Not Ready!
-----

My children...why are you not ready? You have had your invitations to My banquet for many days now. You have known that this time would come...but you are not ready!

Where are your fine clothes? Why are you standing there in tatters? Why have you not bathed yourselves in fresh waters and anointed yourselves with fresh oils? Your appearance is not becoming to the glory I have given you!

I have indeed readied the banquet. The table is set. There are many places! Time to begin the feast is fast approaching...the food is prepared and ready to be served. Would you have it go cold?

Hurry! Take up your robes of fine linen! Bathe yourselves in My fresh waters...rub in My fragrant oils! Hurry now!! Dress yourselves quickly...allow delay no longer! Come...come quickly and take your place at My banqueting table!
