Q:In the visions of Daniel and St John the wind plays a significant role. Can you elaborate on this?
A: We can only draw inferences from what the Spirit has indicated and these must serve for our instruction in righteousness. Within these parameters let us walk through the Scripture. The nature of wind as Jesus explains it, "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth." But God a Spirit"who walketh upon the wings of the wind," is in control. The Law of the Spirit must take over how the wind operates. Thou hearest the sound thereof' refers to the manner the Law directs the word of God. It sends as a cloven tongue so it gives all who were gathered in one place, as promised by the risen Christ. "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting." So the men were under the will of God. "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."(Ac.2:1-4) As with cloven tongues of fire the Law gives a body in accordance with the word. It was thus John the Baptist recognized that Jesus was the Lamb of God.( John 1:33) In short the Law of the Spirit chooses the body in accordance with the will of God. So walking upon the wings of the wind explains the word that is sent forth from God.(Is.55:11). The sign is set by the Word and validated by the Law. So Jesus presents the church as sins and wonders. (Is.8:18;He.2:13)
In the vision of Ezekiel, who is a sign and also designated as the son of man we have this,"Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, Son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live."(Ez.37:9). The Law is life ("by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."-Ro.8:11)
