The Revelation Series - Eyes as a Flame of Fire III

The Revelation Series - His Hair White as Wool and Eyes as a Flame of Fire II

Revelation 1:14 “And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;”

Over the last three weeks we have been looking at the description of the Son of Man as His Eyes as a Flame of Fire.  We have seen in scripture that it is declared there were seven lamps of fire before His Throne, and these seven lamps of fire were are the seven Spirits of God.  We saw that the seven Spirits of God were sent out into all the earth.  We also see in Scripture and know in reality that there is only ONE SPIRIT of God, but in the Book of Revelation the One Spirit is described as seven or seven-fold.  We have looked at the number seven and its relationship to Christ as our Sabbath Day.  The seven-fold Spirit here speaks of completion and fullness and rest that are found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

On the Day of Pentecost, as written in Acts 2 the Holy Ghost sat upon the disciples with cloven tongues of fire.  This fire began to transform those believers and consume all that was in them to refine them in the knowledge of Christ.  This is the work of the Holy Ghost to refine us in Word and Deed into the Image of Jesus Christ.  John 15 and 16 declares that the Holy Spirit will show you the things of Christ, “He shall take of mine and show it to you,” John 16:14.  As the Holy Spirit shows you that of Christ you come to a seeing of Him.  In this process of seeing you are refined in your heart to Image of Christ.  Hallelujah!

In Ezekiel Chapter 1, the prophet of God sees a Cloud with Fire.  In this Cloud are living creatures and above their heads is ONE on a throne.  This one Ezekiel sees has fire from His waist downward and fire from His waist upward, our God is a consuming fire.  When Ezekiel sees Him, he falls on his face as dead before him like John’s experience in Revelation Chapter one.  The Prophet Isaiah says in Isaiah Chapter 6 I saw the Lord High and lifted up.  When he saw Him, he said I am a man undone with unclean lips.  The answer to Isaiah was fire from the altar to purify His Speech.

The answer to our hearts and to our speech is the Revealing of the Living Christ within us.  As we see Him by the Spirit of God we are transformed inside and out.  Our speech will begin to align with what we see in our hearts, “of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,” Matthew 12:34.   As he is revealed within our hearts, He becomes our abundance.  We begin to speak of Him, or out of the understanding of Him.  Let us see, as the Holy Spirit takes of Him and shows Him to us and declare Him that we see to one another!  Praise God!
