The Swallows Are Gone

Listen from:
A large flock of swallows were congregating and evidently getting ready to leave us on their way south for the winter.
“What does that remind you of?” said a friend to me, as we watched the swallows fly off.
“It tells me that winter is not far off,” I replied.
“Yes,” he said, “and when the saved of earth are all caught up to meet the Lord in the air, when the redeemed of the Lord all gather in the skies and go off to their home in the glory, judgment will not be far off from the world.” How true!
“The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” Jeremiah 8:2020The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. (Jeremiah 8:20).
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1716For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17).
