Commentary on James 5:7
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be patient (makrothymēsate, μακροθυμήσατε) until the Lord's coming. James uses the farmer waiting for early and latter rain as metaphor for persevering hope.Reformed eschatology nurtures patience by fixing eyes on Christ's return. Like farmers trust seasonal rains, believers trust the Lord's timing.
