Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII. The Manifestation Of The Sons Of God. WHAT joy to write of these blessed overcomers, who are now to enter life; having suffered with Christ, they shall reign with Him-- have dominion. These have waited for their Lord to return and give them a seat with Him on His throne. We have tried to show that the kingly power they will then share with Jesus, is the restitution to the position of sonship; that Jesus manifested the glory of this position when He was here on earth: "This beginning of miracles did Jesus and manifested forth His glory." This glory, once possessed in paradise, had been lost; and mankind has had no hope of a restoration to that glorious position until Isaiah breathed out the secret: "Unto us a Son is given, and the government, (princely power, ) shall be upon His shoulder." This princely power Jesus had, He was a king among men; it was this mighty life He laid down to bring many sons unto glory. This is the glory which is to be revealed in us, and the groaning creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, because their glory will be manifested, as was the glory of Jesus, in healing and blessing. If this be the case, the question will be asked: "Are we not going to be caught up to Heaven when Jesus comes?" Let us turn to I Thess. 4:17; for our answer; we will give a word for word translation of the original Greek text: "And the dead ones in Christ will be raised first; afterwards we, the living ones: those being left over, at the same time with them, shall be caught away in clouds, for a meeting of the Lord, into air"-- Emphatic Diaglott. The Greek word kaipazo, translated caught up in this text, (A. V.) occurs also in Matt. 13:19; also Acts 8:39; and is rendered caught away in those instances....
