the first month, upon the end-time body of Christ, but AS <strong>THE</strong> LIGHT<br />

<strong>OF</strong> <strong>SEVEN</strong> DAYS CONCENTRATED IN ONE. Many are the figures<br />

of this coming sevenfold glory of Christ upon His people. When Jesus<br />

was on the mount of transfiguration His face shone as the sun. Saul of<br />

Tarsus, on the road to Damascus, experienced something of that<br />

brightness <strong>and</strong> was completely transformed. In the book of Revelation<br />

we read of a symbolic angel which came down from heaven <strong>and</strong> his<br />

countenance was as the sun shining in its brightness. In chapter twelve<br />

of that book we read of a woman, the Bride of Christ, clothed with the<br />

sun, having the moon under her feet. In chapter one John saw one like<br />

<strong>unto</strong> the Son of man, even Jesus, glorified in that body of sons who are<br />

conformed to His image, <strong>and</strong> of Him he witnessed, “His eyes were as a<br />

flame of fire… <strong>and</strong> His countenance was AS <strong>THE</strong> SUN SHINETH IN<br />

HIS STRENGTH” (Rev. 1:14-16). Isaiah looked forward to this day <strong>and</strong><br />

descri<strong>be</strong>d the dawning of this day of the revelation of God’s glory,<br />

saying, “Then shall THY LIGHT BREAK FORTH AS <strong>THE</strong><br />

MORNING, <strong>and</strong> thy health (restoration) shall spring forth speedily: <strong>and</strong><br />

thy righteousness shall go <strong>be</strong>fore thee; the glory of the Lord shall <strong>be</strong> thy<br />

reward” (Isa. 58:8). Solomon wrote poetically of this army of the Lord:<br />

“Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, CLEAR<br />

AS <strong>THE</strong> SUN, <strong>and</strong> terrible as an army with banners” (S. of S. 6:10)?<br />

The Church of Jesus Christ must move out of the darkness of<br />

tradition, bondage, carnality, immaturity <strong>and</strong> limitation <strong>and</strong> move into<br />

the bright light of the fullness of the glory of God. The history of the<br />

Church is a history of darkness <strong>and</strong> sorrow <strong>and</strong> bitterness. But, thank<br />

God, rays of promise are even now <strong>be</strong>ginning to break forth from the<br />

heavens, <strong>and</strong> there is a small company of apprehended ones who are<br />

even now rising up into realms of the Spirit to drink in the intoxicating<br />

freshness of the morn! To them God is witnessing that He shall bring<br />

forth a light that is sevenfold in its intensification, so that there will <strong>be</strong><br />

nothing hidden from it, <strong>and</strong> its heat <strong>and</strong> brightness will consume <strong>and</strong><br />

destroy everything that opposes. Nothing short of this will lift up this<br />

sin-cursed world out of the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of<br />

God’s dear Son.<br />
