Looking Through the Sea of Glass

The Jasper stone is clear like a diamond where the carnelian is red like fire. Revelation 21:11 says that the jasper stone “shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal.” This is what I saw, the brilliance that was bedazzling; it brought tears to my eyes. What is my point? First of all most of us has never seen the clouds open and see a vision so clear coming out of the sky as the prophets of old experienced. Second, we have been shown so many times in the Word of God that He is real and His Son Jesus (Yeshua) came as a baby, suffered and died a horrific death for us this is proven by the Jewish prophets.

Yeshua was resurrected from the grave and this feat was proved by Messiah Yeshua’s disciples (Talmidim in Hebrew) that he arose with thousands of new converts known today as Christians. Who would follow someone and give their life to someone who did not arise from the grave, in addition, they saw, touched, ate and were pastored to by Messiah Yeshua for forty days before he ascended into heaven, to sit at the right hand of God? Why did Messiah Yeshua stay around? The disciples had to learn how to open their spirit and soulful eyes to the impossible and give credence to the ministry they were on embarking upon, while Messiah Yeshua was still appeared to thousands as proof of His resurrection. There had to be physical proof of the arisen Messiah for the Messianic Jewish Disciples to go forth and spread the “Good News.” People had to visualize the risen Messiah and have a real relationship with Him in the flesh so that their ministry would have credence. A well-defined New Covenant was established with the newly anointed Christians, and it would give them the confidence to evangelize to all of the nations.
