When I was a little girl, I dreamed one night, that I was sitting, waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus. It seemed to be the day fixed for Him to come for His people, and I wanted to go with Him too. I waited for some time, but could not see Him coming, and, at last, I found out that the Lord has indeed returned, and was gone back again, but, alas! I was “left behind.” O, how sad I felt at the thought of being “left behind.”
Now, dear children, this was only a dream, but it is quite true, the Lord Jesus will come in the clouds some day, He has not told us what day, but He has promised to come again, to receive all those who are saved, who trust Him for their salvation, unto Himself.
What a happy day it will be for those who are ready when He comes for them. They shall see Him and be like Him, and be forever with Him. O! how delightful!
But how very sad for those who are not ready, they will be “left behind.” How will it be with you? Some of you have fathers and mothers, some have brothers and sisters who are Christians. They will be “caught up” to meet Him. Will you be “left behind?”
There will be no salvation for any who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour when the Lord comes. They will be left behind for His judent, “because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10,11,1210And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:10‑12).
