"Eyes of Passion"

 

 

"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him..."

(2 Chronicles 16:9)

The mighty eyes of the Lion of Judah: steady, conquering, deep, true, purposeful, undaunted, set like a flint, marked by profound prophetic strength  ... they are the "Eyes of Passion."

 

 

 

Lions' eyes are proportionately larger than in other comparable-sized animals.  Their eyes are well-adapted for use under very low light.  They contain a special reflective coating that will reflect even moonlight.  What?  I have to pause here and SHOUT!  ...  Ok, I'm back  ...  They reflect moonlight  ...  the moon is a symbol of the Church  ...  The eyes of the Lord reflect the Church!  If you're not shouting  ...  you be "daid"  .. dead!  Lions' eyes are effective even by starlight.  A white circle just below the eyes helps reflect light into the eyes to further improve night vision.

While we humans are looking into each other's eyes with such amorous mortal passion, THE eyes, that search to and fro for "perfect" hearts toward Him, are the most passionate eyes of all!  Who's looking for those eyes? 

Ah, the eyes of the Lion of Judah, reflecting moonlight, symbolic of the church, with a white circle: the holiness of God covering creation so that when it reflects back, He sees only purity from those He has forgiven.  And the starlight?  A reminder that He, God, created the universe and all that is therein; they twinkle and sparkle at His bidding  ... 

 

 

Passion means Love, deep, fierce, fiery love, and this kind of love is more than candy, roses, and diamonds; it's a "reflection" of the passionate eyes from above, a reflection of "true love" from the portals of glory, a passion that runs deeper than once a year, a passion that's red  ...  red with the blood shed for all mankind, a passion reflected from the highest stance  ...  the bended knee  ...

Eyes of Passion always notice the lowly things, the things many dismiss, the things of humility, the things of earth that are closest to the "dust," the lost, the hungry, the feeble, the sinful, and the hurting  ...  Eyes of Passion are beyond amorous glances; they seek to know THE perfect heart, that they may become "the perfect heart" to present a "perfect heart" to less than perfect hearts throughout the earth  ... 

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes

of him to whom we must give account."

(Hebrews 4:13)

 

 

The eyes of the Lion, the eyes of Almighty God, Jesus Christ the Righteous, are upon us.  They are eyes that know, eyes that long, eyes that desire, eyes with tears, eyes that beckon the "dust" with the very breath of His nostrils  ...  O, that He could inhale and draw all creation to Him  ...  He WILL ...  He created the world; it's His, and He's coming back  ....  

 

 

It's not at all a mystery  that God would compare Himself to a lion in Joel, Amos, Obadiah and other places, as He said, "I will be like the lion, who suffers not the prey to be taken from him, but boldly defends it with all the fierceness he possesses: so also will I do, I will not suffer my people to be taken from me."  If you want to hear a roar, try coming against God's own! 

 

 

The Lion of the tribe of Judah reigns; He will return to set His feet upon the Mount of Olives and He will declare victory over planet earth; what He began, He will end; it's not defeat as long as the Lion roars; there will be a showdown and the tormentor will be cast into the Lake of Fire by ONE angel; the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof!  Don't question His authority, His power, His glory, His might, His omnipotence, His ability to WIN; if you do, He'll ask you my most favorite of all of His questions, "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the world?"  

Ah, the eyes I can't wait to look into, the eyes that have watched over me for many years now, the eyes that guide me day by day, the eyes I strain to see in the moonlight, the eyes holding me with their love, the eyes of the lover of my soul, the eyes of the Lion of Judah: "Eyes of Passion."
