To the wicked and the proud, it will be a Day of judgment that will
"set them ablaze" (Mal. 4:1). The signs preceding this Day will bring

and

the
encouragement
of the
Scriptures" (Rom. 15:4) be strengthened in our hope by the Holy Spirt
and watch diligently for Jesus' coming. Then, by God's grace, we shall
escape all these things that will come to pass
and stand betore the Son
of Man
