<TITLE>17. Par 147-152</TITLE>L-147 How would you all like to see Him setting upon His glory? Let's turn over in Revelation 21:10, right quick, and just take a look at Him here. All right, 21:10 to 11.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Having the glory of God:... Having the glory of God: and her lights was like unto a stone most precious, even like jasper, as clear as crystal;
Her Light... The Light. Who is the Light?
And the city had no need of the sun,... because the Lamb is the Light thereof.

L-149 Jasper, sardius stone: the glory of God is Jesus Christ; the glory of Jesus Christ is His church. And He was the First. What was He? He was the Beginning of time; He is the Ending of time. He was the First of the patriarchs; He is the Last of the patriarchs. He was the church that was in the... He was the--the Spirit that was in the church of Ephesus; He is the Spirit of the church in Laodicea. He is the First and the Last, A to Z: First, Last, He that Was and Shall Come, Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star, the Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon. Oh, there's four hundred and something titles in the Bible pertains to Him. Just think of it, what He was. And yet He was the lowly Lord Jesus that was born in a manger to the praises of God.
Anything that's humble, watch it, 'cause that's right. Anything that's big is a stuffed shirt, so don't pay no attention to it (See?); it's a lot of wind and not nothing to it. All right.

L-151 Now, "He was to look upon as jasper and sardius stone." Let's turn back. I get... We got a little time, haven't we? We got about forty minutes yet. Let's notice; let's turn back to Ezekiel 1. Go back in the Bible to the Old Testament, unto Ezekiel, and let's read here where Ezekiel saw Him too, and compare these Scriptures now and see where we're at. Ezekiel the 1st chapter, all right, now let's read for a moment. I'm going to read the first five verses, and then we're going to read, I've got marked out here, from the 26th to 28. But let's read the first verses now of the 1st chapter of Ezekiel the prophet. All right.
And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, and in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month,... I was among the captives--among the captives by the river of Chebar,... (Is that right, Chebar? C-h-e-b-b-r, Chebar)... and the heavens were opened, and I saw a vision of God.
And ... (Now, watch.)... in the fifth day of the month, which is the month that king Jehoiachin's captive,
The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of... Chaldeans by the river of Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was... upon him.
And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north,...

L-152 Watch this prophet here, five hundred and ninety-five years before the coming of Christ; see how his vision compares with John's.
... a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud,... a fire unfolding itself, and the brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof was the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had a likeness of... man.
Notice the color of the Spirit of God which was above the likeness of these four Creatures, was amber. Amber is yellowish green. Now, watch: yellowish green, amber... Oh, He's the same yesterday... He revealed Hisself to Ezekiel in the midst of Ezekiel's vision. This Light that he saw coming above the four living Creatures was yellowish green. When He come to John, He appeared in the emerald which is also yellowish green. He comes now to the revelator in yellowish green. He comes to us in yellowish green, the Light. Walk in the Light; He is the Light.
