REDEMPTION

Luke 21:25-28 ESV
“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your... redemption is drawing near.”
“…roaring of the sea and the waves…” the chasm between carnality and spirit, the floor of heaven, the sea of glass, the canopy surrounding the earth, the place where all bidding takes place affecting our environment.
I cannot get the four beasts diverse in nature out of my mind that came up out of the sea in Daniel 7. Although these kingdoms or man’s attempt of control broke through the sea and caused much roaring, the ancient of days stately and poised upon his throne crushed them all, and, although they may have been literal in Daniel’s day; these kingdoms become a paradigmatic visual for all kingdoms bidding the same.
Our environment under this canopy will always reflect the wars in the heavens; nothing can happen in the spirit without it affecting our carnal existence, always has and always will. When the roaring of the seas and the waves takes place as a result of the heavens being shaken, we must maintain our peace.
The worse things become, deliverance comes closer. I realize there are times we get knocked down so low we have to look up to see down; nonetheless, we must straighten up and look up. There is only one answer to the atrocities caused by the thrashing of the sea; the ancient of days cradled in His throne and from it a river of fire flowing with redemption.
