Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 10 in Tabernacle arrangement refers to the seven sprinklings of blood on the mercy seat.
The Ark of the Covenant consists of two parts as follows:
Leviticus 16:14
16:14. "He shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seaton the east side; and before the mercy seathe shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
Actually, there are two times of the seven sprinklings of blood as follows:
God blesses you.
Revelation 10 in Tabernacle arrangement refers to the seven sprinklings of blood on the mercy seat.
The Ark of the Covenant consists of two parts as follows:
- The mercy seat which is made of pure gold. It refers to the Lord Jesus Christ.
- The ark which is made of shittim wood overlaid with gold inside and out. It refers to the perfect church.
Leviticus 16:14
16:14. "He shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seaton the east side; and before the mercy seathe shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
Actually, there are two times of the seven sprinklings of blood as follows:
- The seven sprinklings of blood on the mercy seat that refer to the suffering of Jesus to be obedient and faithful until being dead in curse on the cross.
What for?- For the Gentiles' receiving the physical and spiritual blessings of Abraham.
Galatians 3:13-14
3:13. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"),
3:14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Matthew 3:7-11
3:7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
3:8 "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
3:9 "and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
3:10 "And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
The process of the Gentiles' receiving the blessings of Abraham is as follows:- The Gentiles must be meek to be able to believe Jesus as the only Savior.
- Repenting or stopping sinning and being dead to sin.
- Being baptized of water. The Gentiles who have repented must be buried in water with Jesus to rise from the water with Him and get the new life, namely the one in righteousness. Living in righteousness is the same as living by faith.
- Being baptized of Holy Spirit. We can say "Abba, Father" and obey God.
19:6. 'And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."
Actually, only the genuine Israelites deserve to be the priests and kings.
1 Peter 2:9-10
2:9. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
2:10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
According to the genealogy, the Gentiles cannot be the priests and kings. But, by the sacrifice of Christ, the Gentiles can be the spiritual descendants of Abraham, the priests and kings, or the living stones. - The Gentiles must be meek to be able to believe Jesus as the only Savior.
- For the edification of the perfect body of Christ.
John 2:19-21
2:19. Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
2:20 Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"
2:21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
The physical temple was built according to the law for forty six years, so the Gentiles cannot enter it.
Jesus builds the spiritual temple in three days. It refers to the suffering of Jesus until He dies on the cross and is rises, so the Gentiles can enter the spiritual temple.
Thus, both the Israelites and Gentiles can be one perfect body of Christ.
- For the Gentiles' receiving the physical and spiritual blessings of Abraham.
- The seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant.
It refers to the suffering of the church, namely the one in the flesh for being obedient and faithful until the flesh does not speak anymore. It is useful so that we can enter the edification of the perfect body of Christ or become the heavenly bride.
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.
Who may serve in the edification of the perfect body of Christ? The living stones, the royal priesthood, or the priests and kings from the genuine Israelites and the Gentiles may.
The priests and kings refer to ones who have the ministry from God.
A priest must live in holiness and the anointing of Holy Spirit.
How can we live in holiness?
Leviticus 21:12
21:12. 'nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
A priest must dwell in the Holy Place. It means being shepherded well and correctly or persevering in doing the three main services to God.
In the shepherding pen, our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God, so we cannot be touched by the trinity of Satan. We can live in the increasing holiness and anointing up to the perfection.
Psalm 84:10
84:10. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
As a result, we will always long for enjoying the service and ministry to God.
Isaiah 5:7
5:7. For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.
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.
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,
Moreover, we are entrusted with the ministry and sooner or later our life will be beautiful.
Haggai 1:1-4
1:1. In the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
1:2 "Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: 'This people says, "The time has not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built."'"
1:3 Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
1:4 "Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?"
Being the priests and kings, we must be active in the ministry of the edification of the perfect body of Christ. Do not be captivated or colonized again by anything in the world.
The signs of being captivated by something in the world are as follows:- Not being faithful in serving and ministering to God or always postponing the work of God.
- Lingering with many reasons.
- Being in physical and spiritual ruin or destruction.
- Being in the difficulties of daily life. All efforts become in vain.
Haggai 1:6
1:6. "You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes." - Being dry spiritually.
Haggai 1:10-11
1:10. "Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
1:11 "For I called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands."
It means that one is never satisfied.
It is better to keep silent much, do the introspection in our life, and always give thanks to God.
2:6. "For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;
2:7. 'and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts.
2:21. "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: 'I will shake heaven and earth.
2:22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots And those who ride in them; The horses and their riders shall come down, Every one by the sword of his brother.
The edification of the temple is in the atmosphere of crisis or shaking.
It is written twice. Thus, it has been legalized and will happen for sure.
There are three kinds of shaking or crisis as follows:- In heaven.
Revelation 12:3
12:3. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
Satan with the unclean spirits work, so many households are destroyed by the sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
Satan with the spirits of rebellion work, so there is hatred in the marriage, the husband does bitterly towards the wife, and the wife cannot obey the husband. - On earth.
Revelation 13:11
13:11. Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.
False prophets with the spirits of lying and false teachings work to make men worship the idol. - In the sea.
Revelation 13:1
13:1.And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.
The Antichrist with the evil spirits or the will of money work to cause stinginess and greediness. Being stingy, one cannot give to other people and the work of God. Being greedy, one steals the possession of God and others.
Haggai 2:7
2:7. 'and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts.
All things will be shaken, but we will keep silent. This is the promise of God.
Why does God let the edification of the temple happen in the time of crisis? To make us only hope in Him fully.
Genesis 22:14
22:14. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of The LORD it shall be provided."
We meet Jehovah Jireh or the Lord who provides the thing which does not exist.
Revelation 19:7
19:7. "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
It continues until He provides us to the His perfect bride.
Our attitudes in the edification of the body of Christ must be as follows:- Being holy and fervent in spirit by the encouragement of the true teaching Word and the Holy Communion.
Haggai 1:14
1:14. So the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
Luke 24:32
24:32. And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" - Being strong and of good courage by the encouragement of Holy Spirit.
Haggai 2:4
2:4. 'Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says the LORD; 'and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,' says the LORD, 'and work; for I am with you,' says the LORD of hosts.
Ephesians 3:16
3:16. that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
It means not being disappointed nor hopeless and not leaving God nor being afraid regardless of anything we must face. We are not proud of anything we have received. We always give thanks to God. We endure until the end line, namely we pass away or Jesus comes a second time.
- The Word and Holy Spirit are the two wings of a great eagle which are useful for these things:
- Evacuating us to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the Antichrist who reigns over the world for three and a half years. We are preserved directly by God through the teaching Word and Holy Communion.
- Lifting us up to the glorious clouds for welcoming Jesus' second coming.
- Evacuating us to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the Antichrist who reigns over the world for three and a half years. We are preserved directly by God through the teaching Word and Holy Communion.
- If we serve to God in holiness, faithfulness, and fervency in spirit, there will be the glory of God or "shekinah glory".
2 Chronicles 15:7
15:7. "But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!"
Haggai 1:8
1:8. "Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified," says the LORD.
Isaiah 52:13-14
52:13. Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
52:14 Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men;
We get the spiritual miracle, namely the renewal of life from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like Jesus. It begins from honesty or not lying. We can be honest in the teaching and confessing sins. The physical miracles will also happen.
Exodus 14:16,21
14:16. "But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.
John 11:39-40
11:39. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
11:40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
- Not being faithful in serving and ministering to God or always postponing the work of God.
God blesses you.
