As soon as the Lord builds up Zion, the Body of the High Priest, He will appear in His glory. Today, the members of the Body of Christ are moving toward maturity, through the grace of Christ given to us by the Holy Spirit. Each member is being perfected in his place "round about the camp" just as the stones of Solomon's Temple were perfected before they were brought to the building site.

When the trumpet of God begins to sound, the Glory of God Almighty will come down and cover every member of the Body of Christ—the people who live by eating the flesh of Christ and drinking His blood. The true saints of all ages will arise from the dead in the fullness of the power of the Spirit and ascend to meet the Lord in the air.

Then the Body will be joined together with the Head. It is the completing of the great High Priest of God. No power in Heaven or on the earth can prevent the flowing together of the Body of Christ in that Day. Church activity as we have known it, will come to an end. There is no "temple" in the new Jerusalem, in the Wife of the Lamb because the Lord reveals Himself to each saint in unveiled splendor (Revelation 21:22).

We do not have to worry about the ability of God to bring the Body to perfect oneness in Himself. The Body will flow together just as the Spirit of God brought the animals from distant places to find their refuge in Noah's Ark.

The trumpet of God will sound and the Church of Christ, already having been made one through the work of the Holy Spirit prior to the appearing of the Lord, will be joined to the Head, Christ. Then "all Israel" will be delivered and the Kingdom of God will be established in the earth.

The perfect unity of God's High Priest was set forth by the Spirit of Christ speaking in David:

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. (Psalms 133:1-3)

The holy anointing oil of the Aaronic priesthood, the symbol of the Holy Spirit, will flow over the Head and continue on down to every member of the Body of Christ. The glory which God has given to Christ will be extended to the Body. The result of the priestly anointing will be the perfect unity of the Church in Christ in God and the bringing of justice and deliverance to the nations of the earth.

The Spirit of God is portrayed as "dew." When the "dew" descends on the Body of Christ, on Zion, in the "early morning hours of the Day of the Lord," then the Lord God will command the blessing of eternal life for each person who will believe God has sent Christ and who will receive Him as Savior and Lord.
