The Word of the Throne - As it is in Heaven VII

The Word of the Throne – As it is in Heaven

In the Old Covenant God communed with Israel from the Mercy Seat according to the Word He had given. 

Exodus 25:20 “And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. 21 And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”

In Isaiah, the Bible declares that this seat of Mercy was God’s Throne.   Many of us as Christians do not get ahold or understand this.  God’s throne was in Jerusalem.  The Word He ruled by was the Law of Moses.  It was God’s rule among His people Israel.  He communed or fellowshipped with Israel according to the Word and Covenant He gave.

Isaiah 37:14  “And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. 15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying, 16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.”

Moses declared through the Lord that Israel was enjoined by the Blood of the Covenant to the Word spoken in Exodus Chapter 24.  Now I want you to hear the New Covenant.  In Revelation Chapter 5, John sees Jesus in the throne.  “A Lamb as if it had been slain, standing in the midst of the throne.”  Here is how God now communes with those that are His, according to the Lamb.  Jesus is the Word of the Covenant.  This Word is the Word of Covenant.  We are in Covenant with God, according to THE CHRIST, who put off the Old Man, and brought forth the New Man in Himself.  

In this Covenant we are learning The Word of God.  I mean THE WORD OF GOD.  “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God.” “The WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us.”  This is the Word we are learning.  This is the Word we live by.  This Word is our communion with God who is our Father.  Glory to God!  What a Covenant we are in that we have the Living Word in the throne to direct us and cleanse us.

In Hebrews 12, the Bible speaks of God the Judge of all, and the spirits of just men made perfect, and the blood of sprinkling that speaks greater than Abel.  One day reading this I saw what God is saying.  Here in this judgement of Christ these men are made perfect.  The judgement of the cross is unto perfection.  Jesus mediates a New Covenant where the comers can come into the perfection or completion of God.  It is not like the Old Covenant where they could never find completion, but it is new where you and I come to God through Jesus and find our perfection in Him.  Glory to God!
