Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 16:13-15a
16:13. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
16:14. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
16:15a. "Behold, I am coming as a thief.


The three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and it triggers the fornication as well as the last and the biggest battle or wickedness, namely Armageddon. It happens just before God comes a second time on the glorious clouds. Those who are disobedient and walking naked will enter Armageddon. They walk naked and men see their shame, so they cannot be glorified with Jesus on the glorious clouds, but they are left to be destroyed forever.

But, God does not will that His church becomes the target of the unclean spirit until being naked and destroyed forever.

Philippians 2:8-10
2:8. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
2:9. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
2:10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,


The way out and the effort of God is that Jesus must be willingly stripped and obedient to the point of death on the cross to do the things as follows:

  • Receiving the name which is above every name.
  • Defeating the trinity of Satan.
  • Giving the cloth to cover our nakedness.

Jesus dies, but He is risen and ascends to heaven. He sits at the right hand of the Father God to become the High Priest who ministers to us. There are seven clothes of the High Priest that Jesus gives to us, so we can become as perfect as Him. In the past time, the cloth of the High Priest was made physically. But for us now, we receive the spiritual cloth from Christ's sacrifice.

Exodus 28:4,36-38

28:4. "And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate(1), an ephod(2), a robe(3), a skillfully woven tunic(4), a turban(5), and a sash(6). So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest.
28:36. " You shall also make
a plate of pure gold(7)and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
28:37. "And you shall put it on a blue cord, that it may be on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.
28:38. "So it shall be on Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.


As for us, we must watch and receive the robes of priesthood from Christ's sacrifice. We keep wearing it, so we are not naked.

Revelation 16:15
16:15. "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame."

We learn about the seventh robe of the High Priest, namely a plate of pure gold that is engraved "HOLINESS TO THE LORD". It means that our mind and thought must be purified. Otherwise, our mind will aim at the sins up to the peak, and the false worship. The example is that the Israelites made and worshipped a golden calf.

Exodus 32:4
32:4. And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they said, "This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!"

Why did the Israelites make a golden calf? It was because their mind and thought had not been purified yet. They had not put a plate of pure gold yet, so they still remembered the idol in Egypt, namely valiant men (a bull). In the wilderness they made a golden calf, then, and they sat down to eat and drink. It means living in the sins of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.

Jeremiah 46:14-15
46:14. "Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in Migdol; Proclaim in Noph and in Tahpanhes; Say, 'Stand fast and prepare yourselves, For the sword devours all around you.'
46:15. Why are your valiant men swept away? They did not stand Because the LORD drove them away.


Be watchful! Satan wants to seal our mind with the three things as follows:

  1. The earthly mind, namely one who sets his mind on earthly things, so he surely rejects the cross.
    Philippians 3:18-19
    3:18. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
    3:19. whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who
    set their mind on earthly things.

    He just hunts for the earthly thing that meets the flesh even though it is not in accordance with the Word of God. He also hunts the prosperity and entertainment that just lead to the perdition forever.

  2. The fleshly mind, namely one who sets his mind just to follow the lust of the flesh, so he does not obey the Word of God. The flesh cannot subject to the law of God, although he knows the true thing.

    Romans 8:5-7

    8:5. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
    8:6. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
    8:7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.


    That is why we must not agree the false deed when we have known the true one. Asking the true thing, he actually already knows. It means that he just provokes to find others' mistake and fulfill the pleasure of the flesh.

    John 21:3-7

    21:3. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
    21:4. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
    21:5. Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any food?" They answered Him, "No."
    21:6. And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
    21:7. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.


    The example is that Peter just followed his fleshly mind, so he did not obey God who had lifted him up from fisherman to fishers of men (the priest and king or the servant of God). Peter became the fisherman again. It means that he was disobedient and unfaithful up to leaving the ministry. Peter had experienced how good it was to follow Jesus, but he returned to his fleshly mind after Jesus died.

    The consequences are as follows:

    • One does not know God, and vice versa [John 21:4]. Such life is going to be cast out by God.
    • Catching nothing or being in total failure.
    • Being naked. It means being ashamed, so one cannot be glorified with God. He is surely destroyed forever.

  3. The wicked and unclean minds(a harlot's forehead), namely one who sets his mind to the unclean and wicked things that trigger the sinful deeds, wickedness, uncleanness up to the peak. He will be used in the building of the Babylon, namely Satan's bride who is perfect in evil and uncleanness. Consequently, he will be destroyed by God forever. He hates the true thing but supports the false one.

    Jeremiah 3:3
    3:3. Therefore the showers have been withheld, And there has been no latter rain. You have had a harlot's forehead; You refuse to be ashamed.

    Revelation 18:2
    18:2. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

    Consequently, there is no revelation of the Word. If a shepherd agrees the wicked and unclean things, namely mixed-marriage and divorce-remarrying as well as supports the false servant of God, he will not receive the revelation of the true Word. If the congregation agrees the wicked and unclean things, they will not understand the revelation of the true Word. It is the same as being spiritually withered. One is not fervent in the spiritual things such as ministering, praying, and reading the Bible. His words are also dry, namely lying, gossiping, slandering, and blaspheming Holy Spirit or the true teaching Word. At last, he experiences the spiritual death. He just lives in sins up to the peak. He lives in wickedness and uncleanness. His marriage is also false.

    Moses ascended to Mount Sinai, and he struggled to receive the revelation of the true Word, but Satan infiltrated among the Israelites. We must be careful. When a shepherd prays and fasts, Satan can infiltrate among the congregation who are negligent. Consequently, three thousand people died. The number three thousand refers to the volume of the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. Three thousand people died. It means that they cannot be holy and perfect. On the contrary, when the people or the congregation was in the battle, David (a shepherd) walked on the roof of the king's house, so he fell into sin of uncleanness with Bathsheba. The congregation and shepherd must watch together, so Satan cannot infiltrate. Likewise, in the household, the parents must give the good example for the children to watch. The example is that Sunday school service may not be underestimated

Revelation 13:15-18

13:15. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
13:16. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
13:17. and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man:
His number is 666.

One who keeps the earthly, fleshly, wicked, and unclean minds will become the target of the Antichrist to be marked with triple six on the forehead (mind) and hand (deed). Consequently, his body is flesh (6), his soul is flesh (6), and his spirit is flesh (6), so he appears as the flesh and blood men who cannot repent and be changed. They just become the beast that follows its own flesh.

Approaching the second coming of Jesus, the Antichrist is giving the triple six fervently to human. At the same time Jesus also gives His mark fervently to us.

2 Timothy 3:2-5
3:2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3. unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
3:4. traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!


In the last days, perilous times will come. It means that men are hard to be changed.
'unholy' is not about the atheist but mixing the true teaching with the other religions.
In the last days, the church of God will experience perilous days, namely one is hard to be changed from the flesh and blood man to the spiritual one like Jesus. Those who keep the fleshly men with the eighteen characteristics will be marked with triple six. They will become the same as the Antichrist who will be destroyed forever.
This warning is not only for those who have not known God, but also for those who have known God.

That is why Jesus also wants to give a plate of pure gold on our forehead through the three things as follows:

  1. Jesus' blood and name that save us.
    Romans 5:9
    5:9. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

    Acts 4:12
    4:12. "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

    Jesus' blood and name are given to save the Israelites and Gentiles.

    Exodus 13:13-16
    13:13. "But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.
    13:14. "So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that you shall say to him, 'By strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
    13:15. 'And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'
    13:16. "It shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt."


    Without Christ's sacrifice, the Gentiles are just like the donkey whose neck is just to be broken right after it is born. If the donkey is redeemed with a lamb, it shall live. The Gentiles can live up to eternal life by receiving the redemption by Jesus' blood, so we receive the power of Jesus' name.

    Our forehead (mind) and hand (deed) must be marked with Jesus' name. The fact found in it is that we experience the freedom from sin, starting from the eight major sins that bring the servant of God to the perdition in the hell.

    Revelation 21:8
    21:8. "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

    If we have been set free from the eight sins by the power of Jesus' name and blood, we will experience the atmosphere of the heavenly feast although we still live in the midst of the world.

  2. The true water baptism, namely one who has died to sin or repented must be buried in the water with Jesus and come out or rise from water with Him to receive new life. We have the new heart and mind that are not marked by Satan.

    Matthew 28:18-20
    28:18. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
    28:19. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
    28:20. "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.


    By the true water baptism, we are being marked with the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, namely Lord Jesus Christ, so we cannot be touched by Satan and the Antichrist with the triple six.

    1 Peter 3:19-20

    3:19. by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,
    3:20. who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.


    In the true water baptism, our heart receives the mark of the name of Lord Jesus Christ, so we have a good conscience, namely obedient heart. Our mind is also marked in the true water baptism. Those who have been marked will feel disgusted to; even hate the sin and the false teaching. Their minds sigh and cry over the sin.

    Ezekiel 9:4-6
    9:4. and the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."
    9:5. To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.
    9:6. "Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the temple.


    Those who reject the true water baptism, so there is no seal on their foreheads, will be tormented with the torment of a scorpion for five months, but they are not killed. In the days of Noah, men were not obedient but every intent of the thoughts of their heart were only evil and unclean, so they were punished with the floods up to perdition.

    Revelation 9:2-3,5
    9:2. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
    9:3. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
    9:5. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.


    Genesis 7:23-24
    7:23. So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.
    7:24. And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.


    If we receive the true water baptism, so we receive the seal of the Trinity of God in our heart (being obedient) and mind (hating the sin and the false teaching), we will not want to commit sin or hear the false teaching even once.

    Luke 1:24-25
    1:24. Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
    1:25. "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people."


    As a result, we are set free from all sins and punishments of God or the hell, so we are saved up to eternal life.

  3. The preaching of the Word of God.
    Psalm 138:1-2
    138:1. <<A Psalm of David.>> I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You.
    138:2. I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.


    Deuteronomy 11:18-19
    11:18. " Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
    11:19. "You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.


    We hear, understand, believe in, and practice the Word, so it is engraved on our hand and forehead. The power of Jesus' name will work in us. The fact found in it is that our mouth always speaks the true Word of God. We can be honest as well as testify (not vilifying others).

Song of Solomon 8:6
8:6. THE SHULAMITE TO HER BELOVED Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

If our heart, forehead, and hand are marked by the name of Jesus through Jesus' blood, water baptism, and the preaching of the Word of God, we will be marked on God's forehead and hand. We are like a baby in the hug of God's merciful hand which is as strong as the death.

John 13:23-26
13:23. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
13:24. Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
13:25. Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
13:26. Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

Our position is like John the apostle who leans on Jesus' bosom. The Holy Communion is our big chance to be marked with the name of Jesus, so we are set free from sin. We can obey the Word, become honest, and testify for God. Do not be like Judas Iscariot who is in the hand of Satan! We must have seriousness in Holy Communion. It is our big chance to be marked by God or instead in the hand of Satan.

The result of being in the hand of God is that we will not be marked with triple six by the Antichrist.
Those who are marked by God know the Antichrist, so they will not have fellowship. God's merciful hand which is as strong as the death is able to protect us from disaster, false teaching, and hatred until the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years. We are protected, saved, and evacuated to the wilderness far from the eyes of the Antichrist.
Our life and death are in the hand of God. God's hand which is as strong as the death is able to take care of us in the midst of disasters until the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years. All of impossible problems will be finished by God's hand which is as strong as the death. The hand of God is not limited by the power of death. The important thing is that we want to be marked by God as well as live in His hug. We receive beautiful future.

John 21:20-22
21:20. Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
21:21. Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?"
21:22. Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."


Revelation 21:3-4
21:3. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
21:4. "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."


In the New Jerusalem, there shall be no more death or hatred. We just love and prioritize God. We prioritize the ministry to God. We can love God and others. We can return good for evil. We love those who make hostility toward us. God will make all things good in our life.

Revelation 22:3-4
22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
22:4. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.


'there shall be no more curse' means that we must keep the peaceful heart. We become obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore. We have the robe of the bride to enter the New Jerusalem forever.

We are weak like a baby, but God's merciful hand which is as strong as the death will do everything for us.

God blesses us.
