Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 16:16
16:16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew,
Armageddon.

Armageddon is the biggest and last battle.

Jeremiah 25:31
25:31 A noise will come to the ends of the earth--For the LORD has a controversy with the nations; He will plead His case with all flesh. He will give those who are wicked to the sword,' says the LORD."

It must happen because it has been prophesied by the prophets in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament.

Amos 3:7-8
3:7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
3:8 A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken! Who can but prophesy?

Prophecy is God's statement about what He will do to His people or it has been told before.
It has not happened yet, but will happen for sure because it has been told first by God to His people.

Hebrews 1:1-2
1:1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
1:2 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;

John 1:1,14
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Revelation 19:10
19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

In the Old Testament, God delivered the prophecy through the prophets with many ways.
In the New Testament, He spoke through His Only Son, namely Jesus Christ, who is logos or the teaching Word which becomes flesh or through the revelation of the Word.

Hebrews 1:1-4
1:1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
1:2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, (1)whom He has appointed heir of all things, (2)through whom also He made the worlds;
1:3 who (3)being the brightness of His glory and (4)the express image of His person, and (5)upholding all things by the word of His power, when (6)He had by Himself purged our sins, (7)sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
1:4 (8)having become so much better than the angels, as (9)He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Jesus is logos or the teaching Word in the nine facts as follows:

  1. He deserves to receive all things.
  2. He makes the worlds.
  3. He is the brightness of God's glory.
  4. He is the express image of God.
  5. He upholds (protects and preserves) all things by the Word of His power.
  6. He has by Himself purged our sins.
  7. He sits down at the right hand of Father God for lifting up the supplication prayer and becoming Pleader for us so that we do not fall in sins as well as lifting us up from the fall in sin.

  8. He has become so much better than the angels.
  9. The name of Jesus is above or far more beautiful than all names.

The number nine refers to the grace of God. Thus, the prophecy that is fulfilled to become the fact in Jesus is the grace of God to us.
Therefore, do not insist the prophesies which God showed in the Old Testament anymore because such thing will make us deceived by the false prophets

Colossians 2:16-17
2:16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,
2:17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

All sacrifices, festival or new moon, Sabbath, and so on have been fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Exodus 20:8-11
20:8 " Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Exodus 31:16-17
31:16 'Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.
31:17 'It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.' "

For example, Sabbath in the Old Testament refers to the covenant for the natives of Israel or the physical descendants of Abraham, namely working is only for six days and the seventh day must be the rest.
Nevertheless, in the New Testament, Sabbath day for us or the spiritual descendants of Abraham through the faith is the rest in Holy Spirit which can happen all the time. We get the rest or peace first and then we can work. We get the rest through making peace or reconciliation and worship prayer.

Revelation 8:1
8:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silencein heaven for about half an hour.

Through the worship prayer that increases until the flesh does not speak or the Veil is torn, we can get the increasing rest up to the silence for half an hour in heaven or the meeting between the Heavenly Bridegroom and the Heavenly Bride.

We are often not quiet when we are facing problems. Working without peace will not result in anything, but destruction.
We must worship God much more and become more silent and God will work.
It continues up to the eternal Sabbath in the New Jerusalem or the eternal heavenly kingdom.

Colossians 2:18-19
2:18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
2:19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

The service to God that prioritizes the physical vision, not the revelation of the Word, does not hold Jesus as the Head and will be easily deceived by the false prophets. Such service does not build the body of Christ, but Babylon.

Colossians 2:20
2:20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations--

The signs of the service that holds to Jesus as the Head are as follows:

  • Being dead with Jesus or beng dead to sin.
    We confess our sins to God and others. Being forgiven, we do not repat the sins.

  • Being raised with Jesus.
    Colossians 3:1
    3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

    Being dead and raised with Jesus is through the true water baltism.

    Romans 6:4
    6:4 Therefore we were buriedwith Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raisedfrom the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

    One who has believed in Jesus and repented or died to sin must be buried in water with Him and come out of water with Him, so the heaven is opened. We get the new life, namely the life in the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we live in righteousness.

    Colossians 3:1-3
    3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
    3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
    3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

    We think and look for the things which are above or the spiritual or the heavenly things more than the things in the world. We fight for the service and ministry to God more than the worldly things.

  • Being glorified with Jesus.
    Colossians 3:4
    3:4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

    We get the sanctification from sins up to the peak, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse as well as the ones concerning marrying-being given in marriage or the fornication between man and woman who are not a legal spouse, pornography, and wrong marriage, so we can live in holiness.
    We become the new man who is obedient until the flesh does not speak and we become the perfect body of Christ.

The prophecies about the battle of Armageddon are as follows.

  1. God takes revenge for the blood of His servants who become martyrs to His enemies.
    Deuteronomy 32:43
    32:43 "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; For He will avenge the blood of His servants, And render vengeanceto His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people."

    Revelation 16:13
    16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

    1 Kings 22:19-24
    22:19 Then Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left.
    22:20 "And the LORD said, 'Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?' So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner.
    22:21 "Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD, and said, 'I will persuade him.'
    22:22 "The LORD said to him, 'In what way?' So he said, 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And the LORD said, 'You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.'
    22:23 "Therefore look! The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has declared disaster against you."
    22:24 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the spirit from the LORD go from me to speak to you?"

    His enemy refers to the unclean spirit coming out of the mouth of the trinity of Satan and the lying spirit from the false prophets that drive the battle of Armageddon. It begins from the quarrel, strife, and hatred, up to murder.

    [Deuteronomy 32:43] Therefore, from now on we must make peace. It begins from the marriage, shepherding, and so on.

  2. The revenge of God to His people who resist against Him.
    Zephaniah 3:8(the punishment over Jerusalem)
    3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," says the LORD, "Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations To My assembly of kingdoms, To pour on them My indignation, All my fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured With the fire of My jealousy.


  3. The battle of Armageddon on the mount Megiddo spreads to the wars all over the world.
    Jeremiah 25:31
    25:31 A noise will come to the ends of the earth--For the LORD has a controversy with the nations; He will plead His case with all flesh. He will give those who are wicked to the sword,' says the LORD."


  4. God makes war with His enemies and prevails.
    Zechariah 14:2-5
    14:2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
    14:3 Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle.
    14:4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south.
    14:5 Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the LORD my God will come, And all the saints with You.


  5. The sun, moon, and stars do not shine anymore.
    Joel 3:2,15
    3:2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
    3:15 The sun and moon will grow dark, And the stars will diminish their brightness.

    Revelation 12:1
    12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.

    It happens because they have been possessed by the Church or the Heavenly Bride as the light of the world.

The signs of the last days and our attitudes towards it are as follows:

  1. The false prophets appear with the spirit of lies and uncleanness that cause the disobedience until the love grows cold, one falls from sin or the true teaching Word, and there is hatred which causes the wars up to the battle of Armageddon.

    Matthew 24:4-12
    24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.
    24:5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
    24:6 "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
    24:8 "All these are the beginning of sorrows.
    24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
    24:10 "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
    24:11 "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
    24:12 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

    Matthew 24:13
    24:13 "But he who enduresto the end shall be saved.

    We must endure in the true shepherding, so we do not give any chance to the trinity of Satan for making us fall in sins and deceiving us. We keep on living in the covering of God's love, protection, and preservation, so we keep on living in righteousness and holding fast the true teaching Word as well as being faithful and fervent in spirit in the service and ministry to God.

  2. Do not be enticed by the false prophets! Do not walk about for looking for the physical things!
    Matthew 24:21-28
    24:21 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
    24:22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.
    24:23 "Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it.
    24:24 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
    24:25 "See, I have told you beforehand.
    24:26 "Therefore if they say to you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it.
    24:27 "For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
    24:28 "For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

    We must be shepherded. We must sit at Jesus' feet for enjoying the true teaching Word that is like the lightnings flashing from the east to the west. We must quickly hear and obey the Bride Tidings.

    Matthew 24:14
    24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

    The teaching Word and the Holy Communion are the food of the eagle or ones who wait for Jesus' second coming to grow our spirituality or sanctify us from all sins, so we can live in holiness. Our two wings of a great eagle become bigger. It is the same as the embrace of the two mercful hands of God to us.

    The functions of the two wings of a great eagle are as follows:

    • Brnging us from Egypt or the world to be closer to God.
      Exodus 19:4
      19:4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.

      We get the serenity and peace in the midst of the shakings in the world. Our life becomes easy and light. We get the joy of heaven.

    • Appointing us as the priests and kings.
      Exodus 19:6
      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."

      A priest is a holy man who bears the ministry from God to be used in the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain for the edification of the perfect Chrst's body. It is the same as placing Jesus as the Head that is responsible for our life until He must die on the hill of Skull.

    • Bringing us to pass through the storm in the sea of the world.
      Revelation 12:14
      12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

      God protects and abundantly preserves our life in the midst of crises in the world up to the time when the Antichrist reigsn over the world, namely we can give thanks and become blessings for others. All impossible problems are solved by God.
      We are evacuated to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the Antichrist who reigns over the world for three and a half years. We are directly preserved by God through the teaching Word and Holy Communion.
      We are lifted up to the glorious clouds or changed from the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Jesus is. We can be strong and of good courage for welcoming Jesus' second coming. We are not disappointed or hopeless and we do not leave God in facing all things.

God blesses you.
