Ezekiel 12
THE DAY WILL COME
The same sort of saying is heard again today. We have been waiting for the return of Jesus. One of the signs that shows us that Jesus is coming soon has been the return of the Jews to the land of Israel. Another sign is that Jerusalem is now the capital of Israel. 1948 and 1967 were significant dates as far as those events were concerned.
But here we are in 2024 and still waiting. It has now been 76 and 57 years since those signs were fulfilled. It seems like a long time. It’s no wonder people – even believers – are starting to repeat the words of the Jews about God’s prophecies of long ago. They had a saying that went, “The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing” (Ezekiel 12 v 22 ESV).
We might not hear exactly the same words, but we still hear doubts about Christ returning, ignited by the fact that we have waited so long. But when the Jews started to complain about God’s timing and to express their doubt, God replied, saying, “I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.’ But say to them, The days are near, and the fulfilment of every vision ... It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.” (v 23, 25).
Don’t lose faith. Jesus will return. Be ready.
May our faith grow stronger each day.
With love in our Lord,
Robert
