Ezekiel 1-3/Mark 13-14
See, hear & live.
OT – 1:26-28 Above the surface over their heads was what looked like a throne made of blue sapphire. And high above this throne was a figure whose appearance was like that of a man. From his waist up, he looked like gleaming amber, flickering like a fire. And from his waist down, he looked like a burning flame, shining with splendor. All around him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow shining through the clouds. This was the way the glory of the LORD appeared to me. When I saw it, I fell face down in the dust, and I heard someone’s voice speaking to me.

NT Flash Points – 13:24-27 “At that time, after those horrible days end,
the sun will be darkened,
the moon will not give light,
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with great power and glory. And he will send forth his angels to gather together his chosen ones from all over the world–from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

Every good thing
Perspective:
Speak what the Spirit speaks
Preach the revelation of Jesus, not the effects of redemption
SV = (under the word or voice)
Disappointed? In Jesus? In yourself?
Typical disciple.
Lost faith in myself, God, other people
Then came Jesus.
Defeated Christians, knowing nothing of the power of Jesus to overcome the daily sludge.
It seems the devil had won, the Light was extinguished.
Then comes Jesus & I discover He’s alive at the point of my need
My lowest point.
