It is impossible to cease to write concerning the glory of the revealed, and yet to be discovered glory of the Lord. The prophetic expressions of what will be are exciting and wonderful. It the midst of a world filled with strife and turmoil there will arise a church with the glory of the Lord. The moving of the Spirit and the evidence of the visiting presence of the glory of the Lord will not be hidden from the world. In this day of electronic news reporting events are flashed around the world in a matter of seconds. Isaiah said; “The glory of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. Isa. 40:5 Simultaneously, around the world there will be those who enter into a deeper walk and life with the Lord than any others have ever known. They will hear the voice of the Spirit calling them to, “Arise shine, for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is RISEN upon thee.” Isa. 60:1 How great will the manifestation of the glory of the Lord be? “For the earth shall be filled with the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of the LORD, as the waters now cover the sea.” Hab. 2:14 Under the impact of the last day revival the earth will know of the moving of the Spirit. During the Millennium not only will there be knowledge but the earth will be FILLED with His glory. The Southern Ocean reaches a depth of 14,450 feet. Mt Rainier is 14,100 feet high. Just think of living under the constant blessing and flow of the glory of the Lord.
Another convincing factor pertaining to the Bride is the place of her refuge during the three and one half years of the great tribulation. It is termed to be a wilderness. Rev. 12:6, 14. However, hear Isaiah and his prophecy concerning the wilderness. ‚ÄúThe wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as a rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: they shall see the glory of the LORD and the Excellency of our God.‚Äù Isa. 35:1-2 It is the glory (the Spirit) of the Lord which will transport the Bride into the wilderness and as with Israel of old, in their wilderness wanderings, the glory will remain with them as their wall of protection. There will be heard in the wilderness the song of the LORD exalting His power, glory and majesty. ‚ÄúYea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD.ù Ps. 138:5 The perfect church will be in absolute spiritual and physical perfection. Her righteousness will be known by all. The presence of the glory of the LORD overwhelms all sin and sickness. The glory will lead them and will also be their rear guard. They are divinely protected. ‚ÄúThen shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward.Isa. 58:8 The Lord wants to make His glory known.
