If there were no foxes or birds, Christ could not have compared His situation in His ministry to that of foxes with their holes and birds with their roosts ( Matt. 8:20). For example, if vines had not been created, the Lord Jesus could not have used a vine to describe Himself ( John 15:1). This means that the entire universe came into existence for the purpose of describing Christ. God’s intention in His creation is to use the things of creation to illustrate what Christ is. Actually, all the positive things in the universe may be used to portray what Christ is to us. For example, the sun symbolizes Christ as our light ( Mal. 4:2 Luke 1:78), and food symbolizes Christ as our sustenance ( John 6:35). For this reason the Bible uses many types, figures, and pictures to describe and portray spiritual things.Ī great many items in the universe are symbols of spiritual things. Furthermore, He uses signs and symbols to express abstract, mysterious matters. In His wisdom God uses visible, material things to describe invisible, spiritual things. Without the pictures in the Bible, it would be rather difficult for us to understand God and the spiritual things. Not only is God abstract, but all spiritual things are also abstract. God is Spirit, and as such He is abstract, mysterious, invisible, intangible, and unfathomable. The Bible is a book of pictures revealing to us God and the spiritual things. The Bible being a book of pictures that describe spiritual things As we consider God’s glorious visions in this chapter, we need to pay careful attention to all these matters. In addition to the four items mentioned above, the visions in chapter one include the four living creatures, the high and dreadful wheels, a sky as clear as crystal, God’s glorious throne, and the man upon the throne. These visions reveal what God expects man to be in relation to Him. The visions, which begin from the north, where God is, show us God in His will, plan, intention, work, action, and relationship with man. The visions in the book of Ezekiel begin not with man but with God. Spiritually speaking, everything we have depends on God’s being, vision, and manifestation and on our knowing God.

The degree of our knowing God will determine both the degree of our spiritual experience and the situation of the church. Likewise, our service and the church affairs also depend on our knowledge of God. Those who know God can testify that our spiritual experiences are according to our knowledge of God. Genesis 1 begins with a word concerning God, and Ezekiel 1 opens with a glorious vision of God. Our spiritual experiences being according to our knowledge of God Fourth, out of the fire there appeared the glowing electrum. Third, there was a fire enfolding itself.

Second, a great cloud came along with the wind. First, a stormy wind came from the north. This verse covers four main things: the wind, the cloud, the fire, and the electrum. In this message we will consider Ezekiel 1:4. Batman, having been primed for the ritual, was unknowingly exposed to Electrum when he was trapped in the Court of Owls' Labyrinth and forced to drink from their fountain.The Wind, the Cloud, the Fire, and the Electrum Įlectrum was one of the five metals that, when one person was exposed to them all, would open a portal to the Dark Multiverse. This process was further perfected in the modern day by Mister Freeze, who hadn't realized he was working for the Court but, instead, was told he was working towards the downfall of Batman.

The bodies of the Talons were specifically prepped so that they would reanimate in a matter of minutes if touching a piece of Electrum, usually in the form of a metal tooth implant. The Court of Owls learned to use the metal from Doctor Leviticus centuries ago to save and reanimate their Talons over generations. Joker srcĮlectrum is a metallic alloy that, when prepared in the correct way, has the ability to reanimate the dead. No compound of gold and silver could make the dead Talons walk again. You see, a metal shouldn't be able to do what this "electrum" could do.
