Bible Note: Hi Kalos, I feel that our time in history right now would be comparable to the 9 1/2 month point. That is why I am so excited to be alive today, to see the Bible coming to life in nearly every newscast and every newpaper. To answer your question about expectancy, the pregnant woman is expecting, and not at "any moment", as she is waiting for certain things to happen first, such as the calender ticking past a few more months. Jesus' parables taught to be waiting, because you do not know when He is coming, maybe early, maybe late. We don't know what the time lapse will be as the pregnant woman does, at least to a degree. So expectant, yes, but expectant for the baby to come along later. I hadn't noticed, but now that you mention it, I will not take it personally if you do not continue in this discussion. :-) With that in mind, I appreciate all the more the responses you have given me. I may add a few more short notes as I read what you have written, as I have noticed you have posted some responses. I will not think anything untoward should you not be inclined to reply. This is of course a topic of which there are differing views, and I feel that we have made a good showing towards presenting a couple of them, with some of the difficulties involved depending on what one may think. And again, God bless you my brother! Love in Christ, Mark |
