Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 9:4-6
9:4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
9:5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
9:6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
The target of the fifth judgment of the Son of God is ones who do not have the seal of God on the foreheads.
The fifth judgment happens through the torment of the scorpion for five months. Men will seek death and will not find it. They must get the judgment.
There are two negative things about the five months as follows.
- Men only committed sins up to the peak, so they were condemned by the flood for one hundred and fifty days or five months until they perished.
Genesis 7:23-24
7:23 So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.
7:24 And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 6:8
6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
If a husband or pastor still gets the grace of God, there will be a hope for the whole family or congregation to be saved.
- God condemns the fleshly men or the ones who do not have the seal of God on the foreheads or only think and look for the worldly things until they ignore the spiritual ones. Such people even do not hesitate to sacrifice the spiritual things to get the worldly ones.
Revelation 9:5
9:5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
Philippians 3:18-19
3:18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
3:19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.
We must have the positive things about the five months to face the negative ones.
There are two positive things about the five months as follows.
- Noah and the family were in the ark of Noah for five months.
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,
Now, we and our family must enter the true water baptism.
Matthew 3:15-16
3:15 But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.
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 dove and alighting upon Him.
The true water baptism is in line with the Bible and Jesus' baptism.
One who has repented or died to sin must be buried in water with Jesus to be raised with Him in the new life.
The new life means that we have the good conscience as the dwelling place of Holy Spirit.
Genesis 6:9
6:9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
The facts found in having the Holy Spirit are as follows.
- Living in righteousness in all aspects of life.
- Being perfect or sincere and honest. Say "yes" if "yes" and "no" if "no".
- Walking with the Trinity of God or persevering in doing the three main services to Him in the shepherding pen or the Holy Place as follows.
- Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Service to have the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts.
- Table of Showbread or perseverance in doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communionto get the fellowship with the Son of God in the Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
- Golden Altar of Incense or perseverance in doing Worship Prayer Serviceto get the fellowship with Father God in the love. The proof is that we can love God more than anything and we can love other people as ourselves; even we can love the enemy.
In the perseverance in doing the three main services to God, our body, soul, and spirit walk with the Trinity of God. The results are as follows.
- The hands of the trinity of Satan cannot touch, make us fall, and deceive us.
- The judgment of God cannot come to us.
The duty of a pastor is feeding the congregation and lifting up the intercession prayer for them.
If a pastor does not want to feed the congregation, his prayer will be an abomination.
Proverbs 28:9
28:9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
- Getting the grace of God or living in His merciful hands. We are saved and blessed up to our descendants and we become blessings for others.
- The time to bring us in the womb of the teaching Word, so we can hear and obey the true teaching Word.
Luke 1:24-25,13-15
1:24 Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
1:25 "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people."
1:13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
1:14 "And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
1:15 "For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Matthew 11:11
11:11 "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
As a result, we become a great man as follows.
- One who is anointed by Holy Spirit.
- The righteous.
- Hiding our life.
Luke 1:24
1:24 Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
It means neither showing off, being proud of, nor magnifying physical things although we may have all of those things because we confess that the physical things are only bonus from God.
The proof is that we are faithful and fervent in spirit in doing the spiritual things or the service and ministry to God. As result, God Himself will add all physical things to us.
- Hiding our life also means being silent much more and doing the introspection in our life through the sharpness of the sword of the Word.
The results are as follows.
- We get the power of sanctificationto wipe away all reproaches of sins up to the peak, especially the sin of not believing and not obeying God.
Acts 27:10-11
27:10 saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives."
27:11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.
Luke 1:18-20
1:18 And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
1:19 And the angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.
1:20 "But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time."
Mark 9:24-25
9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"
9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!"
One who does neither believe nor obey God will be the target of the wind and wave or the deaf and dumb spirit.
Being deafmeans not being able to hear and obey the true teaching Word.
Being dumbmeans the idle words or the ones which have no spiritual meaning.
If one is deaf and dumb, all things will not be good, but destroyed.
Mark 7:37
7:37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
God makes all things good through the shepherding.
The ears are good. It means only hearing and obeying the true teaching Word.
The mouth is good. It means the good sayings and only believing Jesus.
As a result, God will make all things good.
- Experiencing the power of the seal of the name of Jesus.
Revelation 9:4
9:4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Psalm 138:2
138:2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
Jesus gets the name which is above all names when He is obedient to the point of death on the cross.
We will get the seal of the name of Jesus on our forehead if we obey the Word now.
The results of having the seal of the name of Jesus are as follows.
- The power of the protection from God.
- We always remember God and He remembers us. We can prioritize Him or the service and ministry to Him more than all things. We only believe and hope God. We fully surrender to Him. He will always remember, pay attention to, care, and struggle for us.
Psalm 103:10-14
103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
103:13 As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
103:14 For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.
God remembers that we are only like the dust with our many weaknesses, so He forgives all our sins by His sacrifice on the cross.
He will create us as the vessel of glory to be used for the glory of His name.
Isaiah 49:14-16
49:14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me."
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.
He remembers that we are only like a powerless baby in the midst of the wilderness of the world. His eyes look as us, who have been hopeless, disappointed, and so on. He wants to carry us, preserve us miraculously, and give the beautiful successful future life to us. We only cry until He has mercy on our life.
Luke 23:42-43
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."
He remembers us until we enter the everlasting heavenly kingdom.
God blesses you.
