A Love Story or The City of Fire Song of Solomon 8:6, 7

Ezekiel 28: 13,14 not only a beautiful angel. Walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Exodus 24: 17- devouring fire The stones of fire represented the fact that Lucifer walked in the very glory/presence of God. Fire represents another thing. Song of Solomon 8:6-7-Many waters cannot quench love. Lucifer walks in the very presence of God. Not only that, he was surrounded in the very essence of Gods love. In the Bible Fire of God represents His LOVE. When Lucifer rebelled, He rebelled against the Law of God. Law of God= Law of Love. When he rejected that love, he was cast out. There is vacancy. Mankind was created to fill that vacancy. Adam and Eve were actually created to stand in the presence of God. God is a consuming fire. But adam and eve in their perfection can stand before God and not be consumed. However sin entered. Education p. 15. Face-to-face, heart-to-heart communion with his Maker was his high privilege. Had he remained faithful to God, all this would have continued forever But by disobedience this was forfeited. Through sin the divine likeness was marred, and well-nigh obliterated. Can anybody see the face of God? Their concept has been changed. Sounds like fire proof. They had robes of light. Light simply meant fire. In revelation, Gods people will be given white robes. White in Greek means fire.

The Gospel prepares us to face Jesus in His 2nd coming and not be consumed. Matthew 3:11- Spiritual baptism of fire that prepares us for the Consuming Fire. Have you ever felt a burning in your heart for somebody special? Gospel is designed to re-ignite the fire in our hearts. To prepare us. Gospel is a love story. Ephesians 5:25 Revelation is the ultimate love story. It is a story of a bride, bridegroom and antagonist. Give me a few moments, and I will steal her heart. Christ Object Lesson page 415 it is the darkness of misapprehension Revelation of His character of Love. Revelation is a love letter. Bridegroom seeking out His bride=seven churches. Ephesus- left her first Love. Satan corrupts the church. Laodicean- people of the judgement. Returns to his first love. Rev. 6- rider in white horse- Jesus. Satan will do everything to corrupt the bride. Seven final plagues is a love story. To protect His people. Babylon- gf ni satan. She tries to seduce the bride to be like her. 19- the bridegroom rescues His bride. Off to a thousand years honeymoon.

Love story-emotional connection. yes, Jesus I love you. Love is a principle. I love you because it is principle. You can love the doctrines but it is different with loving Jesus. There should be emotional connection, but not based on emotion. Not emotionalism. Did not our hearts burn? Song of Solomon is a love story.

It would be a torture if you are not prepared. 3 friends of Daniels- not consumed in fire. God wants you to burn FOREVER. Isaiah 33:14, 15 Righteous burns forever.

God loves the wicked so much that He would not let them enter Heaven for that very reason. Great Controversy page 542, 543 Could those whose lives have been spent in rebellion against God be suddenly transported to heaven and witness the high, the holy state of perfection that ever exists there,-- with every soul filled

with love, every countenance beaming with joy, enrapturing music in melodious strains rising in honor of God and the Lamb, ceaseless streams of light flowing upon the redeemed from the face of Him who sitteth upon the throne,-- could those whose hearts filled with hatred of God, of truth and holiness, mingle with the heavenly throng and join their songs of praise? Could they endure the glory of God and the Lamb? No, no; years of probation were granted them, that they might form characters for heaven; but they have never trained the mind to love purity; they have never learned the language of heaven, and now it is too late. A life of rebellion against God has unfitted them for heaven. Its purity, holiness, and peace would be torture to them; the glory of God would be a consuming fire. They would long to flee from that holy place. They would welcome destruction, that they might be hidden from the face of Him who died to redeem them. The destiny of the wicked is fixed by their own choice. Their exclusion from heaven is voluntary with themselves, and just and merciful on the part of God.

The wicked wants to enter the Heaven. God will embrace the wicked. They would have the taste of Heaven, it would be like Hell from them.

Malachi 4 The devil twisted that the wicked burns forever. Destruction of the wicked- love of God Sea creatures outside the ark but not destroyed. Flame on Fire creatures- will survive
