JESUS IS COMING AGAIN. THE WORLD SHOULD NOT COUNT HIS PROMISE SLACKING CONCERNING HIS COMING. HIS DELAY IS OWING TO THE FACT THAT MANY HAVE NOT BELIEVED BUT RELEGATED HIM AND HIS SPOKEN WORDS TO THE BACKGROUND. REPENT FOR THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE SOUL THAT SINNETH SHALL DIE. BUT LUCKILY SOMEONE THE SINLESS HAS DIED SO THAT YOU WILL NOT DIE. TNX.
