PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Note:
The following message is the last part of a teaching that consists of two parts, and we recommend reading the message chronologically.
 
The Spirit of Elijah resurrects ‘dead sons’ in order to revive the relationship with their fathers and vice versa (cf. 1 Kings 17:17.19-22 i.c.w. Malachi 4:5-6).
 
1 Kings 17:17.19-22:
17 Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. …
19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
20 Then he cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?”
21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, let this boy’s life return to him!”
22 The Lord heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived.
 
Malachi 4:5-6:
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
 
The Confrontation of Elijah on Mount Carmel and the Feast of Shavuot
 
Through the confrontation of Elijah on Mount Carmel (Note: means ‘fruit garden’) with the false prophets, the Spirit of the Lord made it clear to me that before He increases with His presence on earth to finish a long period of spiritual drought, He brings about, by prophetic ministers in His body, a holy confrontation.
 
This creates a unified and truthful heart attitude within the hearts of the people of God in order to worship Him and remove doubt. It is a confrontation of love for truth that leads to a unified setup of the hearts of the sons of God to worship the Heavenly Father (cf. 1 Kings 18:21.30-39).
 
1 Kings 18:21.30-39:
21 Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing. …
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come here to me.” They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down.
31 Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Your name shall be Israel.”
32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
33 He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood.”
34 “Do it again,” he said, and they did it again. “Do it a third time,” he ordered, and they did it the third time.
35 The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
37 Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord – he is God! The Lord – he is God!”
 
Through this confrontation, God wanted to reveal the good and bad fruits in the midst of the fruit garden. This confrontation is comparable to the statement in Matthew 13:39-43, where Jesus Christ said the following:
 
‘… and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
“As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.’
 
The Realm of Confrontation Amid the Fruit Garden
 
Elija created a realm for confrontation in the middle of the fruit garden. This is required, because if it is not done this way, we can fall out of our authority or out of the relationship we have with God. It was Adam who didn't forbid the serpent to seduce Eve in the garden of Eden, but it was God's command to Adam to plant and guard the garden (cf. Genesis 2:15).
 
Genesis 2:15:
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
 
This means that as God’s people we must not be afraid of the old serpent, but must be willing to confront it where it appears. If we do this, the heavens will work with us for the cause of God! This is essential to own or establish a realm carrying a pure and true relationship to the Heavenly Father.
 
Wavering is Removed by the Established Order of God and His Truth!
 
In places where the people of God are limping amid their fruit garden realm, it is essential to confront them with their true identity in Jesus Christ in a similar way as Elijah did. Elijah decided to do it by raising up the twelve stones of the sons of Israel and thus showing their united identity as Israelites.
 
This means that if, for example, a saint in the body of Christ is assigned to the tribe of Gad, he cannot seek to belong to the tribe of Judah. Such doings would bring an imbalance into the body of Christ. Everyone must be aware of his God-determined position or character in the body and not only accept it but also remain therein.
 
Persons in authority must be positioned in the right areas and if they are (Note: humble leaders), peace and freedom prevails.
 
If we know who we really are in Jesus Christ and know our field of authority, then we will respect our boundaries, which means that we protect our field of responsibility and don't violate the field of our neighbor. This means that we have authority over any evil influence that wants to enter our field of authority in order to expel it.
 
This is exactly what Elijah did. He asked the people of Israel the question to whom they wanted to belong and referred to their wavering spiritual condition.
 
In the midst of false sacrifice (Note: untrue worship), Elijah created with a true and undivided heart and his readiness to sacrifice a place of worship by raising up the altar out of twelve stones. These stones represented the sons of Jacob and the tribes of Israel (cf. 1 Kings 18:30-32).
 
God responded to this established order on earth with fire by striking ‘a lightning bolt’ on the altar of Israel in the midst of this fruit garden (cf. 1 Kings 18:38).
 
1 Kings 18:38:
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
 
The Baptism of Fire, The Established Divine Justice opens the Way for a Great Outpouring!
 
This means that it was a baptism with fire that produced a two-edged movement of the Word of God according to Hebrews 4:12 and a short time later drew attention to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the same mountain (cf. 1 Kings 18:38-41 i.c.w. Luke 3:16).
 
1 Kings 18:38-41:
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!”
40 Then Elijah commanded them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away!” They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.”
 
Luke 3:16:
16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with2 water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
 
This two-edged movement of the Word of God established justice and activated a new movement of authority. The reason is because Elijah heard of the Father's brotherly movement by the sound of revelation (Note: The name ‘Ahab’ means ‘brother of the Father’; cf. Matthew 12:50 i.c.w. John 12:45; John 14:9) and was instructed to go higher in order to come later down again with the outpouring from the Father's hand.
 
His following of God’s instructions would bring people to the place of decision, either to continue on their path of false prophetic voices or to follow the path of the testimony of Jesus (Note: true prophecy; cf. 1 Kings 18:41-46 i.c.w. Revelation 2:20; Revelation 19:10e).
 
1 Kings 18:41-46:
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.”
42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
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.’ ”
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
 
Revelation 2:20:
20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
 
Revelation 19:10e:
… 10e for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
 
The Outpouring of God Needs a Birth!
 
While Elijah heard the supernatural outpouring with his ears which was connected with the end of the drought period, he knew that it first required a governmental movement. This ‘movement of authority’ would obey the prophetic command of God, represented by king Ahab, as he had governmental authority over Israel at that time.
 
King Ahab as the seventh king of Israel represents in this time people in government authority who are aware of their position as brothers/sons in Christ and of their relationship with the Father.
 
They don't live according to their will, but according to the will of God, by following His instruction from the prophet who is assigned to them. They go to a higher place, which means the fellowship with God, the Father, similarly as Moses, Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and the seventy elders of the people of Israel did when they went on mount Sinai to eat in God’s presence (cf. 1 Kings 18:41 i.c.w. Exodus 24:9-11).
 
1 Kings 18:41:
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.”
 
Exodus 24:9-11:
9 Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up 10 and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky.
11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
 
This means for us, that when it comes to the great outpouring of the Spirit of God on earth, as the Lord has promised through the prophets (cf. Isaiah 11:9 i.c.w. Habakkuk 2:14), we first of all need people in leadership positions who go to a higher spiritual place, just as the disciples gathered in Jerusalem in the upper room at Shavuot/Pentecost in accordance to the word of Jesus Christ (cf. Luke 24:49 i.c.w. Acts 1:13).
 
Luke 24:49:
49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
 
Acts 1:13:
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
 
The Birth Position of the Prophets and of Elijah
 
While this is happening, the prophets in the body of Christ are in a birth position of prayer on a “lower level” associated with humility, which is the pioneer level as well as the level of the new generation to create a new alignment of time which carries acceleration (cf. 2 Peter 3:11-12a).
 
2 Peter 3:11-12a:
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.
 
Elijah was aware that there would be a supernatural acceleration of time, which he revealed through his birth state.
 
Personally, I am convinced that Elijah had faith to accelerate the times of God through his prayer and positioning on mount Carmel by connecting them supernaturally through the power of faith.
As Elijah was on a lower level of the mountain (Note: the level of spiritual birth for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit) and brought his head between his knees and sent his servant seven times to the top of the mountain (Note: the level of glory), Ahab, the seventh king of Israel, was looking for the manifestation of the Father’s hand (cf. 1 Kings 18:42-44).
 
1 Kings 18:42-44:
42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
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.’ ”
 
Considering the position of Elijah on mount Carmel, his spiritual birth state and his body (note: head, knees and feet) and likewise dividing the mountain into the three biblical feasts of the year determined by God according to Exodus 23:14-17, which are:
 
  1. Passover/the victory of Jesus Christ on the Cross, celebrated in the first biblical month of ‘Aviv/Nisan’ (Note: Elijah’s feet; the foot of mount Carmel),
  2. Shavuot/Pentecost, celebrated in the third biblical month of ‘Sivan’ (Note: Elijah’s knees; Elijah’s place of prayer on mount Carmel) and
  3. Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles, celebrated in the seventh biblical month ‘Ethanim/Tishrei’ (Note: Elijah’s head; the top of mount Carmel),
you can see that Elijah was in the realm of the Spirit and brought forth the glorious manifestation of the seven spirits of God as well as of the seventh biblical month by his intercession, because the so-called head of the year ‘Rosh Hashanah’ is in the seventh month in the biblical calendar, where the Feast of Tabernacles – Sukkot  (Note: ‘feast of glory’) is also celebrated (cf. Exodus 23:14-17).
 
Exodus 23:14-17:
14 “Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt (Note: Passover). “No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
16 “Celebrate the Festival of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field (Note: Shavuot – Feast of Weeks/Pentecost). “Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field (Note: Sukkot – Feast of Tabernacles).
17 “Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord. …”
 
Elijah brought the supernatural rushing in his ears (Note: the supernatural outpouring of God) into the position of his knees!
 
I am convinced that the LORD will come stronger than ever before from the season of Shavuot/ Pentecost with His glory, which has to do with the visitation of His secret being among His people on earth (cf. 1 Kings 8:2.10-13).
 
1 Kings 8:2.10-13:
2 All the Israelites came together to King Solomon at the time of the festival in the month of Ethanim, the seventh month. …
10 When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord.
11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.
12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; 13 I have indeed built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever.”
 
The Phase of Acceleration and The Right Hand of God
 
This means that this alignment of time is helping the prophetic people of God to enter a phase of acceleration, linked to truth within the Word of God, and at the same time carrying a great measure of glory (cf. 1 Kings 18:46 i.c.w. Ephesians 6:14a).
 
1 Kings 18:46:
46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
 
Ephesians 6:14a:
14a Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, …
 
It is about the movement of the right hand of God, which is Jesus Christ (cf. Mark 16:19 i.c.w. Colossians 3:1).
 
Mark 16:19:
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
 
Colossians 3:1:
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.
 
It is the hand bringing healing, deliverance and salvation to people and it even calls and appoints them for the plan of the Heavenly Father (cf. Exodus 33:22-23 i.c.w. Isaiah 53:4-5; Mark 5:23; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11).
 
Exodus 33:22-23:
22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
 
Isaiah 53:4-5:
4 Surely he (Note: Jesus Christ) took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
 
Mark 5:23:
23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”
 
Ephesians 4:11:
11 So Christ himself gave (Note: as gifts) the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, …
Amen and Amen.

„There is the statement of God that He has secured a holy remnant in Germany!
 
There are strong supernatural winds that unfold!
It is the ‘wind power’ that carries the spiritual measure of ‘7 x 1000’, because it is about the influence of the angels sent by God on earth (cf. Hebrews 12:22 i.c.w. Psalm 104:4)!
 
It is the LORD who holds the holy remnant like wheat in His hand and gathers them into the house of His sound to expose the ‘serpent’!
 
It is about the centering of God’s people in the roar of the Lion of Judah, so that the prophets are clearly heard in the land (cf. Genesis 49:9 i.c.w. Amos 3:7-8)!
 
I am responding and rushing in with the power of My help because of the ‘shadow of despair’ within the young generation!
 
My intervention will lead to a sudden upsurge in the new things I have established for this time and the time to come! It is an awakening that is like a young calf leaping for joy, because My righteousness spreads like a dazzling light and calls evil to account, says the LORD (cf. Judges 6:11 i.c.w. Malachi 4:2-3)!
 
While I carry the winds in My hand, there will be an apostolic arrestment of the serpent from which it cannot escape (cf. Proverbs 30:4)!
 
I will unite the plan of their nullity with their intention to conflict, so that the plan of the ‘serpent’ will be exposed (cf. Acts 28:3-5)!
 
I shatter the plan of trickery in its attack, so that the ‘serpent’ must flee disoriented, says the LORD (cf. James 4:7)!”
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The whereabouts of Samuel as a child in the house of God in the region of Shiloh (Note: means ‘tranquil, rest in the form of safety’) and his calling, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 3:1-10, holds a significant revelation for us as people of God.
 
1 Samuel 3:1-10:
1 The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.
2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.
3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
4 Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, ‘Here I am.’
5 And he ran to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ But Eli said, ‘I did not call; go back and lie down.’ So he went and lay down.
6 Again the Lord called, ‘Samuel!’ And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ ‘My son,’ Eli said, ‘I did not call; go back and lie down.’
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.
8 A third time the Lord called, ‘Samuel!’ And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ Then Eli realised that the Lord was calling the boy.
9 So Eli told Samuel, ‘Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” ’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’
 
This incident should help us to understand more deeply and also better the visitation of God to Samuel, which took place during a time of spiritual corruption by the sons of Eli (cf. 1 Samuel 2:12.14b.18).
 
1 Samuel 2:12.14b.18:
12 Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard for the Lord. …
…14b This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh. …
18 But Samuel was ministering before the Lord – a boy wearing a linen ephod.
 
The Blessing of Judah and the ‘Shiloh’
 
In the blessing of Judah, as it is no coincidence, which he received through his father Jacob, the name ‘Shiloh’ is mentioned in connection with the royal government, whom the people follow in obedience (cf. Genesis 49:10).
 
Genesis 49:10:
10 The sceptre will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs [Note: Shiloh] shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.
 
The name ‘Shiloh’ already contains the secret of Christ as the Prince of Peace who originates from the structure of the new wineskin in the form of a child and bears spiritual authority in sonship, as Isaiah 9:6-7 reveals to us.
 
Isaiah 9:6-7:
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and for ever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
 
This shows that without having received sonship in Christ Jesus, which completely changes our identity, we remain mere outsiders in the form of people who see the manifestation but are not part of the manifestation or executors of the manifestation of God Himself.
 
It is not enough just to be called, but it requires consent to the One who has called us to be obedient and to stand in testing (cf. Matthew 22:14).
 
Matthew 22:14:
14 ‘For many are invited [Note: called], but few are chosen.’
 
It is obedience to Jesus Christ, the expression of which implies love for him (cf. Genesis 49:10 i.c.w. John 14:23-24).
 
Genesis 49:10:
10 The sceptre will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs [Note: Shiloh] shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.
 
John 14:23-24:
23 Jesus replied, ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. …’
 
Samuel as a Child and the Roaring Lion
 
A reference can thus be made to Samuel as a child in the house of God in Shiloh, which is equivalent to being one in Christ, in whom we live, weave and have our being (cf. John 17:11b.21 i.c.w. Acts 17:28; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
 
John 17:11b.21:
…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.
… 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.
 
Acts 17:28:
28 “For in him we live and move and have our being.” As some of your own poets have said, “We are his offspring.”
 
2 Corinthians 5:17:
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!
 
This results in spiritual governance in the measure allotted to us by God, just as the blessing of Jacob to his son Judah reveals, which includes a lion structure that points to kingship.
 
And it is no coincidence that the Hebrew word for ‘child, boy’ is the word ‘na’ar’ and comes from a root word meaning ‘to shake loose, shake off” or also ‘to growl’, which refers to ‘the idea of the shaking/rustling of a lion’s mane that usually accompanies the lion’s roar’. (Note: Word explanation of the word ‘boy, child – na’ar’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key numbers: 5371, 5372, 5373 i.c.w. Strong’s Concordance H5287, H5288)
 
In a spiritual context, it is the roaring of the lion that goes hand in hand with the fear of the LORD and sets out God’s way of communication that He chooses through His prophets (cf. Amos 3:7-8 i.c.w. Psalm 111:10).
 
Amos 3:7-8:
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared – who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken – who can but prophesy?
 
Psalm 111:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
 
It is said that Samuel ministered under the spiritual covering of Eli as a child, during a time when the prophetic word of God and the power of vision or prophetic visions were precious and rare. These manifested only rarely due to the spiritual corruption of Eli’s sons and his failure to correct them.
 
The Sojourn in the Luminous Presence of God and the Lightnings
 
It was Samuel who, through his devotion and obedience to the LORD, chose to rest in the shining presence of the LORD OF HOSTS (Note: YAHWEH ZEBAOTH), who is enthroned above the cherubim which means ‘glancing appearance, flashing of lightnings’ (cf. 1 Samuel 3:3 i.c.w. 1 Samuel 4:4a).
 
1 Samuel 3:3:
3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
 
1 Samuel 4:4a:
4a So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim. …
 
In a prophetic context, it can be stated that Samuel in the center of rest became an outgoing lightning bolt from the throne room of God that went to Eli (Note: means ‘lofty, elevation’) and thus ‘ascended’ to a higher spiritual level through obedience (cf. Ezekiel 1:13-14; Ezekiel 10:20 i.c.w. Revelation 4:5).
 
Ezekiel 1:13-14:
13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.
14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.
 
Ezekiel 10:20:
20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the River Kebar, and I realised that they were cherubim.
 
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.
 
Here the young Samuel listened to the instruction of his spiritual father and followed his advice until God Himself changed from the auditory realm of revelation to the visual realm of revelation and thereby approached Samuel because he had previously approached God through his obedience (cf. 1 Samuel 3:4-10 i.c.w. James 4:8a).
 
1 Samuel 3:4-10:
4 Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, ‘Here I am.’
5 And he ran to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ But Eli said, ‘I did not call; go back and lie down.’ So he went and lay down.
6 Again the Lord called, ‘Samuel!’ And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ ‘My son,’ Eli said, ‘I did not call; go back and lie down.’
7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.
8 A third time the Lord called, ‘Samuel!’ And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ Then Eli realised that the Lord was calling the boy.
9 So Eli told Samuel, ‘Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” ’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’
 
James 4:8a:
8a Come near to God and he will come near to you. …
 
From this we can see that Samuel walked a total of six sections of obedience in revelation from his starting point to the resting place of Eli and rested at his last arrival at the starting point. There the voice of the LORD sounded a fourth time, and he appeared to Samuel personally.
 
As a result, from this point on, Samuel became active as a prophet and judge in Israel on the new path of the seventh section and flooded the house of God with light and new freshness (cf. 1 Samuel 3:15a).
 
1 Samuel 3:15a:
15a Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the Lord. …
 
Jesus Christ, the Starting Point of Rest and the Place ‘Shiloh’
 
This event teaches us the importance of walking in the rest of Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Sabbath (Note: the seventh day; cf. Genesis 2:2-3).
 
The opening of the seventh journey, which Samuel walked from this point on after the visitation of God had taken place, can be described in a spiritual context as the distance of a Sabbath journey, which was also covered out of the disciples’ obedience to Jesus’ instructions, in order to later receive the ‘wind and fire of God’ in the upper room at Shavuot or Pentecost (cf. Matthew 12:8 i.c.w. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:12).
 
Matthew 12:8:
‘… 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.’
 
Luke 24:49:
‘… 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.’
 
Acts 1:12:
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city.
 
This shows that Shiloh is about the entrance into the dominion rest of God in Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace, since Samuel laid in the house of God and Eli was sleeping in another place to which Samuel came because of the voice of God.
 
It was the place of Shiloh, where the presence of God also took up residence or stayed for a certain time in a fixed location (cf. 1 Samuel 3:2-3 i.c.w. Hebrews 4:1.9-11a).
 
1 Samuel 3:2-3:
2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.
3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was.
 
Hebrews 4:1.9-11a:
1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. …
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.
11a Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, …
 
It is the dominion rest that involves for us living in a state of a higher level of faith and the triumph of Christ.
 
Continually ‘abiding’ in this place of rest requires that you have previously gone through various levels of personal breakthroughs (Note: from the soulish to the spiritual realm) and let go of your own ideas. This enables us as believers to reign in Christ in challenging circumstances.
 
Furthermore, the dominion rest is a level of resting in the Father in the sonship of Christ with the understanding that He is the ruler who reigns over all and grants or has given us the freedom to reign together with Him, so that we live in the dimension of deep trust and peace – Shalom in the Holy Spirit.
 
Through his obedience to the voice of the LORD, Samuel learned to move back and forth in the movement of the seven eyes of God, which are in the Lamb of God, who is Jesus Christ (cf. 2 Chronicles 16:9a; Psalm 33:18 i.c.w. Revelation 5:6).
 
2 Chronicles 16:9a:
9a For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. …
 
Psalm 33:18:
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, …
 
Revelation 5:6:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the centre 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.
 
Samuel thus increased in revelatory knowledge and was recognized by the people as a prophet from Dan which means ‘Judge’ – in the north, to Beersheba which means ‘Oath/seven wells’ – in the south (cf. 1 Samuel 3:19-21).
 
1 Samuel 3:19-21:
19 The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.
20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognised that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord.
21 The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word.
 
According to the truth of God’s Word, is the eye, the light of the body (cf. Luke 11:34a-b).
 
Luke 11:34a-b:
34a-b Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. …
 
It is also linked to the realm of the prophetic seers (cf. 1 Samuel 9:9.18-19a).
 
1 Samuel 9:9.18-19a:
9 (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to enquire of God, they would say, ‘Come, let us go to the seer,’ because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.) …
18 Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, ‘Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?’
19a ‘I am the seer,’ Samuel replied. …
 
So let us cultivate intimacy with God and increase in the revelatory knowledge through the power of the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy (cf. Revelation 19:10e).
 
Revelation 19:10e (KJV):
… 19e for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
