The Kitchen Newsletter. Good day, The Kitchen explores, prepares and serves the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God — to create the form of the Father on earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let us journey through the Scriptures to see the Body of the Word. Revelation chapter 1 gives us one of the deepest unveilings of Jesus Christ in Scripture. John the Apostle, on the island of Patmos, encountered the Living Word of God in His glorified form. He saw Him standing among the lampstands, clothed in majesty, with eyes like blazing fire, feet glowing like bronze in a furnace, and a face shining like the sun in all its brilliance. Revelation 1:1–2 says: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon take place…” Then in Revelation 1:12–17, John describes the appearance of the Son of God in extraordinary detail. This encounter reveals an important mystery: The Word of God is a living person, has a full Body like man and He is the image of the invisible God. Hebrews 1:3 says: “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being.” John did not merely hear a voice; he saw a person with a full body. This Body of the Word is the visible revelation of the invisible Father. Through the Body of the Word, Jesus Christ continually reveals who the Father is. John 1:18 tells us: “No one has ever seen God except the one and only Son, who is at the Father’s side, who has made Him known.” Even today, Christ is still making the Father known through His body — the Body of the Word. Every detailed description we see in the Body of the Word in Scripture is a revelation of the person of the Word of God. These descriptions are not ordinary symbols. They are divine representations carrying spiritual insights, revelation, and understanding. Jesus Himself declared in John 5:39: “These are the Scriptures that testify of Me.” This means the Scriptures are designed to unveil the person of Christ. Psalm 119:130 says: “The unfolding of Your words gives light and understanding to the simple.” As the detailed descriptions of the Body of the Word are unfolded, they produce light — the revelation knowledge of the Father. One of the deepest revelations John received about Jesus Christ was this: “His eyes were like blazing fire.” — Revelation 1:14 This was not merely a physical description. It was a spiritual revelation unveiling the inner nature, passion, hunger, and desire of the Father revealed in the Body of the Word. Every detailed description of the Body of the Word is a revelation of the person of the Word of God. When John saw the eyes of Jesus like blazing fire, he was seeing more than brightness or judgment — he was seeing the aggressive hunger of the Father. Throughout Scripture, fire is associated with divine longing, consuming passion, holy desire, and eternal hunger. Isaiah 30:27 says: “His tongue is a consuming fire.” Ezekiel also saw the Son of God seated upon His throne and described Him as being full of fire from the waist upward and from the waist downward. This reveals that the blazing fire is not limited to one part of the body, but is a description of the whole Body of the Word. The Body of the Word is like blazing fire. The fire reveals that the Father possesses an intense longing, a deep craving, and an aggressive hunger — and this hunger is continually for the Body of the Word Himself. This is why Jesus declared: “I am the Bread of Life.” — John 6:35 The Body of the Word is the eternal food before the Father. In Exodus 25:30, God commanded that the Bread of the Presence remain continually before Him at all times. This bread prophetically reveals the Body of the Word as the satisfaction of God’s eternal desire. So when John saw eyes like blazing fire, he was seeing the eternal desire of God burning continually within the Body of the Word. The blazing fire also reveals that the Body of the Word is the fire upon the altar of God. Leviticus 6 commanded that the fire upon the altar must never go out. Day and night, the fire was to remain burning continually before God. This everlasting altar fire prophetically reveals the eternal passion and desire that exists within the Body of the Word. The fire in His eyes shows us: • The intense passion of the Father • The eternal hunger of God • The consuming desire of heaven • The zeal of God for the Body of the Word • The everlasting spiritual fire that never goes out The eyes of the Word are not cold or passive. They burn with eternal desire. They search. They unveil. They consume. They purify. They reveal. The blazing eyes of Christ carry revelation knowledge. They expose darkness and release light. 2 Corinthians 4:6 says: “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” The fire in His eyes is therefore the revelation of the glory of God. It is through these blazing eyes that the Father reveals Himself to creation. The eyes like blazing fire show us that the Word of God is alive, burning with divine passion, carrying the eternal hunger of the Father, and continually revealing the glory, desire, and nature of God to man. This mystery continues into the revelation of the altar and the incense of God. In the Tabernacle of Moses, there were two major altars: • The altar of burnt offering • The altar of incense The common factor between both altars was fire. The altar of incense was dedicated solely to incense before God. Upon this altar, God commanded a sacred fragrance to be burned continually. In Exodus 30, God gave a specific formula for making the incense using fragrant spices such as frankincense, onycha, galbanum, myrrh, saffron, cinnamon, and other sacred spices. These fragrant spices are prophetic representations of the contents of the Body of the Word. Song of Solomon chapter 4 describes the Beloved as filled with every precious spice and fragrance: “With myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices.” The Body of the Word is therefore the fragrance of God. The incense, the sweet aroma, and the atmosphere of God’s presence all proceed from the Body of the Word. The fragrance in the presence of God comes from the Body of the Word. Wherever this fragrance is found, the presence of God is revealed. The atmosphere of heaven is conditioned by the fragrance of the Body of the Word. Revelation 8:3–4 further reveals that incense is mixed with the prayers of the saints before God. This shows us that true spiritual incense is produced when the revelation of Christ is mingled with prayer and worship. The Body of the Word is: • The image of the invisible God • The Bread of God • The Fire of God • The Fragrance of God • The Revelation of the Father May the Lord continue to unveil Himself to us through the Body of the Word and fill our hearts with the light of the knowledge of His glory in the face of Jesus Christ.
