What is this that God is going to
do? What was it that Paul said, was not worthy to be
compared? The term, "glory that shall be revealed in
us". Glory is a word used to define the presence of
God. The power and presence of God will be made known to
all that Christ and God lives in us.
There is a verse in Revelation that
speaks of this. Let me read it for you.
"BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE THEM OF
THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN, WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS, AND ARE
NOT, BUT DO LIE; BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE THEM TO COME AND
WORSHIP BEFORE THY FEET, AND TO KNOW THAT I HAVE LOVED
THEE.
BECAUSE THOU HAST KEPT THE WORD OF
MY PATIENCE, I ALSO WILL KEEP THEE FROM THE HOUR OF
TEMPTATION, WHICH SHALL COME UPON ALL THE WORLD, TO TRY
THEM THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH." -- REV 3:9-10
Here the Lord is telling us that He
will make it known that we are His. They will know that
He loved us.
Jesus used the word
"glorify" or to manifest your presence, Father.
"NOW IS MY SOUL TROUBLED; AND
WHAT SHALL I SAY? FATHER, SAVE ME FROM THIS HOUR: BUT FOR
THIS CAUSE CAME I UNTO THIS HOUR.
FATHER, GLORIFY THY NAME. THEN CAME
THERE A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, I HAVE BOTH GLORIFIED
IT, AND WILL GLORIFY IT AGAIN." -- JOHN 12:27-28
"THESE WORDS SPAKE JESUS, AND
LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO HEAVEN, AND SAID, FATHER, THE HOUR
IS COME; GLORIFY THY SON, THAT THY SON ALSO MAY GLORIFY
THEE:" -- JOHN 17:1
I must bring this message to a
close, but we are about to see the body of Christ made
one and brought into unity and sanctification and honor
our God. The new wine is going to have new bottles to be
poured into and the wine and the bottles will be
preserved.
The time is near when the Lord shall
come to be gloried in His saints.
"FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW, HE
ALSO DID PREDESTINATE TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS
SON, THAT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY
BRETHREN." -- ROM 8:29
"MOREOVER WHOM HE DID
PREDESTINATE, THEM HE ALSO CALLED: AND WHOM HE CALLED,
THEM HE ALSO JUSTIFIED: AND WHOM HE JUSTIFIED, THEM HE
ALSO GLORIFIED."
-- ROM 8:30
"AND TO YOU WHO ARE TROUBLED
REST WITH US, WHEN THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED FROM
HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY ANGELS,
IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING VENGEANCE ON
THEM THAT KNOW NOT GOD, AND THAT OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST:
WHO SHALL BE PUNISHED WITH
EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD,
AND FROM THE GLORY OF HIS POWER;
WHEN HE SHALL COME TO BE GLORIFIED
IN HIS SAINTS, AND TO BE ADMIRED IN ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE
BECAUSE OUR TESTIMONY AMONG YOU WAS BELIEVED IN THAT DAY.
WHEREFORE ALSO WE PRAY ALWAYS FOR
YOU, THAT OUR GOD WOULD COUNT YOU WORTHY OF THIS CALLING,
AND FULFIL ALL THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS, AND THE
WORK OF FAITH WITH POWER:
THAT THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST MAY BE GLORIFIED IN YOU, AND YE IN HIM, ACCORDING
TO THE GRACE OF OUR GOD AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST."
-- 2 TH 1:7-12
"NOW WE BESEECH YOU, BRETHREN,
BY THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND BY OUR
GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM,
THAT YE BE NOT SOON SHAKEN IN MIND,
OR BE TROUBLED, NEITHER BY SPIRIT, NOR BY WORD, NOR BY
LETTER AS FROM US, AS THAT THE DAY OF CHRIST IS AT
HAND."
-- 2 TH 2:1-2
"BUT WE ARE BOUND TO GIVE
THANKS ALWAY TO GOD FOR YOU, BRETHREN BELOVED OF THE
LORD, BECAUSE GOD HATH FROM THE BEGINNING CHOSEN YOU TO
SALVATION THROUGH SANCTIFICATION OF THE SPIRIT AND BELIEF
OF THE TRUTH:"
-- 2 TH 2:13
"AND I HEARD AS IT WERE THE
VOICE OF A GREAT MULTITUDE, AND AS THE VOICE OF MANY
WATERS, AND AS THE VOICE OF MIGHTY THUNDERINGS, SAYING,
ALLELUIA: FOR THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNETH.
LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE, AND GIVE
HONOUR TO HIM: FOR THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB IS COME, AND
HIS WIFE HATH MADE HERSELF READY."
-- REV 19:6-7
"BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY:
BLESSED IS HE THAT KEEPETH THE SAYINGS OF THE PROPHECY OF
THIS BOOK.
AND I JOHN SAW THESE THINGS, AND
HEARD THEM. AND WHEN I HAD HEARD AND SEEN, I FELL DOWN TO
WORSHIP BEFORE THE FEET OF THE ANGEL WHICH SHOWED ME
THESE THINGS." -- REV 22:7-8
"HE WHICH TESTIFIETH THESE
THINGS SAITH, SURELY I COME QUICKLY. AMEN. EVEN SO, COME,
LORD JESUS."
-- REV 22:20
"So shall they fear the name of
the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of
the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the
Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against
him." -- Isa 59:19
As the elect wait for the move of
God to end all things. The shorten of the days has
already been as God has brought it to just 42 months. One
of the shortest time frames of testing and tribulation.
" but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened." -- Mat 24:22
It is during this time that the
enemy - satan, will come in like a flood.
" Woe to the inhabiters of the
earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto
you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath
but a short time." -- Rev 12:12
Up to this time the devil has had
restrictions placed on him in his attack. This can be
confirmed in the following scripture.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:" -- 1 Pet 5:8
Here we see that he just cannot or
could not come against the saints unless they gave him a
opening. He had to about seeking whom he MAY devour.
