(追記) (追記ここまで)

Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming.
The call for patience is a recurring theme in the New Testament, emphasizing endurance and steadfastness in the face of trials. The term "brothers" indicates a familial bond among believers, suggesting unity and mutual support. The "Lord's coming" refers to the anticipated return of Jesus Christ, a central tenet of Christian eschatology. This expectation of Christ's return is meant to inspire hope and perseverance. The early church lived with the imminent expectation of this event, which provided motivation for holy living and evangelism. Patience here is not passive but active, involving trust in God's timing and sovereignty.

See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—
The imagery of a farmer is a common biblical metaphor, illustrating the principles of sowing and reaping, patience, and reliance on God's provision. In an agrarian society, the farmer's dependence on the land and weather was well understood. The "precious fruit" symbolizes the valuable outcome of patient labor and faith. This can be connected to the spiritual fruit that believers are to bear, as mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23. The farmer's work is a type of Christ's work in believers, cultivating spiritual growth and maturity.

how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.
The reference to "fall and spring rains" is significant in the agricultural cycle of the ancient Near East, particularly in Israel. The fall rains, or "early rains," typically began in October or November, softening the ground for planting. The spring rains, or "latter rains," occurred in March or April, crucial for the maturation of crops. This dependence on seasonal rains underscores the necessity of patience and trust in God's provision. The rains can also be seen as a metaphor for the Holy Spirit's work in the life of a believer, bringing growth and fruitfulness. The patience of the farmer serves as an example for believers to wait on God's timing for spiritual and eschatological fulfillment.

What Does James 5:7 Mean
Be patient, then, brothers

• James addresses fellow believers, urging steady endurance rather than impulsive reaction (Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 10:36).

• Patience means:

– Refusing to grumble when wronged (James 5:9).

– Trusting God’s timing even when justice seems delayed (Romans 8:25).

– Continuing in faithful obedience and service while waiting (Colossians 1:11).

until the Lord’s coming

• The patience commanded is not indefinite resignation; it is anchored in the certain, literal return of Jesus (John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

• Knowing Christ will appear:

– Keeps hope alive during hardship (Titus 2:13).

– Promotes holy living, realizing our work will be evaluated (1 Peter 1:13-15).

– Comforts sufferers with the promise of final justice (Revelation 22:12).

See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil

• James draws a picture his readers know well: a farmer who invests labor, seed, and time, expecting a valuable crop (Mark 4:26-29).

• Spiritual parallels:

– Our prayers, acts of mercy, and proclamation of the gospel are seeds whose harvest may be unseen for a season (2 Timothy 2:6).

– God values the “fruit” produced in and through us—the character of Christ and salvation of others (Philippians 1:11).

how patient he is for the fall and spring rains

• In the biblical land, early (fall) and latter (spring) rains were essential; missing either meant crop failure (Deuteronomy 11:14; Hosea 6:3).

• The farmer cannot manipulate the weather; he waits in confidence that God will send rain at the appointed times (Jeremiah 5:24).

• Likewise, believers:

– Accept God-ordained seasons of growth and delay.

– Rely on His sovereignty rather than their own control.

– Persevere, certain the Lord will complete what He has begun (Philippians 1:6).

summary

James 5:7 calls believers to steadfast endurance, rooted in the guaranteed, bodily return of Christ. Just as a farmer willingly waits through uncontrollable seasons for a valuable harvest, Christians are to wait through trials, trusting God to send the “rains” that mature both their character and their ministry. Confidence in the Lord’s timing turns patience from passive waiting into active, hopeful perseverance (1 Corinthians 15:58).

(7) Be patient.--The third, and last, part of the Letter commences here with these exhortations towards endurance.

Therefore--i.e., because of this your deep and abiding misery, be sure God's help is nigh:--

"The darkest hour is on the verge of day."

"Out of your stony griefs" build, like Jacob of old, a house of God (Genesis 28:19), whereunto you may run and find refuge. If there be wrath laid up in store for the oppressor, great is the coming peace of the oppressed.

The husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it . . . Be ye also patient.--It becomes you, the just, to bear with the unjust till God work the end of your trial, and prove them at the same time. Again and again, through several verses (James 5:7-11), St. James repeats his advice, emphasising it with various reasons: the nearness of deliverance; the Judge standing at the gate; the example of the prophets--persecuted by men, and therefore blessed of God; the hope of those who endure--Job for example: the very faithfulness and tender mercy of the Lord, bringing all things to a perfect end. Few ideas are more startling (is a reflection of Dr. Evans) than those produced by the strange combinations in Scripture. Matters are joined there which we mostly put asunder here, speaking of them, at least, as apart. And thus we read in the Revelation (James 1:9) of the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. But all Christians are citizens of a patient kingdom; the King thereof is more patient, as He hath greater need of patience than His subjects, and He is patient, because He is strong. Impatience is a sign of weakness. God can afford to wait, for His time is eternity. And we can be strong in His strength, and wait also in patience. In so far as St. James's hearers were earthly minded, they could not learn this lesson; so often with ourselves we would have our wrong righted instantly, and to the full. Only one view of life can alter this, viz., the lifting of our gaze from earth to heaven, remembering that "the time is short" (1Corinthians 7:29). . . .

Verses 7-20. - CONCLUDING EXHORTATIONS

(1) TO PATIENCE (vers. 7-11);

(2) AGAINST SWEARING (ver. 12);

(3) TO PRACTICAL CONDUCT IN HEALTH AND IN SICKNESS (ver. 13, etc.). Verses 7-11. - Exhortation to patience. Verse 7. - Be patient therefore. In his concluding remarks St. James reverts to the point from which he started (comp. James 1:3, 4). Μακροθυμεῖν is here given a wider meaning than that which generally attaches to it. As was pointed out in the notes on James 1:3, it ordinarily refers to patience in respect of persons. Here, however, it certainly includes endurance in respect of things, so that the husbandman is said μακροθυμεῖν where we should rather have expected ὑπομενεῖν (cf. Lightfoot on Colossians 1:11). Unto the coming of the Lord (ἕως τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ Κυρίου); Vulgate, usque ad adventure Domiai. The word παρουσία ηαδ been used by our Lord himself of his return to judge, in Matthew 24:3, 27, 37, 39. It is also found in St. Paul's writings, only, however (in this sense), in Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians 2:19; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Thessalonians 2:1, 8) and 1 Corinthians 15:23. St. Peter uses it in his Second Epistle (2 Peter 1:16; 3:4, 12), as does St. John (1 John 2:28). Behold, the husbandman, etc. Consideration, exciting to patience, drawn from an example before the eyes of all. Until he receive; better, taking γή as the subject of the verb, until it receive. The early and the latter rain. Υετόν of the Received Text has the authority of A, K, L, and the Syriac Versions; א (with which agree the Coptic and Old Latin, if), καρπόν. B and the Vulgate omit the substantive altogether. In this they are followed by most critical editors (e.g. Lachmann, Tischendorf, Tregelles, Westcott and Hort), but not by the Revisers; and as the expression, πρώιμον καὶ ὄψιμον, without the substantive, is never found in the LXX., it is safer to follow A and the Syriac in retaining ὑετόν here. (For "the early and the latter rain," comp. Deuteronomy 11:14; Jeremiah 5:24; Joel 2:23; Zechariah 10:1.) "The first showers of autumn which revived the parched and thirsty soil and prepared it for the seed; and the later showers of spring which continued to refresh and forward both the ripening crops and the vernal products of the field" (Robinson, quoted in 'Dictionary of the Bible,' 2:994).
