November 2005
This month is the beginning
of The Ezekiel Wheel Project.
The prophet Ezekiel saw a vision of the
glory of God, which is still visible today.
The problem is not with God's
desire to show us His glory, but our willingness
to seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right
hand side of God. 1

My Chart Booklet
The Lord has given me
the ability to illustrate His word by
creating over thirty Bible study charts,
such as Ezekiel's wheel in the middle
of a wheel vision. I have a complete chart
booklet, but only a limited number are
in print. The charts are available on
this website for your viewing and downloading.
In the near future, it
will become a chain booklet. A few will
go into circulation, depending upon those
who receive them to make five to ten copies
and then pass them on for others to copy.
Our distribution can continue this way,
with the help of the friends of this ministry,
since we no longer have the ability to
physically produce and distribute items
for this outreach.
The booklet is called
Illumination Bible Charts.
It helps a person understand the revelation
of Jesus Christ. The charts may seem complicated
for the novice, but as you progress in
the study of God's word, they will become
easier to understand through the help
of the Holy Spirit, giving you the desired
illumination. 2
The Ezekiel Wheel Project
View: The
Ezekiel Wheel Project Chart
This is called a project,
because I see how our understanding of
Ezekiel's and John's
vision of God's throne room could be enhanced
in 3D or possibly even in video. The shape
can be seen more clearly when viewed from
three dimension.
In
the Bible, God's glory is described in
several similar ways. The Children of
Israel experienced a whirling pillar,
which as a cloud gave shade in the day
and as fire gave light in the night. 3
Ezekiel saw it as an bright-amber whirling
cloud. 4 Elijah
saw it as a chariot of fire as he went
up in a whirlwind into heaven. 5
The Apostle John saw an emerald rainbow
around God's throne, which I believe is
the whirlwind of life. 6
This vision of God's
glory becomes the shape of a lighthouse
if you picture yourself placing your fingers
around the throne center and stretching
it upward while the outer rim stays in
place. Envision the wheel becoming a cone
reaching from heaven to Earth, showing
the omnipresence of God's fullness interacting
with man. The smaller top of the cone
is God's throne and the larger bottom
is the emerald rainbow of the Spirit of
Life covering the entire Earth, during
this time of grace. We are seated with
Him spiritually on the throne, 7
but we worship in union with Him in Spirit
and in truth while here physically on
Earth. 8 As we look
up through the emerald whirlwind, we see
Jesus face to face.
Here's More Illumination
The
Lord shows me the cone shape of a megaphone,
as I recall how He spoke to Job out of
a whirlwind. 9 I
see the sevenfold character of the Holy
Spirit flowing down and all around the
sides as an emerald whirlwind. The megaphone
shape intensifies and directs the sound
of God's voice as He speaks, sending forth
the sevenfold Spirit of wisdom, understanding,
counsel, might, knowledge, fear and righteousness.
10 These seven attributes
of God's character are sent out into all
the Earth, 11 giving
creativity to those who flow with the
emerald rainbow of life.
I picture angels ascending
and descending up and down inside the
emerald whirlwind, similar to Jacob's
dream of the ladder between Earth and
heaven. Jacob said, "This is none
other but the house of God and this is
the gate of heaven." 12
The Psalmist David said, "The Lord
has established His throne in heaven,
and His kingdom rules over all, Bless
the Lord, you His angels, who excel in
strength, who do His word, heeding the
voice of His word" 13
Angels move with the Spirit everywhere
they go. 14
Angels are our fellow
helpers that move with us as we walk in
the Spirit. 15 We
have an innumerable company of angels
to serve us on Earth, just like Abraham,
16 Moses, 17
Gideon, 18 Elijah,
19 Daniel, 20
Joseph, 21 Mary,
22 Jesus, 23
the Apostles, 24
Philip, 25 Cornelius,
26 Peter, 27
and Paul. 28 They
are "...ministering spirits sent
forth to minister for those who will inherit
salvation." 29
The twenty-four elders
represent the Old Covenant to Abraham,
fulfilled in the New
Covenant by Abraham's seed, Jesus Christ.
30 The emerald rainbow
represents the
covenant blessings of Abraham and Christ's
blessing to the seven Gentile churches.
31 Many of the Children
of Israel will accept their Messiah during
the time of Jacob's trouble in the great
tribulation. The bright-amber whirlwind
represent the curses of the law, but "Christ
has redeemed us from the curse of the
law, having been made a curse for us (for
it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who
hangs on a tree'), that the blessing of
Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in
Christ Jesus, that we might receive the
promise of the Spirit through faith."
32
The Whirlwind of Judgment
The whirlwind is mentioned
when God's wrath is being carried out
in Scripture. 33
The Prophet Isaiah mentions God's judgment
as being like a whirlwind. 34
The Prophets Jeremiah, 35
Nahum, 36 and Zechariah
37 speak of judgment
from the Lord of the whirlwind. This whirlwind
is funnel shaped, like a tornado, bringing
God's judgment on mankind.
I believe the Lord will
speak to His church very soon, and say,
"Come up here!" 38
We will be changed, "...in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and
the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed." 39
We will then be caught up to meet the
Lord in the air. 40
The emerald whirlwind will rise up in
glory. The Apostle John saw the rainbow
encircling the throne room right after
the rapture of the church. 41
He saw a Lamb (Jesus Christ) as it had
been slain, having seven horns and seven
eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the Earth come forth
from the throne to take the scroll and
open the seven seals of judgment. 42
The
emerald rainbow will turn to a bright-amber
whirlwind, a funnel of firey wrath as
in the days of Ezekiel, when the glory
of God lifted from Jerusalem, because
Judah
rejected His holiness. 43
The judgment of God will come forth on
those who have rejected the the finished
work of the cross. They have chosen to
take their own punishment for sin. The
scroll with the righteous judgment of
God is held back by seals, until all of
God's chosen are clothed with the righteousness
of His Son.
The four living creatures
introduce the 7 seals upon mankind, 44
and out of the seventh seal, the seven
angels sounds forth the trumpet judgment
upon the Earth. 45
But for a brief moment the Son of man,
Jesus Christ, as a mighty angel, the Lord
of the whirlwind descends from heaven,
clothed with a cloud and the rainbow around
His head, and his face was as were the
sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,
revealing more bitter judgment to come.
46 The seventh trumpet
sounds bringing forth the seven last plagues
-- the vial judgments. 47
As Saints, we just may be able to look
down through the amber whirlwind to see
the God's judgment take place on Earth,
but it will be no joy to see God's wrath
come to pass.
It's Thanksgiving
It is my desire to pass
this vision from God's word to as many
as possible. As you read the Word with
this vision in mind, it can help you to
see the truth more clearly. Then, you
will really have something to be thankful
for this Thanksgiving. Your relationship
with Christ will be a horn of plenty!
A vision of God's glory shows us why we
can really be thankful. As the chorus
goes, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
look full in His glorious face. And the
things on Earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace."
This is the redemptive
revelation of Jesus Christ. He is the
Lamb of God that comes forth from the
throne room of God to open the seals of
judgment. But because His blood was shed
for our sins, we are saved from the wrath
to come. Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God,
is worthy to be praised for His finished
work of the Cross.
Let us sing as Saints
with the angels, "You are worthy
to take the scroll, And to open its seals,
For You were slain, And have redeemed
us to God by Your blood, Out of every
tribe and tongue and people and nation,
And have made us kings and priests to
our God; And we shall reign on the Earth.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive
power and riches and wisdom, and strength
and honor and glory and blessings; Be
to Him who sits on the throne, And to
the Lamb, forever and ever." 48
Led By The Spirit
I pray The Ezekiel Wheel
Project takes you not only to new heights
of reality, but that some gifted person
will be led to place it into a Computer
Aided Design program and attempt to construct
it. I can only go so far with this vision
in prison.
If you are successful
in bringing forth a graphic design that
would be useful to this project, please
e-mail the results to us. Possibly, you
will have a way to turn it into a video
with all the technology at hand today.
Regardless, this project will go on by
faith, believing that God has a place
for it in the Body of Christ to bring
forth a new vision of God's glory.
A Prayer For You
Jesus prayed, "And
the glory which You gave Me I have given
them, that they may be one just as We
are one: I in them, and You in Me; that
they may be made perfect in one, and that
the world may know that You have sent
Me, and have loved them as You have loved
Me. Father, I desire that they also whom
You gave Me may be with Me where I am,
that they may behold My glory which You
have given Me, for You loved Me before
the foundation of the world." 49
