    Re.11:1-4 (3of 3)

    The Bowl upon the top of it and the manner it fed are the ways of God feeding separately each agency, whether it is the Spirit of Christ or the spirit of counsel, 'Of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace'( John 1:16)

    Interesting additions are the two witnesses in the olive trees on either side. The Spirit lays emphasis in the rhetorical question, which he himself answers (vv.12-14) and these are very pendent on the point of golden oil. Two pipes indicate from God the Father and God the son nourishing the prayer and praise aspect of every believer. "Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth"(v.14). The whole tenor of Jesus while on the earth highlighted both aspects.

    To sum: the Golden Candlestick bridges each heart to the throne of grace.

    In order to understand the significant of numbers used by the Spirit we need a fair grasp of what the ministry of Reconciliation of Jesus intended to achieve. "I am the Resurrection and life" and as such we are dead to the world so we may live in Christ in heavenly places by faith.

    "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein."(11:1) Paraphrasing the word of God every one of us need to answer this question, "where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?" While we are in this earthly tabernacle we are engaged in gathering with Christ and have part as fellow laborers. So the angel asks John to measure the temple himself. Prayer and praise are set as memorial in heaven of which the four and twenty elders and four beast signify Glory of His grace and His Gospel. Are we in step with the realities of heaven or scattering His grace and gospel for praise of men?
