Ashwin's main point is that despite the apparent delay, Christians must hold fast to the promise of Jesus's second coming, trust in God's purposes for this delay, and eagerly await his return. He emphasizes that the delay is due to God's patience, providing more opportunity for repentance. Ashwin connects this with Noah's story, noting Noah trusted in the unseen promise of a flood. He urged listeners to live holy and godly lives, hastening Jesus' return by leading others to repentance and being preachers of righteousness in a sinful world, anticipating the fulfillment of God's promise and the establishment of His kingdom. He contrasted the first Advent with the second, highlighting the King of Kings' conquering return described in Revelation.
