Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:15-19 is about the sound of the seventh trumpet or the last one.
The seventh trumpet presents three things as follows:
ad. 2.
Revelation 11:18
11:18. The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should rewardYour servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
The trumpet refers to the true and hard teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword and sounded repeatedly. It is the same as the Bride Tidings or shepherding word. This is the food for the congregation to strengthen and grow their spirituality to maturity up to perfection.
The seventh trumpet presents God's wrath to the world and those who deserve to be destroyed by the three times seven punishments, doomsday up to the hell forever. But, He also gives reward to those who are worthy to receive it, namely the one in the world up to eternal life in heaven.
So, the seventh trumpet presents God as the righteous Judge and firm separation between the servant of God who hears and obeys the Bride Tidings, so he is worthy to receive reward from God and the one who deserves to receive God's wrath up to the hell forever.
The separation in the shepherding has been prophesied in the book of Ezekiel.
There are two separations in the book of Ezekiel as follows:
God blesses us.
Revelation 11:15-19 is about the sound of the seventh trumpet or the last one.
The seventh trumpet presents three things as follows:
- Verse 15-17 is about Jesus, who will come a second time on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King of all kings and the Heavenly Bridegroom for establishing or restoring the heavenly kingdom in the world, namely the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace (the upcoming Paradise) and the heavenly kingdom or the eternal New Jerusalem (it has been explained).
- God's wrath to the world
Revelation 11:18
11:18. The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth." - The ark of covenant that refers to the perfect church or the heavenly bride.
Revelation 11:19
11:19. Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
ad. 2.
Revelation 11:18
11:18. The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should rewardYour servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
The trumpet refers to the true and hard teaching word that is sharper than any two-edged sword and sounded repeatedly. It is the same as the Bride Tidings or shepherding word. This is the food for the congregation to strengthen and grow their spirituality to maturity up to perfection.
The seventh trumpet presents God's wrath to the world and those who deserve to be destroyed by the three times seven punishments, doomsday up to the hell forever. But, He also gives reward to those who are worthy to receive it, namely the one in the world up to eternal life in heaven.
So, the seventh trumpet presents God as the righteous Judge and firm separation between the servant of God who hears and obeys the Bride Tidings, so he is worthy to receive reward from God and the one who deserves to receive God's wrath up to the hell forever.
The separation in the shepherding has been prophesied in the book of Ezekiel.
There are two separations in the book of Ezekiel as follows:
- The separation between rams and goats.
Ezekiel 34:17-19
34:17. 'And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.
34:18. "Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture--and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet?
34:19. "And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet."
The goats refer to a selfish man. His life or his heart is not shepherded. He hears many false teachings including the sound of the flesh.
The facts found in it are as follows:- Fouling the true teaching word with wrong behavior, company, and words.
- Becoming a stumbling-block, so another son of God is unwilling and unable to receive the true teaching word to be brought to the building of the perfect body of Christ.
Matthew 18:6
18:6. "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
If one becomes a stumbling-block, his life will not become beautiful but weary, heavy laden, and laborious until he is drowned in the depth of the sea. He experiences physical and spiritual deterioration until he falls into the sin of Babylon and drowns in the lake of fire and brimstone forever.
Revelation 18:21
18:21. Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.
The fact found in it is hearing and obeying the true teaching word.
Titus 2:7,10
2:7. in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
2:10. not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of Godour Savior in all things.
Being honest in teaching means that we support the true one and reject the false one.
First, we must be honest, and then we can become obedient. It is the same as adorning the teaching and our life will be adorned to become beautiful.
1 Peter 3:3-4
3:3. Do not let your adornmentbe merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--
3:4. rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
Our adornment is being gentle, quiet, and submissive. We are built to become the body of Christ and our life will become really beautiful. All things become easy and light. - Fouling the true teaching word with wrong behavior, company, and words.
- The separation betweenthe fat and the lean sheep.
Ezekiel 34:20-21
34:20. 'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD to them: "Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.
34:21. "Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad,
This separation consists of the things as follows:- 'you have pushed with side'.
The fat sheep refers to a selfish man, namely using side/stomach to push others like Joseph's brothers to Joseph.
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.
Using side or stomach means following God only to seek for worldly things, so he does not want to suffer in flesh with Jesus. He does not want to sacrifice for God and others, but sacrifices them.
Consequently, he becomes arbitrary and unfair to others who are weaker, so he is punished by God. God does not keep silent.
The lean sheep refers to the love.
Joseph is the image of the lean sheep. It means that he tears his flesh. He willingly bears the cross and sacrifices all things for God and others. It is the same as the robe's being dipped in blood. Do not be afraid! There is the crown of the glory of God behind the sprinkle of blood. - 'you have pushed with shoulder'.
Ezekiel 34:21
34:21. "Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad,
The fat sheep refers to a selfish man. It is the image of Joseph's brothers.
The fact found in it is that one is not faithful or responsible in the ministry and marriage.
Genesis 37:12-17
37:12. Then his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
37:13. And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." So he said to him, "Here I am."
37:14. Then he said to him, "Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me." So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.
37:15. Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, "What are you seeking?"
37:16. So he said, "I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks."
37:17. And the man said, "They have departed from here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.' " So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
Shechem means the shoulder or responsibility.
Dothan means the feast.
The fat sheep is not responsible because of seeking the happiness of the world or flesh that contradicts with the happiness of God.
Being unfaithful is the same as the wicked and lazy servant. He does evil to the weaker. He cannot do a good thing until he returns evil for good like Satan.
Matthew 25:26,30
25:26. "But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
25:30. 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
The wicked and lazy servant is useless.
Consequently, he lives in the darkness (fear and stress), weeping and gnashing of teeth, up to perdition.
The lean sheep refers to the love.
The fact found in it is being faithful and responsible in the ministry to God and marriage, starting from the beginning of marriage and the engagement.
The ministry and marriage are two big secrets.
Matthew 25:21
25:21. "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
Being faithful and responsible is the same as being the faithful and good servant.
As a result, we experience the heavenly bliss from now on in the world that cannot be influenced by anything. We are used in the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain, starting from marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding. - 'you have pushed the weak ones with your horns'.
Ezekiel 34:21
34:21. "Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad,
The fat sheep does not obey the voice of the shepherd but gores.
In the past time, Adam and Eve did not obey God in one thing only.
Consequently, they became naked, lied, and fell into the sin of Babylon, namely sin of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage, so they became Satan's bride who will be destroyed forever.
Genesis 37:13
37:13. And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." So he said to him, "Here I am."
The lean sheep becomes obedient no matter risk may come until the flesh does not speak anymore like Jesus who becomes obedient to the point of death on the cross.
Obedience means that we do not compromise, cover, and agree sins.
Genesis 37:2
37:2. This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
Joseph lived in righteousness and holiness. This is the image of one who is shepherded well and correctly, so God is with him, and he is used to face the famine in the world.
Genesis 41:49
41:49. Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
Joseph gathered very much grain up to immeasurable quantity.
The immeasurable quantity means being repeated. This is the importance of the abundant shepherding word or the Bride Tidings.
God allows the famine to happen to us, so we can prove that our life depends on how much the Bride Tidings we gather and practice in our everyday life.
Do not trample Joseph's grain!
Do not get bored or insult the teaching word!
If we get bored as well as insult the teaching word, we will fall into famine and the hand of the Antichrist.
Let the word be in our heart, so we can fight against the crisis on the last days. By the Holy Communion, we hold the word until our flesh does not speak anymore.
Where there is the grain of Joseph, there is God's care. He remembers up to the depths of our heart, cares, and struggles for us.
The functions of the grain of Joseph are as follows:- The practiced Bride Tidings is able to take care of our life from physical and spiritual famines.
Genesis 41:56-57
41:56. The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
41:57. So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.
The spiritual famine refers to dissatisfaction; so many servants of God look for satisfaction in the world that aims at the sin of Babylon.
God keeps taking care of our spirituality, so we experience the heavenly satisfaction. - The Bride Tidings speaks roughly and snaps.
It means purifying us up to the depth of our heart, so we become honest or sincere until we testify and worship God.
Genesis 42:7,9,11
42:7. Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. Then he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."
42:9. Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!"
42:11. "We are all one man's sons; we are honest men; your servants are not spies."
Honesty or sincerity is the same as becoming the house of prayer. We just worship God.
Do not be a spy!
There are many servants of God who become the spies to watch others' weakness. It results in gossip, evil speaking, and blasphemy or dishonesty.
In the past days, the scribe watched Jesus. We also often look for God's weakness, so we do not have the words of faith but become doubt.
Tonight, let us believe that God is able to purify and change us.
Nothing is impossible for Him.
We keep making effort, but we keep hoping and trusting Him until we can worship Him. He determines everything.
We are purified until our mouth just says "Alleluia". - The Bride Tidings has the power or resurrection.
Genesis 50:24-25
50:24. And Joseph said to his brethren, "I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."
The bones refer to the power of resurrection.
Exodus 13:19
13:19. And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you."
The power of resurrection is able to take away impossibility, raise the thing that has already been dead, finish all impossible problems until all things become beautiful and successful in due time, and we become the special person, namely the heavenly bride.
Genesis 49:26
49:26. The blessings of your father Have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separatefrom his brothers.
We become the heavenly bride who is ready to greet Jesus who comes a second time. We sit together with Him on the throne of heaven forever.
- The practiced Bride Tidings is able to take care of our life from physical and spiritual famines.
- 'you have pushed with side'.
God blesses us.
