Genesis 4 - almost from the beginning there were those that have been anxiously awaiting the Coming of Messiah.
From the fall of man and God’s promise of a Righteous Seed we have looked, and waited
· Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. KJV
Throughout history mankind has tried to “substitute” good things for God Things and it never works. We are still waiting the Coming of The King!
· Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. KJV
Wood was continually laid upon the fire of Hope when the Angel shared the Good News - in this same manner He shall come again - we have looked forward to His return.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. KJV
· Some are waiting on His return – some are just waiting for things to get better
· Some have tired of waiting and written His Return off as fairy tale
· Some have twisted and bent The Scripture until it is unrecognizable and there is no longer room for His Story or Faith to Believe He is coming again
· Some . . . SOME are still watching. Some are still waiting.
o Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. KJV
§ They believed
§ They came
§ They worshiped
§ They troubled
They were looking for Him – and they found Him
· Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: KJV
Just as those where looking were drawn so shall we too be drawn.
Parable of the 10 virgins
- Do you have enough oil for today only or can you make it to tomorrow too?
· Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. KJV
