Does Gideons band foreshadow the manifestation of the Sons of God????

  Hi Guy's,
 
  As I have read and contemplated the theme of Rom 8:19. The manifestation of the Sons of God..... I have been lead to look for more clues regardding what this event might be like..... Here's what I've come up with.  The story of Gideon seems to foreshadow this event...Here's why I say this.  In the story, Gideon and his men are instructed to take torches and pitchers ( Vessels of clay) they were instructed to put the torches inside the pitchers. At the sound of the trumpet they were instructed to brake the pitchers thereby revealing the torches within.  I have found verses that clearly use clay vessels or pottery to represent the physical body Ps 31:12, Rom 9:21, 2Cor 4:7.  There are also verses that would seem to describe our glorified state as flaming fire (Ps 104:4 together with Isa 61:6) also Heb 1:7. It's easy to see how the story of Gideon could represent the manifestation of the Sons of God. The fire hidden by the clay vessel which will be revealed when the clay vessel is broken at the sound of the trumpet ( Like the last trumpet). In 1Cor 15:52 it says that we "will be changed in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump."  What do you guy's think??

Hi Harry,

Is this something you have been discussing before, when did you make that connection.
I guess my question is, is this teaching you have had before?.

Here is a link to an older thread: http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,7656.msg60982.html#msg60982

 Hi George,

  No.... I have never heard anyone teach on this. I have some more thoughts regardding this subject and how it MIGHT relate to ruling over the nations with a rod of iron and also the LOF. I decided to wait and see how this was received before adding any more.

  Thank you Rodger,

  Although all of the words you highlighted and all of the points you made...had absolutely nothing to do with the comparison I was making, it did however bring out another valid point of the story and the spiritual application of it.  And it provided me with another piece of the puzzle which is rapidly filling in. Thank you again for your help.

  Well....I guess this topic was old ground too.. I just read a post from months ago that covered this very same idea. It was intitled principal wheat and appointed barley. Well...At least it gave me confirmation.
