Genesis 3:24 So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
- What is the tabernacle? What is fine linen? (the blue, purple and scarlet is another study on it's own but the colors also are highly symbolic)
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Revelation 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
- The tabernacle (God's people) is made with ten curtains of fine linen which are symbolic of the ten tribes...today's Christians. The blue color represents the elect and they cover the ark which contains the testimony/spirit of prophecy.....
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
- The blue are the cherubims, the cherubims are the two witnesses, the two groups of witnesses are those the Holy Spirit guides to...."keep the way of the tree of life." They guard at the east of Eden....the direction from which the evil comes.
That was very interesting Whirlwind. We have so much to consume in the bible. I have been in the bible 27 yrs pretty much daily and I still feel like I have only found a pinhead of the many wonderful things the Lord speaks in every verse of the bible...consuming daily the words of God and feasting on them is a pure delight for me...and others like yourself who love the Lord's words. They do bring us life in every way...lol
I found this interesting on the cherubims. The evil most certainly will come from the East and flood the earth's governments and then they will be destroyed by the Lord, so do not fear them, fear the Lord more so and follow the Lord always. lol
In Christ's love
