For those who will one day find their deepest fill in hearing the following words, “This is My son, whom I love, and in whom I am well pleased”, these are they who will one day have the privilege of the formidable glory that is the venerable Ark of the Covenant come to manifest in them permanently and to clothe them in a heavenly glory like the light of a seven-fold sun. For they will all be sons and daughters, both in Spirit, and in truth. For they will be all those who have overcome, and in turn, received the great prize of glorified and heavenly bodies before the day of their sunset. Which will be those for whom the perishable will be “clothed” with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. For that time is coming and will soon come. For the whole of creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed (Romans 8:19). For all of creation yearns for the day when the voice of the vexatious accuser may be permanently and completely silenced, which is the wonderful day when the accuser’s claims of there being no sons who are loyal and faithful to God, that there are no sons who don’t love their own lives more than God, will be forever and permanently silenced. And that will be the day when the Son of God shall wear His breastplate of glory. For that is the day when “A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, That He has done this.” Psalms‬ ‭22:30-31‬.

The glorious notion and significance of all the earth being held in an attitude of groaning, being “as if in labour pains”, being all for the long-awaited and long-heralded promise of the assembly of the “first born sons of God”, is something a great many multitudes will have all heard of in some manner in recent days. And the reason for this groaning is a creation poised in eager anticipation of “the momentous arrival” of all those devoted sons and daughters entering their final stages of the third trimester towards being born and released into all that “the new creation” was blueprinted to be, long before the foundation of the world. “For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.” Ephesians 1:4-6.

For such is the magnitude and significance of this moment that creation yearns for it with bated breath. For it shall be a moment when a new sunrise with the seven-fold light of the sun of the glory of the LORD will suddenly come upon His first born sons in the twinkling of an eye, being the precise moment in those first born sons when the LORD “binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted” (Isaiah 30:26). Which is the bruise of the fallen nature and the wound of mortality. Which is when the perishable will be “clothed” with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality (1 Corinthians 15:54). And having been those who in this life have carried to full term, being those who have been made complete in Christ , who is the head over every ruler and authority (Colossians 2:10) in this season that is this life on earth, being neither those sons who are yet in their first trimester of obedience and growth, nor those in their second trimester, representing all those who are the 30-fold and 60-fold seeds of Christ that have all fallen “in the good soil” respectively, the first born sons of God, on the other hand, shall therefore all be complete, both within and without, in both image and likeness, being those seeds that yield a 100-fold fullness of the manifest presence of the Most High, being those entirely without spot or wrinkle. For they shall be sons and daughters not only in spirit, but also in truth (soul and body), not only in title (converts), but also in nature (humble disciples), being those seeds in the good soil that have all “grown up into Him IN ALL THINGS, which is the Head, even Christ” (Ephesians 4:15).

For when the water of the Holy Spirit’s latter rain finally breaks, it will commemorate the beginning of the “spoken-of time” when the glory of God shall begin to fill all of the earth. “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14), being “the great sea and covering of humanity” that now fills and covers all the earth. For all those sons who have carried to full term maturity, as with the invitation to maturity and its liberty that was the “40-year gestation period of the exodus from Egypt”, so is the invitation unto all from on high for the great “40 week gestation period” in the “womb of the new creation” that is the call unto all during the window of opportunity that is this season of time on earth. Being those particular sons who have, during this seedtime that is life on earth, all been sanctified “through and through”, which is through spirit, soul and body, so that “their whole spirit, soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Where “the coming of the Lord” will be His “coming through His sons”, which is why it will be as a tsunami, for the sea of mankind is great and covers all the earth, through whom His glory will be made known and manifest in all the earth as a breastplate of glory for Christ. For that will be the long-awaited day when the Son of Man manifests as the glory of a seven-fold sun released upon and into all the earth out of the belly of the habitation of Christ in and through all those sons who carry the formidable and manifest glory of the Ark inside them, being the high calling and heavenly purpose of this life on earth. For it is through the “through and through” sanctification of spirit, soul and body, being the succession from babe to maturity that is the developmental milestones of the three-way trimesters of a 30, 60 and a 100-fold fruitfulness of righteousness, that all the earth shall now begin to be filled with the manifest glory of the Son of God. For does the Word of God not say, “everyone who PRACTICES righteousness is born of Him”? I John‬ ‭2:28-29‬.

Salvation of the spirit is only the beginning. It’s the 30-fold harvest. And the great tragedy of life is that a great multitude of sons and good Christians who camp at the 30-fold base camp of salvation of spirit only, think that they have accomplished all that was destined for them in this life. For this is the great failing of the church. For the church has taught only salvation, not discipleship. For the church has stopped at the salvation of the spirit, which is to teach man to camp at the foot of the mountain of the temple of the Lord, not the full salvation “through and through” of spirit, soul and body. For those who are content to remain at the 30-fold base camp of the salvation of the spirit only, are like those who in the natural have not carried to full term. They have been born prematurely, or sadly, like Esau, are those who have miscarried, being those who have forfeited their birthright “for a single meal of the world” which is the single day that is life on this earth, rather than claiming the birthright of the never-ending feast that the Father prepares for us daily at His banqueting table. Which is why Philippians 2:12 tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling because so much is at stake. The salvation of the spirit is merely the gate. We need to first enter through the gate and then thereafter still walk the straight and narrow path of the pilgrim’s progress of working and walking the seed of that righteousness in our spirit out into our soul and body also (harvest), so that we may present our WHOLE BEING blameless at the coming of the Lord (which is the great commission of discipleship).

But lest we forget and think that this is all about the sons themselves, and not all about “THE Son”, when the word of God says the earth is groaning, what it is saying is that all of creation is looking with eager anticipation for more than the manifestation of the sons of God. For with the manifestation of the sons of God what all of creation is truly looking for is the manifestation of the Son of God, and for the Son of God to wear His rightful breastplate of glory. For even though He chooses to manifest through His sons, all the glory is His and His alone. For whilst a true son, who is a son in spirit and truth, is the son who “honours his Father”, being one who truly lives and breathes to “bring glory to his Father”, which he does by being a living testimony to His Son and a living example of His Son, in both image and in likeness, and who loves and lives to do his Father’s will on earth as it is in heaven, a true son lives and walks for the single purpose of bringing glory through Christ to his Father and his Father alone. Which will be complete and perfect on the day when the firstborn sons manifest the fullness of the Son of God through the habitation of Christ in them. “For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.” Romans 11:36. Which is when the Word becomes flesh in and through all those sons and daughters. For in Him we all live and breathe and have our meaning. For all things were created by Him, and all things exist through Him and for Him. Which is when the Son of God is made known through the stewardship, headship and discipleship of Jesus as LORD, not just Jesus as Saviour. Which is when a convert matures from a 30-fold babe camping at the base camp of salvation by picking up his cross and following Jesus and climbing to the summit of the 100-fold fullness and stature of the “new creation”. Which is a son of God after the pattern of Jesus. Which is a son of God after the pattern of Ephesians 4:15. Which is when we will have all GROWN UP INTO HIM in all things (spirit, soul and body), which is the Head, even Christ.

And then, just like on the day when the whole world heard a loud voice from the throne room of heaven saying, “This is My Son, whom I love, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17), all of the earth will once again hear a loud voice from heaven. “I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.’” Revelation 21:3.

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be all the honour and all the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:17).
