women, servants and handmaidens. During the ministry of Christ on earth, the Holy Spirit dwelt in
the Son of God and enabled Him as a Man to perform a great ministry, but in this age, the Spirit may
dwell in every son of God throughout the world. The blessings of spiritual showers have been great
throughout this age because of the presence of the Holy Spirit dwelling in and operating through the
many sons of God in many parts of the earth.
VI. The Spirit's Ministry in the Millennium
We learn that the ministry of the Spirit will have an ascending climax in the Millennium. There
will be not only a filling, but an outpouring and overflowing, and an outflowing of the Spirit. In this
gospel age, by reason of the absence of the Saviour and the presence of the Spirit, there have been
showers of blessing (Acts 2:33), but in the Millennium, there will be the presence of the Saviour, the
glorified church, and also that of the Spirit in a manifold manner. This will account for far superior
blessings being poured out (Acts 3:19-21). In the Millennium, the Spirit's presence and blessing will
be enjoyed universally, individually, collectively, nationally, spiritually, and materially. He will rest
on the glorious King, dwell in the glorified church, dwell in redeemed Israel, rest on the converted
Gentile nations, and on the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms. This will be the glorious,
golden, singing, and rejoicing age.
VII. The Spirit's Ministry in Eternity
We know very little concerning the eternal ages to come. The ministry of the Trinity will continue
through eternity. God will rest in a finished redemption and a new creation wherein will dwell
eternal righteousness. There will be positive blessings such as eternal joy and righteousness, joy
without sorrow, life without death, and peace without strife. There will be negative blessings, such
as no tears, no death, no sorrow, no crying, no pain, and no curses. God does not give an entire or
complete revelation of Himself to men at one time. In the first place, this is not God's method, nor
would it be best for men for Him to do so, neither would men be capable of receiving such a full
revelation of God. From the methods of God's operations in the past, we are led to assume that in
the ages to come, God's blessings will be infinitely better than the joys and glories of the
Millennium. We read, "That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in
his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:7). From this Scripture, we learn that there will
be a continued revelation of the great riches of His grace. God never recedes, but proceeds, and
succeeds. The Spirit is the Agent through Whom the revelation of God will come to men.
In eternity, the saints are not going to be idle, but will perform a glorified service. The church,
which is the bride, will become the Lamb's wife after the coming of Christ. She also is designated
as the body of Christ and Christ as the Head. When Christ comes, the Head and body will be united
to become the one new man" and the "perfect man" referred to in Ephesians 2:15 and 4:13. The
Lamb's wife will be taken into the unity and partnership of Christ, and as it were, become the fourth
party in the Trinity, but will not attain to the height of the nature and position of Deity. In this present
age, the Head (Christ) works through the body (the church) in the accomplishment of God's purpose.
This is done through the power and operation of the Holy Spirit. The Head plans the work and
accomplishes it through the body. In the eternal ages to come, God will have a plan for each age.
Evidently in keeping with God's methods, He will work through Christ and since the church will be
