God is Still on His Throne!

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

In the visions of God's throne, spiritual creatures identified as cherubim play a significant role. In Ezekiel 1, these beings are described as part of God's chariot, composed of spirit and manifesting in a form visible to human eyes only through divine revelation. Their presence underscores the spiritual nature of heavenly things, distinct from the physical realm. Ezekiel appears to have been transported by a cherubim, an experience likened to the carrying away of Enoch and Elisha by the chariot of the Lord, highlighting the mobility and power of these creatures in serving God's will. In Revelation 4, the cherubim are linked to the four living creatures around the throne, full of eyes and possessing six wings, symbolizing the exceeding knowledge and all-seeing power of God. Their forms—a lion, a calf, a face like a man, and a flying eagle—represent qualities of God such as royal authority, strength, intelligence, and swiftness in executing divine commands. Positioned in the midst and around the throne, they offer ceaseless reverence and support, portraying the majesty and providential government of God with firmness, energy, and directness. Wherever God moves, the cherubim accompany Him, bearing what seems to be a portable throne, a smaller replica of the main throne seen in visions. This portrayal emphasizes their role in facilitating God's presence and authority across spiritual realms, as witnessed by prophets in their divine encounters.

God Is Still on His Throne

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Martin G. Collins

In the visions of God's throne, the cherubim are depicted as spiritual creatures of significant importance. In Ezekiel 1, they are likely the beings described as part of God's chariot, composed of spirit and manifesting in a form that accompanies the glory of God. This chariot, associated with a rainbow over crystal, underscores their role in divine movement and presence. Ezekiel seems to have been carried by a cherubim, similar to the experiences of Enoch and Elisha, indicating that these beings serve as a means of transport for the throne of the Lord when it departs or approaches. Furthermore, in Revelation 4, the four living creatures, linked to the cherubim described in Ezekiel 1:5-25 and chapter 10:1-22, are heavenly beings of the highest order, integral to the worship and government of God. Positioned in the midst of and around the throne, they embody qualities such as royal power, strength, intelligence, and swiftness in executing God's purposes. Their ceaseless reverence and service support the throne, symbolizing the energy, firmness, and intelligence with which God's government is administered. Wherever God goes, the cherubim accompany Him, bearing what appears as a portable throne or a smaller replica of the main throne seen in Revelation 4. This portrayal highlights their essential role in the divine presence and mobility, whether in reality or as depicted in visions.

God's Sea of Glass (Part 1)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

In the vision described by Ezekiel, there is a remarkable account of cherubim associated with the throne of God. These spiritual beings are part of a temporary, movable throne that accompanies God wherever He goes, highlighting the dynamic and ever-present nature of His authority. The cherubim, as seen in Ezekiel's vision, likely served as a means of transport, similar to the experiences of Enoch and Elisha, who were carried away by the chariot of God to separate places. This illustrates that such spiritual entities, manifest to human eyes only by God's will, are used according to His great pleasure and purpose.
