Peace in Christ.
When His life is made manifest in our mortal flesh, then we appear with Him in glory.
We receive the promise of His presence….and with His presence, we shine His light to the people of the outside world who are sitting in deep darkness (the “west”).
They will then see the Light of Christ shine through us. The blind shall see the light that they had not seen before as the man-based churches were not shining His glory light to them previously.
It will be as the lightening that comes out of the “east”…the rising of light within our hearts…..and shines unto the “west”….the place where the sun had set and is darkened. The people of the outside world are in the “west” (the dark place where the sun had gone down) and we, His people, are the “east.”
Mat 24:27
(27) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming (Greek: “parousia” = PRESENCE) of the Son of man be.
Isa 45:5-6
(5) I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
(6) That they may know from the rising of the sun (the east), and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
The lightning from His presence ….that will be made manifest in our mortal bodies in this earth (“under Heaven”)…. shines to the “other” ….the other person who is sitting in deep darkness.
Luke 17:24-25
(24) For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one under heaven, shineth unto the other under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
But as our Lord first suffered many things and was rejected by “this generation” in order to be raised to glory….we also must first suffer with Him (being made partakers of His sufferings) and also be rejected by “this generation” (the unbelievers in the man-based churches) before we are to receive His glory so that we may then shine His light to the people of the outside world who are sitting in darkness….the “west.”
(25) But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
“This generation” shares certain attributes. They curse their father and does not bless their mother. This is in a teacher/pupil capacity. They do not hear His Word of Truth as spoken by those who were appointed overseers of them. They reject what they have to say to them and behave badly towards them.
Pro 30:11-14 KJV
(11) There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
The unbelievers in the man-based churches will think of themselves as “clean” in their own eyes.
They will stay in their congregations and will not depart from them which would purify them.
They will stay put in their churches because of unbelief in the Word of Truth that they will hear. They become the evil and “adulterous” generation who will not depart their unclean gatherings. They commit “fornication” by continuing to sit together in their unclean congregations.....they are not washed from their filthiness.
(12) There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
(13) There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
(14) There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
Before we shine to the people of the outside world,(the west), first we must suffer many things by “this generation” who will persecute us for believing and leaving their churches. They will reject His words and us who will believe in them and behave badly towards us. They will persecute us and label us as “evil doers” for leaving them.
Before we shine with His glory to the people of the outside world, we are made partakers of Christ’s sufferings (as the unbelievers in the man-based churches will persecute us) so that when His glory shall be revealed, we may be glad also with exceeding joy as our souls were once put in great tribulation by those we had left behind..
1Pe 4:12-14 KJV
(12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
(13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
(14) If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
It will be the trial of our faith as those we leave behind in the man-based churches will persecute us in their unbelief of the Word of Truth that we will receive in faith.
It will be tried with “fire” so that we might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ whose presence shall be made manifest in our mortal flesh in this earth so that we might shine His light to the people of the outside world (the west) who will then see His light (and believe) and praise God above.
1Pe 1:6-7 KJV
(6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
We are not to be terrified by the persecutions by the unbelieving man-based churches which is an evident sign of their perdition but to us our salvation. They will experience the “fire” of the second death as they will die in their sins without His mercy….as no sacrifice shall be available to them any longer.
It is given to us in the behalf of Christ not only to believe on Him but also to suffer for His sake. Before we are to shine as lightning to the people of the outside world, we must "suffer many things" on His behalf. We must "bear His reproach."
Php 1:28-29 KJV
(28) And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
(29) For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Heb 13:13 KJV
(13) Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear (in our mortal body), then we shall also appear with Him in glory. Then the people of the outside world shall see His glory by looking at us.
Col 3:3-4 KJV
(3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
(4) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
When we leave the man-based churches ( our church family who will not believe in the Word of Truth when they will hear it) for His sake and the gospel’s, we shall receive persecutions by them.
Mar 10:28-30 KJV
(28) Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
(29) And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
Those who will partake of His sufferings will also be made partakers of His glory. We shall receive much more.
(30) But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
When He appears in us, we are then “married” with Him…we are the bride.
We receive the promise of His presence in our mortal bodies. The bride readies herself (by mortifying our members which are upon the earth) for this great event to happen: His appearance in our mortal flesh. His glory is revealed through us. We do not return evil for those who will persecute us in evil.
Col 3:5-6 KJV
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
We are to receive the promise….the promise of His presence in our mortal bodies NOW in this mortal life.
His life shall be made manifest in our mortal flesh ( 2nd Corinthians 4:11 ) so that a “great multitude” of the people of the outside world shall see His light through us and believe.
Heb 10:36-37
(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
For yet a little while, He that IS COMING (now) shall arrive and will “not tarry”…that is, NOT DELAY.
The man-based churches are all preaching that He is delaying His coming in the spirit of error and not of the spirit of the Truth. We die while we await His coming if we listen to them. According to their “understanding,” Jesus delays His coming. This is an error in ignorance of the Truth.
(37) For yet a little while, and he that shall come (IS COMING) will come (ARRIVE) , and will not tarry (NOT DELAY).
This is why the unbelievers who will hear this (among the man-based churches) will persecute those who will preach it: they will continue to think that their Lord DELAYS HIS COMING. They will react with evil towards those who will preach it and those who will believe it.
Luk 12:45 KJV
(45) But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
“Surely I come quickly”…that is, He comes WITHOUT DELAY. And we are to be like John and affirm this: “Even so (an affirmation of this Truth), come Lord Jesus.”
Rev 22:20
(20) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly (without delay). Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The bride = those who have manifested the life of Jesus in their mortal flesh…being “married” so-to-speak with Him.
The Spirit and the bride preaches….lays forth the discourse…that the Lord comes WITHOUT DELAY.
The Spirit and the bride “say” (Greek: “legō” - properly to “lay” forth, that is, (figuratively) relate (in words [usually of systematic or set discourse) come.
And let him that HEARS this discourse that is preached by the Spirit and bride affirm this by saying (different Greek word here: epō) come.
And let him that is athirst come and whosoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
The living water flows from the Spirit and the bride towards them: His people and the people of the outside world.
Rev 22:17
(17) And the Spirit and the bride say (lego), Come. And let him that heareth say (epo), Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
When His life is made manifest in our mortal flesh, then we appear with Him in glory.

Mat 24:27
(27) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming (Greek: “parousia” = PRESENCE) of the Son of man be.
Isa 45:5-6

(6) That they may know from the rising of the sun (the east), and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
The lightning from His presence ….that will be made manifest in our mortal bodies in this earth (“under Heaven”)…. shines to the “other” ….the other person who is sitting in deep darkness.

But as our Lord first suffered many things and was rejected by “this generation” in order to be raised to glory….we also must first suffer with Him (being made partakers of His sufferings) and also be rejected by “this generation” (the unbelievers in the man-based churches) before we are to receive His glory so that we may then shine His light to the people of the outside world who are sitting in darkness….the “west.”
