It proceeds silently, without dramatic effect, yet His footsteps advance ever closer to mankind, and His judgment seat is deployed in the universe at the speed of lightning, immediately followed by the descent of His throne among us.

He is wise, He is righteous and majestic, He quietly arrives among us possessed of authority and filled with love and compassion, and filled with love and compassion. We merely continue our pursuits, as if He has nothing to do with us. We merely continue our pursuits, as if He has nothing to do with us….
