"Ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and
true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven." 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
Many scholars of prophecy do not really know how to wait
for the Lord’s return. I knew a missionary sister from the West who truly looked
for his appearing.
I remember how on the last day of 1925, at Pagoda
Anchorage, I was praying with her. "O Lord," she prayed, "will you
really allow this year to pass away? Must you wait until 1926 to come back?
Even on this last day of the year I still ask you to come today." I knew
how genuine was her prayer. Several months later I met her on the road. She took
my hand and said, "Brother Nee, is it not strange that he has not yet
come?"
Her words told me that she was not just an expert in prophetic
doctrine, as I was fast becoming, but one who had fellowship with the Lord and
was really waiting for his return. She showed herself to be a genuine “scholar
of Second Coming prophecy.” Her heart longing was for the Lord himself.
