One of the things that I am writing about is what the bible teaches or does not teach concerning hell and The Lake of Fire and The Second Death. Also, Solomon's Temple. This innitialy was a rsponse to another member posting about what the bible says or not about suicide and hell.
It has been revealed to me as a Jew the symbols used by the one that penned what is known as the book of Revelation who was John, a Jew writing to Jews and non Jews.
He penned that he saw death and hell cast into The Lake of Fire which he called The Second Death. So are hell and The Lake of Fire the same? What is this fire that John wrote about that a Jewish person could know?
The people in bondage in Egypt that were led out of captivity by Moses about 3500 years ago saw supernatural happenings. The Red Sea was parted, the first-born were killed while the Israelites put The Blood of the Lamb over their door so that the Angle of Death would Passover their house and spare their first born.
When they crossed over the Red Sea, we read in the book called Exodus,
[...And the Lord went before them by day in a Pillar of Cloud to lead the way, and by night in a {Pillar of Fire}...]
In the book called Revelation, in the first chapter, the seventh verse it reads,
[...Behold, He comes with clouds and every eye shall see Him...]
The cloud that the Israelites saw had the Lord in it. God was in the cloud as Glory. Let us look at Exodus 24 verses 15-18.
[...Then Moses went up into the mountain and a cloud covered the mountain. Now the Glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai and the Cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses Out of the midst of the Cloud. The sight of The Glory of the Lord was like a {Consuming Fire}...]. Later David wrote,
[..The heavens declare the Glory of God...]
Then God gave Moses instructions on building a movable temple (tabernacle). When it was finished, let's read in Exodus 40 verse 34 and see that God will abide in the tabernacle.
[...Then the Cloud covered the tabernacle...and the Glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle...]
This Glory was called The Shekinah Glory. This cloud is where God dwelled and we read in Exodus 33 verse 9 that God talked from the Cloud...The Word of God.
[...when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of Cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle and the Lord talked with Moses...]
Here God resided in a temple and spoke from a cloud and appeared as a {fire} in the cloud. This fire gave Light so that they would not walk in darkness. As we see in the book called Isaiah chapter 10:17,
[...for the Light of Israel will be for a fire...]. Where is this Light of Israel now? Can there be now a Light of the World so that those that follow that Light will not walk in darkness?
This cloud was overshadowing Moses when the tablets were given to him innitiating the covenant with the Isrealites. This shekinah always meant to the Isrealites that {God is With Us} and shall give a Light to guide them. It was a sign, as Isaiah wrote in 7:14,
[...The Lord will give you a sign...His name shall be called Immanuel..which means that God is With Us...]
