Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
According to Tabernacle Teaching, Revelation 2-3 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood before the Ark of the Covenant.
It means
the last sanctificationdone by Jesus for the seven churches of the Gentiles or the congregation in the last days to make them perfect or without blemish like Jesus.
We learn about the church in Thyatira.
Revelation 2:18-202:18 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:
2:19 "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
2:20 "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. “Jesus appears in these two forms to the church in Thyatira.
- His eyes are like a flame of fire. It means the sanctification to the inmost part.
- His feet are like fine brass. It refers to the judgment or condemnation.
Revelation 2:232:23 "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. Jesus appears to sanctify our heart and mind or the inmost mind or the kidney. Why?
- So that we are not proud of our superiorities or disappointed/hopeless in our weaknesses. We do not remain in our weaknesses, but surrender fully to God.
Revelation 2:19
2:19 "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
- So that we are sanctified from false doctrines [Revelation 2:20-24].
There are two kinds of false doctrine in the church in Thyatira as follows.
- The doctrine of Jezebel.
Revelation 2:20
2:20 "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
It is the false teachings allowing woman to teach and have authority over man.
1 Timothy 2:11-14
2:11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
2:12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
The right teachings or Bride Tidings teaches us that a woman may not teach or have authority over man in the service to God and marriage. It is related to the fall of Eve. All fruits in garden Eden may be eaten freely except of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It means now that woman may minister to God in all kinds of ministry except teaching and having authority over man.
A woman must be in silence where there is a man. It means placing the man as the head in the service to God and marriage. This is the right structure. As a result, Jesus becomes the Head in the service to God and marriage.
1 Corinthians 11:2-3
11:2Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
11:3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
The doctrine of Jezebel allows woman to teach and have authority over man. The woman becomes the head of the man; consequently, Jesus cannot become the Head, but the serpent. It is the same as giving the forbidden fruit to the man until the marriage and service get naked and destroyed.
The doctrine of Jezebel is very contradictory to Bride Tidings.
Deborah was written in the Old Testament, but has been fulfilled in the New Testament, so Barak, not Deborah, is written.
Hebrews 11:32
11:32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets:
Phoebe ministered as a helper. The women helped the ministry of Jesus, not teaching.
Romans 16:1-2
16:1 I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,
16:2 that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helperof many and of myself also.
Luke 8:1-3
8:1 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,
8:2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities––Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
8:3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.
- The depth of Satan.
Revelation 2:24
2:24 "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
It is the false doctrine learning all things about Satan up to his house, namely the hell. It is very contradictory to Tabernacle Teachings that learns about the house of God.
Be careful because every doctrine has its spirit. If we learn Tabernacle or God’s house or heavenly kingdom, we will be stamped by the spirit of God and become His.
On the contrary, learning the depths of Satan will cause the spirit of Satan to enter. The heart and mind are stamped by Satan and one cannot repent.
The consequences are as follows.
- Being cast into a sickbed.
Revelation 2:21-22
2:21 "And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.
2:22 "Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
It means falling to the peak of sin, namely sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse, and marrying-being given in marriage sins such as sexuality sin with all its kinds. The false doctrine will cause false consecration, service, ministry, and marriage.
- Being dry and dead in spirituality.
Revelation 2:23
2:23 "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
Finally, one looks for pseudo satisfaction in the world and brings it to the church. Spiritual dryness means not being fervent in spirit anymore in spiritual things, especially in listening to the Word. He lives in sin and enjoys in it. He does not repent, but blames others and God until he cannot repent. He becomes the same as Satan.
- Entering great tribulation.
Revelation 2:22
2:22 "Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.
It means that one is not evacuated, but left when the antichrist reigns over the world for three years and a half. He worships the antichrist and perishes.
We must hold fast the true teaching Word, namely Bride Tidings in the light of Tabernacle Teachings that is revealed by God to the late Rev. FG van Gessel like what has been seen by Moses on the Mount Sinai.
Exodus 24:1824:18 So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Exodus 34:2834:28 So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.Moses fasted forty days and forty nights to receive these two things.
- The instruction and command to build Tabernacle according to the pattern from heaven. The physical tabernacle has been destroyed, but we have the teachings, whose centre is doing the will of God.
- The two tablets of stone.
It refers to Bride Tidings, whose centre is the love of God.
The Tabernacle teachings and Bride Tidings cannot be separated from one another. The Tabernacle without the two tablets of stone is empty or useless and the two tablets of stone without the tabernacle will have no place.
Fasting for forty days and forty nights, Moses was very weak in his body. It means that we cannot use the power and intelligence of our flesh to receive the Bride Tidings in the light of Tabernacle Teachings or the true teaching Word. We must use our faith and full surrendering to God. The faith is in higher level than the logic. Therefore, our logic will receive the Bride Tidings for sure after our faith receives it.
Hebrews 4:12-134:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two–edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.The Bride Tidings in the light of Tabernacle Teachings is the same as the Word of God sharper than any two-edged sword.
Exodus 32:26-2832:26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on the LORD's side -- come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
32:27 And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.' "
32:28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day. There are many false doctrines deceiving the chosen people in the last days.
We must put the sword on our side, in which there is the kidney. It means we are sanctified to our inmost feelings. We are on the Lord’s side. We are strong and of good courage to hold fast and obey one true teaching Word regardless of any risk we have to face.
The results are as follows.
- There is power of sanctification.
- Sanctification to our heart and mind.
Matthew 15:19
15:19 "For out of the heart proceed (1)evil thoughts, (2)murders,(3) adulteries, (4)fornications, (5)thefts, (6)false witness, (7)blasphemies.
The heart is filled with seven evil and unclean desires. Consequently, the lamps are quenched or the eyes are dark and the life is without any control anymore.
If the heart is sanctified, it will be filled with Holy Spirit with His seven manifestations until there is the fear of the Lord or hating the sin.
Isaiah 11:1-3
11:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
11:2 (1)The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, (2)The Spirit of wisdom and (3)understanding, (4)The Spirit of counsel and (5)might, (6)The Spirit of knowledge and of (7)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;
- Sanctification to our characteristics.
1 Chronicles 21:1-2, 7, 16-17
21:1 Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
21:2 So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring the number of them to me that I may know it."
21:7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.
21:16 Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
21:17 And David said to God, "Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued."
We are sanctified from arrogance or pride of something in the world. Such things cause one not to hope in God anymore. One often appreciates something in the world more than God until he resists against the true teachings. We must appreciate God or the true teaching Word more than anything in the world.
- Sanctification to our mouth.
Psalm 149:6
149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two–edged sword in their hand,
It continues until we do not stumble in word. We are as perfect as Jesus is.
James 3:2
3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
Exodus 32:28
32:28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
3000 = the measure of Holy Place (2000=20x10x10)+ Most Holy Place (1000=10x10x10).
If we put the sword on our side and get the sanctification done by the sword of the Word of God, we will be able to persevere in doing three main services to God, be shepherded well and correctly in the Holy Place until we are perfect in the Most Holy Place.
Not being shepherded well and correctly, one will enter the negative figure of two thousand, namely two thousand swine that died in the lake. It means wallowing in the sins until one gets the negative figure of three thousand, namely three thousand people who died in the temple of Dagon.
Judges 16:25-27
16:25 So it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may perform for us." So they called for Samson from the prison, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
16:26 Then Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, "Let me feel the pillars which support the temple, so that I can lean on them."
16:27 Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there -- about three thousand men and womenon the roof watching while Samson performed.
- The Lord is on our side.
Jesus must die on the cross and get the sword of condemnation to be on our side.
He is on our side like the mercy seat is united with the ark and cannot be moved. It means that God never leaves us. He is always with us to care, pay attention to us and struggle for us. The results are as follows.
- All heavy burdens and weariness are born by God.
Psalm 118:5-6
118:5 I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.
118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
He gives us relief and peace, so all things become easy and light. We do not feel anything that our flesh feels. We only love God.
- The High Priest is able to help us in time of need.
Hebrews 13:4-6
13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
13:6 So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
The Lord helps us to preserve us abundantly without any lack and we are not stingy or greedy. We can say “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
He helps our marriage to be righteous, holy, and one to reach the perfection.
- The Lord uses our life in the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain to build the perfect body of Christ.
Joshua 1:5-6
1:5 "No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.
1:6 "Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
He guarantees our beautiful and successful future life.
- The Lord is able to finish all our struggles.
1 Chronicles 28:20
28:20 And David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God––my God––will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finishedall the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
He bears all bitterness of our life and gives us sweet wine.
We are sanctified and changed until we are perfect as His bride who is ready to welcome Jesus’ second coming until we can sit with Him on heavenly throne forever.
God blesses you.
