1 John 2:28
King James Version (KJV)
“28 And now, little children, abide (reside, continue, stay, etc…) in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” Amein, Amein.
The idea is to continue in YH’shua’s example of sharing the good news, prompting those that want to procrastinate, “his return can occur as we speak,” adding, “and though no one knows the hour and day, THAT HOUR AND DAY CAN BE IN A FEW MINUTES, ARE YOU READY FOR HIS RETURN?!!!!!! Amein.
