Revelation chapter 4
Out from His throne comes flashes of lightning, sounds and peals of thunder:
Rev. 4:5 "Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim."; Matt. 24:27 “For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”; Ex. 19:15-17 “He said to the people, Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman. So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moshe brought the people out of the camp to meet Elohim, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.”
His flashes of lightning (first coming) are the consuming fire to purify our works of lawlessness out of our repentant hearts to start our spiritual life in Messiah.
His sounds are announced that His Word of Light comes to our repentant hearts as to prepare our spiritual lives in Messiah and renew/increase the things of His Kingdom of Life upon our receipt of His Spirit of joy. 1 John 1:5 “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that Elohim is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.”
His peals of thunder are His heavenly joys/trumpets as to free His people out of the kingdom of lawlessness to His Kingdom of Life by His sanctification for the shortened days till the ends of fleshly ages. Luke 15:10 “In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of Elohim over one sinner who repents.”; Rev. 19:6-9 “Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, Halleluyah! For YHWH our Eloheynu, the Almighty, reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready. It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, Write, Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.' And he said to me, These are true words of Elohim.”
First, we repent from the works of uncleanness, then His Word of Light (flashes of lightning) comes to our hearts for His sanctification.
Flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and earthquake:
Rev. 4:5 "Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim"; 8:5 "Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake."; 11:19 "And the temple of Elohim which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm"; Ex. 19:16 "So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled."; 20:18 "All the people perceived the thunder and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance."; Ps. 18:12-14 "From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, hailstones and coals of fire. YHWH also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, and lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them."; 77:17-18 "The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there. The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook."; 144:5-6 "Bow Your heavens, O YHWH, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke. Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Send out Your arrows and confuse them."
The flashes of Lightning is the Word of Light (Son of Man) coming to the repentant heart. 2 Cor. 4:6 "For Elohim, who said, Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim in the face of haMashiyach."
The sound (trumpet) is His Spirit of Life joyfully comes to dwell in our temple (sanctified hearts) as we are the spirit births/members of His resurrected body (from the death of Messiah). John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."; 1 Peter 1:22-23 "Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of Elohim."; 1 Peter 3:4 "but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of Elohim."
The peals of His thunder is in our sanctified mouths giving our praises to His name (Halleluyah). John 12:29-30 "So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, An angel has spoken to Him. Yahushua answered and said, This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes."; Rev. 19:6-7 "Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, Halleluyah! For YHWH our Eloheynu, the Almighty, reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready."
The earthquake is to shake off what is of fleshly foundation (kingdom of death), but His Rock (Kingdom of Life) cannot be shaken. Luke 6:47-49 "Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."; Ps. 82:5 "They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken."
His lightning (Word of Light) is restored (descended) from the Kingdom of heaven (Life) and the earthquake (the kingdom of death) is shaken off to free Him so His Kingdom of Life is given to all who seek His salvation.
Matt 28:1-2 "And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of YHWH descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow."
His Spirit of Light (dove and lightning) is descended (given) to Him after the baptism and is sounded of His pleasure (heavenly joy/ peals of thunder).
Matt. 3:16-17 "After being baptized, Yahushua came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of Elohim descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."
His light (lightning) flashes to all that come out of the kingdom of darkness:
Matt. 24:27 "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be."; Rev. 4:5 "Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim"
His flashes of lightning breaks the seven seals to all who are called out of this world of mortality, the sounds are the seven trumpets to bring all back to His Kingdom of Life, and the peals of thunder are the heavenly joys over the repentant ones.
The lightning (Word of Light) comes from the east (His left hand) where all repent from the kingdom of darkness to the west (His right hand) where all are sanctified to His Kingdom of Light (flashes).
Acts 9:3-4 "As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me?"; 22:6-9 "But it happened that as I was on my way, approaching Damascus about noontime, a very bright light suddenly flashed from heaven all around me, and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me? And I answered, Who are You, Master? And He said to me, I am Yahushua the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting. And those who were with me saw the light, to be sure, but did not understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me."
The example of Shaul's awakening from the kingdom of darkness is what His Word of Light comes to all who are awakened out of their sleep (kingdom of darkness). Matt. 4:16-17 "The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light, and those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a light dawned. From that time Yahushua began to preach and say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."; 1 Th. 5:2 "For you yourselves know full well that the day of YHWH will come just like a thief in the night." All who sit in the kingdom of darkness (lawlessness) shall see His Word of Light flashing their repentant hearts. His day of YHWH (Word of Light) comes as a thief to awaken those who are out the kingdom of darkness (night).
Many fleshly births (generation to come) enter into the kingdom of darkness in preparation of His lighting flashes called on them to repent, so they become spiritual births (generation to go) for the shortened days till the ends of fleshly ages.
His flashing Light breaks the seven seals to all:
Matt. 24:27 "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be."; Rev. 4:5 "Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim"; Rev. 5:9-10 "And they sang a new song, saying, Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for Elohim with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our Eloheynu; and they will reign upon the earth."
His flashes of lightning (Word of Light/Son of Man/Lamb) breaks the seven seals given to all who seek His salvation in order to be His sealed servants in this world of mortality and His sounds (the seven trumpets) to bring all back to His Kingdom of Life, and His peals of thunder are sounded in giving our praises to Him.
The lightning (Word of Light) comes from the east (His left hand) where all repent from the kingdom of darkness/ lawlessness to the west (His right hand) where all are sanctified (flashed) to His Kingdom of Light.
Acts 9:3-4 "As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me?"; 22:6-9 "But it happened that as I was on my way, approaching Damascus about noontime, a very bright light suddenly flashed from heaven all around me, and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me? And I answered, Who are You, Master? And He said to me, I am Yahushua the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting. And those who were with me saw the light, to be sure, but did not understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me."
From the east (kingdom of darkness) to the west (Kingdom/temple of Light) is the true repentance (reversal). The sun eastward is the darkened sun (kingdom of darkness) dominated by Satan. His Word of Light turns us from the cycle of backwardness/lawlessness to His cycle of forwardness. Eze. 8:16-18 “Then He brought me into the inner court of YHWH’s house. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of YHWH and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun...”
The example of Shaul's awakening from the kingdom of darkness is what His Word of Light comes to all who are awakened out of their sleep (kingdom of darkness). Matt. 4:16-17 "The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light, and those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a light dawned. From that time Yahushua began to preach and say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."; 1 Th. 5:2 "For you yourselves know full well that the day of YHWH will come just like a thief in the night." All who sit in the kingdom of darkness (lawlessness) shall see His Word of Light flashing their repentant hearts. His day of YHWH (Word of Light) comes as a thief to awaken those who are out the kingdom of darkness (night).
Four living creatures:
Rev. 4:6-9 "and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind. The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, Holy, Holy, Holy is YHWH El Shaddai, who was and who is and who is to come. And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever"
The four cheruvim are before the gates of the book of Torah (Kingdom of Light):
The first creature is a lion who is the expression/face of wisdom, ruler, giver of the ordinances.
The second creature is an ox who is the expression/face of peace/instruction, priest, giver of the statutes.
The third creature is a man who is the expression/face of counsel/knowledge, elder, giver of the charge.
The fourth creature is an eagle who is the expression/face of success/understanding, warrior,
giver of the commandments.
