The church of God is composed of the many genuine believers in Christ and has many aspects. One aspect of the church is being the Israel of God (Gal. 6:15-16). Maybe for us today this may not mean much, but for the Apostle Paul – who was born a Jew – this means a lot. […]

Most of the major truths in the Bible are recorded in a seed form in the first 5 books of the Old Testament, they develop and grow throughout the Bible, and they consummate in the book of Revelation at the end of the Bible. Matters such as the tree of life, the river of water […]
Seeing a Vision of the Golden Lampstand, a Type of the Triune God and the Church
In the Bible there is a very comprehensive picture which shows us that God is our life, that we are God’s living out, that God lives in us, and that for us to live is God. This picture is the golden lampstand, firstly revealed in Exodus 25, then mentioned in 1 Kings (in the temple), […]
The Lord’s Move is in Our Move – He is the Wheel Within the Us as the Wheel
![The Lord's Move is in Our Move - He is the Wheel Within the Us as the Wheel [The greatest revelation in Ezekiel 1 is the wheel within the wheel; the wheel within the wheel shows the Lord’s move in our move (Ezek. 1:15-16).]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/greatest-revelation-ezekiel1-wheel-within-the-wheel.jpg?fit=300%2C187&ssl=1)
There is so much to enjoy and see concerning the vision in Ezekiel 1:15-21! The greatest revelation in the first chapter of Ezekiel is the wheel within the wheel (Ezek. 1:15-16). Christ as the hub (a small wheel) is within us as the rim (the bigger wheel, His expression on earth) causing us to move. […]
God’s Move on Earth is by the Move of “the High and Awesome Wheels” (Ezek. 1)
![God's Move on Earth is by the Move of "the High and Awesome Wheels" (Ezek. 1) [In the picture: Our God is living, our Lord is moving, and the Spirit is working, to carry out God's eternal economy. ]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/god-living-lord-moving-spirit-working-carry-out-gods-economy.jpg?fit=300%2C198&ssl=1)
The way God carries out His economy is through His move, and God’s move is portrayed in Ezek. 1:15-21 by the move of the high and awesome wheels. When we walk from here to there we don’t need wheels, but when we go to specific places we need some wheels. God has a special move, […]

The New Jerusalem is the consummation of all that God planned, accomplished, and is doing from eternity past, on the bridge of time, and unto eternity future. All the positive things in the Bible as a type of Christ consummate in the New Jerusalem. Today I was impressed with the fact that the New Jerusalem […]

The New Jerusalem as the consummation of all that God is doing is rich in meaning and profound in all its aspects. One aspect of the New Jerusalem is that it is the consummation of the organic building up of the Body of Christ in all the local churches. Today the Lord has put us […]
