and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people
shall He take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. And it shall be
said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this

And Habakkuk, rapt in holy vision, beheld His appearing. "God came from
Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and the
earth was full of His praise. And His brightness was as the light." "He stood, and
measured the earth: He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting
mountains were scattered, the perpetual hill did bow: His ways are everlasting."
"Thou didst ride upon Thine horses and Thy chariots of salvation." "The mountains
saw Thee, and they trembled: . . . the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands
on high. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of Thine arrows
they went, and at the shining of Thy glittering spear." "Thou wentest forth for the
salvation of Thy people, even for salvation with Thine anointed." Habakkuk 3:3, 4, 6,
8, 10, 11, 13.
When the Saviour was about to be separated from His disciples, He comforted

place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto Myself." John 14:1-3. "The Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the
holy angels with Him." "Then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before
Him shall be gathered all nations." Matthew 25:31, 32.
The angels who lingered upon Olivet after Christ's ascension repeated to the
disciples the promise of His return: "This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven." Acts 1:11.
And the apostle Paul, speaking by the Spirit of Inspiration, testified: "The Lord
Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and
with the trump of God." 1 Thessalonians 4:16. Says the prophet of Patmos: "Behold,
He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him." Revelation 1:7.
