The Throne (From The Candlestick To The Throne) (Volume 3)

HEAVEN IS MY THRONE! The Greek word for heaven is ouranos. It is a word appearing in the New Testament 275 times. And the meaning of the word is elevation, height, exaltation, eminence. Therefore we have exactly the same thought if we say, My throne is elevation, height, exaltation, and eminence. That, my beloved, is the central idea of heaven in the New Testament! Ouranos is not a place. Can you not see the mystery? Christ has ascended to the highest heaven and therefore has been given all power and all authority in all the heavens and in all the earth! And this very Christ is now the door the star gate into the throne zone! The door is standing open, dear one, and a mighty voice bids you to come up hither to the throne zone! Oh, the wonder of it! Heaven is not a mansion over the hilltop, nor the gratifying of the needs and desires of this vessel of clay. It is not that which will bring creature comfort. It is not a state of carnal creature enjoyment and rest. Get the idea of golden streets, gold bathtubs, and gurgling streams of water out of your mind! There is no such thing materially in heaven! The celestial realm is something infinitely higher. It is eminence, power, majesty, glory, righteousness, peace that passes understanding and joy unspeakable and full of glory! It is becoming the same kind of a Being as the One who made the worlds Also covered in this volume the Four living creatures, The twenty four elders, The seven sealed book, and the universal song.
