00:31:31.32\00:31:36.22 who may be watching online 00:31:36.26\00:31:37.63 as part of this Secrets Unsealed Summit. 00:31:37.66\00:31:40.10 My name is Melissa Laurel Alexander 00:31:40.13\00:31:42.46 and joining me here on the piano is my brother Rodney Laurel. 00:31:42.53\00:31:46.43 We live in Fresno, California 00:31:46.47\00:31:48.37 and have been singing and playing piano... 00:31:48.40\00:31:50.41 sharing songs about Jesus since we were quite young. 00:31:50.44\00:31:53.78 We are so happy to share with you now a few songs... 00:31:53.84\00:31:57.15 songs, I pray, of hope and encouragement 00:31:57.21\00:31:59.71 and especially of the precious hope we have... 00:31:59.78\00:32:02.78 the blessed hope of our Lord Jesus' soon return. 00:32:02.85\00:32:05.82 As we look around us in the world right now, 00:32:05.85\00:32:08.76 there is chaos and uncertainty to an even greater level, 00:32:08.82\00:32:12.99 perhaps than we have ever seen before 00:32:13.03\00:32:15.03 in the history of the world 00:32:15.06\00:32:16.53 and all of us in many ways have been affected. 00:32:16.56\00:32:20.17 This earth is ripe for the second coming of Jesus 00:32:20.20\00:32:23.77 and His judgment hour indeed is at hand. 00:32:23.81\00:32:27.08 The Bible tells us that men's... 00:32:27.11\00:32:29.11 people's hearts are failing them for fear... 00:32:29.14\00:32:32.78 fear for what is happening and what is to come 00:32:32.81\00:32:36.38 but, should we be fearful 00:32:36.42\00:32:38.69 if we're prepared to face what's coming and what that means? 00:32:38.72\00:32:42.69 And the real question we must all answer one day is, 00:32:42.72\00:32:46.66 "Are we ready for Jesus to come?" 00:32:46.70\00:32:49.90 Piano... 00:32:49.93\00:33:16.42 The theme of the Bible is Jesus, 00:33:16.46\00:33:24.63 And how He came to save men. 00:33:24.67\00:33:32.17 The plan of salvation assures us, 00:33:32.21\00:33:40.68 He's coming back again. 00:33:40.72\00:33:48.79 Are you ready for Jesus to come? 00:33:48.82\00:33:57.63 Are you faithful in all that you do? 00:33:57.67\00:34:04.87 Have you fought a good fight; 00:34:04.91\00:34:08.91 Have you stood for the right:

Can you look up and say, 00:34:36.74\00:34:40.54 "This is my Lord!" 00:34:40.58\00:34:46.65 Are you ready for Jesus to come? 00:34:46.68\00:34:54.99 Piano... 00:34:55.02\00:35:03.93 Don't cling to the world 00:35:03.97\00:35:07.90 and its treasures, 00:35:07.94\00:35:12.14 This earth will soon pass away 00:35:12.17\00:35:19.38 But give Him your heart 00:35:19.41\00:35:23.02 without measure, 00:35:23.05\00:35:27.59 He's coming back again. 00:35:27.62\00:35:35.76 Are you ready for Jesus to come? 00:35:35.80\00:35:43.97 Are you faithful in all that you do? 00:35:44.01\00:35:51.25 Have you fought a good fight; 00:35:51.28\00:35:54.85 Have you stood for the right; 00:35:54.88\00:35:58.72 Have others seen Jesus in you? 00:35:58.75\00:36:05.43 Are you ready to stand in your place? 00:36:05.46\00:36:13.27 Are you ready to look on His face? 00:36:13.30\00:36:20.68 Can you look up and say, 00:36:20.71\00:36:25.45 "This is my Lord!" 00:36:25.48\00:36:32.92 Are you ready for Jesus... 00:36:32.95\00:36:37.73 Are you ready for Jesus 00:36:37.76\00:36:42.06 Are you ready 00:36:42.10\00:36:45.30 for Jesus 00:36:45.33\00:36:48.04 to come? 00:36:48.07\00:36:53.71 Music... 00:36:53.74\00:37:01.08 There's a story you may know 00:37:01.12\00:37:03.35 in the book of Matthew 00:37:03.39\00:37:04.72 about 10 virgins. 00:37:04.75\00:37:06.25 They were all waiting for the bridegroom to come 00:37:06.29\00:37:10.13 so they could join the wedding party 00:37:10.19\00:37:12.29 and celebrate that he had come for his bride... 00:37:12.36\00:37:15.03 but as we know, 00:37:15.06\00:37:17.00 they all fell asleep while waiting 00:37:17.03\00:37:19.23 but at midnight, there was a cry... 00:37:19.27\00:37:21.37 "The bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him.
