of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;
not knowing that the goodness of God

But's time to believe in both.
Here's why.

we make him a liar,
and his word is not in us.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.

for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
