The Lord Jesus Christ is coming again! He could be here any moment! He could come today! This is not the foolish claim that He will come today. Nor is it about setting a specific date for His arrival, which would be just as foolish and wrong; and yet many do it. It is the sober statement of a fact, to shake souls out of their carelessness and complacency and point them to the clear testimony of God's own Word that the Lord Jesus will come again, and it could be today.

Der deutschstämmige US-amerikanische Bibellehrer und Publizist Arno Clemens Gaebelein (1861–1945) gehörte zu den einflussreichsten Vertretern des frühen evangelikalen Dispensationalismus. Er prägte durch seine Zeitschrift Our Hope und die Mitarbeit an der Scofield Reference Bible die heilsgeschichtliche Schriftauslegung, während Historiker seine zeitweilige Verwendung verschwörungstheoretischer Motive in den 1930er Jahren kritisch analysierten. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein mehrbändiger Kommentar The Annotated Bible eine leicht zugängliche, christuszentrierte Auslegung des gesamten biblischen Kanons.
