<p>12:35 <i>Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning</i>- <br />Luke 12:35-39 speaks of the Master coming at night and then sharing the Passover meal with those who are &quot;watching&quot;.&nbsp; Israel were told to 'watch' throughout that first Passover night (Ex. 12:42 RV mg.), eating the meal with loins girded.&nbsp;Our Lord matches this with &quot;let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning&quot;, referring to the virgins parable.&nbsp;Israel eating that meal together, huddled around the slain lamb, the oil burning lamps revealing their tense faces, is therefore a picture of what the new Israel should be like just prior to their deliverance.</p>
