EDIT...good men and WOMEN...we are grateful for both...
The song “Days of Elijah” by Robin Mark carries a message of hope, unity, and righteousness. Let’s delve into its meaning:
Hope and Integrity:
The song reflects the idea that we are living in special times, akin to the days of the prophet Elijah. Just as Elijah stood up for God against the prophets of Baal, we are called to be people of integrity and faith.
Elijah’s story, found in the book of Kings, portrays his isolation and loneliness in a culture that didn’t align with his beliefs. Yet, God instructed him to stand up and speak for Him.
The reference to “the days of your servant Moses” emphasizes the importance of righteousness and right living. Although we are now under grace, the moral law remains relevant. Jesus even challenged us to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees.
In our challenging world, where famine, darkness, and conflict persist, we are called to declare our faith boldly.
Anticipation of Christ’s Return:
The chorus paraphrases passages from the books of Revelation and Daniel, envisioning Christ’s return. It speaks of Him coming “riding on the clouds at the trumpet’s sound.”
The year of Jubilee, symbolized by Christ’s return, represents restoration, freedom, and celebration.
I try to play this song at least once every few Sabbaths.
