“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus !”Revelation 14:12 This well-known verse is a wonderful description of those who are waiting for our Lord’s return. There are, however, some conflicting opinions as to the exact meaning of this verse, in particular …
“In that day . . . will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean, yea, from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you . . .
Then the heathen (unbelieving) that are left round about you shall know . . . that I the LORD build the ruined places, and I the LORD plant that which was desolate . . . For I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it !”
– Ezekiel 36:25-56*
