<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Glory</strong><br />

blasting off of a rocket with three different stages. The first stage of the<br />

rocket is the conception and birth process, which is the focus of this<br />

writing.<br />

The second stage of His coming, which is the<br />

longest phase, is the growth of God’s<br />

government (manchild) on the earth. This<br />

second stage can be compared to the 30 years<br />

before Jesus started His ministry where He was<br />

growing in spiritual maturity. The third and<br />

final stage of this rocket is the 3 ½ year<br />

ministry of the “two witnesses” discussed in<br />

Revelation chapter 11 and can be compared to<br />

Jesus’ 3 ½ year ministry. These final two<br />

stages will destroy the “lawless one” by the<br />

“brightness of His coming” (2 Thess. 2:8).<br />

The Greek word “coming” in this verse is<br />

“parousia” and refers to the coming of God’s<br />

manifest presence and glory IN His people.<br />

These final two stages will include the return of the risen Lord to<br />

empower His people with His presence that will bind Satan and render<br />

him powerless to deceive people anymore. Jesus will return the same<br />

way that He did the first time at His resurrection. Again, the Scriptures<br />

have established a pattern for beginnings and endings. He did not return<br />

to unbelievers, but only to those looking for Him. He will simply<br />

appear to individuals and groups of people, as He chooses, to give them<br />

direction in establishing His kingdom on earth. There is much to say<br />

on this aspect of His return, but this writing is for the purpose of<br />

looking at the first stage of this rocket, which is the birthing of Christ<br />

IN His mature sons. For more information on how the Lord will return<br />

physically please read on the internet: “The Shekinah <strong>Glory</strong> of Christ at<br />

His Coming” by Roland Pletts. 22<br />
