Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen all the day, and all the night, they shall never hold their peace. You that are mindful of the Lord, hold not your peace (Isaiah 62:6 Douay Rheims)

Look what's here: 2 Peter 3:3-4 (New International Version, ©2010)

³ Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. ⁴ They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

(Please don't let anyone deceive you. I'm not lying. The Bible is there for everyone to investigate what I say, for themselves. Don't let any body or any church tell you we're not in the times of the end; And that... 'for generations the people have been saying the exact same thing!, so don't pay any attention to that talk!'... If they want to fool someone, let them only fool themselves. Don't let anyone fool you, my friend! Clearly it can be seen that things are different now than they have ever been. Even non-Christians see it and talk about it. {Even more than Christians it seems, and that's just embarrassing!} If you want to, pray and ask our Lord to show you what is true. 'James 1:5- If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.') All this I say out of love. •

The fact is there will be many special rewards for the believer that remains faithful and watches and prays for the Lord to return. One reward is an "open door" to enter heaven BEFORE the tribulation starts, another reward is these people will be seated next to Jesus himself and they will rule with him for 1000 years.•
