Revelation 4:1-8: After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirit of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”
Greetings to you all. This is the first part of a two-part message I would like to share. It is quite long hence why I am doing it in two parts. Kindly bear with me and please read through it all and pray on it as well. This message is also the written version of the audio message recently sent out.
Today in prayer as I came before the throne of God as I usually do, it was different. When you read the book of Revelation chapter 4, John is caught up to the throne of God and he begins to describe it. He talks about how God is seated on the throne and what surrounds Him- he sees the twenty four thrones that surround God which the twenty four elders are seated; there are flashes of lightning and thunder form the throne. At the front of the throne are the seven burning torches which is the sevenfold Spirit of God. In front of the throne is a shiny sea of glass sparkling like crystal. In the center and around the throne are the four living beings, each covered with eyes front and back. The first was like a lion, the second was like an o, the third had a human face and the fourth was like an eagle in flight.
So this is the description I envision as I pray only that behind the throne are thousands of angles singing and this is always so real as I pray. But before I talk about the throne experience today, let us look at the scene before Ezekiel in chapter 1 of the book of Ezekiel:
Ezekiel 1
1 In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.2 On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin— 3 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. There the hand of the LORD was on him.
4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. 10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning. 15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. 19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault, sparkling like crystal, and awesome. 23 Under the vault their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. 24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty,[b] like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25 Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
As Ezekiel sees this vision, in (Ezekiel 2:1-10) a voice speaks to him and we know it is God because His Spirit comes into Ezekiel as He spoke. God was sending him to the nation of Israel because they had rebelled against Him. He was given a scroll to eat which was covered on both sides with funeral songs. Words of sorrow and pronouncements of doom. It was not good news:
Ezekiel 2:1-10
He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.” 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. 3 He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day. 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says.’ 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious people—they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people. 7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” 9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
So today in prayer as I was before the throne of God, the angels that I usually see singing, now had trumpets in their mouths like they were about to blow them. There was thunder as well even with the halo rainbow still there. In Ezekiel’s vision, he saw a great storm with flashes of lightning and inside the cloud was fire. The four living beings before God had fiery eyes which has never been the case in previous times. The twenty four elders were also in red, yet they are usually in white. I usually see Jesus standing at the right hand of God in white and a gold sash, which I have seen Him in before, many years back when I had an out of body experience and He was standing outside my window at home with His arms outstretched. This time as He stood next to the Father, He was in a red robe with a gold sash and His eyes were also fiery. Holy Spirit is on the left side of God in red but usually He is in white with very brilliant light coming out of Him. Father on the throne is blazing with bright light just as He usually does. Arch Angel Michael is also present which is a first, as he has never been present. The crystal like sea glass before the throne is also red. The seven burning torches are there too.
So What Does All these Mean?
So as I was praying in the Holy Ghost, the Lord Jesus began to say that His judgments are about to fall and that is why I was seeing red all around the throne and the fiery eyes. Red means judgment, fire also means judgment and this one was not the refining fire of purification but of judgment for purification has already happened. Red also means bloodshed because His judgments will bring about death. He will allow the enemy to do what he must do and this will bring about lots and lots of death. What is interesting is that as I came before the Lord in prayer today, I put on red. The lord knew what He would be revealing to me this day.
The Lord said, as Satan is preparing to unleash havoc upon the earth, heaven is not preparing to stop him because it will be given to him for a time to rule this world. So what heaven is preparing to do now is to release the Remnant Saints that will war against Satan and this is why Jesus had on a red robe with a golden sash. Red of course still depicting judgment because we have entered that window, but gold also to show that the Saints being used are not just anyone, but those who have been through their fiery furnace of trials and have been tried and tested, and have come out as gold, pure and ready. (1 Peter 1:6-7).
1 Peter 1:6-7
6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
So this scene before me is not a judgment being announced because warnings upon warnings have gone out. But it is now time for the judgments to be poured forth, the time for pronouncing them has come to an end. It is also time for the Saints to be transformed to a mighty army that will rise above the chaos to save many souls. The scene Ezekiel beheld was followed with a message of judgment. The scroll he was given had funeral songs, words of sorrow and pronouncements of judgment that will lead to the death of many.
Now this time, He thunders not with words, but you will now see the judgments play out before you. God is again going to thunder from the mountain of judgment like He did in Moses time, so and He will shake the heavens and the earth so that all that can be shaken will fall.
Hebrews 12:18-21
18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19 to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
Hebrews 12:25-29
25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[ 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”
This is a huge call and cry for us to repent, to turn to the Lord and purify ourselves because these judgments will find us where we are at with the Lord. His judgments will begin with His house, those who have known His truths.
It is also a call to those who don’t believe to put their TRUST in Jesus, to turn away from the world which is ruled by Satan and to believe in God. Confess your sins and turn to God and He will forgive you. There is no other covering you have other than Jesus in these times and in what is coming.
