Salluz
Aspiring Man of God
Not to nitpick but that could be a poetical spring as much as a literal spring. (So I'm not going to be disappointed if we don't go home this spring). Spring is after all the time when new life begins and what could better describe our going home as the beginning of new life. Spring as it were.
Having said that I do like the thought of the Lord coming for us in spring. Spring is my favourite season. Not too hot, not too cold and bursting with life as the days lengthen.
Knowing God, why could it not be both? My understanding of prophetic types in the old testament is that they were literal events but with metaphoric/prophetic significance. Same thing, I think it would be consistent to have it both literally and metaphorically be spring. Although maybe I'm just saying that because it's almost spring now ask me again in the fall
