Who said, “Thou must not worship me;
To God address thy prayer.”
LESSON LII.
THE JUDGMENT DAY.
I. Thess. iv. 15-17. Rev. xx. 11 to end.
You know that Jesus will come again in the clouds?
Little children, do you know when he will come? Shall I tell you when Jesus will come? You would like to know; but I cannot tell you when: I do not know. The angels do not know what day it will be. No one knows but God. There will be many wicked people in the world then, and some good people. An angel will blow a great trumpet, and Jesus will say to the people who are dead, Come out of your graves.
The bodies of all the dead people will come out of their graves. Those who love Christ will be like the angels, and will fly up into the air. If you are alive when Jesus comes, he will catch you up in the air to meet him.
As soon as you see Jesus you will be like him, all shining and glorious. Jesus will be king over the whole world, and make all people happy.
At last Jesus will sit upon a white throne, and everybody will stand round his throne. He will open some books, in which he has written down all the naughty things people have done. God has seen all the naughty things you have done. He can see in the dark as well as in the light, and knows all your naughty thoughts. He will read everything out of his books before the angels that stand around. Yet God will forgive some people, because Christ died upon the cross.
