The Glory of the gods
CHAPTER FOUR
be equal in character with God even while we are here on the earth.
But, have we limited this scripture only to character? Consider the
following.
Luke 9:27-29
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall
not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he
took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
and his raiment was white and glistering.
This is the true appearance of the Son of God. Matthew said, And was
transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his
raiment was white as the light (Matthew 17:2). Jesus took these men
with Him that they might see the glory of the Son.
Now this is where the faith of the sons of God is tested. Do we believe
that “as he is, so are we in this world?” Have we really comprehended
we are sons of God, even as he is a Son? He is the first begotten of many
brethren. His true appearance was camouflaged by His human body.
If we are truly as He is, then we too, right now, have an appearance just
as glorious. How could that not be so? Think about it for a moment.
Our soul has been joined to the Spirit of God. What does that creature
look like? How could he be anything less than glorious.
Luke 9:30-32
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses
and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should
accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:
and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that
stood with him.
Even Moses and Elijah appeared to them in the glory of their
transformation. The Father may not allow us to see our own
transformation while we serve Him in this world; but we ought to
be able to see it in our faith. And this would be possible if we truly
believed on Christ as the scripture has said.
Nevertheless, it seems the saints of God have been deluded by the
illusion of the flesh. However, even as Paul did, I remind you, “see no
