rejoice at the prospect <strong>of</strong> the Second Advent.<br />

Theirs is the assurance, "'"Blessed are those who<br />

are called to the marriage supper <strong>of</strong> the Lamb!"'"<br />

(Rev. 19:9). Indeed, "to those who eagerly wait for<br />

Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin,<br />

for salvation" (Heb. 9:28).<br />

The Redeemer's return brings to a glorious<br />

climax the history <strong>of</strong> God's people. It is the<br />

moment <strong>of</strong> their deliverance, and with joy and<br />

adoration they cry out, "'Behold this is our God; we<br />

have waited for Him ... we will be glad and rejoice<br />

in His salvation'" (Isa. 25:9).<br />
