Peace and grace in the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:20b
28:20 ... and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
God is with us always, even to the end of the age. It means that he is with us from now on in this world which is full of curses, so that we can feel that all things are easy and light. It continues until the time when the antichrist reigns over the world, Jesus comes a second time on glorious clouds, and we sit together with Him on the throne of New Jerusalem forever.
Revelation 3:21
3:21 "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Who may get the accompaniment of God to sit together with Him on the throne of heaven? They are those who overcome together with Jesus.
Revelation 17:14
17:14 "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful."
The requirement of overcoming together with Jesus is being called, chosen, and faithful. It refers to the Court, the Holy Place, and the Most Holy Place of tabernacle.
1 Peter 2:9
2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Being called means we go out of the darkness to God’s marvelous light. It means we are delivered from sins to live in righteousness or get salvation. It refers to the Court of tabernacle.
Being chosen means we are shepherded and sanctified to become priests and kings. It refers to the Holy Place.
Thus, the requirement to overcome together with Jesus is to become the priests and kings who serve and minister to God faithfully in the Holy Place until the end, namely we die or Jesus comes a second time.
2 Corinthians 11:2-4
11:2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
11:4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted––you may well put up with it!
The core of faithfulness is the real faithfulness or simplicity that is in Christ. It is
the faithfulness to the true teaching Word that will determine the faithfulness in marriage, ministry, and all aspects of life. Moreover, it will determine whether we can be made perfect or not.
The faithfulness without the true teaching Word is faked and it cannot reach perfection.
Formerly, Eve was deceived by serpent in Garden Eden, so she lost the simplicity that is in Christ. She added and eliminated the true teaching Word. Consequently, she rejected the true teaching Word and ate the forbidden fruit. Finally, she was driven out of Eden to enter the world which was full of curses, sorrows, heavy burdens, tears, bitterness of heart, distress, et cetera.
Now, we are in engagement time. It means only one step ahead we will reach the marriage supper of the Lamb. Unfortunately, there are sons or servants of God who are deceived by Satan, so they lose the simplicity that is in Christ. The sign is when they well put up with the false teaching.
1 Timothy 4:1
4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
To well put up with it means that there is no Holy Spirit, so there is no firmness to reject the voice of serpent or false teaching. In such condition one considers all teachings are same and follows the doctrines of demons. Consequently, he cannot return to paradise, but lives in the ambience of curses and perishes forever.
There are three things that deceive the sons or servants of God in the last days as follows.
- Different gospel.
2 Corinthians 11:4
11:4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesuswhom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spiritwhich you have not received, or a different gospelwhich you have not accepted––you may well put up with it!
The true gospel means the whole gospel or the eternal one. It consists of two things as follows.
- Gospel of salvation, gospel word, milk, or Good Tiding.
Ephesians 1:13
1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Proverbs 25:25
25:25 As cold water to a weary soul, So is good newsfrom a far country.
It is the gospel that preaches about Jesus’ first coming in the world to die on the cross and save the sinners.
The process is as follows.
- We have faith to Jesus through hearing the Word of Christ. It refers to the Gate of Tabernacle.
Romans 10:17
10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
- We repent or stop sinning to return to God. It refers to the Altar of Burnt Offering.
1 Corinthians 5:11
5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner––not even to eat with such a person.
We must die to sin, especially the six sins that have been ingrained or ruled over the body, soul, and spirit.
- We are baptized of water and Holy Spirit. It refers to the Brazen Laver and the Door of Tabernacle.
John 3:3-5
3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
3:4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?"
3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
As a result, we get new life, namely righteous life which equals to salvation.
Thus, the gospel Word brings the sinner to enter the Court of Tabernacle.
- The light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, teaching Word, solid food, or Bride Tiding.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
4:3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4:4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
It is the gospel that preaches about Jesus’ second coming in glory as the King of all kings and Heavenly Bridegroom to sanctify and perfect the people who have been saved.
The Bride Tiding brings the people who have been saved to enter the Holy Place or the sheepfold and the Most Holy Place or perfection.
After being saved and delivered from the six sins ruling over the body, soul, and spirit, we will easily give our body, soul, and spirit to do three main services to God in the shepherding until we can reach the perfection.
Galatians 1:6-7
1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
1:7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
The different gospel perverts the true one. It begins from the Court, the Holy Place, up to the Most Holy Place of tabernacle. The manifestation of the different gospel is as follows.
- The Court.
- The teaching about faith by sight.
- Salvation is permanent, so there is no need of repentance.
- Baptism that is different from the baptism of Jesus.
- Many other spirits and tongues that are taught to others.
It means to build a house on the sand or there is no foundation, so the house will fall.
- The Holy Place.
That is the teaching that resists the shepherding system, so the pastor is not inside the sheepfold always and the congregation is scattered.
Actually, the perseverance in doing three main services to God protects us from the three times of the condemnation of the trinity of God.
- The Most Holy Place.
That is the teaching that allows one to make remarriage, mix marriage, up to marrying-being given in marriage or the marriage of blasphemy. The human marriage is hit, so that it cannot reach the marriage supper of the Lamb of God.
Romans 16:17
16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
To face other teachings, we must avoid them. One who teaches the other doctrines causes divisions and offenses. One who supports the other doctrines will also cause divisions and offenses. If now we are able to avoid the false doctrines, we will be able to flee from the antichrist.
- Another Jesus.
That is Jesus without the cross. If the gospel is different, there will be another Jesus because Jesus and the teaching are one.
1 Peter 4:1
4:1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the fleshhas ceased from sin,
The cross means the suffering in the flesh. It is the armor to defeat the sins. It happens through fasting prayer or night prayer.
To receive another Jesus means to reject Jesus and keep or agree with sins as well as dare blame the righteous one.
The practice of rejecting the cross is as follows.
- Cancer in mouth.
2 Timothy 2:16-18
2:16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
2:17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,
2:18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.
It means as follows.
- Vain words or unholy ones and slander that cause bitterness in heart until one cannot consume the true teaching Word.
Consequently, the faith is weak and corrupted, even dead to perish.
- Contention and debate about the Word of God because the Word is made as knowledge, so there is deception from faith, and consequently such person is strayed and lost.
1 Timothy 6:20-21
6:20 O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge––
6:21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
The true teaching is the revelation of God or the secret of His Word through a verse that explains other verses. The result is a perfect holy firm faith.
- The belly becomes god.
Philippians 3:17-19
3:17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.
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.
It means one serves and ministers to God only to seek for physical thingssuch as money, good position in office, marriage partner, friends, members of family, et cetera.
In addition, it means one leaves the service and ministry because of seeking for worldly things. He may get the things, but there is no meaning because of being conquered by death. Judas Iscariot pursues the worldly things and consequently his entrails gush out and he perishes with his sins.
The true service is to seek for Jesus who has been crucified. It means the suffering to the flesh to seek the true teaching Word that is able to show us our sins. We can be justified, sanctified, and perfected.
- Different spirit.
1 John 4:1-3
4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
The different spirit means the spirit of the antichrist or the spirit that does not confess that Jesus has come in the flesh.
The true spirit is Holy Spirit to confess that Jesus was born as human in the flesh. It means as follows.
- Jesus as Saviorwho delivers us from the flesh and sin.
If we confess Jesus as the Savior,we must be delivered from the sins.
- Jesus as High Priest.
If we have Holy Spirit and confess that Jesus is the High Priest, we will serve and minister to God as priests and kings faithfully and fervently in spirit.
- Jesus as Heavenly Bridegroom.
If we have Holy Spirit, we must be willing to be sanctified until we are perfect as His bride.
Ephesians 5:31-32
5:31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
5:32This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
The relationship between Jesus as the Heavenly Bridegroom and the congregation as the Bride is in spiritual marriage, namely one glorious flesh. It happens through these two things.
- Worship prayer.
Jesus is the Head and the congregation is His body. The closest relationship is in the worship prayer. Holy Spirit encourages us to keen on worshiping God. On the contrary, the spirit of the antichrist does not want to worship God. We must increase our worship prayer on these last days until our flesh does not speak anymore.
Proverbs 3:3
3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,
If we keen on worshiping God, He will bind our neck with His mercy or lovingkindness. Nothing may separate us from it.
- Holy Communion.
John 6:56
6:56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
The requirement to consume it is to examine our life with the sharpness of the sword of God’s Word. We must confess our sin and not do that anymore after being forgiven. As a result, we get God’s lovingkindness.
The function of the lovingkindness of God is as follows.
- To preserve us as the apple of His eye.
Psalm 17:7-8
17:7 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You From those who rise up against them.
17:8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,
It means that we are preserved and protected physically in the midst of many difficulties in the world. A grain of sand cannot enter the apple of eye. Spiritually, the lovingkindness of God preserves and protects us, so that we can live in righteousness and holiness, and be faithful and fervent in spirit doing our service and ministry to God until the end. God’s lovingkindness also preserves us when the antichrist reigns over the world for three years and six months.
- To make us successful in all things although our strength is limited.
Genesis 39:21-23
39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing.
39:23 The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's authority, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.
- To do great wonder alone.
Psalm 136:1-4
136:1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
136:2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever.
136:3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever:
136:4 To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever;
Jesus alone cries “It is finished” on the cross because He is able to do great wonder by Himself. Physically, He is able to solve all impossible problems. Spiritually, He is able to change our body, soul, and spirit until we are perfect as He is and ready to welcome His second coming on glorious clouds. We sit together with Him on His throne forever.
God blesses you.
