Witnessing
His Visible Glory
By Jerry Hyde
"Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the
glory of the LORD is risen upon you."
"For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall
arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon
you."
"And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and
kings to the brightness of your rising," Isa 60:1-3.
There is a "weight of glory" that the Lord desires
to place upon His people as an end-time witness to the nations.
It is only through His grace that it will be possible for
us to carry this manifested glory.
This manifested glory would destroy us, if it were not for
the present work of preparation that the Lord is bringing
upon us. Only then will we be able to bear up under this visitation
of His presence, and allow the Lord alone to be seen in that
day.
Because the outworking of this manifested glory will not
be administered or controlled by human ability, it will accomplish
a purpose in the nations, far beyond any past evangelistic
effort.
