Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant or the suffering in the flesh for the church together with Jesus as the last sanctification that the church can reach the quality of being blameless or perfect.
Revelation 14 can be divided into the following three parts:
ad. 2.
Revelation 14:10-11
14:10."he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
14:11 "And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
The judgment of God happens up to the fire of the hell or the everlasting second death. We must be serious.
Nevertheless, God gives us the way out.
Revelation 14:12-13
14:12Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
14:13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'""Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."
We try hard so that we do not get the judgment of God through'the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus'. This is the important thing.
It means that we must get the spiritual increase of our faith, hope, and love up to the perfection (it is explained in Bible Study Service in Malang, November 16, 2021). We are ready for welcoming Jesus' second coming until entering the New Jerusalem. We are set free from the judgment of God.
Galatians 2:9
2:9.and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
'James, Cephas, and John'= in the Bible, the three apostles refer to the faith, hope, and love.
Thus, the servant of God who has the faith, hope, and love is like'James, Cephas, and John'who gave Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship.
It means that the servants of God who have the faith, hope, and love will be used in the revival of the ministry of the edification of the perfect body of Christ. It begins from the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding until the Israelites (the circumcised) and the Gentiles (the uncircumcised) become one perfect body of Christ.
'pillars'= God's servants who have the faith, hope, and love are used as the pillars.
There are three levels of the pillars as follows:
God blesses you.
Revelation 14 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant or the suffering in the flesh for the church together with Jesus as the last sanctification that the church can reach the quality of being blameless or perfect.
Revelation 14 can be divided into the following three parts:
- Verse 1-5 = the church's following Jesus as the Lamb of God (it has been explained from General Service in Malang, August 15, 2021 to Prayer Service in Malang, October 14, 2021).
- Verse 6-13 = the announcement about the judgment (it has been explained in General Service in Malang, October 17, 2021).
It refers to the mercy of God. Before the judgment comes, He has told us first, so we will not get it. On the days of Noah and Lot, the people mocked when God told about the judgment. Likewise, God also tells us on the last days.
Thus, God's servant's getting His judgment up to perdition is his own mistake because of the hardness of heart. - Verse 14-20 = the harvest on earth.
ad. 2.
Revelation 14:10-11
14:10."he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
14:11 "And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
The judgment of God happens up to the fire of the hell or the everlasting second death. We must be serious.
Nevertheless, God gives us the way out.
Revelation 14:12-13
14:12Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
14:13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'""Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."
We try hard so that we do not get the judgment of God through'the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus'. This is the important thing.
It means that we must get the spiritual increase of our faith, hope, and love up to the perfection (it is explained in Bible Study Service in Malang, November 16, 2021). We are ready for welcoming Jesus' second coming until entering the New Jerusalem. We are set free from the judgment of God.
Galatians 2:9
2:9.and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
'James, Cephas, and John'= in the Bible, the three apostles refer to the faith, hope, and love.
Thus, the servant of God who has the faith, hope, and love is like'James, Cephas, and John'who gave Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship.
It means that the servants of God who have the faith, hope, and love will be used in the revival of the ministry of the edification of the perfect body of Christ. It begins from the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding until the Israelites (the circumcised) and the Gentiles (the uncircumcised) become one perfect body of Christ.
'pillars'= God's servants who have the faith, hope, and love are used as the pillars.
There are three levels of the pillars as follows:
- The pillar and ground of the truth (entering the Gate).
1 Timothy 3:15
3:15.but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Ephesians 2:19-21
2:19.Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
2:20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
2:21 in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
There are two kinds of the foundation of the edification of the perfect body of Christ as follows:- Jesus as the chief cornerstone.
1 Peter 2:6-7
2:6.Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."
2:7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejectedHas become the chief cornerstone,"
The chief cornerstone is the precious beautiful stone which is rejected by the builders.
It refers to Christ who is crucified as the propitiation for the sinful despicable men.
The proof of having the foundation of the sacrifice of Christ is making peace with God and others through confessing and forgiving one another.
As a result, the blood of Jesus washes away all of our sins, so we can get the remission of sin and we do not commit sin anymore or we repent and live in righteousness.
It is the foundation of the edification of Christ's body.
Repenting and living in righteousness, we will get peace, so all things become easy and light. We will not be embarrassed, but glorified --'he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame'.
Keeping sin and blaming at others, one will be brittle and destroyed. He is embarrassed and destroyed, so he cannot be used in the edification of the perfect body of Christ.
Keep the peaceful heart! If we live in righteousness, we will get the peace for sure. - The prophets and apostles.
The prophets refer to the Old Testament.
The apostles refer to the New Testament.
Both of them refer to the Bible or the true teaching Word.
It is also the rock of the chief cornerstone.
2 Samuel 22:31-32
22:31.As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
22:32 "For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?
The true teaching Word sanctifies us from sins up to the peak, so we can live in holiness.
The proof of having the foundation of Christ's sacrifice and the true teaching Word is as follows:- We become the holy and peaceful life, so we can see God. We become the house of prayer.
- Being holy. We say'yes'if'yes'and'no'if'no'.
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.
We become the house of prayer.
Proverbs 15:8
15:8.The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Matthew 18:19
18:19."Again I say to you that if two of you agreeon earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
'two of you'= husband and wife.
'agree to ask'= one heart.
In the shepherding, having the same foundation, we will get the bigger miracle and joy. It continues to the last miracle, namely we are changed to be the same as Jesus and we get the joy on the glorious clouds. - Jesus as the chief cornerstone.
- The pillars in the fellowship of the body of Christ.
Galatians 2:9
2:9.and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
There are five people, namely James, Cephas, John, Paul, and Barnabas.
They refer to the five pillars of the Door of the Tabernacle or the people who get the infilling of Holy Spirit.
The number five also refers to our own life with our five senses. The five senses must be controlled by Holy Spirit, or else they will be the entrance of sins up to the peak.
Acts 2:2-13
2:2.And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
2:3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
2:5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
2:6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
2:7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
2:8 "And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
2:9 "Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
2:10 "Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
2:11 "Cretans and Arabs--we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God."
2:12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "Whatever could this mean?"
2:13 Others mocking said, "They are full of new wine."
Verse 2 = the sound to hear. It refers to the ear.
Verse 3 = the divided tongues, as of fire. It refers to the eye.
Verse 4 = speaking or the mouth.
Verse 6-11 = worshiping in the tongues or Spirit. It refers to the nose.
Verse 12-13 = the feelings or skin.
The edification of the body of Christ is the same as the one of the Tabernacle. It needs five main materials.
Exodus 25:3-7
25:3."And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
25:4 "blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats'hair;
25:5 "ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood;
25:6 "oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense;
25:7 "onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.- 'gold, silver, and bronze'= the metal for the framework of the Tabernacle.
The framework refers to the firm foundation or confession of faith, so we will never deny God.
It refers to the mouth.
The mouth which has been anointed by Holy Spirit is offered for the edification of the perfect body of Christ. - Verse 4-5 = the material of plants. It refers to the nose which smells the spices more or worshipingGod.
- The skin of animal is taken. It refers to the skin for touching.
- 'onyx stones, and stones'= stones. The jewelry is on the ears which are obedient.
Proverbs 25:12
25:12.Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear. - The Tabernacle has the colors which come from the pressed shell. The colors are for being seen. It refers to the eyes.
Thus, the edification of the perfect body of Christ starts from offering the five senses to God.
Ephesians 4:15-16
4:15.but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--
4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
The five senses are on the head.
It means that all of our offerings must aim at Jesus as the Head, not to men, so the edification of the perfect body of Christ can happen.
The five senses refer to the mind and feelings of human.
Thus, offering the five senses is the same as giving the mind and feelings to God, so we get the mind and feelings of Jesus in our life.
The peak is being obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore.
Philippians 2:5-8
2:5.Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
2:7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Thus, one who is anointed by Holy Spirit only says'Abba, Father!'
Romans 8: 15
8:15.For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whomwe cry out, "Abba, Father."
If we are obedient, we can get the power of the name of Jesus.
The results are as follows:- We get the power of Jesus' name to defeat the trinity of Satan.
Philippians 2:9-10
2:9.Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven(Satan), and of those on earth(false prophets), and of those under the earth(the Antichrist),
Satan is the source of sins up to the peak. We can be victorious with the name of Jesus, so we can live in righteousness and holiness.
This is the pillar in the fellowship
Satan is the source of failure. By the name of Jesus, we can be successful and beautiful in time of need. - Opening the door of heaven. It means that the doors in the world are also opened.
Matthew 7:21
7:21."Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Fatherin heaven.
We are saved up to the eternal life in heaven.
- 'gold, silver, and bronze'= the metal for the framework of the Tabernacle.
- The pillars in the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 3:12
3:12."He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
It refers to the Most Holy Place.
The two times seven sprinklings of blood are in the Most Holy Place.
2 Corinthians 4:16-17
4:16.Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
There are two great signs in the Most Holy Place as follows:- The sprinklings of blood.
- Shekinah glory.
- The seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant.
It means that we must willingly suffer in the flesh because of Jesus. - The renewal from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like Jesus is.
It means as follows:- Neither being disappointed nor hopeless as well as not leaving God regardless of anything that we face.
- Not committing sin, but keeping on living in righteousness and holiness.
- Keeping faithful and fervent in spirit in the service and ministry to God.
- Keeping on believing and hoping in God as well as worshiping Him and only stretching out the hands to Him.
Acts 27:18-20
27:18.And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.
27:19 On the third day we threw the ship's tackle overboard with our own hands.
27:20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.
On the last days, we face the storm in the sea of the world in all aspects, namely the problems, false teachings, sins, threats, up to murders which are impossible to finish with all things in the world.
Satan attacks us with the storm of death to make the boat of our life drown in the sea of the world. It begins from being disappointed until leaving God and drowning in the sea of fire and brimstone.
Nevertheless, God lets us face the storm of the sea of the world to make us strong and of good courage, not to drown us.
How is the way?- We must hear and obey the voice of the angel or the shepherding Word.
Acts 27:22-24
27:22."And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
27:23 "For there stood by me this night an angel of the Godto whom I belong and whom I serve,
27:24 "saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
If there is one who is strong and of good courage, the whole family can be saved. Such thing also happens in the shepherding.
The shepherding Word refers to the repeated teaching Word to make us not fall. - Eating the food on the fourteenth day = eating the Passover food.
Acts 27:33-36
27:33.And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth dayyou have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.
27:34 "Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you."
27:35 And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.
27:36 Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves.
Exodus 12:5-6
12:5.'Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
12:6'Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth dayof the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.
It means consuming the Holy Communion.
We only stretch out our hands to God and He stretches out His merciful hands to us, so a piece of hair will not fall from the head.
The results are as follows:- A piece of hair will not fall in the midst of the storm in the sea of the world. It means as follows:
- The merciful hands of God are able to protect and preserve us who are small and powerless in the midst of the difficulties in the world until we get the abundance.
- The merciful hands of God are able to make the wind and waves calm. It means giving us peace, so all things become easy and light.
- The merciful hands of God are able to finish all impossible problems in our life.
- The merciful hands of God are able to protect and preserve us who are small and powerless in the midst of the difficulties in the world until we get the abundance.
- A piece of hair faces the Antichrist who rules over the world.
Matthew 10:29-31
10:29."Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will.
10:30 "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
10:31 "Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
The title is Persecutions Are Coming. It refers to the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years.
The two sparrows refer to the two witnesses of God when the Antichrist reigns over the world. They are Moses and Elijah who will strengthen the sons of God so that they do not worship the Antichrist, but keep strong although they must be beheaded.
We are more than the two sparrows. It means that we are evacuated to the wilderness when the Antichrist reigns over the world. We are directly preserved by God through the teaching Word and Holy Communion. - A piece of hair is for waiting for Jesus' second coming on the glorious clouds.
Psalm 27:14
27:14.Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!
Although we are only a piece of hair, we can wait for Jesus' coming if we are strong and of good courage.
It means that we get the continual renewal until being perfect. We become the heavenly bride who is ready for welcoming Jesus' second coming. We shout for joy saying "Alleluia". We enter the Paradise and New Jerusalem forever.
- The sprinklings of blood.
God blesses you.
