Matthew 28:16-20 is about the commandment to preach the Gospel, or the spread of the light or Shekinah Glory. It means God employs us in a great revival according to the great commandment of God as follows.
One who is used in the great revival is priest and king.
Priest is one as follows.
A priest must have the true consecration, because there will be separation between the true and false consecration. The example is Cain and Abel. The ministry of Abel is accepted, but the ministry of Cain is rejected. In the last days, there will be separation again. Two people in the field will be separated, one is lifted up and the other is left.
The true consecration is related to the garment of ministry.
One who has no garment or is being naked (equals to preserving sins) cannot and is not allowed to minister God. He is ministering himself and Satan, and will be destroyed.
There are seven parts of the garment of the High Priest in the book of Exodus.
We are still discussing the skillfully woven tunic.
Exodus 28:39a
28:39a “You shall skillfully weave the tunic of fine linen thread,....
The skillfully woven tunic is a white garment with many holes. The white garment denotes holiness. The holes denote the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Thus, the white garment with many holes is the garment of holiness in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
The process to receive the white garment with many holes is as follows.
The usefulness of the white garment with many holes is the anointing of Holy Spirit gives us opened spiritual eyes, so we can see Jesus who sits on the right side of God the Father. The practices are as follows.
As the servant of God, we must take care of these two things.
If we use the white garment with many holes, we can see Jesus who sits on the right side of God the Father. Thus, He will also see us with merciful sight. He struggles with us so we will never feel alone.
The results are as follows.
God blesses us.
Luke 2:12
2:12 And this will bethe sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
The baby of Jesus is born in a sheepfold with two major signs as follows.
- Using the swaddling cloths to bear the burden.
It means that Jesus is born to bear all burdens of men, especially the burden of sins, through His blood on the cross. - Lying in a manger (place for the food of sheep).
It means that Jesus is born to become the food for the sheep, meaning the shepherding Word to grow and purify the congregation until we become perfect as He is.
A baby is submitted to the hands of God with the sign of blood and the Word.
Psalm 1:1-3
1:1 Blessed isthe man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
1:2 But his delight isin the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
1:3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
The position of life with the sign of blood and the Word is as a tree planted by the rivers of water. It means as follows.
- Always being cared by the Great Shepherd, never being dry carnally and spiritually, but always giving thanks to God.
- Not being withered, meaning always being faithful and fervent in spirit in ministry.
- Bearing fruits, meaning always being a blessing to the others, also being employed by God.
- Whatever he does shall prosper; up to the peak of prosperity is being the same as God in His second coming.

Matthew 28:16-20 is about the commandment to preach the Gospel, or the spread of the light or Shekinah Glory. It means God employs us in a great revival according to the great commandment of God as follows.
- Revival of Holy Spirit in the first rain, that is revival in the gospel Word. This revival aims to save the sinful lives through water baptism.
Matthew 28:19
28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, - Revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain, that is revival in the teaching Word. This revival aims to bring saved lives to enter the building of the perfect body of Christ, to become the bride who is ready to welcome Jesus’ second coming on the glorious clouds.
Matthew 28:20
28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, evento the end of the age.” Amen.

Priest is one as follows.
- One who is holy.
- One who bears ministry received from God.
- One who ministers God.
- One who is used in the ministry of the building of the perfect body of Christ.
A priest must have the true consecration, because there will be separation between the true and false consecration. The example is Cain and Abel.

Two people in the field will be separated, one is lifted up and the other is left.

Exodus 28:39a
28:39a “You shall skillfully weave the tunic of fine linen thread,....
The skillfully woven tunic is a white garment with many holes. The white garment denotes holiness. The holes denote the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Thus, the white garment with many holes is the garment of holiness in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
The process to receive the white garment with many holes is as follows.
- A priest must dwell in the Holy Place.
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 isupon him: I amthe Lord.
Dwelling in the Holy Place means dwelling in the shepherding pen, meaning persevering in three main services as follows.- Golden Candlestick, that is perseverance in General Service (drinking).
- The Table of Showbread, that is perseverance in Bible Study Service with Holy Communion (eating).
- Golden Altar of Incense, that is perseverance in Prayer Service (breathing).
- Experiencing sanctification, that is receiving the white garment.
- Experiencing the anointing oil, that is receiving the holes.
- Golden Candlestick, that is perseverance in General Service (drinking).
- Through the sprinkling of blood, or flesh suffering because of Jesus. One of the forms is fasting.
Matthew 6:17-18
6:17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
6:18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who isin the secret place;and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
The signs of the true fasting are as follows.- Washing our face, meaning experiencing sanctification by the true teaching Word.
- Anointing our head, meaning our mind is anointed by Holy Spirit.
- Washing our face, meaning experiencing sanctification by the true teaching Word.
The usefulness of the white garment with many holes is the anointing of Holy Spirit gives us opened spiritual eyes, so we can see Jesus who sits on the right side of God the Father. The practices are as follows.
- We can see or receive the wondrous things from the true teaching Word.
Psalm 119:18
119:18 Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law.
It means as follows.- Seeing the revelation of the secret of the Word that is a verse explains other verses in the Bible.
- Seeing and experiencing life renewal. This is the greatest miracle.
We experience the life renewal from flesh man to become spiritual man as Jesus is. It is started from being obedient until the flesh does not sound anymore, or being obedient whatever the risk we must face.
Hebrews 5:8-10
5:8 though He was a Son, yetHe learned obedience by the things which He suffered.
5:9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,
5:10 called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,”
Being obedient means success and having the white garment with many holes.
Being disobedient means failure and being naked.
- Seeing the revelation of the secret of the Word that is a verse explains other verses in the Bible.
- Not being worried, so we can seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. It means ministering God in faithfulness and righteousness, or with the true consecration.
Matthew 6:25,31-34
6:25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
6:31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
6:32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day isits own trouble.
The result is God will add our needs, meaning we live from the cross of God so we will never lack of anything.
Our concern as the servant of God is wearing the white garment with many holes, meaning being obedient to the true teaching Word and ministering God in faithfulness and righteousness. Thus, the matters of eating, drinking, clothing, and future belong to God. God never fools us.
Romans 8:32
8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
As the servant of God, we must take care of these two things.
- Never fool God by being disobedient, unfaithful, and unjust.
- Do not be blind, meaning do not worry.
If one worries, he will be unfaithful and unjust. Worry causes being bent over for eighteen years, meaning having many questions and debates. This kind of life is never renewed; he keeps being flesh and blood man and stamped with 666. If one worries, he will also be egoistic so he cannot be active in the revival of building the body of Christ.
If we use the white garment with many holes, we can see Jesus who sits on the right side of God the Father. Thus, He will also see us with merciful sight. He struggles with us so we will never feel alone.
The results are as follows.
- The High Priest gives us extra power to keep being faithful and fervent in spirit in the ministry until the end line.
2 Chronicles 16:7-9
16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
16:8 Were the Ethiopians and the Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand.
16:9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of thosewhose heart isloyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.”
The High Priest also gives us power to win over our enemies. All obstacles and barriers will be destroyed. All problems even the impossible ones will be solved. - His merciful sight through the repeated teaching Word (the crow of the rooster).
Luke 22:60-62
22:60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!”Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
22:61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
22:62 So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Peter weeps bitterly and becomes obedient. He fully submits his life to God. The result is the hands of God are stretched out to lift us up. No matter how deep the fall our life is, we are still employed by God. God makes our life beautiful and successful, until the most beautiful and successful one in His second coming.
God blesses us.
