The eyes that Beheld his Glory During his

ministry

(John 1:1-14) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word

was God… In him was life; and the life was the light of men…

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness

comprehended it not… And the Word was made flesh, and

dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as

of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

(Joh 1:29) The next day John seeth Jesus

coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God,

which taketh away the sin of

the world.

(Mat 17:1-2) And after six days Jesus taketh

Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high

mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

(Act 1:15) And in those days Peter

stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were

about an hundred and twenty,)

The Eye that have beheld his glory during the last 2,000 years

(Mat 7:13-14) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,

and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and

narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and

few there be that find it.

The eyes that will behold his Glory at his 2nd

Coming

The danger in waiting to be

hold his Glory

(Zec 14:12) And this shall be the plague wherewith

the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their

flesh shall consume away while they stand

upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume

away in their holes, and their tongue shall

consume away in their mouth.

(2Th 1:7-9) And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the

Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking

vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from

the glory of his power;

The opportunity to be hold his Glory to Day

(2Pe 3:9-10) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,

but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens

shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall

melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

(1Jn 1:7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one

with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us

from all sin.

“they also which

pierced him”

This Biblical Statement carries us back in time (Mat 26:64) Jesus saith unto

him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of

heaven.

Who pierced him?

The Roman Soldiers

(Joh 19:34) But one of the

soldiers with a spear pierced his

side, and forthwith came there out blood

and water.

Pilate (Joh 19:10) Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest

thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee,

and have power to release thee?

The Nation of Israel

(Joh 19:15) But they cried out, Away with him, away with him,

crucify him. Pilate saith unto them,

Shall I crucify your King? The chief

priests answered, We have no king

but Caesar.

(Mat 27:25) Then answered all the

people, and said, His blood be on us, and

on our children.

(Zec 12:10) And I will pour upon the house of David, and

upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace

and of supplications: and they shall look upon me

whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only

son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in

bitterness for his firstborn.

You and Me

(Isa 53:5) But he was wounded for our

transgressions, he was bruised for our

iniquities: the chastisement of our

peace was upon him; and with his stripes

we are healed.

Unsaved

(Amo 5:16) Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

(Zep 1:14) The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

(Isa 13:6) Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

(Isa 13:7) Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

(Isa 13:8) And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

(Isa 13:9) Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

The wail of the saved

glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all

them that believe (because our testimony

among you was believed) in that day.

(Tit 2:13) Looking for that blessed hope, and the

glorious appearing of the

great God and our Saviour Jesus

Christ;

(2Ti 4:8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them

also that love his appearing.
