In this sermon, the speaker begins by reviewing the points covered in the previous session and suggests translating them into Chinese for better understanding. The focus then shifts to the preparation of the prophet for his ministry, specifically the visions of God. The speaker highlights the importance of the first great vision given to the prophet, which is described in verses 4 to 28 of chapter 1. The vision emphasizes the power and authority of Jesus, who is depicted as being on the throne. The speaker emphasizes that the entire ministry of the prophet is rooted in this vision and encourages the audience to recognize the significance of Jesus being Lord.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the centrality of the Man upon the Throne in Ezekiel's vision, asserting that all of history and prophecy must be viewed through this lens. He explains that the Throne represents God's ultimate authority and governance, with the Son of Man at its center, signifying that all dominion and judgment stem from Him. Sparks highlights that the character of this Man governs everything, including the ministry of God's servants and the recovery of His testimony. He concludes that the Church's strength and confidence come from the understanding that Jesus is on the Throne, which empowers believers to endure trials and fulfill their calling. The message is clear: the presence of Christ in His rightful place is essential for the Church to realize its inheritance and purpose.

John Gill preaches on the ascension of Christ to heaven, emphasizing its prophetic significance and fulfillment as foretold in the Scriptures. He explains how Christ's ascension was pre-signified by various prophecies and types, including the Psalms and the experiences of figures like Enoch and Elijah. Gill highlights the evidence of the ascension, the time and place of this event, and its implications for believers, including the assurance of their own future ascension. He concludes by affirming that Christ's ascension opens the way for believers to enter heaven and encourages them to set their minds on heavenly things.
