THE VOICE OF MANY WATERS

Ezekiel 10:3-4 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the
house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner
court. (4) Then the glory of the LORD went up from the
cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was
filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the
LORD'S glory.
The we read of NEW TESTAMENT LANGUAGE.
Ezekiel 11:17-20 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will
even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries
where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of
Israel. (18) And they shall come thither, and they shall
take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations
thereof from thence. (19) And I will give them one heart,
and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart
out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
(20) That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances,
and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
The same note is found in Jeremiah 31.
Jeremiah 31:31-34 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I
will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house
of Judah: (32) Not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring
them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I
was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: (33) But this
shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After
those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts,
and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be
my people. (34) And they shall teach no more every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they
shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,
saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember
their sin no more.
God compared the OLD COVENANT from Sinai with a NEW covenant, putting his laws in hearts.
• God spoke of a BETTER covenant.
• Paul said the same thing!
2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be
the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with
the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy
tables of the heart.
2 Corinthians 3:6-8 Who also hath made us able ministers of the
new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter
killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (7) But if the
ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so
that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of
Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done
away: (8) How shall not the ministration of the spirit be
rather glorious?
So, we read NEW TESTAMENT references in the midst of Ezekiel’s vision of the GLORY leaving Jerusalem.
Jesus IS THE GLORY!
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
Then it went to the east mount.
Ezekiel 11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of
the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the
city.
As Jesus rebuked Jerusalem, God rebukes Jerusalem in Ezekiel’s
day, and then the glory went to the mount of Olives where Jesus wept
over Jerusalem and from where He was taken into heaven.
This was the mount of Olives.
• Jesus wept over Jerusalem on this mountain, and also ascended to Heaven from this mountain.
Matthew 23:34-38 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and
wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and
some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them
from city to city: (35) That upon you may come all the
righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel
unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the
temple and the altar. (36) Verily I say unto you, All these
things shall come upon this generation. (37) O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are
sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together,
even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would
not! (38) Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple:
and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
temple.
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the
disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these
things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world?
Same mountain from which he left the world.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld,
he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
Between His time on the Mount of Olives talking about the temple
destruction, and ascending into heaven from the same mountain, HE WAS
CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED.
He then went to the REAL TEMPLE IN HEAVEN, to the RIGHT HAND THRONE.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made
with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself,
now to appear in the presence of God for us:
The temple WAS GOD’S WILL IN HEAVEN BEING DONE IN EARTH.
The events with the glory in Ezekiel after it left the Mount of Olives into Heaven, correspond to the DAY OF PENTECOST.
After the glory left the temple in Ezekiel 11, it returned to Jerusalem into the TEMPLE and POURED OUT A RIVER.
Ezekiel 43:1-5 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate
that looketh toward the east: (2) And, behold, the glory of
the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like
a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
(3) And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I
saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the
city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river
Chebar; and I fell upon my face. (4) And the glory of the
LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is
toward the east. (5) So the spirit took me up, and brought
me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the
house.
His voice sounded like waters!
• And that voice like waters goes into the temple.
Revelation 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they
burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
• Rev 4:15 even identifies Him as the one in Ezekiel 1, with legs of fire.
Revelation 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of
many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice
of harpers harping with their harps:
And we later read WATERS ISSUE FORTH!
But instead of JESUS going back to Jerusalem into the TEMPLE, HE COMES
IN HIS HOLY SPIRIT INTO THE TEMPLES OF THE HOLY GHOST, THE CHURCH, ON
THE DAY OF PENTECOST!!
The wings of the cherubims sounded like many waters.
Then WATERS POUR OUT!
It’s like the VOICE OF WATERS stands for the WORD OF GOD ABOUT THE SPIRIT.
• Jesus’ voice sound like many waters when He spoke to them to wait for the PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT.
• When someone talks about the HOLY SPIRIT it’s like they have the VOICE OF MANY WATERS!
Ezekiel 1:24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their
wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty,
the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let
down their wings.
Ezekiel 47:1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the
house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the
house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east,
and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house,
at the south side of the altar.
So the THRONE goes into the LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW THE TEMPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!
THE RIVER FLOWED OUT!
Just as we read Jesus went to the right hand throne and SHED FORTH or POURED OUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD like RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.
Acts 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Acts 2:33-34 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he
hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. (34) For
David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Look where the throne was in Revelation.
Revelation 4:2-3 And immediately I was in the spirit: and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
(3) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine
stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like
unto an emerald.
INSIDE A RAINBOW!
Revelation 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass
like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the
throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
So this sea of glass before the throne with a rainbow around the throne
looks a lot like the first time a rainbow was mentioned, ON MOUNT
ARARAT WHEN THE ARK FLOATED ACROSS THE FLOOD AND LANDED AT THE MOUNTAIN
WHERE A RAINBOW SHONE AFTER THE STORM.
Genesis 9:12-13 And God said, This is the token of the covenant
which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with
you, for perpetual generations: (13) I do set my bow in the
cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the
earth.
THE NEW COVENANT WAS established when JESUS WENT TO THE THRONE WITH THE RAINBOW!
Revelation 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Like he walked on water as the ark floated to the mountain, A STORM JUST PASSED!
As the flood washed away the wickedness, HE WASHED AWAY OUR SINS THE STORM OF THE WORK OF THE CROSS!!
And from that throne in Heaven, the right hand, THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED OUT LIKE A RIVER and gave POWER TO THE CHURCH.
• That’s the day the CHURCH was born.
• NEW CREATURES.
And when Jesus went to that throne to see all enemies put under his
feet, like the ark resting on ARARAT, THE CURSE WAS REVERSED.
All the curses that came after Adam lost the kingdom and was cast from the Garden was REVERSED for the believers!
• The HOLY SPIRIT is a CURSE-REVERSING POWER!
• It came from the throne where the GREEN RAINBOW OF LIFE WAS!
• And the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT will work in your lives to reverse any curse that’s there.
As Peter said the SPIRIT was POURED OUT because Jesus went to the
throne, Rev 22 says a RIVER OF LIFE poured from the throne of GOD AND
THE LAMB WHO JUST SAT THERE, and we read of tree of life with leaves
and fruit.
Revelation 22:1-2 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb. (2) In the midst of the street of it, and on either
side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner
of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the
tree were for the healing of the nations.
And to understand why Ezekiel sees it come from the temple and John sees it from GOD AND THE LAMB, read this explanation:
Revelation 21:22 KJV And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let
him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
We can come if we’re thirsty.
What did Jesus say about coming when we’re thirsty?
John 7:37-39 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus
stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink. (38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath
said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on
him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that
Jesus was not yet glorified.)
But you have to learn to WALK IN THE SPIRIT!
• WALK IN THE RIVER OF LIFE!
The curse is reversed.
• Adam left the Kingdom and left the river of life and tree of life.
• Jesus is new Adam.
• Reverses the picture.
• Goes to the throne by cherubims and four beasts that blocked Adam out.
• A green rainbow of life is there.
• He sits on the throne and pours out the river of SPIRIT KINGDOM POWER.
• Makes saints kings and priests.
It reverses curses in your life.
• Anything from the fall of Adam in your life.
At the END OF EZEKIEL… like END OF REVLATION:
Ezekiel 47:3-5 And when the man that had the line in his hand
went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me
through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. (4)
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the
waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me
through; the waters were to the loins. (5) Afterward he
measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for
the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be
passed over.
Ankles, knees, loins.
Psalms BEGINS where Ezekiel and Revelation END.
Psalms 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel
of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful. (2) But his delight is in the law of
the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
(3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
WALK with Ankles
STAND with knees
SIT with loins
Let Spirit river touch all these parts of your life and the CURSES of
ungodly counsel, way of sinners, seat of scornful will be destroyed in
your life.
• You will be like a tree planted by water.
• Leaves and fruit.
• Leaves heal and fruit feeds.
The SEED in the fruit of life reproduces that FRUIT after its kind.
The seed is the WORD OF GOD going into the GOOD SOIL OF A GOOD HEART.
The Holy Spirit is the power of the KINGDOM and is a CURSE-REVERSING power!----
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and
in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Power is the promise of the FATHER – it’s the HOLY GHOST.
Acts 1:4-5 And, being assembled together with them, commanded
them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
(5) For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
On the day of Pentecost, Peter told the listeners they got the power from Jesus’ enthronement.
Acts 2:30-33 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had
sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to
the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
(31) He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see
corruption. (32) This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we
all are witnesses. (33) Therefore being by the right hand
of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the
Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
What was POURED OUT and SHED FORTH was the SPIRIT.
The glory went to the GATE of the Temple.
