Season Seven, October 2025, October 23: Who is the King of Glory? - Enthroned Above.
When I first got saved and had no knowledge of the Bible, I was young and married for about a year. My idea of heaven was holding my wife's hand and flying through the universe, exploring the wonders of God's creation.
The Holy Spirit, the Bible, and some maturity have changed my thoughts on the nature of heaven:
"And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent."
John 17:3
Who is the King of glory"?
He is seated above creation as envisioned by Ezekiel 1:26-28
"Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. 27 Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking."
Above the angels, above. Mankind, that impenetrable expanse has been bridged by our salvation. Here in Ezekiel, the angels and humanity are humbled by that expanse.
Our So What?
"Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few." Ecclesiastes 5:2
Who knows, though? Perhaps, I will have time to take Cathy by the hand and fly around creation, being enraptured by God and his infinite creation.
But in reality, the host of the redeemed our time will be occupied with God himself, his infinite wonder, his marvelous mercies, yes, His judgments as well. Our chief joy will be God himself.
That one humbling thought should guide our prayer lives while we sojourn here on earth.
Glory to God.
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen
1 Timothy 1:17
Brethren, let's pray for one another.
"What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more." Robert Murray M'Cheynee
