Foundation Stone Seven - Glorious Union



                    hat if it were the Father’s plan to so fill mankind with His own holy, omnipotent and
               Womniscient presence that it became impossible to tell where He ended and where we
               began? Suppose that in a moment of time we became so infused with the divine life that it
               was like a high voltage electric current filled us with the same power that fuels a trillion
               stars. Try to envision for a moment that the vitality you now experience as the life of God
               glows within you was suddenly fanned into the brilliance of a million suns shining in their
               strength.  Imagine  suddenly,  in  an  instant,  having  your  mental  capacity  expanded  to
               understand all mysteries and to contain all knowledge in such a way that even Solomon’s
               experience would be eclipsed as but the smallest foreshadowing of things to come.
                     Such an experience is not hyperbole, nor vain imagination. In truth, these words do
               not come near describing that which the Father has planned for His sons and daughters.
               Consider the following testimony of Scriptures.


                       I John 3:2
                       Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall
                       be. We know that, when [Christ] appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see
                       Him just as He is.

                       Romans 8:29
                       For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of
                       His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren...

                       I Corinthians 15:49
                       And just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the
                       heavenly.

                       Philippians 3:20-21
                       For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the
                       Lord  Yahshua  Christ;  who  will  transform  the  body  of  our  humble  state  into
                       conformity with the body of His glory...

                     From the very beginning of creation Yahweh set a plan in motion to create beings after
               His image, and in His likeness. It was four thousand years before the first man appeared
               who would fulfill this prophetic declaration of the Father. The first Adam could not say, “He
               who has seen me has seen the Father.” It was not until Christ walked this earth that a man
               appeared who could make this statement.
                     Yet the glory of Christ while He was on this earth was veiled. There were moments
               when it was glimpsed, as was revealed on the mount of transfiguration.

                       Matthew 17:1-2
                       And six days later Yahshua took with Him Peter and James and John his brother,
                       and brought them up to a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured
                       before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as
                       light.
