Resurrection / Glorification:  The Invasion of God.

    Imagine again with me what would happen if there was a Christian resurrection and /or glorification of living believers:  It would serve to terrorize the unbelievers, especially the liberals and progressives that seek to remove the Biblical God from the public discourse.  When Jesus resurrected, the disciples could never believe that they were defeated again.  Even though the Pharisees Crucified Jesus before all eyes and despite that Jesus was impaled by a Roman spear to the very heart, the resurrection of Christ and many saints proved that he was in charge all along.  So also a mass resurrection/glorification would strike terror into those who thought they could "kill god."  Time Magazine proclaimed that "God is Dead," but what will such people do when the power of God raises indestructible all around the earth in the form of resurrected and glorified believers?  Worse than an invasion, this manifestation of God would prove that God had been all around them the whole time, holding His peace until that day when His purposed moment had come to utterly cast down all lies in one strange act:

Isaiah 28:21-22
21 For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

    In Joshua 10, at the battle of the valley of Gibeon, God did a planetary miracle that greatly favored the children of Israel.

Joshua 10:21-22
13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. ... So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

 We can imagine that the coming resurrection/glorification will be a planet wide manifestation, that will involve the people of God "avenging themselves." 

    Christians have the right to avenge themselves.  Christians as a group have been patiently submitting to the authority structures in this world, suffering violations of conscience through governmental corruption, progressivism, abortion, and open blasphemy against the true and living God.  So have they been lambasted and ridiculed by the ungodly,  These self proclaimed “gods,”  worm their way into the seats of power to serve their own corrupt desires, while the Christians often stand by loving their enemies (Matthew 5:44), submitting to authorities (1 Peter 2:13-15), and in general holding back the tide of sin.  Often wars have been fought against these forces of Satan.  But will God allow the darkness to stengthen itself forever?  A day of vengeance and power will come during the time of God's "strange act."  The "vengeance" will not be as in combat and killing, rather it will be the total violation of every false way that this world has put in place of obedience to Jesus Christ.  This period of time, or "day," will be the total repudiation of every false religion, worldly system, and the exposing of every Christian hypocrite. 


Isaiah 33:13-18
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror.

So we can imagine that a result of this transformation of regular Christians into super-human-evangelists would expose those that called themselves Christians, but were disobedient.  These hypocrites would be surprised by the fear of God, as they walked in open shame for not being one of the glorified ones.  The glorified saints would see Christ in His beauty, in contrast  the terror of being worthy of God's displeasure would cause many hypocrites to turn from sin in the terror of the Lord.
