YOU HAVE WALKED UP AND DOWN IN THE MIDST OF THE STONES OF FIRE. Eze. 28:14 He was comfortable and felt at home as he strolled through the environment of the God. The God who is a blazing fire and His anointed are stones of fire. Heaven is a place of the exceeding great glory of the presence of the Lord. Isaiah saw the throne of the Lord and remarked that the house was filled with smoke. Not a choking, nauseating smoke but an atmosphere created by the fiery presence of the Lord of glory. Isaiah saw the throne of glory. Isa. 6:4 The presence around that throne was so sacred and holy that he cried out like the leper, unclean. He was sanctified by a coal of fire, from the altar before the throne, touching his lips. Isa. 6:5-7 Ezekiel saw the throne of fire. Eze. 1:27 The face of the Lord Jesus on the mount of transfiguration shone as the fire and glory of the sun. Mt. 17:2 As the mighty messenger, John saw, the future event when He will descend from heaven and His face will shine as the sun and His feet will be as fire. Rev. 10:1 As Isaiah confessed his sinfulness when he saw the Lord of Glory, so with any true revival, there must first be conviction of our sinfulness and then the burning, purging, purifying power of the fire of the Lord. The baptism of the Spirit is more than speaking in tongues, it is a baptism of the fire of the Lord. Luke 3:16 On the day of Pentecost there was a visible evidence of the descending fire. It is not necessary that there be a repetition of that particular sign, outwardly, but it is an imperative that the baptism be a baptism of fire which will sanctify the vessel being filled. Acts 2:3 How else can His ministers be made a flaming fire? Heb. 1:7.
Once again, it is the enemy from within. Satan was well acquainted with all that went on in the presence of the Lord. He liked what he saw and desired to be like the Most High. Isa. 14:14 Judas was no stranger to the life style and ministry of the Lord Jesus. He was their treasurer and held the bag. He also objected, so he was a dissenter, to the use of such costly ointment being used by Mary to anoint the feet of Jesus. His excuse was that it should have been sold and its gain be given to the poor. The poor being mainly himself for that would have put more in the bag for him to steal, for he was a thief. John 12:3-6 Jesus knew from the beginning of His choice that Judas would betray Him. John 6:70 Nevertheless, Judas became one with them and not only beheld all the mighty works of the Lord Jesus but was a partaker of them and was sent forth to minister to the people. Acts 1:17 He held the position of an Apostle. Acts 1:25 He is also given the title son of perdition. John 17:12 The second coming of Christ will not take place until the man of sin, the son of perdition, the antichrist is revealed.
2 Thess. 2:3 First things first. Wake up church or be deceived by the antichrist. Yes, it is just that serious.
