Mystery

Those who reverence the name of the LORD will see and participate in His glory. We find here just a glimpse of that glorious church in the end of the age which will become the Bride of Christ,. The sun like glory of the Lord will be both, upon her and in her. When she gives birth to the man child the enemy, Satan will attempt to destroy her by flooding after her to overtake, overwhelm and destroy her. Rev. 12:15-16 However the Spirit of the LORD will put him to flight and defeat his purposes. Isa. 59:19 The combination of west and sun rising, or east, conveys the thought of the victorious and all conquering LORD. There is none other like Him in all of the universe. Isa. 45:6 His name is great and to be exalted among the heathen, the Gentiles will bring proper offerings unto the LORD. Mal. 1:11 The good news of the gospel is opened for all to hear and to receive all of its benefits.

The covenant of the Redeemer involves the anointing of the Spirit and the Word of the Lord in their mouth. These two spiritual elements are of extreme necessity to a last day revival and the perfecting of the Bride. The promise is to His seed, from henceforth and forever more. How long is for ever? According to Strong’s it is eternal, perpetual and everlasting, among other meanings. The promise is to a seed, a line of descendents, a lineage, which is eternal. Isa. 59:21 Consider the promise of a continuing seed reaching even to the new earth and the new heavens. The promises of the Lord are not in vain. He will accomplish all of His eternal goals. Isa. 66:22. 

David was a type of the Lord Jesus. As a matter of fact it is Jesus who will occupy the throne of David. It is to be a kingdom which is established with judgment and justice, henceforth, even for evermore. The same thought of that which is eternal is found here. Of the throne of the Lord Jesus {David) there will be no cessation. That kingdom will continuously, greatly increase. His throne is everlasting. Of its increase there will be no end. His kingdom is destined to grow and increase in the new heavens and the new earth. The promise of the Lord to David is an enduring seed, a seed which is eternal, and a throne as the days of heaven. Seed speaks of planting, with the ultimate harvest. It is a process that is constantly repeated. Ps. 89:29 The same promise of continued increase that was given to Abraham was also given to David by the Lord. His rule would be over a people as numerous as the stars of the heavens. A promise not yet accomplished. 1 Chron. 27:23.
