Which again, happens at the Lord's return, Look again at Luke and what God said to the rich man. The LORD's coming for him, as it were, was that very night. Indeed, many passages are illuminated when looking at them not only in the light of the arrival of the Messiah in the clouds when every eye shall see Him, but also by His presence. The teaching recorded in Luke, and elsewhere, to be ready and waiting for Him could thus be understood in light of the rich man, that our souls may be required of us this very night, and at any hour, so we should strive always be ready and found without fault, serving Him as He commanded. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
