Have any of the seals been opened? Are we the last generation? When will Yahshua return? Where are we in end time prophecy?
I will anwer these questions with a question.
Can you tell me when Noah Ephraim will be born? What time of day will labor start? How long will the early contractions last? What will transition be like? How long will I be pushing? What will his apgar score be? Can you put it all in a chart so I can plan?
In Revelation we see the image of birth.
(Rev 12:2) And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
The earth has been groaning as in labor, and is waiting to give birth to the kingdom. Does this come without pain? Does this come when least expected? Surely we cannot expect to bring forth a child without difficulty. We cannot know the day or hour when our baby will arrive. Some contractions make us think we are in labor when we are not. But eventually the time comes. Eventually we take on the most difficult work of our lives, and are rewarded with a beautiful baby.
(Isa 66:9) Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
The same goes for the coming of Yahshua. We are simply told to keep oil in our lamps.
(Psa 119:105) NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
We must have Scripture in our hearts, and our trust in YHVH. Our house can burn down, and our food be all destroyed, but even then we need not despair. We have YHVH, and that is all we need.
So keep oil in your lamp, and I have my birth kit ready.
Shabbat Shalom.
That's a good analogy! 🙂
