Prince Jorge, the new heir of England’ thrown, was born a week ago and the entire world was at their feet watching and waiting for the announcement. People came from all parts of the world to see if they can get a glimpse at the new king to be. In fact, an older couple sailed for many days with their modified yacht; that was tailored towards the infant, to see the new prince in England. The world warmly embraced the new prince awaiting his kingdom to someday be established. The people of God waited also for their savior and king; the kingdom of God, to come in flesh dressed with all royalty riding on a white horse lavished with gold and riches. The problem was that they missed the sighting. He came but not how they expected him. The gospels announce the Messiah to be born in a stable with the lowest of the lowest.
Luke 17:20-22
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
The kingdom of God crept upon them without anyone expecting it; it was already within them. God’s unexpected time comes without announcement. He does not need trumpets, horns and whistles to make an entry (V.24). God comes at his appointed time and leaves just as fast. So sometimes while we are waiting for him he comes and goes in that one instance of distraction. Riches, glamour, fads and life are today’s distraction. Keeping an eye open to see God move can be lonesome (Ps. 102:7), but the rewards for it are exhilarating and a blessing (Pr. 8:34).
Today’s past time and entertainment rage it is easily to miss out on the day’s of His Majesty. The day’s of the Son of Man are these last days when drinking (67% of the population; 15% increase from the highest from last year), getting married and giving in marriage (gay marriage is on the rise 13 states) is on an increase like it was in the days of Noah and Lot. These days are crucial to the end times. Noah entering into the ark and Lot exiting Sodom were symbolic to the church being raptured or taken out (V.26-30). The manifestation of Jesus Christ is at hand. Soon Jesus Christ will reveal himself in his coming and those who await his arrival will see him (Jh14:21). So, there is a day for all of us that Jesus makes himself real and certifies that he is with us which is known as “his day”, and there is are those days known as “the days of the Son of man” where prosperity and entertainment will be the main focus, kind of like todays, and finally the day when “the Son of man be revealed”.
