Arriving at the counsel hall of the ages, these individuals will meet their Father face to face. They will learn who they are. As the magnitude of Sonship washes over their spirit, they will be transformed into their Father's likeness.
Just imagine. Webs of intense light will begin to arc through their hair, as so many colored bursts of electric lace. As the curling flashes replicate, they will slowly form into shimmering rings. Encircling each participant, these celestial adorments roll slowly downward, passing over each body from head to foot, as a ripple of blue-green iridescence.
Astonished, they will peer into their hands and chest, suddenly made translucent with incandescent power. A shuddering wave will run through their bones. Their outer forms will begin to dissolve, coalescing inward, shrinking until each body is reduced to a tiny spot, brighter than the sun.
As each becomes an infinitesimal point, much smaller than an electron, from each will explode all the power of creation, all the stars that were ever made. The galactic current of time will swerve to avoid these beings, swirling into a fractal stream and pooling to await their bidding. Suddenly they will emerge in another realm, as babes ejected from a womb.
In an instant these Sons will burst into the resplendence of autonomous, self-pertetuating life. At once, they will find themselves small enough to enter an atom, and large enough to put the universe in their pocket. That they may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us. They will be clothed with the traits of divinity, a bequest that cannot be reversed. Suddenly they will understand. All things will become open and known. The secrets of the universe will become clear as a child's puzzle. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
From these rites of passage, swift and sure, these newly manifest Sons will emerge as glorified, life-giving creators of flesh and spirit. The Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Yahweh their Father will be there. Jesus, their oldest brother and captain, will welcome them with a knowing joy. One by one they will present them to the fellowship of their brethren. I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
Then joining with their new comrades, they will fall into the revelry of ecstatic reunion. As soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. Adam, Elijah, and Peter will roar with elation. Eve, Rachel, and Ruth will burst into musical laughter. Noah and Abraham will excitedly rehearse the marvels of their experience. Joseph and Benjamain will weep with joyful gratitude. All will flow with an explosive energy of euphoric ebullience that will peal in waves past the bounds of creation. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne...and no man could learn that song by the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
They will all be changed. No longer limited by gender or form, they will have vibrant bodies of light which obey their every whim. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Each will be free, an individual without restraint, clad with the brillance of life. For one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead.
All will enter a timeless existence, without beginning and without end. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou aret a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. They will exude the faultless character of deity. In their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. And each will be known by a new name, which cannot be understood, slandered, or even spoken, by those outside that gathering. The Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
