And thus also it will be in the Millennial day, when the
complete Christ–the Priest–is revealed, it will be only to those that
look for him–only those shall see him. They will see him, not by
organic sight, but as we now see all spiritual things–Jesus, the
Father, the prize, etc.–by faith. Man will never see the CHRIST by
organic sight, for the same reason that they will never see Jehovah–because on a different plan of being–one spirit, the other flesh.
But we (the little flock) shall see him as he is, for we shall be like
him–like unto Christ’s glorious spiritual body, which is the
express image of the Father’s person. (1 John 3:2; Phil. 3:21; Heb.
1:3)
But though only those who look shall be able to recognize the
Christ, as the deliverer who will save them from the dominion of
death; yet this will embrace all the world, for the manner of
revelation will be such that ultimately all must see. Every eye shall
see him; and all in their graves, being raised to life–they that
pierced him will realize that they crucified the Lord of Glory. He
shall be revealed (in the sky? No) in flaming fire, (judgments)
taking vengeance on those that know (recognize not God, and obey
not (accept no) the gospel (good news–the deliverance). It will not
take long for all mankind to recognize him under such
circumstances. Now the good suffer; then shall ye discern between
him that serveth the Lord, and him that serveth him not, for in that
day a distinction will be manifested. (Mal. 3: 15-18) Then all,
seeing clearly, may accept of him and have everlasting life; for
“We trust in the Living God, who is the Savior of all men,
specially of those that believe.” (1 Tim. 4:10)
This the types illustrate–”And as it is appointed unto men
(Aaron and his successors who were only types of the High Priest
of the new creation) once to die (typically, as represented in the
animals slain) and after that, (following as a result of those
sacrifices) in the judgment (of God was manifested, as accepting
the offering–the priest coming out to bless, for all whom he made
atonement–all the people.) So Christ (head and body) was once
offered (never will it be repeated) to bear the sins of many (“every
man”) and unto them that look for him, he shall appear the second
time, without sin unto salvation.” (Not again to be sacrificed for
the sins of the people, but to bless them.) Heb. 9:27,28.
Many have been looking in an indefinite way for a good time to
come, and the removal in some way of the curse, speaking of
whom, Paul says: “The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in
pain together until now, waiting for the MANIFESTATION of the
