Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 20:11-15
20:11. Then I saw a great white throneand Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
20:12. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
20:13. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
20:14. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15 is about the last punishment that will happen after the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace. A great white throne is Jesus' throne as the Righteous Judge to judge all men who have not finished their sins in the world. They must be punished and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone--the second death--, namely perdition forever in the hell.
That is why, we must judge ourselves from now on, so we are not judged at the white throne and destroyed in the hell. If we judge ourselves now, we will enter the throne of God in the heavenly kingdom. We receive eternal life.
How can we judge ourselves?
Psalm 26:3
26:3. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
If we are purified from sins up to the peak, we will not be disturbed anymore. We can see ourselves with all of our weaknesses. We do not blame at others. We can also see Jesus who sits at the right hand of the Father God or we can worship God. We confess that we are unworthy and incapable, but we just depend on God's mercy.
Luke 7:36-38
7:36. Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.
7:37. And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
7:38. and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.
For example, a woman who was a sinner wanted to hear to Word, so she could realize, regret, confess, and leave her sin. She could worship Jesus with a broken heart. It means seeing Jesus who sits at the right hand of the throne of the Father God. The facts are as follows:
Being at the feet of God is the lowest place. As a result, God will pour out the oil of Holy Spirit to us.
The usefulness of the oil of Holy Spirit is as follows:
When Jesus comes a second time, Holy Spirit will change us up to perfection. We become the heavenly bride who is ready to greet His second coming. We can enter the eternal heavenly kingdom. We do not experience the judgment and punishment.
God blesses us.
Revelation 20:11-15
20:11. Then I saw a great white throneand Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
20:12. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
20:13. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
20:14. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15 is about the last punishment that will happen after the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace. A great white throne is Jesus' throne as the Righteous Judge to judge all men who have not finished their sins in the world. They must be punished and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone--the second death--, namely perdition forever in the hell.
That is why, we must judge ourselves from now on, so we are not judged at the white throne and destroyed in the hell. If we judge ourselves now, we will enter the throne of God in the heavenly kingdom. We receive eternal life.
How can we judge ourselves?
- Hebrews 4:12-13
4:12. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
4:13. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
We judge ourselves by the word of Godthat is living, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, namely the true teaching Word. It pierces and shows the hidden sins up to the depth of our heart and mind.
Mark 7:21-23
7:21. "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries(1), fornications(2), murders(3),
7:22. thefts(4), covetousness(5), wickedness(6), deceit(7), lewdness(8), an evil eye(9), blasphemy(10), pride(11), foolishness(12).
7:23. "All these evil things come from within and defile a man."
The men's heart and mind that tend to do evil continually since the age of Noah consist of the twelve evil desires, unclean desires, and bitterness, so they are perfect in wickedness, uncleanness, and bitterness. They will become the false church who will be destroyed forever.
If we judge ourselves from now on by hearing and obeying the true teaching Word, our heart and mind will be purified from the twelve evil desires, unclean desires, and bitterness, so our heart is filled with the twelve loaves that is are set in two rows, six in a row--66. It refers to the sixty-six books in the Bible. We live in righteousness, holiness, and sincerity--we are holy up to our heart.
Limit our company with the fence of sincerity and truth! If we have the limit, we will always experience the atmosphere of feast. We will always be happy, and we will not be influenced by anything even in the midst of the sufferings in the world as long as we live in truth and sincerity as well as hold fast the true teaching Word.
1 Corinthians 5:8
5:8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Hebrews 12:5-10
12:5. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
12:6. For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives."
12:7. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
12:8. But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
12:9. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
12:10. For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.
The repeated true teaching Word in the congregation is the stretched merciful hand of God to purify and refine them. If the Word is rejected, the rope will be spun to whip, so we return to holiness and righteousness. We are often busy to finish the chastisement but ignore the Word. Actually, the way out is returning to holiness and sincerity, so the chastisement is finished. As soon as we return to the holiness and sincerity, we surely get happy and experience the atmosphere of feast.
If the chastisement is ignored, we will be left by God. Instead, there are many Christians are jealous to the wicked men whereas they are actually left by God. Such life is just waiting for the punishment up to perdition forever. - 1 Corinthians 11:28-31
11:28. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
11:29. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
11:30. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.
11:31. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
We judge ourselves by the Holy Communion. We are happy because in the bible study service we find the teaching Word and Holy Communion. We must examine ourselves by the preaching of the true teaching Word before we eat of the bread and drink of the cup. A child may also receive Holy Communion as long as he is put in order while the Word is being preached, so he can also receive the Word.
The Word shows the hidden sin even the sins we often do not realize, so we can realize, regret, and confess it to God and others. Do not sin anymore after being forgiven! Then we can eat of the bread and drink of the cup. The Holy Communion will become our strength to keep being happy and ministering to God until He comes a second time.
So, we receive the two experiences through the true teaching Word and Holy Communion that we receive in the bible study service and Holy Communion as follows:- It is our exercise for the evacuation to the wilderness, so we are set free from the Antichrist who reigns over the world for three and a half years.
Jesus has willingly become carcass. He dies in curse on the cross to become food for the eagles. - We can judge ourselves, so we can avoid the white throne. We do not need to be judged at the white throne anymore, but we can enter the heavenly kingdom and live forever.
11:29. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
11:30. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.
Be watchful! There are other possibilities as follows:- Receiving Holy Communion unworthily because he does not want to judge himself through the preaching of the Word of God.
The fact is getting sleepy or joking in the preaching of the Word, or the shepherd does not preach the true teaching Word.
Consequently, Holy Communion just becomes a habit. The congregation is sick physically and spiritually. They become weak and unfaithful as well as leave the ministry. They commit sins up to the peak. - Rejecting Holy Communion. It is the same as insulting Christ's sacrifice, so he is weak and sick. He cannot become faithful, but leaves the ministry to God. He commits sins up to the peak.
- It is our exercise for the evacuation to the wilderness, so we are set free from the Antichrist who reigns over the world for three and a half years.
- Psalm 26:2-3
26:2. Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.
26:3. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
We judge ourselves by the examination or the sprinkle of blood. It is the purification to the depths of the heart--the kidney, namely the one of the false teaching.
Revelation 2:20,23-24
2:20. "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
2:23. "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
2:24. "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
The false teachings are as follows:- The teaching of Jezebel, namely the one that allows women to teach and have authority over man. Woman becomes the head. She does not submit to her husband in the marriage and shepherd in the ministry. The true arrangement of the marriage is that Jesus is the head of the marriage, and a husband is the head of his wife. If a wife becomes the head of her husband, the serpent of Satan will become the head of the marriage. For example, Eve became the head of Adam, so their marriage was moved to the atmosphere of curse up to perdition.
- The teaching of Babylon, namely the one that teaches about the physical prosperity--Mammon--and entertainment, even the worldly entertainments are put in the church.
Revelation 17:3-5
17:3. So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
17:5. And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLONTHE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
One hunts for prosperity and entertainment even the fornication. He rejects the purification by the true teaching Word and Holy Communion. He lives without holiness, so the congregation lives in wickedness, uncleanness, and the false marriage namely mixed-marriage, divorce-remarrying, and marrying-giving in marriage up to perdition forever.
The false teaching is against the Bride Tidings that teaches the true, holy, and perfect marriage. - The false teaching that teaches about the depths of Satan and the hell--Satan's house. It is against the Tabernacle teaching--the house of God. The false teaching brings the false spirit, namely the one of lawlessness. Consequently, there are many servants of God who are disobedient and against their parents. The fact is robbing their parents' ministry although they are still alive.
Revelation 2:24
2:24. "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
- The teaching of Jezebel, namely the one that allows women to teach and have authority over man. Woman becomes the head. She does not submit to her husband in the marriage and shepherd in the ministry. The true arrangement of the marriage is that Jesus is the head of the marriage, and a husband is the head of his wife. If a wife becomes the head of her husband, the serpent of Satan will become the head of the marriage. For example, Eve became the head of Adam, so their marriage was moved to the atmosphere of curse up to perdition.
Psalm 26:3
26:3. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
If we are purified from sins up to the peak, we will not be disturbed anymore. We can see ourselves with all of our weaknesses. We do not blame at others. We can also see Jesus who sits at the right hand of the Father God or we can worship God. We confess that we are unworthy and incapable, but we just depend on God's mercy.
Luke 7:36-38
7:36. Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.
7:37. And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
7:38. and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.
For example, a woman who was a sinner wanted to hear to Word, so she could realize, regret, confess, and leave her sin. She could worship Jesus with a broken heart. It means seeing Jesus who sits at the right hand of the throne of the Father God. The facts are as follows:
- Washing Jesus' feet with tears. It means that we can confess our sin to God and others, so we are forgiven by God. We ask His mercy, so we can be forgiven. Confessing sin is the shortest way to be helped by God.
- Wiping Jesus' feet with the hair. The hair is a pride of woman. The hair is used to wipe the feet. It means that there is no more thing of which we are proud when we are broken hearted at Jesus' feet. We may have something of which we are proud, but we do not rely on anything in the world. We feel that we are weak and powerless. We just hope God's mercy.
- Kissing Jesus' feet. It means making peace with God and others. We confess our sin to God and others. We forgive others' sin and forget it. As a result, the blood of Jesus takes away our sins, so we experience peace.
Being at the feet of God is the lowest place. As a result, God will pour out the oil of Holy Spirit to us.
The usefulness of the oil of Holy Spirit is as follows:
- Titus 3:5
3:5. not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewingof the Holy Spirit,
Holy Spirit renews us from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like Jesus. We can become obedient and faithful until the flesh does not speak anymore. As the member of the body, we are obedient and faithful to the Head, namely Jesus. The obedience and faithfulness are the key to the success of our ministry to God. The intelligence, riches, position, and stupidity do not determine our success in the ministry. - Matthew 7:24-25
7:24. "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
7:25. "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
If we are obedient and faithful, we will become the building that endures, so we do not fall easily. We will be used to minister according to the ministry and gift that God gives for us.
Deuteronomy 11:13
11:13. ' And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
God will give us grain, wine, and oil. God is able to take care of us physically and spiritually in the midst of the difficulties of the world until the age of the Antichrist. Holy Spirit always satisfies us. We do not need to look for the false satisfaction in the world. We can always give thanks to God. We will never fall into the sin of Babylon. - 2 Corinthians 2:14
2:14. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
Holy Spirit uses us to become God's witness to bring His fragrance wherever He sends us. We bring the Gospel Word to those who have not believed in Jesus, so they can believe in Jesus and be saved. Further, we bring the teaching Word to the saved people, so they can be purified up to perfection.
Bringing the fragrance of Christ is the same as being in triumph in Jesus. Holy Spirit is able to give us the winning over the enemies, namely the trinity of Satan. The trinity of Satan is the source of impossibility. Holy Spirit is able to finish all of impossible problems. The decay is changed into fragrance, namely we are used by God. Failure becomes success and beauty. One who is in the fear and worry can become happy and peaceful, so all things become easy and light.
When Jesus comes a second time, Holy Spirit will change us up to perfection. We become the heavenly bride who is ready to greet His second coming. We can enter the eternal heavenly kingdom. We do not experience the judgment and punishment.
God blesses us.
