My Father's Task/The Parousia

The Father's task in the present age we live in is the formation of sonS (plural), for it is they who He shall use in the completing of the Bride. These are "they who make wise"-the instructors of Dan 12:10.

The reason for this is the sons represent the "head"of the body-the assembly. They are what is called "a firstfruit Christ".

1Cor15:22-23" For just as in Adam all die, so
also in the Christ shall all be made alive. BUT,
each in his own rank (or order). (first in rank
or order is....)A FIRSTFRUIT CHRIST(these are
the sons); after that (the next rank or order is...)
they who are the Christ's in His presence (coming-
"parousia").

Rev 14:1,2,3,4-5: "And I saw and lo! the Lamb
standing upon mount Zion-and with Him a hund-
red forty four thousand, having His Name and His
Father's Name on their foreheads.....And they
sang as it were a new song (they are all filled with
the same Spirit; having experienced the same ex-
perience, and say the same thing)....and no one
was able to learn the song, save the hundred
forty four thousand, WHO HAD BEEN REDEEM-
ED FROM THE EARTH (caught up to God and
to His throne). These are they who with women
were not defiled(they were not held back in their
spiritual journey by "women"; ie, desire-for the
things of earth),for they are virgin (spiritual-
wholly taken up with God and His will) These are
they who follow the Lamb WITHERSOEVER HE
IS GOING (continuously spirit led). These were
REDEEMED FROM MANKIND AS A FIRSTFRUIT
unto God and the Lamb, and in their mouth is
no falsehood-fautless they are" (Rotherham)

As in a natural birth the head is "born first"(comes into the new world first), so there is a group called "firstfruit Christ", who rep-
resent the "head" of the body/assembly- the spirit body of Christ,
who are "born first";ie, they experience resurrection first in order.
The head is where the mind is-the control center of the body. These have the mind of Christ and "go before"the body into the spirit realm(resurrection), "making straight "the way of the Lord, teaching the body members the way of Spirit

Jesus, the spirit of God/Christ, comes IN and THROUGH the sons to individual members of the body/bride. This is the "coming with clouds" (clouds of witnesses). Only individual members of the bride will recognize THE SON in the sons. When
individual bride members see Jesus in the sons, HE, Jesus "comes"to them (or appears to them in the sons); it is instantaneous-they see Him in the sons/He comes/appears!

This is the "parousia" or the "coming" or "appearing" of Christ. They who see THE SON in the sons are those described in 1Cor 15
(above)as the Christ's in His presence (coming/appearing/"parousia")
