Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 10:1-3
10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
10:2. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
10:3. and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.
It is about the appearances of Jesus with the seven lights of glory.
ad. 7. Crying with a loud voice, as when a lion roars.
Revelation 10:3
10:3. and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.
The voice when a lion roars is the same as the one of seven thunders. It is a loud voice that refers to the hard teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
2 Timothy 4:2
4:2. Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
The hard teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword has three contents as follows:
Preaching the hard teaching word must be with patience. It means as follows:
ad. 2. Rebuking
It is the preaching of the hard teaching word to stop the sins up to the peak that have been confessed and forgiven.
What must be rebuked?
ad. 3. Exhorting.
Psalm 73:24
73:24. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
Exhorting is the guidance of the hands of the Lord for all of us to go to three places as follows:
God blesses us.
Revelation 10:1-3
10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
10:2. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

Revelation 10:3
10:3. and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.
The voice when a lion roars is the same as the one of seven thunders. It is a loud voice that refers to the hard teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
2 Timothy 4:2
4:2. Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
The hard teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword has three contents as follows:
- Convincing. It means that the word shows the hidden sins up to the peak in the congregation, so they realize, regret, and confess the sins to God and others, and they experience the remission of sins. They are not punished and destroyed, but blessed by God.
- Rebuking.
- Exhorting.
Preaching the hard teaching word must be with patience. It means as follows:
- One must not follow his emotion or lust, but be with the anointing of Holy Spirit.
- The word is repeated with patience until it results in righteousness, holiness, and perfection.
ad. 2. Rebuking
It is the preaching of the hard teaching word to stop the sins up to the peak that have been confessed and forgiven.
What must be rebuked?
- One who sins up to the peak but he does not want to repent.
Matthew 18:15
18:15. "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. - One who is unruly, disobedient, and unable to be controlled as well as following his own will and lust.
1 Thessalonians 5:14
5:14. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.
If we obey the word, our life will start to be in order, regular, and well-organized.
The teaching word is able to defend the weak man. It means that the word strengthens us, so we do not stumble and fall into sins up to the peak.
Titus 1:13-14
1:13. This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
1:14. not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. - The spiritual lukewarmness.
Revelation 3:15-16,19
3:15. "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
3:16. "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
3:19. "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
Not being cold means that one does not experience peace. He keeps sinning because he does not want to die with Jesus.
Not being hot means that one does not want to rise up with Jesus, live in righteousness, nor become faithful.
Being neither cold nor hot means being neither dead nor raised or one does not want to change. He keeps becoming flesh and blood men who are marked with 666.
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.
ad. 3. Exhorting.
Psalm 73:24
73:24. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
Exhorting is the guidance of the hands of the Lord for all of us to go to three places as follows:
- Entering the sheepfold through the narrow door.
John 10:1-4
10:1. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
10:2. "But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3. "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
10:4. "And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
In the Tabernacle, the sheepfold refers to the Holy Place. There are three tools inside it that refers to the three kinds of main service to God as follows:- The Golden Candlestick refers to perseverance in committing the General Service.
- The Table of Showbread refers to perseverance in committing
the Bible Study Service with Holy Communion. - The Golden Altar of Incense refers to perseverance in committing the Prayer Service.
23:1. <<A Psalm of David.>> The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:2. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
23:3. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
We receive three things in the sheepfold as follows:- "I shall not want" = "He makes me to lie down in green pastures"
God takes care of our life abundantly, so we always give thanks to Him.
Lying down refers to heavenly bliss or satisfaction. - "He leads me beside the still waters" = living in the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we experience peace.
Peace means that we do not worry or get afraid because we have totally surrendered to God.
The peace also means that there are no more sins up to the peak because we have been reconciled by the blood of Jesus.
Matthew 5:23-25
5:23. "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
5:24. "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
5:25. "Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
The process of making peace is that we are reconciled with God. We honestly and earnestly confess our sin by the encouragement of the Word that shows our sin.
We must also be reconciled with other. We can realize, regret, and confess our sin to others by the encouragement of the Word. Do not sin anymore after being forgiven!
If we are reconciled soon, we will receive the wings of Holy Spirit to fight against the ones of Antichrist or the ones of abomination.
Daniel 9:27
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." - "He leads me in the paths of righteousness" means that we live according to the true teaching word.
James 1:19
1:19. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
The process is through being swift to hear the word of God.
Hebrews 5:11-14
5:11. of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
5:12. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
5:13. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
5:14. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
It means as follows:- Hearing the word earnestly and with spiritual maturity.
- Do not hear only the Gospel Word, but we must also hear the true and hard teaching word.
We may get angry, but without emotion, and we may not quarrel.
We may get angry with love to help others.
We are also slow to speak. It is the same as keeping silent.
Further, we can practice the word, so we can live in righteousness and holiness.
As a result, we receive the wings of the true teaching word.
If it is combined, the wings of Holy Spirit and the true teaching word are the two wings of a great eagle by which we may fly to the wilderness, far from the eyes of antichrist. - Hearing the word earnestly and with spiritual maturity.
- The Golden Candlestick refers to perseverance in committing the General Service.
- Going to other fold.
John 10:3,16
10:3. "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
10:16. "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
Exhorting means the hands of Chief Shepherd who lead us to other fold, so we become one flock with one shepherd or one body with one Head.
We are guided to enter the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain or the one of the building of the body of Christ. It starts from marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding until the Israelites and Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ.
The terms are as follows:- We must have the base, namely Christ's sacrifice on the cross. It means that we must willingly sacrifice.
John 2:19-21
2:19. Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20. Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
2:21. But He was speaking of the temple of His body. - We must become faithful and true.
Revelation 19:11
19:11. Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
Numbers 32:14
32:14. "And look! You have risen in your father's place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the LORD against Israel.
- We must have the base, namely Christ's sacrifice on the cross. It means that we must willingly sacrifice.
- Leading to living fountains of waters.
Revelation 7:17
7:17. "for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Revelation 21:4
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."
We are guided to the New Jerusalem as the last sheepfold where there are no more tears.
The proof is experiencing the renewal of life from fleshly men to spiritual ones like Jesus.
Revelation 21:1
21:1. Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
The proof of experiencing the renewal of life to go to the New Jerusalem is there is no more sea.
James 1:6-7
1:6. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
1:7. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
The sea refers to the doubtful heart.
It must be changed into totally trusting and committing ourselves to God.
There is no more death in the New Jerusalem.
Isaiah 28:15
28:15. Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves."
It means that there is no lie. We are renewed to become honest and trust God. Say yes if yes and no if no.
As a result, the miracle will happen.
The position of one who is honest and trusts God is like John the apostle who leans on Jesus' breast.
John 13:23
13:23. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John 21:20-23
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."
21:23. Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?"
If we lean on Jesus' breast, our life and death will become God's business. We just stretch out our hands to God and He will stretch out His merciful hands that never change forever.
2 Chronicles 14:9-11
14:9. Then Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
14:10. So Asa went out against him, and they set the troops in battle array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
14:11. And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, "LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!"
The hand of God's strong mercy will fight for us. All impossible problems will be finished. God is able to do anything that we cannot do.
Proverbs 3:26
3:26. For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.
If we lean on God, He will keep us from sins up to the peak. We are purified and changed continuously up to obedience.
It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are changed to become as perfect as He is. We are worthy to greet His coming on the glorious clouds.
God blesses us.
