It won’t be long now, until dear Mr. Turnbull and so many others of the Lord’s redeemed ones will awaken at the blast of the trumpet… “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” I Corinthians 15:22…. “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
1 Thessalonians 4:17
That is truly A GLORIOUS EXPECTATION!
Love in Christ
