HIS TRAIN FILLS THE TEMPLE



 


HIS TRAIN FILLS THE TEMPLE



Isaiah 6:1 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE."

 

So… what does it mean to have HIS TRAIN FILL THE TEMPLE?

 

In many cultures, the length and design of a robe's train were directly proportional to the wearer's status, majesty, power, and glory. A long, elaborate train, often adorned with rich fabrics and embroidery, served as a visual representation of the king's wealth, authority, influence, and extent of his rule.

 

We also know that in the times of the Old Testament when kings would defeat their enemy, the conquering King would walk through the battleground and take the spoils for his men.

But the greatest recognition for a victorious king was signified when he would have either all, or a portion of the defeated king's robe cut off and then sewn onto the bottom of the end of his own. For a king in Old Testament times, the length of his robe would, therefore, be an indication of his greatness… i.e. the longer his robe, the more victories he had won, and the more kings he had defeated.

 

 

Do you realize how many kings and kingdoms had to have been conquered to have

HIS TRAIN FILL THE TEMPLE?

 

 

1Cor3:16 “Do you not know that you are THE TEMPLE of God?...”

 

 

It is interesting that the name “Uzziah” means: “my strength is Jehovah”…. Or… “the strength of Jah”.


So… as it says in Isa6:1…

…In the midst of all the turmoil… the storms… the battles… at a year and a time where all of the things you THOUGHT were the strength of God in your life… finally had no more rule… and they JUST DIED!

 

You finally see THE LORD …the ONLY ONE with right of decision…

HE, ALONE is seated upon a throne.


HE is high and lifted up.


All of the circumstances, situations, and problems are no longer in a place of prominence.

All of the dreams, desires, and ambitions fade in the light of His majesty, power, and dominion.

 

…When you see that ONLY “…the Most High rules in the kingdoms of men.” (Dan4:17,25,32)

 

THEN… HIS TRAIN…

HIS GLORY…

HIS MAJESTY…

HIS POWER…

HIS SPLENDOR…

FILLS THE TEMPLE…

YOU…

…ONCE AGAIN!

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
