Peace in Christ.
With our open face we are to behold as in a “glass” or mirror the glory of the Lord, we are to reflect His glory to those who are on the outside world (who are in deep darkness) who shall see our face that cannot be hid (unlike Moses who put a vail upon his face to hide it).
They shall see His glory shining in our face…the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ that we reflect/shine towards them.
2Co 3:17-18 KJV
(17) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
(18) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
For the “earth” became without form (without the form of Christ) and void (void of the knowledge of the glory of God.)
Darkness is upon the face of the deep as the people on the outside are in deep spiritual darkness. They cannot see the face of Christ (the form of Christ)….and they are void of the knowledge of the glory of God.
Our sins have hid His face from us so that the outside people of this world (the “earth”) cannot see His glory nor the form of Christ in us. We are not reflecting His light to them that are in darkness...deep spiritual darkness.
Isa 59:2 KJV
(2) But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
The earth became without form and void. But the Spirit of God moves upon the FACE of the waters….and God said “let there be light.” God is light. He gives us His knowledge.
We…His people…with open face are then to reflect the light of the knowledge of the glory of God to them because darkness is upon the face of the deep.
Gen 1:1-4 KJV
(1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God SAW the light that it was good.
The people of the outside world (the “earth”) will also SEE the light shining in us as we shall shine like the sun in the kingdom of the Father. The believers (who will then see that the light is good) shall then be divided from the unbelievers (the darkness that will not comprehend it).
(4) And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
The “earth” is currently in “gross darkness”….darkness is upon the face of the deep ...as there is no light of Christ shining to them from His people.
We must “arise” and “shine” to them. We must arise out of the dead man-based churches so that we may shine.
Isa 60:1-4 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
The outside world (the earth) shall then SEE His glory upon us….and then they shall come to our light. Let there be light...as darkness is upon the faces of the deep.
(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
(4) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
Everyone that will “see” the Son and believes on Him shall have an age-lasting life…and He will raise him up (keep him standing up) TO….not “at” but TO…the last day of this age.
Joh 6:40
(40) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting (age-lasting) life: and I will raise him up at (TO…TO…TO) the last day.
But we MUST first come out from among the man-based churches that are desolate of His glory. Their sins hide His face so that the outside world (the earth) is deep darkness. They cannot see His light.
Isa 52:11 KJV
(11) Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
We bear the vessels of the LORD. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. We are to GIVE the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ to others. With open face do we reflect His glory and light to them.
2Co 4:6-11 KJV
(6) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
(7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
(8) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
(9) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
His life manifests in our "earthen vessels"....in our bodies...in our flesh...so that those who are in deep darkness can see it. They shall "see" the Son of man...the manifestation of the life of Jesus in our earthen vessels as bear about the "vessels of the Lord."
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
