Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 4:84:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"Each of the four living creatures has six wings that refer to the six working days of God. God stops working on the seventh day and sanctifies it as the Sabbath day.
2 Peter 3:83:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 1 day = 1.000 years, 6 days = 6.000 years. It refers to
three ages when God works and men are lifted up to heaven.
- The age of Father God or the beginning. It is counted from Adam to Abraham. The representative is Enoch.
- The age of the Son of God or the middle. It is counted from Abraham to the first coming of Jesus. The representatives are Moses and Elijah.
- The age of Holy Spirit God or the last. It is counted from the first coming of Jesus to the second one. The representative is the Lord Jesus and someday the Church will also be taken up to heaven.
We learn about
Enoch.
Genesis 5:22-245:22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters.
5:23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.
5:24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. The number three hundred refers to the periphery of Tabernacle whose length is one hundred cubits and the width is fifty cubits. Thus, we must walk with God in the system of Tabernacle or heavenly kingdom so that we can be taken up to the throne of heavenly kingdom like Enoch.
The facts found in walking with God in the system of Tabernacle are as follows.
- We walk with God according to the Tabernacle and Bride teachings or the Bride Tidings in the light of Tabernaclewhich was revealed to the late Rev. F.G. van Gessel by God. It is in line with the Bible.
There are two kinds of the preaching of God's Word as follows.
- Gospel of Salvation, Gospel Word, Good News, or milk [Ephesians 1:13], namely the gospel preaching Jesus' first coming in the world to die on the cross for saving the sinful men. It calls the sinful men to enter the Court of Tabernacle or be saved. The proofs are as follows.
- Entering through the Gate. It means believing or having faith in Jesus as the only one savior.
- The Altar of Burnt Offering. It means repenting or being dead to sin.
- The Brazen Laver. It refers to the water baptism to result in the new life.
- The Door or the fullness of Holy Spirit.
As a result, we can live in righteousness as well as be saved and blessed by God.
- The light of the gospel of the glory of Christ or the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword. It is called as the Bride Tidings or solid food [2 Corinthians 4:3-4], namely the gospel that preaches Jesus' second coming in the glory as the King of all kings or the Heavenly Bridegroom to bring the saved people in the Holy Place or sanctification and the Most Holy Place or perfection until they can enter the throne of the heavenly kingdom.
Revelation 14:6
14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospelto preach to those who dwell on the earth--to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people--
- The friendship with God in the shepherding system.
It is the same as entering the Holy Place in which there are three kinds of equipment that refer to the perseverance in doing the three main services to God 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 Communion to 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.
Our body, soul, and spirit attach to the trinity of God in the shepherding pen, so the trinity of Satan cannot touch us. We do not fall in sin or lose our way. We are firm in the salvation and not outside the Gate of Tabernacle.
There will be a difference between the people who are shepherded and the others who are not. like Jacob and Esau.
Genesis 25:25-27
25:25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.
25:26 Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
25:27 So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents.
Esau came out red when he was born. It refers to the sign of repentance. He was like a hairy garment all over. It refers to the anointing of Holy Spirit. Moreover, he was the firstborn son who had the firstborn right, namely the right to get the heritage and get married. Nevertheless, he used the system of hunting the meat or serving and ministering to God to pursue the physical things. Thus, he sacrificed the spiritual things and wander or not being shepherded. Consequently, he was dissatisfied and tired although he got the physical things. Finally, he lost the firstborn right or spiritual things. It means losing everything. Moreover, he wept forever.
On the contrary, Jacob was inferior to him, but he dwelt in the tent or used the system of shepherding. It means the perseverance in doing the three main services to God in the shepherding system. Such thing is painful for our flesh, but easy and light for our soul and spirit. As a result, Jacob got the firstborn right or everything.
Thus, we must be shepherded to the true teaching Word like a branch that abides in the true Vine. As a result, we will bear the sweet fruits for sure.
The facts found in walking with God in the system of Tabernacle or being shepherded to the true teaching Word are as follows.
- We have faith and obedience.
Hebrews 11:5
11:5By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Enoch had the faith that pleases God or the true one, namely the faith that comes from hearing the Word of God in the anointing of Holy Spirit, as well as the work of faith or obedience.
Matthew 7:22-23
7:22 "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
The results are as follows.
- Success in our life in the world and in the service and ministry to God.
- The opened door of the heavenly kingdom. It means that we can be lifted up to the throne of the heavenly kingdom. The doors in the world will also be opened. We have the solution of all problems. On the contrary, being disobedient means adding problems to problems and shutting the door of the heavenly kingdom.
- Honesty.
Proverbs 3:32
3:32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright.
We honestly confess our sin to God and others. After being forgiven, we do not repeat the sin.
Titus 2:7
2:7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
We must also be honest in the matter of teachings. We support and obey the true teachings while we avoid the false ones.
Hebrews 13:4
13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
Moreover, we must also be honest in our deeds. It begins from the honesty in marriage that it must be righteous according to the Bible. Keep the holiness and unity of the marriage!
Hebrews 13:5
13:5Let 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."
We must also be honest in the matter of money. Do not be stingy and greedy. The stinginess means that one cannot give and the greediness means that one robs the possession of God, namely the tithes and offerings, as well as the one of others.
It continues until we are honest in all things. As a result, Jesus becomes the Head of our life. He is responsible for our life by His death on the cross to preserve and protect us until we are brought to be united with Him.
- The fear of the Lord.
Psalm 25:14
25:14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.
Proverbs 8:13
8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
It means hating sins, namely evil and uncleanness, up to lie.
The results are as follows.
- Receiving the revelation of God's Word or the true teaching Word.
Psalm 25:14
25:14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.
We are sanctified and our life is satisfied.
- Receiving the anointing of Holy Spirit with the seven manifestations.
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;
We always live in the light, so we will not stumble or fall.
John 4:24
4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
The true teaching Word and the anointing of Holy Spirit bring us to the true worship.
John 9:34-38
9:34 They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out.
9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
9:36 He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"
9:37 And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."
9:38 Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him.
We have the opportunity to have the closer relationship with God when we are experiencing the sprinkling of blood. Our eyes only look at God. Our mouth speaks to Him or cries out His name and we stretch out our hands to Him to believe and entrust our life fully to Him.
2 Kings 4:18-21, 27-28
4:18 And the child grew. Now it happened one day that he went out to his father, to the reapers.
4:19 And he said to his father, "My head, my head!" So he said to a servant, "Carry him to his mother."
4:20 When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
4:21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him, and went out.
4:27 Now when she came to the man of God at the hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi came near to push her away. But the man of God said, "Let her alone; for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me."
4:28 So she said, "Did I ask a son of my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not deceive me'?"
We often use our own logic or thought and doubt the Word in facing the problem. The Shunammite woman faced the dead son. The dead son refers to the wallowing in the mire of sins up to the peak or the sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse as well as the ones concerning marrying-being given in marriage. It means a total failure and there is no future life, but sorrow, bitterness of life, tears, impossibility, up to the everlasting perdition.
2 Kings 4:29-30, 32-37
4:29 Then he said to Gehazi, "Get yourself ready, and take my staff in your hand, and be on your way. If you meet anyone, do not greet him; and if anyone greets you, do not answer him; but lay my staff on the face of the child."
4:30 And the mother of the child said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose and followed her.
4:32 When Elisha came into the house, there was the child, lying dead on his bed.
4:33 He went in therefore, shut the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.
4:34 And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands; and he stretched himself out on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm.
4:35 He returned and walked back and forth in the house, and again went up and stretched himself out on him; then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
4:36 And he called Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite woman." So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, "Pick up your son."
4:37 So she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground; then she picked up her son and went out.
The way out is shutting the door or worshiping God, namely our eyes look at Him, our mouth cries out, and our hands are stretched out to Him. The dead son sneezed seven times means that we must throw away all dirty things of sins which hinder our relationship with God or cause our clogged nose until we cannot worship God. Our eyes can be opened to look at God or hope in Him and His power only. As a result, the spiritual miracle happens that the dead son could be made alive. It means that God lifts us up and restores our spiritual life, so we can return to the true marriage. Moreover, He uses us in the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain until we are lifted up to the heavenly kingdom. The physical miracles will also happen. All problems are solved by God and we have the beautiful successful future life in His time.
Mark 9:23-24
9:23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
9:24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"
For example, a doubtful father faced His child who was an epileptic. Do not be doubtful, but keep believing and hoping in God until His miracles happen.
God blesses you.
