An Open Vision

I keep having this open vision and I’m going to share it. I’ve experienced it for the past several years on and off, but lately it has become more defined and far more intense. The emotion and feeling I experience is deep and arresting.

My perspective of all the events in this vision is lower, as if holding a camera only a few inches above the ground. As it unfolds, I remain close to the ground in this expansive area which I can only say is the area around the Throne of God, His Court perhaps. In the far distance, through shrouds of glory clouds, is God’s Throne – it’s lit up glowing from within, an amalgamation of clouds swirling and folding continuously into itself, and light emanates from within with no particular point of origin, I can’t see shadows it’s just amazingly bright, open and delivers an intense sense of awe. The enormity of it, the scale is not describable, I am very far away and yet still, it sits towering upon the horizon line, an exceedingly great Presence.

Stretching out from each side of the Throne are two columns, one moving outward from the left side and one from the right side, comprising two rows of angels, rather stacked one on top of the other, but not standing on each other, just arranged in these two rows of glorious organic pillars towering upwards on either side of the Court from before the Throne – thousands of them side by side down the row on both sides of the Court – which creates this center expanse in the middle between them where I see millions of figures, people, so small in comparison to the scale of the throne that I can see no details about them and can hardly make out individual shapes- they are like a vast sea.

The angels on the very bottom are Cherubim, protectors of the anointing, these creatures are part lion part eagle, they are on all four legs, more animal in appearance but even they tower over the crowd gathered in the center. Their scale is huge. Arranged at the top, over the Cherubim is the continuous row of human like angels with expansive wings so long in span that each touches the next angle’s wings end to end, stretching out in perspective towards me the sight is overwhelming – getting larger in perspective as they reach me of course. These two rows are facing each other from either side of the Court, with the figures in the middle at ground level.

The top row of angels are holding banners, flags, huge colorful flags that they are moving with great effort and purpose, all in unison, thousands stretched out in these two perfectly aligned rows, on either side of the court all the way to the edge of the throne far in the distance through the clouds – all in this perspective from my ground’s eye view, towering over me. The sound of the flags whirling through the air is like thunder, they are enormous, the wind from their movement blows everything around them as the angels raise them in unison through the air in a sort of musical praise and dance – all straight up in unison and down with a powerful stroke to the left, then arching perfectly back up through the air over their heads – the glory of it is overwhelming, and they are at times twirling the flags as they move them. Each stroke takes many more seconds because of their size. I can only imagine I’m on the ground because I couldn’t possibly be standing up under the glory of it all. The glory of the Lamb of God, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, praise be to God forevermore.

There is a rumbling sound, low and arresting, as what appears like water gushes out from before the throne with tremendous power, yet it remains in perfect shape and control, low to the ground, I can’t quite get the scale on it but it is expansive and stretches out for miles and miles – moving in only one direction – from the throne down the court between the two columns of angles. When it reaches me I begin moving with it, looking at it, it’s forceful and unstoppable and exceedingly fast. It’s like a mix of water and light – symbolic of the Holy Spirit but it isn’t just water, I can’t exactly tell what it is but it moves like water and shimmers like light reflecting off of water – it also is moving with purpose, fast flowing outward and beyond the end of the row of angels. I flow with it for only a moment in time before I fall back from the front of the wave and I’m watching it roll on out into the vastness of light beyond me, everything behind it now covered and moving through it.

I can’t see where it’s going but I have no doubt it is destined for the earth and God’s people. A movement of God is on the way, I’m not sure how else to read this.

Some Insufficient Examples for Reference

For some kind of reference, I’ve done a few internet searches. Below is the best references I could find that describe to some paltry degree what I’m seeing – it’s nothing like what I’m seeing in the Spirit – but the perspective and scale is what I’m going for; each are about 100x more than what I could find and copy here. There is no justice that can be given to a vision from God – none.

Praise Jesus:)

The scale of the Cherubim at the bottom of each row of pillars, only in my vision x100. I could not find any, even insufficient examples of the humanlike angels with wings waving their banners in unison at the top of each pillar.

From my vantage point, below is an example of the receding perspective of the rows of angels extending from the Throne, on each side of the Court, one after the other, only they are perfect organic pillars of angels towering above the Court….not manmade pillars of stone.

And here is a more comprehensive view of the vantage point and perspective, again, nothing like the light and sound and glory of the vision, just an example of the vantage point and how the angelic pillars recede into the distance all the way to the Throne. Notice also how this is open, expanding into the sky and space around it – this is like the vision, nothing was enclosed in another structure, only open expanse around the Throne, like the blog’s featured image of clouds.
