9:13, 15).īefore the flood, the earth was watered by a mist that came up from the ground. God referred to the rainbow as “My rainbow” and “My covenant” (Gen. God set a rainbow in the sky as a sign of His promise to never again destroy the earth with a flood. In the days of Noah, God sent a flood which killed everyone except the eight people in Noah’s family. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” (Gen 9:8-16) 21:19-20)Ĩ God spoke to Noah…saying: 9 “As for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you…11 Thus I establish My covenant with you: never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make…for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth…15 I will remember My covenant…the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 28:17-20)ġ9 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper …the fourth emerald…20 the sixth sardius… (Rev. These colors are seen in the stones in the New Jerusalem and on the high priest’s breastplate.ġ7The first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald this shall be the first row 18 the second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond…20 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.
God is a consuming fire which He defines as a jealous or zealous desire (burning passion).Ģ4For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous (passionate) God. God’s desire is shown forth both in redeeming or punishing sinners, depending on their response to Him through Jesus. The fire of God’s desire is the same as His zeal to judge or remove all that hinders love. The sardius stone points to God’s passion as manifest in redemption or judgment. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal… (Rev. The Shekinah glory of God’s jasper light fills the Eternal City.ġ0The holy Jerusalem…11 having the glory of God. The first thing God’s reveals about His appearance is that it is a jasper-like light (supernatural diamond-like radiance). The sardius stone is a fiery red or ruby like gem. He radiates with jasper or diamond like glory which speaks of His beauty and truth, as well as with sardius like fiery desires, and His emerald tender mercy. How God looks and what He feels are deeply connected. God revealed His appearance in three significant colors (jasper, sardius and emerald). Second, we ask God to reveal (release) a spirit of revelation about the Throne (Eph. The power of God’s Word touches us as we declare it back to God. Bible study must create an active dialogue in our heart with God. It is not enough to study about God, we must talk to God about God. We fill our mind with truth about God by long and loving mediation on what God’s Word says about God.ĥI will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty… (Ps. Seven lamps of fire were burning… 6 Before the Throne there was a sea of glass…around the Throne, were four living creatures… (Rev. 4 Around the Throne were 24 Thrones…I saw 24 elders…they had crowns…5 From the Throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. 3 He who sat there was like a jasper (diamond like) and a sardius stone (deep red) in appearance and there was a rainbow around the Throne, in appearance like an emerald (green). REVELATION 4 IS THE HIGHEST REVELATION OF GOD’S BEAUTY IN SCRIPTUREĢ I was in the Spirit and…Throne set in heaven, and One sat on the Throne.
