Our groom awaits!

Are we watching, preparing, and waiting? Our Day is Near!
To Him, time is merely a moment in Eternity. And while 2000 years seems so long to me; the times between Adam and Noah, Noah and Christ, and from Christ until the present are mere moments in History.

Yet, He says He will return. He used the Israelites to record His story in the Old Testament. All of those events proceeded to lead us down the aisle to that point when our groom would step into history. Wow! He stepped into history, the God of the universe, humbly as an infant. And in His mission, He proceeded to the wedding altar. He suffered and surrendered it all in order to redeem His Bride. And, then resurrected by His power, He ascended, but before He did He assured us that He would return.

And, now at the altar He waits with arms extended, with the scars exposed, He waits. His Spirit is our comfort as we walk down this last stretch of the aisle (history.) His Spirit, praise God, can give us the power and the strength to carry out His work while we watch and wait for that day when we can at last take His hand. In the twinkling of an eye, and at the sound of the trumpet; His bride will rise. All of her scars will be healed, no sins to entangle us, and without blemish we will reach that final altar and there we will be glorified.

While I always thought of that part of scripture, the Old Testament; as history, past and done, I am beginning to see the prophecy, foretold by the prophets, that is still yet to be fulfilled in this final season of History.

Though I knew it was there, it is becoming more vividly alive for me. As I re-read the prophecies and see how God fulfilled the Ancient and Messianic prophecies, I am beginning to see how the final pieces that were sequentially placed are waiting to be fulfilled.

Praise God! Our Groom awaits. Are we watching, preparing, and waiting? Our Day is Near!
