Lynne Marcia Laurenzo

In loving Memory of Lynne Marcia Laurenzo

1949 - 2025

It is with both a heavy and grateful heart that I advise y'all that my high-school sweetheart and precious wife of 58 years, went Home to be with her Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday November 28, 2025, at 6:25 P.M. As she drew her last breath here, I believe that she met Jesus face to face and together hand in hand, He ushered her into the very Throne Room of Almighty God The Father surrounded by a vast number of heavenly host singing Glory to God in the Highest & Worthy is The Lamb!

I'm quite certain that she has already met her Guardian Angel, whom Lynne kept VERY BUSY during her 76 earth years of life & expressed her gratitude. Also in attendance were innumerable other angels, her earthly parents (Earl & Betty Buell), her Grampa (Fred Talford), her in-laws (Fred & Josephine Laurenzo), her Sister-in-law, Joni Laurenzo along with a vast number of Aunts, Uncles, Bro. in Law, Paul Stoops, many Cousins including Andy Marinello & Linda Palmer Harrington, Dr. Bobby Collins, Joseph Carota and two very special friends who formerly lived in Schenectady, N.Y. ( Shirley Phinney and Karlynn Vasal). Shirley transitioned from earth to Glory just a few months ago, while Karlynn preceded Lynne before our departure from upstate New York, and relocation to Texas in 1986.

It's a good thing that we shall be free of time constraints in Heaven, so we can enjoy visiting with all our dear friends and relatives. I teased Lynne and our daughter, Patti Lynne, about having 2 and sometimes 3 daily phone conversations ( of which Lynne could never recall what they talked about due to her breathing problem ). These phone calls were a blessing to both of these dear ladies. Many times I'd walk into the living room, where Lynne's recliner and place where she spent 99.9% of the past two years is located and I'd see and hear her praying with someone, not just our daughters. Lynne has a servant heart and was a precious help-mate, encourager and cheer leader to both our girls and to me. We enjoyed ministering to those in need of a touch from God or had a special need in their family or with a co-worker or friend. It was not unusual for us to approach a complete stranger when and where The Holy Spirit revealed a need. We considered each opportunity a "Divine Appointment". Lynne is a true Bond-Servant and Ambassador for Christ in addition to being a formidable Soldier/Warrior who served alongside me throughout our marriage. The Holy Spirit deposited, within her, several Gifts of the Spirit that complemented my calling and giftings (1 Corinthians 12-14) not unlike the ministry of a couple found in Scripture ( Priscilla and Aquila-Acts 18:1-2; See also Acts 18:18, 26; Rom 16:3; 1 Cor 16:19; and 2 Tim 4:19). In the attachment to this Tribute and Testimony, you'll find a very brief bio. on this couple, along with 7 applicable attributes we can all implement to assist in our discipleship to Christ).

Lynne is survived by her loving husband, Eugene (Gene) residing in Ft. Worth, Tx., Daughters (Lisa Wells, Patti Jacobsen, Kimberly Dunnam & Jennifer Curtis), 11 Grandchildren and 9 Great Grandchildren, her sister Cheryl Stoops of Ketchum, Idaho and Sister-in-law, Kay Laurenzo of Stone Mtn., Ga., two Brother-in laws, David Laurenzo of Lecantor, Fla. and Dr. & Mrs. Fred Laurenzo of Oxford, Ms. plus a large number of nieces, nephews and cousins who reside throughout the United States.

Lynne slept most of the day on Friday the 28th. and was at peace, with several of our daughters, grandchildren, and I at her bedside as she breathed her last breath and left for her Heavenly Home. Thus began Lynne's brand new, pain-free life for the first time in 38 years! (Lynne had experienced severe and constant pain every day since suffering a severe spinal injury while working as a Charge Nurse in a Skilled Nursing Home, back in 1986.) Since that time, she had several spinal surgeries to prevent her spine from crumbling. She had injection therapy, an internal stimulator installed & then removed due to rejection by her body and she was kept upright by rods, cages and 4" screws placed into her pelvis. None of this "fixed her" or offered much in the way of relief. For reasons unknown to us, The Lord did not choose to heal her until she departed for heaven but that didn't prevent us from praying for and ministering to many in need of healing throughout her life. For the past two years, Lynne suffered with a severe breathing problem caused by her body not expelling carbon dioxide as it should. As a result of this, she required O2 24/7 and her short term memory suffered to the point where she couldn't recall a conversation she had only 5 minutes before. The symptoms were similar to dementia/Alzheimer Disease but it was neither of these dreaded diseases. During any given conversation, she was usually lucid except if and when she needed to recall something from a recent but prior conversation. Any indication of dementia could/would only be detected by a trained individual or a very astute person. The normal amount of CO2 should be in the 30% range but at times her reading was as high as 86% while her O2 saturation plummeted to a low reading of 39% rather than a normal and safe reading of 95%-97% . During those life-threatening instances, we had to call 911 and she was immediately rushed to the E.R. with subsequent admission to the Hospital.

I share all of this only to explain our inability to attend church, in person, or leave our home except for M.D. visits, the latter being less frequently. Thankfully, we were able to have Virtual visits with our P.C.P. 3 out of 4 weeks per month. Satan's attack on Lynne's body, and our lives, was relentless but, it didn't stop us from taking every opportunity given to share the love of Christ and His faithfulness to anyone The Holy Spirit led across our path or via the telephone.

Back to the events of the week of Thanksgiving. Anticipating Lynne's Heaven-bound journey, our daughter, Kimberly Dunnam, coordinated our Family, Thanksgiving Day meal and cooked a large portion of the dinner, including the Turkey, dressing, pies, and salads herself. Assisted by her sister, Lisa Wells, they planned and coordinated a memorable Thanksgiving Day Dinner, which was supplemented by their sisters' delicious contributions.

Preceding Thanksgiving Day, Lisa & Kim labored diligently, day & night, cleaning our home from floor to ceiling, like it hadn't been cleaned in the 2 years since Lynne's health took a dramatic decline. Mr. Mom just couldn't keep up with the cooking, cleaning, personal care of Lynne and providing care for our 3 GSD's. I can't thank Lisa and Kim enough. They were truly a blessing to both Mom and to me and continue to love on and support their Daddy. Lynne and I are very appreciative and proud of all our daughters.

Lynne dozed on and off on Thanksgiving Day, but was able to speak with and enjoy all the love lavished on her by our daughters & their spouses, 9 of our 11 Grandchildren, and 6 of our 9 Great-grandchildren. Lauren lives in Jordan, working with the USO, planning and overseeing events for our military men and women and her sister, Kristina Allen, a Beautiful R.N. and Army Wife, was not able to make the trip from Kansas, where she resides with her 3 sons & our Grand dog, Maggie. Her husband, Major Alex Allen, is currently serving in Poland.

Lynne's departure has left a gaping hole within each of our hearts and lives, but, the promises of God, in His Word, have already begun to heal us and fill our hearts with gladness. Lynne is alive and well. I mean, Totally Well without any pain. I'm sure she's dancing and worshipping before The Throne of God and singing in the Heavenly Choir. She might even dare to brag about a certain Bass Soloist she used to live with.That reminds me. Lynne, please greet our former Music Minister and Care Pastor, Paul Paschal and ask if he'd give me a good reference and save a place in the Heavenly choir for me. Please greet Harold Whitten for me but shh (don't tell him that I'm gonna ask Linda to sing a duet with me at your Memorial). I'm thinking of a song that you and I used to sing together.

Yes, dear Friends, we can sing and be glad and even enjoy humor during our time of mourning and grief. We have put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness and look forward to joining Lynne when The Lord returns or, calls us Home. We grieve for our loss but rejoice for Lynne's Graduation to Glory and celebrate her life spent with us over the past 60 years. It seems to me, just yesterday that I rang your door bell and you walked out with your blond hair blowing and ravishing blue eyes sparkling. I still can feel my heart all jittery as you captured my heart on the banks of Saratoga Lake (Brown's Beach and Sally G. and Cheryl M. were given you the evil stare LOL. My brother David said we wouldn't last 6 months but he sure missed the mark by...uhh, six decades. I thank and praise God for his grace mercy and manifold blessings on our marriage and family. Thank you darling for taking a chance despite both of our parents lack of support in the initial days and months. I'm so glad both sets came to their senses eventually and grew to love us and support us. I praise and thank God for His grace, mercy and manifold blessings on our marriage and lives with our beautiful daughters. God has truly made something beautiful out of each of them.

I miss you so very much, my darling, but don't worry about the girls or me: They are taking good care of me and I them and, whenever they can't be here with me, our Fur Babies (Jake, Charlie, and Gretchen) give me lots of licks and love. Oh, that reminds me: Please ask about arrangements for them with whomever is in charge of the animals. I might need a rural setting for Tina, Tanya, Mr. Buttons and Baron in addition to our current three 😅. 🐕 You might want to inquire of Brother Noah since he has experience with animals. ( Please excuse my attempt at humor as I write with tears streaming down my face!😭 ).

Please greet my Mom & Dad and Mom & Dad Buell, elder brother Joe, Sister Joni and dear friends, Shirley Phinney and Sister Vasal from the Colonie, N.Y. assembly as well as all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. Let our parents know that I love and miss them and look forward to a glorious reunion just as soon as The Lord is done with me here on earth. All of your girls and extended family send their love and miss you and can't wait to see you and join you at The Marriage Supper of The Lamb. I know it will be a fabulous time honoring our Abba Father & Lord Jesus Christ while enjoying great food, fellowship and Heavenly music!

To all who are reading or listening. The following is the most important part of this announcement/memorial. Below, please find the words that we spoke about sharing with each of you: it's the reason that Lynne had the strength and courage to face each new day, despite her circumstances. It's the secret to Joy, Peace, and Hope. It's how she overcame fear and worry and it is THE Only way... THE ONLY ANSWER as to how you can experience the same peace and assurance and face the final enemy, called Death, with confidence and courage. Death is NOT the end, my friends, but rather, the doorway into Eternity. If you wish to roll the dice and make plans to put off until some other time rather than today, please read the Scriptures below about waiting, procrastinating, and putting God off until there's a more convenient time. Time is running out my Friends and none of us are certain of another day, here on earth.

If you're not 100%certain that you're ready to stand before your Creator or worse, you have the "faith" to NOT Believe in a real and living God... then I beg you to Pray this simple prayer: "God, if you're real and truly love me, please reveal yourself to me. Lord, speak to me. Open my eyes and the ears of my heart and grant me understanding". That's a prayer that even your Atheist friends can pray! If you pray this with all sincerity, God WILL speak to you, right now. Listen to His Word in the Scriptures below..

If you feel His gentle tugging upon your heart, please don't ignore it. That's The Holy Spirit of God wanting to get your attention. Jesus, Himself, wrote a letter called The Revelation and asked John The Beloved Disciple that was the closest to Him during His earthly ministry to write it down. Rev. 3: 20 says: Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

If you want to be sure of your salvation and be ready to meet God, Pray this simple prayer: "Jesus, I confess that I'm a sinner. I've messed up in so many ways and I need you. I repent of my sins and believe that you are the Christ who died on the cross for me. I accept you as my Savior and Lord of my life. I believe that you rose from the dead and are even now hearing my prayer and coming into my heart and life. I receive You now and thank You for saving me. I want to live for you from this day forward. Now, please fill me with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen!"

Still not sure you're ready? Read the following verses that will answer questions that you might have: Lynne would like you to hear this and even more importantly, they are God's personal message for YOU. There is so much more we would love to share with you. Either give Pastor Ben or Pastor Robert a call at NorthPointe Baptist Church (817) 282-1040 or me at 682-219-7201. If you prefer, send me an email(gene.ifs@gmail.com). It will be our highest honor to hear back from you and...I know that it will be Lynne's greatest answer to prayer for your life.

For those who have made a confession of faith in times past but have allowed "life" to get in the way and dampen the flame and darken the light that once shone brightly within, I have Good News for You: and it's directly from God: " Behold, Now is the acceptable time, Now is the Day of (YOUR) salvation."

Don't wait another moment. None of us has the assurance of another day, to get our affairs in order and reconcile any differences with friends, spouses, Mother/Father relatives or coworkers. See the following Words of James the Apostle and half-brother of Jesus concerning...

Boasting About Tomorrow James 4:

13 Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”

Listen to Paul the Apostle in

2 Corinthians 6 New King James Version

6 We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Paul the Apostle writes in Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come Romans 8:39 (KJV) nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Why not renew your commitment and confess that you've fallen short and missed the target God has for your life? He already knows Everything about you and gave His life for you. He has already dealt with the sins of your and my life when He left his glory and throne in Heaven to take upon Himself the form/body of a man. He lived a perfect life and then allowed sinful men to spit in his face, whip his back with the infamous, lead-tipped whip; they then drove spikes into his hands and feet, and thrust a spear into His side, just to make sure He was really dead! After three days in a tomb, guarded by Roman soldiers, God the Father raised Him from the dead and Jesus ascended to heaven to make atonement for you and me. Why? Because He loves you and wants to spend Eternity with you. It's not His will that any of you should perish. God has made a way for You. But Only You can determine where you will spend eternity. God gives to all, a free will to choose eternal life or eternal damnation.

It's not too late! God is not done with you, or you wouldn't be reading this! No matter what you may have done or are involved in, if you can still "fog a mirror" with your breath, God wants to be your Best Friend, Savior & Lord, and walk with you each day, granting Strength, Peace within, Hope, Confidence & Wisdom for each new day. Because He Lives, you, too, can face tomorrow and have the assurance that you will spend eternity with Christ and all of His Saints, including your friend, Lynne Laurenzo.

Today, You get to exercise your free will to either Accept Christ's gift of salvation & eternal life or Reject Him and damn yourself to a dreadful, dark and eternal, solitary confinement, without pain pills or any other substance to dull the pain. God doesn't damn anyone. Look back to John 3:17. Don't believe the nonsense that people joke about having a lot of friends with them, there in Hell. They're just ignorant of the Truth of God's Word. Yes, all unbelievers will be there but there will be no interaction between the self-imposed prisoners. Jesus tells us the truth about a real Hell to shun: Listen to the truth that Jesus Himself shared in the following Parable

The Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:

19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and [h]fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with [i]the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ”

The Parable of the Tares Explained Matthew 13: 36-42

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Jesus tells the Future for all who Accept Him and Choose Life: It's up to you... Lynne and I want to spend eternity with you and so does our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Father who is in Heaven. Thank you for your anticipated Memorial attendance and patience in reading this rather lengthy Tribute and Testimony of the life of Lynne Laurenzo.

May God bless each and everyone who hears/reads this. My family and I thank you for your friendship with our Mom, Grammy Lynne, and GG Ma and we wish for All of you a Very, Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Sincerely,

Gene Laurenzo & Family

One last word re. a Memorial Service: Given the busy days from now through year end, we plan to have a Memorial Service at NorthPointe Baptist Church (147 E Hurst Blvd, Hurst, TX 76053,) on Saturday, January 24th. Time to be announced. Please keep your calendar clear and be watching for our confirmation of the time. We look forward to seeing many of you. Now, may our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ fill you with

Love, Joy, Peace & Hope.

Sincerely, Gene Laurenzo & Family

The following are just a few verses, from Scripture, that give us reason for Joy in the midst of sorrow and Hope for our future despite all the wickedness and hatred that we see all around us and throughout the world.

Concerning Believers Who Have Died & Where They Are

I Thessalonians 4: 13-14

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

John 3:1-17

New King James Version

The New Birth- Jesus explains to a religious leader as to how we can have the assurance of eternal life with Christ and enjoy freedom from fear of death and eternal damnation in hell.

1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, we speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man [b]who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should [c]not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

How Can We Know For Certain? Jesus gives the Answer through John the Beloved. 1 John 5: 11-13

11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

Jesus comforts His Followers as He tells them of His upcoming crucifixion and departure from earth to Heaven. He tells us not to be afraid and shares that He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. He refutes the premise that there are many different ways to gain eternal life and shun Hell. Scripture tells us to let God's word be true and every man a liar. In short, Jesus tells us that Christianity has the Only Answer and He Himself declares unequivocally that He, Jesus Christ, is The Only Way, The Truth and The Life. He doesn't say He is a way or some of the truth or part of life, but rather He speaks in Absolute terms. Elsewhere in Scripture, God says that Whosoever will may come to Him and experience everlasting life. Whosoever includes you and me. Christianity is Not exclusive but rather inclusive as depicted in this one word... Whosoever... That term is used in several Scriptures including John 3:15 & 16;John 11;26; John 12:46; Acts 2:21;Romans 9:33; Romans 10:11 and 10:13; 1 John 4:15; 1 John 5:1;2 John 1:9; Revelation 22:17.

John 14: 1-6

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Acts 16:31

... “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..

Romans 10:9 New Living Translation

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Jesus has His Servant John write this final Good News Chapter About The End of Time

The River of Life Revelation 22: 1-21

22 1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

The Time Is Near

6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the [b]holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. 7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” 8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 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.”

Jesus Testifies to the Churches

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” 14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. 16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A Warning

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I Am Coming Quickly

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
