Powerful Revelations

The Three Crystals Of Heaven

Crystal Light Shining On A  Crystal Pure River 

Flowing Into A Crystal Sea Of Glass

By T. Dewitt Talmage

     The book of Revelation describes the three crystals that saints will see in the kingdom of God. First there is crystal light noted at Revelation 21:11 that says Having the glory of God: and her light (Jerusalem's light) was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. This crystal light will shine on all the healing leaves of heaven's tree of life shimmering on the topaz foundation of the beautiful city tossing in the plumes (feathers) of the equestrian riders of heaven on white horses clothed in fine linen, clean and white. 

      Next we see a crystal pure river of water of life at Revelation 22:1 that says And He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Finally we see a crystal sea of glass stated at Revelation 4:6 that says And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. According to Job 28:17 The gold and the crystal (of this earth) cannot equal it (God's wisdom and crystal glory in the kingdom of God): and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. The crystal of this earth cannot equal the clear crystal of heaven.

This is what we learn about the three crystals of heaven

And the earth's gold and crystal cannot equal it

A Lamb, The Lamb, Your Lamb

A Lamb-Sacrifice

The Lamb-Saviour

Your Lamb-Salvation

     Notice that Exodus 12:3-5 speaks about a lamb, the lamb, and finally your lamb. First Exodus 12:3 talks about a lamb saying Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house. Then Exodus 12:4 talks about the lamb saying And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Finally, Exodus 12:5 talks about your lamb saying Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or the goats. 

Notice the progression from A Lamb to The Lamb To Your Lamb 

     First we learn that a lamb had to be sacrificed for our sins because according to Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood there is no remission (release from the bondage and imprisonment of sin). The sacrifice had to be a lamb that was innocent and perfect to remove our sins. The blood of an innocent lamb was placed on the door of a child of God in Egypt for protection from the death angel. The Lord Jesus said at Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

     Next we identify The Lamb that was sacrificed to cleanse us from all our sins. John the Baptist told us that Jesus is the Lamb of God that was sacrificed for our sins at John 1:29 that says The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Jesus is the innocent perfect Lamb without sin according to 1 John 3:5 And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Also Hebrews 4:15 says The Lamb Jesus was without sin: For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 

     Finally, Jesus must become your lamb to be saved and cleansed from all your sins. Everyone must work out their own salvation with fear and trembling where Jesus is your Lamb that cleanses you from all sin. God has provided The Lamb Jesus for your salvation. Right now make Jesus your Lamb and get saved. Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. Tell the devil daily by faith I am crucified with Jesus Christ and my sins are removed because the blood of Jesus gives me total victory over the devil. Revelation 12:11 promises And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Keep Looking For Jesus

     In the Holy Land of Israel a tourist noticed a man who was going out to the Mount of Olives pictured above every day at the same time staying for a while and then coming back. One day he said to him I notice you go out to the Mount of Olives at the same time every day, stay a while and then come back. Why do you do that?

     The man replied, The Messiah Jesus is coming soon. His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives according to Zechariah 14:4. I should like to be out there when He comes. This man expected Jesus to come back to that mountain. Zechariah 14:4 says And His (Jesus) feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east, and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 

     Like this man, christians everywhere ought to be looking and waiting every day for the return of our Lord Jesus. According to Titus 2:13 we all should be looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. And according to Romans 5:1 when we look for this blessed hope, we will rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.    

If Jesus didn't come yesterday, I'm going to look for Him today

And If He doesn't come today, I'm going to look for Him tomorrow

Rejoice and claim the promise of Hebrews 9:28

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many

And unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time

Without sin unto salvation

I Just Had To Add This Story About A Bartender's Parrot

     A preacher needed a building for church services on Sunday. Then a bartender allowed the preacher to use his bar for church on Sunday. On Sunday when the preacher arrived at the bar, he learned that the bartender owned a parrot that said Here comes the bartender Here comes the bartender. Then when the musicians arrived, the parrot said Same old band. Then when the choir arrived, the parrot said Here come the singers; Here come the singers. And finally when the church members arrived, the parrot went crazy and said Same old crowd, same old crowd. The people in the church on Sunday morning were the same people in the bar Saturday night. 

Don't Be A Hypocrite

Remember a hypocrite is a fellow who isn't himself on Sundays 

Note the warning from Job 27:8

For what is the hope of the hypocrite though he hath gained

when God taketh away his soul
