The Glory of the Son of Man (continued)

Beloved, the Lord Jesus has inspired me to write unto you from a new theme entitled “The Glory of the Son of Man.” Beloved, it is my endeavor to share with you the finest teachings from the Word of God that He shares with me. Beloved, the manifestation of the sons of God is evidently near at hand. “[T]he whole creation [Romans 8:22] groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now [even the year 2004]” for that grand and glorious event - the Rapture of the saints of God to His heavenly City, prepared for us. It must come; it shall happen! It will come and it will not tarry (see Habakkuk 2:3).

Precious Ones, for many years, men and women of God have been teaching on this subject of “The Rapture.” Some have given up hope. Yet, many hearts have been made to rejoice when they behold what the future holds in store for them that love Him. Even I, your humble servant, through the help of the Holy Spirit, have taught on this subject several times in almost nine years of ministry. According to the Apostle Paul, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, [even] the deep things of God” (I Corinthians 2:9-10). This revelation of Paul should cause this congregation to rejoice! The sons of Korah, the praisers, said, “Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God” (Psalm 87:3). Beloved, the “City of God” refers to the spirit-filled saints – the Bride of the Lamb. The Bride will be given power to rule over nations. That’s why the scripture says, “[H]e that overcometh, and keepeth [God’s] works unto the end, to him will [He] give power over the nations” (Revelation 2:26). This is a great part of the “Glory of the Son of Man.” Saints, we are His glory.

Chosen Ones, why do you think Jesus said, “Whosoever…shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels” (Mark 8:38)? I’ll tell you why; to teach those who despised the followers of the lowly Nazarene (Jesus) – those who rejected, scoffed, and ridiculed Him – that these same followers will one day rule the nations! Remember, “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

I will write more on this subject next week. Until then, know this…

I love you all SO very much,
In His Love,

Pastor William L. McCoy
