10 When [hotan] he shall come [erchomai] to be glorified [edoxazo] in [en] his [autos] saints, [hagios] and [kai] to be admired [thaumazo] in [en] all [pas] them that believe [pisteuo] (because [hoti] our [hemon] testimony [marturion] among [epi] you [humas] was believed [pisteuo]) in [en] that [ekeinos] day. [hemera]KJV-Interlinear
10 when He comes to be glorified
in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed
for our testimony to you was believed.
NASB
In that future day, for
the very first time in history, the believers of our Church Age will see the
destruction of evil, the existence of everyone else, the vast population of
angels, not to mention the magnitude of the appearance of Christ.
And all of this will be
so overwhelming that the word for marvel or admiration will be inadequate to
describe our emotions.
All through history,
the world has rejected God, Christ, doctrine and believers in general.Believers have been look down upon as the
dregs of the earth.
Few in number in any
given generation, and spread across the planet, and frowned upon, constantly
denied their rightful claim to the blessings of the earth in this life, it is
difficult to see the object of faith, in tangible terms.
But there will come a
time, when all unbelievers will be removed from our presence, and we will see
not only the glory of the Lord standing before us in literal and physical form,
but here Paul describes not His appearance nor His power, as being the source
of this particular glory, but His accomplishments.
First, the plan, then
the execution of that plan, then the dealings with evil and the opposition of
Satan and Satan patterns of unbelief, ridicule, and rejection, which have
brought severe sufferings to people and especially to believers throughout
history.Then the Cross and the
salvation promised long ago and fulfilled in spite of overwhelming
opposition.Then the burdens of our
lives lifted, the doctrine supplied, the opportunity for spiritual growth and
production within our individual lives.The loss of our loved ones.The
hardships that we all must face in this life.And this list goes on and on.
Then our individual
deaths, for those who will or have died prior to the Rapture, and then the
Rapture itself, and the Judgment Seat of Christ, the Wedding Feast, and then
the Second Advent.
All of this will be
overwhelming and convincing proof of our faith, when we will finally see our
loved ones, when we will see all believers from all of the past centuries, and
so forth, and then (even before then), but certainly then, when all evil is eradicated
as far as the Second Advent goes, and the entire scene will place glory where
it belongs, in Christ, because all believers standing there will be proof, of
His ultimate success and accomplishments.
God has a phenomenal plan
for your life.Don t mess it up by
indifference or apathy or rejection of that which you cannot see today, for
certainly as you live and breathe, one day you will see it all.
And certainly you will not
want the embarrassment of having ignored your spiritual life and preparation
for eternity, now, but will want to be ready and complete in your life, for a
far better eternal life to come.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
