Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 9:13-21 is about the sixth trumpet or the sixth condemnation of Son of God to men in the earth, so a third of mankind will die and perish in hell because of the great war.
Revelation 9:16-19
9:16 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
9:18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed--by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.
9:19 For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
It is called a great war because of the following things:
The fire, smoke, and brimstone come out from the mouth of the horse. Those are the weapons which are used in the great war as follows:
ad. 3 The Brimstone.
Revelation 20:10,14
20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever
20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Spiritually, the brimstone refers to the death which works silently and unrealizable through the false teachings which destroy all of us.
Galatians 5:9
5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
A little leaven of the false teaching will destroy the church of God.
There are some kinds of the leaven or the false teaching as follows:
God blesses you.
Revelation 9:13-21 is about the sixth trumpet or the sixth condemnation of Son of God to men in the earth, so a third of mankind will die and perish in hell because of the great war.
Revelation 9:16-19

9:19 For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
It is called a great war because of the following things:
- It involves two hundred million armies of the horsemen.
- The victims are a third of mankind in the world.
The fire, smoke, and brimstone come out from the mouth of the horse. Those are the weapons which are used in the great war as follows:
- The firearms.
Physically, the firearms were used in the first world war.
Spiritually, it refers to the tongue which is ruled by the trinity of Satan to kill the body, soul, and spirit of men. - The smoke.
Physically, the smoke or the atomic bomb and nuclear were used in the second world war.
Spiritually, it refers to the sins up to the peak, namely the sins of eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage which go up to the presence of God, so He comes down with the condemnation which destroys men. - The brimstone.
Physically, it is a biologic weapon which will be used in the third world war.
ad. 3 The Brimstone.
Revelation 20:10,14
20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever
20:14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Galatians 5:9
5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
A little leaven of the false teaching will destroy the church of God.
There are some kinds of the leaven or the false teaching as follows:
- The leaven of the Sadducees.
Acts 23:8
23:8 For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection--and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.
It is the false teaching which teaches that there are no resurrection, angel, and spirit. So, men are only blood or soul and flesh or body and there is no spirit which returns to God.
1 Corinthians 15:32
15:32 If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"
Consequently, it makes men including the servant and the minister of God only pursue the physical or the fleshly things although by the illegal way and serve and minister to God only to look for the physical things and without sanctification. So, they do the sins up to the peak, namely the sins of eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage until they enter the edification of the Babylon. - The leaven of Pharisees.
Mark 10:1
10:1 Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.
In the service and ministry in the shepherding system, a pastor is given a wisdom to distinguish between the true teaching and the false one, so he can feed the congregation doubly as follows:- The gospel word or the milk for the new congregation.
- The teaching word or the solid food for the people who have heard the gospel word to grow and sanctify them until they are as perfect as Jesus.
If the pastor does not want to have the fellowship with the true teaching, the false one will enter the church of God.
Mark 10:2-9
10:2 The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him.
10:3 And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?"
10:4 They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her."
10:5 And Jesus answered and said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
10:6 "But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.'
10:7 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
10:8 'and the two shall become one flesh';so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
10:9 "Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
The leaven of Pharisees is the false teaching which lets the divorce-remarrying happen.
If one divorces, the husband or the head is separated from the wife or the body. It means death If he marries again with other woman, he is rotten.
If the divorce-remarrying happens the marrying-being given in marriage until the free sex will also happen. - The gospel word or the milk for the new congregation.
- The leaven of Herod.
It refers to the following things.- The leaven of lie or hatred.
It aims to the false worship.
Matthew 2:7-9,12-13
2:7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared.
2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also."
2:9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
2:12 Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.
2:13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him."
When there are lie and hatred, the service and ministry to God as well as the worship are false.
Revelation 19:1,3-4,6
19:1 After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!
19:3 Again they said, "Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!"
19:4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, "Amen! Alleluia!"
19:6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
The worship in heaven is the one with "Alleluia". It is repeated three times. It refers to the worship to the trinity of God in Jesus.
The true worship in the world must be the same as the heavenly one until the great one in the glorious clouds by saying "Alleluia" together with all nations in the world happens. - The leaven of arrogance.
Being arrogant means as follows:- Making the wrong things true and the true things wrong or using the self-truth.
Acts 12:21-23
12:21 So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them.
12:22 And the people kept shouting, "The voice of a god and not of a man!"
12:23 Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.
Being arrogant means not confessing the true thing.
One who is arrogant will fall for sure, but one who is humble will be exalted in due time. - Being unfaithful until leaving the service and ministry to God.
Acts 12:1-3
12:1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.
12:2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
12:3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.
Actually, the people who can be the priest and king are only the Israelites and their descendants. So, the price of being the priest and king for Gentiles is the blood of Jesus that cannot be paid with anything. Leaving the service and ministry to God means the arrogance. - Not being obedient and shepherded because of relying to own power.
1 Peter 5:5
5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." - Making oneself the same as God by his own way, even by doing sin. It refers to the false changing because it prioritizes the physical things.
Acts12:23
12:22 And the people kept shouting, "The voice of a god and not of a man!"
12:23 Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.
- Making the wrong things true and the true things wrong or using the self-truth.
- Building the Babylon which will be destroyed forever.
- Being struck by the angel until being dead and eaten by the worms in hell forever.
14:11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, And the sound of your stringed instruments; The maggot is spread under you, And worms cover you.'
Isaiah 66:24
66:24 "And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh."
The aim of our service and ministry to God is to become as glorious as Him to be worthy of being lifted up on the glorious clouds with Him forever.
The way is being shepherded well and correctly or persevering in the three main services to God as follows:- The Golden Candlestick refers to perseverance in doing the General Service to get the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the anointing and gifts of Holy Spirit. We drink spiritually.
- The Table of Showbread refers to perseverance in doing the Bible Study Service and Holy Communion to get the fellowship with the Son of God in the true teaching word and sacrifice of Christ. We eat spiritually.
- The Golden Altar of Incense refers to perseverance in doing the Prayer Service to get the fellowship with Father God in His love. We breathe with the eternity love of God.
John 10:24,27,32,35-36,31
10:24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly."
10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
10:32 Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?"
10:35 "If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken).
10:36 "do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
The skin of feel (verse 24) is struck or sanctified so that we can trust the true teaching word.
The ears (verse 27) are struck or sanctified so that we only hear and obey the true teaching word.
The eyes (verse 32) are struck or sanctified so that we only look at Jesus who is miraculous and change the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Him.
The mouth (verse 35-36) is struck or sanctified so that we confess Jesus as Messiah or the Living Son of God. The proof is that our mouth can confess our sins to God and other people. After being forgiven, we do not do the sins anymore.
The nose (verse 31)is struck or sanctified so that we only smell the incense. It means that we only worship God and lift up our hands to surrender fully to Him and do neither look for the sins of other people nor stone others.
1 Timothy 2:8
2:8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
Worshiping God means that we surrender fully to Him and struggle with Him. So, He struggles with us and stretches His right hand to hold all of us.
Genesis 32:24
32:24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
Jacob humbled himself lowly. He had to struggle for himself and his family.
Isaiah 41:13-14
41:13 For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'
41:14 "Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you," says the LORD And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Let us struggle much before God, confessing that we are only like the weak worm, so He will hold us with His powerful right hand.
The results are as follows:- God preserves and protects our life physically and spiritually.
Psalms 16:11
16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. - God is able to help us. The impossible thing becomes possible.
Psalms 118:15-16
118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
There is also victory for the salvation of family, and over the fear, weariness, heavy burden, and stress. All things become peaceful, easy, and light.
Jacob also got the new name, from Jacob or the liar to Israel or the winner. There is life renewal.
It continuous until we are changed to be as glorious as God and worthy to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds.
- The leaven of lie or hatred.
God blesses you.
