"In one sense, as far as our own personal experience is concerned, the Second Coming is as 'soon' as our death. We die, and regardless of how long after we are in the grave--two years, two hundred, two thousand--we sleep, and the next thing we know, in an instant, in a twinkling of an eye, Jesus has returned. Thus, one could argue that from our own personal perspective alone, from what we personally experience ourselves, the Second Coming takes no longer than the span of an individual human life. Although the Second Coming itself is a literal universal event that impacts the whole earth, we experience it only as individuals."

If you read your quarterly this week, then you have already heard that once this week, since I copied it right from Thursday's reading. But I liked it, so I thought I would share it with the rest of ya'll :)
