He's Lifted, I Am Lifted

 

EZEKIEL 3:12
 

[NKJV]

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from His place!”
 

[BSB]

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the Lord in His dwelling place!'


Ezekiel did not have private jet or aeroplane, even for evangelism; and yet Ezekiel the man of God was airlifted, not by private Jet, but by the Spirit of God. Should we call this "First Class Flight" seeing this was far greater than the man-made first class flights?
 

This was the Spirit Himself lifting the son of man, to where God sent him. Remember, the Rabim (Four Living Creatures) and the Wheels go wherever the Spirit goes, as Excorts or convoys: wherever the Spirit goes there they go. And Ezekiel was privileged to beyond being carried on the greatest Chariots or Greatest King's Ride, to been carried by the Spirit Himself. And as he was being carried, he heard the Siren sounding from the Wings of Living Creatures and the Wheels; and as the glorious Siren was sounding the thunderous speech heard was this: "Blessed is the glory of the Lord from His place"
 

This meant the Siren or thunderous alarm was not praising the man the Spirit of God lifted up, but rather they were praising the Lord and glorifying Him from His Dwelling Place. If it were among men, and men see the man of God lifted up in ascending or descending by the Spirit or by Invisible Being but just seeing the man of God without parachute or machine ascending or descending, as Satan wanted the Lord Jesus as a Man to do from the pinnacle of the temple so that as God gives charge to angels to bear Him, people worshiping in the temple would see Him descending like a God or superhuman as the apostles saw Him ascending into heaven after His resurrection and worshipped Him: then those men who saw the Man of God descending or ascending would immediately worship Him, hail Him and praise Him. Already we are yet to recover from them calling their man of God, "Our Father in Lord;" and to see their man of God ascending, lifted up by the Spirit of God Himself in their sight as Elijah was before the eyes of the sons of the prophets, they would hail and may even worship that man of God, and besides calling him their father in the Lord, they may begin calling him their god in the Lord. Was that not one of the things that happened to the Roman Catholics, when some of them testified of seeing Assumption of Mary from the grave and her ascending into heaven? Don't we have Mary worshipers or "Mary-Honourers" among them? In Revelation 12, two men of God that were dead suddenly rose from the dead and ascended in the sight of the men of the world, and great fear fell upon them as they beheld those men of God both back to life and ascending without parachute, without aircraft carrier or machine.
 

But angels are more disciplined and higher in understanding than men, even more than the religious men. For angels do not just praise or hail any man just because God or the Spirit of God lifted that man up on high; rather they only do so when God tells them to do so or when God Himself is doing so to that man. When God brought His first Begotten Son, God was the One who told Angels to worship Him before they worshipped Him (Hebrews 1:6). And even when God has highly exalted the Lord Jesus and gave Him a Name above all names, those exaltation and awards alone did not make the angels to bow to Him as their Lord until God mandated or instructed that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess Jesus Christ as the Lord to the glory of God the Father: that was when the Angels were instructed to take Him as the Lord, none else is the Lord but Jesus Christ, and doing so glorifies God the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor God the Father. That was expressly commanded, not that of Mary nor that of men of God with whom God did miracles or lifted up.
 

Again, in the top Bible verse above, "A man of God was being lifted up far above all aircrafts and witchcrafts, by the Spirit Himself, after whom the Living Creatures follow; and yet their Sirens or Voices were not praising the man God lifted up, but went beyond him to praise and bless the Lord who lifted the man up."
 

When Pharaoh made Joseph ride on his second best chariot, the king's escorts and their Sirens were praising the new Governor of Egypt, Joseph, whom the king just appointed. When the king of Shushan made Mordecai ride on his best horse, the king's most honorable prince was made the escort and his Siren was praising the man the king wishes to honor, Mordecai. But when the Spirit of God lifted Ezekiel, and the greatest Excorts (Cherubim/Rabim) with their Siren coming from behind, Ezekiel was not the center or focus of the announcements of their thunderous Siren/Speech.
 

However, it was still the greatest of them all and a glorious experience to have the Spirit Himself instead of sending an angel, a bird, or a cloud to carry you. As you are being conveyed, these glorious and thunderous escorts and sirens lift up the Lord who is lifting you up. Even so, let the praises and songs that lift God up also lift us up or inspire us together with Him without needing to name or mention us, but only Him in those songs or praises. For the joy of the Lord is our strength. The more He is lifted up together with us, the more we are lifted up with Him. For we have risen up with the Lord. As it is written,
 

[John 12:32] — "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”"
 

[Psalms 47:5-7] — “God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding.”
