This is from a dear sister in Christ, as we were discussing Amy's rainbow dream. I think it is excellent, and the charts show the idea.
Amy,
I read with great interest your 'Rainbow Dream' posted today at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2007/amy730.htm I believe it wonderfully confirms what the Spirit of the Lord was showing me several months ago. Let me explain.
Back in January, the Lord was showing me several things that at first, made little sense. When I finally began understanding the gravity of it, I was overwhelmed, even as Paul was, with the wonder and majesty of it all. For the sake of brevity though, I will share with you the conclusions of what the Lord showed me over a much longer period of time.
The first thing I want to mention is that the KEY to understanding your dream is found in your last words, "When we saw that happening, I felt the fear of the Lord come over me."
Isaiah 33:6
He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE KEY TO THIS TREASURE.
What I was shown is that the SEVEN SPIRITS of the Lord are represented by the SEVEN candlesticks on the menorah. The Spirits of the Lord are found in Isa. 11:2:
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
There are six listed above, and the seventh is the Lord Himself-- as represented by the CENTER candlestick on the menorah.
Thus you have PURE WHITE light (Jesus/center candlestick) and on EITHER SIDE of the center are three candlesticks each (recall your dream of some rainbows being ABOVE and some BELOW the 7 rainbows). Each of the three candlesticks on each side of the center represent these Spirits listed in Isa. 11:2 above. Each are also represented by COLORS... It is likely that this division is broken down by WARM colors on one side, with COOL colors on the other.
Do you recall from your science class what happens when white light hits another medium that has a transparent nature? Of course we remember that even as light hits a prism it refracts or bends into the colors of the rainbow (yet it must have some transparency, yes? Selah.)
When the Sons of God are manifested to the world (of which ALL CREATION GROANS FOR), their appearance will likely be as though their body has a halo effect of rainbow colors. Why? Because when the veil is torn away, the WHITE LIGHT that has been hidden within us will REFRACT AND BEND as it emanates OUT of us. The Sons of God will, in effect, be wearing Joseph's COAT OF MANY COLORS. And this is never more obvious than in the actual menorah itself. Look at it. It represents our very temple, OUR BODY. Jesus in the center, and the six Spirits of the Lord that ENCOMPASS Him (wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge, fear of the Lord). In fact, if you look at the menorah as if looking down at it from the ceiling, you will see something similar to this:
● ● ● Δ ● ● ●
Each of the circles represent a color and a corresponding Spirit of the Lord. So it could be looked at this way:
● ● ● Δ ● ● ●
When you 'connect the dots', you will see the CIRCULAR RAINBOW, as each color blends into the other:
When you look at the circular rainbow effect created by connecting the dots represented as the flames on the menorah, doesn’t it just look like a DOUBLE menorah—a mirror image? Indeed, I believe it does… And I believe therein is the secret:
Job. 11:6
And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are DOUBLE to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
There is incredible wisdom and truth in the entirety of that verse.
The circular rainbows in your dream then ARE the Sons and Daughters of God who will be endowed with the perfect mind of Christ (which IS the Seven Spirits of the Lord) in order to bring righteousness to the earth. It could be said that the Sons, represented as the cool colors in the rainbow, are on ONE side of the menorah, and the Daughters, represented as the warm colors in the rainbow, are on the OTHER. It is they who together will JUDGE the earth in righteousness.
Isa. 26:9-
My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
This is never more confirming than when you saw fire and brimstone coming out of the CENTER of the circular rainbows. This is saying that the Sons of God, endowed with the perfect mind of Christ, will mete out true and righteous justice (judgment) in the earth.
Is this a time to fear? Heavens NO~~ In fact,
Romans 8:22-
We know that the whole creation has been GROANING as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
Even as a very pregnant mother WANTS and LONGS for her child to be birthed, so too does CREATION long for this day--- because Adam and “all that he had” was sold into bondage (he was given dominion over ALL creation, thus all creation groans for this restoration to begin).
Yet even as a child will view correction in a very immature way—preferring to RUN from it rather than accept it, so too will many view this change coming to the earth as disruptive, evil, bad, terrible… whatever you want to call it… If it disrupts the comforts that the flesh has grown accustomed to, or it disrupts the idols of their own mind, the carnal man in us will ALWAYS view it as evil. Such is the ways of MAN.
The circular rainbows are the LIVING MENORAHS, the Sons and Daughters of God wearing the mantle or coat of many colors, the firstfruits that sanctify the entire harvest, the warm and cool colors on either side of the pure white light. This mantle or covering of the six Spirits spoken of in Isa. 11:2, and which pictorially are represented by the colors of the rainbow, are collectively known as WISDOM, and takes on a FEMININE persona….and so it must, if we are to be the BRIDE:
Prov. 4:6
Do not forsake wisdom, and SHE will protect you…
Prov. 1:20
Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises HER voice in the public squares;
Prov. 7:4
Say to wisdom, "You are my SISTER,"
Prov. 14:33
Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools SHE lets HERSELF be known.
The Spirits of the Lord, represented as the six candlesticks on either side of the menorah and graphically portrayed as the “coat of many colors” is very much a feminine persona in type. Only a Bride can marry the Bridegroom. Only a woman can birth a manchild.
Jeremiah knew this also, and confirms the double menorah aspect:
Jer. 31:22
The Lord hath created a new thing in the earth: A woman shall COMPASS a man.
And indeed, the bride shall. ;-)
So if we be part of the Bride company, the Sons and Daughters of God (warm and cool colors) wearing the mantle of Christ-- then we should be seeking Wisdom out, even as Solomon did. But where did it all begin? Did it not all begin in the beginning with seeking out Wisdom?
Gen. 3:6
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining WISDOM, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
And so we come full “circle,” as it were….The end meets the beginning. What Eve sought out for, God will deliver. We will gain wisdom ultimately in FULL measure, but it no doubt has been a long and painful process of learning over thousands of years. The BEGINNING of finding her, is in experiencing the FEAR OF THE LORD. ….But that is the subject of another study. ;-))
