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).

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
