The question always in this book is: are you ready? He is coming. John Phillips writes, "One of the most stirring passages in English history tells of the conquests and crusades of Richard I, Richard the Lionhearted. While Richard was away trouncing Saladin(?), his kingdom fell on bad times. His sly and graceless brother John usurped all the prerogatives of the king and misused the realm. The people of England suffered longing for the return of their king and praying that it might be very soon. Then one day Richard came. He landed in England and marched straight for his throne. Around that glittering coming many
tales are told woven into the legends of England, one of them is the story
of Robin Hood. John's castles tumbled like nine pins, great Richard laid
claim to his throne and none dare stand in his path. The people shouted
their delight, they rang peel after peel on the bells, the lion was back and
they cried, `Long live the king.'"And one day a King far greater than Richard will lay claim to a realm far greater than England. And those who have abused the earth in His absence, and those who have seized His domains and mismanaged His world will all be swept aside. And only those who love Him and bow the knee to His sovereignty will participate in His Kingdom." End quote.
