When the world comes to a knowledge of the fact that the Lord, the great deliverer and benefactor of man, has returned, every honest soul will be filled with joy and every grateful heart will respond in songs of gladness.
[351]To the Christian the Lord's return is one of the most wonderfully precious strings upon the harp of God.

It yields music of unsurpassed sweetness.

Blessed are the eyes of those who see and ears of those who hear and learn that the Lord has come and is now present.
[352]The suffering and groaning of the whole creation daily increases, and this condition is putting the people in an attitude of mind to take heed to the evidence of the meaning of these present events.

The time has come for all to awaken and diligently inquire concerning the presence of the King of kings.
FACT OF HIS COMING [353]The reasons why we should expect the Lord's second coming are numerous, but unless we call these to mind, even though we once knew them, we overlook their importance.

If we have never known them, then an examination of these reasons is satisfying to the hungry soul.
