Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:15-19is about the sound of the seventh or last trumpet.
The seventh trumpet shows the following three things:
ad. 2.
Revelation 11:18
11:18. The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should rewardYour servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
The seventh trumpet shows the judgment of God to the world and the people who deserve to get it, namely the three times seven judgments, the doomsday, and the everlasting hell.
Nevertheless, God also gives rewards for those who deserve to get it.
Thus, the seventh trumpet shows Jesus as the just Judge.
Who deserves to get the reward from God?
ad. 4.
From age to age until now, there are the people who fear the Lord as follows:
Thus, the servants of God who feared Him have the faith and the work (the curtains of Tabernacle), the hope and the work (the curtains of goats' hair), and the love and the work (the covering of ram skins dyed red).
After having the three kinds of coverings, God must give the fourth, namely the covering of badger skin or the one of judgment. It will restrain the wind, storm, heat, cold, and so on.
Exodus 26:1-14
26:1. "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim you shall weave them.
26:2 "The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. And every one of the curtains shall have the same measurements.
26:3 "Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.
26:4 "And you shall make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set, and likewise you shall do on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set.
26:5 "Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is on the end of the second set, that the loops may be clasped to one another.
26:6 "And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, so that it may be one tabernacle.
26:7 " You shall also make curtains of goats' hair, to be a tent over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.
26:8 "The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measurements.
26:9 "And you shall couple five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent.
26:10 "You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set.
26:11 "And you shall make fifty bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
26:12 "The remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
26:13 "And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and on that side, to cover it.
26:14 "You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.
Verse 1-6= the curtains of Tabernacle.
Verse 7-13= the curtains of goats' hair.
Verse14a= the covering of ram skins dyed red.
Verse 14b= the covering of badger skins or the one of judgment.
What is the function of the covering of judgment? It is for protecting us from the judgment of God over the world.
Genesis 6:7-8
6:7. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."
6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
For example, Noah got the covering of judgment as well as found grace in the eyes of the Lord. It means that He pays attention to the deepest part of our heart, cares, and struggles for us who have had the three kinds of coverings.
The grace of God cannot be measured by anything. Being outside the grace, one will be destroyed by the hell forever.
The results are as follows:
God blesses you.
Revelation 11:15-19is about the sound of the seventh or last trumpet.
The seventh trumpet shows the following three things:
- Verse 15-17 = Jesus, who will come a second time on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King of all kings and the Heavenly Bridegroom for establishing the heavenly kingdom in the world, namely the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace or the future Paradise and the New Jerusalem forever (it has been explained from General Service in Malang, July 5, 2020to General Service in Malang, August 2, 2020).
- Verse 18 = God's wrath over the world (it has been explained in Bible Study Service in Malang, August 4, 2020).
- Verse 19 = the Ark of the Covenant, the perfect church, or the heavenly bride.
ad. 2.
Revelation 11:18
11:18. The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should rewardYour servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
The seventh trumpet shows the judgment of God to the world and the people who deserve to get it, namely the three times seven judgments, the doomsday, and the everlasting hell.
Nevertheless, God also gives rewards for those who deserve to get it.
Thus, the seventh trumpet shows Jesus as the just Judge.
Who deserves to get the reward from God?
- 'Your servants' = God' servants (it has been explained from Bible Study Service in Malang, August 11, 2020to Prayer Service in Malang, August 13, 2020).
- 'the prophets' = ones who hear and obey the true teaching Word (it is explained in General Service in Malang, August 16, 2020).
- 'the saints' = becoming the holy people (it is explained from Bible Study Service in Malang, August 18, 2020to General Service in Malang, August 23, 2020).
- 'those who fear Your name' = the people who fear the Lord.
ad. 4.
From age to age until now, there are the people who fear the Lord as follows:
- The age of Father God or the beginning of age. It was counted from Adam to Abraham, for about two thousand years. The representative is Abraham.
Genesis 22:10-14
22:10. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
22:11 But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" So he said, "Here I am."
22:12 And He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."
22:13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
22:14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of The LORD it shall be provided."
Abraham feared the Lord. It means living by faith and the work. In the Tabernacle, it refers to the covering of Tabernacle. Faith and the work are written in the book of James.
The facts found in the faith and the work are as follows:- Doing the will of God or being obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore.
- Willingly sacrificing or giving all things which God asks according to His will or the encouragement of the Word for the edification of the body of Christ.
Genesis 22:2
22:2. Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."
2 Chronicles 3:1
3:1. Now Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
On Mount Moriah, Abraham offered Isaac, David offered the sacrifice, and Solomon built the house of the Lord. Now, it means the edification of the body of Christ.
On the days of David, the Gentiles also got the part (Ornan belonged to the Gentiles).
Thus, all things must be sacrificed for the ministry of the edification of the perfect body of Christ. It begins from the marriage. We must sacrifice our time, energy, feeling, mind, money, and so on, except the true teaching Word.
Why? The edification of the perfect body of Christ begins from the marriage. Without the true teaching Word, the foxes and birds or the spirit of evil and uncleanness will be the head of the marriage that aims at the edification of the body of Babylon or the bride of Satan who is perfect in evil and uncleanness for being destroyed forever.
Therefore, do not doubt for sacrificing all things by the encouragement of the true teaching Word for the edification of the perfect body of Christ because we meet Jehovah Jireh. Jesus has died on the Place of Skull. He is responsible for providing all things we need in the world up to the eternal life in heaven.
Romans 8:32
8:32.He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
John 14:1-2
14:1. "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 14:2 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
- Doing the will of God or being obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore.
- The age of the Son of God or the middle one. It was counted from Abraham to Jesus' first coming, for about two thousand years. The representative was Job.
Job 1:1
1:1. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared Godand shunned evil.
Job feared the lord. It means living in the hope and the work, namely the holiness. In the Tabernacle, it refers to the covering of goats' hair.
It is explained in the epistle of Peter.
The facts found in living in the hope and the work are as follows:- Shunning evil, hating sins, or living in righteousness, holiness, and honesty.
- Being godly or faithful in doing the service and ministry to God.
Job 29:4
29:4. Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob dwelt in the tents. Job also lived in the tent.
The tent refers to the sheepfold and our own house (having the close relationship with the Trinity of God and parents).
Not being joyful at home is one of the signs of not being shepherded.
Job had a close relationship with God in the tent since he was a youth.
The youth refers to the time when the flesh with all of its lusts, wills, and characteristics is so powerful and encourages men to commit sins up to the peak, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse as well as the ones concerning marrying-being given in marriage.
Such sins do not attack the youth physically only, but also the old people whose flesh is so strong.
Therefore, we must have a close relationship with God in the sheepfold through the perseverance in doing the three main services to God as follows:- The Golden Candlestick or the perseverance in doing the General Service to get the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the anointing and gifts.
- The Table of Showbread or the perseverance in doing the Bible Study Service and Holy Communion to get the fellowship with the Son of God in the teaching Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
- The Golden Altar of Incense or the perseverance in doing the Prayer Service to get the fellowship with Father God in His love up to the eternal life.
We cannot be touched by the trinity of Satan, so we cannot be made fall in sins or deceived. We keep on living in holiness and there is a hope to bud, bloom, and yield fruits up to the highest one, namely the bride. - The Golden Candlestick or the perseverance in doing the General Service to get the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the anointing and gifts.
Job 1:2-3
1:2. And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
1:3 Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.
Nevertheless, God let Job experience the total test or the sprinkling of blood. Why?- For facing the accusation of Satan.
Job 1:9
1:9.So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
He accused that Job had the fear of the Lord only because of the physical blessings.
Prove that we keep on having the fear of the Lord when we are facing the test. - For facing the accusation of other people.
Job 4:1-6
4:1. Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
4:2 "If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
4:3 Surely you have instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands.
4:4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees;
4:5 But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; It touches you, and you are troubled.
4:6 Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?
Prove to other people that we have the fear of the Lord not because of the physical blessings. - For the last sanctification from God.
Job 32:1-2
32:1. So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
32:2 Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he justified himself rather than God.
Job 42:5-6
42:5. "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You.
42:6 Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes."
Job got the sanctification from the sins which often were not realized, namely the self-truth, egoism, murmuring, and quarrel.
The self-truth means blaming at others and the true teaching Word.
Job was sanctified until he sat on the dust. It means confessing as the clay that is not worthy and unable, but only lives by the grace of God.
The result is the double restoration, namely in the physical and spiritual life.
- Shunning evil, hating sins, or living in righteousness, holiness, and honesty.
- The age of Holy Spirit God or the last one. It was counted from Jesus' first coming to the second one, for about two thousand years. The representative was Cornelius, who belonged to the Gentiles. This is the opening of the door for the Gentiles.
Acts 10:1-4
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 Godwith all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.
10:3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, "Cornelius!"
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.
Cornelius feared the lord. It means loving others as we love ourselves until we can love our enemy (giving alms) and loving God more than anything (being holy and faithfully serving to God until enjoying in the worship to Him). In the Tabernacle, it refers to the covering of ram skins dyed red. It is explained in the gospel according to John, and the first, second, and third epistle of John.
Giving alms and worshiping God are the same as lifting up the fragrance before God. Cornelius always remembered God and other people. It means remembering the cross or the sacrifice of Christ, only stretching out the hands to God, and fully surrendering to Him. God also remembered Cornelius. He pays attention to, cares, and struggles for us until our family can also be saved and perfected.
Thus, the servants of God who feared Him have the faith and the work (the curtains of Tabernacle), the hope and the work (the curtains of goats' hair), and the love and the work (the covering of ram skins dyed red).
After having the three kinds of coverings, God must give the fourth, namely the covering of badger skin or the one of judgment. It will restrain the wind, storm, heat, cold, and so on.
Exodus 26:1-14
26:1. "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim you shall weave them.
26:2 "The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. And every one of the curtains shall have the same measurements.
26:3 "Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.
26:4 "And you shall make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set, and likewise you shall do on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set.
26:5 "Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is on the end of the second set, that the loops may be clasped to one another.
26:6 "And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, so that it may be one tabernacle.
26:7 " You shall also make curtains of goats' hair, to be a tent over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.
26:8 "The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measurements.
26:9 "And you shall couple five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent.
26:10 "You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set.
26:11 "And you shall make fifty bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
26:12 "The remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
26:13 "And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and on that side, to cover it.
26:14 "You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.
Verse 1-6= the curtains of Tabernacle.
Verse 7-13= the curtains of goats' hair.
Verse14a= the covering of ram skins dyed red.
Verse 14b= the covering of badger skins or the one of judgment.
What is the function of the covering of judgment? It is for protecting us from the judgment of God over the world.
Genesis 6:7-8
6:7. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."
6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
For example, Noah got the covering of judgment as well as found grace in the eyes of the Lord. It means that He pays attention to the deepest part of our heart, cares, and struggles for us who have had the three kinds of coverings.
The grace of God cannot be measured by anything. Being outside the grace, one will be destroyed by the hell forever.
The results are as follows:
- The beginning of age. The merciful hands of God are able to preserve us physically in the midst of the difficulties in the world like in the midst of the flood until the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world. It has been experienced by Noah.
Maybe you are in difficulties now. Keep the faith, hope, and love until our eyes only look at God and we find grace in His eyes.
The merciful hands of God also protect us spiritually from sins up to the peak. We keep on living in righteousness and holiness. We are protected from the false teachings, so we keep on holding fast the true teaching Word. We are protected from the wrong marriage, so our marriage can be in unity, righteousness, and joy. We are also protected from the judgment of God, so we can get the eternal life. - The middle age. The merciful hands of God are able to make all things successful and beautiful in His time although we are so limited and in the failure.
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.
39:23 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.
God also erases the impossibility.
Mark 5:21-23,25-28,37,41-43
5:21. Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.
5:22 And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet
5:23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live."
5:25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,
5:26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.
5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.
5:28 For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."
5:37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
5:41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."
5:42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.
5:43 But He commanded them strictly that no one should know it, and said that something should be given her to eat.
Verse 21-23 = the husband had the problem.
Verse 25 = the wife has the problem.
Verse 37 = a young man also has the problem, namely the disease up to death.
''Peter, James, and John' = There are faith, hope, and love. There is Jesus also.
Not being willing to eat the Word is a big problem. - The last age. The merciful hands of God are able to prepare the bride who is ready for welcoming Jesus' coming on the glorious clouds.
Revelation 22:20-21
22:20. He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
God blesses you.
