“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.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus is coming soon! One of the prophecies concerning His return concerns the rise of false prophets and even those who claim to be the Messiah. 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\u2014the prints of the nails in his hands! Read carefully the words the words of this old hymn:<\/p>\n

“<\/em><\/strong>My Savior First of All<\/em><\/strong><\/a>“<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When my life work 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/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>\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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong><\/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 they
\nwill sing my welcome home;
\nBut I long to meet my Savior first of all.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong><\/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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
