“I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.” The Revelation of Jesus Christ 10:1
- The mighty angel’s feet were like pillars of fire.
- This reminds us of The Pillar of Fire which led Israel by night in the desert.
- The LORD Himself was in the pillar.
- As a pillar we become like The LORD.
“…he shall go out no more.”
- One who is a Pillar never leaves The Temple.
- He lives / dwells there.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever” Psalm 23:6 “Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, …. who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.” Luke 2:36-37
Yeshua writes 3 Names on one who is a Pillar.
- The Name of My God
- The Name of The City of My God = New Jerusalem
- Yeshua’s New Name = The Word of God
These 3 Names are each New Names that are given to us.
- New Names are given to us by being written on us.
- We then begin a Journey into becoming each New Name.
The Name of My God
- We begin The Journey towards function in the Name “God”.
- We begin The Journey towards function in the Name “New Jerusalem”.
- We begin The Journey towards function in the Name “The Word of God”.
Functioning in these 3 Names is each part of function as an Overcomer.
- A complete / mature Pillar functions in all 3 of these Names.
There is a Journey to fully becoming a Pillar.
- Each spiritual Age has 2 Pillars.
- Yeshua makes us into each of these Pillars.
- Once we have become each Pillar we have then fully become a Pillar.
