If we put together Revelation 5:5-6 with Zechariah 3:9 and 4:10 we see that Christ is the Lion-Lamb-Stone, for He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah to destroy the enemy, the Lamb of God to redeem us, and the stone with seven eyes to infuse us for God’s building; if we open to His shining, searching, judging, and infusing, we become the same as He is for God’s building!
Lord Jesus, we open to You. We want to see You. We want to behold You. We want to look into Your face. Amen, Lord, may we behold You and reflect You like a mirror. Look into us. Search us. Destroy and remove anything negative in us. Judge anything of the enemy and his ground in our being. We apply Your precious blood. Infuse us with Yourself. Work Yourself into us for God’s building. Make us the same as You are for God’s building, the New Jerusalem! Amen!
Thank the Lord for unveiling us to see that God is not after some physical building or some heavenly mansions but after the New Jerusalem, a corporate person, even the bride of the Lamb.
Christ is not right now in the heavens as a carpenter building heavenly mansions on golden streets and pearly gates in a literal sense. Rather, Christ is in His heavenly ministry interceding for us, ministering to us, and working Himself into us.
Even more, Christ as the Lamb of God has seven eyes, the seven Spirits of God, and by means of these seven Spirits, He works tirelessly and continually throughout the earth to carry out God’s economy and accomplish His administration in the whole universe.
When we see such a Christ who is both the Lion of the tribe of Judah to destroy the enemy, the Lamb of God to redeem us, and the stone with seven eyes, we will just open to Him. What else can we do but open to Him and allow Him to work in us, even to
work Himself into us!
He does all the work, and we cooperate. We simply cooperate, for it is God who operates in us both the willing and the working.
At best, we fail the Lord, and at worst, we delay Him, for we try to “help God” by doing this and that for Him in ourselves and by ourselves, thus hindering Him and even damaging the church.
May we learn to stop our natural being and just open to the Lord. May we be like the apostle John, in spirit, so that we may see who Christ is, pray and be one with Him, and allow Him to do in us what He wants to do for the accomplishment of His purpose.
As we see Christ, as we have a vision of who He is and what He does, we will simply pray for His will to be done and for His kingdom to come. Amen!
See Christ as the Lion-Lamb-Stone with Seven Eyes Infusing us for God’s Building
In Revelation 5:5-6, we see that Christ is the Lion-Lamb, for when John turned to see the Lion of the tribe of Judah who is worthy to open the scroll and its seals, he saw a Lamb as having just been slain.
Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah to destroy God’s enemy, terminate him, and also destroy all the negative things of the enemy in our being (1 John 3:8; Heb. 2:14).
At the same time, He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29) and He accomplished an eternal redemption for us. Praise the Lord!
The Lamb has seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God running to and fro on all the earth to accomplish God’s economy and carry out God’s administration.
We see these seven eyes also in Zechariah 3:9, where Jehovah said that He has set a stone before Joshua the High Priest, and upon the stone are seven eyes.
He will engrave its engraving, and He will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. This stone is Christ, for He is the stone that the builders rejected (Psa. 118:22; Matt. 21:42) and who was made by God the head of the corner.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the building stone; He is the Builder, and He is also the building stone. He was engraved by God on the cross, that is, He was dealt with by God on the cross for the iniquity of God’s people.
Christ was stricken on the cross by God’s judgment and He took away all the sins of God’s people. He did this as the Lion-Lamb-stone. Wow!
He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, He is the stone engraved by God who removes all the iniquity of the land in one day, and He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah who destroys and defeats God’s enemy! Praise the Lord!
This shows us that the stone with seven eyes in Zechariah is the Lamb with seven eyes in Revelation 5:6. How wonderful!
The Bible speaks of the same thing, and if we have the Lord’s shining and remain in the ministry of the age which opens up and properly interprets the truth in God’s word, we will see Christ on every page, and God’s economy becomes real to us.
Furthermore, in Zechariah 4:2, we are told that there’s a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on top of it and its seven lamps upon it.
The building stone in 3:9 has seven eyes, and the lampstand in 4:2 has seven lamps; the lampstand equals the stone, for the lampstand is a type of Christ, and the stone is also a type of Christ.
Christ is the stone and Christ is the lampstand, and the church is built upon the stone, which is Christ, to be the lampstand, the reproduction of Christ and the reprint of the Spirit. Hallelujah, what a wonderful Christ we have!
He is everything in God’s economy and for God’s building, and He wants to become our everything in a practical and specific way for us to be redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and built up to be God’s building on earth, consummating in the New Jerusalem! Amen!
Christ is the stone for God’s building, and He is the lampstand for light and enlightening. There are seven eyes on the stone, and there are seven lamps on the lampstand; the seven eyes are like a flame of fire, and the seven lamps are a flame of fire.
The seven eyes on the stone are the eyes of Jehovah running to and fro on the whole earth (Zech. 4:10); this corresponds to Revelation 5:6 where we see the seven eyes of the Lamb, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
The seven eyes of God are the seven Spirits of God. In Zechariah 4:4-6, the prophet asks, What are these? He was asking of the seven lamps. The angel answered, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts (v. 6).
This clearly shows us that the one lampstand with seven lamps is “My Spirit” – the Spirit of God! Wow! The seven lamps signify the seven Spirits of God.
This is confirmed by what we see in Revelation, where the seven eyes of God, the seven lamps, are the seven Spirits of God. It is these seven eyes that connect Christ as the stone in Zechariah 3 with Christ as the Lion and the Lamb in Revelation 5.
Our Christ is the Lion-Lamb-stone. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah to defeat and destroy God’s enemy and everything that is negative.
He is the Lamb of God to redeem us and shed His blood for us. And He is the stone for God’s building.
As the Lamb and as the stone, Christ has seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God to search us, infuse us, and produce us as materials for God’s building, even to make us the golden lampstands consummating in the New Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
Lord Jesus, we praise You for being the Lion-Lamb-stone for God’s building! Hallelujah, Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah to defeat, destroy, and obliterate God’s enemy, even to destroy any works of the devil and any ground of the enemy in our being! Amen, Lord, we thank You for being the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world and to shed Your blood for our redemption and daily cleansing of every sin! May we continue to see You as the stone for God’s building! Wow, Christ is the stone with seven eyes who was engraved by God to remove the iniquity of the land in one day! Amen, Lord, thank You for being stricken by God on the cross for us so that You may remove our iniquities. Thank You for being the stone with seven eyes, the seven Spirits of God, to search us, judge us, and infuse us for God’s building! We open to You today. We open to Your infusing, transfusing, judging, and building. Have a way in our being. Make us part of Your building!
Christ with His Seven Flaming Eyes Burns, Enlightens, Searches, and Purifies us to Infuse Himself into us and Transfuse us with Himself for God’s Building
It is so amazing to really see Christ as the Lion-Lamb-stone in the Bible! Wow, when we see a vision of Christ as the Lion-Lamb-stone, we will simply be in awe, and our reaction will be to open to Him!
After He went through death and resurrection, Christ became a life-giving Spirit, and now we are in the age of the church, which is God’s building.
He is now building up the church as the Body of Christ, consummating in the New Jerusalem (Matt. 16:18). How does He build His church?
Especially these days, at the end of this age, when Christ as the Spirit is intensified sevenfold, how does He build His church? It is by Him being the Lion-Lamb-stone with seven eyes, even with seven flaming eyes.
We can all testify that, in our own personal experience, we were doing this and that, minding our own business, when the flaming eyes of Christ reached us, worked in our environment and in our being, and we turned to the Lord and received His salvation.
The seven eyes operated in our being, causing us to be dissatisfied and displeased with our situation or with the course of our life, and we simply opened.
We saw Christ as the Lamb of God who came to die for us, and we opened to Him; we were infused with Christ as our faith, and we simply believed.
Now after our salvation, the seven flaming eyes of Christ are with us all the time; He is the Lion-Lamb-stone with seven eyes, always present with us to not only infuse us with what He is but also to judge anything of the enemy in our being.
For God to gain His building, judgment is required; this judgment is carried out by Christ being the One who has seven flaming eyes.
Christ is the Lion-Lamb-stone with seven flaming eyes to burn us, enlighten us, search us, purify us, and refine us. Also, He infuses us with all that He is.
First, He judges what needs to be judged in us; then, He transfuses Himself with His being into us to metabolically transform us into His being.
The building of God, the church, is something of Christ; only what comes out of Christ can be part of the building of God.
Our natural man, our flesh, our self, and anything that comes from our natural being has no place in the church, and all these things need to be judged, purged, and removed by the Lord.
However, His judging and purging is not merely for judging and purging; it is for His infusing.
He removes the old elements and discharges anything that is negative, and then He adds His new element to our being.
This is a daily process, so slow and continual that we don’t even notice it; as long as we open to Him, behold Him, and enjoy Him as the Lion-Lamb-stone with seven flaming eyes, as long as we remain under His shining and infusing, He operates in us to gain His building.
Because there are still so many things in us that are natural and negative, the Lord searches us with His seven flaming eyes, and we are purged, refined, and purified by Him.
We may even be in a meeting and a brother may stand up to share, and there’s a negative thought that rises in our being or we may have a negative feeling about him or what he says; the Lord shines with His seven flaming eyes and judges those thoughts and those feelings, and then He infuses us with Himself.
Such thoughts, such feelings, if we dwell on them and do not let the Lord judge them, can damage God’s building.
We experience the Lord’s seven eyes as a flame of fire all the time, and as we let Him judge the negative things in our being, He also infuses us with Himself.
May we remain in this process until we become the New Jerusalem, where the One sitting on the throne has the appearance of jasper (Rev. 4:3) and the building work of the wall is jasper (21:11, 18-19).
God’s essence is infused into us to make us the same as He is even in His appearance; this is accomplished by God being wrought into us daily by means of His transfusion! Amen!
Lord Jesus, we open to You as the Lion-Lamb-stone with seven flaming eyes. Amen, Lord, we just open. Shine in us. Expose anything negative in our being. Remove by purging and judging anything of the enemy from within us. Oh Lord, may we remain in Your presence, beholding You and allowing You to search us, burn us, enlighten us, purify us, and refine us. We say Amen to Your shining. We do not stand with our negative thoughts or feelings. We stand with our spirit. We say Amen to Your discharging the old and natural elements so that You may add more of Yourself into us. Amen, Lord, may Your flaming eyes remove what is negative in our being and metabolically transform us into Your being! Make us the same as You are, dear Lord, for God’s building! Keep us open to You, beholding You, until we’re infused with You to be just like You! Amen, may our appearance and expression be the same as Your appearance and expression! Gain Your building, the New Jerusalem, where God is expressed through His people corporately! Amen!
