“…and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.” Ezekiel 9:2b.

God called forth six of His heavenly servants to prepare the world for the destruction and slaughter to come. But there is the seventh man among them “clothed with linen” which represents being clothed in the Holy Spirit. He has a pen by his side and stands beside the brazen altar. The pen and what the man writes is talked about in the coming verses, but the brazen altar is written about in this verse, in the next paragraph.

The brazen altar was also called “the altar of burnt offerings”, “the altar of God”, and “the altar of the Lord” Once the brazen altar was consecrated, whatever touched it became Holy. This altar represents the place of the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God to atone for sin. Today, the altar is within our spirit and soul where we touch Jesus Christ for the remission of our sin. The man of Holiness is about to write something very important pertaining to us who come to God through Jesus Christ.

Also, the six men preparing the nations for the destruction and slaughter to come stand by the altar in service to God on behalf of those who live for the testimony of Jesus Christ, “For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.” Zachariah 2:8-9

“And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side…” Ezekiel 9:3

Cherubim are guardians of God’s Holiness. A single one of them is called a cherub. The guardian of Holiness radiated the glory of God as he summoned the man of Holiness who had the pen by his side. What is about to be written is a very Holy event for all who serve God through Jesus Christ.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
