Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Matthew 24:33-34
We know from their testimony that saints down through the centuries were convinced that the glorious return of Jesus would come in their lifetime. So, who, we must ask, did not see all the things they were supposed to see? And next, is it us who has not yet seen all these things? Reviewing Matthew 24, we can see that everyone has seen some of those things. It is not hard to see that none of us who look for our Savior have seen all of those things. Some of the things Jesus promises before His return are so far out that we can easily doubt they will ever be seen. And yet, by the Spirit we know they will be seen. So, how long then? I don't know! Hallelujah!
We wait together in faith,
Bucky
