"FOUR FLAMES"

"FOUR FLAMES"

"After he drove the man out, he placed on the east

side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life."

(Genesis 3:24)

 

Adam and Eve cast out of The Garden of Eden

"Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers

a flaming fire:"

(Psalm 104:4)

When Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, an angel was placed with a flaming sword, and one scripture translation says, "casting flames in every direction," North, South, East and West, to guard the way to the tree of life and keep the sinning couple, "creation," from returning to the Garden; they were banned by "Four Flames."

The number "4" represents creation and Angels; according to one commentary, Angels have the nature of, and are symbolic of, wind, lightning, storm, and tempest.  Wind speaks of their force and power; lightning speaks of the "flash," or their speed and agility; storm speaks of their diversity of manifestation; and tempest speaks of their ability in strength. 

Cherubim always have to do with creation and there are always four.

"4"

 "The body is sown "in corruption, raised in incorruption"

 " The body is sown "in dishonour, raised in glory"

 "The body is sown "in weakness, raised in power"

  "It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body."

"4"

"The Seventy" went forth with a four-fold prohibition (Luke 10:4)

carry no purse

 no scrip

 no shoes

salute no man by the way

"4"

God's four-fold witness in the earth:

Signs, Wonders, Miracles and the

Gifts of the Holy Ghost

"4"

The four-fold division of Mankind:

 Lands, Tongues, Families, Nations

"4"

The trials of suffering are covered by the flame:

                                                   Troubled, but not distressed                                                     

Perplexed, but not in despair

Persecuted, but not forsaken

 Cast down, but not destroyed 

"The prophecy of Zechariah which has special reference to the earth: In chapter 4

 we have the four chariots with horses of four colors, signifying the spirits of

 the heavens acting for God in the midst of the four Gentile powers."

The angel told Zechariah that the four chariots and their horses represented the four spirits or winds of heaven as the same word is translated both as spirit and wind.

"And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits [Winds] of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth."

( Zech. 6:4-5)

Flame the NAME of Jesus Christ

O, Church, and generation who will see the coming of the Lord:  we must go forth as "flames" into every Land, Family, Tongue and Nation to "flame" the Name of Jesus Christ.  What are the four flames which must go forth into the North, South. East and West?

 

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Name of Jesus Christ

The Word of Jesus Christ

The Blood of Jesus Christ

How must we go?  We go hand in hand with the Angels:

Like the Wind: Force and Power in the Holy Ghost

Like Lightning: A "flash," with speed for time is short

Like a Storm: With diversity of Gifts of the Spirit

Like a Tempest: With Strength and ability in the Word

All four corners of the earth: North, South, East and West will feel the flames and the feathers, the angels and the ministering saints, as we go forth to reap, and gather in the sheaves.  It is a mandate of direction, and it is a replica and the completion of the circle  ...  The means used to ban man from the Garden of  Eden are being used to bring him back to the Garden   ...  "Four Flames."
