Hebrew 1:3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature………
2 Corinthians 4:4,6 (4) In whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the gospel of the glory of God… (6) For God who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ
Lately, I’ve been watching a tv show that deals with healings and various supernatural interventions from God. I love hearing people’s testimony of their miraculous encounters with the Lord. Observing these stories always builds my faith. However, this particular program had a lot of preachers who talked about the latter glory that is coming upon the earth. The latter glory is referenced in the Old Testament book of Haggai (2:9). Simply, Haggai was a prophet who prophesied concerning the glory of Lord filling the temple in the last days. Consequently, I believe that we are in the last days and so did the believers of the New Testament era. In Hebrews (2:1), Paul stated that in these ‘last days’ the Father has spoken to us in His Son. Also, in the book of Acts(2:17), Peter recited Joel’s prophecy, which declared that in the ‘last days’ the Lord would pour His Spirit on all mankind. However, we know that Peter was referring to the prophetic fulfillment of Joel’s declaration when the Holy Spirit filled the believers on the day of Pentecost. Therefore, I believe that Haggai’s prophecy was also speaking about the day of Pentecost, and I believe the glory that Haggai referred to was Jesus. Accordingly, that day the temples of God were filled with the glory of God, which was Christ in them the hope of glory (Col 1:27). You see, I believe that we will see the greatest revival that church has ever known, and as Bishop Chuck always says, “We shouldn’t be waiting on God to move, He is waiting on us(paraphrased).” He has filled His temples with glory, and all creation is waiting for the ‘revealing (coming forth) of the sons of God(Rom 8:19).’
