         the rightful heir of all things  will be there and we shall
         be there to reign with Him. 39
           And He will have his glorified body, His body that was

           The body which bears the scars of the cross;
         as  it had been slain."  Yes, He will return in the flesh.
         Acts 1:11.  The true reading of 2 John 7,  is, "who confess
         not Jesus Christ coming* in the flesh."  See also Isa. 63:
         1-6, and Eev. 19 :11-16. And "we know that when He shall
         appear, we shall be like Him."  1 John 3:2.  Therefore it
         is clear, that we, in these same bodies, changed into the
         image  of Christ's glorious body, shall inherit the Kingdom
         of God.
