The Throne of God
God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In fact He is "ALL THERE IS", and we actually live inside Him (His Person or Body). He said. "Heaven is my Throne and Earth is my footstool", Isaiah 66:1 Now David did not know God at that time and "he wanted to build God a house" It was not time to manifest to mankind His real personage, so He allowed David to go on thinking that he could build Him a house. David did not succeed with his plans in his lifetime, and he passed the task to Solomon, one of his sons. No one can really "know God" unless He wants to "manifest Himself" to you, Matthew 11:25-27. We have been awed in IGNORANCE of God, and blindness to "who we really are". In the END OF TIME, God promised to reveal all things "in that day", the last day. This is the END,and Father God has manifested Himself and described His GLORIOUS proportions, that is His size. I will tell you now this will blow your mind. There is nothing but God. He is the "Living One". God is so LARGE that, what we call SPACE or the cosmos, is "His insides"! The following is an excerpt from Good News, Inc. volume II, "God Is ALL In All": http://www.goodnewsinc.net/v2gn/godisall.html
When you consider this description from God of Himself, you can understand why He later told us, "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it", Psalms 127:1. Men at that time minimized God to proportions that they could handle mentally. Men dwelt in houses and they thought "God also dwelt in a house" similar to the way we humans do. So men in all cultures sought to build God a house or dwelling place in temples, grottos, and "holy places" made by the hands of men. Later on Solomon realized that God is too great and majestic to be pigeon-holed in something man can build. HE IS JUST TOO BIG really to be conceived by the human mind.
Let's deal with "Heaven is my Throne and Earth is my footstool". We have been taught that we actually dwell inside Father's left foot area where He created the bottomless-pit to hold criminal evil spirits until their execution time arrives. A "footstool" is an object built as a resting place for one's feet. Since we are in Court "Today" as Satan's trial continues, God built Planet Earth as the floor of the "Outer Court" where the judgment of demons born in hell could proceed as Jurist-Witnesses observe the action from above, Hebrews 12:1. Planet Earth happens to be a "rocky planet" created to serve the Supreme Judge and Scientist's purposes.. Look at this:
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
David and Solomon and men in all other religions who thought they could build a dwelling place for God... “all labored in vain”. They did not know that God is SO BIG no one can imagine His size. They did not know that WE LIVE INSIDE His Person ... like red and white blood cells exist inside our own body. From what Jesus stated in his parable, a smart builder, finds a suitable rock to serve as a foundation for His house. In Creator-God's case, there is nothing but "Him", so He took some of His "matter" and created the stars and planet Earth, a small ROCKY PLANET to be a COURT STAGE-FLOOR for His assize and a "foundation for dwelling places for man". We are dealing with Jesus' parable in Mathew 7 24-27. We have just discovered the "rocky planet" used by the Creator as a foundation. Now for the rest of the story. Adam and Eve were not aware that the Creator placed them on a (Court)-stage where those Witnesses above could watch the joust between humans and demonic prisoners and their offspring. What they did not know can and did hurt them. Man was born in a WAR ZONE and devils were prepared to BEAT HELL INTO US! The prisoners sought to get revenge on God by capturing, torturing, enslaving, and finally killing His human-seed! The communication methods and warfare tactics devils use against men are allegorically described as "winds,waves, and floods".
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
The true Rock is Father-God Himself, and His only begotten Son also has been described as a "rock and a sure foundation:"!
Deuteronomy 32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! 30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? 31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
Psalms 18:31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
Matthew 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
You can imagine how these definitions of the allegories, "rock, wind, and waves" fit in Jesus' parable. But the real "temple" of concern must be dealt with. The real "temples are MEN"! Our "human bodies" are the temples Father built to dwell in on planet Earth. We are also God's feet and shoes made for Him to walk in while on Earth. So man cannot build God a dwelling place. God has to build it Himself and He has done so. Men are His building supplies.
2 Corinthians 6:16 ... for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the EARTH IS MY FOOTSTOOL: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Conclusion: GOD NEVER LEFT PLANET EARTH! He has always been a "walking man"! And (colored skin) HUE-MEN are the soul/soles of His shoes. Step lively, Dad! You are LOOKING GOOD to me!!
God is building a perfect dwelling place for Himself in Paradise. Men are the "building blocks" ("lively stones", I Peter 2:5) and timbers for construction (trees of righteousness, Isaiah 61:3) being collected from planet Earth. The spirits of men are REDEEMED from the clay soil (human bodies) and RE-MADE by the Clay Master when they return to the "barn of Heaven", Jeremiah 18:1-6. The Potter is really great at His job. When He finishes each RE-DO the children are PERFECT, 12:22-24.
Since all “MEN ARE GOD’S SHOES” made for walking. let us look at this from another perspective. God has filled the Earth with HIS GLORY.
Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
You can ASSUME NOTHING about what God means even when He speaks "apparent words" in your native language. You will only see superficially. He will have to show you the in-depth texture of His speech.
You know He speaks in allegories, parables, riddles, similes and metaphors. How is planet Earth full of God's glory? Check it out:
Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him (man) a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Secrets of Enoch 30:10 I conceived a cunning saying to say, I created man from invisible and from visible nature, of both are his death and life and image, the knows speech like some created thing, small in greatness 11 and again great in smallness, and I placed him on earth, a second angel, honourable, great 12 and glorious, and I appointed him as ruler to rule on earth and to have my wisdom, and there was none like him of earth of all my existing creatures.
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
The "glory of Father God" are His children! And we are among other things "instruments" of His praise!
Isaiah 43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Have you ever seen a picture of a throne? Every throne I have seen has a BASE like a chair with legs and feet that rest on the floor. AMAZING! The Throne of God also has a base with feet. It extends all the way from the Throne Room in the Highest Heaven to the BASE (lowest) MEN-(T) or place of graves on Earth. His "shoes" are walking around doing all kinds of things. As you know “without god we can do nothing”, John 15:5 and “God has wrought all our works in us” and for us, Isaiah 26:12. Who told you "MEN are not a part of God"?? Men form the very BASE OF THE THRONE OF GOD! And the GLORY of Father's Throne and His reign extends to wherever men exist on planet Earth. Yes, people! YOU ARE THE BASE OF FATHER’S THRONE. Who do you suppose can destroy any part of God’s Throne? God’s feet are part of Him. No enemy can make Him self destruct! Father likes His shoes! That is why He made so many!! (LOL)
He is not getting out of "the shoe business" just because YOU DID NOT KNOW THIS! He had already built the place of His rest, even when David and Solomon were trying to figure things out and missing the BIG PICTURE!
The base of God's Throne rests on His "footstool". There He places His feet and shoes while He stands in them and walks in them. Get used to it! You are a member of the GLORIOUS FAMILY OF GOD! Men are royal princes and princesses of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We are His feet and shoes. Jesus will build the temple of Heaven with us as he reads each name and number from the pages of the Book of Life. When he calls each name, the spirit child on Earth having that name FLIES AWAY and the Potter finishes work on that person in the Barn of Heaven.
