A Glorious Day is Coming!

A Glorious Day Is Coming!

I’m not talking about a day of scientific marvels like interstellar travel or the development of a “transporter” like the one used in the Starship, Enterprise. Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon were comic book icons of my childhood, but when I grew up, I put away childish things.

I’m talking about a day when we will have new bodies that have no need to breathe oxygen. If there should ever be a purpose, or a reason for one of us to go to Mars, we can assume the form of a man on that planet instantly. After His resurrection, Yeshua walked through a door without opening it, because His body had been transformed into Spirit, the immortal image of God. He had no need for food, but He could eat all He wanted and never gain weight. That’s the way it will be with us in that day, when we are transformed; all our senses will be intact. A greater portion of God will have entered into us, making us into the immortal image of Himself in flesh.

We don’t remember it, but just before the millennial reign in the last world, Yeshua promised us eternal life in a new body if we believed His testimony and surrendered the body we had then for truth’s sake. He said, “He that saves his life shall lose it and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospel, shall save it.” We all died, believing and hoping for the rebirth each would have as babies in a new world. That’s when our names were written in the Lamb’s book of life. We were spiritually very young and had a lot to learn, but we had taken the 1^st step.

When we have entered that glorious day of rest, we will remember the days of darkness as we peered at the truth through a glass darkly. We will remember the struggle while we waited for Him to fulfill His promise. We will remember how it was when the darkness began to fade and we were able to see Elijah, which was a major step toward real unity; here was a voice we could follow. He told us if we believed his testimony (which was not his) we would never die. It had all the earmarks of a cult, but no more so than the early church. They believed in a man Who said, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.”

When the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of prophecy, began to move, He drew us together, and as we believed, we began to feel better physically; we felt younger and stronger. Sometimes we would talk all night until, finally, we began to see the revelation exactly alike in fulfillment of a prophecy in Isa. 52:8 that says, “Thy watchmen shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion.” We could see these two men God had placed with Elijah were really angels, cherubim of the real Ark of the Covenant made flesh. The power they were given far exceeded that of the Ark fashioned by Moses.

When the time came to rebuild the spiritual Jerusalem we were fired up and ready. God had provided four large planes necessary to take all of us to Tel Aviv, our temporary base while we covered Israel with the truth about “the remnant”, about her glory and her deliverance. It took 70 weeks, a little over a year to finish the job. Some of us were beaten by family members or the police and a few were killed and then resurrected in fulfillment of Matt. 10:5-23.

We spent the last week in Jerusalem with the fruits of our labors---“one of a city and two of a family”---gathered there with us. Elijah, full of the Spirit, preached and prophesied for three days before they killed him. We knew it was coming, but we also knew he would be resurrected on the 4^th day. The whole world was watching and when the earthquake split the Mount of Olives we were ready to enter the valley of the shadow of death to escape the armies that flooded into the city fulfilling Zech. 14: 1 & 2. After 3½ joyous years in the wilderness we followed the Lord into the last battle in the valley of Megiddo. We had 1,000 years to clean up the world.

That’s how we will remember it…….(At least that’s the way I see it.)
