6.     A Glorious End:

“I will be merciful to [your] unrighteousness, and [your] sins...” “… I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” “…And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” “…Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward [for you] with me…” – Jesus (Hebrews 8:12, 13:5, Matthew 28:20, Revelation 22:12).

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words.”             – Paul (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).
