What is Glass?
What is glass? “It is a solid produced by cooling molten material so that the internal arrangement of atoms, or molecules, remains in a random or disordered state, similar to the arrangement in a liquid.” According to the definition by the Chemistry Encyclopedia. There are four significant strengths to glass. In addition, there are many characteristics of God; we will explore three of them. Just as glass has four types of strengths to endure heat, cold, and water, God requires three conditions: act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before God. (Micah 6:8). How does this tie together, you might ask? First, justify your actions before God to endure the heat of sin that comes your way. Second, love mercy when you know you have done wrong and repent when you hear nothing from God, and he gives you the cold shoulder to answer your prayers. And last, walk humbly in a manner of forgiveness and respect of the Father like the water that tries to penetrate the glass. Still, the solid construction of your faith holds when people humiliate or scandalize your name for no apparent reason. So check out another set of four words God gave me to explore in the book and be blessed. Looking Through the Sea of Glass now on Amazon.
Book Excerpt
Looking Through the Sea of Glass
The Scripture in Revelation 15:2 speaks of a literal “sea of glass” that has “fire” yet crystal clear, and Saints with harps in their hands singing, to Almighty God for His goodness and praising His Holy name; because they believed in Messiah Yeshua (Messiah Jesus) until death and into eternity? How can anyone read this scripture and not get goosebumps and feel the fire of God and His awesomeness? How beautiful this scripture reveals God’s love and passion for humankind. He wants all men to come and live with Him. This is why, He created the earth so that we could live with Him and experience the beauty that He so painstakingly created, nurtured, and breathed His breath into all creation to partake and enjoy.
There is another side to Elohim Adonai (Almighty God). He is not a man like we are, and trying to fool Him can lead to death quickly. This happened to Ananias and Sapphira in (Acts 5:11, NIV) “Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events” they kept back monies destined for the Christian cause, and then they lied about their sin. God is everywhere with eyes watching your every move 24/7, never sleeping. In Proverb 15:3 (NIV), “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.” Therefore, we cannot escape Almighty God’s hand, and we must be extremely careful how we perform our daily tasks because the Holy Spirit is actively taking notes.
Let’s look at how we can get to the “sea of glass” in Heaven - what will be the steps you have to take to secure your Heavenly home?
What is the “sea of glass”? The scripture says in Revelation 4:6 (NIV), “Also in front of the throne, there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.” Imagine the throne of the “Most High God”, who is sitting in the Heavens with His Son Messiah Yeshua on His right-side, high and lifted up as in the Isaiah 6:1? The Prophet Isaiah encounters, for the first time, Messiah Yeshua. Believe it or not, every time there has been an encounter with God, whereby man has encountered Jesus (Yeshua), the spirit and soul of man have to be purified. Before man sinned in the Garden of Eden - Jesus (Yeshua) was always our Father because the Triune God knew the man would fall and Yeshua would become our lamb sacrifice. I know there will be theological arguments on - what Isaiah saw and rebuttal about Old Testament Prophets; however, the Bible speaks of Jesus Christ throughout the sacred Scriptures.
