The Divine Dynasphere is opportunity for the dispensation of the Church only.

Principles:
1. The relationship between Phase Two of God’s plan and Phase Three – the Rapture of the Church.
2. The Rapture is immanent and could occur at any time.
3. However, the immanency of the Rapture does not change our modus operandi, for even if you knew that the Rapture would occur tomorrow you should carry on as usual inside the divine dynasphere. The key is to live the plan of God, to continue your momentum right up until the day you die or the Rapture occurs, whichever comes first.
4. Therefore our responsibility is not to do something stupid like stop paying our bills because the Rapture appears to be near,
but to continue to reside and function inside of the Divine Dynasphere..
it has not appeared as yet what we shall be

We shall not all look the same, but we will have the same nature, similar, of the same kind. In Attic Greek, “appeared” Gr. faneroo (φανερόω) is used for men of the same mind or party, but each person looked different, had a different personality, and had a different status in life.

we shall be like Him,
We shall be like Him, but we certainly will not be equal to Him. Christ has furnished the means of having association with Him by the Rapture or resurrection. He has provided us a resurrection body similar to His own.

Principle: We as believers of the Church Age, royal family of God, will be similar to Christ in His resurrection body because we have the ability to see Him and be with Him. This apparently explains that difference in resurrection body. Those who log maximum time in the divine dynasphere are going to have a superior resurrection body.
because we shall see Him just as He is.
But even for Christians, the perception of seeing Christ now is a spiritual one. Though now we are children of God, there is no physical evidence of this that an eye can see. The physical changes in Christians await the coming of Christ.

But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him (cf. 1 Cor. 15:52–54; Phil. 3:21). Such a transformation will result from seeing Him as He is. But pending that event it is already true that everyone who has this hope in Him, (the pronoun probably refers to Christ, the Object of this hope) purifies himself, just as He is pure. Here the writer probably continued to refer to the new birth. One who sets his hope by faith on the Son of God experiences an inward purification that is as complete as Christ’s own purity (“just as He is pure”).
