The Crystal Sea & The Throne
(Rev 4:6 KJV) And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. (Rev 22:1 KJV) And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Out of the throne of God flows a river of life that saves us. We must cross the crystal river of life and the crystal sea before we can get to the throne of God. The river of life is first seen in the Garden of Eden. It comes from before the tree of life, which is a type and shadow of the throne of God, Jesus Christ, and the mercy seat.
(Gen 2:9 KJV) And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. (Gen 2:10 KJV) And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Ezekiel saw the building of the third temple not a physical temple that is made with hands. Out of this temple that is built by Jesus Christ flows the river of life. Ezekiel sees this river of life and could not cross it because the way into the holiest of all, which contains the throne or mercy seat, had not been made by the death of Jesus Christ.
(Heb 9:8 KJV) The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing.
The old tabernacle of flesh, carnal mind, must be destroyed before the flesh of Christ or tabernacle without hands can be built in us also.
We will examine this river that could not be crossed in the book of Ezekiel.
(Ezek 47:1 KJV) Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. (Ezek 47:2 KJV) Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. (Ezek 47:3 KJV) And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. (Ezek 47:4 KJV) Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. (Ezek 47:5 KJV) Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. (Ezek 47:6 KJV) And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. (Ezek 47:7 KJV) Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. (Ezek 47:8 KJV) Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. (Ezek 47:9 KJV) And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. (Ezek 47:10 KJV) And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. (Ezek 47:11 KJV) But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. (Ezek 47:12 KJV) And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the Leaf thereof for medicine. (Ezek 47:13 KJV) Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. (Ezek 47:14 KJV) And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.

In order to be baptized into the spirit we must be baptized into the word. The word represents the waters that must go into all of the earth. The word is the spirit that was made flesh.
(John 6:63 KJV) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
This same spirit, which is the Holy Ghost is the waters that flows from our belly because the tree of life and the throne of God now dwells in us because we are his sanctuary. I cannot walk in the word until the truth of the word is revealed. The Kingdom of God is within us, which is power. The word of God has all power.
First I must be baptized in natural water before I can be baptized in the spiritual water that is spirit.
(1 Cor 15:46 KJV) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The children of Israel give us this type and shadow. First the children of Israel were baptized in the Red Sea and then they were baptized into the cloud around Sinai where the tablets or word of God came from.
(1 Cor 10:1 KJV) Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; (1 Cor 10:2 KJV) And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
The word, spirit, or water represents death to the Old Man. Jesus stated: (John 3:5 KJV) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Noah was saved by grace. (Gen 6:8 KJV) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
The flood baptized the entire earth and sin was washed away. Again we see that Egypt was destroyed in the Red Sea and that sin was washed away. Noah had to cross over to the other side of the flood. The ones of unbelief died in the flood.
A flood is a type and shadow of destruction such as the Egyptians, Assyria, and the Romans in 70 A.D. were prophesied to come as a flood against Israel. As long as Israel was in obedience toward God, the Ark of the Covenant always went before them and their enemies were overcome and the flood was dried up. When Israel was disobedient the flood or enemies over flowed them.
(Jer 46:8 KJV) Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
(Jer 47:2 KJV) Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
(Dan 11:22 KJV) And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
The children of Israel had to pass through the Red Sea and come to the other side. According to David he considered the Red Sea as a flood.
(Psa 66:6 KJV) He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
As another type and shadow, the earth open up and swallowed up the flood of evil in the wilderness that was brought by Korah against the righteous. The earth helped the church in the wilderness. Moses and Aaron prevailed against this evil flood of unrighteousness.
(Num 16:32 KJV) And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
Even though all of Israel had been baptized in the Red Sea and the cloud of God the majority became backsliders and died in unbelief. The ones that sinned against God and that were of unbelief died in the wilderness.
(Heb 3:17 KJV) But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? (Heb 3:18 KJV) And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? (Heb 3:19 KJV) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Later Israel had to cross over the flooded Jordan River as the Ark of the Covenant went before them, which was a type and shadow of Christ Jesus. As the Ark went before them Jesus, which was baptized and that fulfilled all righteousness, went before us. Outside of the ways of Christ Jesus there is only death. Because the blood, water, and the spirit all agree in one and all of them represent the river of life. It is necessary to be baptized in them. It is then that we receive the one baptism and are allowed to start our journey across the crystal sea.
After the flooded Jordan was crossed the ones of faith now were allowed to go into the promise land. If we do not believe we must be baptized according to Peter’s commandment found in the book of Acts. We are in unbelief and cannot cross over Jordan to the promise land and we die in the wilderness.
(Mark 16:16 KJV) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
(Acts 10:43 KJV) To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
(Acts 8:37 KJV) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
(Acts 2:38 KJV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We can now cross the river that Ezekiel could not cross because Jesus Christ goes before us and we have been baptized into his death having our sins washed away. We have entered into the ark and can cross the flood.
(Acts 22:16 KJV) And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
(1 Pet 3:21 KJV) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
The types and shadows used in the building of Solomon’s Temple agree with the heavenly temple that Ezekiel wrote about. The molten sea, which was placed at the right side of the temple, represents the crystal sea. Also the molten sea had wheels representing the word going into the entire world. There are many types and shadows of fruit, trees, lions, oxen, and cherubim’s, which represent all living things.
(1 Ki 7:39 KJV) And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.
Revelation of the word, which is still becoming the flesh and body of Jesus Christ, is what the church of Jesus Christ is built upon. His body is the church.
(Mat 16:17 KJV) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (Mat 16:18 KJV) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
As you receive revelation of the word or Jesus Christ the old man dies being crucified with Christ Jesus. When the Apostles were told to choose seven men full of the Holy Ghost they chose men that were full of the word of God this is the reason why the word of God grew with such strength. Without the word of God, rivers of living waters cannot flow out of your belly. You cannot speak with the power and demonstration of the spirit. You are given authority by being ordained of God to speak the word. Jesus had authority and power being the word made flesh as we are.
The word that was spoken by the carnal understanding of man’s wisdom, which was used by the Scribes and Pharisees, had no authority or power with God. Only the word of God has power to work the true miracles of God.
(Mat 7:29 KJV) For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
(Mark 3:14 KJV) And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach.
(1 Cor 2:4 KJV) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
(Acts 6:3 KJV) Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
(Acts 6:6 KJV) Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. (Acts 6:7 KJV) And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
The kingdom of God is power over the carnal things of this world through the word of God. Jesus overcame Satan through the word, as we must do. You can only overcome the old man by knowing what is written in the word and by being baptized into it. The word of God stands between the old man and the new man. It is the spirit and the crystal river of God that we must be baptized into.
(1 John 2:14 KJV) I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
(Isa 28:9 KJV) Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
(Heb 5:14 KJV) But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
It is the word of God that has all power, which is the Holy Ghost that must be in us. All must overcome the First Adam or Old Man by the word of the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the spirit of prophecy.
(Heb 4:12 KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(Rev 12:11 KJV) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
All that were baptized into the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost were strong in the knowledge of the word. They were devout Jews familiar with the word of God. All of these prophesied the word of God that had been placed in them by the spirit and it came forth with power.
(Acts 2:17 KJV) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: (Acts 2:18 KJV) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
The River of Life is death to the old man and the old man cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. The old man must be crucified.
(Rom 6:6 KJV) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. (Eph 4:22 KJV) That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; (Col 3:9 KJV) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds.
The flood was life unto Noah death unto the wicked. The Rea Sea was life unto Israel and death unto the Egyptians. Being baptized into the word of God is life unto the new man but death unto the old man or the man of sin. Crucifixion is a slow death and the old man dies as the new man is baptized into the word, waters, or spirit of Christ Jesus. When we accept Christ Jesus we begin to cross to the other side of the crystal river and the crystal sea through Jesus Christ, which is our ark. We are baptized into his death through the word of God and raised to walk on the other side of the flood that Satan tries to destroy us with.
Satan himself is perceived by most as an angel of light. The amount of false doctrine that Christendom teaches can easy overwhelm someone. His ministers also appear as ministers of light or righteousness. He floods the carnal minded with false doctrine and the ones that are of this world. The word of Satan, first Adam, has power only over the ones that are flesh minded! This flood of Satan is flesh, false doctrine and the carnal wisdom of man.
The dragon, beast, false doctrine is in the sea it kills one third of all living things that are in the sea. The ones that are deceived into taking the mark of the beast receive the blasphemy through the word of the ministers that appear as ministers of light.
(Rev 13:1 KJV) And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
(Rev 12:15 KJV) And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
(Rev 12:16 KJV) And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
We are of the new earth or heavenly Jerusalem that swallows up the doctrine and the wisdom of the ungodly. We now are the glory and the power of God through his word. We are the staff in God’s hand for we are the body of the Son of God that reigns over all of the powers of darkness. The Son of God or church devours the word of Satan by the flaming sword or the word of God.
(Rev 1:16 KJV) And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
(Rev 19:21 KJV) And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
This type and shadow of the word of God devouring the power and the word of Satan is given in Exodus.
(Exo 7:12 KJV) For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Babies are not filled with the Holy Ghost and power being ignorant of the word of God, and the wisdom of God. Babies do not have any of their senses exercised. They are not of full aged and do not have the power of strong meat to defeat or swallow up the false doctrine of the false prophets. When the sea or flood would overwhelm these babes the grace of Jesus Christ saves them.
Jesus Christ shows this when he delivered Peter from the tempest that would have drowned him. Peter saw the water or waves on all sides and took his eyes off from Jesus. The waves were coming in like a flood but Jesus, the ark, walked on the water and raised him up delivering him from the waters or flood that would have destroyed him.
(Psa 29:10 KJV) The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
When the enemy comes in like a flood ministering his false doctrine and his untruths God raises up a standard or banner against him, which is the sign of the rainbow covenant that is made with all living things. The rainbow that is around the throne of God represents this covenant. The word of God will put the enemy to flight.
This word of God is written in our hearts and the ministers that are sent by God come against the false doctrine of the false prophets. These ministers are represented by all the nations that have become the one nation of God, Israel. They are made up of many colors, as is the rainbow but preach the word that puts the old man to flight. The rainbow represents the people of God or standard of God. Standard, in the Hebrew, means a sign.
Joseph received a sign from his father, Israel, that he was loved greater than all of his brethren. In order that this was shown unto all Joseph received a coat of many colors. I believe it had many colors of the rainbow.
There were diver colors of gems upon the urim of the High Priest. The colors of the rainbow were there. All colors of light are present in the rainbow although the human eye can see only seven.
(1 Chr 29:2 KJV) Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
God, as king, dresses his bride, the church, in diver colors as all kings dressed their virgin daughters. God clothed Israel as his bride with broidered work. Aaron also had a broidered coat that was placed upon him.
(2 Sam 13:18 KJV) And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
(Ezek 16:10 KJV) I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
Broidered - 7553. riqmah, rik-maw'; from H7551; variegation of color; spec. embroidery:--broidered (work), divers colours, (raiment of) needlework (on both sides).
We are the standard, rainbow, or sign of God that he works through. We are the rainbows of the living God, his beloved. The signs that follow us put fear into the enemy. These signs are a standard of God coming against the enemy.
(Mark 16:17 KJV) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
The body of Christ Jesus wears the coat of many colors and is the pleasure and love of God almighty. The first and natural Israel has been rejected, as was the first Adam. The second Adam is loved as the second and heavenly Israel is the children of God. We wear the coat of divers colors and we have received the double portion of inheritance under the new covenant.
(Heb 8:8 KJV) For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: (Heb 8:9 KJV) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. (Heb 8:10 KJV) For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
The Holy Ghost is for power over the ways of the enemies through the word or witness of Jesus Christ.
(Acts 1:8 KJV) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Babes have not the understanding of the word of God and cannot be baptized into the word strongly they remain carnal minded until more revelation of Jesus Christ comes. Even though the Corinthians had gifts and spoke with tongues they were still carnal.
(1 Cor 3:2 KJV) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. (1 Cor 3:3 KJV) For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
(Heb 5:13 KJV) For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
We now understand the reason why the church, as a whole, is weak today. Very few know much of the fullness of the doctrines of the Apostles and have not been baptized fully into the word, which is the spirit that becomes the flesh of the Son of God. His body has all power here on earth through the word of God.
(Luke 10:19 KJV) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
The old man must die by being crucified and baptized in the crystal sea, word of God, before he can have access to come before the throne of God. There was a great river started at the tree of life, cross of Christ Jesus, which has flowed into all of the earth as a great rushing river. This river started as a river but has divided into the four rivers that have flown into the four corners of the entire earth.
The Passover And The Crystal Sea
In the beginning God allowed Adam and Eve to eat from every tree except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When man started over, after the flood, God told man, a similar thing. It is an important fact to know that Noah was told that man could eat everything but one thing, flesh with the blood. We can compare these verses below.
(Gen 2:16 KJV) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: (Gen 2:17 KJV) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Gen 9:3 KJV) Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. (Gen 9:4 KJV) But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Jesus states just the opposite about eating the flesh with the blood in it. In order to live we must be partakers of the flesh and the blood of Jesus and we must be partakers of the knowledge of good and evil through the word.
(John 6:55 KJV) For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (John 6:56 KJV) He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
When the blood was placed on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, while the children of Israel were in Egypt, death passed by. They were on the other side of the flood of death inside of a type and shadow of the garden. The blood of Jesus protects our body or house, which is the temple of God, and we will never die. We are in the garden of life.
(Exo 12:7 KJV) And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
(Rev 2:7 KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
