In Exodus chapter 24, it is written by The Holy Spirit:
9 Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10 and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity. 11 But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So they saw God, and they ate and drank.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.”
Why did FATHER have a paved stone of sapphire between HIM and the earth? King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 29:
29 King David’s poetic praise to God for the last days
The Feast of Tabernacles
1 Proclaim his majesty, all you mighty champions,
you sons of Almighty God,
giving all the glory and strength back to him!
2 Be in awe before his majesty.
Be in awe before such power and might!
Come worship wonderful Yahweh, arrayed in all his splendor,
bowing in worship as he appears in the beauty of holiness.
Give him the honor due his name.
Worship him wearing the glory-garments
of your holy, priestly calling!
3–4 The voice of the Lord echoes through the skies and seas.
The Glory-God reigns as he thunders in the clouds.
So powerful is his voice, so brilliant and bright,
how majestic as he thunders over the great waters!
5 His tympanic thunder topples the strongest of trees.
His symphonic sound splinters the mighty forests.
6 Now he moves Zion’s mountains by the might of his voice,
shaking the snowy peaks with his earsplitting sound!
7 The lightning-fire flashes, striking as he speaks.
8 God reveals himself when he makes the fault lines quake,
shaking deserts, speaking his voice.
9 God’s mighty voice makes the deer to give birth.
His thunderbolt voice lays the forest bare.
In his temple all fall before him with each one shouting,
“Glory, glory, the God of glory!”
10 Above the furious flood, the Enthroned One reigns,
the King-God rules with eternity at his side.
11 This is the one who gives his strength and might to his people.
This is the Lord giving us his kiss of peace.
FATHER could not put HIS feet on the cursed earth lest HIS Holiness would bring forth earthquakes and other catastrophes. The sapphire stone was the required buffer to spare the earth when HE manifested HIMSELF to Moses and his entourage. FATHER sought a relationship with Moses with this visitation. Moses had already received revelation during the burning bush event which prompted him to action. When Moses spent time with FATHER, he experienced habitation and the glory began to overtake him. Paul wrote of this habitation in 2 Corinthians chapter 3:
7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Our relationship with FATHER is determined by what we do first with revelation. Do we act on the revelation or do we allow that revelation to subside in our consciousness and continue in our lower state. Once we embrace revelation, then visitation occurs in some fashion.
When I was exposed to the revelation of the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, I received It and my prayer language was established in my life. This visitation has resulted in habitation where The Holy Spirit now lives inside me.
There are two aspects of the purpose of Jesus’ Blood: positional and relational. When we were born again, we were given a “position” in Heaven. However, when we mature, we move toward a relationship with FATHER. Do you want to stay in the outer court versus the inner court? Are you satisfied with being in the inner court when you could enter the Holy of Holies and have an intimate relationship with FATHER?
You accept a position but a relationship results in your actions to pursue intimacy with FATHER. Where do you want to reside?
