Introduction

On the 1st of May 2017 the Lord spoke to me that He will create a new possibility in the lives of His people, which leads to a visitation by Him (see the prophetic word The Sound Of The Unusual Rain). They will see Him coming from the northwest. In connection with this, the Lord allowed me to hear the abundance of rain like the sound of many waters.
 
This visitation is a movement that will bring support and help to secure the next coming generation. It is about the protection of the sound of the spirit filled truth. The Lord said that by the power of the “living letter”, the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord begins to move so that the readiness for compromise will be removed from the community of saints.
 
The Dark Blanket Of Clouds
 
Furthermore, I saw a dark blanket of clouds, carrying the travail of God that will lead to a change of direction. It is the heroic travail of God that goes along with the new sound, which establishes the victory of God and removes the readiness for compromise.
Moreover the Lord showed me that the fellowship of saints will receive this spiritual movement from the northwest to reach out in a new way for the movement of Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Then He said that the worship in spirit and in truth gains increase, resulting in healing and an arising in the atmosphere so that people will be set free.
While all of this is going on, the apostolic wind of the Lord is moving and will reveal the covenant thoughts of God for this time in the earth.
The Lord showed me that this circumstance is similar to the characteristic of the harbor of Phoenix, that stands open towards the southwest and northwest.
Furthermore, the Lord revealed that it is about the harbor Phoenix, as it is linked to His mighty angel who conveys the spiritual truth for this time to His church, standing with his right foot on the sea and with his left food on the land (see Acts 27:12 i.c.w. Revelation 10:1-3).
 
The News Article Of “The Guardian”
 
On the 09th of May 2017 I read a news article about an unusual manifestation that happened in a coastal region of Ireland (from the perspective of Germany is Ireland located in the northwest) which I consider as a confirmation of the prophetic word as well as a prophetic add-on.
The news article from the 08th of May 2017 published by “The Guardian” is headlined:
 
=> Irish beach washed away 33 years ago reappears overnight after freak tide
 
Villagers express delight after entire beach that vanished in Achill Island storms in 1984 turns back sands of time
 
The article continues:
 
An Irish beach that disappeared more than 30 years (note: 33 years) ago has returned to an island off the County Mayo coast.
The sand at Dooagh, Achill Island, was washed away by storms in 1984, leaving only rocks and rock pools.
But after a freak tide around Easter (note: Passover) this year, hundreds of tons of sand were deposited around the area where the beach once stood, recreating the old 300-meter stretch of golden sand.
 
Sean Molloy, manager at Achill Tourism, said local people were delighted to have the beach back.
 
Recalling the events of 1984, he said: “Some big storms destroyed the beach. It was completely washed away and 1984 was the last time the beach was there.
 
“Then in April we had that cold snap over Easter (note: Passover) and the wind was coming from the north. It was steady and must have transported sand in from elsewhere.”
 
Alan Gielty, who runs a local restaurant, said the reformed beach was attracting a new influx of tourists.
 
“We have a beautiful little village as it is, but it is great to look out and see this beautiful beach instead of just rocks,” he said. “Since people have seen the news of the beach, we have had plenty more visitors from the middle of the country.”
 
Achill is a remote, rugged and unspoiled island in the west of Ireland. Its most famous inhabitant was Heinrich Böll, the German anti-Nazi Nobel prize-winning writer, who lived there in the 1950s and 60s.
 
His former cottage has been transformed into a retreat for writers and a place where Böll fans pay homage. <= (source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/08/irish-beach-washed-away-reappears-freak-tide)
 
God Redeems The Time Of His People!
 
After I read this article the Lord said that He is redeeming the time for His people so that they are able to enter into their God given inheritance (see Genesis 32:12).
 
Genesis 32:12:
12 But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’ ”
 
The New Sound Of Worship And “Extra-Grace”
 
The Lord achieves this by the new apostolic-prophetic sound of worship, as is symbolized by the Irish national coat of arms, which displays a harp (sound of the king of David – David was as well a prophet; see Acts 2:29-30 i.c.w. 2 Kings 3:15-16).
 
Acts 2:29-30:
29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
 
2 Kings 3:15-16:
15 But now bring me a harpist.” While the harpist was playing, the hand of the Lord came on Elisha 16 and he said, “This is what the Lord says: I will fill this valley with pools of water.
 
God does not do this, because we have earned it but rather because of His “Extra-Grace” given to us (see Isaiah 42:9-11; Isaiah 48:6-12)!
 
Isaiah 42:9-11:
9 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.”
10 Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.
 
Isaiah 48:6-12:
6 You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? “From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, ‘Yes, I knew of them.’
8 You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ears have not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth.
9 For my own name’s sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to destroy you completely.
10 See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.
12 “Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last.
 
The “Extra-Grace” Of God And The Slow Motion
 
The influence of the “Extra-Grace” of God induces a phase of slow motion among His people so that they are able to enter into their God given promised land for this time to become fruitful, that they may delight in it and thus are enabled to sow seeds into the kingdom (see Jeremiah 12:15 i.c.w. Genesis 1:9-13).
 
Jeremiah 12:15:
15 But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to their own inheritance and their own country.
 
Genesis 1:9-13:
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning – the third day.
 
Taking Another Look
 
During this process of “slow motion”, the Lord gives His people the possibility to take another look and comprehend or rather internalize His given boundaries, so that pride may be broken by the power of His word/truth (see Job 38:10-11).
 
Job 38:10-11:
… 10 when I fixed limits for it (note: for the waters) and set its doors and bars in place, 11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt’?
 
When God's order is honored by His people, it becomes a door with a latch (note: sea creates a possibility) by which we enter into the third day power for this time, and this is linked to resurrection!
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

Übersetzung: Margit Kelly

I would like to give the following message to address the light of God in relation to the value of time. From Psalm 36:9 it is obvious that God is the source of life and in His light we are able to see the light.
 
Psalm 36:9:
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
 
The Hidden Knowledge of God and the Importance of the Sacrifice Of Jesus
 
It is good to clearly understand though the insight hidden in this mentioned Bible verse.
First of all, it is important to note that through Jesus Christ, the dead and the risen One, we are able to enter into the presence of God in the Spirit in order to be able to walk in the center of His eternal life and government (see John 14:6; John 3:16 i.c.w. Colossians 3:1-3).
 
John 14:6:
6 Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'
 
John 3:16:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
 
Colossians 3:1-3:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
 
God's Respect for Temporary Time
 
Recently, I had received the news of a sudden death in our neighborhood where a person died at a relatively young age.
 
The reason why I am writing about it at this point is because with God the life we live in the temporary time has a special value. Therefore it is important that we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us to number our days so that we may become wise (see Psalm 90:12).
 
Psalm 90:12:
12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
 
This wisdom includes to fully comprehend the value of temporary time.
There is a quantity in the temporal time and that is the reason why the apostle Paul pointed out the importance of redeeming the time to the Ephesians (see Ephesians 5:15-16).
 
Ephesians 5:15-16:
15 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity (note: redeeming the time), because the days are evil.
 
As people of God, it is so important for us to recognize the importance of the temporal time on earth because it involves the period in which we as human beings made in flesh and blood can worship God, the Father in Spirit and in truth (see Psalm 115:17-18 i.c.w. John 4:23-24).
 
Psalm 115:17-18:
17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence; 18 it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord. (Hallelujah.)
 
John 4:23-24:
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.
 
The value of surrendering to the Lord in the midst of that limited temporal period of time is especially honored by God in Heaven. This is also made clear by the fact that Jesus Christ appears in the spiritual realm in the facet of the Lamb of God being slain as a reference to the life of Jesus Christ in the temporal time, including His victory on the cross of Calvary.
 
Therefore it can be said that the facet of the Lamb of God in eternity represents the temporary period of the life of Jesus Christ on earth. It is the facet of the Lamb of God, which includes the entire life of Jesus on earth in flesh and blood (see Revelation 5:6; John 1:29.36).
 
Revelation 5:6:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
 
John 1:29.36:
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! …'
… 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, `Look, the Lamb of God!'
 
The Character of Light and Its Space of Time
 
In order to go deeper into the meaning of the light of God, I would like to note that the light of God has been given a different character through the different spaces of time (note: eternal time, temporal time) which is clearly evident by the Seven Spirits of God who are differently positioned in the 'space of time' of eternity.
 
On the one hand, the Seven Spirits of God are revealed as seven burning torches in front of God's throne, and on the other side they are seven shining eyes in the structure of the Lamb of God (see Revelation 4:5; Revelation 5:6).
 
The reason why I mentioned the eyes as luminous is simply because there is no darkness in God and the eye is the light of the body (see 1 John 1:5 i.c.w. Luke 11:34a).
 
1 John 1:5:
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
 
Luke 11:34a:
34a Your eye is the lamp of your body. …
 
Since there is no sin in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God (see Hebrews 4:15), we can assume that His light shines through the seven eyes of the Seven Spirits of God, and ultimately it is the Lamb of God that is the lamp in the heavenly, anointed city of Jerusalem (note: structure of the Bride of Christ; see Revelation 21:23).
 
Hebrews 4:15:
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet he did not sin.
 
Revelation 21:23:
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
The Interwoven Light in the Midst of the Heavenly City
 
In this Heavenly city (note: which is a structure of the spirit) does not rule the power of the light of the temporal time (note: no sun and moon exist) but the power of the light of the time of eternity (note: God's glory). The time of eternity is interwoven with the temporal measure of time of the Son of God (note: the time when Jesus Christ lived on the earth and gave himself as a sacrifice for mankind).
 
As a result, the city is flooded with the glorious light of the Heavenly Father by the lamp of the Lamb (note: the light of the fatherhood and sonship of God). This glorious light of eternity testifies the unity that Jesus Christ prayed for in John 17.
 
He prayed for those who were born from above (note: spirit filled – born again) and for the people later being born from above by their testimonies to be one (see John 3:3 i.c.w. John 17:11b-23) .
 
John 3:3:
3 Jesus replied, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again (note: from above).'
 
John 17:11b-23:
'… 11b Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. …
20 'My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one – 23 I in them and you in me – so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. …'
 
The Different Characters of Light
 
In the presence of God there are different characters of light, for instance the lightnings of God that go forth from His throne, the seven burning torches before His throne as well as the seven eyes of the Lamb of God from which the light of the Lord comes forth (see Revelation 4:5; Revelation 5:6; Luke 11:34a).
 
Revelation 4:5:
5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
 
Revelation 5:6:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
 
Luke 11:34a:
34a Your eye is the lamp of your body. …
 
The Lightnings of God and the Burning Torches Before the Throne of God
 
The lightnings of God carrying among other things this power of His inner being and His government to strengthen the saints (note: for their mission) who stand before the Throne according to Colossians 3:1-3 so that they may reveal the miraculous power of God to men on earth.
 
The burning torches, on the other hand, are in front of the Throne of God in the Throne room. They burn with a supernatural fire carrying within themselves the consuming nature of God which requires the substance of true devotion of believers to reveal His holiness and zeal. These two attributes are also connected with the fear of the Lord (see Deuteronomy 4:24; Psalm 50:3 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:28-29).
 
Deuteronomy 4:24:
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
 
Psalm 50:3:
3 Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.
 
Hebrews 12:28-29:
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our 'God is a consuming fire.'
 
True Devotion and the Purchased Time
 
True devotion to Jesus Christ points to a person who has fully submitted himself/herself to the will and plan of God, investing his/her free time into the fellowship with Him. This means that the temporary time is purchased (note: redeemed) so that God honors the temporal time of the believer in eternity.
 
This used/purchased time of the believer is recognized by God as a measure of time that has its seat in the spiritual structure of the Lamb of God. This used or invested time has the character like the light that shines from one of the seven eyes of the Lamb of God.
 
The seven burning torches carry the light of the space of time of the eternity of God because they are connected with His Throne room.
The seven eyes of the Lamb of God in eternity carry the light of the space of the temporary time from the Son of God (note: while He lived on the earth and sacrificed His life on the cross of Calvary for mankind).
 
This light of the space of the temporary time from the Son of God releases the riches of the inner being of Jesus which is His true love to us and the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge (see Romans 5:8-10; 1 John 4:9 i.c.w. Colossians 2:2-3) of God.
 
Romans 5:8-10:
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
 
1 John 4:9:
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
 
Colossians 2:2-3:
2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
 
The Fusion of the Eternal Light and the Identification of God With the Temporary Time
 
The fusion of the light of the eternity of God with the light of the temporal time of the Son of God finds its climax in the bridal structure, the heavenly, anointed city of Jerusalem, where the glory of God and the Lamb of God are the only cause for the illumination of the city (see Revelation 21:23).
 
Revelation 21:23:
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
God, the Heavenly Father as well as His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ in eternity identify themselves with us as living human beings in the temporary time calling themselves the Alpha and the Omega, even though they are eternal (see Revelation 1:8; Revelation 22:13 i.c.w. Hebrews 7:3).
 
Revelation 1:8:
8 'I am the Alpha and the Omega,'says the Lord God, 'who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.'
 
Revelation 22:13:
13 I (note: Jesus Christ) am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
 
Hebrews 7:3:
3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

Conclusion
 
So this revelatory character of God's light of space and time should help forward to keep in mind that time is valuable and precious, especially when our time has been spent in submission to Him, who desires to be one with us.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm

Introduction
 
We as Body of Christ are presently living in the biblical year 5777 (“Ajin-Sajin”), with the biggest measure of time still to come, and I am confident that the LORD will work and form new things in our lives during the rest of this year. Therefore I would like to go into the subject of the hand of the Father and the wings of the cherubim.
 
The Hand Of God And The Creation Of Man
 
The hand of the Heavenly Father is closely connected to the creation of Adam and Eve, the first two humans that were formed in perfection as man and woman by the hand of God, and were raised up in their best maturity. This agile maturity came into effect only by the breath of God, which made them able to walk in God's garden as living souls.
 
Adam and Eve did not live through the stages of infancy, childhood and youth, but were created by the hand and breath of God as man and woman.
 
This points towards the relevance of the outer and inner touch of God, which generates an autonomous motion (note: by choice) of the human being.
 
It is the outer touch of the Heavenly Father that transfers responsibility to us as God's sons/daughters, the inner touch of God causes us to walk in the truth of the Heavenly Father (see Numbers 27:18-20; Acts 8:17 i.c.w. John 16:13-15).
 
Numbers 27:18-20:
18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit of leadership, and lay your hand on him.
19 Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him in their presence.
20 Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him.
 
Acts 8:17:
17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
 
John 16:13-15:
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
 
The Dawn Of Existence Of Our Divine Identity
 
This means it is important for the Heavenly Father that we walk in the identity He gives us. As far as God is concerned, our identity began existing before we were conceived on earth, as revealed in Psalm 139:13-16 and also in Jeremiah 1:4-5.
 
Psalm 139:13-16:
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
 
Jeremiah 1:4-5:
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
 
The Fog, The Hands Of God And The Breath
 
Divine identity is the identity connected to the dew/ground fog (note: the promise on earth – nationality), to the loving hand of God (note: God's providence) and to His breath (note: His life). It is released in the natural intimacy of a married couple (note: man and woman) according to the word of God in love, so that human life can come into being.
 
When a man and a woman get intimate, i.e. become one in accordance with the order of God, it first of all shows the structure of the father, just as Adam was first formed in his basic structure. Later on God placed him into an expanded love order which is a mirror for the love and unity of Jesus and the church (see Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:6-7; Genesis 2:18.21-25; Ephesians 5:31-33).
 
Genesis 1:27:
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
 
Genesis 2:6-7:
… 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
 
Genesis 2:18.21-25:
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” …
21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.
22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
 
God's Eternal Plan
 
=> In the way, children have their beginning within their parents by being formed from the seed of the father and growing in the womb of the mother, so Jesus Christ, the son of God, began His life on earth: He was sired in Mary by the Holy Spirit in God, the Father.
This emphasises that all life comes from God.
People come into existence outside of God as His handiwork.
When we as people of God observe the Heavenly Father doing something on earth, it is vital to understand that He doesn't just implement His will suddenly, when encountering obstacles while advancing in the earth; rather, at the point of time determined by Him, the Heavenly Father executes the things He wrote down a long time ago.
He carries out this course of action by using recorded prescience as a means, revelation as a method and prophecy as a media tool, through which the LORD rules the earth and redeems His eternal offspring.
This shows quite clearly that His long-time plan has always been in effect. <= (Part excerpt from the book „Before the Garden: God's Eternal Continuum“ by Dr. Paula A. Price, pages 45 and 53)
[note of the translator: the above excerpt is a re-translation from a German translation of the original text]
 
The Creative Power Of God And The Challenge
 
We can expect challenges when the Heavenly Father takes something from the spirit realm to shape our lives in the earth realm.
The Hebrew word „jāẓar“, used in the natural to describe an act of „forming/shaping“, emphasises this (see Genesis 2:7). „Jāẓar“ describes a piece of art formed by an artist.
 
Man was formed by God from the dust of the ground like the potter forms an earthen vessel from clay. „Jāẓar“ also means „to be aligned, to be tight, to be in distress, to be confused and to be moved (note: in ones emotions).“ (Part explanation from Strong's Concordance regarding the Hebrew word „jāẓar“ with language key number H3335)
 
The Hand Of God in The Present Day
 
The hand of God still moves in the present day, even if we don't perceive it as a physical hand.
The hand of God reigns from heaven above on earth, and it is connected to the spirit realm and to the faith of His people, because God is spirit.
 
The hand of God can be likened to the cloud, the servant of Elijah saw in the sky and which later manifested as heavy rain. It was a reference to the perfect blessing of God (see 1 Kings 18:44-45a i.c.w. John 4:24; Hebrew 12:1a).
 
1 Kings 18:44-45a:
44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’ ”
45a Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling …
 
John 4:24:
24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
 
Hebrews 12:1a:
1a Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses (note of faith), …
 
The Wings Of The Cherubim And The Hand Of God
 
The hand of the Heavenly Father always works from the covering of His glory – this is expressed in the wings of the cherubim.
The book of Ezekiel describes how the hand of God becomes visible underneath the wings of the cherubim (see Ezekiel 10:8).
 
Ezekiel 10:8:
8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)
 
It becomes apparent that it is the hand of God, when we look at the previous verse of Ezekiel 10:7 where the hands of the cherubim are first mentioned.
 
Ezekiel 10:7:
7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.
 
The Hebrew word for „cherub“ means „glancing appearance, lightning“. „Cherubim“ means translated „great one, mighty one“. The wheels of the cherubim form the throne of God; they carry God in reverence and reveal His glory by their characteristic trait.
 
In the bible, the hand of God is mostly mentioned in the singular and is connected to God's creativity, His signs and wonders, His prophetic directive, His throne room glory, as well as the drawing up into the supernatural prophetic realm (see Genesis 2:7; Exodus 9:3; 1 Samuel 5:6; 2 Kings 3:15-16; Ezekiel 1:3-4; Ezekiel 8:1-3a).
 
Genesis 2:7:
7 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
 
Exodus 9:3:
… 3 the hand of the LORD will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field – on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats.
 
1 Samuel 5:6:
6 The LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation on them and afflicted them with tumors.
 
2 Kings 3:15-16:
15 But now bring me a harpist.” While the harpist was playing, the hand of the Lord came on Elisha 16 and he said (note: prophesied), “This is what the LORD says: I will fill this valley with pools of water.
 
Ezekiel 1:3-4:
… 3 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. There the hand of the LORD was on him.
4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north – an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, …
 
Ezekiel 8:1-3a:
1 In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day, while I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, the hand of the Sovereign LORD came on me there.
2 I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man. From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal.
3a He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. …
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
