I was on a training mission to complete a flight review and IPC on this gusty windy day. Winds were 340/11G21. We were completing the last instrument approach as part of the IPC and finishing up for the day; planning to land full stop out of the ILS 6 at ABE. The distance from the runway end to the intersection with Runway 31 is not much more (possibly less than) 2;000 feet. During the approach we were given no Land and Hold Short (LAHSO) instruction; and had one been given I would have declined it as landing out of an ILS to minimums can require significant runway; very often requiring crossing Runway 31. The landing was challenging due to the gusty winds; and after landing and during rollout I was given a 'Hold Short of Runway 31 - landing traffic' instruction approximately 500 feet from Runway 31. As I looked to my right there was a King Air that rotated and was about to touch down on 31; and had we not been able to stop (or had to execute a late go-around); there could have been a serious incident. The controller clearly put himself in a bad situation and did not take steps to correct it in a timely manner.Fortunately the strong gusty winds that day allowed for a very short rollout in the Mooney and we were able to stop and make a turn prior to Runway 31; which is usually not the case when flying that approach.
Mooney pilot reported a ground conflict after landing at ABE. Reporter stated this could have developed into a dangerous situation.
