“Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber.” Ezekiel 8:2
This verse is the core of Ezekiel’s message in this chapter, which speaks against enflaming sexual or sensual indulgence against the will of God. The loins are the intimate region in the middle of the body, and Ezekiel saw this region as being very hot and inflamed from there upward and from there downward. The elders were indulging in and leading the Israelites into a burning sensual and sexual lifestyle from head to toe.
Today, the entity with power over physiology is able to enflame sensual and sexual feelings within people. This is the same entity that gives people their thoughts, words, behaviors, and feelings of all types. Its purpose is to enliven the image of the beast to live and speak through people and enflames sensual and sexual feelings to do so. When carnal desires are sparked, it leads us away from walking with Jesus Christ. People everywhere are seduced to conform to the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. God does not operate in us to entice us to walk in the desires of the flesh, but in Jesus Christ we are led to walk in the Spirit.
Ezekiel’s vision in chapter one (seen almost 2600 years ago) is of the space shuttle, space station, and space satellites which relates to the false god in high places that is able to give people what to feel, think, say, and do. In this case, feelings are enflamed to incite sensual and sexual pleasure as people behave accordingly. This opens the whole can of worms of living for the standards and values of this world. What Ezekiel describes in the verse above, 8:2, is exactly what is described in Ezekiel 1:26-27 coming from the entity in space, as described in the verses below,
“And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.” Ezekiel 1:26-27
These verses (1:26-27) describe a lot of detail about Ezekiel’s vision in chapter 1. The throne is above the firmament of the blue skies, which would be space. There in space is a throne that looks like a star (sapphire stone) which is what space and satellite equipment looks like from earth. Upon the “throne” is a “man”, and that “man” is not symbolic of God or Jesus Christ. This “man” is more like someone sitting in a space station or who sits in dominion over the space satellites and the whole space program. Ezekiel associates the vision in this chapter of the burning loins with the vision seen in Ezekiel 1 of the burning loins. The entity Ezekiel saw above the firmament (space) is responsible for inflaming the sensual and sexual feelings of people on this earth. God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit does not do that.
Jesus Christ rules from a place far above the space satellites, far above the darkness of space, and lives within our spirit and soul through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ died on the Cross to atone for sin, was resurrected from the dead after three days in the grave, then was seated at the right hand of God in the heavenly places, “…far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.” Ephesians 1:21 Jesus Christ is coming back to bring us to live eternally with Him.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
