Eternal Mourning
"Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen." (Revelation 1:7 NKJV) Mourning for sin and every act of unrighteousness, while the door of mercy is open wide, leads the soul to repentance and regeneration. Although this type of mourning appears a demonstration of weakness, unrepentant sinners will later mourn for eternal loss of their souls and their defeat of arguments against the crucified Saviour. Every unrepentant act of unrighteousness, while the Saviour waits and knocks at the door of the sinner's heart, pierces the Saviour's heart. Whereas, there is wisdom in temporal mourning by the opening of hearts unto salvation, rather than eternal mourning unto damnation.
