I am struck by the great irony of the moment. Right now, as you may know, I am convinced we are in the momentous season of fulfillment of a vast set of prophesies in the Bible, at one of the very most pivotal moments in all history. Around me, many people are focused upon the symbols of these realities instead of the realities themselves, engaged in the practices relating to what amounts to rehearsals. (Colossians 2:16-17) I'm not at all being critical or condemning about this activity, but just observing what must happen in just this way.

As part of the Passover, actually, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, people remove leaven from the house. This is going on right now. Leaven represents sin. As the Bridegroom is coming for an unleavened Bride, it is time to remove sin from the house, Bride candidates.
