The great white throne and power of its coming
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX-rkZs5Tlg&feature=channel_page.
This video gives a virtual trip into the throne of God. I hesitate to pass it on because it is conjectural and probably off base and (as I believe) irreverent and blasphemous. No creature can see the Most Holy Place without infinitely holy eyes. Our eyes will never be holy enough, not even throughout eternity. With exception of the covering cherubim, only the Son of God, our High Priest, will ever see that place and the actual glory of the Father without the covering garments of cherubim clouds.
I do agree, though, that the Creator’s temple sits atop a mountain, that is, a mountain of glory, (although it is not of Greco-Roman design) and it seems highly probable that layers of cosmic gas and angelic hosts veil His throne from human eyes, i.e. from the Hubble space scope, or from later and better scopes.
I don’t like the video’s sound effects of angel wings when Jesus leaves the temple to return to earth, because bird wings are only useful in air; the angelic hosts will be travelling through space. Bird wings were the closest thing the Bible writers could compare with to describe what they were seeing in their angel visitants. More likely, they have some transport ability God has created them with, which is far beyond anything modern technology can conceive of.
And I think that when the Creator of suns arrives, His presence will be hotter than if our sun itself were to draw nearer to Earth than it is to the bleak planet Mercury. What we see of our Moon is what Earth will become–barren and full of the pock marks of millions of asteriods. His warning to us of our coming desolation the moon has been advertising each month, for thousands of years.
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2Pet. 3:10).
“There was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Rev. 6:12-17).
“Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.” (Is. 13:9-14).
“And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.” (Is. 34:9).
“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.” (Mal. 4:1-3).
The approach of such infinite energy, its magnetism and other natural forces, will push Earth’s atmosphere aside with a tremendous, unearthly sonic boom. As the divine retinue slows before Earth and our atmosphere splits before the coming power of the Creator and powerful angelic hosts, the rapid approach of God will create the screaming sound of a falling bomb. This is the trumpet noise the Bible writers wrote of. It was first heard by the Israelites at Sinai when God came down to speak His Ten Commandments. So deafening was His approach that they all fell to the ground with their hands over their ears and plead with Moses to ask God to stop the trumpet sound and noise.
“And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount.” “And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.” (Ex. 19:16-20;20:18-20).
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” (1Thess. 4:16).
In figurative form, John writes of the lake of fire into which the Beast and False Prophet are thrown. This simply describes the burning of the system of world government and religion as the elements melt with fervent heat and the rivers turn to burning pitch at the King’s arrival.
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.
And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.
And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God….
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the remnant were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of His mouth.” (Rev. 19:11-15,19-21).
“I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by His fierce anger.
For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.” (Jer. 4:23-29).
