The Destiny Of The Bride Of Christ!

Arise, shine, for Your Light [Christ Jesus] has come [returned],

And the Glory of the Lord rises upon You [The Bride Of Christ].

See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples.

But the Lord rises upon You and His Glory appears over You.

Nations will come to Your Light

And kings to the brightness of Your dawn.

Lift up your eyes and look about You:

All assemble and come afar, and Your daughters are carried on the arm.

Then You will look and be radiant, Your heart will throb and swell with joy;

The wealth on the seas will be brought to You,

To you the riches of the nations will come.

Herds of camels will cover Your land, Young camels of Midian and Ephah.

And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense

And proclaiming the praise of the Lord.

All Kedar's flocks will be gathered to You,

The rams of Nebaioth will serve You;

They will be accepted as offerings on My altar

And I will adorn My Glorious Temple [The Bride of Christ].

Who are thee that fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests?

Surely the islands look to Me;

In the lead are the ships of Tarshish, bringing Your sons from afar,

With their silver and gold, to the honor of the Lord Your God,

Foreigners will rebuild Your walls, and their kings will serve You.

Though in anger I struck you, in favor I will show You compassion.

Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night,

So that men may bring you the wealth of the nations--

Their kings led in triumphal procession.

For the nation or kingdom that will not serve You will perish;

It will be utterly ruined.

The glory of Lebanon will come to You,

The pine, the fir and the cypress together,

To adorn the place of My Sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of My feet.

The sons of Your oppressors will come bowing before You;

All who despise You will bow down at Your feet

And will call You THE CITY OF THE LORD,

ZION of the Holy One of Israel.

Although You have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through,

I will make You THE EVERLASTING PRIDE and the joy of all generations.

You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts.

Then You will know that I, the Lord, am Your Savior,

Your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Instead of bronze I will bring You gold, and silver in place of iron.

Instead of wood I will bring You bronze, and iron place of stones.

I will make peace Your governor and righteousness your ruler.

No longer will violence be heard in Your land,

Nor ruin or destruction within Your boarders,

But You will call Your walls Salvation and Your gates Praise.

The sun will no more be Your light by day,

Nor will the brightness of the moon shine on You,

For the Lord will be Your EVERLASTING LIGHT,

and Your God will be Your GLORY.

Your sun will never set again, and Your moon will wane no more;

The Lord will be Your EVERLASTING LIGHT,

And Your days of sorrow will end.

Then will all Your people be righteous

And they will possess the land FOREVER.

They [The Bride Of Christ] are the SHOOT I have planted,

THE WORK OF MY HANDS, FOR THE DISPLAY OF MY SPLENDOR.

The least of You will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.

I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly. (Isaiah 60)

Today, we look at the darkness that covers the nations

And know that it will only get darker before the dawn of Christ's return.

At the same time Christ Jesus is raising up His Bride to reflect His Light.

She shines in the midst of the darkness.

In Isaiah 60, God foretells the destiny of His Bride.

It is glorious beyond all measure.

In a moment of “Time” God Almighty

Will destroy the kingdom of this world, the kingdom of Satan,

And He will establish The Kingdom of His Christ, Jesus, FOREVER!

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
