The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Marriage of the Lamb, #42
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4)
. . . that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (John 17:21)
. . . that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John 17:23)
The Lord and we become visible in glory to the peoples of the earth.
John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus, and the Apostles preached the coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth. The Wife of the Lamb, the Body of Christ, the new Jerusalem, is the Kingdom of God.
There is an internal kingdom and then there is an external kingdom. The formation, reconciliation, and union stages result in the developing and perfecting of the inner kingdom in the members of the Wife of the Lamb.
As soon as the internal kingdom has been perfected it is time for the external kingdom to be brought forth. The external kingdom is the revealing of what has been performed in the invisible spirit realm. The material creation, including the nations of those who are saved, is awaiting the revealing, the manifestation of the sons of God.
The Kingdom of God is God in Christ in the saints. Today the Kingdom of God is invisible to the eyes of the nations. The marriage of the Lamb will result in the coming of the Kingdom of God, the doing of God's will in the earth. The glory of the Lamb and His Wife will be revealed in the sky for all people to behold.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Revelation 1:7)
Those who resist the appearing of the Lord and His Wife will be destroyed in the Battle of Armageddon. The remainder will be saved. They will be governed by the saints with love coupled with the exercise of irresistible force. All rebellion shall be crushed.
The appearing of the Kingdom of God will be good news for the meek of the earth but bad news for those who desire to do as they wish apart from the will of Christ. The meek will inherit the earth. The wicked will be destroyed out of it.
The Kingdom will appear in glory. Nothing that corrupts or rebels against God will be permitted to remain in the earth; for the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord.
In the following two verses from Isaiah we can observe how the marriage of the Lamb results in the bringing of righteousness and praise to the nations of the earth. First there is the joy of the Lamb and His Wife over the manifestation of their marriage. After that, the coming of glory to the nations is proclaimed.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. (Isaiah 61:10,11)
"Before all the nations."
