Note:
The following message is the first part of a teaching that consists of two parts and we recommend to read the message chronologically.

 

 

In the book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 6 states that in the year of King Uzziah’s death, Isaiah saw the LORD sitting on a high and exalted throne while God’s hem filled the temple. At this Isaiah beheld seraphim who were above the throne of God and who had six wings, two of which covered their faces, two their feet, while they flew with the third pair of wings.

 

Meanwhile, they were shouting three times the word ‘Holy!’ and proclaimed that the lands were full of the glory of the LORD of hosts. As a result, the doorposts in the threshold of the throne room shook and the temple in the spirit realm was filled with smoke (cf. Isaiah 6:1-4).

 

Isaiah 6:1-4:
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

 

Using this scripture, the Lord has revealed that we, like Isaiah, as the Body of Christ, have completed a season of strength and kingship in Christ and are in a kind of spiritual birthing phase. The birthing phase is associated with a higher level of God’s kingship that includes the presence of the Heavenly Father in the form of ‘YAHWEH – I AM!’

 

Whenever God brings about His plan of transformation, it is not left out that we have to say goodbye to a worn-out structure in order to be able to bring forth a greater fruit. In connection with the name ‘Uzziah => My strength is YAHWEH’ this means that the LORD wants us to increase in spiritual strength and kingship in Christ Jesus.

 

This is also revealed in Jesus’ statement when He spoke of His death in connection with the grain of wheat that fell into the earth, which had to die in order to bring forth manifold fruit (cf. John 12:24).

 

John 12:24:
24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

 

We can clearly see the connection to the year of King Uzziah’s death, as it was a time period set by God, which included the increase of the LORD’s strength. The LORD is also the God of generations, so whenever He finds righteous people in the generational line, He causes them to increase in blessings (cf. Exodus 20:6).

 

Exodus 20:6:
… 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

 

The high and exalted presence of God as described in Isaiah 6 is accompanied by the presence of the seraphim (Note: means ‘the fiery, the burning ones’), who reflect the character of God in the form of a consuming fire (cf. Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29).

 

Deuteronomy 4:24:
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

 

Hebrews 12:29:
29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”

 

Since angels are winds and winds fill atmospheres, it is clear that angels fill an atmosphere with the presence assigned to them by God (cf. Hebrews 1:7).

 

Hebrews 1:7:
7 In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”

 

It is no coincidence that Isaiah (note: means ‘salvation of YAHWEH, YAHWEH has saved’) was lifted with his spirit being into the throne room of God in the year of the king’s death, where he not only saw the LORD sitting on a throne, but saw Him sitting high and exalted.

 

God is spirit, which means that He moves or resides in the spirit realm, which we need to understand (cf. John 4:24a).

 

John 4:24a:
24a God is spirit, …

 

This high and exalted position of God was accompanied by the fiery presence of the seraphim and their high praise, which thrice proclaimed the holiness of God. As a result, there was a spiritual contraction at the entrance to the throne room, which Isaiah perceived as an earthquake (cf. Isaiah 6:4).

 

 

The earthquake, activates the motherhood of God, wherein God extends His arms to send forth His servants. The reason is because the Hebrew word for a door‘post’ is the word ‘’ammāh’ which means ‘a cubit, door base, lower forearm’ and is derived from the root word ‘’ēm’ which means ‘mother’. (Note: word explanation for the word ‘’ammāh – post’ and the word ‘’ēm – mother’ from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 536, 533).

 

It is divine servant hood, which is the entrance into the high realm of God. This is the reason why Jesus said that whoever wants to be the greatest should practice servant hood (cf. Matthew 23:11).

 

Matthew 23:11:
11 The greatest among you will be your servant.

 

In this, it is important that we allow the LORD to surround us and our testimony in Christ Jesus with His fiery and consuming presence, so that we come forth as the Body of Christ in a new spiritual quality for this age and the age to come in order to reveal the strength of His kingship.

 

It is necessary that we enter into the fiery threefold ‘Holy!’ of the seraphim with our spirit man, which means that this results in our spirit, soul and body entering into greater purity. This happens because the fire of God consumes everything that rises up against the knowledge of God in this holy presence. All of our wrong decisions, feelings, thought processes as well as relationships that keep us from entering more deeply into the presence of God, we need to let go.

 

Through this sanctification process, which goes hand in hand with God’s appointed timing and majesty in the eternal kingship, there comes a supernatural spiritual contact with the essence of God, allowing His fiery angels, the seraphim, to place a piece of His inner consuming essence in the form of a fiery coal on the lips of our spirit man.

 

This results in a new and pure communication to sovereignly meet those who consciously live in opposition to God in the royal priesthood of Christ and to seal the realm of knowledge where it is in agreement with the will of God (cf. Isaiah 6:6-10).

 

Isaiah 6:6-10:
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
9 He said, “Go and tell this people: “ ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”

 

This withholding of knowledge is accompanied by the power of God’s parables or puzzling language (cf. Matthew 13:10-15 i.c.w. Matthew 7:6).

 

Matthew 13:10-15:
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “ ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’

 

Matthew 7:6:
6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. …”

 

 

In order to properly understand the judgments or verdicts of God, it is necessary to be in and not merely in front of the throne room. These things can be understood only by standing in the center of God’s robe. Standing in the center of God’s robe encompasses the relationship with God as the Heavenly Father in His kingship.

It is in the throne room behind the door where Jesus Christ appears in a new spiritual facet, namely as the Lamb of God and King of kings (cf. Revelation 5:6 i.c.w. Revelation 17:14).

 

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.

 

Revelation 17:14:
14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings – and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

 

The Heavenly Father desires to supernaturally provide for us in our spirit being through His Son Jesus Christ, so that we are able to properly understand His revelations and what He is speaking (cf. John 10:9).

 

John 10:9:
9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

The LORD was recognized by Isaiah in His complete governmental rule because he saw the LORD high and lifted up in the vision. This was no coincidence, that God associated His royal presence with the death of a king because He was pointing to the original source of His divine kingship (cf. Daniel 2:21).

 

Daniel 2:21:
21 He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

 

The fundamental source of kingship is connected to the hem of God’s garment that fills the temple. The hem of God’s royal garment is associated with His established order and instruction because the hem is the end of the garment where the tassels (Note: Hebrew ‘ẓîẓit’) are also attached. The tassels are attached to the four corners of the hem of the Israelites’ garment in order to remind them of God’s commandments and His order (cf. Numbers 15:38-39).

 

Numbers 15:38-39:
38 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.
39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes.

 

 

The hem of God’s robe in the context of the biblical passage from Isaiah 6 represents the full measure of His kingly-priestly presence because, as mentioned earlier in Isaiah’s vision, the LORD sat high and exalted in the spirit realm. While the LORD was on His throne, He sat on a part of His robe or mantle so that the rest of His robe extended into the room of the temple.

This is an indication that God’s kingship or kingdom authority manifests itself in the realm of true spiritual relationship between man and God in the temple, so that the seraphim begin to proclaim the holiness and glory of God.

The LORD reveals through Isaiah in this manifestation that the true walk in kingdom authority can only happen when each saint as an individual goes into God’s fatherly-kingly presence and is aware of the boundaries of authority represented by the hem which is established by God for our personal life. As a result, God’s living furnace of fire is revealed, composed of His seraphim (Note: ‘the fiery ones, the burning ones’).

 

This living furnace of fire has a square shape because it is connected with the order and authority of God. When circles appear in the spirit realm, they usually indicate the cycles of time and the movement of the LORD. The square shape, on the other hand, is associated with the authority and order of God and His governmental residence, which is based on true relationship (cf. Revelation 21:9-10.16a.22-23).

 

Revelation 21:9-10.16a.22-23:
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. …
16a The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. …
22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
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.

 

Amen and Amen.

Note:
The following message is the second part of a teaching that consists of two parts.
It is recommended to read the message chronologically.

 

 

The characteristic of the seraphim is related to the desert and Jesus Christ on the cross, because the people of Israel encountered the fiery (note: Hebrew ‘śārāṗ’) serpents due to their murmuring in the desert, so that many Israelites died. Moses made based on the instruction of God a lifted bronze serpent on a staff, so that anyone who looked at that lifted serpent after being bitten by a fiery serpent would be saved from death.

 

This event and the raised serpent were already pointing to Jesus Christ on the cross, who became the curse for mankind, in order to give those who would believe in Him the possibility to receive eternal life (Numbers 21:6-9 i.c.w. John 3,14-17; Galatians 3,13-14).

 

Numbers 21:6-9:
6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.
7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

 

John 3:14-17:
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
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.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

 

Galatians 3:13:
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

 

It was also the wilderness where the forerunner for Jesus Christ, who was the prophet John the Baptist, dwelt and prophesied (cf. Mark 1:3).

 

Mark 1:3:
… 3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ”

 

In this context, the desert represents a place of separation from society, which is similar to a consecrated state, since the word ‘holy’ can also be translated as ‘being set apart’. It was the prophetic anointing of John the Baptist by which people were drawn out of their lives in society into the desert in order to enter into the process of repentance and conversion, and herein become consecrated vessels for God.

 

 

The living ‘furnace of fire’ composed of the seraphim, which Isaiah saw in his vision in the throne room of God, revealed the presence of Jesus Christ as the Crucified. It is the presence that carries within it the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the fear of the LORD. This is especially evident because the Hebrew word for ‘altar hearth – ‘ărî’ēl’ sounds just as phonetically as the Hebrew word for ‘lion’.

It is the lion of the tribe of Judah interwoven in the spirit realm with the slain Lamb of God, as Revelation 5:5-6 explains to us.

 

Revelation 5:5-6:
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
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.

 

It is the seraphim who are assisting in bringing our spirit being into the victory realm of the cross of Christ, so that in His holy presence we may have that which has defiled our inner being finally purified (cf. Ephesians 4:23 i.c.w. Isaiah 6:6-7).

 

Ephesians 4:23:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; …

 

Isaiah 6:6-7:
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

 

There is also a deeper meaning behind the number of the seraphim having three pairs of wings that make up the number ‘6’, which is associated with the creation of man because God created man on the sixth day (cf. Genesis 1:27.31).

 

Genesis 1:27.31:
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. …
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning – the sixth day.

 

The number of the pairs of wings ‘3’ as well as the number of the wings ‘6’ of the seraphim point to Jesus Christ, the Son of Man in His achieved victory over the enemy on the cross of Golgotha (Note: Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day; cf. Luke 9:22).

 

This also means, in terms of Isaiah’s vision, that Isaiah was in the center of Jesus Christ’s triumph, even though Jesus had not yet been crucified at that time. It is important to be aware that with God, the ‘I AM’, eternity (note: past, present and future) always includes the NOW.

 

Accordingly, in order to be able to stand in the fatherly-royal rulership of God, it is essential that we go into the living furnace of God, where the great roar of the Lion of Judah is located, who is also the Lamb of God. This sanctifies our spiritual being and activates the prophetic spirit within us, so that we begin to speak sanctified words of God which we receive from Him (cf. Amos 3:8 i.c.w. Psalm 12:6).

 

Amos 3:8:
8 The lion has roared – who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken – who can but prophesy?

 

Psalm 12:6:
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.

 

Further, by dwelling in the living furnace of fire, we enter into an even more intense relationship with God the Father so that we continue our journey supernaturally as we dwell in His supernatural resurrection presence as the Alpha and the Omega. This is illustrated by the covering of the seraphim’s pairs of wings on their faces and in the covering of their feet, as well as their moving wings (cf. Isaiah 6:2 i.c.w. Revelation 1:8).

 

Isaiah 6:2:
2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

 

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.”

 

 

Being covered in this context means to be anointed or authorized by God to move in faith in the supernatural realm of the Spirit and to carry out the will of the Heavenly Father on earth without seeking glory for oneself (cf. John 6:38; John 7:18).

 

John 6:38:
38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.

 

John 7:18:
18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

 

It is the living furnace of fire that is composed of the seraphim, and it is the throne chariot of the LORD that is made up of the living creatures or Kerubim (cf. Ezekiel 1:19-22; Ezekiel 10:11-17 i.c.w. Psalm 18:10).

 

Ezekiel 1:19-22:
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault, sparkling like crystal, and awesome.

 

Ezekiel 10:11-17:
11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.
12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15 Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.
16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.
17 When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.

 

Psalm 18:10:
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

 

This living furnace of fire and the throne chariot of the LORD clearly shows that everything that exists with God in the spirit realm is alive and full of light, illustrated by the many wings and eyes in the spirit realm where the LORD moves (Ezekiel 1:18; Ezekiel 10:12; Revelation 4:6 i.c.w. Matthew 6:22; James 1:17; 1 John 1:5).

 

Ezekiel 1:18:
18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

 

Ezekiel 10:12:
12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.

 

Revelation 4:6:
6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.

 

Matthew 6:22:
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

 

James 1:17:
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

 

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.

 

Thus we see that the willingness to be in the living fiery furnace of the LORD, which is related to holiness and purification, is a choice. The holiness to be pursued, as well as the renewing of our mind (note: spirit, soul, understanding) doesn’t happen to us without surrendering to Him with His supernatural identity, the essence of God.

 

The time has come to acknowledge God’s plan according to His Word in this season of new power and transformation, and to allow Him to change us more deeply in His governmental rule, in order to honorably exercise the authority entrusted as well as assigned to us in life.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,
