[1] Author’s Commentary
From ages past to the present, and coming the impending future. The Holy Scriptures from the beginning of Genesis to the last page of the Book of Revelation. The victory is, and always shalt be the Lord’s as it is written in Revelation 22: 12,13, And, Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
[2] Author’s Commentary
Until the forthcoming appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ’s second coming. The faithful are to do their due diligence, and to watch and pray as it is written in Revelation 3:3, Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
As a Christian if a conflict should arise, we are to obey God rather than man, as it is written in Act’s 5:29, Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said. We ought to obey God rather then men.
The hour is coming, and is already here, when the believer is called upon to be a ‘Good Soldier’ for Jesus Christ the Lord as it is written in 2nd Timothy 2:3, Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier for Jesus Christ.
The faithful is called to ‘Occupy’ till the imminent appearing of the LORD in the clouds as it is written in Luke 19:13, And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them , Occupy till I come.
Holy Scriptures
Ephesians 6:13, Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
