"It is marvelous in our eyes" / "Clouds" of "Heaven"

QUESTIONS from a comment that was left  (under "Glory"):
Hello Pearl,
We are motivated to keep striving and to keep throwing of every sin that could entangles us, so we might be worthy to be used in any way Jah and Christ see fit. If we look at the GB... how could that glory of the world possibly even come close to Christ Arriving through an Anointed who prove faithful?!
How will 2Thess1:10 happen?
What kind of Glory will we see so that it will be "marveled at"?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

MY REPLY:

Yes, there is so much in that one verse of Heb.12:1.
2Thess.1:7,12 goes well with verse 10 (2Thess.1:10). I will put segments of them together, to see the connection more clearly...
"This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed."
And I would supplement these (and Heb.12:1), with 1Thess.4:17;
"After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air."

This truth about who the "angels"/"clouds" are upon which Jesus arrives in glory, must be clarified; 
because the WT (and other so-called prophets), teach the lie that the angels with which Christ returns in glory, are not human. 
Once we understand that the "new heavens" are sealed Chosen ones (2Pet.3:13; Eph.2:6; Heb.12:22,23),
then many truths are healed within our mislead minds, and our faith can be restored to one based upon Truth.

Regarding "being marveled at" (2Thess.1:10), and how it will happen;
If our eyes are spiritual,
we can perceive that this is already happening, and has been happening since Jesus arrived to the earth.
See Jesus' words at Mark12:10,11...
"Have you not even read this Scripture: 'THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES '?" 
(Ps.118:23)
Now look at verse 10 again...
"on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you."
Yes, this "marveling" included those of faith in the first century.
These believers marvel at the power of the return of Christ (John16:16; Phil.3:10; Rom.6:5),
not the return of the Gentile Beast of persecution (Rev.13:3; 17:8)

It is not to the world that Jesus will be seen as the glorified cornerstone (John14:21,22; Acts 10:41; Rev2:28; 22:16).
(See three provisions for life, under #2 of this LINK to see how Jesus is revealed to the faithful.)
It will not be to the world that his glorious arrival will be seen through his faithful messenger "angels".
It will only be "marveled at" among those of faith.
Those foolish virgins lacking faith in the power of God's spirit, will not know at all the time of his arrival 
(Heb.11:6; Rev.3:3; Isa.47:11; 1Thess.5:3; Luke 17:26,27; 12:39; 21:34; 1Pet.5:8) 
(Luke 21:36; Mark 13:37; Luke 12:37; Matt.25:10; 24:44; Rev.3:20)
(Matt.24:48; Hab.2:3).
Those foolish virgins will be off buying man-made provisions, when the Bridegroom arrives (Matt.25:9,10; Rev.13:17; Luke 13:24), and consequently be shut out of the Lamb's marriage feast 
(Rev.1:1; John 15:15; Rev.19:9; Matt.22:8,9,10; Rev.22:17).

***Why do they not recognize the glorious presence of Christ, through the Holy Spirit and truth, embodied within the members of the Holy City? (John15:15; 5:20; 14:12; 3:35)
(Matt.25:14; 1Thess.2:4; 1Cor.4:1; 2Thess.2:14; 1Thess.1:5; Rom.8:30)
(A glory of "grace and truth" -John1:14) 
[This is the same kind of glory ("grace and truth") which is seen in the faithful (John17:22; Rom.8:18), not the glory of the world (John5:44,41; 1John2:15-17; Matt.4:8-10).
Because they are already extolling the worldly glory of the presence of the Wild Beast (Rev.17:8; 13:3,8) through the demonic spirit of lies, embodied within its false prophet and Gentile Beast members (Rev.16:13,14), the light of genuine spiritual glory, cannot shine through to them (2Thess.2:9-12; 2Cor.4:3-4; 3:16; John8:12; 12:35). 
God's people as a whole do not recognize the Beast's real identity as Satan's tool of paralyzing persecution, returned (Rev.17:8). They rather, accept it's depiction as a divine image, at the word of the "false prophet" (Rev.19:20; 13:15,12,14; 2:20; 2Thess.2:4,9,10; Rev.8:10,11; 9:1,2,3) 
    ("Who is the 'earth' / 'world'?") ("All Slain on 'EARTH' "). 
They put their faith in Satan's misleading lies (Rev.16:13; 12:16) 
by buying spiritual provisions from the Wild Beast (Rev.6:6; 13:17; Matt.25:9,10)
    ("Mark of the Beast")
Their "house" of faith has been built upon the shifting sands of the sea 
(Matt.7:26,27; Rev.13:1,4,8; Eph.4:14; 6:11; 2Cor.11:3; 1Pet.5:8; Rev.13:7) 
(Matt.24:24,25; 7:15; Acts 20:30; Rev.13:11; Ps.140:3; Deut.32:32,33; Rev.14:19; Joel 3:13) 
(2Pet.2:1,2; 2Thess.2:1,2; 1Tim.4:1; Rev.16:13,14,15,16).

How clearly we observe the fulfillment of these prophecies!
How clearly we observe the inability of those who worship the creations of men, to see the glory of truth!

I myself, "marvel" at the glory of the Cornerstone of Truth,
who has let his light shine on those who were prisoners of darkness (Rev.13:10; Isa.42:7; 49:8,9,24,25; Matt.12:29; Rev.20:2; John12:31) and has been doing so from the time he arrived (John8:12; 1:4; 9:5; 12:35,36,46), by granting such power over darkness (Luke 10:19,20; 1Thess.5:4,5,6; 1Pet.2:9; Matt.5:14,16; Luke 12:35; Rev.19:14; 12:17; 2Cor.10:4,5,6; Eph.6:11,12).
He has lifted them up, and brought them to a wide-opened place in heaven, to sing God's praises for the benefit of those granted to have ears to hear it (Ps.18:19; 31:8; 66:12; 118:5; 89:5; 149:1; 138:1; Rev.14:3; 15:3,4).

Most do not recognize the hour of their being visited / inspected, nor the ruin upon the people of God (Luke19:42,43,44; Jer.13:17; Rev.13:10,7; Prov.4:19; Hosea 4:5,6; Rev.11:18; Matt.13:15; Rev.8:13). They are too intoxicated to be roused to their senses (Ps.60:3; Jer.51:7; Nahum 3:4; Rev.18:23; 17:2; Isa.47:9,12; 1Thess.5:6,7,8,9,3).
So do not expect that the Great Tribulation and Armageddon will be recognized by those without spiritual perception (1Cor.2:10,12,13,14,15).
  ("Armageddon - What is it?")
     (Search Results)
        (greatest-tribulation-why)
When this battle, sifting, and harvest are completed and the end of God's Judgment has finally been accomplished (1Cor.15:24; Dan.7:22,18), then we will rejoice!
