1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
February 2, 2000
Just a casual reading through the book of 1st Thessalonians gives every child of God great hope! Every chapter concludes by pointing to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. And tonight we come to one of the great prophetic passages that tells us that Jesus is coming again.

From the Mount of Olives we read in Acts 1:9-11, "Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they were looking steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heav ...
