THE
 SECOND
 COMING

                              What is happening?                          
                                                
                                  Where did everybody go?              
                                                
                              Why am I left here?                        

                                    Is there any hope?


                                    SURELY 
                                    I COME 
                                    QUICKLY

                                       REV 22:20

   The questions on the cover [above] are some you might be ask-
ing if you miss the first phase of the Second Coming of
Jesus Christ to the earth, called THE RAPTURE!

WHAT IS THE RAPTURE?
   This is when Jesus Christ comes for His saints, those
who have by faith completely trusted the eternity of their
souls to His saving power with nothing else added.
   "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with
the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
I THESSALONIANS 4:16-17.

WILL YOU BE LEFT BEHIND?
   Those left behind will cry out for help and comfort.
Questions will rise in every heart. Where did the "Chris-
tians" go? One man, Satan's soul-incarnate, the anti-
christ, will have all the answers.
   "Even him, whose coming is after the working of
Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And
with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth,
that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a
lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the
truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
II THESSALONIANS 2:9-12.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
   Peace will reign for 3 ½ years. Then, in this time called
The Great Tribulation in Revelation 7:14, all of God's judgment
will be meted out on this world as Satan's emissaries, the
beast, the anti-christ, and the false prophet wreak havoc
on mankind.

   Revelation 16 records 7 great judgments poured out on
a God-forsaking world and its Satanic leaders! Putrifying
painful sores, seas of deadmen's blood, rivers filled with
blood, and the stench of dying aquatic life will plague man
and beast. The sun will scorch the flesh of blasphemous
man, and then disappear into the blackness of full dark-
ness, as men gnaw their tongues for pain. The Euphrates
River is dried up and God sends great earthquakes, tre-
mendous thunderings, and lightnings, as huge hail stones
pound the remnant of earth's inhabitants. "It is done",
thunders from heaven as God's wrath is satisfied.

THE SECOND COMING.
   And then, the second phase of Christ's Second Com-
ing transpires!
   "...the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his
saints."   I THESSALONIANS 3:13b.
   He comes and defeats the armies of the anti-christ. The
Lord Jesus will then reign for 1000 years!
   You say, "I just can't believe it. I've so many questions."
Let's allow God's Word to answer them for you.

WHEN WILL THE RAPTURE TAKE PLACE?
SOON!
   "...for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man
cometh." MATTHEW 24:44b.
   "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not
the angels of heaven, but my Father only." MATTHEW
24:36.

WILL IT AFFECT ME?   YES!
   "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left." MATTHEW 24:40.
   If you miss the Rapture you will be left behind to go
through the Great Tribulation, then, as a deluded non-
believer, you will end up in Hell for all eternity.

HOW CAN IT BE TRUE?   JESUS SAID SO!
   "...I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also." JOHN 14:3b.
   Jesus Christ would not lie. He promised to come again,
and He will, for those who are ready, THE SAVED.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?   REPENT - BELIEVE - BE
SAVED!!
   "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your
sins may be blotted out," ACTS 3:19a.
   "...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved, and thy house." ACTS 16:31b.
   "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" EPHESIANS 2:8.

       Friend, bow your head and ask God to forgive
    you and save you right now!
       Dear God, be merciful to me a sinner and save
    my soul.   I accept Your Son, Jesus Christ, as my
    Lord and Saviour.   I repent of my sins.   Please save
    me right now for Jesus' sake.   Amen.
