Hope of glory

Col.1:26-27
"Even the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations but is now made manifest to his saints. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you the hope of glory.
The mystery that was hid but is now revealed, is that by the gospel, Christ now dwells in a people, the church. And, it is Christ in His church which is now God's hope (his absolute expectancy) that all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord. It is through the church, the body of Christ, that the Kingdom of God is expressed and seen in the earth. It is the church's mandate and destiny to be the extension of Gods kingdom in the earth, to rule and reign in life as his kingdom of priests, ever increasing the government and peace of his kingdom until all enemies have been subdued, and a restoration of all things has been made as spoken by all the holy prophets. Then the end shall come, and our King and Lord shall return to receive the Kingdom unto himself, and shall deliver it up to his Father. We will then receive our glorified bodies, and so shall we
ever be with the Lord.
