According to Your word to Your servant.

Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms
And close your doors behind you;
Hide for a little

while

Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.

As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
