4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is a-thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcomes shall inherit call things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son.
Hold fast to the truth of Jesus and the hope you have in Him, dear saint, for your hour of trial is brief and your great reward is eternal. When you see the evil flourishing, remember they are followers of the 'god of this age,' and remember that their time--his time--is short but the rewards to the faithful in Christ shall abide forever.
In II Timothy 3:13, Paul reminds us that as the end of all things draws near, "Evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived," and he goes on to admonish that we who believe must continue in faith despite our trials.
May we remember the words of Jesus through the perilous days ahead, "When these things come to pass, look up and lift up your head, for your redemption draws near," Luke 21:28.
