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

The Lord required that His people appear before him three times per<br />

year (Ex. 23:17). Likewise, mankind will experience the manifest<br />

presence of the Lord on three major occasions. The Holy Spirit<br />

manifested Himself through a cloud and a pillar of fire to Moses and<br />

the children of Israel in the wilderness giving us the Covenant of the<br />

Law. The Son manifested Himself in the person of Jesus giving us the<br />

Covenant of Redemption. Finally, the Father will manifest Himself<br />

through His Bride during the Kingdom Age giving us a Covenant of<br />

Peace. The Feast of Tabernacles is a great foreshadow of what the<br />

Kingdom age will be like. This Feast was a big celebration after the<br />

general harvest where there was much thanksgiving and rejoicing in the<br />

goodness of God and His works.<br />

Although the Old Testament prophets were somewhat blinded to the<br />

Age of Grace, they saw the Kingdom age very well. King David spoke<br />

often in the Psalms about God’s kingdom being established on earth<br />

(Psalms 2, 24, 45, 47, 48, 72, 98, 110, 122, 132, 149). Except for<br />

Jonah, ALL of the Old Testament prophets spoke of the Kingdom Age<br />

where Jerusalem Israel will be the central government for all the<br />

nations. A few of these Scriptures from each Old Testament prophet is<br />

listed below:<br />

Isaiah 55:3-56:8, 59:21-62:12, 66; Jeremiah 23:1-8, 32:36-33:26;<br />

Ezekiel 16:60-17:24, ch 36; Daniel 7:27, 12:1-4; Hosea 2:14-23; Joel<br />

3:18-21; Amos 9:11-15; Obadiah 1:17-21; Micah 4:1-13; Nahum 1:15;<br />

Habakkuk 2:14; Zephaniah 3:9-20; Haggai 2:6-9.19; Zechariah 1:16-<br />

17, 2:8-13, 8:1-23, 14:16-21; Malachi 3:1-5.<br />

These Scriptures referenced above speak about the blessing of the<br />

Kingdom age. However, if you look at the context of the prophet’s<br />

messages, you will notice that they all speak about judgment too.<br />

These prophets usually spend more time speaking about the judgments<br />

than they do the blessings. This is because the Lord’s judgment will<br />

actually be the catalyst, which brings about the peaceful reign of the<br />

Kingdom Age.<br />
