Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, including those who pierced Him. And all the families of the earth will mourn over Him. This is certain. Amen.

I wait for Your salvation, LORD.

Wait for the LORD; be courageous and let your heart be strong. Wait for the LORD.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act,

My salvation and glory depend on God; my strong rock, my refuge, is in God.

For my eyes have seen Your salvation.

And not only that, but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits-- we also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.
