Grace and Glory

A cupboard door opened and revealed a large container stacked with silver coins.  All of them were engraved with moose antlers which are typically seen on the Canadian Quarter. But then the antlers either changed into wings or were displayed as wings. 

This vision is all very symbolic but all very biblical in nature.  Coins represent something of value. As a mathematical dividend, the number 25 contains the number 20 and 5.  The number 20 on its own represents Redemption as does, within the context of this vision, the element Silver. On its own, the number 5 represents Grace.  And the sum of 25 is obtained by multiplying 5 x 5.  Put together the number 25 represents multiplied grace through GOD’S Plan of Redemption: “grace for grace.”

“Out of his fullness we have all received grace for grace (abundance) already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.…(1 Jn.16)

The antlers that appeared as wings on the coins are meaningful.  A moose is the largest of the deer family (I didn’t know that).   And both shed and regrow antlers every year.   In brief, they represent Restoration and Regeneration through the Spirit of GOD. As wings, they also symbolize experiential times when the earthly is being transformed into the image of the heavenly – from greater to greater glory by GOD’S abundant Grace:

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (Jn.1:14)

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass (mirror) the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory (greater and greater) even as by the Spirit of the Lord the Holy Spirit made available by the Lord through His finished works) ” (2 Cor. 3:18)

I am hearing Words of Knowledge about Treasure and Strength. (After searching scripture for these words this morning, I marveled at the guidance of the following verses because they meaningfully confirm the vision.)

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels (the Spirit of Christ), that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh (restores, regenerates and transforms the inner man). So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; (truth spoken with faith and belief). Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus (gloriously with symbolic wings) and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant GRACE (the multiplicity of the number 5 – grace upon grace) might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the GLORY of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish yet the inward man is renewed day by day (again regenerated from greater to greater glory by GOD’S abundant grace). For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight (of eternal importance and value – coins) of GLORY; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (Lk. 12: 7- 18)

This vision conveys the Believer’s heavenly-rewards after having faithfully walked through the stages of justification, progressive sanctification and ultimately to glorification when we shall see the Lord in glory as we ourselves have become! (1Jn.3:2) Until then, we like deer have been granted authority to climb and fly to higher places (in the Spirit) with Christ (I am hearing: Le Seigneur (the Lord)) to the shelter of greater revelation, understanding and safety. To that secret place where we are shielded from the influence of the world below. (Eph.2:5-7 & Ps.91)

“The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ (deer) feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places (an elevation – spiritual and heavenly realms)…” (Hab. 3:19)

“For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels (wings symbolic of glorified bodies) in heaven.” (Mat. 22:30)

All Believers will encounter hardships on earth during a lifetime but I am encouraging you to persevere in the Lord. It will exponentially bless you with spiritual and eternal dividends. GOD’S spiritual economy – not man’s earthly economy – works in transformative and wondrous ways!

Praise GOD and thank you for your abundant grace and glory. Thank you for your Holy Spirit who regenerates and transforms us into your Son’s image, our Lord God Jesus Christ!

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your heart is there also will be your treasure” (Mat. 6:19-21) (Cf. Mat.25:14-30)

Keep the Faith,
