VISION OF THE THRONE ROOM – Part 1

I have pondered where and how to share the information I am about to share with you all. This is something the Holy Spirit has been revealing to me since May 2020. This was five months prior to Him having me write down the wisdom of Yah as it pertains to the Beatitudes. This revelation is nothing new, beloved. This has been revealed for millenniums and is again being revealed to this generation’s remnant.  I realize that I may be a little slow to the revelation but I am certain there are many others who have ears to hear. You may enjoy listening to the podcast as you read this post.

All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing. What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.… (Ecclesiastes 1:8-10)

Yeshua had me in the book of Ezekiel, specifically the first 3 chapters, for about a month in May 2020. If you are familiar with the book of Ezekiel, you know this is the vision Yahweh gave to him about the throne room and the four living creatures. I spent a few hours each day going over and over the scriptures to glean whatever revelation the Holy Spirit would reveal. It required my reading, studying, researching, listening, and receiving. It was mind boggling to say the least. I knew that in order to understand what the Spirit of Truth was wanting to reveal, Proverbs 2 was the treasure map I would need to follow. Yeshua even gave me a very detailed dream where I was sitting in a classroom with Him and He was teaching me every mystery within Ezekiel 1 and 2; and at the end of the dream, He told me to share it with a friend I haven’t seen since 2006 when I lived in California. I was obedient and shared the dream with my friend and sister in Christ. However, even then I was not able to receive all the Spirit was wanting to reveal…until recently. 

The first thing Yeshua said was for me to look at chapters 1 and 2 as ingredients to a recipe. If you’ve read some of our blogs, sat through any classes/teachings, you’ve read or heard me say, “think of this as a recipe and the ingredients required to make a satisfying savory dish.” If we leave out a key ingredient, we are not going to have the desired flavor intended. Yeshua is the bread of life. He is our savory dish and He provides every ingredient (precept/principle/revelation of His word) we need for fullness, satisfaction, abundance, and completeness in Him. Yeshua is the new wine and we are to be His new wine skin…a new creation in Him. 

After several weeks of going through the first two chapters in Ezekiel, the Holy Spirit said, “Now turn the page to Chapter 3 and eat the scroll.” What? There it is right in front of our very eyes and yet my eyes had not perceived the enormity of the need to understand the ingredients of Yahweh’s recipe before being able to eat the scroll. May 2020 was an incredible year and spiritual boost for me and my relationship with Yahweh, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. 

Many Christians have a hard time understanding how important the spiritual realms are and how 99% of everything we do is spiritual. Many admit that we are a spirit and soul inside a physical body; but to understand that the body is just that—A body (that which is housing who we really are—Spiritual beings) is a stretch many just are not willing to go there. This mindset is Satan’s plan to keep us from the things of Yahweh. My prayer is that after hearing what I am about to share, you will have better understanding and a deep desire to get to know your Creator better and more intimately. 

Let’s start with the New Testament in Revelation 4, and then we’ll jump back to Ezekiel 1 and connect the two together as ONE.

For context, just as Ezekiel was given a vision of the throne room of Yahweh, in Revelation the Apostle John was also taken up in the Spirit and given a vision of the throne room of Yahweh. Chapter 4’s vision is after John was given seven letters to the seven churches.

For further contextual understanding, the number seven represents Yahweh’s completion/fulfillment/ rest. Yahweh will send His Son for a bride who has made herself ready (see study blogs on the Glorious Church—What Church Are You?) Yeshua is King of Kings. His bride is His Queen (See A People Set Aside) seated by His side in the throne room (many are there today that have made themselves ready). The bride are co-heirs to the throne, a holy nation of peoples, a royal priesthood with King Yeshua the High Priest. Keep this in mind, as these visions were given to men living on earth. They were given the visions for a purpose—that purpose being you and I today to be able to focus on our spiritual relationship with the Three.

The Throne Room of Heaven – Revelation 4

I suggest you read the entire chapter 4 and then see the below breakdown of each verse.

1After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”

Don’t take this lightly!
1) A door standing open = is a portal and place of entrance; where Yahweh meets man, in the spirit realm.

1a) The first voice heard was like a trumpet = a quaking or reverberation; comes from Strong’s exhaustive concordance – Greek word salos.  The voice was like a trumpet, it was not a trumpet.  

1b) When. we come into the Father’s domain (the secret place/before His throne) and experience His presence/spirit/ breath, we feel the emotional quaking and reverberation of His voice. This is a maturing process for it is in His presence that He reveals mysteries we need to know for the time and season we are in and/or headed into.  This is an invitation few choose to accept.

2Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.

John’s relationship was such that he had presented his body as a living sacrifice unto Yahweh, which was his reasonable service and ultimate form of worship (Romans 12:1). His heart was solely for the Father and the Son. He spent the time and didn’t let his earthly circumstances affect his relationship. It is only with our human spirit that we can commune with the Holy Spirit of Yahweh.

2) Spirit = breath, wind, air; breath of the nostrils of God;

2a) Throne = place of supreme power and authority.

3And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 

Our carnal mind tries to grasp a literal visual of the throne room. This verse describes the “HE” who sat there.

3) Jasper and sardius stone = stones of diverse colors; translucent= allowing light to pass through.

3a) Rainbow, in appearance like an emerald. We see the rainbow as seven distinct colors and here it says the rainbow that was around (full circle) the throne was like an emerald. Emerald = A pure verdant primary green hue with a high degree of transparency to be considered a top gemstone. Emeralds also occur in hues from yellow-green to blue-green;member of the Beryl stone. In the gemstone, they are graded by the eye. If there are no visible inclusions, they are considered pure.  Our earthly view of a rainbow represents His promise and reflections of His many facets of purity. All mixed together is ONE brilliant Light.

4Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 

24 = The government of Yahweh duplicated and in operation. The government of Yah is 12 which is His Ruleship or Godly Order. 4) around “The Throne” The Supreme Power or Stately Potentate power were 24 thrones (or seats) = senior counsel. 

12 = Godly order. 12 (Godhead) + 12 (a duplication – person(s) who Yeshua multiplied out of Himself and repeated the pattern of Himself throughout the world. They walk in the repeat of Jesus’ character and deeds.) 

12 + 12 = 24 (senior counsel = they earned their white robes and crowns to sit with him on the throne.) How?

Go back and look at letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3. Those in the lukewarm body of believers (Sleeping church/Laodiceans) must repent and overcome their mindset and beliefs and they will be granted to sit with Yeshua on His throne, as He also overcame and sat down with His Father on His throne. Those in the dead church (Dead church/Sardis) body of believers must repent and overcome their mindset and beliefs and they will be clothed in white garments (His righteousness. Not ours!) and not be blotted out of the book of life. Those in the corrupt church (Sleep-walking/ Sleeping church/Thyatira) body of believers must repent and overcome their mindset and beliefs and they will be given power to rule over nations. Those in the persecuted church and faithful church (Glorious church/Philadelphia & Smyrna) body of believers will be given a crown of life, become a pillar in the temple of God, be given a new name (New Jerusalem). You can see that the mystery is unfolded before our very eyes for those who have ears to hear what the Spirit says to us. We can be those 24 – those who are given the power and authority to rule and reign with Yeshua for the kingdom of God is within us, if we allow Him to rule and reign in and through us. We are called to be seated in heavenly places with Him. Also see the loveless church (Sleepwalking/Ephesus) and compromising church (Dead church/Pergamos).

5And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

5) Lightnings, thunderings, and voices = Yahweh’s decrees, judgments, speech in heaven (from Him, and those He has given to sit with Him).

5a) Seven lamps of fire = the seven Spirits of Yah (Spirit of the Lord, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Counsel, Might, Fear/Reverence – Isaiah 11:1; Proverbs 1 & 2) The seven lamps of fire should be burning within each of us and they are for our paths to be directed in Yah’s holy righteousness, by His seven Spirits (His heavenly rule). They each have a specific purpose for our walk on this earth. Yeshua said that if we seek first the kingdom of Yahweh and His righteousness and ask anything in His name (Yeshua’s), it shall be given to us. These seven spirits should daily be sought and prayed for. Ask and you shall receive. You receive not when you ask because you ask amiss (things that are of this world). 

6Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 

6) Throne = place of stately potentate, supreme rule and power.

6a) Sea of glass, like crystal = a massive foundation of glossy transparency (nothing hidden).

6b) Crystal = A crystal is a solid whose atoms are arranged in a “highly ordered” repeating pattern. These patterns are called crystal systems, which by the way are seven in number. Remember the 24 symbolic/spiritual meaning of duplication of Yeshua and seven being complete, whole/fulfilled, rest. This is all of humanity and the reality that there is nothing hidden from Yahweh. We will all stand before the throne of Yahweh one day for judgement.

6c) Four living creatures (beasts) full of eyes in front and in back = vision, perspective before and behind.

7The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 

7a) Like a Lion = the dominion and power of Yahweh (one of four countenances of His face.) Those who reside/abide in Him day and night, praising Him, will be those spirit beings who are walking in His dominion and power. 

7b) Like a Calf/Ox = burden bearer, priestly duties (one of four countenances of His face.) Yahweh carries the burden of the people, to the point He sent us His Son, the sacrificial lamb (calf/ox) to take on the sins of mankind so that we can have forgiveness of our sins through repentance, and resurrected life through His resurrection from the dead and ascension to the throne room of Yahweh. He bore (and bears) all the burdens of the people. Those who worship and serve Him day and night in Spirit and Truth, praising Him, becoming holy because He is holy, will walk out their sacrificial servant-hood role (royal priestly duties) as a duplicate of our Lord and Savior Yeshua HaMashiach, King and High Priest, after the order of Melchizedek.

7c) Face like a Man = fullness, mature sons. The man face is the face of Adam and Yeshua being the perfect/fulfilled Adam face, or countenance. Just as Yeshua does, so are those who live, abide, and dwell with Yahweh in heavenly places, through Yeshua. Man was made in the image of them! Though in the spirit we do not look like the earthly man we are, we bear His countenance. 

7d) Like a Flying Eagle = Eagle represents Yahweh’s perspective, vision, prophecy, higher ways; Flying = ascending one who quickly moves in the Spirit. For He is the Spirit of Prophecy (Revelation 19:10) This is one of the countenances of His face for those who will be led by the Spirit of Yahweh, where His thoughts and ways are higher than our carnal understanding.

8The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:

“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and us to come.”

8) Six wings = Six is number of man; Wings = feathers,

8b) Around and within = vision, sight (ability to continually be in the spirit, having inward vision (discernment) as well as vision/perspective of things all around. We are to always look inward to the King of Kings)

8c) Do not rest day or night = Be spiritually awake and sober at all times as we know not the hour of Yeshua’s return. 

8d) 24/7 spiritual praise and worship of the One who is holy, pure, blameless, sacred, and consecrated.)

8e) Six wings – One set covering their faces (not about us, only about Yahweh and blinded to everything else) This is the inward worship and communion with Yahweh through Yeshua and Holy Spirit; One set to fly (this is to soar in the Spirit with Yahweh’s perspective, not our own); One set covers the feet (this is the gospel of peace – those shod with Yeshua’s workmanship, not our works. Feet are holy and are to stand on holy ground. Wherever we tread, we are to be ambassadors of His workmanship and Kingdom, in holiness, purity, and sacrifice. For the earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof. (Psalm 24)

9Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

11“You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created.”

10) Cast = throw, lay down.

10a) Crowns = chaplets – wreaths worn on the head, distinguished with honor. (Those who laid down their own glory and honor/self righteousness/reputation for the glory and honor of Yahweh)

Yahweh is not limited to time, as He operates out of time. He is omniscient (all knowing), omnipresent (everywhere all at once), omnipotent (all powerful).

If we understand spiritually what the Father is saying, we find the treasures and mysteries of heaven. We can understand what scripture means when it says:

2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?  (1 Corinthians 6:2-3)

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”  (Genesis 1:26)

We are called to walk in the authority and dominion given to us as sons of Yahweh. We are to carry Yeshua’s burden for the people and carry out our priestly duties—tending to the tabernacle of Yahweh (our body & the body of Christ). We are to abide in Him and let the kingdom of heaven abide in us, doing a work through us for His kingdom to come on this earth as it is in heaven. We are called to be led by the Spirit of Yah and walk in the spiritual gifts, be seated in heavenly places with Yeshua. We are called to be before His throne as the 24 elders (mature counselors with Yahweh, with all reverence to the One who is seated above all.) When we lay down our crowns, He will crown us with the crown of life—His glory, as we will become refined as pure gold into His image once again, Yeshua duplicated. Many are called, few are chosen.

I’ll close with the below parable.

The Parable of the Wedding Feast – Matthew 22

1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. 7But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

I love you, my beloved. I pray you will meditate on this. I pray it speaks to you. I pray you have gotten a revelation that will honestly bring you to your knees before the Father, and if there are any areas you need to repent to that you will do so. Please don’t make light of this and go on you merry way because you think you are too busy. Often times we must repent for our lack of knowledge so as to get on the right path with Yeshua. 

I hope you will join me in Part 2 where we’ll talk a close look at Ezekiel, Chapters 1 and 2. Until then, be blessed and know that you are loved.
