A Crown in Your Future - Daily Devotional by Max Lucado

There is a crowning in your future. Not in Westminster Abbey, but in Paradise, and not by the Archbishop of Canterbury, but by Jesus. By this point we will have been raptured from earth and escorted into the presence of our Savior. And Jesus will have kept the promise: “I’ll come back and get you so you can live where I live” (John 14:3).

Millions, maybe billions, of people will have vanished. Graves will be vacant. God-rejectors will tumble into a cesspool of violence and pandemonium. At some point a despot will promise to restore peace. He will sign a treaty with Israel, and seven years of tribulation will begin. Thankfully, we will not be here to witness it. As the chaos begins below, the celebration will have begun above.
