Moving and finishing up the awesome chapter of Revelation 4. Revelation means to uncover/uncover/reveal the end-times truth to us. Keeping our lamps burning. Just like no one turns of the light to read the Bible. We need to put it into true and real application keeping those lamps lighted to the world. Never turn it off :)
(Revelation 4:5-11) "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
7 of course always stands for Holy Spiritual completion in the positive sense when used. Used in the negative for example when 7 more wicked spirits come to those who do not put on the Gospel Armour/Armour of God; Luke 11:14-26.
Here are the 7 Spirits of God. They are not to be confused with Isaiah 11. Why? That pertained to Christ' first coming on earth in which the Holy Spirit gives us because of Christ, through Christ, and for Christ. Them are all inclusive to us now through one Spirit, that is the Holy Spirit. It does not add up to 7 as well.
These 7 Spirits represent Christ' completion in victory. They can be found here, and we'll look at them deeper again in the next chapter.
(Revelation 5:12) "Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing."
So you see it is after the crucifixion.
Moving on...
Lightning not because God wants to "zap people." But, because He is the light. Which also represents His speed, the speed of light as He is the creator of the light. Thunders God's power in voice in decibels. Notice God uses the two of the most physical things we can relate to concerning speed and sound. He knew that before so and so scientist. He is the author of Science. I also like to point out being changed in a twinkling of an eye is the speed of sound as Christ comes like lightning at the 7th trumpet. Matthew 24:27; I Corinthians 15:50-55; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 11:15. All the same timing.
To Revelation 4:6,
6And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
(Moving on: Sea of glass as purity only stand before God. "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (able to stand in front of Him and Him be proud of them for the job they do) The four living one's here actually and not beasts. Oppose the world's system here in that: 4 is each direction, and all inclusive within each direction. Overall here, what is shown is nobody better make a move towards God's throne as they are protecting it, seeing and hearing all things always on watch. He is the God of the living, not the dead. Remember, overall when Babylon, the whore queen sold (over the waters/sea = the people) out to satan the king of Babylon thinking the true God is not watching. satan has filled her mind she don't need the true God, not watching, and she has everything in life she needs being totally Holy Spiritually deprived and depraved. Hence she sits as a queen. High-minded, satan fills people's hearts and then minds that they are really not worshiping him because it is self-serving flesh, on top of the world in their own mind).
This should be crystal clear (y)
I always encourage people when studying Revelation and all of God's Word when is seeing a positive or negative verse pertaining to the subject there will be the polar opposite as long as we're in this world as well.
7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
This can also be seen through God's people in that the tribes of Israel the Lion was always Judah to the east. The south was the tribe with the "man's face", Reuben; West was the ox; representing Ephraim; Dan, the north side with "the eagle". In a later study with the 4 living one's here in Revelation 5 we're going to look at what them represent in depth. They of course overall mean protection from outside to within in all 4 directions.
8And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
(Just like the cherubim. The numbers are very significant here of course. Six is man's number and man is not getting away with anything here. For God's people to know, understand that He is in control. This is so important as man then satan try to control the world and without Him increasingly. Wings of course indicate flying over from above. In Daniel 7 if you add up the 4 beast wings there you will come to 6 in the negative. Building to the one world system/new world order. Please look me up there).
3 Holy's here. Representing the Resurrection and the power of Christ to our Father, for our Father. Yeshua the Mashiach, the image of the invisible God, in the flesh. All power because He overcame for us. To show us the way and get it done, following in His "footsteps."
9And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
(Yes, AMEN).
10The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
(Casting the crowns a show of who they are giving all power too. Man ought to take thought that is the 24 elders are doing so, they ought to as well. Stop trying to control what they cannot control, "kinging and queening" themselves. If a show of the 24 elder doing so don't help, nothing will).
11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
(See the importance here? Because on the large scale the world wants our Father through Christ gone, done away with, nothing to do with Him. Evolution has filled the minds of many with doubt. Many kids go to church then school in confusion. We ought to be teaching Genesis 1 properly. The earth is not 6k years old. And silly old men who think they are theologians need to take heed. The jig is up there just as God Word says. Willingly ignorant; II Peter 3:3-7. We can all look around and tell that is not true just there, but then turn a blind eye continuing on. That also of course NOT Noah's flood as have extensively been through. satan rebelled in the first age. We need Bible teachers in the worst way. If needed refer to the Genesis 1:1-2 study in the archive. Them same ought to be driven to learn the awesome book of Revelation as well).
Key here as well. You were created for God's pleasure. He loves you, but we must love Him for what He came to do for us, showing us the way. Also, making this world a "better" place while we're here. As the light to the world through the Holy Spirit.
AMEN.
