The Hidden Glory Revealed
St Luke 24:16
This poem encapsulates a significant point on the journey to Emmaus. Two of Yeshua's disciples were departing from Jerusalem, engulfed in sorrow and perplexity following the crucifixion. The Messiah approached and accompanied them, although "their eyes were restrained." Divine constraint prevented their immediate recognition of Him.
What is the rationale behind the rising Messiah concealing His identity? The text indicates a pattern: enlightenment is attained by the Word. While walking with them, He elucidated the Scriptures, commencing with Moses and extending through all the prophets. It was only subsequently, during the breaking of bread, that their eyes were unveiled.
This addresses us immediately in this late hour. Numerous individuals are departing from Jerusalem, symbolically renouncing hope, disillusioned by their expectations of the Messiah's actions. Nevertheless, Yeshua continues to accompany them. He approaches during times of despair, however is frequently unrecognized until the Word is accurately interpreted and the covenant is restored.
Messianic Christians must recognize the resurrected King not by superficial appearances or preconceived notions, but through the prophetic continuity of the Torah and the Ruach haKodesh illuminating the Scriptures. In this era of obscured truths and deceptive leaders, the authentic Yeshua is recognized in the sharing of bread—specifically, via the disclosure of covenant communion and prophetic insight.
The concealment was not a lack; it was a preparation for disclosure. This remains applicable now. If He appears concealed, it is not due to distance, but rather because He anticipates the designated moment to unveil our perception.
Divine Concealment: Occasionally, the Lord obscures His presence to intensify our yearning for truth.
The Messiah is revealed through the proper interpretation of Moses and the Prophets in Scripture.
Covenant Fellowship: Perception is enhanced upon the renewal of the covenant through worship, communion, and obedience
Messianic Anticipation: Illusory aspirations obscure our vision. The authentic Messiah is disclosed according to His conditions, not ours
Prophetic Urgency: We are experiencing a period akin to the journey to Emmaus. Numerous individuals have despaired, although Yeshua is close at hand.
May today serve as a pivotal moment. Request the Holy Spirit to lift the veil. Study the Torah and the Prophets not merely for knowledge, but to discover the Messiah who accompanies you,
