At the Midnight Cry

Hi Friends,

When Abraham’s servant, Eliezer went to get a bride for Isaac, he went representing the Holy Spirit.  As he sat out to go find her, he loaded down his camels with riches and wealth for the beautiful bride.  Once   Eliezer met the woman that was to be Isaac's bride, he begin to give her gifts.  When he spoke with her, she invited him to stay the night with her family.  The first thing Eliezer told them was his master is wealthy and there are great riches where this came from.

Abraham represents God the Father in this story.  Try to picture it:  Eliezer, like the Holy Spirit, is getting the Bride ready (who is The Church) for the Father's Son, Jesus Christ.  He is releasing gifts to the bride and he’s saying,  "Arise my love! It’s time to come away."

" ¹ "Arise, shine, for your light has come,
       and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
 ² See, darkness covers the earth
       and thick darkness is over the peoples,
       but the LORD rises upon you
       and his glory appears over you. Isa.60: 1-2

At midnight, a cry was heard.... "behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!"  Then all of those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. Five of the virgins' lamps were shining bright and five of the virgins' lamps were about to go out.  Matthew 25

Right at the midnight cry... behold the bridegroom is coming.... is when they realized the condition of their lamps.  Five virgins were ready when the bridegroom came and they went in with Him to the wedding, but five were left behind.

The trumpet of God is about to sound to catch His bride away!  Don’t wait till you hear the sound of the trumpet to realize the spiritual condition you're in………then it will be to late!
