Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 4:8
4:8 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 rest or Sabbath day.
2 Peter 3:8
3:8 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.
We have learnt about Enoch who walked with God for three hundred years. Now we are learning about Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:5-7
34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
34:6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day.
34:7 Moses was one hundred and twenty years oldwhen he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.
Jude1:9
1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
Moses lived for one hundred and twenty years and he died according to the Word of God. Then, he was raised in the body of glory to be taken up to heaven. The main purpose of our life in the world is until we can be taken up to the throne of the heavenly kingdom.
"Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished." It means that God wants to use our life in His field when He still gives us life in the world. Do not stop or retire, but keep faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God. The lifetime of Moses for one hundred and twenty years can be divided into three parts, forty years in each part. The figure forty refers to the tearing or crucifixion to the flesh. Thus, the whole life of Moses was signified with the tearing or crucifixion to the flesh.
God blesses you.

2 Peter 3:8
3:8 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 the Church will also be taken up to heaven when Jesus comes a second time.
We have learnt about Enoch who walked with God for three hundred years. Now we are learning about Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:5-7
34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.

- Forty years of Moses in Egypt.
Acts 7:20-23
7:20 "At this time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father's house for three months.
7:21 "But when he was set out, Pharaoh's daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son.
7:22 "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.
7:23 "Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
From the womb until Moses was born and became an adult, he dwelt in Egypt. He was always threatened by the death, namely in the river, in the hand of the daughter of Pharaoh, and until Pharaoh wanted to kill him.
Exodus 2:6, 10
2:6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water."
How could Moses be saved from the death? The baby Moses cried, so he got the stretching out of the merciful hands of God with the power of resurrection. He could be alive and become the son of the king.
Therefore, we must always dwell in the hand of God's grace when we are still in the womb until we are old because the death always pursues and threatens to make us perish.
We must experience the life renewal to be a spiritual baby who only cries to God.
John 3:3-5
3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
3:4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"
3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
The spiritual baby refers to one who is reborn by water and spirit or baptized of water and Spirit to have the new life, namely the heavenly one.
The process is as follows.- Having faith(= the Gate) or believing in Jesus by hearing the Word of God in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
- Repenting(= the Altar of Burnt Offering) or stopping sinning to return to God. We die to sin.
Revelation 22:15
22:15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
It is especially from the sin of dogs or paganism, sorcerers or false teachings, sexually immoral or uncleanness, murderers or hatred, idolaters or loving something more than God, and liars. - Being baptized of water(= the Brazen Laver). One who has died to sin or repented must be buried in water with Jesus to be raised with Him and get the new life, namely the heavenly one or we are anointed by Holy Spirit.
- Being baptized of Holy Spirit(= the Door).
The sign of being the spiritual baby is living in righteousness and always desiring the pure milk of the true teaching Word. We hold fast the true teaching Word and become the instruments of righteousness. The mouth of a baby only cries to God. It refers to the worship to God.
Psalm 37:25-26
37:25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.
37:26 He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed.
As a result, God stretches out His merciful hands to save and bless us up to our descendants and we become blessings for others.
- Having faith(= the Gate) or believing in Jesus by hearing the Word of God in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
- Forty years of Moses in Midian.
Acts 7:28-30, 33
7:28 'Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?'
7:29 "Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he had two sons.
7:30 "And when forty years had passed, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.
7:33 'Then the LORD said to him, "Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
After we are saved and blessed by God, we must continue with these things.- Remembering other people.
Acts 7:22-23
7:22 "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.
7:23 "Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
It means that we testifythe gospel Word or Good News so that the sinful people can believe in Jesus and be saved and blessed. We also testify the teaching Word or Bride Tidings so that the saved people can be sanctified and perfected.
Remember other people can be done through giving to and visitingothers who are in need. - Fleeing to Midian.
Exodus 2:15
2:15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.
Exodus 3:1-2
3:1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
3:2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.
It means that we must quickly enter the true and good shepherdingbecause Satan always tries to chase and kill the sons of God who have been saved and blessed. He does it through the temptations; even the impossible ones, to make the sons of God disappointed and hopeless until they leave God. Satan also works through the sins up to the peak to make the sons of God sinful and depart from faith. He also works with the false teachings and gossip to make the sons of God get weak and fall.
The requirements of being shepherded well and correctly are as follows.- Dwelling always in the shepherding pen or the Holy Place. We persevere in doing the three main services to God as follows.
- Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Serviceto 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.
We get the four layers of covering in the Holy Place, so we become peaceful.
Exodus 2:15
2:15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.
For example, Moses had not been peaceful before he was in Midian, but he could sit down by a well in Midian. If we can be shepherded, our life starts to be quiet and peaceful. Our life is arranged well by God to be easy and light.
The five thousand men also sat on the grass and the merciful hand of God with the power of resurrection was able to multiply the five loaves and two fish for five thousand men. - Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Serviceto have the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts.
- We must be shepherded to the true teaching Word or the true Vine, so we will not lose our way in the wilderness of the world.
The true teaching Word is the same as the living water from heaven that gives us the real satisfaction of heaven in the wilderness of the world which is so dry and full or fata morganaor pseudo-satisfaction. As a result, we do not fall in the satisfaction of the world or sins up to the peak.
Jeremiah 23:29
23:29 "Is not My word like a fire?" says the LORD, "And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
Acts 7:33
7:33 'Then the LORD said to him, "Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
The true teaching Word is like the flame of fire that sanctifies us until we can take the sandals off. It means that we experience the sanctification to our outward and inward man.
Matthew 5:27
5:27 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
It begins from our heart. It is sanctified from the evil lust or the love of money, uncleanness, and bitterness.
Matthew 5:32
5:32 "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
Mark 10:11
10:11 So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
The sanctification also happens to our characteristic, namely the self-truth that often causes the divorce.
Matthew 5:29
5:29 "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
Our sightis sanctified, so we only look at Jesus, the High Priest, who sits at the right side of the throne of Father God. Do not look at others. Do not look back like the wife of Lot who had the worldly sight.
Matthew 5:30
5:30 "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
Our deedsare sanctified to be right and good.
Matthew 5:37
5:37 "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
Finally, our mouthis sanctified, so we can be honest.
As a result, we can appear like a newborn baby who is honest and sincere.
Exodus 3:10-12
3:10 "Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."
3:11 But Moses said to God, "Who am Ithat I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
3:12 So He said, "I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."
We can also be humble to confess our weaknesses and problems.
Exodus 3:4
3:4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to himfrom the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."
After we are sanctified, God will call, choose and send us.
Exodus 3:5
3:5 Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."
The requirement of being the servant of God is holiness. The holiness of a servant of God can be felt by the congregation. Therefore, we must be responsible to keep our holiness.
Psalm 8:2
8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
As a result, there is the power of the Lord's resurrection coming out of our mouth. It will solve all problems; even the impossible ones.
- Dwelling always in the shepherding pen or the Holy Place. We persevere in doing the three main services to God as follows.
- Remembering other people.
- Forty years of Moses in the wilderness.
Acts 7:36
7:36 "He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
He was used by God to lead the house of Israel to go out of Egypt and enter Canaan.
Ephesians 4:11-12
4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
If we live in holiness, God will equip us with the priest office so that we can be used in the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ. It begins from the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, until the Gentiles and Israel become one perfect body.
Luke 10:1, 3
10:1 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
10:3 "Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
The atmosphere of the deputation is as lambs among wolves.
Mark 6:7-8
6:7 And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.
6:8 He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts--
The provision in the sending out or deputation is the staff or cross.
1 Peter 4:12-14
4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
4:13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
4:14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of gloryand of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
There is the spirit of glory or shekinah glory behind the cross. It is the same as the golden scepter that was received by Esther.
Esther 4:16
4:16 "Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!"
Esther 5:1-2
5:1 Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, across from the king's house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.
5:2 So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepterthat was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.
The functions of the golden scepter are as follows.- For facing the murder to the Jews. It refers to the impossible problems, failure, the bitterness of life, up to the threat of the antichrist and false prophets who want to divide and kill the body of Christ. We must keep silent more through our worship prayer, fasting, and all night-long prayer. We must also hold fast to and obey the true teaching Word. Do not be tossed to and fro by the false teachings.
- For going to the king. It refers to waiting for the second coming of Jesus.
There is the spirit of glory behind the cross to renew us from the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Jesus is. The fear of something in the world can be changed into the fear of the Lord. We can be honest and obedient regardless of any risk we have to take. As a result, God changes all things into beautiful and successful ones.
It continues until the time of Jesus' second coming that we are changed to be as glorious as Jesus is. We do not stumble in word [James 3:2]. We only say "Alleluia" on the glorious clouds until we enter the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:15
21:15 And he who talked with me had a gold reedto measure the city, its gates, and its wall.
- For facing the murder to the Jews. It refers to the impossible problems, failure, the bitterness of life, up to the threat of the antichrist and false prophets who want to divide and kill the body of Christ. We must keep silent more through our worship prayer, fasting, and all night-long prayer. We must also hold fast to and obey the true teaching Word. Do not be tossed to and fro by the false teachings.
God blesses you.
