November 13, 1998 A continued theme of the Holy Spirit (as He has spoken to the Church) in 1998 has been the manifestation of the Sons of Glory, also referred to as the Sons of Thunder. We began to receive prophetic words (last March) that the Sons of Glory (also includes women) would manifest (become visible) in 1998. Then this prophetic word came on October 4, 1998:
"Listen, My people, says the Spirit of the Lord. I shall tell you; I will speak to you about the times and the seasons in which you live. Did I not come on the Feast of Trumpets and proclaim to you that I was bringing forth a victory in the earth? Did I not speak to you and say I was taking back title deed to the earth? Haven't I told you that even in that season I came to celebrate the victory that I was bringing forth in the earth? The beginning (I speak to you today), the beginning of the manifestations of the sons of God, which I have already prophesied and spoken through the mouths of My servants, that would come forth in this the year, 1998, will manifest in this month on the day of victory. You say, what is the day of victory? I say that Satan has seduced you and taken your mind away from the thoughts that I am trying to give you. The celebrations are not over. Is there not another feast before you? Have you forgotten that upon the morrow, I say upon the morrow begins the Feast of Tabernacles, and it was on the eighth day of that feast that I stood up in the assembly of the first born and said, if any man thirst, come unto Me and I will give you the rivers of life. Come unto Me, and I will give you the Spirit of God, and victory shall spring forth as that river flows out of your innermost being. I have come, I say, to bring a people forth. I am not speaking about a weak people. I am speaking about a people who will live in power, a people who will live in strength, a people who have discerned the times and the seasons--the seasons that are upon them, the appointed seasons, the time of God meeting with man. Now, from your mind, because of the circumstances that you are living in, Satan has washed out from you the remembrance of the glorious appointed times of the seven-day celebration where you are to tabernacle with Me. If you will enter this time of feasting, of tabernacling with Me, the manifest presence of the sons of God shall come forth, I say, upon the eighth day of that feast. For it is written within My heart --the seasons and the times are written. This is a time that I have looked forward to from the foundations of this earth when I, Myself, would pour out the living water in a greater dimension, in a new dimension of power, and the living sons of God would manifest themselves in this the season of victory. It must be so because I have prophesied it, and I bring it forth by My strength in this the season of the restoration of all things."
The question then must surely be, "What meaneth this?" Who are these sons and daughters of His glory, and what is it that will be manifest through them?
The prophetic word said that the beginning of the manifestation of the Sons of God would take place on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Prophetically, the eighth day is symbolic of a new day (new beginning), and the Feast of Tabernacles is symbolic of those who have been dwelling in booths with God--those shut in with Him in fellowship.
This event is most exciting, and all of creation has waited for this time in which the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Romans 8:19 "For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God."
I do not believe that most of the church understands that at the end of the church age, just before Christ returns for a bride without spot or wrinkle, a glorious church will manifest in the earth. These sons and daughters of His glory will demonstrate the fullness of His expressed desire as revealed in John 14:12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."
This means that apostolic authority which produces power will be restored to those who have been tabernacling with God. Moses was in the presence of God for 40 days, and when he came down from the mountain, his countenance shone like the sun.
The term "sons of glory" then describes those who have been abiding in His presence and have been infused with His glory. Haggai 2:9 tells us, "The glory of the latter temple (whose temple we are) will be greater than the former." The former meaning the glory poured out on the beginning of the church age. The meaning of the word "glory" means to be weighty (heavy), honored, to beautify self by the adornment of His light. This is my description of the Sons of Glory: Those who have become honored by God (because of their desire for HIM and because they have sought after Him and been found in His presence), and the Holy Spirit has weighed them down with the mantle of His anointing until they have become adorned (clothed) in the illumination of His glorious splendor. At this point these Sons of Glory have beautified themselves with His likeness (divine nature) and are bringing forth the golden oil, which is allowing the fullness of the Holy Spirit to illuminate the risen Christ, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory!
I believe that the golden oil represents the latter and former rain anointing that will flow forth to the candlestick (seven Spirits of God). Hosea 6:1-3 tells us that after 2,000 years Jesus will revive His people as He comes to us as the latter and former rain. Zechariah chapter 4 presents us with a perfect picture of that occurrence, and verses 12 through 14 give us a picture of the two olive branches (menservants and handmaidens) who stand by the Lord of the whole earth, and the golden oil of the anointed ones drains into the lampstand. Here is a prophetic word that came on November 8, 1998:
"Eye has not seen; ear has not perceived the things that I am about to do among My people. Those that have come forth, those that have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, those that have come by way of Gethsemane, I will now begin to bring forth the golden oil from within, the anointing of My Spirit, and the power thereof that shall become a river of living water. That which I have spoken of in My Word shall now begin to flow. It will flow forth as a mighty rushing river, even as it is spoken of in My Word that on the day of Pentecost there came forth from heaven the sound of a mighty rushing wind. I say, if you listen, you can hear the sound of this mighty rushing river, the river of My anointing that comes forth, the river of My promise, the river of My power, the river of My purposes is about to touch this earth. When it does, watch out! I say, watch out, for you have not understood nor have you been able to perceive the magnitude and the power and the force with which it shall be birthed through the hearts of My obedient ones. It is even now beginning to flow. I say, it is even now beginning to flow. It is coming forth; it is up to your ankles; it is up to your waist. Now, get in the flow of My river and receive all that I have for you. I am pouring forth a fresh anointing today; I am bringing forth the golden oil that will bring light to this world and the hearts of many. You shall see the manifestation of the sons of glory, for I have decreed it, I have spoken it, and now it becomes."
The golden oil is about to flow, and the first manifestation of the Sons of His Glory is going to be candlestick light which is revelation knowledge. Now, it is not a coincidence that Bob Neumann released revelation knowledge regarding the First Thunder (see Revelation 10:4) on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, just as prophesied.
I have also seen some of that golden oil flowing forth from others since the Feast of Tabernacles. Jim Rinker has been bringing forth revelation on what I believe will be one of the most important issues (graven images) that the Most Holy Spirit is going to deal with as He prepares the bride. Bill Somers has challenged the church to rethink the millennium, and Glenn Jackson has been prophesying that God's greatest provision for His bride is now to be released. Our church has seen that provision already (since the Feast of Trumpets).
I am sure there is more coming forth that I am not even aware of as of this writing. I will prophesy to you, "1999 will be known as the Year of His Justice." His justice will bring both blessings and curses. Blessings will go forth for the obedient and curses for the disobedient in dramatic ways.
There is going to come a mighty impartation of Christ's authority to the Sons of Glory who will demonstrate the power of His kingdom with awesome signs and wonders following. I am already witnessing a new boldness in His servants, but before the fullness of His authority is demonstrated by the Sons of Glory, revelation knowledge will come forth like a mighty rushing river. It was Jesus who said to Peter, "On this rock (Peter's revelation that Jesus was the Christ), I will build My church. Think of this statement and the power of it!
Revelation knowledge becomes the substance of faith which then gives birth to the kingdom authority which produces supernatural power that comes by the Holy Spirit.
The glory of the King will so rest upon His latter days' temple that a visible presence of the shekinah glory of Almighty God will be upon His Sons of Glory, and the world itself will witness the Kingdom of God in manifestation.
Come now, let us return to the Lord; let us be found under His cloud, for it is indeed moving. Arise, you Sons of Glory, for the light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! Now is the time of the restoration of all things. Now is the hour of His visitation. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
