Ps.104:3-4

God "who walketh upon the wings of the wind:" (1 of 2)

Let us consider the Vision of the Dry Bones where wind represents something else. " Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the LordGod; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live./So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army."(Ez.37:9-10)

God is asking Ezekiel to prophesy unto the wind. His credentials come from the roll which God made the prophet to eat. "Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel."(Ez.3:1) He was a stand in for Jesus Christ who is the Word become flesh. He is Man the message. "Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears." He was to receive 'all my words' for this reason both words unto salvation and to damnation were to treated equally. "Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness."(3:3). This parallel with St John , "And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."(Re.10:9)

"And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:" (10:1) Who is this mighty angel ?The attributes of fire, the sun and the bow inform us it is Jesus Christ who reveals the word through his angel. Cf.Re.1 Here we have the Word (God) employing angel and man which is a single measurement validated as the standard by Jesus Christ. The nuanced narrative of the Spirit is leading us to the holy city of God which is foursquare. (Re.21:16-17)
