To comprehend it, one must first examine the God of the Bible. As an analyst and a
journalist I often step back and view God as He is presented in the Bible and
not as He has been stereotyped. As I study Scripture, I am often struck by the
esoteric and peculiar nature of the God presented in the Bible. Too often our image of God is who we think
He should be and how we think He should act.
The reality is that the unusual God presented in the Bible is
incomprehensible and not fully understood by our finite minds. It makes logical sense that we as humans are
only possible of having limited comprehension of Him.
Many times we read the
Bible and accept its words without thinking twice about the voice of God that
speaks through them and what they tell us about His person. The Scriptures tell us that His ways are not
our ways or His thoughts our thoughts and this is evident as we examine God as
He is presented in Scripture.
First and foremost God
chooses to speak to us through the Bible, which is His word.
The God of the universe who created the
galaxies and all life on this earth chose to leave a book and not just any
writings, but His word, written through various writers, which would possess
attributes of no other books or writings.
It was written over 1500
years, by 40 different authors and yet the language and theme are consistent
from Genesis to Revelation. We see in
the book, an esoteric God whose ways defy human reasoning. The language of the book is not only
primitive, but possessing peculiar lingo, not uttered anywhere else at any time
in history.
The Bible itself is a
supernatural book. In addition, the words in the book have properties that no
other books possess in that they are dimensional.
The parallel universe
described in its pages has the feel of a Sci Fi thriller, an episode of the
Twilight Zone, Star Trek, a video game theme, an action adventure, all in one.
It takes you nowhere your mind has gone, or will possibly ever go. Another
words you can’t think up or imagine what is in the parallel dimension the Bible
describes because it defies our limited logic.
It does not exist in a faraway galaxy, but rather alongside our physical
Earth in the air. It is also way beyond
our science because science is not even close to discovering it.
It begins with God
Himself. In the books of the prophets we see Him depicted in His throne room
and we know that He has the image of a man and possesses emotions. Yet He is
also described as a force of nature. In
the new heaven and the new earth that He will create, we see that God provides
the light, so there is no need of the sun. His voice is like thunder and of the
sound of roaring waves.
Before God’s throne are
seven spirits, and four living creatures, one looking like a lion, the other a
calf, the other a man and the final one an eagle with feet that look like
calves feet. These do not have the
ability to turn but only to walk in a forward or backward direction and they
move at the speed of light, like flashes of lightening. Each has six wings with
two wings stretching upward, two wings touching each other and the other two
wings covering their bodies. They each have eyes covering them. Beside each
creature are large wheels with rims that are covered with eyes. Everywhere the
creatures go the wheels follow them.
The spirit of the creatures is in these large wheels. As their wings move they make the sound of an
army, and the roar of an ocean.
These winged beings
praise God saying, “Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!” They reside above and
below the throne. The throne itself
shines with the brilliance of a rainbow and He who sits on it while appearing
as a man, also appears like the sun with its amber color and fire. His throne
is described within a temple and the train of his robe fills the temple. Within the temple is a golden altar, with
tongs, and coal and fire.
In the Revelation we
learn that around the throne are 24 elders.
We see Him who sits on the throne holding a scroll sealed with seven
seals. We also see Jesus, depicted in
linen and a golden girdle, and His head and hair glisten white. God’s temple is filled with smoke from His
glory and power. As He speaks we hear
noises and thunder, and we see flashes of lightening. When the scroll is opened and only the Lamb
of God is worthy to open it, we see Him open the seven seals and seven
judgments are released onto the Earth, but the seventh seal releases the seven
angels with the seven trumpet judgments and the seventh angel releases the
seven bowl judgement.
If you liked this information and found it informative:
I have a small request. Many read my website and the
information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles
are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally
pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without
millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get.
Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the
hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge
fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to
all. So I am requesting your help.
