Bible Promises
"That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasting and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land" (Zephaniah 1:15-18).
"And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book" (Daniel 12:1).
"For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another" (Job 19:25-27).
"Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice" (Psalm 50:3-5).
"For he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth" (Psalm 96:13).
"Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him" (Isaiah 62:11).
"And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, said the Lord of hosts" (Haggai 2:7).
"And the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, said the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver" (Malachi 3:1-3).
And as recorded in the New Testament:
"Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all" ungodly sinners and bring salvation to His saints (Jude 1:14, 15).
And as Enoch was "translated that he should not see death" (Hebrews 11:5; Genesis 5:24), and therefore lives today-in Heaven above with his Creator and Redeemer-it follows that the first preacher, or prophet, of the Second Advent is still living!
