Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:15-19 is about the seventh trumpet sound or the last one.
Revelation 11:1511:15. Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
The seventh trumpet presents God's second coming in the glory of the King of kings to lift the perfect church of God up to the glorious clouds to enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb (spiritual marriage or the perfect one), the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace (upcoming Paradise), and the kingdom of heaven forever.
The proofs that Jesus will surely come a second time are as follows:
- God the Father had come to the world on Mount Sinai with lightnings and the sound of the trumpet.
Exodus 19:9,16,20
19:9. And the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I come to youin the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever." So Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
19:16. Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.
19:20. Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
At verse 9, God the Father promised to come to the world.
At verse 20, He fulfilled His promise.
God the Father came to the world by bringing two things as follows:
- Exodus 20-24, namely the two tablets of stone. It refers to the Law which contains the love of God the Father.
It can be divided as follows:
- The first tablet of the two tablets of stone that consists of the first up to the fourth Law refers to loving God more than anything because His jealousy is as cruel as the hell.
- The second tablet of the two tablets of stone that consists of the fifth up to the tenth Law refers to loving others as we love ourselves; even we can love our enemy (returning good for evil).
- Exodus 25-40, namely the Tabernacle, so God dwells in the midst of His people, the Israelites.
Exodus 25:8
25:8. "And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
Exodus 32:19
32:19. So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses' anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
The two tablets of stone must be broken to save the Israelites or God's people who have broken the Law, so they are not destroyed.
The two tablets of stone that are broken refer to Jesus, the Son of God as the love of God the Father. He comes to the world as the only innocent man. He knows no sin but love. He must willingly die on the cross to do the things as follows:
- Becoming the atonement offering, so He can reconcile sins and save the sinners so that they should not perish but have everlasting life.
1 John 4:8-10
4:8. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
4:9. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
4:10. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiationfor our sins.
- Fulfilling the Law, so He can destroy or renew the temple of God in the Law to become the spiritual one or the body of Christ, so the Gentiles can enter into it.
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.
Forty-six years refer to the four laws in the first tablet and the six laws in the second one. It is the same as the Law.
When God the Father would come to the world, He gave the preparation.
Exodus 19:10-15
19:10. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes.
19:11. "And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
19:12. "You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, 'Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
19:13. 'Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain."
19:14. So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
19:15. And he said to the people, "Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives."
Now, it is our preparation to greet the coming of God the Father to the world and Jesus, the Son of God when He comes a first time.
Our preparations are as follows:
- Verse 10: 'let them wash their clothes'. It means that we wash our clothes with the blood of Jesus by confessing all of sins that we have done, spoken, and thought to God and others.
As a result, the blood of Jesus forgives our sins. Do not sin anymore after being forgiven!
We repent and are set free from sin
1 Corinthians 5:7-8
5:7. Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
5:8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
If we repent and are set free from sin, we will live in sincerity and truth.
Sincerity means that we hold fast the true, pure, and holy teaching word up to the depth of our heart.
- Verse 12-13: 'You shall set bounds'. It means that we know the border. It is the same as a wise man.
We limit our deed, word, and company with sincerity and truth.
Exodus 19:13
19:13. 'Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain."
The consequences of breaking the border or not being in line with the true teaching word are as follows:
- Being stoned. It means the hard heart.
His conscience has died. He never feels guilty but always feels right and blames at God and others. It is the self-truth.
Watch carefully in the ministry and marriage!
- Being shot with an arrow. It means that one is hit by the fiery dart of the evil, namely temptation, problem, sins, et cetera.
- 'do not come near your wives'.
Exodus 19:14-15
19:14. So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
19:15. And he said to the people, "Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives."
It means as follows:
- Keeping the righteousness, holiness, and unity of the marriage.
The righteousness of the marriage means being according to the true teaching word.
- We must keep ourselves, so we do not sin up to the peak, namely the sins of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
- Do not give chance even once to hear the false teaching.
Revelation 14:4
14:4. These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
'women' refer to the Jezebel and Babylon teachings.
- The Jezebel teaching is the one that allows a woman to teach and have authority over a man.
A woman becomes the head over a man, so Christ cannot become the Head.
- The Babylon teaching is the one about prosperity and entertainment but without purification.
It is the same as placing wolf and bird as the head.
The Babylon teaching is also the one about unfaithfulness.
This is the preparation to greet the coming of God the Father that is linked with Jesus' first coming to the world.
Previously we were dog and swine (the den of thieves). But, if we as the Gentiles have the three preparations above, we will be able to enter into the spiritual temple of God or the body of Christ where God dwells together with us. We become the house of prayer, not the den of thieves, so our prayer is always answered by God. We always feel happy.
- Holy Spirit God has come to the world at the attic of Jerusalem with a rushing mighty wind like God the Father.
Acts 2:1-4
2:1. When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2:2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
2:3. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
2:4. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
God the Father fulfills His promise here.
Acts 1:4-5
1:4. And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;
1:5. "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
This is the promise of God the Father to pour out Holy Spirit.
Now, the preparations of greeting the coming of Holy Spirit God are as follows:
- We must stay in Jerusalem, the city of peace. It means that we keep our peaceful heart. There are no envy, hatred, fear, et cetera. We do not harm and make others stumble in the ministry, marriage, and all things.
Acts 1:4
1:4. And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;
- Perseverance in prayer. It cannot be separated from the three kinds of perseverance. Keep the heart to persevere in the sheepfold!
Acts 1:14
1:14. These all continuedwith one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
The perseverance in three kinds of main service to God are as follows:
- The Golden Candlestick refers to the perseverance in committing the General Service. We have fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His anointing and gifts.
- The Table of Showbread refers to the perseverance in committing the Bible Study Service with Holy Communion. We have fellowship with the Son of God in the teaching Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
- The Golden Altar of Incense refers to the perseverance in committing the Prayer Service. We have fellowship with Father God in His love.
The word and anointing of Holy Spirit help us to worship God. We become the house of prayer.
- 'continued with one accord in prayer' means that we keep our mouth. We do not gossip, slander, and lie but only pray and glorify God. It is the same as keeping the holy mouth.
The measurement of holiness is the holy mouth or saying yes if yes and no if no.
If we are holy, we will be equipped with the ministry.
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 saintsfor the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
For the Gentiles, being shepherded and trusted to have the ministry is only by God's mercy and trust.
- We must keep our ministry, so we do not become like Judas Iscariot. We keep God's mercy and trust.
Acts 1:24-25
1:24. And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen
1:25. "to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."
Do not let God's mercy and trust be taken by others and Satan! If we are replaced by others, we will have no place there anymore.
If we have the preparation above, Holy Spirit will be poured out to the Israelites and Gentiles.
Acts 10:44-45
10:44. While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.
10:45. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentilesalso.
Holy Spirit gives His gifts, namely the miraculous ability so we can minister to God according to the ministry that He gives. We are used in the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain or the building of the perfect body of Christ no matter our limitation and weakness are.
We keep being stirred by Holy Spirit, and it is never quenched. We are in one heart, one voice, and one way, and all become good up to our future.
Jeremiah 32:39
32:39. 'then I will give them one heartand one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of themand their children after them.
- The Son of God will surely come a second time in the glory of the King and Heavenly Bridegroom on the glorious clouds.
Revelation 11:15
11:15. Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
Revelation 19:6-7,9
19:6. And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
19:7. "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
19:9. Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!'"And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."
John 14:1-3
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.
14:3. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come againand receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
Jesus promises that He will come a second time and it is affirmed by the two angels.
Acts 1:10-11
1:10. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
1:11. who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so comein like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
Revelation 11:15 is the news.
Revelation 19:9 is the guarantee of certainty that Jesus will come a second time.
The atmosphere of Jesus' second coming is the same as the coming of God the Father and Holy Spirit God.
Matthew 24:27-32
24:27. "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
24:28. "For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
24:29. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
24:30. "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31. "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
24:32. "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
The preparation to greet the Son of God when He comes a second time is as follows:
- Seeing lightning.
- Seeing the fig tree.
So, we must keep our eye and attention to two things as follows:
- The lightningrefers to the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, namely the teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword and able to purify us up to perfection.
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.
Taking heed means that we hear the word earnestly until we obey it. Further, we testify about it or invite others.
2 Thessalonians 2:15
2:15. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
The physical lightning refers to the internet. We hear the Word by word, epistle, and internet earnestly until we obey it.
- The fig tree. It has already been in garden Eden.
In garden Eden, human became dishonest and unfaithful.
Taking heed to the fig tree means that we become gentle. It is the same as being honest and faithful.
We must be honest and faithful or say "Abba, Father!" because we will face Gethsemane.
Mark 14:36
14:36. And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
The atmosphere of Gethsemane is the suffering with Jesus because of temptation and problem, and the biggest one is about marriage and children until the massive murder when the Antichrist reigns over the world.
This is the process of burning. Face it by being honest and faithful! We love God more than anything. We also love others. We please God. We totally believe in Him.
Honesty and faithfulness are the same as well-done small cake that pleases God.
We face the shock to make us become the well-done small cake.
Hosea 7:8
7:8. "Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned.
'a cake unturned' is the same as being raw.
Do not run from the burning process! We must become gentle.
The burning process also results in the total tearing of flesh. There are no more lusts and wills of the flesh. We become the newborn babes.
Honesty and faithfulness are the same stretching out our hands to God, so the miracle happens. Nothing is impossible for God.
The examples are as follows:
- A widow of Zarephath.
1 Kings 17:11-13,15,17
17:11. And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand."
17:12. So she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
17:13. And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.
17:15. So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.
17:17. Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. And his sickness was so serious that there was no breath left in him.
A widow of Zarephath is the Gentile. She was honest and obedient, so she received God's protection and preservation miraculously in the midst of difficulties in the world. We will be evacuated to the wilderness when the Antichrist reigns over the world. We are taken care of by the word and Holy Communion.
At verse 17, the dead son was raised. It refers to the power of God's help.
The broken marriage will be restored. The thing that has been destroyed can be good.
- A father became honest and obedient, so his son was healed; even his job and family were helped.
John 4:46-53
4:46. So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
4:47. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
4:48. Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe."
4:49. The nobleman said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies!"
4:50. Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
4:51. And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, "Your son lives!"
4:52. Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
4:53. So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole household.
It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are changed to become as perfect as He is when the last trumpet sounds. We are worthy to greet His coming on the glorious clouds. We enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb, the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace (upcoming Paradise), and the New Jerusalem forever.
God blesses us.
