Peace in Christ.
His people are to manifest the Son of man through their mortal bodies to the people of the outside world who are sitting in deep darkness.
We lift Him up from out of the earth when we keep His “daily” sacrifice in our mortal bodies….and this lifting up will draw all unto Him….a great multitude.
This is the “death” we are to die: to keep the dying of our Lord in our mortal bodies so that His life is made manifest in this earth thereby lifting Him up.
Joh 12:32-36 KJV
(32) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
(33) This he said, signifying what death he should die.
(34) The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
(35) Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
We who believe in the light shining within our hearts when we hear His voice (as He opens up the Scripture of Truth to our hearing ears) are to become children of light that will shine His light to the people of the outside world who are in deep darkness. They will then see the light and come to it/us.
(36) While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them
(37) But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
We shall then become children of light in this world...and the nations shall come to His/our light. There will be a “great multitude” of them coming to Him. It will start small and will progress until it is seen openly in this world. It cannot stay unnoticed as the increase will be dramatic. They will see a "cloud" of eyewitnesses praising God...which will cause a panic among the unbelievers of this world.
This drawing/dragging of the believers of this world to Him are the “clouds” of heaven. Clouds of people = a great multitude. They are the clouds of eyewitnesses who will “see” Him through us who will reveal the Son of man to their seeing eyes. They will gather to Him/us. It starts small....a trickle...and then progresses into a flood of people that can't stay unnoticed.
Mat 24:30 KJV
(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
He comes with the clouds….and every eye shall see Him. It will eventually become noticeable in this world as a "great multitude" will be gathered together to Him/us.
The unbelievers of this earth will eventually see this cumulative effect of the manifestation of His presence (through us) as the people of the outside world (those who see and believe among them) will gather with us in increasing numbers.
They will eventually become a great multitude…. “clouds” of people….the clouds of eyewitnesses …of His glory that we manifest to them. .
Rev 1:5-7 KJV
(5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
(6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
(7) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen
The unbelievers of the world will then panic when they see the Son of man coming in a “cloud” ….a great multitude of believers among the people of the outside world.
There will be “distress of nations” with perplexity...as they breathe out in a state of quandary.... when they will see a great multitude of people praising God….where they had not before. They will see the kingdom of God coming upon the earth….His government that cannot be shaken as the temporary earthly kingdoms shake at the apprehension of what is happening.
Luk 21:25-27 KJV
(25) And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
(26) Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
"then" = at that time...they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud of eyewitnesses with power and great glory (as their earthly kings shall even see Him and praise God and bring their glory to Him).
(27) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
The sea and the waves roar….that is, the people of this earth make a loud noise in their rejoicing in Him and sing His praise.
Psa 98:4 KJV
(4) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
The sea roars and the fullness thereof….the believing people of the outside earth will praise Him. The "roar" shall be heard around the world...and cause panic.
Psa 98:7-9 KJV
(7) Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
(8) Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
They will be joyful “before”….that is, to the FACES (plural) of the LORD. We manifest His “face” by reflecting Him with an “open face” to the people of the world.
(9) Before (to the FACES) the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
The LORD makes known His salvation….OPENLY SHOWS it in the “sight” of the people of the outside world (the “heathen”). All the ends of the earth shall SEE the salvation of our God. The unbelievers of this world shall panic about what they see coming upon the earth.
Psa 98:2-3 KJV
(2) The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
(3) He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
We all with "open face" shall show forth His glory to the people of the outside world. Even their kings and lords (the "mountains and the hills" shall break forth in the FACES of us into singing. They will rejoice when they will look upon our face as we manifest His glory to them.
Isa 55:12-13 KJV
(12) For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before (in the FACES) you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
(13) Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
The "cloud" shall be seen by "every eye".
And with this “cloud” of people….the myriads of His saints…He comes to execute judgment upon all….
Jud 1:14-15 KJV
(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands (MYRIADS) of his saints,
(15) To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
The unbelieving man-based churches will then be judged for all of their hard speeches that they had spoken against Him as they will not have believed Him when they heard His voice speaking to them the Word of Truth.
The unbelieving man-based churches will then see the sign of the prophet Jonah as the men of Nineveh (the people of the outside world) shall rise up in the judgment of them and condemn it. It will be a “cloud” of people that will see Him and believe. By then, it is too late for they will all be shut out from His presence.
Mat 12:39-41 KJV
(39) But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
(40) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
(41) The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
If a man loves Jesus and keeps His words that he will hear (hearing and believing in the Word of Truth that He speaks to us), Jesus and His Father will come unto him and make their abode with Him.
Joh 14:23 KJV
(23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
We are the light of the world…of the people who are sitting in deep darkness. We are the city that is set on a hill that cannot be hid.
Mat 5:14-16 KJV
(14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
(15) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
We are to shine His light before men rather than hide it so that they may see our good works and glory our Father which is in heaven. It is not the good works that give us this light as the light comes from the glory of God and the Lamb. We get their attention with the light so that they may see our good works afterwards.
(16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The “city” is lit by the glory of God and the Lamb. They make their abode with us. His glory appears over us…and the nations that are saved shall walk in the light of it.
Rev 21:22-26 KJV
(22) And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
(23) And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
The kings of this earth will bring their glory and honor into it. They will come to us. The Son of man comes with the clouds of heaven with power and great glory as the glory and honor of the nations shall be brought into it. He shall beautify the place of His sanctuary (He makes His abode in us) by the kings of the earth bringing their glory and honor into it.
(24) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
(25) And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
(26) And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
He will make the place of His feet glorious. He will beautify the place of His sanctuary…of His abode…as the glory and honor of the earth shall be brought to Him/us. We are the "city of the LORD."
Isa 60:13-14 KJV
(13) The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
The sons of the man-based churches (those that will have afflicted us and despised us) shall come bending unto us....calling us the "city of the LORD."
(14) The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
