Awaiting the Return: The Yearning for the Messiah in Averly Morillo's Song
Averly Morillo's song 'MESÍAS' is a lyrical expression of Christian longing for the return of Jesus Christ, known as the Second Coming. The lyrics reflect spiritual preparation, where 'Mi templo' symbolizes the believer's heart or soul, prepared as a holy place to receive the Lord. The 'lámpara encendida' recalls the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13, where the lit lamps symbolize readiness and vigilance for the bridegroom's arrival, metaphorically representing Christ.
The chorus 'Ven, ven, ven, ven, ven / Mesías ven' is a direct and repetitive plea for the Messiah's coming, echoing the prayer 'Maranatha', which in Aramaic means 'Come, Lord'. The song also mentions that 'Todo ojo le verá', alluding to Revelation 1:7, which prophesies that at Christ's return, every eye will see Him. The 'creación pidiendo está' can be interpreted as nature and humanity yearning for the promised restoration with the coming of the King of kings.
'Mesías' is a call to reflection and vigilance, encouraging listeners to remain spiritually prepared for the moment of the Second Coming. Averly Morillo uses the song to convey a message of hope and anticipation, central elements in the Christian faith, and to remind believers of the promise of redemption and salvation accompanying Jesus' return.
