INTERPRETATION OF 3RD VISION

Part VII

My flight and climb up that heap of rocks was accompanied by the brightest lightning. The sky was brilliant white from the constant flashing power, which differed from the lightning that struck the fisherman's house. It was as described in Matthew 17:2 and 28:3; in Mark 9:3; Acts 26:13, and in Habakkuk 3:4. Hence I conclude this brilliance to be the kind of lightning which goes forth from G-d's throne192, from the very midst of His Presence193. It appears to be the purifying, sanctifying power of G-d that was pounding on and right inside of me, producing an ever mounting inner pressure.

This can only refer to the “immeasurable greatness of His power in us who believe, according to the working of His great might”194, and to the power of the Word of G-d195  (which is Yeshua196), and to the work of the Holy Spirit. For it is by the enabling, purifying POWER of the Holy Spirit that we put to death our carnal nature, the deeds of our body197, and by the Word that we renew our mind, so as to be transformed into the likeness of His character198, from faith to faith and from glory to gloryl.

The experience of imminent death was very real. I did not understand then that this mounting inner pressure represented the work of the Holy Spirit convicting me of sin, and His power by which I was rendered DEAD to sin, and alive to G-d199.

The brilliant white, electric Power from heaven did not cease until I had reached the road braced by the pile of rocks. G-d's power at work in us does not cease to perfect our salvation until the time of Messiah's Appearing200.

I was fleeing from evil and the threat it held. To whatever event this pointed, it clearly stresses a Scriptural exhortation: resist the devil and flee evil, even the mere appearance of it201

I ran hard, like in a race202. The race took me through a valley203  where I spotted a pile of sparkling stones providing a means of escape. I ran toward the pile with all my might.

The stones were identical in substance and appearance to the Rock in heaven. As Yeshua said to Simon Bar-Jonah, after Simon had confessed Yeshua to be the Messiah, the Son of the Living G-d: "And I tell you, you are petros (‘a little rock’-'Peter'), and on such petra (‘mass of such rock’) I will build my Church..."204

Apparently the "mass of rocks" are believers who, like Simon Bar-Jona, confess Yeshua to be the Messiah, the Son of the Living G-d. "For," Yeshua said, "flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father Who is in heaven." And of such believing and confessing “little rocks” Messiah will build His Church (Kehila). 

It is these divinely elected, believing “rocks” who constitute the “mass of rock(s)”. The very apostle to whom this statement was made, wrote, "... Like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house...,"205 . This is reaffirmed by Paul in his letter to the Ephesians206.

It was THIS mass of rocks orderly joined one upon the other that was the only means of escaping the evil threat207

We believers are exhorted to serve each other; to build each other up in our most holy faith; to uphold one another and bear one another's burdens. We should be of one united heart, mind and purpose208.

Because the "stones" were fitly joined together209, my climbing was fast and easy. This mass of rocks were genuine children of G-d, recreated in the Image of the Son of G-d, Yeshua HaMashiach. 

In addition, I understood that whereas the saints in Paradise rest from their labor, having finished their course on earth, those still on earth are not called to a cessation of labor, though at rest from the works of the Law210. On the contrary. We are to labor in love; to contend for the faith; to work out our salvation with fear and trembling; to bear one another up; and to be rich in works of faith and good deeds211. We are G-d's workmanship, created in Messiah for good works, which G-d prepared beforehand that we should walk in them212. For we are appointed to produce the "material"213 of G-d's spiritual house while still on earth214.

Hence I had come to the "living stones," to the "running of the race that is set before us." I climbed with perseverance until I reached the road, at which point I became weightless, and one step turned into a giant leap.
