The Whole Earth is Filled with His Glory

Discuss the Millennial Reign
Isaiah 6:1-3 Numbers 14:21, Psalm 72:19
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Jeremiah 18:1-6
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
This is what God offers:
Romans 8:29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Potter
Conformed
Earthen vessels
God is molding clay, conforming people into the image of His Son that they might be vessels used for His glory. Earthen treasures. Go to the potter’s house and allow yourself to be conformed from married clay into a vessel that is made worthy to contain the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
…and while God offers this fashioning with His hands, so that His glory can fill the land, man, like at Babel, uses his own hands to form bricks and with clay and mortar forming his own will. At least he thinks it’s his will, but in reality, if it’s not the will of God, then it’s the will of evil, the will of evil to take from God His plan and His (God’s) glory from the earth.
Isaiah 6:1-3 The earth is filled with the glory of God Isaiah 6. Who will I send? Send me Lord!
Isaiah 6:4-8
4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke. 5 Then I said, “Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”
Isaiah’s Commission
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Okay, now, I’m excited. God is going to send me and He is going to use me to speak truth to those who are lost! And they are going to receive God’s truth, and they are going to be thankful that I told them truth, and many times they are.
Isaiah 61:1-3 1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me;because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek;he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
But many times they are not…
Isaiah 6:8-11 KJV
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not;
and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered,
Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach truth. The same anointing that results in salvation, is the same anointing that brings conviction, and the feeling of conviction brings the opportunity for repentance, or refusal to repent, but he who refuses today may accept tomorrow. The gospel is a seed and sometimes lies dormant in the soil until it’s watered again by the Spirit.
If they reject you, it’s not you they reject but me.
Luke 10:16. “The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
Man rejects because he makes his own bricks and builds and rebels against God’s will to multiple on the earth. If man follows the will of God, and receives God’s truth then God’s glory fills His people and He sends them where He wants them to go: Noah (replenish the earth), Israel (enter the land of Canaan), Isaiah (wherever he tells him to go), the disciples (where He sends them), you and I, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel— and the earth is filled w His glory
There will be a day when my King, your King will sit on the throne of David and rule on the earth as Sovereign. At that time God’s glory will literally fill the earth. Today, there is an earnest in the air, a down payment for the future, a down payment for us individually as believers, so our lives can produce that sweet smelling fragrance, but that earnest also reminds of the final deposit when you receive your glorified body, but it also represents the truth that His glorified body will conquer evil and rule and reign on the earth. And, at that time, the whole earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord.
At Babel, they came together in one mind and in one language under the command of Nimrod in rebellion against the word of God! God confused their language.
In the upper room they came together in one mind and one accord and the spirit of God fell and they were all filled and they were not drunk as you suppose, but these men be filled with the Spirit of God. This is what the prophet Joel spoke of that in the last days the Spirit of God would be poured out and you sons and daughters would prophesy and your old men would dream dreams and what you hear them say in your own tongue even though you all come from different nations and speak with different tongues caused by the rebellion at Babel. Now, through this miracle of God, through the outpouring of the Spirit of God, you hear them speak the wonderful truths of God! The glorious gospel of Jesus Christ that is the manifestation and fulfillment of God’s plan that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
Joel said that judgment is coming, the day when grace ends and judgment begins is vastly approaching, will you be part of God’s plan of salvation, will I? Will we allow God to use us, no matter how small or big? Or will we, with a spirit of rebellion allow the voice of evil draw us towards the rebellion of Babel that says, “Come let us make a name for ourselves”
While the humble lamb, Hebrews 5:7
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Let’s worship the one who pioneered the way for us
Hebrews 2:10
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
