Men in white linen
I was
meditating on Ezekiel Chap 10. In this passage of scripture, I notice an
interaction between the Cherub and the man in linen. 6 Then it happened, when He commanded the man clothed in linen,
saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he
went in and stood beside the wheels. 7 And the Cherub
stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among
the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into
the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and
went out. 8 The cherubim appeared to have the form of a
man’s hand under their wings.
Ezekiel Chap 10: 6-8.
Who is this man in linen? Well, before diving
into this mystery, let me share an experience I had a few years ago. In this
vision at night, I was ascending into the realms of Heaven when I entered in
the cloud. The next thing I saw as I came through the cloud were people dressed
in white linen. I saw different races of people. These people were coming
towards me, and they all had smiles on their faces. Suddenly, this fear came
over me, and the experience abruptly ended.
The fear that ended the experience is known as
the fear of the unknown. We struggle to have more adventures with the Holy
Spirit because of fear, doubt and unbelief. The Holy Spirit is known as the
Spirit of Truth. John 16:12. He will lead us into all truth. We must
trust what the Holy Spirit is revealing in this hour. We are not to lean on our
understanding but in all our ways acknowledge Him—Proverb 3:5-8. God the
Father and the Lord Jesus is directing our paths. We have to become more
captivated by the things of the kingdom.
Speaking of the Kingdom of Heaven, let go back to
the mystery of the man in linen. I believe that the men in linen are
individuals in the heavenly realms. This includes the cloud of witnesses, and I
think my experience was with the cloud of witnesses. In the Hebrews
Chap 12:1-2, we see the cloud of witnesses:
Therefore we also, since so great a cloud of
witnesses surrounds us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so
easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance
the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus,
the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, who for the joy
that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
In my next blog, I’ll explore the connection of
the garments of the priesthood with the men in white linen.
Blessings!
