![]() ![]() I want to begin in the Old Testament, in the prophet Isaiah, chapter 11, verses 1-3. I believe you will find this inspiring but also challenging. ![]() I’ll be explaining the part that the fear of the Lord played in the life of Jesus. Well, today I’m going to be talking about Jesus as our pattern. Giving Him an absolutely unique place in our lives. In Exodus 20 verse 3 where God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” And I suggested that this is actually the fear of the Lord worked out, giving God total preeminence, never putting anything else before God or on a level with God. You can enjoy it and worship Him, but there’s always this realization, there’s just one step I must not take because it will be disaster.Īnd then the other way that I described the fear of the Lord was with reference to the first of the ten commandments. It’s like being right at the top of the mountain. God shares with us His grandeur, His beauty, His power, His wisdom, it’s exhilarating. And that will be the end!” That’s just a picture from the world of the senses to illustrate the fear of the Lord. And yet, somewhere in the center of your personality there’s this continuing realization, “I’m privileged to be here, I’m enjoying it, it’s beautiful, it’s unique, but if I take one step in the wrong direction I’ll plunge down the cliff and end in the sea. And then the person in question standing on top of the mountain looking down on the one side at the waves far below, looking out the other way, landward to a beautiful scene of fields and forest, exhilarating, beautiful, impressive, awe-inspiring. I pictured a towering craggy mountain with it’s steep slope, descending to the sea far below, all craggy and jagged. First of all I used a picture from this world to illustrate something in the spiritual realm. In my talk yesterday I described the fear of the Lord in two different ways. Unfortunately the email in which this question was asked accidentally got deleted so I could not send this answer directly to the inquirer, for which I apologize.It’s good to be with you again, sharing with you on this week’s inspiring, but also challenging theme: The Fear of the Lord. The principal thing to realize in all this is that in the final summation of things there is really only one source of the entire creation: God. With God as their inmost Guide, they project the entire universe from the most subtle to the grossest realms and enclose all conscious entities in those body vehicles which correspond to their individual levels of evolutional development. Yet so nearly total is their oneness with God’s Consciousness that their wills are flawless reflections of the divine will and their actions are truly acts of God. Only the slightest tinge of separate consciousness remains in them so they may carry out the divine creative plan. These are the seven greatest and most highly evolved beings in existence, so near to Divinity that they might even be called the seven fingers of God since their consciousnesses are to so great a degree merged with God. “In the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth” (Revelation 5:6). “And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God” (Revelation 4:5). “These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God” (Revelation 3:1). We read about them in the book of Revelation: “Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne” (Revelation 1:4). These are the seven great creators who project and direct the universe. Regarding the Seven Spirits of God, there is this from Robe of Light: But all of them are dependent on the seven major chakras. In some esoteric writings “eyes” also symbolize the points of spiritual power and consciousness that the yogis call “chakras.”Īlthough yogis mainly focus on seven chakras, we really have hundreds of chakras throughout our bodies, which is why the Bible speaks of “eyes” within and without, before and behind. In Ezekiel and Revelation various supernatural beings are described as being “full of eyes” to indicate that they are fully conscious, “eyes” symbolizing their awakened faculties of perception. Q: Revelation 4:6 speaks of “a Lamb…having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth” (Revelation 4:6.) What are the “eyes” and what are “the seven Spirits of God”? ![]()
