    A Temporary Throne – 21

     CHAPTER 21

    Once more, I was carried above the clouds, above the heavens, and into the Place of the THRONE of GOD.

    THE LORD walked to a Place near me and in the midst of the GLORY surrounding THE LORD, I was seated as another THRONE suddenly appeared.

    For an instant I thought I beheld THREE THRONES in a PERFECT CIRCLE, ALL OCCUPIED BY THE LORD.

    Then THE LORD SPOKE to me:

    THE THRONE OF HEAVEN IS WHEREVER I AM SEATED. I AM THE LORD.

    In an instant, I was once more laying prostate and lifeless before the LORD.

    THE THRONE OF HEAVEN IS WHEREVER I AM STANDING. I AM THE LORD.

    As instantly as I had appeared at the feet of the LORD, I was once more seated in THE THRONE and THE LORD stood facing me in Light of His COMPLETE GLORY.

    THE THRONE OF HEAVEN IS WHEREVER I GRANT MY AUTHORITY. I AM THE LORD.

    Once more, THE LORD IS seated in THE THRONE near me, as ONE.

    I AM THE LORD OF COMPLETE LOVE NEAR TO YOU, ROGER.

    A Temporary Throne – 20

    Previously…

    I WILL TELL THEM ONCE MORE.

     Genesis 9:7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Bring forth abundantly in the earth And multiply in it.”

    … I paused to consider God’s covenant with Noah and the few survivors for a cleansed creation.

    CHAPTER 20

    God had once again given man a blessing. God had once again given man a command, Go into all the world (to rephrase from a later Word) … be fruitful and multiply… and whatever you do, DON’T kill each other.

    Simple enough, Right? I had no better commands for Noah. Like in Eden, it was all dependent on obedience.

    And as for Abel’s murder after Eden, God had also warned Cain about jealousy over blessing:

    Genesis 4:7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.

    All Noah’s sons and their wives and offspring had to do was to ‘do well’ by obeying the LORD God who had saved them.

    As God reminded me of Genesis 9:11, the LORD showed me a building.

    Genesis 11: “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

    The people were NOT in many places, but crowded together into one city.

    Disobedience! Just like in Eden. And furthermore, man in gathering together had set their hearts against God; for they had proclaimed:

    Genesis 11:4 “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

    We returned to THE THRONE of Heaven. It seemed I couldn’t command obedience from mankind; men and women wanting to ‘make a name for ourselves.’

    A Temporary Throne – 19

     CHAPTER 19

    Genesis 8: “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

    22 “While the earth remains,
    Seedtime and harvest,
    Cold and heat,
    Winter and summer,
    And day and night
    Shall not cease.”

    I could do no better; yet it seemed GOD expected more that I should covenant with Noah and man to follow (which would include you and me). Noah, as Priest to God has God’s authority over his family and over all the animals.

    God listens.

    “Rule over every animal of the earth.” I said.

    God nodded approval.

    “Man may kill animals, but NO murder.”

    (God nodded.) I seemed to be getting the idea.

    ROGER! HAVE YOU NOTHING TO ADD?

    “LORD,” I replied, YOU have already told them to ‘be fruitful and multiply on the earth.’”

    I WILL TELL THEM ONCE MORE.

     

    Genesis 9:7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply;
    Bring forth abundantly in the earth
    And multiply in it.”

     

    HAVE I NOT BLESSED NOAH’S SONS AND WIVES AND THE GENERATIONS IN THIS?

    The LORD asked me.

    I paused to consider God’s covenant with Noah and the few survivors for a cleansed creation.

    I SWEAR MY PART OF THIS COVENANT:

    Genesis 9:11 “Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
