THE APOSTOLIC EXHORTATIONS ARE ENFORCED, NOT BY THE CONSIDERATION OF ANY JUDGMENT AT DEATH, BUT BY THE COMING OF OUR LORD
 

EB 10:25,37. “Exhorting one another, and so much the more as ye see the day approaching.” “For yet a little while and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.”  Jas 5:7,8,9. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord”-“establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.”-“behold the judge standeth before the door.”  1Pe 1:13 -“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you (not at death, but) at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”  1Pe 1:13. Rejoice inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that WHEN HIS GLORY SHALL BE REVEALED, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.”  2Pe 1:10,11. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you into (where?) the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”  1Jo 2:28. “And now little children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.”  1Ti 6:14. “Keep this commandment until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  Re 2:25. “Hold fast till I come.” See also  Jude 14,15 Re 2:26 Re 3:11,12. “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and ye shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God. &c.
