Peace in Christ.
Again….again….again, when we keep the dying of the Lord Jesus in our mortal bodies (the keeping of His daily sacrifice,) then the life also of Jesus shall be made manifest in our mortal bodies…our mortal flesh.
This manifestation of His life in our mortal flesh is the revealing of the Son of man to the people of the outside world so that they may see Him through us and believe. Not all will …but a “great multitude” will see and believe and be saved.
2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(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.
This is the light that we shine to them…the revealing of His life in our mortal flesh to them.
Isa 60:1-4 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
The people of the outside world are in darkness….thick darkness. They are in the "night". But the LORD shall arise upon us and His glory shall be SEEN upon us.
(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.
They will come to that light.
(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
They shall GATHER themselves together and come to us. Your “sons” shall come from far…
(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.
We are to inherit the promises made to Abram….a “father” of nations. The “sons” and “daughters” are the nations that come to us.
Gen 17:3-5 KJV
(3) And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
(4) As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
(5) Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
“In that NIGHT”…in the thick darkness of the people of the outside world…one shall be “taken”…that is RECEIVED unto God…and the other left (forsaken.)
The verses of Luke 17:34-37 deal with the people of the outside world who are in deep darkness. They are not people of the churches. They do not know God whatsoever. They are in the "night"
They will see His glory light upon us “in that night” and one will be received and the other rejected.
Luk 17:34-37
(34) I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
(35) Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
(36) Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Where are those who are received to Him going?
Wheresoever the body (Greek: soma – sound body), there the eagles will be gathered together.
Wherever the living body of Christ is…where the Son of man is being manifested, there the eagles (who will SEE with their eyes the living body) be gathered together. They will come to the light shining in us.
These (the eagles) are the people of the outside world who will see the light shining in us….the living body…and will gather themselves and come to us.
(37) And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
But the unbelievers in the man-based churches will continue on as usual while the Son of man IS BEING revealed to the people of the outside world. This manifestation will be ongoing.
While the people of the outside world see the light and gather themselves to us who are shining His light to them, the man-based churches will continue on as usual…oblivious to what is happening…UNTIL they see the Son of man coming upon the clouds….clouds of people…coming with power and glory. The “flood” of people come and take them away in judgment for their unbelief.
Luk 17:26-30 KJV
(26) And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
(27) They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
(28) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
(29) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Thus it shall be in the day when the Son of man IS BEING revealed. "Is being = present tense, continuous. These things happen while we are revealing Him to the people of the outside world.
(30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is (BEING) revealed.
