Title: Rediscovery of Glory
There are pessimism and despair, challenges and overcoming in life,
What choices do I have?
Today's message is that King Jehovah Gin is taken captive in the most vulnerable situation,
God's word came to Ezekiel in a desperate situation
Seeing natural and supernatural phenomena.
So what does giving this phenomenon mean?
First: It symbolizes the glory of God.
Glory!!
⇒ It is the presence of God.
⇒ God appears here.
Then if you come to this place!!
⇒ When God's glory comes, we receive the Word.
John 1:1]
There is a word in the throne
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
When the glory comes, you receive the word, and the word is God.
Joshua 3:11-13]
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord in all the earth goes before you into the Jordan.
Now choose twelve men, one from each tribe, from among the tribes of Israel.
When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, stop treading on the waters of the Jordan,
The waters of the Jordan, the waters that flowed down from above, will be cut off and will pile up.
A crisis arose when we crossed the Jordan River, but it becomes easier when the Word prevails.
Matthew 11:28-30]
Come to me, all you mourners and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle in heart and
Then your hearts will find rest.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Then, why does it become easier when you meet Jesus?!!
Because I met Jesus.
Second: When the glory comes, the need is met.
Physical fatigue is filled.
Exodus 16:6-8]
Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, When evening comes
You will know that the LORD brought you out of the land of Egypt.
In the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because the LORD
for he has heard you grumble against yourself.
Who are we that you grumble against us?
And Moses said, The LORD gives you meat in the evening to feed you,
In the morning you will be satisfied with bread, because the LORD is against him,
He has heard it. Who are we? Your grumbling is not against us.
to the LORD.
When you see glory → Eat quail in the evening and manna in the morning.
① There will be words
② There is a prosperity that needs are met.
Ezekiel 10:18]
The glory of the LORD left the threshold of the temple and rested over the cherubs.
When the glory of God leaves
→Your prosperity will collapse, and your prosperity will also collapse.
Ezekiel 5:6]
Thus saith the Sovereign LORD, This is Jerusalem.
I have placed him among the Gentiles, to surround him with nations.
Glory leaves Jerusalem when the Jewish people forsake the word.
Ezekiel 5:11]
Therefore, as I live, saith the Sovereign Lord, I swear
You have defiled my sanctuary with every abomination and every abomination.
Neither will I spare you, nor will I show mercy to you, but I will make you weak.
'Cause the people of Judah hold to my thoughts (because they worshiped idols)
Ugly things = idols, aggravated things = idolatry, anger = anger, zeal = jealousy
If you abandon the Word, worship idols, and hold onto your own thoughts, He is an angry God.
Matthew 10:37-38]
Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me
Whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
And he who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
If you love more than God, God will explode with jealousy.
It's not reasonable.
If you leave the word!!
If you do not hold on to the word and hold on to my thoughts, the devil will rule over my thoughts.
Glory leaves and everything falls.
Ezekiel 11:22-24]
Then the cherubim lifted their wings, and the wheel was with them.
The glory of the God of Israel also overshadowed it, and the glory of the LORD
I went up from the middle of the city and stayed on the mountain east of the city, and the Spirit of the Lord lifted me up.
He took him in a vision of the Spirit of God and brought him into the captivity of the Chaldeans.
The vision I saw left me and went up
This is the scene where Ezekiel is seeing a vision.
→The foot is by the river. (Babylon)
→ Because Ezekiel holds the word and stands at the center, the glory will remain.
Why is it important to know God's plan!!
Why did Abraham obey immediately?
Hebrews 11:17-19]
Abraham offered Isaac by faith when he was tested.
He was the one who received the promises, but he gave his only son.
He had already said to him, "Your offspring shall be called by Isaac.
And he thought that God was able to raise Isaac from the dead.
figuratively, he received him back from the dead.
Faith!!
Abraham knew God's plan.
The essence of temptation → I knew God's plan, and I read that obedience is better than sacrifice.
If you know God's plan, you can do amazing obedience.
If you obey→ you will be blessed→ God will take care of you.
So what are we doing in our lives?
I am accomplishing more of my will and less of God's will.
Our lives are still not enough to fulfill God's will.
So you need training.
Receive the Word in a life where God's glory comes,
In prosperity, prosperity, and life that meets our needs,
meet God,
Hearing the plan and commanding it,
your way,
I pray that you will achieve victory on the road you have planned.
Amen
