Q> In 2Kin.2:11 It describes a
chariot of fire with horses of fire.
Could you expound on the description?
2 Kin.2:11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that,
behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire,
and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a
WHIRLWIND into heaven.
To define the meanings regarding the fiery Merkabah (chariot)
and the fiery
horses, we must first understand each symbol pertaining to the
vision. There
are five main descriptions illustrating the vision regarding the
fiery chariot.
The five descriptions:
1) VEHICLE (chariot: Merkabah)
2) FIERY vehicle
3) HORSES
4) FIERY horses
5) WHIRLWIND
1) Vehicle (chariot: Merkabah)
It has always been common knowledge that a vehicle is an
object designed
to transport a thing or things from one place to another. The
fiery chariot
(Merkabah) is a spiritual (made of fire) transportation vehicle
purposely
manifested to remove a person from the dimension of our realm of
awareness to another, without that person experiencing a physical
death.
2) Fiery Vehicle
The vehicle (chariot: Merkabah) is described as being fiery
(chariot of fire).
This means that the vehicle is made of fire. Generally, when the
Bible
designates something as fiery, it refers to the red glowing
color, likened
to fiery, burning red coals.
The chariot is described as being made of red (fiery) fire,
revealing it to be
a spiritual (likened to wind) chariot and not a physical one. The
color of the
fiery chariot and the fiery horses of 2 Kin.2:11, being as a red
(fiery) flame,
is a revealing characteristic enabling the interpretation to be
clearly understood.
3) Horses
In the days of Elisha, it was common knowledge that physical
horses pulled
physical vehicles (chariots: Merkabahs). The horses which are
mentioned in
the vision of the chariot in 2 Kin.2:11 are not literal. Instead
the visualization
of fiery horses being one with the fiery chariot, was for the
purpose of
conveying to Elisha (in human understanding), that Elijah
ascended upwards
(whirlwind style) in a fiery spiritual vehicle. Had Elisha not
been shown the form
of horses made of fire, he would not have thought to call the
fiery vision (which
took up Elijah) a fiery chariot.
4) Fiery Horses
The horses seen in vision by Elisha were made of fire. The
fiery horses reveal
them to be spiritual and not physical. As previously stated the
term fiery
when mentioned in the Bible, is usually describing the color of
red burning
coals. The horses being of a red fiery color reveals a
characteristic which
when correctly interpreted facilitates in the unveiling of the
hidden meaning.
5) Whirlwind
A whirlwind is created by four winds spiraling around and up.
The whirlwind
is a description of how the fiery chariot ascended directly
upwards. When
Elijah and Elisha were standing near each other, a red stream of
fire connected
(as one) to the red fiery looking horses spiraled downwards from
heaven to
earth. After the fiery chariot descended and encompassed Elijah,
the whirlwind
chariot of fire (having the appearance of fiery horses leading
it) took Elijah
directly upwards like a whirlwind.
To understand the vision concerning the red fiery chariot with
red fiery horses
moving like a fiery whirlwind, is to understand prophecy itself.
Only the Chosen
Vessel can correctly make prophetic sense regarding the vision of
the fiery
chariot with fiery horses.
The vision which Elisha witnessed regarding the fiery chariot
taking up Elijah,
typifies the taking up of the 144,000. The 144,000 shall be taken
into the city
New Jerusalem (which shall be upon the earth) in fiery spiritual
chariots at the
end of the 1,335 days. Just as Elijah was taken up without
experiencing death,
so shall the 144,000 (one group of Firstfruits) be taken into the
city New
Jerusalem (which shall be upon the earth to gather the Saints)
without
experiencing death. The fiery horses which Elisha saw, symbolize
the
200,000,000 Horses (feminine Bride of the Lamb) who shall
resurrect:
thereby being fiery.
Rev.9:7
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto HORSES
prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were
crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.Rev.9:16
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two
hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number
of them.
Rev.9:17
And thus I saw the HORSES in the vision, and them that sat
on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and
brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads
of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and
brimstone.
The 200,000,000 army of Gods Saints being likened
symbolically unto fiery
horses once they resurrect, shall torment (during the five months
terrible time
of trouble) those who are not Sealed.
Joel 2:4
The appearance of them is as the appearance of HORSES
(200,000,000 horses); and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Joel 2:5
Like the noise of CHARIOTS on the tops of mountains shall
they leap, like the noise of a FLAME OF (red) FIRE that
devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Prior to the resurrection of the 200,000,000 Saints (who are
killed: fulfilling the
Fifth Seal in every new testament generation) they are symbolized
as horses,
not fiery horses.
Zec.1:8
I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red
horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were
in the bottom; and behind him were there RED HORSES,
SPECKLED, AND WHITE.
Rev.6:2
And I saw, and behold a WHITE HORSE: and he
that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer.
Rev.6:4
And there went out another HORSE that was RED:
and power was given to him that sat thereon to take
peace from the earth, and that they should kill one
another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Rev.6:5
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the
third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo
a BLAVK HORSE; and he that sat on him had a
pair of balances in his hand.
Rev.6:8
And I looked, and behold a PALE HORSE: and his
name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed
with him. And power was given unto them over the
fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
The Four Horses mentioned in the first four Seals of
Revelation chapter six,
are also represented by the Four Beasts (horses are
beasts/animals) round
about the throne.
Rev.4:6
And before the throne there was a sea of glass
like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne,
and ROUND ABOUT the throne, were FOUR
BEASTS(representing the Four Horses) full of
eyes before and behind.
The Four Beasts (Bride of the Lamb) round about the throne,
and the
Four Horses mentioned in the first Four Seals, reveal the Bride
(First
of the Firstfruits) in human form prior to the fulfillment of the
Fifth Seal.
After the fulfillment of the Fifth Seal, the Horses (Bride of the
Lamb in
human form) shall be symbolized (when resurrected) as Fiery
(spiritual)
Horses. In addition, the Four Beasts (Horses: Bride in human
form) round
about the throne shall be revealed as Seraphs (red Fiery Angels)
when
resurrected. The word Seraph is designated to a fiery (red) six
winged
Angel. Just as the Four Beasts round about the throne (being the
Bride in
human form) are shown having six wings, the Seraphs (being the
Bride in
Angelic form) are also shown with six wings.
Rev.4:8
And the four beasts had each of them SIX WINGS
about him; and they were full of eyes within: and
they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
Is.6:2
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.
The Four Beasts: Four Horses (being the Faithful Bride in
human form, prior to
the fulfillment of the Fifth Seal), are also represented by a Red
Serpent while in
human form. At the resurrection of the 200,000,000 Saints
(Bride), they are
symbolized by red fiery horses, red fiery Seraphs and by red
fiery flying serpents.

The fiery red horses which Elisha saw with the fiery red
chariots, reveal that the fiery
chariot symbolizes the Bride of the Lamb. The color
red and also a horse, both
symbolize the feminine aspect of the Bride (foundation of the
church) of the Lamb
(masculine mate). In the book of Revelation the horses are shown
as having hair like
women, because they (horses) represent the feminine part of their
perfect mate.
Rev.9:7
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto HORSES
prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were
crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.Rev.9:8
And they had hair as the HAIR OF WOMEN (feminine), and
their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Song 1:9
I have compared THEE (feminine Bride), O my love, to a
company of HORSES in Pharaoh's chariots.
The color red in prophetic terms symbolizes the
feminine half of the perfect mates.
Adam (masculine mate) would be symbolized by the color blue
(hail). Eve (feminine
mate) would be symbolized by the color red (fire). Purple
symbolizes the Elohiym
(God the Father and God the Mother) who created Adam and Eve in
their
image: masculine and feminine.
The sanctuary which Moses constructed in the wilderness,
incorporated the three
colors of purple, blue, and red. There were also three metals
used in the construction
of the sanctuary, gold, silver, and copper.
The colors of purple, blue, and red coincide with the three
metals of gold, silver, and
copper. Purple or gold symbolize the scroll itself (see Rev.5:1).
Blue (hail) or silver symbolize the first side of the written
scroll which revealed the
latter day Man-child (Groom). Therefore, the color blue and the
metal silver refer
to the masculine mate.
Red (fire) or copper symbolize the second side of the two
sided written scroll,
which reveals the latter day Chosen Vessel (first among the
Bride). Therefore,
the color of red and the metal copper refer to the feminine mate.
The fiery red chariot which Elisha saw having fiery red
horses, symbolizes (in
prophetic language) the feminine Bride of the Lamb after the
Saints (200,000,000
First of the Firstfruits gathered during the new testament period
by the Lamb
personally) have resurrected. The 200,000,000 army of Gods
Saints (Horses:
Brides being the First of the Firstfruits) are divided into ranks
(troops).
Joel 2:7
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb
the wall like men of war; and they shall march every
one on his ways, and they shall not break their
RANKS (troops):
In Joel 2:4 the 200,000,000 army of Gods Saints are
shown as horses. Joel 2:5
states that the horses make the sound of many chariots, and the
noise is likened
to the noise of a flame of fire. There are 20,000 fiery red
spiritual chariots which
are identical to the fiery red chariot which Elisha witnessed
taking up Elijah.
Ps.68:17
The (fiery red) CHARIOTS of God are TWENTY
THOUSAND, even thousands of angels: the Lord
is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.To make up one chariot (one rank; one troop) like the fiery chariot Elisha witnessed,
takes 10,000 fiery horses. There are 200,000,000 (see Rev.9:16) fiery horses
(resurrected Saints who are the First of the Firstfruits), and there are 20,000
(see Ps.68:17) fiery chariots. Elisha saw the fiery horses of one fiery chariot which
took up Elijah. The troop (rank of horses) making up one fiery chariot (which Elisha
saw) equals 10,000. By dividing the 200,000,000 fiery horses by the 20,000 fiery
spiritual chariots (all 20,000 chariots are like the one Elisha saw), this reveals that
each fiery red chariot is made with 10,000 fiery horses.
20,000 Fiery Chariots
200,000,000 Fiery Horses
200,000,000 Horses ÷ 20,000
Chariots = 10,000 (troop) Horses
make one Chariot.
One Fiery Chariot / One Rank
(one troop) is accomplished
with 10,000 Fiery Horses.
The stream of fire (made by the one rank of 10,000 fiery red
horses) is the chariot which
follows (as one) the red fiery horses. Within the stream of fire
which is created by one rank
of 10,000 fiery horses, is where the 144,000 will be when
transported to the city New
Jerusalem. Twenty thousand fiery chariots (which are created by
the 200,000,000 fiery
red horses) shall gather up the 144,000 Firstfruits from Babylon
(Christendom) at the end
of the 1,335 days. Each fiery chariot (made up by 10,000 fiery
horses: Seraphs) is likened
to an individual fiery whirlwind.
When all 20,000 fiery chariots combine themselves together,
they are referred to as an
awesome whirlwind. The 200,000,000 fiery horses (Bride of the
Lamb) collectively are
symbolized by the city New Jerusalem.
Rev.21:9
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which
had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and
talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee
the BRIDE, the Lamb's wife.
Rev.21:10
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and showed me that GREAT CITY,
the HOLY (new) JERUSALEM, descending out of
heaven from God,
Eze.1:4
And I looked, and, behold, a WHIRLWIND came out
of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself,
and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst
thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of
the fire.
The whirlwind of the Lord collectively is represented by the
200,000,000 fiery horses:
Seraphs. When the 200,000,000 horses divide into ranks (fiery
chariots) they are like
many (20,000 chariots) whirlwinds of the Lord (HAYAH HAVAH).
Is.5:28
Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent,
their HORSES' HOOFS shall be counted like flint,
and their wheels like a WHIRLWIND.
At the beginning of the Sixth Seal, there shall be five months
terrible time of trouble (great
tribulation) such as never was. Only the 144,000 among the living
shall be Sealed (marked)
to escape the awesome time of terror. In the middle of the five
months terrible time of trouble
(ending of the 1,335 days), the 144,000 shall be gathered into
the city New Jerusalem by
the 20,000 fiery chariots (which are created by 200,000,000 fiery
red horses: Seraphs).
During the five months time of trouble the rebellious (those who
are not Sealed/marked
with the Revelation of the two sided Seven Seals Scroll), shall
receive the fury and anger
of HAYAH HAVAH.
Is.66:15
For, behold, the LORD will come with FIRE, and
with his CHARIOTS like a whirlwind, to render his
anger with fury, and his rebuke with FLAMES OF FIRE.
Is.40:24
Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be
sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth:
and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither,
and the WHIRLWIND shall take them away as stubble.
Is.41:16
Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them
away, and the WHIRLWIND shall scatter them: and
thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in
the Holy One of Israel.
Jer.4:13
Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his CHARIOTS
shall be as a WHIRLWIND: his HORSES are swifter than
eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Jer.23:19
Behold, a WHIRLWIND of the LORD is gone forth in fury,
even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon
the head of the wicked.
The 200,000,000 fiery horses shall resurrect and fight the war
in heaven first. Immediately
thereafter the Sixth Seal shall be fulfilled on earth, beginning
with the five months terrible time
of trouble (see Rev.9:5) upon those who are not Sealed.
Rev.9:3
And there came out of the smoke LOCUSTS
(200,000,000 fiery horses) upon the earth: and
unto them was given power, as the scorpions
of the earth have power.Rev.9:5
And to them it was given that they should not kill
them, but that they should be tormented FIVE MONTHS:
and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when
he striketh a man.
Rev.9:7
And the shapes of the LOCUSTS were LIKE UNTO
(fiery) HORSES prepared unto battle; and on their
heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their
faces were as the faces of men.
Jer.25:32
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go
forth from nation to nation, and a great WHIRLWIND
shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
The four winds (four resurrected horses mentioned in the first
four Seals represent the
200,000,000 fiery horses) are the four fiery spirits. The four
winds which are being
held by the four Angels (the four Angels of Rev.7:1 represent the
riders/Groom of the
200,000,000 horses/feminine/Bride in Rev.9:14,16), symbolize the
200,000,000 resurrected
Saints. The four winds collectively are an awesome whirlwind
being the 200,000,000
fiery horses. The four winds of Rev.7:1 were once the four horses
(Saints in human form
prior to the fulfillment of the Fifth Seal) mentioned in the
first Four Seals. After the four
horses (Bride in human form) resurrect, they are shown in Rev.7:1
as four winds (four
spirits of fire). The four winds (200,000,000 fiery horses) are
the awesome whirlwind
of HAYAH HAVAH.
Zec.6:5
And the angel answered and said unto me, These
are the FOUR SPIRITS (four winds of Rev.7:1) of
the heavens, which go forth from standing before
the Lord of all the earth.
Rev.7:1
And after these things I saw four angels standing on
the four corners of the earth, holding the FOUR
WINDS (four spirits: 200,000,000 horses of fire) of
the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth,
nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Jer.30:23
Behold, the WHIRLWIND (created by four winds of fire)
of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind:
it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
Hos.8:7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the
WHIRLWIND (fiery whirlwind: bride in Angelic/Seraph
form) it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so
be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Amos 1:14
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall
devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of
battle, with a tempest in the day of the WHIRLWIND
(fiery whirlwind:200,000,000 Seraphs)
Nah.1:3
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will
not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the
WHIRLWIND and in the storm, and the clouds are the
dust of his feet.
Zec.9:14
And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow
shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall
blow the trumpet, and shall go with WHIRLWINDS of
the south.
Ps.104:4
Who maketh his ANGELS (fiery red Seraphs: fiery horses)
SPIRITS (four winds: four spirits); his MINISTERS
(redeemed) a FLAMING FIRE (from human to Angel):
The Sea of Glass where Gods (HAYAH HAVAHs) throne
is situated is not prophetically
shown at this time (prior to the resurrection and redemption of
all Saints) to be illuminated by
the Shekinah Glory or by the fiery Seraphs (Redeemed in Angelic
form). All the Redeemed
are fiery Seraphs. After the destruction of latter day Babylon
and the human memories of all
the Redeemed Saints (who at that time shall not be in human form,
thereby being fiery Seraphs)
have returned back to the future where Gods throne dwells,
then shall the Sea of Glass be
illuminated by the fiery Seraphs (Redeemed) and by the Shekinah
Glory.
In Revelation chapter four and five it mentions the three
groups of the Redeemed (Righteous
Angels) in heaven while they have their human image on earth. The
three groups are gathered
from every generation on earth during the old and new testament
periods.
First group: Four Beasts (First of the Firstfruits:
200,000,000 Horses: Bride), see Rev.4:6.
Second group: Twenty four Elders (Firstfruits: Fellowservants and
144,000), see Rev.4:4.
Third group: Ten thousand times ten thousand, thousands of
thousands of Angels/messengers
(Fruits: Great Multitude), see Rev.5:11.
Once the millenium begins, then prophetically, the Sea of
Glass (where Gods throne is situated
within New Jerusalem, see Rev.21:22) is revealed to be mingled
with fiery Seraphs (all the
Redeemed). The fiery Seraphs have three main Glories:
1) First of the Firstfruits (Bride)
2) Firstfruits (Fellowservants and 144,000)
3) Fruits (Great Multitude).
Rev.4:6
And before the throne there was a SEA OF GLASS
(prophetically there are no fiery Seraphs in Angelic
form upon the sea of glass, as the knowledge of their
experience of their human image on earth has not yet
returned to their heavenly Angelic/Seraph body) like
unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round
about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before
and behind.
Rev.15:2
And I saw as it were a SEA OF GLASS MINGLED
WITH FIRE (the fiery Seraphs have no longer a human
form/image on earth, as all the human experiences of
their human lives will have prophetically returned back
to heaven): and them that had gotten the victory over
the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and
over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God.
