"The glory of the Lord will shine from within us when His work within us is finished, and the feet of the Lord’s army shall march radiantly and triumphantly throughout the whole earth in the power of His might. After speaking of how the body of Christ shall arise and shine in the fullness of the glory of the Lord, the prophet Isaiah declares, “The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee (Humanists, Communists, Islamists, Buddhists, Hindus, Church Systems, sinners of all sorts, etc., etc.) shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, the city of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel” (Isa. 60:14). Why should it be that the enemies of Christ will bow down at the soles of His feet? Because the feet company of the body of Christ shall have done their work well! They are putting Satan under them and are overcoming him, thus destroying his power and bringing deliverance to every captive. What a hope! What a vision! And what a responsibility is ours!"
Great link on topic:
"My observation has been, and is, that those who are saying so much about how terrible things are in the world, and how the world is growing worse, are doing very little to make it better. Those who invest in the cause of HIS KINGDOM are those who believe in its final triumph! Do not sit with idle hands and complain that the world is going to hell in a hand basket! Rather, invest in prayer, invest in love toward all men, invest in righteousness, invest in faith, invest in spiritual understanding and maturity, invest in spiritual warfare, invest in the mighty work of the Spirit of God in His elect today until you can fulfill the word, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising…then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea (the vast realm of sin and wickedness) shall be converted unto thee, and the forces of the nations shall come unto thee” (Isa. 60:1-3,5). What a word!"
