"The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory." - Isaiah 60:19.
There cometh a time when the hidden relations now existing between the Church and her God, shall be altogether manifest; when the tabernacle of God shall be with men; when the Church shall be clear as the sun, fair as the moon, and terrible as an army with banners. She will possess not solely an inward glory in her purity and moral resemblance to her Redeemer, but the glory of God, even the heavenly glory that dazzles the seraphim, shall invest her with an inconceivable splendor. No longer in his humiliation and in discredited divinity will Christ dwell in the midst of his little flock, as when on the earth in his flesh. No longer discernible as now only by the power of the Spirit and by the eye of faith, he will then dwell among them in the glory which he had before the world was; nay, with an enhanced glory. They shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads. The sun himself shall have no glory by reason of the glory that excelleth, when mortality shall have been swallowed up in life, when Christ shall be glorified in his saints and admired in every one that believeth, when the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
