"And he said to me, 'Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.' And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work." Revelation 22:11, 12 NKJVCFL 72.3
