18:3 ‘All you people of the world, you who
live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see
it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it.’
Seeing
and hearing is a theme that runs through the scriptures. Already, in Chapter 6
we have read “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but
never perceiving.’ (Isaiah 6:9) This topic is taken up in the parable of sower (Mark 4).
Seeing
and reading the signs of the times is a duty of Christians in the 21st century
just as it was for the people of Israel millennia ago. Hearing the word speak
to us in the gentle moments of the day is a privilege.
When,
after all our striving, we have attained a place of quiet attentiveness that
Word will speak to us. We must prepare for that moment with eyes and ears wide
open.
