Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:13-16 is about four appearances of Jesus in His glory as follows.

  1. [verse 13] The appearance of Jesus in His glory as The High Priest.
  2. [verse 14] The appearance of Jesus in His glory as The King of all kings.
  3. [verse 15] The appearance of Jesus in His glory as The Just Judge.
  4. [verse 16] The appearance of Jesus in His glory as The Heavenly Bridegroom.

We are still discussing the third, namely the appearance of Jesus in His glory as The Just Judge.
Revelation 1:15
1:15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

Jesus appears in His glory as The Just Judge with two signs, namely His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters.
His voice as the sound of many watersis the prophetic Word as follows.

  • The revelation of the Word that reveals about all things that have not happened yet, but will happen in the last days for sure, especially about Jesus’ second coming and the judgment of God.

  • The revelation of the Word that shows us the hidden sins in the congregation that make spiritual dryness and death even being left and perdition forever when Jesus comes a second time.

The functions of the prophetic Word or the voice of Jesus that is as the sound of many waters are as follows.

  1. For making us not enter the judgment of God that will come, namely destruction together with the world up to perdition in the hell.
  2. For forming or sanctifying and renewing us until we are as perfect as Jesus is and become the bride of heaven who is ready to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds.
    Revelation 19:6-7
    19:6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many watersand 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."


If we hear the Word of God as the sound of many waters now, our mouth will produce the voice of worship as the sound of many waters, namely saying “Alleluia” when Jesus comes a second time.

The steps of the prophetic Word’s forming us to be the bride of heaven who is ready to welcome Jesus’ second coming on the glorious clouds with saying “Alleluia” as the sound of many waters are as follows.

  1. Being baptized in the right water baptism.
    1 Peter 3:20-21
    3:20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
    3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us––
    baptism(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

    Formerly, the prophetic Word or the sound of many waters encouraged Noah and his family to enter his ark, so that they could be saved from the flood. Now, the prophetic Word or the voice of God as the sound of many waters encourages us to be baptized correctly, so that we are saved from the fire judgment from heaven.

    Matthew 3:7
    3:7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

    Being baptized in the correct water baptism means that we flee from the wrath or judgment of God that will come or the fire from heaven and the one in the hell.

    Romans 6:2-4
    6:2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
    6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus
    were baptized into His death?
    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.

    Colossians 2:12
    2:12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

    The correct water baptism happens when the one who has been dead to sin is buried in water and raised together with Jesus to get a new life, namely the heavenly one.

    Genesis 6:9
    6:9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfectin his generations. Noah walked with God.

    The facts found in having the new life or heavenly one are as follows.

    • Living in righteousness.
    • Honesty. It begins from about godly matter o teachings until we can be honest in all things.
    • Walking with God or serving and ministering to Him faithfully and fervently in spirit with the responsibility. We faithfully worship God, avoid the bad and unrighteous friendship, in physical one or through internet.

    As a result, our marriage becomes one, safe, and joyful.

  2. Following Jesus wherever He goes.
    Revelation 14:1-5
    14:1. Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty–four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.
    14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps.
    14:3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty–four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.
    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.
    14:5 And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.

    The prophetic Word or the voice as the sound of many waters encourages us to follow the steps of Jesus, namely the death step and the resurrection one.

    1 Peter 2:21-25
    2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
    2:22 "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";
    2:23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
    2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness––by whose stripes you were healed.
    2:25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

    The facts found in it are as follows.

    • The death stepmeans being dead to sin, namely not sinning, lying, or repaying evil for evil, but repaying good for evil.
      The resurrection stepmeans living for righteousness and holding fast to the true teaching Word.
      The experience of death and resurrection or downward and upward condition is the new song as the sound of many waters in the mouth of every man that cannot be learnt by others.

    • Being shepherded well and correctly to the true teaching Wordor the True Vine or Jesus Himself. We are always inside the shepherding pen with the perseverance in doing three main services to God as follows.

      • Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Service to have fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His gifts.
      • Table of Showbread or perseverance in doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communion to have fellowship with the Son of God with the true teaching Word and Christ’s sacrifice.

      • Golden Altar of Incense or perseverance in doing Prayer Service to have fellowship with Father God in His love.

      Our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God in the shepherding, so we cannot be touched by Satan. As a result, our new song is made firm and increased.

      Psalm 137:1
      137:1. By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we weptWhen we remembered Zion.

      Amos 8:3
      8:3 And the songs of the temple Shall be wailingin that day," Says the Lord GOD––"Many dead bodies everywhere, They shall be thrown out in silence."

      If one is not shepherded and there is no sanctification, the new song in the temple of God will be lamentation song by the rivers of Babylon.

    • The following of the body to the Head or being inside the building of the perfect body of Christ.
      Revelation 14:4-5
      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.
      14:5 And
      in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.

      We have the increase of the sanctification in the building of the body of Christ, namely until our mouth does not lie, but only praises and worships God.

  3. The prophetic Word or God’s voice as the sound of many waters changes us from fleshy men to spiritual ones as Jesus is.
    Revelation 19:6-7
    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."

    It means that we become the bride of heaven who is as glorious as Jesus is and worthy of welcoming His second coming with the sound of worship as the many waters.

    Revelation 19:1, 3-4
    19:1. After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!
    19:3 Again they said, "
    Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!"
    19:4 And the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, "Amen!
    Alleluia!"

    The worship with saying “Alleluia” is the reflection of the true worship of heaven.

    Revelation 19:5
    19:5. Then a voice came from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!"

    One who can worship with the voice “Alleluia” has the life renewal, namely the fear of the Lord as follows.

    • Hating sins and living in holiness.
      Proverbs 8:13
      8:13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.


    • Being sincere and faithful in doing the service and ministry to God.
      Joshua 24:14
      24:14 " Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!


    • Holding fast to the true teaching Word and being obedient.
      Ecclesiastes 12:13
      12:13. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.


    We have the renewal until we can breathe with the fear of the Lord.
    Isaiah 11:1-3
    11:1. There shall come forth a Rod from the stemof Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
    11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
    11:3 His delight is in
    the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;

    One who fears the Lord can worship God. He is anointed by Holy Spirit.
    Although his life is as the stem, namely being powerless, meaningless, and nothing, he can worship saying “Alleluia” and experience a miracle. The stem can have the root, flower, and fruit.
    Having root means we can live physically that we are preserved and helped by God in the midst of many impossible things, and spiritually that we can live in righteousness and holiness in the midst of the darkness of the world in the last days.
    Having flower means that we are trusted by God with the ministry and the gifts of Holy Spirit. It is the most beautiful time in our life. We are used in the ministry for building the body of Christ. God gives us a beautiful, successful, and joyful future life.

    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.

    Bearing fruits means that we are changed continually until we have the nine fruits as follows.

    • Love, joy, peace or the characteristics of Father God.
    • Longsuffering, kindness, goodness or the characteristics of the Son of God.
    • Faithfulness, gentleness, self–control or the characteristics of Holy Spirit God.

    We are changed little by little until we are as perfect and glorious as Jesus is. We become God’s bride who is worthy to welcome Jesus’ second coming on the glorious clouds with the sound of worship as the many waters.

    Luke 23:40-43
    23:40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
    23:41 "And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."
    23:42 Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
    23:43 And Jesus said to him, "
    Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

    For example, a criminal who was crucified beside Jesus refers to one who is in failure, ashamed, and suffered, even in perdition. But, he could confess his sin. Do not repeat the sin after being forgiven. We can worship God and He is able to change the life like the stem into the one in the atmosphere of paradise in joy and success.

God blesses you.
