"It's a grave responsibility before God to proclaim the WHOLE of Scripture. " Your words will live forever, Dr Alexander. With love from Central India.
I have just watched 2 chapter from these teachings. But this Pastor teaches from the Heart of Gods Word. I have learned a lot. Thank you so much for making these public. Amazing. Blessings to you.
This is so encouraging. Many times I have tried to tell people the gospel and had no discernible response. This has made me feel so frustrated and I always think it's because I am not worthy to witness and so have no power. It's true that we have to be walking after the Spirit to have any power in witnessing. Having said that it is perhaps the case that in some cases a seed may have been planted, which another witness may water, and that unknown to us the Lord will give the increase. So we can bear fruit for the Lord without even knowing it. Perhaps this is what Paul meant when he said preach the word in season and out of season. Our work is to witness, not to convert. Only God can convert.

The 30th year is the age of Ezekiel he has come of age and qualifies to be High Priest. It's his birthday and the Heavens are opened. WOW what a gift! The next day his work begins as the LORD gives HIS instructions. The 30 year age grants Ezekiel authority as priest for Israel, now they're required to listen. Do they hear or do they forebear? No, they are stiffnecked and refuse. For this reason the mime and models are used without Ezeziel's voice. If they can't hear then they must see with eyes and not the voice of Ezekiel.
god: "i love you, you will love me, or i will burn you alive every day for eternity" god is a psychopath and the sooner religions go the way of the pharoahs, the happier i will be.
Thank you for these teachings on Ezekiel. Had a dream on Ezekiel 21.3 which has worried me for years. But after ignoring the message because of lack of understanding, I came under a lot of condemnation, that I started researching and study on God's judgement and mercy. About a burning Hell, I have noticed that Paul never preached on it... if it was so important, why does Paul not stress the seriouness in more detail. Judgement I am starting to understand, but Hell, a burning fire for ever and ever and ever and ever just seems to make God out to be such a monster, who has failed in drawing all men to Himself and to the Father. Grace and Hell just brings a double mindset that brings confusion.
They were in captivity because of not listening....and image in captivity what would be their hearts conditions..... but God is just and wants people to be saved .... though He is God but looks like bagger of the street....This is the love of God
I appreciate this Ralph's emphasis on knowing God and God's work in one's life. I would appreciate for him to expand on what it means that we can "always rely on God" in light of the following...🤔 How does that work while one is being fed to the lions... while your head is being chopped off... while you're starving.... perhaps to death...while you are burnining with green branchs...at the hands of professing "Christians" ...while you're naked and dying of cold.... I would like his help in understanding "we can always rely on God" here....🤔
Romans 8 17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ-if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him. 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. 2 Corinthians 4 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and temporary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that far outweighs our troubles. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Rev 22 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Whatever you do in faith in the name of Jesus Christ will be reap ETERNAL REWARDS. Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Odd you asked a question that has been played out. Christians have been fed to lions, decapitated and starved to death. They remained steadfast and kept their confidence to the end. Even the Roman historians remarked on how steadfast in their faith they exercised to the end. Professing christians are not always what they profess to be making your argument mute. Many will say Lord Lord we have done many wonderful works and he will say depart from me I do not know you. Mat 7:22 paraphrased
The messianic term 'son of man' in Ezekiel as well as in Daniel connotes first and foremost the pure lineage of Adam under the principle of everything after its own kind especially under the circumstances that we were told in Genesis of the violation of that principle by the 'sons of God' that came to the daughters of men and their gigantic offspring that threatened to corrupt the seed of man. If we'll notice, that term 'son of man' was only used to denote the faithful of Israel and never a Gentile in the OT. The Messianic title 'the son of Man', is meaningful as the offspring of a pure lineage of Israel, whom God was preserving for that sole purpose!
Ezekiel 1 The vision is a typological picture that points to Christ. Each face is an aspect of him. Placement of groups and Banner around the Tabernacle Each of the 12 tribes had their own banner, but when they gathered around the tabernacle 3 tribes would stand under a group banner Groups of 3 Each under 1 banner They all faced the Tabernacle A Lion- Judah, Issachar, Zebulon. East. A man- Reuben, Simion, Gad. South An Ox- Ephriam, Manasseh, Benjamin. West An Eagle- Dan Asher, Naphtali. North The Lion Christ is the lion of the tribe of Judah. (Revelation 5:5.) They stood behind the lion. It is his banner that we raise. We put him first. Satan may go about as a roaring lion, (1 Peter 5:8) but Jesus is the true lion. Acts 17:29 "Therefore since we are God's children. NASB. In the same way he overcame we overcome The Man There is a perfect man. It is the fullness of Christ manifest in and through us. It is us being conformed to his image. It is Christ in us the hope of Glory. It is no longer I but Christ that dwells within me (Ephesians 4:11-13, Romans 8:29, Colossians 1:27) The Ox It is the most expensive sacrifice. There is none like him that paid the price for us. The Ox can represent the ministers of God working the field of the harvest. We are an example for others to see and learn how the field is plowed so that they can plow the field of their hearts. If Christ is the sacrifice, then we are living sacrifices as the scripture says. (Leviticus 9:4 Ox is an offering) The Eagle It nests in high places, in the rocks of the mountain. We are hidden in the rock that is Christ. It can see its prey from up to 5 kilometers away. We are seated in heavenly places and see from the perspective which is above. (God carried Israel on Eagles wings Exodus 19:4)(Saints soar like eagles Isaiah 40:31) (God is like an eagle that stirs up the nest and hovers over its’ young Dueteronomy 28:11-12) What if as a holy nation we had and walked in all 4 of these aspects. What would it look like? (1st Peter 2:9 We are a holy nation) Ezekiel 1:4-21 V4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north - an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. There is something about those that have come though the storms of life and are perfected by them. The scripture also speaks of a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on to run the race (Hebrews 12:1) The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, This glowing metal is pure and can speak of us being purified in Christ. There are those who have bought gold that is tried in the fire (Revelation 3:18) 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. The feet of a calf is straight and I believe this speaks of their walk being righteous and true. The wings speak of their speed of movement and how they are those that are carried by the spirit. (Daniel 7:6 four wings, Alexander The Great of Greece conquered the known world in 10 years) 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. Our hands speak of the ministry we perform before the lord. It being under the wings shows that much of what we do is hidden All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. They were established and did not turn. Completely focused on Christ. They are like the bride of Christ that has doves eyes (Song of Solomon 1:15, 4:1) 10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. Notice That these faces are the same as the banners for the grouping of the tribes of Israel Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." NIV 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Are not my ministers a flame of fire (Hebrews 1:7) Living creatures Those who have become like Christ. Each face represents an attribute of the nature of Christ The tabernacle of Moses. The tabernacle represents Christ, who was in the center. How can we be like the 12 tribes? We gather as one nation, with one purpose in one accord. Rom 8:19-20 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. NIV When we are one like Jesus prayed then we will be revealed as the sons of God (John 17:11, John 17:22)
Since you mentioned idols are “statues” there are many more things that are idols like the wage (oppression), many forms of insurance (all of which “create Jon’s”), rent, lifelong house and car debt, and things like gambling (some people get addicted and lose all of their money), even coupons to “help us save money,” few pennies), big things like houses, cars, food (many get addicted and become obese), food advertisements and all advertisements, corporations, college degrees, high school diplomas (so you MIGHT get a higher paying JOB, but many never do ruining their lives, families, etc), and everything,really! Most idols have always existed but shouldn’t, like all insurance, but all these idols exist because of the WAGE SYSTEM which is oppression, and not freedom, and by USA and UK having those things that “create jobs” making us “look good” outwardly, but inside the idols is lots of DEATH. For example, we hear of a wife takes out life insurance on her husband and then kills him to collect the $1 million or whatever. And we only “create jobs” in our own country, leaving most poor nations with no jobs which kills millions of people worldwide. The wage is idolatry and the problem, not the solution! We are being taught MYTHS, lies but not the TRUTH of “God’s Perfect way” that will set all people free from oppression worldwide, because that’s always been God’s whole PURPOSE (Isaiah 14:24-27): to end all oppression and end world poverty and crimes and wars, and save lives, and destroy death! God’s Perfect way will be a Universal Basic Income (aka Guaranteed Residual Income) so no one works for an oppressive WAGE while leaving billions to starve to death, with no income, especially during this pandemic! God’s perfect way will never cause any problems for anyone ever, the way the wage does. Jeremiah 2:13 the fountain of living waters means a UBI (water also refers to water) and fountains are always overflowing, meaning everyone will have a never ending supply of money, which were forced to need over millennia. (“WHEN CORPORATIONS RULE THE WORLD” pg 252. When all people have a UBI then none of those deadly imperfect IDOLS will exist! And you’re teaching way too SLOW! Slow slow slow! This is just the tip of the iceberg! I’ll be back to see what you think of what I’ve said. God bless you! (Oh no, he just died about a year ago! I’m so sorry for losing him. I hope someone else will follow him up here on TH-cam.)

Ezekiel 1
The vision is a typological picture that points to Christ. Each face is an aspect of him.
Placement of groups and Banner around the Tabernacle
Each of the 12 tribes had their own banner, but when they gathered around the tabernacle 3 tribes would stand under a group banner
Groups of 3 Each under 1 banner They all faced the Tabernacle
A Lion- Judah, Issachar, Zebulon. East.
A man- Reuben, Simion, Gad. South
An Ox- Ephriam, Manasseh, Benjamin. West
An Eagle- Dan Asher, Naphtali. North
The Lion
Christ is the lion of the tribe of Judah. (Revelation 5:5.) They stood behind the lion. It is his banner that we raise. We put him first. Satan may go about as a roaring lion, (1 Peter 5:8) but Jesus is the true lion.
Acts 17:29 "Therefore since we are God's children. NASB. In the same way he overcame we overcome
The Man
There is a perfect man. It is the fullness of Christ manifest in and through us. It is us being conformed to his image. It is Christ in us the hope of Glory. It is no longer I but Christ that dwells within me (Ephesians 4:11-13, Romans 8:29, Colossians 1:27)

It is the most expensive sacrifice. There is none like him that paid the price for us. The Ox can represent the ministers of God working the field of the harvest. We are an example for others to see and learn how the field is plowed so that they can plow the field of their hearts. If Christ is the sacrifice, then we are living sacrifices as the scripture says.

It nests in high places, in the rocks of the mountain. We are hidden in the rock that is Christ. It can see its prey from up to 5 kilometers away. We are seated in heavenly places and see from the perspective which is above. (God carried Israel on Eagles wings Exodus 19:4)(Saints soar like eagles Isaiah 40:31) (God is like an eagle that stirs up the nest and hovers over its’ young Dueteronomy 28:11-12)

There is something about those that have come though the storms of life and are perfected by them.

Living creatures Those who have become like Christ. Each face represents an attribute of the nature of Christ
The tabernacle of Moses. The tabernacle represents Christ, who was in the center.
How can we be like the 12 tribes?
We gather as one nation, with one purpose in one accord.

When we are one like Jesus prayed then we will be revealed as the sons of God (John 17:11, John 17:22)
