Publisher's Synopsis
There is need in the body of Christ to root deeper and grow taller as the people of God. Living beneath our potential has become the "norm" for many Christians. The seeds of vision the Lord sowed in our spirits at our conversion have for the most part had a hard time growing in the hard, stony, thorny soil of our souls.The Glory of the Latter House gives an overview of how three prophets spoke to Israel after their return from 70 years of captivity in Babylon. The prophets employed rebuke, exhortation, comfort, and direction as God worked through them to help a cast down generation of His people rise to the prophetic opportunity of the hour and look forward to Messianic fulfillment. The key scripture is Haggai 2:9: "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts." We have a glorious future before us. Not after we leave this earth and these human bodies, but upon this earth in these vessels made of clay. The key to seeing this greater glory of the latter house is to believe it can happen and will happen in us and through us, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts" (Zec 4:6).Questions for Reflection for each chapter in the appendices give a transformational opportunity for readers of this informational, inspirational volume. Great for individual and group study.
