At the sound of His roar, sorrows will be no more,
When He bares His teeth, winter meets his death,
And when He shakes His mane, we shall have spring again.
-The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Revelation 21:4
Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One: I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Revelation 1:17-18
Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57
Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at dawn look to the East.
Gandalf, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
Revelation 19:11-16
"Please, Aslan," said Lucy, "What do you call soon?"
"I call all times soon," said Aslan.
Yes, I am coming soon.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:20
Death could not hold him down. He has triumphed over the grave. And one day, He will return, and spring will come again. Oh what a glorious day that will be!
