7. Returning:

But just as human history had a beginning, so it will have an ending. And that ending involves Jesus returning in full power as ruler and judge:

Mark 13:26-37
Jesus told them (when the end comes): ?I?ll be seen, surrounded by clouds of power and glory. I shall send out my Messengers to gather my people from the four corners of the world?from all over the shop.

?There?s a lesson to be learned from the humble fig tree: its new leaves tell you summer?s coming. When you see all this happening, you?ll know the clock is ticking, and the countdown has begun. And you will see it happen! Remember: even planets and suns finally die?but my words live forever.

?And no one knows when ?The End? gets written in the big book! Not the angels! Not even me! God alone knows, and that?s a fact. So, stay on your toes, and keep your eyes open. It?s like when the boss goes away on a trip and leaves the staff in charge?each with their own job to do. Stick to your duty, and keep your eyes peeled because you don?t know when The Boss is coming back! It might be tomorrow, or the day after, or next week, or? whenever. So don?t slack off.

?Pass this message on to everyone else, and stay alert!?
