작가: Jonathan S. Rose

Topic: Second Coming
Summary: As we go forward spiritually, the Lord leads us into and through a wilderness of trial, deprivation, and affliction. Why? Because in that state we become ready to betroth ourselves to the Lord.

Ezekiel 20:33-38
33
As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:
34
and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;
35
and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
36
Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Yahweh.
37
I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
38
and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
