Psalm 37:34-40
37:34Wait on the LORD, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a native green tree.
37:36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37:37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace.
37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble.
37:40 And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him.

On the last days, wickedness, evil, and difficulties increase and our daily needs do too. Nevertheless, the thing we need the most is the protection of God [verse 39].

Ecclesiastes 7:12
7:12 For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

The protection of God is the same as the one of wisdom, namely the protection of God through the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword or the Bride Tidings that is heard and obeyed.

The protection of wisdom is able to preserve the life of those who have it. It means that we can live in righteousness, peace, sincerity, and honesty. We become the house of prayer and God answers all of our prayers. He pleads, protects, and preserves us in the midst of the difficulties in the world until the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years. The protection of money is different because it cannot protect us from the Antichrist.

God sanctifies and renews us until we are perfect.

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

Revelation 18:21-24 - Finality of Babylon's Fall or the judgment to Babylon until perishing forever.

Revelation 18:22
18:22 "The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.

Babylon or the world on the last days is without sound or the Word.

Revelation 18:23
18:23 "The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

Babylon or the world on the last days is without light or the anointing of Holy Spirit.

Thus, Babylon or the world on the last days is without or rejects the Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit or the Word which is revealed by Holy Spirit through a verse that explains other verses in the Bible. Such is the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword, the Bride Tidings, or the voice of the Bridegroom. Without sanctification, one will only commit the sins of evil, uncleanness, and bitterness. There is no voice of the bride who testifies and worships God.

Revelation 18:24
18:24 "And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth."

It continues until murdering the prophets, saints, and all people because of the hatred without a cause.

Matthew 14:3-4,10
14:3 For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
14:4 Because John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
14:10 So he sent and had John beheaded in prison.

John the Baptist refers to the honest servant of God saying "true" if "true" and "false" if "false".
King Herod did not want to be rebuked by the Bride Tidings, so he laid hold of, bound, and put John the Baptist in prison, and killed him.

The attitude towards the Bride Tidings determines the destiny of our life. There are three attitudes towards the Bride Tidings as follows:

  1. The attitudes of Herod and his family.

    • The attitudes of Herod as a husband.
      Matthew 14:1-5
      14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus
      14:2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."
      14:3 For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
      14:4 Because John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
      14:5 And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.


      Mark 6:17-20
      6:17 For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.
      6:18 For John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
      6:19 Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;
      6:20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

      He was doubtful. He was glad hearing the Word, but he was angry when it pointed at his sin. Be careful of the voice of the people outside us as well as the closest people like our family who can make us doubtful! Be careful also of the voice inside us, namely the voice of the flesh which rejects the Word!

      Beheading John the Baptist means not being willing to repent, but keeping on being the men of flesh and blood or not being renewed.

      Therefore, do not doubt the Bride Tidings! Being doubtful, there will be the effect to the wife and children. If a pastor is doubtful, there will be the effect to the congregation. Being doubtful, one becomes unprofitable like a broken reed and smoking flax.

      Matthew 11:2-3,7
      11:2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
      11:3 and said to Him, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"
      11:7 As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

      John the Baptist was doubtful to Jesus like a broken reed also.

    • The attitude of Herodias or the illegal wife.
      Matthew 14:8
      14:8 So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter."

      It is like the attitude of the church at the early rain.
      Acts 5:31-33
      5:31 "Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
      5:32 "And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him."
      5:33 When they heard this, they were furious and plotted to kill them.

      It refers to being cut in the heart and extremely rejecting the Bride Tidings until keeping the wrong or illegal marriage. Consequently, she had revenge, provoked, and asked the head of John the Baptist or did not want to repent until she could not repent. Such person cannot have the life renewal, but only becomes the man of flesh and blood that will perish.

    • The attitude of the daughter of Herodias.
      Matthew 14:6-8
      14:6 But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod.
      14:7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
      14:8 So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter."

      It refers to not appreciating the Bride Tidings as follows:

      1. Appreciating the feast of the world more than the service and ministry to God which are brought up by the Bride Tidings.

      2. Serving and ministering to God, but not prioritizing the true teaching Word. It means only showing the prosperity and entertainment.

      3. Committing the fleshly deeds which are not in line to the Word.
        Galatians 5:19-21
        5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
        5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
        5:21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.


    Thus, Herod and the family could not repent and be renewed. It is the same as beheading John the Baptist and putting the head on a platter.
    It means as follows:

    • If the table of the heart and mind of man are not filled with the twelve loaves, the bread of life, or the true teaching Word, they must be filled with the bread of hatred or the food of the death for satisfying the hunger, namely jealousy, hatred, revenge, and bitterness. They are only filled with the twelve evil and unclean things which are like the vomit.
      Mark 7:21-22
      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).

      Foolishness means not being able to be advised. We must avoid such people. Do not make fellowship with them! It does not mean making hostility towards them, but praying for them.

      Titus 3:10-11
      3:10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,
      3:11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.


    • Not experiencing the renewal although already serving and ministering to God.
      2 Timothy 3:1-5
      3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
      3:2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
      3:3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
      3:4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
      3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

      It means keeping the man of flesh and blood with the eighteen characteristics of the flesh, being stamped with triple six or the same as the Antichrist.

    • Being dead or dry spiritually. There is no satisfaction or joy. The heart is sorrowful because of not being filled with the Word, but with riches, and so on [Matthew 14:9].
      The family of Herod lived in prosperity and fleshly entertainment, but the spirituality was dry and dead up to the second death in the hell forever.

  2. The attitude of John the Baptist.
    The positive attitude is holding fast the Bride Tidings and obeying in until being brave to firmly preach the Bride Tidings, regardless of any risk that must be taken.
    John was put in prison and beheaded or being dead physically, but being risen or experiencing the power of the resurrection of the Lord.

    Matthew 11:4,6
    11:4 Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
    11:6 "And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

    John 8:51
    8:51 "Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.


  3. The attitude of the Church.
    Acts 2:36-37
    2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
    2:37 Now when they heard this,
    they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

    Being cut to the heart means that we are able to hear the Word seriously with a need until we can believe the Word and it becomes faith in heart.
    The Word shows our sins, so we can realize, regret, and confess sins to God and others. Being forgiven, do not repeat the sin!
    We have the willing heart for obeying the Word regardless of any risk that we have to take, so we are sanctified and equipped with the ministry and gifts of Holy Spirit for being used in the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain.

    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,

    We are used in the edification of the body of Christ when shakings happen so that we do not hope money, but only God.

    John 9:1
    9:1Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.

    Being blind from birth means that there is no life renewal, but living in the darkness of sin, namely only committing sins up to the peak like dog and swine.
    Begging means depending on others and money in life.
    Sitting by the road means not being shepherded.
    Darkness means having no future life as well as living in hatred.

    1 John 2:11
    2:11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

    Being blind from birth is the same as impossibility or facing impossible problems.

    John 9:6
    9:6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

    The way of God to help is through Jesus' spitting on the ground to make clay with the saliva and anoint the eyes of the man.
    The ground refers to the man of clay that has many weaknesses and sins.
    The saliva refers to something that goes out of the Lord's mouth, namely the revelation of the Word through a verse which explains other verses or the Bride Tidings.
    Being anointed to the eyes means that the Word points at our sins directly.

    John 9:7
    9:7 And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

    Being commanded to go to Siloam refers to the test of obedience.
    Being obedient is the same as stretching out the hands to God. As a result, there is miracle, namely the renewal of life. Our eyes are opened to be able to see our own mistake, so we can confess our sins and be able to be sent for facing the impossible challenge or obstacle.
    The physical miracles will also happen. All impossible problems can be solved in time of need and there is the beautiful and successful future life.
    It continues until we are perfect for welcoming Jesus' second coming on the glorious clouds.

God blesses you.
