Our hope is not a halfway, secret return of Christ to earth and a secret Rapture of which Scripture offers no mention. Our hope is our Lord’s glorious return, witnessed by the nations, vindicating those who have sacrificed and suffered for His name. It is the time when the kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of our God and of His Messiah (see Revelation 11:15), and when we as God’s servants, consecrated to Him, will receive our rewards (see verse 18).
