Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 22:3 22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.The leaves of the tree refer to Jesus' body and blood for the healing of the nations, namely the physical and spiritual diseases. The spiritual disease is the sins up to the peak which have become the characteristic.
As a result, there shall be no more curse. Our relationship with God is restored. We can feel the atmosphere of the throne of God.
God shows His throne three times as follows:
- God's feet stood on the place which as it were a paved work of sapphire stone.
Exodus 24:9-10
24:9. Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
24:10. and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity.
John 14:6
14:6. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Now, it refers to the life journey to the throne of God through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. It is the same as the cross journeyor the journey on a paved work of sapphire stone.
1 Peter 2:21-24
2:21. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
2:22. "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";
2:23. who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;
2:24. who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.
Jesus becomes the example of the cross journey, and He gives us His steps, namely the ones of death and resurrection. In the journey to the throne of heaven, we must follow His steps as follows:
- The step of death. It means being dead to sin or repenting. We do not commit sin, starting from lie.
- The step of resurrection. It means living for righteousness. We put away all things that are not true in our life.
The journey of following Jesus' steps to the throne of heaven starts from the true water baptism.
Romans 6:4
6:4. Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
One who has died to sin or repented must be buried in the water with Jesus and come out or rise from water with Him--the heavens are opened--to receive new life or the heavenly one. We feel the atmosphere of the throne of heaven.
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 consciencetoward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
We experience the renewal of heart to become a good conscience, namely obedience.
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 of having the good conscience are as follows:
- Living for righteousness.
1 Peter 2:24-25
2:24. who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.
2:25. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
We experience the power of God's stripes to heal the physical, spiritual, and mental diseases.
- Walking with God. It means being shepherded well and correctly or the perseverance in committing the three kinds of main service to God.
- Becoming a just man or being honest. It is the same as becoming the house of prayer.
As a result, we can shine in the midst of the darkness on the last days. We glorify God as well as become the blessing for others. It continues up to perfection, namely we become the light of the world.
- The throne of God on the Ark of Covenant.
Exodus 25:21-22
25:21. "You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you.
25:22. "And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
On the mercy seat between the two cherubim, God gave His Word to Moses and the Israelites.
Hebrews 1:1-2
11:1. God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
11:2. has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
On the last days, God speaks to us by His son, Jesus. It is the voice of the Son of God or Jesus' own Word, namely the Word whose secret is revealed through one verse that explains the other verses in the Holy Bible.
John 5:24-25
5:24. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
5:25. "Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
When we hear and obey God's Word, we have passed from death into life. We are dead to sin and living in righteousness.
John 15:3
15:3. "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
We are purified from sin, so we live in holiness.
1 Corinthians 10:1-11
10:1. Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,
10:2. all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
10:3. all ate the same spiritual food,
10:4. and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
10:5. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
10:6. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
10:7. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
10:8. Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;
10:9. nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;
10:10. nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
10:11. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
We are purified from the five sins that killed many people in the wilderness. Only few men are well pleased before God.
The five sins are as follows:
- Worshipping the golden calf. It refers to the hardness of the heart or disobedience.
- The sin of eating-drinking, namely smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse.
- The fornication sin, marrying-giving in marriage, and pornography.
- Tempting God.
Numbers 21:4-6
21:4. Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way.
21:5. And the people spoke against God and against Moses: "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread."
21:6. So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.
Loathing the manna means rejecting the true teaching Word, so one is bitten by the fiery serpents. The venom refers to the false teaching, gossip, et cetera.
- Grumbling, gossiping, slandering, and blaspheming.
As a result, we can live in holiness.
Exodus 29:1a
29:1. "And this is what you shall do to them to hallow them for ministering to Me as priests: ...
We are appointed as the priests and kings, so we are equipped with the ministry and Holy Spirit. It means having the tunic of many colors.
1 Peter 2:5
2:5. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
We are used in the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain, namely the building of the body of Christ.
Revelation 4:5-6
4:5. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
4:6. Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
Holy Spirit is poured out from the throne of God. In the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain, a priest is filled and anointed by Holy Spirit with His seven manifestations until He overflows in him.
The results are as follows:
- The eyes are opened to see God's field.
John 4:35
4:35. "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
- The revival is like the lightnings. It means we must do the encouragement from God quickly. Do not delay!
- The thunderings. It means that it cannot be blocked by anything.
- Seven lamps of fire are burning. It means that we minister to God fervently until the finish line.
- The throne of God is the humble andbroken heart.
Isaiah 57:15
57:15. For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Matthew 21:43-44
21:43. "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of
21:44. "And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."
It is the same as appreciating Christ's sacrifice or falling on the stone.
The facts found in it are as follows:
- Willingly suffering in the flesh to stop sinning or repent by confessing the sin to God and other. Do not sin anymore after being forgiven! We confess that we are incapable.
- Willingly suffering in the flesh without sin or experiencing the sprinkle of blood, so the shekinah glory happens. We are changed form the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like Jesus. It is the same as yielding the sweet grapes.
- Totally surrendering to Christ's sacrifice. It means obeying God until the flesh does not speak anymore.
It is the same as stretching out our hand to God, and He will stretch out His merciful hand to us.
Romans 8:32
8:32. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
God protects and takes care of us. He does anything that we need.
God blesses us.
