Revelation 19:9

The marriage supper of the Lamb is the meeting between Jesus who comes a second time in the glory as the King of all kings or the Heavenly Bridegroom, with the perfect congregation or the Heavenly Bride on the glorious clouds. Then, we enter the One Thousand Years Kingdom of Peace or the future Paradise [Revelation 20] and the eternal heavenly kingdom or the New Jerusalem [Revelation 21-22].

John 3:29a
3:29 "He who has the bride is the bridegroom;

22:33 But he said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death."
22:34 Then He said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me."
The test of the ownership toward the church is the same as a winnowing. The church experiences the winnowing two timesas follows.
The spiritual meanings of the chaff are as follows.
The spiritual meaning of the wheat is Christians or God's servants who prioritize the true teaching Word regardless of any risk they must take. They are being filled by the Shepherding Word continually. It refers to the Word God trusts to a pastor that he may preach to the congregation continually and repetitively as the food. The congregation is being filled continually to be the ripe wheat or as perfect as Jesus is.
The Shepherding Word becomes the command in the congregation to decide what to do so that they do not lose their way to go to the New Jerusalem or the last shepherding pen.
Only a pastor whom God appoints may provide the food for the congregation.
The place to be filled with the ripe wheat is in the sheepfold.

The spiritual meanings of the chaff are as follows.
- Christians or God's servants who look for or are satisfied by the physical things only, but being empty. They are not filled with the true teaching Word.
1 Corinthians 15:19

Their lives are more pitiable than the people who do not believe in Jesus. They live in suffering and sorrow until being burnt in the fire of the hell to perish forever. - Christians or God's servants who do not want to confess the sins, but only blame others and God or the true teaching Word.

1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

They are the empty Christians who only use the self-truth without the truth of the Word. They become the dwelling place of seven spirits of Satan and the condition is worse than the beginning. They are perfect in evil and uncleanness as the woman of Babylon or the bride of Satan who will be destroyed.

It refers to believing in Jesus or the Gate, repenting or the Altar of Burnt Offerings, water baptism or the brazen Laver, and Holy Spirit baptism or the Veil. We are saved and blessed by God.

Exodus 26:33
26:33 "And you shall hang the veil from the clasps. Then you shall bring the ark of the Testimony in there, behind the veil. The veil shall be a divider for you between the holy place and the Most Holy.

10:17So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Matthew 7:24-25
7:24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
7:25 "and the raindescended, the floodscame, and the windsblew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
We are wise. We have the wisdom of heaven.

3:3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
The highest hope is being as perfect as Jesus is.

1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,
We can love others as we love ourselves; even we can love our enemy.
We always do good deeds to others. We can give alms to other people who are in need; even we can repay good for evil.
We can love God more than anything. We pray and worship God much more. We only believe and hope in Him.
Acts10:1-2, 4
10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
10:2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.
10:4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.

Do not be hopeless in facing the winnowing or temptations and problems. Do not hope in others, but let us be filled with the wheat or the Word in the shepherding. We are like a baby in the embrace of God's hand. The results are as follows.- The merciful hands of God are able to preserve and protect us in the midst of difficulties in the world up to the days when the antichrist reigns over the world.

The merciful hand of God is able to do all things we cannot do. We are changed to be the perfect bride when Jesus comes a second time. We are ready to welcome Jesus' second coming until we sit with Him on the throne of the New Jerusalem.
- The merciful hands of God are able to preserve and protect us in the midst of difficulties in the world up to the days when the antichrist reigns over the world.
