Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

Ezekiel #3

Ezekiel #3

Ezekiel was captive during the 70 years in Babylon 721 B.C.. Jeremiah and Daniel were contemporaries. Ezekiel prophesied during captivity that Jerusalem would be destroyed within 7 years. 1-24 the glory of God departs 25-28 the glory returns. Chapter 33 describes our day. Ezekiel was a priest by lineage and training at the age of 30. Theme is the Glory of God. Ezekiel calls himself the “Son of Man”. The most often used phrase “then they will know the I am the Lord”. He was 30 years old when the hand of the Lord was upon him (Eze 1:1-3, 1Ki 18:46). He saw an electric God and cherubim – calf is clean and pure (Eze 1:4-5, Heb 12:29). Bronze refers to judgment. God doesn’t turn – His purpose doesn’t waiver (Eze 1:6-9, Jam 1:17). John saw the throne with living creatures as well (Rev 4:1-8, Eze 1:10-14). Wheels within wheels (Eze 1:16); God is everywhere; His plan doesn’t change and it covers the universe (Rom 11:29, Eze 1:17-18). Eyes on the wheels depicts omniscience (Rev 4:5-8, Rev 5:6, Isa 11:2). God is omnipotent (Eze 1:19-21). God is described as a man – the only physical manifestation (Eze 1:22-25, Rev 1:15, Dan 7:13-14). Ezekiel saw the Glory of God and fell on his face (Eze 1:26-28). God (Jesus Christ) in symbols: of King – Lion; of Servant – Ox; Man – man representing man ; Eagle – Deity
