THE HUSBANDLESS CHURCH

As I pressed in, I found myself under the wings of the Cherubim, I looked and saw myself looking up to the mercy seat and the Lord began to speak to me.

Watching the wings of the Cherubim, I noticed them covering me, so vast, their wings were spread out. This time I felt something different. I have never seen such a thing in this perspective before.

I looked to the side where I saw a group of people. These people were not under the wings of the cherubim, and they were not on the mercy seat.

I asked the Lord who were these people. He replied, “These are the ones that are husbandless. This is the husbandless church and they have gone away from me”.

I began to do a study on this and found the following-

The New Strong’s Concordance defines the word cherubim used in (2 Chronicles 3:13-14) as follows

Looking up the word Cherubim, where the wings spread

Hebrew 3742 – kruwb, ker-oob; the same as 3742 kruwb, ker-oob; of uncert.der; a cherub or imaginary figure:-cherub,(plur.) cherubim’s.

Hebrew 9.5 Greek -5502; cherubim, kher-oo-beem; plr. of Heb or (3742); cherubim (i.e., cherubs or kerrubim):-cherubims

Further- I broke down the word cherubim from the Greek word to chera.

chera, khay-rah;fem. of a presumed der.appar.from the base of 5490 through the idea of deficiency; a widow (as lacking a husband), lit. or fig:-widow.

5490- Greek- chasma,khas-mah;from a form of an obs.primary chao- (to gape) or yawn) a chasm or vacancy (impassable interval);-gulf

So what is God saying here? I believe that what He is saying is this: as we come under his covering, the mercy seat, the wings of the cherubim, we find our beloved, our husband. We know this perhaps.

No more will we feel like there is a gulf, a void, a vacancy, no more will there be a church that is asleep (yawning), no more, will we be lacking and feeling like a widow, no more will there be a deficiency.

A deficiency is a lack, a shortage, an absence, a deficit, a defect, a fault, a flaw, an imperfection, an inadequacy, shortcomings, or failings.

A Widow as a (noun) widdo means:

1. one whose husband has died, especially when she has not remarried

2. a woman left behind, whose partner regularly goes away from her to take part in a particular activity
