"The Manifestation of the Sons of God"--the revealing of Genesis chapter one--is one of the most important subjects in the entire Bible, so important that the apostle Paul stated in the book of Romans that all creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. This book can help readers come face to face with the great destiny like never before. (Social Issues)

Sons of God have grown in the Lord, and they are no more babies, infants, or boys; and sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. They obey the Word of God and have close relationship with God. They know God and understand His Will and Ways. We are supposed to be different from the people of the world, and we are supposed to prove to them that we are the Offsprings of God and carry the ability that they don't carry. To begin with, we should not speak the way they speak: even if things seem to be hopeless, we should speak forth words of faith. As we demonstrate the Spirit and power, and live supernaturally and extra-ordinarily, we show the world that we are the sons of God. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glory your Father in Heaven.

In this visionary and ground-breaking book, Bill Britton describes the "unfolding revelation of Jesus Christ in His Sons," the corporate Body of Christ on earth, and provides a tantalizing glimpse of a new dimension of ministry not yet fully manifested where the Sons of God will break through "the veil" of the Holy of Holies into the full experience of Sonship. We know this is true because Jesus, the Pattern Son, has already entered into this realm as our Forerunner, and where Jesus goes, His Sons will follow. In six concise and compelling chapters, the author presents a stunning picture of a "ministry without limitation" that will be entered into by fully mature Sons of God. This soon-to-be-revealed ministry will operate in a new dimension beyond justification and Holy Spirit baptism, the first two crucial steps; a realm of life and restoration, for which all creation yearns. Jesus Himself, in His deity and humanity, brought a taste of heaven to earth and revealed His plan to share His glory with "a Company of Sons conformed to His image." Jesus is the 41st generation from King David in Matthew chapter one. This Company of Sons is the 42nd generation, with whom and through whom He will rule over all things.

John 1:12-13 states: "But as many as received Him, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." What must we do to become a member of the Corporate Body Of Christ? In this writing, we delve into the various teachings through scripture, the facets of this many membered Tabernacles of believers who seek His face to have an intimate relationship with the Most High God. This relationship is face-to-face fellowship to learn of HIS HIGHER WAYS and walk in them if we so desire. This is an act of our free will choice, to be obedient to His voice if we so desire. We are on a road from a sinner to a completed saint who is freed from sin by Yeshua's completed work on the cross. We must put His living seed word, His written word, in our hearts and let it germinate growing into His DEVINE IMAGE AS AN OVERCOMER OF ALL SIN "IF" we will HOLD OUT PATIENTLY TO THE END of our total deliverance experientially. This overcoming life can only come about through fellowshipping with the Most High God as He pours out His wisdom into our being so in the end, He can fill us with His glory as He did both tabernacles of Moses and Solomon when they were completed. This is all in His timing as He moves in and through us as we move toward Him in Spirit and in Truth.

In Jesus The Pattern Son, Bill Britton presents the stunning premise that the life of Jesus in His humanity on earth sets a divine pattern for the endtime body of Christ, the Church. In this day when Christians are focused so much on signs and wonders, the author reminds us that Jesus Himself is God's greatest sign of all. This sign was given when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but will be fulfilled in its completeness with the endtimes manifestation of the mature sons of God, when the "many-membered" body of Christ, the Church, receives the anointing of the Spirit "without measure," and walks in the power and authority of the Lord Himself. In that day will be fulfilled in the saints what Paul called "the riches of the glory of this mystery...which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col. 1:27).While many Christians futilely await a "Rapture" that will take them far away from the travails of the earth, God actually has a far better plan. While the "children of darkness" are swept away in judgment, the "children of light" will be "entering into the day of God's glory, the unveiling of His power and majesty in the human flesh of His body, the Church." A glorious destiny awaits those who will press forward to enter into the fullness of mature sons of God.

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.
