“And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
Revelation 8:5 KJV
Then the angel filled the golden incense burner with coals of fire from the altar and hurled it onto the earth, releasing great peals of thunder, voices, lightning flashes, and an earthquake. As our prayers, mixed with the intercession of our High Priest, Jesus, ascend in the Spirit the very coals of fire from the altar, are cast into the earth, which releases mighty power. The voices carry the Word of the Lord. The thunder manifests God’s power. The lightening strikes illuminate divine truth as a great earthquake shakes the kingdoms of men in their foundations. These are not only acts of judgment, but purification. The altar is central in the vision of the Lamb that was slain - the triumph of the Cross is unveiled, in redeeming mankind’s innocence. The fire from the altar is the judgment that the Lamb faced as scapegoat of the human race. The earthquake takes place because of fault lines - a great shifting is taking place along the fault-lines of people’s thinking. Let’s believe that the time is near when all mankind acknowledges and bows before our LORD and Saviour - Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
