Many times
I wonder how it would have been to live in the bible days with all the
prophecy's being fulfilled. Each of the women was waiting with great
anticipation to see if they might be the chosen one, the one that would be the
mother of the Messiah. Can you imagine being Mary, and hearing the news the
angel delivered?
The only
way Mary knew what to expect was by viewing the past. She must have started
trying to learn all she could about the prophecy of the Messiah. She knew the
Savior was to be born of a virgin, he would be born in Bethlehem, and he would
save her people from their sins. She must have pondered on how this all was
going to take place.
They didn't
have the scripture lying on the coffee table, or data found on an I-Phone so
she could research and see what was going to take place. Everything she learned
was by going to the temple and listening intently to what was being taught.
Today we
are not waiting to find out who will give birth to the Messiah but there are
many things in the scripture that tell us of things that are coming in the
future.
We are
waiting for Christ to return for his bride, for the King of Kings to set up his
kingdom on this earth. The best way for us to understand what is in the future
is for us to observe the past, just as Mary and Joseph did.
The Lord
sent prophets to leave tips and hints of events so we also will wait anxiously
for his return. Are you waiting as Mary and the women of the bible did?
God may desire
to use you in a mighty way during these days we are in, just as he used Mary to
be the mother of Jesus. There are many prophecies' left in the bible to be
fulfilled. Where do you fit into his great plan?
God, who at sundry
times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the
brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than
the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day
have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to
me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith,
And let all the angels of God worship him.
(Hebrews 1:1-6)
