THE GLORIOUS APPEARING - Robert E. Hanna



THE GLORIOUS APPEARING
Robert E. Hanna

Scripture Reading: Titus 2:13

As members of the Church the Body of Christ, we have  the greatest eternal expectation of all the ages. While Israel  has an earthly promise, ours is a heavenly promise. "For our  conversation [citizenship] is in heaven; from whence we look  for [expect, anticipate] the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like  unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He  is able to subdue all things unto Himself' (Philippians 3:20-  21).

Whereas Israel will dwell in their promised earthly  kingdom in their physical bodies, we will be seated in our    heavenly abode in spiritual bodies. "Behold, I shew  you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [experience physical  death], but we shall all be changed" (I Corinthians 15:51).

Unlike His physical return to earth to establish His  prophesied kingdom, His catching us up into glory will be in  mid-air. "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven  with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the  trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we  which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with  them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall  we ever be with the Lord" (I Thessalonians 4:16-17).

Hence, we are "looking for that blessed hope, and the  glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus  Christ: Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us  from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people."

"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.  When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also  appear with Him in glory" (Colossians 3:3-4).
