Will You Be Ready?

'How near is that most blessed, joyful day! It comes apace. ‘He that shall come will come, and will not tarry!' Though my Lord seems to delay his coming, yet a little while and he will be here. What is a few hundred years when they are over? How surely will his sign appear! How suddenly will he seize upon the careless world, even ‘as the lightning cometh out of the east and shineth unto the west!' He who is gone hence shall so come.' – Richard Baxter
