JESUS AND THE FOLDED NAPKIN.
I'm sure by now we know that before Jesus left the tomb, He folded the napkin that was placed around His head.
John 20:6-7
Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,
(1/6)
and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.
Apostle John was careful to record something significant they spotted in the empty tomb.
They saw the long linen cloth of Jesus thrown anyhow but...
(2/6)
The napkin that covered His head was carefully folded, put in a decent and separate place.
Our Lord's action there had strong correlation with the Jewish custom.
Everytime guests were served, it was mandatory for the servants to keep themselves out of sight.
(3/6)
When the guests finish eating, they would clean their hands and mouth with the napkin, was up and toss the napkins on the table, then the servants will know they're done and would clear the table, because in those days, the wadded napkins meant "I'm done".
On the other hand...
If the guests get up from the table, fold their napkins and lay it nicely besides their plates, it meant "I'm coming back". So the servants would clear the table.
So when Jesus folded His napkin, He was telling us all that He will come back again.
At the last marriage...
At the last marriage supper, He will wad up the napkin and toss it on the great supper table, because His bride would've finally left the world and what would be left of this earth will be destruction.
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON.
