This is set on a mountain, curiously enough the Spirit sets Ezekiel in his vision under almost identical circumstances. "And set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south./ And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate."(Ez.40:2-3) Notice the significance of line of flax in his hand? The angel is none other than a fellow servant even as John whose measuring reed is mentioned specifically stated. We see in these two same distinction between the vision where Ezekiel as with Daniel represents the nation of Israel. Both mountain serving as a backdrop establishes Zion as intended, as His holy habitation. In the next post we shall examine another vision which again is pendent on this temple. (Re.11:1-2)
This comparative method is for our instruction in righteousness and we shall not escape judgement since the standard unit of the golden reed is for the believers meeting the requirement of the gospel. Significance of the line of flax is inadequate since Jesus Christ shed his blood for us. Follow me, learn of me are not famous lost words but we ought to learn of him. One baptism by water makes only your faith expressed, and without works faith is dead as flax is consumed by fire.
For meditation: "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is./ If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward./ If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."1 Co.3:13-15
