Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-08-25 03:27:45:

For it is better to be said unto thee: Come up hither. than that thou should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom thine eyes have seen. The Lord Jesus when He descends from heaven with the shout, and the voice of the arc Angel, shall say Come up Hither, then all those in the graves will awaken to see the Prince of Glory. Until then we are to occupy until He comes, and take the seat of lessor glory. Never promote thyself, but let another man praise thee. Humble thyself under the mighty hand of God, and in due time thou shall be exalted.
