Many people in religious circles adhere to the prophecy that the Lord will descend riding on a cloud and they are waiting for Him to come that way to rapture them into the kingdom of heaven, but overlooking the Lord's prophecies of coming in secret: "Behold, I come as a thief" (Revelation 16:15). "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him" (Matthew 25:6). So how are these prophecies of the Lord's return fulfilled? And how should we be the wise virgins who welcome the Lord's return?

My name is Xu Qiang. I was once a project contractor. I led many people to undertake contracted projects every year and had a good income. In the eyes of my contemporaries, I had a happy family and smooth career and had a great future, so I should be the happiest man. However, while enjoying the material life, I felt an unexplainable emptiness in my heart. Especially in order to undertake contracted projects, I had to ingratiate myself with the leaders of the relevant departments all day, observing their speech and behavior and fawning and flattering them.
