Are the days growing longer as the time to Easter gets shorter?

Are the days growing longer as the time to Easter gets shorter?

A rhetorical question for all to ponder.  The time of our redemption is coming faster than any one can imagine.  From the moment God spoke to different prophets regarding the promise of forgiveness in totality for his wayward children, the signs of our redemption became more prominent upon each waking moment.   “After their reign, when sinners have reached their measure, There shall arise a king, imprudent and skilled in intrigue.  He shall be strong and powerful, bring about fearful ruin, and succeed in his undertaking.”  “He shall destroy peoples: his cunning shall be against the holy ones, his treacherous conduct shall succeed.  (Dn  9: 23-25).  

“But you, Bethlehem-Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah, From you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; Whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.”  “Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, And the rest of his brethren shall return to the children of Israel.”  (Mi 5: 1 - 2

These days so eloquently spoken about are here:  The very days we read about from many procrastinators that our judgment is about to be revealed in God’s Messiah.  The righteousness of Almighty God is about to take place as Jerimiah predicted:  “In Ramah is heard the sound of bitter weeping!  Racchel mourns her children, she refuses to be consoled because her children are no more.  Thus says the Lord; ease your cries of mourning, wipe the tears from your eyes.  The sorrow you have shown shall have its reward, says the Lord, they shall return from the enemy’s land.  Here is hope for your future, says the Lord:  Your sons shall return to their own borders.”   (Jer 31: 15 -17).  

“Therefore, the Lord himself will give you this sign:  The virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.”  (Is 7: 14).  

Length of days will appear to take too long, yet the time when all the above will be but a moment in time is already upon us.  Easter and the Easter Triduum before it will bring about a freedom from the tortuous realities of kings of evil to the only king of the universe; Jesus Christ, King of kings, and Lord of lords.   “For a child is born to us, a son is given us;  upon his shoulder dominion rests.  They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.  His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, From David’s throne and over his kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever.  The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.”  (Is 9: 5 - 6).

As Easter arrives, the length of days are already absorbed within the Passion of Christ; our salvation from God!
