Commentary

coming . . . draweth nigh--The Greek expresses present time and a settled state. Pe1 4:7, "is at hand." We are to live in a continued state of expectancy of the Lord's coming, as an event always nigh. Nothing can more "stablish the heart" amidst present troubles than the realized expectation of His speedy coming.
