🦋 REACH FOR THE THRONE





PRAYER - "What Happens When You Reach For The Throne?"

God called the man in linen to approach the throne of God. "Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims." One cherub reached into the fire and handed the coals to the man. Immediately, the glory of God filled the place. When you boldly reach for the throne, your life will be filled with the glory of God.

Ezekiel 10:3-4 - "When the man went in; ...the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory."

PRINCIPALS - "The Living Creature And The Throne"

You can get lost in the details of Ezekiel 10. The firmament, the cherubims, the throne on a sapphire stone foundation, the glory cloud, the man in linen, the wheels, the coals of fire, the threshold of the temple. Ezekiel observed a complex multi-creatured living creature that forms the chariot of God's throne, lifting up toward the East. As Judah was carried off to Babylon, God prepared to leave Jerusalem, too. This was a rare glimpse at the holiest site in the universe.

Ezekiel 10:20 - "This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar."

PRINCIPLES - "A Wheel In The Middle Of The Wheel"

The concept of wheels within wheels is generally perceived to refer to secrets behind a façade. Some truths are outward - they are obvious. Other truths are inner, concealed truths. Such is certainly the case about God. Countless great truths can be seen and known about God. But for every observable truth, there is an infinite supply of hidden truths. Hence, the wheels beneath God's throne depict all truth, seen and unseen. His throne is undergirded by infinite truth - both revealed and hidden.

Ezekiel 1:16 - "Their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel."


PROPHECIES - "Coals Of Fire And Sparkling Ice"

The creatures which transport the throne of God move like lightning. Four beryl-colored (blue-green) wheels, full of eyes, beneath four cherubim, all move and function as one. The spirit of the living creature was even in the wheels. They held up a firmament of "terrible crystal," possibly translated "sparkling ice (CEV)," with a sapphire blue pavement supporting the throne. Below it, between the wheels was coals of fire. God's carriage appears to be a random sampling of everything He has created.


Ezekiel 11:22 - "...and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."




Proverbs 31 ⤴️
