My beloved spake, and
said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter
is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time
of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our
land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the
tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
(Song of Songs 2:10-13)
Jesus is calling his beautiful and fair bride to come away with
him… Now, that the winter is past, and the signs of spring are beginning to
appear.
We have read about the coming winter in my previous blog
entries about Mathew 24 (Here,
and here). Let us see now what Jesus has to say about the spring
that will follow that dreary and long winter:
Mathew 24:29-51
Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of
man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one
end of heaven to the other.
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even
at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all
these things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the
flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the
day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one
shall be taken, and the other left.
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord
doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what
watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered
his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as
ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his
lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed
is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.Verily I say
unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and
to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day
when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall
cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall
be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
We know that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon for his bride. Are you ready?
Stay blessed, and stay tuned,
