Exodus 15:1-11
“[11] Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?” (Exo. 15:1-11). God rested on the Israelites by the Spirit to sing a song which were questions about the glory of God and His wonder. There is a wonder of God which mankind is yet to see. These questions were sang and they awaited the answer. These questions were the burdens in Moses’ heart, questions which he sought answers to because he was on a quest. Although, Moses saw a dimension of God's face, there were still answers he wanted (Exo. 33:17-18).
Moses did not get the answer because the answer is concealed in God's face (Exo. 33:19-20). When this song was sung again, it went beyond the song of Moses to the song of the Lamb (Rev. 15:3). The answer to the question was in the Lamb. The song of the Lamb speaks of the greatness and marvelousness of God's works and the answers to the questions were embedded here. The works of God were spoken about and His ways were also spoken of. The works of God are everlasting: they are great and marvelous. The church in Revelation journeyed to see the ways of God, which are just and true.
"Just and true" are eternal substances of God. The church in Revelation could sing two songs at the same time: the everlasting and eternal dimensions of God. The Church must sing these two dimensions to get the answer to the question, “Who is like God?” The unveiling of God is in the face of our Lord Jesus, for it is only the Prince of God that can unveil God.
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” (John 1:18). Jesus is the only One that can declare God. The question, “Who is like God” must be answered. Until this question is answered, man cannot take his portion in God. Man has a portion in God and unless God is revealed, he cannot take his portion.
Jesus is two things to us. He is first the brightness of God’s glory and then the express image of His person (Heb. 1:3). The express image of His person is lower to the dimension of Him being the brightness of God's glory. To encounter this understanding, we have to receive the ministry of God's face.
The song of Moses was not sung until the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea and Pharaoh and his chariots had sunk. Also, the church in Revelation 15 did not break into the song of the Lamb until they stood on the sea of glass and had gained victory over the beast (Rev. 15:2-3).
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” (Rev. 13:2). The dragon is always behind the beast. Pharaoh was a beast and a serpent; he was the first work of Satan but the beast is the last work of Satan. The beast is the full expression that can receive the seat of Satan’s authority.
“[3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:3-4). The beast is a wonder. The great contention of mankind is to ask the question, “Who is like God?”. This question is not an ordinary language. To attain a place of asking and demanding the answer to this question is a breakthrough in the spirit.
The beast was also raised and the whole world wondered at him which led them to ask the question, “Who is like unto the beast?”. This is because they had also received the revelation of the beast. By reason of this dark revelation they had received, they did not see anyone that could compare to the beast.
For the question, “Who is like God?” to come from the heart is a breakthrough for our generation. No one can serve God and mammon (Matt 6:24). Mammon is a god that man worships and we need to race into answering the question, “Who is like God?” to escape this worship. If we do not, we would receive the revelation of the beast. We do not know what is ahead, so we must be diligent to take all that God is dispensing, to ensure we are properly equipped to escape the darkness coming upon the earth.
We must understand that the revelation of God is at stake in this season. Anyone that comes into the revelation of God has broken through in the realm of the spirit. We are in the season of breakthrough where God wants us to be like Him and this is only possible when God answers the question, “Who is like God?”.
God is Spirit and they that must worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). As such, the answers to the question are the components of worship, to make us true worshippers. This is the unveiling of the secret of the highest and it will take the Prophet of the highest to unveil the answer to the question. Jesus would be showing the light of God’s face to answer the question, for these are secrets that belong to God.
“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deut. 29:29). Although they are secrets, they can be revealed so it would become our possession. If this question can be answered through our Lord Jesus Christ, then we are being beckoned to be like Him. In this season, many are going to overcome the beast. We must esteem prophetic declarations that would come forth from this mount (at Believers’ Convention 2022). We must overcome the beast because he is looking for those he would seal to eternal damnation.
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2). Our becoming like God is tied to His appearance. Although, none should see God and live (Exo. 33:20), a people will be enabled to see God and live. The preparation through doctrine, the commandments of faith unto charity, and the commandments of everlasting works is to prepare us to see God as He is, and have the capacity to live.
The secret of the Highest that makes creation unable to bear Him is His nature. The nature of God is glorious in holiness and fearful in praises (Exo. 15:11).
“Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.” (Rev. 15:4). There is something God is that cannot be compared to any other thing – His holiness! The nature of God speaks of a realm of holiness alone which cannot be compared to any other. His holiness is His sinlessness. God's first nature which would be made bare to us is that we see His holiness.
“Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. [2] Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” (Ps. 29:1-2). Holiness is beyond singing, it is a working in the heart. Our hearts must capture holiness to be able to worship God. It is only God who is sinless. The second ministration of God is that God cannot die. Sinlessness and the inability to die are the dimensions of God that would be captured in this season. These natures make God above all creation and in this season, He is committed to give it to us in our generation.
The nature of holiness which makes God separate from all things is what He would make us partakers of. It is possible to partake of the holiness of God! A generation is going to arise by God's grace, who will see the possibility of being sinless.
Sin is the ministration of the beast; he is the man of sin (2 Thess. 2:3). He exalted sin to make all men cringe and believe that it is impossible to be sinless, but this is not true because as the revelation of God's holiness is coming to us, we will become sinless. In this Convention, God will enlarge our capacity to house His nature. Sinlessness and the inability to die are the ministrations of the everlasting and eternal dimensions of God that He wants to give to us.
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1 John 3:9). It is only God who cannot sin, but in this generation, God is raising a people who cannot sin. This would be our testimony because we would be born of God. In this Convention, we would receive the incorruptible seed. The seed is falling and it will fall upon us.
Blessings!
