This very objection might have been brought against the words of Christ Himself. He said by the mouth of the beloved disciple, “Behold, I come quickly,” (Revelation 3:11; 22:7, 12) and John responds, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20. Jesus spoke these words as words of warning and encouragement to His people; and why should we not heed them? The Lord has said that it is the faithful who will be found watching and waiting for Him. It was the unfaithful servant who said, “My Lord delayeth his coming,” (Luke 12:45) and began to smite his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunken. (RC 258.3) MC VC
