The angelic realms will hear of the birth and arrive to honor God's Sons. All creation will marvel at the grandeur of God's wisdom, made alive in his offspring. The Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. All will exalt at their presence, and be washed in the living flow. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Jarred from joyous reunion by the sudden blast from a battle horn, the din will subside and these new commanders of galaxies will convene in divine congress. This cartel of ruling divinity is called the Body of Christ. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

The Body of Christ is composed of the glorified firstborn Sons of God, the firstfruits of Israel. Ye are come unto mount Sion...to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.

Jesus will be chairman of this heavenly group, and the members themselves are his brothers. So He fixes the time for the birth of her child [Jesus], and He will restore with the Children of Israel the rest of His brothers!...They rest, when tired, at the bounds of the earth. Michah 5:1-3 (Fenton) All the brothers of Jesus will share his destiny, for they all will have been born by the same process. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and set down with my Father in his throne.

Assembled into this divine federation, the reins of creation will be transferred to them. Unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. They will be given the heavens and the earth. All the realms of creation will be placed in their care. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Every facet of time, space, power, good, evil, life, and death, they will receive as a personal possession. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Then turning their attention to the crisis on earth, they will invade from the heavenly realms. Intense as a phalanx of kings, they will pass through the plasmatic veil that restrains creation, and enter the realm of flesh. In a moment they will appear on the earth, as warriors emerging from a shimmering mirage. Their hearts will pulse with righteousness and their hands will be laden for war. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Fathers name written in their foreheads.

This group of divine beings is the only answer to earth's problems. They have been ordained of God as the power that shall end the captivity of evil that now enslaves the world. Behold the Lord God shall come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. These are unyielding sovereigns, the appointed ruler of all things. With a mission of dread purpose they will arrive to cleanse the earth. I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger.

In stealth they will be suddenly present, as gentle as fog, as piercing as truth, as lethal as God himself. They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt.

All flesh shall sense their arrival, and the terrors of men will turn inward. Saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

Entering this world of evil, as alighting near a funnel cloud, the Sons of God, as insurgents, will appear on the earth. It will be a time when few looked for them. It will be a day when they were not expected. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Abruptly and without warning the Sons of God will arrive, in the midst of darkness, as furious lightning on a black and stormy night. They will come as the avengers of blood, the kinsman-redeemers of Adam. They come with a mission to liberate, and to claim the blood debt of their clan. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. As an army from the the rising sun they will redress the grievance of Eden. The Lord sends your brave army from Zion; charge up to the breast of your foes! Your Forces are ready to-day, your Army in beautiful pomp, More than dew-drops that come from the breast of the Dawn! Psalms 110:2,3 (Fenton)

With their weapons at the ready the Sons will cry against the powers of evil, and demand the release of mankind. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me...to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of veneance of our God. They will assemble in battle array, with tumult and power, speaking war to the enemies of God.

The enemies of God are fear, doubt, disbelief, self-centeredness, rebellion, and idolatry. These are to be eradicated from the earth.
