Living Creatures

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1

How many today are seeing their king Uzziah dying? Now lets not look at this king Uzziah with the carnal mind, the letter. But lets see king Uzziah in the light of Him. See 'Uzziah' means 'the Strength of God.' And many have God's strength rather than God Himself. It is the death of this king Uzziah that one will cry out as the Prophet ""...Woe is me! for I am undone; because I AM A MAN of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the KING, the LORD of hosts." Isaiah 6:5

No longer walking according to the strength of the King but now beholding the King, the LORD of HOSTS!

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he LIFTED UP HIS EYES and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

And he said, Nay; but as captain of the HOST of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is HOLY. And Joshua did so. Joshua 5:13-15

When the LORD is seen, the greatest of men are not immune to being humbled.

And God said unto Moses "Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is HOLY ground." Exodus 3:5

When Ezekiel saw the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. He "fell upon his face, and I heard a voice of one that spake." Ezekiel 1:28

When the Lord spoke unto Jeremiah the Prophet said "Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child." Jeremiah 1:6

However the Lord did not the Prophet think of himself as a child that can not speak for the Lord said unto him ... Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Then the LORD put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth." Jeremiah 1:7,9

It was the Word of the Lord that caused both Jeremiah and Isaiah to have trouble with their mouth! Just as today many have trouble with the words of their mouths when they hear the living Word from Him.

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. John 5:25

See the dead are not in the grave but are they who have NOT the life of the Word in them.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; ... That which we have SEEN and HEARD declare we unto you, that ye also may have FELLOWSHIP with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:1,3

Yes! All that hear the Word of life shall truly be in fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

For the mouth of the one that has trouble is the one that sees it is but the heart that has trouble. For the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. It was but the live coal that purged the heart of its deceitfulness and wickness!

These burning coals of fire shall destroy the old and ushered in the new, and soon at the close of the church age shall they do likewise once again.

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" 1 Corinthians 2:9

As one progresses deeper into Christ, that one will see more and more of God’s wondrous glory, and all who see and hear will be tremendously changed.

But we all, with OPEN FACE beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18

No longer will one depend upon their own understanding but will see as He sees for His sight is perfect as He is!

"And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and SEVEN EYES, which are the SEVEN SPIRITS OF God sent forth INTO ALL the EARTH." Revelation 5:6

Seven speaks of fullness, completion, perfection. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it without marring it. Hence the word Shavath, to cease, desist, rest; and Shabbath, Sabbath, or day of rest. It is Seven, therefore, that stamps perfection and completion to the things it is connected with: Of time, it tells of the Sabbath, and marks off the week of seven days. Seven completes the colors of the spectrum and rainbow. (ref. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance & Theological Word Book of the Old Testament).

We can see that the eyes of the cherubim, seraphim, living creatures, and those of the Lamb are all the same. They are THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF of the Living God manifested INTO ALL the EARTH."

Behold His plan for the end of the age and for the ages to come! "These that have turned the world upside down"

The Church as an infant was glorious; but just wait until it is of age!

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:14

The living creatures had wings, multiple eyes, and voices, and in the Old Testament the living creatures were of fire and it is easily seen that they speak of the refining process they went through. They were judged and found worthy to become flaming creatures of God, for their fiery appearance also speaks of the world coming into judgment at their presence. The wings, indicate their dominion and authority in realms higher than any of the earth and their habitation is in the heavens.

Their power and authority are spiritual, and the living creatures are full of eyes which are the fullness of the Spirit of God going throughout the earth.

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:18-20
