At the mention of the kingdom of heaven, we will imagine there will be fields of gold and walls of jade and doors of pearl, full of yearning for it. The Lord Jesus once promised: “I go to prepare a place for you.

All believers in the Lord wish to welcome the Lord and be taken into the kingdom of heaven in the last days. Then, how can we greet the Lord? Some say: We only need to wait for the Lord to descend among clouds and receive us because the Bible says that the Lord will come upon clouds. However, as the disaster is getting bigger and bigger, the Bible prophecies about the Lord’s second coming has been basically fulfilled.
