Part 6: The Reward of the Righteous
16. What will Christ have with him?
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12 (For further study see 2 Timothy 4:8 and 1 Peter 5:4.)
17. When will Jesus return?
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 25:13 (For further study see James 5:8.)
Note: Christ said that no one would know the day or the hour but he did not say that we wouldn’t know when this event was getting close, and he gave us signs to know when it would be close.
