Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14:17-20
14:17. Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
14:18. And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe."
14:19. So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
14:20. And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.
The second harvest is the one of the ripe grapes to be thrown into the great winepress of the wrath of God, so blood comes out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles. The second harvest is for those who reject the sprinkling of blood with Jesus, so their own blood comes out. It means that they experience the great suffering up to perdition forever.
Ephesians 5:18
5:18. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
There are two kinds of wine in the world as follows:
That is why we must receive the wine of Holy Spirit of heaven. How can we receive it? We must work in the vineyard of God. Who may work in the vineyard of God?
Matthew 20:1-7
20:1. "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
20:2. "Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3. "And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
20:4. "and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
20:5. "Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
20:6. "And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
20:7. "They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
God calls the laborers for His vineyard five times as follows:
Matthew 20:12
20:12. "saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
The Gentiles work in the vineyard of God for one hour, namely from the eleventh hour to twelfth hour. The Gentiles can work in the vineyard of God to result in the sweet wine of heaven as follows:
God blesses us.
Revelation 14:17-20
14:17. Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
14:18. And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe."

Ephesians 5:18
5:18. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
There are two kinds of wine in the world as follows:
- The wine of Holy Spirit of heaven.
- The wine of the lust of the flesh as the source of sin, so one is thrown into the great winepress of the wrath of God. The horse refers to the power of the lust of the flesh.
That is why we must receive the wine of Holy Spirit of heaven. How can we receive it? We must work in the vineyard of God. Who may work in the vineyard of God?
Matthew 20:1-7
20:1. "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
20:2. "Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
20:3. "And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
20:4. "and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
20:5. "Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
20:6. "And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
20:7. "They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
God calls the laborers for His vineyard five times as follows:
- Early in the morning(6 a.m.). It refers to those who work based on the promised money. This group refers to the Israelites who work according to the Law.
- The third hour, the sixth hour, and the ninth hour. It is the time of Jesus on the cross. It refers to those who work in the vineyard based on the cross. Christ's sacrifice is God's love to redeem the Israelites who are lost because of breaking the Law.
Mark 15:25,33-34,37
15:25. Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
15:33. Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
15:34. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
15:37. And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
Romans 11:25
11:25. For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
But, a part of the Israelites rejects Jesus who dies on the cross, so there is opportunity for the Gentiles to work in the vineyard of God. - The eleventh hour. It refers to those who work based on God's mercy through the fifth injury that is the biggest and the deepest one, of which blood and water came out to redeem and justify the Gentiles. The blood sign refers to repentance. The water sign refers to the water baptism. After repenting and entering the water baptism, we can be taught to become the servant of God in the vineyard.
Matthew 20:12
20:12. "saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
The Gentiles work in the vineyard of God for one hour, namely from the eleventh hour to twelfth hour. The Gentiles can work in the vineyard of God to result in the sweet wine of heaven as follows:
- The Gentiles work for one hour. What can be done?
Mark 14:32-38
14:32. Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
14:33. And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
14:34. Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
14:35. He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
14:36. And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
14:37. Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
14:38. "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
In one hour, the working of the Gentiles is watching and prayingthat are linked with the Mount of Olives and Gethsemane. It refers to the squeeze. Why do we have to watch and pray for one hour?- Revelation 18:9-10
18:9. "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
18:10. "standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'
We watch and pray for one hour, so we do not fall into the sins of Babylon, namely the sins of eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse) and marrying-giving in marriage (fornication, false marriage, mixed-marriage, et cetera). The servant of God must be watchful. Agreeing the false marriage even just once is the same as putting men into the hell. We need to pray for one hour, so we can keep living in righteousness and holiness, and we are not destroyed with the Babylon in one hour. Be careful! The Babylon also has white linen, but it is not bright. - Mark 14:38
14:38. "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
We watch and pray for one hour, so we do not sin and enter into temptation. We keep living in righteousness and holiness. We do not look for the way which is not according to the word of God. - Mark 14:33-34,36
14:33. And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
14:34. Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
14:36. And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
We watch and pray for one hour to fight against our own will which contradicts the one of God. We watch and pray for one hour to experience the squeeze of the flesh and all of its weaknesses. That is why in pandemic we change our ministry to pray for one hour.
The weakness of the flesh is also exceedingly being sorrowful until we cannot pray and eat; even we ask to die, namely being disappointed, and desperate, having no heavenly bliss, even denying God. We need to watch and pray for asking the heavenly wine, so we can experience peace.
The weakness of the flesh is also disobedience that makes us go out of the rail towards the heavenly kingdom, and the door of heaven is closed for us. Jesus must become obedient to the point of death on the cross to re-open the door of heaven for us.
We need to watch and pray for one hour to experience the squeeze of the flesh (olive) and its weakness to result in Holy Spirit (the olive oil).
The usefulnesses of Holy Spirit are as follows:- Leviticus 24:1-2
24:1. Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
24:2. "Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.
Matthew 25:1
25:1. "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
The oil of Holy Spirit keeps our lamps burning continually to greet Jesus when He comes a second time in the glory of the King of kings and the Heavenly Bridegroom. It is the same as actively ministering the building of the perfect body of Christ.
The facts found in it are as follows:- We do not get disappointed and desperate as well as lag in diligence, but keep on ministering to God faithfully and fervently until Jesus comes a second time.
- We work and minister with the Holy Spirit's gift, namely the miraculous ability of God which is more than our own experience, strength, and cleverness. We watch and pray for one hour a lot, so Holy Spirit makes all things become beautiful. We can do the thing that we cannot do. We keep working with Holy Spirit until God comes a second time.
- We do not demand anything, but have no purpose to get physical advantage; even we willingly suffer like the flax that must become black to keep the lamps burning. Jesus has willingly sacrificed; even He remembers the Gentiles after He dies. Sacrificing is started from returning the possession of God, namely the tithe and special offerings. Further, we sacrifice our time, energy, mind up to our whole life to God.
- We do not get disappointed and desperate as well as lag in diligence, but keep on ministering to God faithfully and fervently until Jesus comes a second time.
- 2 Kings 4:1-7
4:1. A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves."
4:2. So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."
4:3. Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few.
4:4. "And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."
4:5. So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out.
4:6. Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased.
4:7. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."
The oil of Holy Spirit finishes all of problems that hinder our ministry to God as follows:- The problem of marriage and children.
- The problem of economy which is gripped by the Antichrist.
- The problem of heart, namely distress, sadness, weariness, heavy burden, and unhappiness.
Those who experience the problem of marriage-children, economy, and distress are like the smoking flax and bruised reed. Only Holy Spirit can finish, even with the oil reserve. Holy Spirit is able to take care of our life up to the eternal life. - The problem of marriage and children.
- Revelation 18:9-10
- The Gentiles work with God's mercy. It is the same as looking at and lamenting the fifth injury at Jesus' side that was pierced up to His heart. The facts found in it are as follows:
- We must always give thanks to God.
Matthew 20:15,11
20:15. 'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'
20:11. "And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,
The envious heart without a cause because of the physical blessing and God's employment will cause murmuring, gossip, evil-speaking, et cetera. For example, Joseph's brothers envied Joseph. The envious heart and murmuring mouth must be purified. We do not need to become envious because God also uses and blesses us. As long as we can breathe, we may not grumble. We must always give thanks to God like Moses' mother who might breast-feed Moses, even she got the wage. - Confessing and forgiving one another.
James 2:13
2:13. For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
The heart which is without mercy will judge and blame at others.
We must confess and forgive one another. We return to the altar or Christ's sacrifice, so the blood of Jesus forgives our sin. We can live in righteousness or become the righteous. The prayer of the righteous avails much.
James 5:16-18
5:16. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
5:17. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
5:18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
The results are as follows:- The miraculous power of healing both physically and spiritually, namely ill will or broken heart.
- God's protection and preservation powers for us who are small and powerless until the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years. God will take care of us with the Word and Holy Communion.
- We can result the sweet wines, namely the fruit of the Spirit. We return to the image of the Trinity of God like the first creation who is perfect and as glorious as God.
5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
5:23. gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Ecclesiastes 7:29
7:29. Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes."
We become honest and obedient. We willingly bear the cross and experience the sprinkling of blood until the flesh does not speak anymore like Jesus who becomes obedient to the point of death. We do not stumble in words anymore. The sweetest wine is that we can be perfected, so we can greet Jesus when He comes a second time joyfully. We can enter the New Jerusalem forever. - The miraculous power of healing both physically and spiritually, namely ill will or broken heart.
- We must always give thanks to God.
God blesses us.
