For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. [23] And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Matthew 17:1-2 KJV
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, [2] And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

And tonight I want to take it from a little different standpoint. In the Old Testament we read of the placing, or the adoption of a child. When a child was born into a family, that didn’t make him yet a heir of all things. And I think that’s where most people today make their mistake. I think that’s where the Pentecostal people made a mistake, if you’ll pardon the—the rude saying. There’s where the Methodist made a mistake, the Lutherans, it’s where we’ve all made a mistake. 58-0126 – Hear Ye Him Rev. William Marrion Branham
64 It’s God’s pleasure to do His will, adopting, placing. Now what’s He doing? Placing His Church.

Just the same, God’s moving. He’s placing His Church.

53 Well, now if this son is a good son, then one day we have what we call in the Scripture in the Old Testament, a placing of a son. Or it’s called sometimes, “the law of adoption.” Now, this same son that was born into the family, and he never…he came…His—his name’s no good on the check. We call it like that. His name’s no good out there yet. He’s never had the law of adoption done to him yet.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; [2] But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 KJV
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 5:25 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
