. . . and unto the house of the mighty. (Nehemiah 3:16)

The House of the Mighty

As soon as progress has been made in the building of the wall and gates, the defenses of Jerusalem (which are a symbolic portrayal of the power of the members of the Body of Christ to overcome and resist sin), then God's "mighty men" will begin to show signs of life in the "sepulchers" of the churches. The spiritual strength of the Church of Christ is being restored in the days in which we are living.

Some have seen visions, in recent times, of a gigantic warrior in the earth who has awakened as if from sleep and is now preparing to perform the works of God among the peoples of the earth. One couple while on the way to the assembly of the saints paused to watch the figure of a great armed warrior in the sky. This sign—if we wish to call it that—was observed by both husband and wife for several minutes. The warrior had no head.

As we understand it, the Body of Christ is a "mighty man of valor" who now is being created in the Christian people. This is the beginning of the fulfillment of the resurrection of Ezekiel's "dry bones."

As soon as God's warrior reaches the necessary level of maturity, the Head, Christ will come down on the Body. Then the Lord's mighty Man will fall on the forces of evil in the earth with relentless fury and unconquerable strength and wisdom.

And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. (Micah 5:8)

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; (Psalms 149:6,7)

When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. (Habakkuk 3:16)

Do ye not know the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? (I Corinthians 6:2)

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Jude 1:14,15)

As soon as Zion, God's mighty man of war, His right arm of strength, has been built up by the Lord, then Christ Himself will appear in His glory.

When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. (Psalms 102:16)
