June 12, 2003 (9)SUN CLAD BECAUSE SHE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. When addressing His disciples Jesus proclaimed that they would receive the responsibility of being the true light of the Lord, to the world. Mt. 5:14 The redeemed, having been born of He who is the light, are made to be children of light, therefore shine as the light in the midst of darkness. 1 Thes. 5:5 In revealing the language of the symbol in the book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus determined the Pastors of the seven churches to be stars. Every star blazing brilliantly in the heavens is a sun. The seven churches themselves were the flames of the seven branched candlestick. The light of the glory of the Lord glowed in those who followed Him. The prophet Malachi foretold of the coming of the Lord Jesus by calling Him the SUN of righteousness, not only is He the SON of God but He is His own rights a SUN. A shinning, blazing, glowing orb of heavenly light showing forth in the darkness. He is the Son of His Father therefore it is no wonder if we find the same attributes manifest in Him as seen in the Father. Mal. 4:2 In Jesus is found the glow of the righteousness of the living God. The path which He prepared for those who are His, is similar to the rising of the sun, and the rays proceeding from between mountain tops announcing its rising. Then the full bursting forth of the glories of the dawn and the new day. Prov. 4:18
THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE WOMAN IS BEYOND DESCRIPTION. The woman is not suddenly clothed with the sun and then carried away. She will be clothed and filled with the fullness of the glory of the Lord for approximately a year. The perfection of every spiritual benefit and exercise will be known in her during that period of time. She will be in the midst of a move of the Spirit such as never has been seen in the earth. The call of the Spirit is heard calling her to arise, to be stirred and enter into the blessings of the Lord for the Bride. Isa. 60:1 Again the call is issued in Isa. 52:1 To awake, spoken twice to emphasize the importance of the command. They are to put on the garment of beauty and shine with the eternal glory of the Lord. The moment for the glory of the Lord to be manifest in them has arrived. A time of gross spiritual darkness enshrouding the earth when suddenly this woman of beauty and splendor will break forth on the scene. His glory has come and is now to be made manifest in His very own. The multitudes of the unsaved will flock to the Lord under the tremendous double, later rain of the Spirit of the Lord. She will be radiant, her heart thrilled and rejoicing in seeing the multitudes coming to the Lord. Isa. 60:2-5 The full strength of the Lord will be hers. The unrighteous, the unholy will no more be seen in her. She is now the city of purity. This is the true Holy City. The Zion of the Lord. The Spiritual, eternal city which is the everlasting Temple of the Lord Almighty. She is the New Jerusalem, the city which will glow like the Sun and have all the attributes of the Lord Himself.
