VISIONS

1 JEREMIAH

- JEREMIAH 1:11
- Yah.weh asks Jeremiah: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”
- Jeremiah answers that he sees a branch of an almond tree!
- So here we get a dialogue between Yah.weh and Jeremiah!
- It indicates they have a strong relationship!
- Imagine that: he sees only one thing: a branch of an almond tree!
- Apparently, there is nothing else!
- Thus he can only concentrate on the branch of the almond tree!
- Does it remind you of something?
- Numbers 17!
- The rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram and the 250 men and then the Israelites!
- Yah.weh makes Aaron’s rod bud to put a stop to the murmuring of the Israelites!
- And the rod gets buds and blossoming flowers and ripe almonds!

2 ISAIAH
  • Isaiah 6:1
  • Here Isaiah tells about what he sees!
  • And he sees Yah.weh sitting on a throne, high and exalted and the train of his robe filled the temple!
  • Yah.weh sitting on a throne: it is usual!
  • Ram is a masculine given name. In South Asia it is a variant of Rama, and in Hebrew it means high or senior, a biblical name (Ram, son of Hezron), which is also sometimes used as a diminutive form of Avram (a variant of Abraham).
  • Wə·niś·śā means To lift, carry, take!
  • Wə·šū·lāw means A skirt, a bottom edge
  • We may remember that Yah.weh and Jesus are the temple in the New Jerusalem according to Revelation!
 
3 EZEKIEL
- Ezekiel 1:4
- Here Ezekiel tells about what he sees!
- A whirlwind coming from the north!
- A great cloud with fire flashing back and forth!
- And brilliant all around it!
- Thus we get natural elements!
- But the cloud is special: it has fire flashing back and forth!
- And it is brilliant!
- Thus it is quite luminescent!
 
4 DANIEL
  • Daniel chapter 2
  • Here it is quite different!
  • King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream!
  • But he doesn’t want to tell his people!
  • And he wants them to tell him the dream and its meaning!
  • Otherwise they will be put to death!
  • They answer that nobody can do that!
  • As a consequence, the king orders them to be killed !
  • When Daniel knows the order, he goes to the king and asks him for time!
  • Daniel informs his companions and asks them to pray for mercy from Yah.weh!
  • And Yah.weh reveals the dream to him!
  • He thanks him!
  • Then he goes to the king and tells him that Yah.weh has revealed to him the dream and its meaning!
 
5 ZECHARIAH
- Zechariah 1:8
- He sees a vision in the night!
- he sees a man riding on a red horse that stands among the myrtle trees in the hollow!
- Behind him, there are red, sorrel and white horses!
- Here we get a man riding a horse!
- We get horses of different colors!
- We get myrtle trees!
 
6 REVELATION
- Revelation 1:10
- John finds himself on Yah.weh’s day!
- And he hears a loud voice like a trumpet!
- John is the only one who first hears something before seeing anything!
 
Jeremiah1:12
  • Ya.weh tells him he has observed correctly!
  • It’s interesting to read these words because it shows that it is important for Yah.weh!
  • He shows that it is of deep concern!
  • It matters to him!
  • It is extremely important!
  • And he explains why: for I am watching over my word to accomplish it!
  • Every word has its own importance!
  • And think about that: there is only a branch of an almond tree, nothing else!
 
Isaiah 6:2
- Seraphim stood over him!
- Each of them has six wings!
- They use two wings to cover their faces!
- They use two wings to cover their feet!
- They fly with the two others!
- They have three different uses!
- Wings to cover a part of the body!
- It is strange!
- Wings are usually used to fly!
 
Ezekiel 1:5
- Here there are questions:
- Why do you want more beatings?
- Why do you keep rebelling?
- Your head has a massive wound!
- Your whole heart is afflicted!
- The two questions show misunderstanding!
- They look like crazy people!
- Massive wound is particularly easy to visualize!
- And an afflicted heart too!
 
  • Daniel chapter 2
  • The dream is about the future!
  • Yah.weh told him about what is going to happen!
  • It is not because of Daniel’s great wisdom!
  • Only to make the king know!
 
- Zechariah 1:9
- Zechariah wants to know the meaning!
- So he asks Yah.weh for it!
- An angel is speaking with him!
- The angel will explain to him!
 
- Revelation 1:11
- John is told to write on a scroll what he sees!
- And he must send it to 7 congregations!
 
  • With Jeremiah, we get a fixed plan and natural element!
  • With Isaiah, we get a fixed plan and one character: Yah/weh filling the whole vision!
  • With Ezekiel, we get a moving plan and natural elements!
  • With Daniel, we get a crucial element: Daniel who does everything to get the vision!
  • With Zechariah, we get a moving plan with one character riding a horse and other horses of different colors!
  • With John, we get no plan at all, just a loud voice like a trumpet!
  • What is the most striking vision? Probably the last one because there is nothing to see, just to hear!
  • Thus we can expect anything, we can imagine anything!
  • But it must be extremely important!
 
  • If I speak about a special relationship between Yah.weh and Jeremiah, it is because of the dialogue between them!
  • Yah.weh asks him a precise question and Jeremiah answers!
  • It has nothing to do with the branch of the almond tree!
  • We can have a look at the verses before!
  • In Jeremiah 1:5, Yah.weh tells him that he knew him when he was in his mother’s womb!
  • And before he was born, he set him apart and appointed him a prophet!
  • It reminds us of Samuel!
  • And Jeremiah said he was but a boy!
  • But Yah.weh told him to say what he commanded him to say!
  • And he told him not to be afraid!
  • And he touched his mouth and put his words in Jeremiah’s mouth!
 
Jeremiah 1:13
  • Yah.weh asks him another time the same question!
  • Jeremiah answers that he sees a boiling pot and it is tilting away from the north!
  • The two visions are quite different!
  • A plant and an object!
  • Something natural and something made by man!
  • And the object is boiling and tilting away from the north that is from Israel!
 
Isaiah 6:3
  • The Seraphim called out to one another: holy, holy, holy is Yah.weh of hosts and his glory fills all the earth!
  • So it is all about Yah.weh!
  • He fills the temple and he fills the earth!
  • Yah.weh is everywhere!
  • It is impossible to miss him!
 
-In Jeremiah we get a dialogue between Yah.weh and the prophet!
- And it is about an almond branch!
- Definitely an earthly vision!
- In Isaiah, we see Yah.weh filling the earth and Seraphim with six wings!
- Definitely celestial vision!
- In Ezekiel, we get a whirlwind and a great and brilliant cloud and questions about people who keep rebelling!
- Another earthly vision!
- In Daniel, we get a vision about the future!
- In Zechariah, we get a man riding on a red horse and other horses of different colors!
- In Revelation, it is Yah.weh’s day, there is a loud voice like a trumpet and a message is sent to seven congregations!
 
  • First, Yah.weh tells Jeremiah he is watching!
  • Second, he says directly what is going to happen:
  • Jeremiah 1:14
  • A disaster is coming from the north and it is going to strike all the inhabitants of the land!
