THE ETERNAL PURPOSE / PART 17
THE COMING AGE OF MIRACLES
According to Bill Britton:
-"There is a beautiful clue given us in Hebrews 6:5 about what will take place in the next age. "For in the
case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy
Spirit, and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come. (Hebrews 6:4-5 New American Standard Bible)."
The Amplified Bible says: "the mighty powers of the Age and world to come." Wuest translation states: "tasted the good Word
of God, also the powers (miracles) of the age that is about to come." King James says simply: "tasted the good Word of God,
and the powers of the world to come." They all agree on this - there are Mighty powers reserved for the next age, and we are
not there yet. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years, during which the sons of God -- that glorious company of saints without
a spot or wrinkle -- will clean up the terrible mess his government has left. Glorious miracles and healings will abound;
in fact, they will be the order of the day, the norm for the hour. There will be absolute dominion by the sons of God over
all the natural and created forces, as well as over all the powers of darkness." ( Writings Of His Unlimited Glory,
Bill Britton )
-This present age ( the barley harvest ) is for the purpose of gathering in a remnant. This remnant is
to be used by God in the ages to come. The remnant will play a part in what the apostle Paul referred to as the MANIFESTATION
OF THE SONS OF GOD, in which ALL the creation will be set free ( Romans 8:18-23 ). The coming age will be for the purpose
of gathering the nations unto God ( the wheat harvest ). This can be seen through many Old Testament scriptures.
-Isaiah 2:2-4 states, … And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house
shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and
He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war
any more …
-Zephaniah 3:8,9 states, … Therefore wait upon me, says the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the
prey: for My determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them My indignation, even
all My fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy. For then will I turn to the people
a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one consent …
-What glorious promises concerning the coming age of miracles, in which ALL NATIONS shall call upon the name
of the Lord, to serve Him with one consent.
According to Bill Britton:
-"Press on, saints of God! The purpose of God for His church is at hand. This present age of darkness is rapidly
coming to a close. The next age, governed by Christ and His sons, is at the door. Praise the Lord!" ( Writings Of His Unlimited
Glory, Bill Britton )
