Manifest Sons & Daughters of God.

[joshua 1 9]

There is a lot of talk now about the Manifest Sons & Daughters of God. This is actually a quote from Paul: "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the Sons of God." (Romans 8:19) They change Sons of God to Sons & Daughters of God. The reason Paul uses the word: "Sons" is because this passage talks about how we are joint heirs with Christ. The birthright passes from the Father to the Sons, so that is why we see a masculine word here for the children of God. "We know that when He appears, we will be like Him," (1JOHN1:2)

The ways of the world have been infiltrating the church for decades now. It's a shame, but overbearing and macho masculinity is not the answer either. Leave God's word alone, you "progressives" who distort God's word! (Progressive: well-intentioned individual who wants to turn God's order on its head).

This does not answer the question. What is the difference between the Church and the Manifest Sons of God? How do we know when the Church age has ended and the Kingdom Age or the 1,000 year reign of Christ has begun?

It will be extremely obvious. the 1,000 year reign will see the restoration creation to it's pre-fall state. There will be no predators. People will be much healthier.

Isaiah 11:6 ""The wolf will live with the lamb; the leopard will lie down with the young goat. The calf and the lion will graze together, and a little child will lead them."

Compare this with Romans 8:19 "For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God." Even animals have been afflicted because of man's sinful nature. God will reverse that,

That literally has nothing to do with what the Apostle is talking about.

The Apostle is talking about our hope of the resurrection of the dead.

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."

The longing of all creation is the hope of redemption that is to come, when Christ returns, and the dead are raised.

The point is IF we are going to be a part of the resurrection then the resurrection power of God is already at work in us.
