EZEKIEL

25
That God would chose to reveal Himself in the physical body of a man, the man Christ Jesus, is an amazing thing. 1 Tim. 2:5 Fallen man stood in dire need of a mediator, a contact between the Lord and himself. The one who is the eternal Word voluntarily, because of the great love of the Lord, and offered Himself to become a man, to be the only sacrifice acceptable to God. In this manner He restored fellowship between fallen man and a Holy God. 1 Tim. 2:6 That Word, in His eternal status was not flesh and blood, but was an eternal Spirit. John 1:14 The substance, the composition, the make up of that which is spiritual is greatly different from that of man. The physical body of man is mortal and will die, thus returning to the dust of which it was created. The spirit is eternal and like the Lord will exist forever, either in heaven or hell.

God is a Spirit. The true Spirit. The eternal, everlasting Spirit. John 4:24 That makes the spiritual realm to be of far greater value and importance than the natural world in which we live. The spiritual world is invisible to the natural eye. Nevertheless, the Lord has chose to reveal His character by placing a witness and testimony of who and what He is in all of His creation. Rom. 1:20 There are many things in this created world which show us the singleness of the Lord while at the same time manifesting His triunity. The most common of them all is the ultimate of His creation, mankind. We were created in the image and likeness of the Godhead. Gen. 1:26 The Lord, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit in making mankind created a triune being. One who is body, soul and spirit. 1 Thess. 5:23 Thus giving us a perfect and constant example of the being and nature of the Lord, who is one, yet three, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The reason Ezekiel saw one, a man sitting on the throne, Eze. 1:26 is the same with John in the Revelation. Rev. 4:2 Paul stated that Jesus was the image of the invisible God. Col. 1:15 So exact and perfect was He in His image of the Father that He was able to say that if man had seen Him, they had seen the Father. John 6:46 He is the visible temple of the invisible God, whom no man has seen, nor can see. However, through the revelation of the Word, all that the Lord is, may be plainly seen. The Lord Jesus is the physical, resurrected and glorified house of the Spiritual being known as God. Forever, permanently abiding in Him is to be found the fullness, all that the Lord is and ever will be, the eternal Godhead. Col. 2:9 Most assuredly the eternal things of Him are clearly made visible.
