Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:7-12
11:7. When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
11:9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
11:10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
11:11 Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
11:12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
Verse 7-10: the two witnesses were killed.
Verse 11: they stood on their feet.
Verse 12: they ascended to heaven.
Towards the second coming of Jesus in the glory, the church must be the witness of God, not denying Him. Being the witness is the same as shining in the midst of the dark world.
Why? The testimony is the main characteristic of the Pentecostal Church which is anointed and filled up by Holy Spirit. It has started from the church at the first rain and now it is increasing in the church of the latter rain.
Acts 1:8
1:8. "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Mein Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Therefore, God pours out the power of Holy Spirit to us, so we can be the true witness of God.
Be alert! There are true witnesses as well as the false ones, namely the Antichrist. Do not be deceived!
The true witnesses are signified by the three things like the two witnesses as follows:
The two witnesses are true like Jesus. The proof is that the death experience was true and seen by many people.
Rejecting the death, resurrection, and glory experience with Jesus, one will be the false witness as well as the Antichrist who will be destroyed forever.
Jesus, the true and perfect witness, has the true death, resurrection, and glory experience.
His witness ends perfectly by saying "It is finished!"
He said "It is finished!" three times as follows:
Zechariah 12:10-12
12:10. "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
12:11 "In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
12:12 "And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Our struggle now is seeing the side of Jesus which has been pierced. It means repenting and being baptized of water. We live in righteousness and all things become easy and light.
We struggle personally and with our family that we can be the sincere baby. Our life starts to be comfortable and joyful. Then, we must continue with being shepherded well and correctly. We are sanctified and changed by the Bride Tidings which is preached repetitively until we can yield the fruits of the Spirit and the flesh does not speak anymore. We are used as the priests to serve to God in the edification of the perfect body of Christ. We become the house of prayer and worship God much more until we are evacuated to the wilderness and lifted up when Jesus comes a second time. All things have been new and we only wait for the One-Thousand-Years Kingdom of Peace and enter the heavenly kingdom.
Don't be hard-hearted in sins, but mourn because of sins!
Our struggle is being like a baby. God will pay attention to us. He struggles for the babies.
Isaiah 49:15-16
49:15. "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.
49:16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.
1 Corinthians 2:9
2:9. But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man' means becoming a baby.
All things are provided by God.
God blesses you.
Revelation 11:7-12
11:7. When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
11:9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.

Therefore, God pours out the power of Holy Spirit to us, so we can be the true witness of God.
Be alert! There are true witnesses as well as the false ones, namely the Antichrist. Do not be deceived!
The true witnesses are signified by the three things like the two witnesses as follows:
- The death experience with Jesus (the two witnesses are killed).
Revelation 11:7-10
11:7. When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
11:9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
11:10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
This is the true death experience. The false one is like the Antichrist whose severe wound is healed. - The resurrection experience with Jesus or the true one.
Revelation 11:11
11:11. Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stoodon their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. - The glory experience with Jesus or the true one.
Revelation 11:12
11:12. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heavenin a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
The two witnesses are true like Jesus. The proof is that the death experience was true and seen by many people.
Rejecting the death, resurrection, and glory experience with Jesus, one will be the false witness as well as the Antichrist who will be destroyed forever.
Jesus, the true and perfect witness, has the true death, resurrection, and glory experience.
His witness ends perfectly by saying "It is finished!"
He said "It is finished!" three times as follows:
- In the death experience.
John 19:30
19:30. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Jesus' testimony is as the peace offering or atonement.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18
5:17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
5:18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himselfthrough Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
He willingly dies on the cross as the peace offering for the following things:- Finishing sins and saving the sinners.
- Reconciling the sinners.
- Renewing the sinners.
One is still the man of blood and flesh when he has not been renewed yet.
How can the sacrifice of Christ reconcile and renew the sinful men?
John 19:31-34
19:31. Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
19:32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and watercame out.
Jesus has died with four main wounds (two on hands and two on feet) for saving, reconciling, and renewing the Israelites from the sins, especially the transgression to the Law. This is God's love to them. How about the Gentiles? After Jesus died, His side was pierced by a spear, so blood and water came out for saving, reconciling, and renewing the sinful Gentiles. This is His mercy for the Gentiles.
The blood and water came out of the fifth wound of Jesus.
Thus, the beginning of the reconciliation and renewal to the sinful men is through the blood and water which come out of Jesus' side as follows:- The blood (the Altar of Burnt Offerings) means believing Jesus and repenting, stopping sinning and returning to God, or being dead to the sins of the Gentiles whose characteristics are like the dog and swine.
- The dog refers to the meaningless words, gossips, slanders, and lies.
- The swine refers to the sinful deeds up to the peak, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse) and the ones concerning marrying-being given in marriage (fornication, wrong marriage, mix marriage, divorce-remarrying, and marrying-being given in marriage).
- The anxiety must be changed into believing God.
- The dog refers to the meaningless words, gossips, slanders, and lies.
- The water (the Brazen Laver) refers to the true water baptism according to the Bible. We are baptized like Jesus is.
The true water baptism means that one who has believed in Jesus and repented or died to sin must be buried in water with Jesus and raised from the water with Him to get the new or heavenly life, namely the life in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Romans 6:4
6:4. Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Matthew 3:16
3:16. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a doveand alighting upon Him.
The new or heavenly life means entering the Court of Tabernacle or the court of the heavenly kingdom, namely having the sincere heart like a dove or a baby.
The sincere heart is able to discern firmly between the false and true things, the good and bad thing, especially the true food/teaching Word and the false one.
Being able to do that, we must be able to discern between the true consecration or worship and the false ones. Moreover, we can firmly discern between all true things and the false ones, so we can live in righteousness.
Living in the righteousness is the same as living by faith, not committing sins to God and others, or not harming others.
The results are as follows:- Being blessed up to the descendants and being blessings for others. The sincere heart is the strong foundation.
- Peace and joy. All things become easy and light.
The baby is in God's embrace.
Having the anxiety, one cannot be joyful although he is wealthy. Nevertheless, we can be joyful no matter we are wealthy or not when we have the peaceful heart.
- Finishing sins and saving the sinners.
- In the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:5-6
21:5.Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
21:6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
It refers to the death and resurrection experience of Jesus.
Jesus arises and ascends to heaven in the glory. He is glorified to renew us until we can be as perfect and glorious as He is, so we are worthy to enter the New Jerusalem.
How can Jesus renew us up to the perfection by His resurrection and glory?
John 19:36
19:36. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken."
He has died on the cross, so not one of His bones is broken.
It means being complete or perfect.
Revelation 21:5-6
21:5. Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold,I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
21:6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
The bone refers to the power of resurrection and the Holy Place.
2 Kings 13:21
13:21. So it was, as they were burying a man, that suddenly they spied a band of raiders; and they put the man in the tomb of Elisha; and when the man was let down and touched the bones of Elisha, he revivedand stood on his feet.
Where can we get the power of resurrection? We get it through the voice of the Son of God, namely the Word which is revealed through a verse that explains other verses in the Bible, the true teaching Word, or the Bride Tidings.
John 5:24-25,28-29
5:24. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
5:25 "Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
5:29 "and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
Now, we who have died to sin can be raised because of Jesus' words or the Word.
Thus, 'not one of the bones shall be broken' refers to the power of resurrection and glory by the Bride Tidings which is able to renew the fleshly men who die spiritually into the spiritual and perfect ones like Jesus.
What must be renewed?- The lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16-17
5:16. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
It means as follows:- The evil lust, namely the will of money which makes stinginess and greediness.
- The unclean lust, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
- The bitterness of heart or envy and hatred.
1 Peter 2:1
2:1. Therefore, laying aside all malice(1), all deceit(2), hypocrisy(3), envy(4), and all evil speaking(5),
Therefore, the Word must pierce us so that the fleshly lusts are sanctified and renewed until we only desire the pure spiritual milk.
1 Peter 2:2
2:2. as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
The pure spiritual milk refers to the true shepherding Word or the repeated teaching Word.
Always desiring the pure spiritual milk is the same as enjoying the shepherding Word. It means hearing and obeying the voice of the shepherd.
As the proof, we are led to enter the Holy Place or shepherding pen to have the perseverance in doing the three main services to God, namely the General Service, the Bible Study Service, and the Prayer Service.
It is the same as walking in the Spirit. - The evil lust, namely the will of money which makes stinginess and greediness.
- The works of the flesh.
Galatians 5:19-21
5:19. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
5:21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
We are sanctified and renewed from the works of the flesh, so we are led by the Spirit. - The characteristics of the flesh.
Galatians 5:24-26
5:24. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Do not become conceited, but give honor to one another as well as to the ones who are inferior. It is the same as living in Holy Spirit.
Do not envy one another, but love one another.
Do not provoke one another, but do good deeds and repay good for evil.
Verse 24 = we are continually renewed until the Veil is torn. We fulfill the measurement of God, namely the flesh does not speak anymore.
The measurement is producing the nine fruits of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23
5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
'love, joy, peace'= the image of Father God (the sun).
'longsuffering, kindness, goodness'= the image of the Son of God (the moon).
'faithfulness, gentleness, self-control'= the image of Holy Spirit God (the stars).
Having the nine fruits of the Spirit, there must be the nine gifts of Holy Spirit, the nine ministries of the Son of God, and the nine works of love of Father God. We are appointed as the priests and kings who are used in the ministry for the edification of the perfect body of Christ. We become the witness of God until the end line. We testify, praise the Lord, and worship Him. This is the mouth of a baby. We become the house of prayer.
Matthew 21:16,15
21:16. and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infantsYou have perfected praise'?"
21:15. But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful thingsthat He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant
'babes and nursing infants' refers to the shepherded life.
We become the house of prayer and God pleads our life. The physical miracles must surely happen.
Having the nine fruits of the Spirit, there will be the sun, moon, and stars. We fulfill the measurement of God and appear as the Bride of God or a woman with the sun, moon, and stars.
Revelation 12:1
12:1. Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moonunder her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
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.
We are evacuated to the wilderness, far away from the eyes of the serpent. Not being willing to be sanctified and renewed by the Bride Tidings or not being willing to be shepherded, one will be left on the days when the Antichrist reigns over the world because the flesh still speaks. He must struggle to be a baby, whose mouth only worships God.
1 Corinthians 15: 51-52
15:51. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--
15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
The people who have died in Jesus on the days when the Antichrist reigns over the world and ones who live in the renewal until Jesus comes will be changed to be one perfect body of Christ. We become the heavenly Bride who is ready to welcome Jesus' second coming on the glorious clouds and enter the marriage supper of the Lamb. All things have been renewed.
After that, we enter the One-Thousand-Years Kingdom of Peace or the future paradise and the New Jerusalem.
- The lust of the flesh.
- The judgment of God on earth is done, the doomsday, and the everlasting hell.
Revelation 16:17-18
16:17. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"
16:18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
Who is judged? Ones who reject the death, resurrection, and glory are judged. They do not want to be reconciled and renewed, but reject the Bride Tidings and the shepherding as well as do not want to repent, so they keep on being the sinful fleshly men.
After they die, they will not be resurrected when Jesus comes a second time. If they live until Jesus comes a second time, they will die because of the doomsday and not be resurrected. After a thousand years they will be resurrected for being judged in the hell forever.
Zechariah 12:10-12
12:10. "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
12:11 "In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
12:12 "And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Our struggle now is seeing the side of Jesus which has been pierced. It means repenting and being baptized of water. We live in righteousness and all things become easy and light.
We struggle personally and with our family that we can be the sincere baby. Our life starts to be comfortable and joyful. Then, we must continue with being shepherded well and correctly. We are sanctified and changed by the Bride Tidings which is preached repetitively until we can yield the fruits of the Spirit and the flesh does not speak anymore. We are used as the priests to serve to God in the edification of the perfect body of Christ. We become the house of prayer and worship God much more until we are evacuated to the wilderness and lifted up when Jesus comes a second time. All things have been new and we only wait for the One-Thousand-Years Kingdom of Peace and enter the heavenly kingdom.
Don't be hard-hearted in sins, but mourn because of sins!
Our struggle is being like a baby. God will pay attention to us. He struggles for the babies.
Isaiah 49:15-16
49:15. "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.
49:16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.
1 Corinthians 2:9
2:9. But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man' means becoming a baby.
All things are provided by God.
God blesses you.
