<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 />
