At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jesus is coming soon! Read\u00a0Matthew 24<\/em>\u00a0from start to finish and you will see the signs of His coming all around us. One of the prophecies concerning His return concerns the rise of false prophets and even those who claim to be Messiah.<\/p>\n

Since 1891, when the blind hymn writer, Fanny Crosby wrote this week’s hymn, there have many false leaders who claimed to be the promised Messiah. Each of these charlatans lacked the required proof— the prints of the nails in his hands! Carefully read the words of this old hymn.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Savior First of All<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

When my lifework is ended,
\nand I cross the swelling tide,
\nWhen the bright and glorious morning I shall see;
\nI shall know my Redeemer
\nwhen I reach the other side,
\nAnd His smile will be the first to welcome me.<\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nAnd redeemed by His side I shall stand,
\nI shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nBy the print of the nails in His hand.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, the soul-thrilling rapture
\nwhen I view His blessed face,
\nAnd the luster of His kindly beaming eye;
\nHow my full heart will praise Him
\nfor the mercy, love and grace,
\nThat prepare for me a mansion in the sky.<\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nAnd redeemed by His side I shall stand,
\nI shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nBy the print of the nails in His hand.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, the dear ones in glory,
\nhow they beckon me to come,
\nAnd our parting at the river I recall;
\nTo the sweet vales of Eden
\nthey will sing my welcome home;
\nBut I long to meet my Savior first of all.<\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nAnd redeemed by His side I shall stand,
\nI shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nBy the print of the nails in His hand.<\/em><\/p>\n

Through the gates to the city
\nin a robe of spotless white,
\nHe will lead me where no tears will ever fall;
\nIn the glad song of ages
\nI shall mingle with delight;
\nBut I long to meet my Savior first of all.<\/p>\n

Refrain:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nAnd redeemed by His side I shall stand,
\nI shall know Him, I shall know Him,
\nBy the print of the nails in His hand.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
