Before the Door

James 5:7-9 KJV
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

The coming of the Lord is given in three levels.

It is announced
Be patient… unto the coming of the Lord. The result of the doctrine of Christ's coming should inspire patience in the believer.

It is hastened
The Word says it draws nigh. We are to be patient but our patience will be soon rewarded.

It is before the door.
I don't know when the Lord will call us to Himself. I do believe that it is drawing closer every day and that it is even now at the door.
