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

Revelation 7:15-16
7:15 "Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
7:16 "They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

God's activity on the throne of heaven is dwelling among or covering us.

The covering of God on the throne of heaven means as follows.

  1. The covering or preservation by the Word.
  2. The covering or preservation by Holy Spirit.

Thus, the covering of God means the Word and Holy Spirit that will be the two wings of a great eagle
.

Exodus 19:4-6
19:4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.
19:5 'Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
19:6 'And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

The functions of the two wings of a great eagle are as follows.

  1. Bringing us to be near God.
    It means as follows:

    • We live in serenity or righteousness. It means that we are saved or not condemned, so we do not perish.
      Psalm 62:1
      62:1 Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.

      Isaiah 32:17
      32:17 The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

      The process of sinful men's living in righteousness and not perishing is as follows.

      • Believing in Jesus.
      • Repenting or stopping sinning to return to God. It means being dead to sin.
      • Being baptized in the true water baptism.
        One who has repented must be buried in water with Jesus to rise with Him in a new life, namely the heavenly one in the anointing and fullness of Holy Spirit. We are saved and blessed by God.

    • We are sanctified.
      James 4:8
      4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

      What must be sanctified?
      The heart first must be sanctified from the lusts in it as follows.

      • Evil lust or the one of money which causes stinginess and greediness. We are sanctified, so we can return the possession of God, namely the tithes and offerings. We can give to God and others until we can feel more joyful to give than to receive.

      • Unclean lust.
      • Bitterness in heart, envy, and hatred without a cause.
      • Doubt or being double-minded.
        It is especially about spiritual food or the true teaching Word. Being doubtful, one is decreasing and sinking.
        Believing in the teaching Word or Jesus Himself, one must believe in His power. On the contrary, not believing in the teaching Word or Jesus Himself, one must not believe in His power.

      Then, the mouth must be sanctified from the idle words.
      Psalm 149:6
      149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,

      The deeds must also be sanctified until we can repay good for evil.

      If the heart, mouth, hands, and whole life are sanctified, we will draw near and attach to God.

      Exodus 19:4-6
      19:4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.
      19:5 'Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
      19:6 'And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

      Ephesians 4:11-12
      4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
      4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry,
      for the edifying of the body of Christ,

      After living in holiness, we will be equipped with the ministry and gifts of Holy Spirit. It means that we are appointed as the priests and kings to be used in the ministry for edifying the perfect body of Christ.

      1 Timothy 4:14
      4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

      The way God gives the ministry and gifts of Holy Spirit is through the preaching of the Word and the laying on of the hands of a pastor.

      Do not be negligent in ministering to God! We must keep faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God until the end line, namely until we die or Jesus comes a second time.

  2. To evacuate us to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the antichrist who rules over the world for three and a half years.
    Revelation 12:14
    12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

    Daniel 9:24,27
    9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy.
    9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate."

    Daniel prophesied the last days when the antichrist will come as follows.

    • The first three and a half years.
      There are three things which we will experience as follows.

      • 'To finish the transgression'.
      • 'To make an end of sins'.
      • 'To make reconciliation for iniquity'.


      It is the same as the redemption or the last sanctification for the church through the following two ways.

      • God reveals His Word abundantly or gives the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword doubly.
      • God lets us undergo the sprinkling of blood or the suffering in the flesh with Jesus to sanctify us from sins which we often do not realize, especially the self-truth.
        The self-truth means covering sin by blaming others and pretending to do good things.
        The righteous do not need to plead themselves. They keep silent more.

      Be careful! The time for the last sanctification is too short. Therefore, we must use this short time well to be sanctified by the sword of the Word. Where does it happen?

      • In the true sheepfold. We get the intensive sanctification continually.
      • In the inter-shepherding fellowship.
        Being only in the pen, one will be eaten by the pastor who is crueler than a wolf. In the fellowship, there is a deeper sanctification.

      We are sanctified continually until being as perfect as Jesus is.

    • The second three and a half years.
      The church is evacuated to the wilderness for three and a half years.

      The middle point between the first and the second three and a half years is in Revelation 12:1.
      Revelation 12:1,14
      12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
      12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

      The perfect church becomes the light of the world like Jesus, the Light of the World. There are no more sin, wickedness, fault, and evil. Satan cannot accuse us.

      The two wings of a great eagle are given to the perfect church to be evacuated to the wilderness, far away from the eyes of the serpent or the antichrist.
      At that time, the antichrist is ruling over the world for three and a half years and will behead the left servants or sons of God. It happens because they do not use the short time they have for being sanctified.

      Daniel 9:24
      9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy.

      What will we experience in the wilderness?

      • 'To bring in everlasting righteousness'
        It cannot be charged against by anything. Ones who are unjust will get God's revenge.
        Therefore, we must not be on men's side. We must only be on God's side or the one of the true teaching Word. As a result, we must be just.

      • 'To seal up vision and prophecy'
        It means to reveal the Word which has not been revealed yet.

      • 'To anoint the Most Holy'
        It means that we get the anointing of Holy Spirit with the seven manifestations as follows.
        Isaiah 11:1-3
        11:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
        11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
        11:3 His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;


        1. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the LORD. The proof is in the regularity
        2. The Spirit of wisdom.
        3. The Spirit of understanding.
        4. The Spirit of counsel.
        5. The Spirit of might.
        6. The Spirit of knowledge.
        7. The Spirit of the fear of the LORD.

          The facts found in the fear of the Lord are as follows.

          1. Hating sins up to lies. We can love God more than all things. We also love others and our enemy.
            Proverbs 8:13
            8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.

            Hating others means loving or hiding sins.

          2. Glorifying God with our riches and body.
            Revelation 14:7
            14:7 saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."

            We can serve and minister to God in faithfulness and fervency in spirit until the end line.
            We can also worship God. Our eyes look at Him and our hands are lifted up to Him. Our mouth cries the name of God. We surrender and cry out Him. As a result, He will also stretch out His hands to us

      • The facts found in worshiping God as the Creator are as follows.

        1. We confess that we are only the clay which is weak and not precious. We only deserve to be trampled. As a result, the hands of the Potter are stretched out to create us as the vessel of glory. We are used in the ministry for the edification of the body of Christ to glorify God.
          Romans 9:22-24
          9:22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
          9:23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on
          the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,
          9:24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?


          The vessel of glory is the same as the one of the mercy of God.
          We live in the hands of God's mercy which is great and never-ending.

          On the contrary, grieving God will make one become the vessel of wrath that will be destroyed forever.

        2. We confess that we are only the sheep for the slaughter which is weak and powerless. The distance between us and the death is only a step.
          Psalm 95:6
          95:6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

          Romans 8:35-37
          8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
          8:36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
          8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

          The hands of God are stretched to give extra power to us, so we are not separated from Him whatever we must face. We keep faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God until the end line. We feel peaceful and all things become easy and light.

        3. We confess that we are only a stem which has no more hope.
          Isaiah 43:15
          43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King."

          Isaiah 11:1
          11:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

          Luke 23:40-43
          23:40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
          23:41 "And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."
          23:42 Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
          23:43 And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

          Worshiping Jesus is the same as confessing sin. A criminal can be the priest and king. We get the atmosphere of paradise until we can welcome the second coming of Jesus on the glorious clouds, enter the paradise and the heavenly throne, and get the everlasting covering of God.

God blesses you.
