Youknow that Jesus will come again in the clouds?
Little children, do you know when he will come? Shall I tell you when Jesus will come? You would like to know; but I cannot tell you when: I do not know. The angels do not know what day it will be. No one knows but God. There will be many wicked people in the world then, and some good people. An angel will blow a great trumpet, and Jesus will say to the people who are dead, Come out of your graves.
The bodies of all the dead people will come out of their graves. Those who love Christ will be like the angels, and will fly up into the air. If you are alive when Jesus comes, he will catch you up in the air to meet him.
As soon as you see Jesus you will be like him, all shining and glorious. Jesus will be king over the whole world, and make all people happy.
At last Jesus will sit upon a white throne, and everybody will stand round his throne. He will open some books, in which he has written down all the naughty things people have done. God hasseen all the naughty things you have done. He can see in the dark as well as in the light, and knows all your naughty thoughts. He will read everything out of his books before the angels that stand around. Yet God will forgive some people, because Christ died upon the cross.
Whom will he forgive?
Those who love Jesus with all their hearts. He has written down their names in another book, called The Book of Life. He will forgive their sins, wipe away their tears, and let them live with him forever.
Do you hope that Jesus has written down your name in his book?
Ask him to give you his Holy Spirit. Then you will love Jesus, and hate to do wickedly.
This is what God will do to those who do not love him—God will bind them in chains, and put them in a lake of fire. There they will gnash their teeth, and weep and wail forever.
God will put Satan in the same place, and all the devils. Satan is the father of the wicked, and he and his children shall be tormented forever. They shall not have one drop of water to cool their burning tongues. Many people in hell will say, How I wish I had listened to the words of my teachers! But I would not mind; and now it is too late. Inever can come out of this dreadful place. How foolish I have been! Once God would have heard my prayers, but now I weep and wail in vain.
I hope, my dear children, that none of you will ever speak such sad words.
Remember Satan goes about as a cunning serpent, trying to make you disobey God; but Christ will keep you from wickedness, if you pray to him.
One day God will burn up this world we live in. It is dreadful to see a house on fire. Did you ever see one? But how dreadful it will be to see this great world and all the houses and trees burning! The noise will be terrible: the heat will be very great. The wicked will not be able to get away. They will be cast into the lake of fire. The world will not burn forever; God will make another world, much better than this.
If you are God’s child, you will not be frightened when the world is burning, for you will be safe with Jesus, praising him for having loved and saved you.
How oft behind yon hillThe sun has hid his face!How oft return’d to fillWith joyful light the place!And shall the sun forever thus return?Shall morn succeed to eve, and eve to morn?Oh no! the day shall come,(And who can tell how soon!)When dark shall be that sun,And red the silver moon:When sun or moon shall never more return,But God on clouds shall come the world to burn.Oh! say shall I be there,To see the dreadful glare,The dreadful sound to hear,The dreadful heat to bear,Of falling crags and rocks, of roaring seas,Of smoking hills, and flaming earth and skies?Oh! yes, I shall be there;The graves shall open’d be;Allshall the trumpet hear,The Judge’s face shall see:In vain shall some upon the mountains call,To hide their heads from him who judges all.The books shall then be read,In which our God has wroteAll that we ever said,Or ever did or thought;And many cheeks with burning shame shall glow,And many souls be plunged in deepest woe.And how shall I escapeFrom endless misery?My sins, a mighty heap,Show I deserve to die.And yet to think upon that burning lakeMakes my flesh tremble, and my bones to shake.Lord! by the blood he shedWho hung upon the tree,Before the books are read,May my sins pardon’d be!And then my tears shall all be wiped away,And I shall dwell in everlasting day.

Oh no! the day shall come,
(And who can tell how soon!)
When dark shall be that sun,
And red the silver moon:
When sun or moon shall never more return,
But God on clouds shall come the world to burn.

And how shall I escape
From endless misery?
My sins, a mighty heap,
Show I deserve to die.
And yet to think upon that burning lake
Makes my flesh tremble, and my bones to shake.
