“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Isaiah 42: 10 Sing to the Lord a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Hallelujah
The Four winds of heaven – Explanation Destroying the beasts in the soul (Fleshly deeds)
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we are able to read that when God saved and delivered the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians they sang and praised God. When they saw all the Egyptians dead, praise and songs are arising from all their souls.
Till that time, the Israelites lived in many types of snares and pressures and God commanded a beautiful redemption for Israel, the church. In the same manner, in our lives the many appearances in our soul (the things that does not please God), these are destroyed by God by blowing his wind and makes the river of God to receive life in our soul and to abide in us forever.
In the vision that God gave Daniel we see that four kinds of different images, four great beasts came up. These are coming up from the sea. Sea signifies our souls which are without a proper salvation. This sea is the soul of the people of the world. That is what, in the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream. God gave a dream in this manner and is showing as a pattern regarding our soul. That is, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. This wind is the words of Christ in the four gospels. When these words come into us, there will be changes occurring in our heart.
Revelation 14: 6, 7 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
The one with the everlasting gospel is our Lord Jesus Christ. His voice was like the sound of many waters. He is always judging us and guiding us. His judgement will take place in our soul. How are we worshiping God? Or Are we giving place for other gods to work in our soul? Such things he judges well in our soul and only then he gives joy to our soul. That is why, it is written that for the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God.
God is observing carefully whether those who have received God’s salvation are giving place to other gods. Psalms 53: 1 – 4 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.
God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?
Such people, for God to correct their hearts in their lives, God makes the four winds of the heaven to blow. That is arising from the sea, which is their soul.
Daniel 7: 4 – 8 The first was like a lion and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
“After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.
I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.
In the above mentioned verses, the four kinds of beasts because they are inside man, he comes flying in the midst of heaven as the one who has the everlasting gospel and the four winds as the words of gospel blows within us and each beast (our flesh, world, lust, pride such kind of characters) is being sent out by God. God is revealing these things to Daniel. But Jesus Christ, who has the gospel is removing these characters from us and is giving salvation to those who believe in God’s words.
This four winds (Christ) in our wicked lustful soul comes down greatly and delivers us. He delivers the soul and gives his salvation.
God is revealing about these things to the prophet Ezekiel. Also, he is revealing this to John in the island of Patmos. The facts about these things we will meditate God willing tomorrow. In this manner, let us all submit ourselves for God to deliver us.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
