Matthew 24:36
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
of heaven, but my Father only.”
O what a promise we have from our Lord that He will return
for us one day, the day appointed by our Heavenly Father!!! How different would
our life be if we knew exactly the day He was to return for His Bride? We are
commanded to work until He comes. We are given the example of how a bride is to
be about her business of preparing before her bridegroom comes to take her away
to the wedding. So are we to be about our Father's business before He sends His
Son. In the old traditions of the Jewish faith, the bride nor the bridegroom
knew the day the father of the bridegroom had set aside as the day he would
tell his son “go”.
Today we see and hear of many false preachers teaching of a
certain day or year or month. Yet our Lord says “no man, not the angels of heaven
but my Father only.” know the day or the hour. We should not even concern
ourselves with such foolishness. The Bride of Christ and her maids are
commanded to watch and work till He comes. We are given things to watch for. He
tells us in verse 37 “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.” So we know by this that when we see things in this world
getting as bad as they were in the days of Noah that we can expect our time
here to be short.
We look around us and we see happenings all over the world
and we can know He is coming soon. We don't know the day or the hour but our
hope is that it will be soon. This is the promise we have from our Heavenly
Father and from the Bridegroom His Son. And O what a promise it is!!! O what a
time that will be when our Jesus we shall see!!! When all our hopes come true
and the Bridegroom comes and calls us away to the wedding. The wedding of all
weddings!!! What a glorious time to be in the presence of our Lord!!! And if we
have been counted among the faithful and are a part of His Bride!!! O what joy
that will be!!!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
