Default Before The Wrath (01:13:47)

When you look at the whole picture, the Galileans are really the key to understanding the why and what of the second coming of Christ.

Jesus used this illustration that they knew so intimately, over and over and over again. That you have a bride who is loved by a bridegroom, who is betrothed to this bridegroom. The bridegroom is going to make a covenant with her and then he’s going to go away.

And eventually, when they don’t know, he’s going to come back and take her to be with him where he is. This is an amazing thing. It all stems from what the Galileans understood and Jesus talked to the Galileans like they were Galileans so that they would understand what he meant when he said “this is what it’s going to be like when I return”.

Wow.
