Shekinah Glory

Then the cloud (the Shekinah, God’s visible Presence) covered the Tent of Meeting, and the Glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle! … For throughout all their journeys the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel. … In the year that King Uzziah died, (in a vision) I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and the skirts of His train filled the (Most Holy part of the) temple. …And one cried to another and said, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.” … As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud with a fire enveloping it and flashing continually; a brightness was about it and out of the midst of it there seemed to glow amber metal, out of the midst of the fire. … And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne in appearance like a sapphire stone, and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with the appearance of a Man.  From what had the appearance of His waist upward, I saw a lustre as it were glowing metal with the appearance of fire enclosed round about within it; and from the appearance of His waist downward, I saw as were the appearance of fire, and there was a brightness (of a halo) round about Him (Exodus 40: 34; Isaiah 6: 1-3; Ezekiel 1: 4, 26, 27). 

 Do you realize that this is a very special day in history and that this particular day or year will never occur again (as far as I know).  Take a look at the numbers representing this point in time:  1 – 1 – 13 and then look with me at the numbers and what they symbolize from a Biblical viewpoint (Robert Johnson:  Numbers in the Bible). 

 ONE  usually deals with the beginnings of things (Genesis 1: 1).  ONE speaks of a sufficiency which needs no other; and an independency which admits no other.  Deuteronomy 6: 4 says, “The Lord our God is ONE Lord.”  In Ephesians 4: 4-6 we read, “There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as you are called in ONE hope of your calling; ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”   There is a seven-fold affirmation of real and abiding unity in the Body because in the center of all is the “ONE Lord.”

 THREE  is the symbol of completeness.  In  measurement there are three dimensions, length, breadth, and thickness and they go into making up a solid; therefore, THREE speaks of solidity.  Solidity and completeness suggest the TRIUNE God, so  THREE denotes Divine testimony or manifestation.  There are THREE attributes of God; He sees all, He is all-powerful, and He is present everywhere at any given time.  The concept of “fullness” is employed THREE times; the fullness of God (Epheisans 3: 19), the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4: 13), and the fullness of the Godhead (Colossians 2: 9).  THREE times, too, are believers on the Lord Jesus Christ called to “walk worthy” of Him:  “I beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called” (Ephesians 4: 1); “That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing” (Colossians 1: 10); and “That you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto His kingdom and glory” (1 Thessalonians 2: 12). 

 The complete manifestation of evil is seen in the THREE-fold enemy of the believer; the world, the flesh, and Satan; while the completeness of temptation is recorded in 1 John 2: 16:  “The lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.”  The Divinely perfect witness to the GRACE of God on earth is given in the same epistle:  “There are THREE that bear witness on the earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood” (5: 8).  The completeness of the APOSTASY of men is summed up in Jude 11:  “Woe unto them!  For they have gone the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.”

 Today’s date (still in USA) 1-1-13 reveals THREE ONE’s and a THREE; therefore I see today the “Beginning of the fullness of God manifesting everywhere on earth in ALL of His power.  I also see a corresponding evil manifesting parallel to what God is going to do.  However, the Scriptures above speak of a GLORY so great; far greater than most of us have witnessed in our entire lives that will touch the earth!   I BELIEVE that this is already beginning to happen.  The CLOUD is the manifested PRESENCE of Almighty God and the FIRE is His GLORY.  His GLORY was manifested to Moses as a burning bush…the fire burned but did not consume.  I believe the fire consumes anything NOT of God in the lives of believers; it is a refining fire that purifies us to be as silver and gold (Malachi 3: 3). 

 I have a sister in Christ who has been in the third heaven and God has revealed some of what is to take place in the coming days.  She describes it as follows.“The Cloud was the most excited and exceedingly exalted.  Mighty power and all kinds of rays and emanations were upon all sides.  I cannot describe what He was like in the Cloud.  There came out from Him in a huge wave something that appeared to be His very own self in mighty glory and in the Cloud yet He did not leave His high place in the heavens either, yet He did.  He was in so much activity and moved about over the heavens that opened below Him.  The great wave of Himself in the Cloud also descended with tens of thousands of mighty angels down towards the earth.  It did not descend slowly or softly but in great haste and speedy activity.  When it was some distance from the earth it hovered there for a while suspended over the heads of the people but they did not see it nor did they know it was there.  And there it rested.  After a while this other Cloud that was Himself ; so much so that it seemed that He had partly left the heavens; became again very active and then another speedy movement and it descended again.  This time it went clear down to the earth and covered it from my view.  Then He spoke saying, “This which you see will not take My loving sons by surprise because they are waiting for it to take place.  They are already knowing and have been advised and are waiting for Me to come to them in love, for they will love My appearing.”

 I BELIEVE there will be a SUPER/natural OUTPOURING of God’s Glory over His sons and daughters in this coming year.  It has started in some places in the world already , but it is going to be such an exceedingly abundant outpouring that it will seem to be a MOUNTAIN of fire covering the earth.  Great shades of darkness will gather together more and more until they form into a terrible force of darkness which will unite to make war against the firey mountain.  As they antagonistically rise up in fury and draw near to the mountain, they will be consumed instantly by the firey brilliance of the flames which will not even rise up against them.  They will go right on burning gloriously in a wondrous beauty in the likeness of His fires in the great Cloud.  I am ready; are you?
