The Bible urges us to follow as we face this Second Coming of Jesus. Starting in verse 11 when he says, 11 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,1 Thessalonians 4.11 I think it is beautiful that the Bible doesn’t give us a specific time and season when Jesus will come back but clearly show us what the signs...
