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

10:2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
10:3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.
The appearances of Jesus with seven lights of glory are as follows:
There are two kinds of the voice of a roaring lion as follows:
God blesses you.

- The face is like the sun.
- The feet are like pillars of fire.
- Having a little book open in His hand.
- Setting the right foot on the sea and the left foot on the land.

There are two kinds of the voice of a roaring lion as follows:
- The voice of the lion that refers to Satan.
1 Peter 5:8
5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
The meanings are as follows:- The voice of the lion of the devil which walks around.
It means that Satan makes pastor and the congregation walk around or not be shepherded well and correctly.
The pastor does not do his duty anymore or he does not feed the congregation faithfully in perseverance.
The congregation does neither want to eat the shepherding word which is provided in the shepherding pen nor persevere in the shepherding pen.
The consequences when the shepherding is broken are as follows:- The sheep live in weariness, heavy burden, difficulties, and tears as well as they are scattered. Being scattered means that there is no cover of salvation or there is no one who is responsible for the salvation of the soul.
Matthew 9:36
9:36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. - The wicked shepherd will be condemned by God.
Jeremiah 23:1-2
23:1 "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!" says the LORD.
23:2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: "You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings," says the LORD.
- The sheep live in weariness, heavy burden, difficulties, and tears as well as they are scattered. Being scattered means that there is no cover of salvation or there is no one who is responsible for the salvation of the soul.
- The voice of the flesh.
Judges 14:5
14:5 So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him.
A young lion is in the vineyard. It means that the strong voice of the flesh is in the shepherding pen.
Matthew 20:11-15
20:11 "And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner.
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.'
20:13 "But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
20:14 'Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
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?'
The facts found in the voice of the flesh are as follows:- Murmuring, asking the right only, envying, and hating.
- Blaming one another until quarrelling.
2 Timothy 2:21-25
2:21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
2:22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2:23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
2:24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
2:25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth., - The sins of eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse and the sins of marrying-being given in marriage such as mixed-marriage, divorce-remarrying, sexual affairs, et cetera.
When we are sanctified from the young lion, we can be patient, kind, gentle, and capable in teaching and testifying the true teaching word that we have done in our life. So, we can lead other people in the righteousness. - Murmuring, asking the right only, envying, and hating.
- The voice of lion that roars to bite and devour.
1 Peter 5:8
5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Amos 3:12
3:12 Thus says the LORD: "As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lion Two legs or a piece of an ear, So shall the children of Israel be taken out Who dwell in Samaria--In the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch!
The things taken out from the mouth of the lion are two legs or a piece of an ear.
The legs are used to stand. If the legs are bitten by lion, one cannot stand upright or he cannot be firm to hold fast the true teaching word. It the same as beginning to be doubtful to the true teaching word that has become the experience in his life. After being shaken, his ears will be bitten by lion.
2 Timothy 4:4
4:4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
The ears are bitten by lion. It means turning away from the true teaching word and turning aside to fables.
We must run away from the strange voice and not give opportunity even once to hear the false teaching.
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!
If one hears the voice of the lion of Satan, he will not experience the life renewal. It refers to the difficulty which is never finished until the perdition forever. He will become a fleshly man with eighteen characteristics of the flesh. It means that the body, soul, and spirit are stamped by 666.
- The voice of the lion of the devil which walks around.
- The voice of the lion of Judah or Jesus.
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?"
It refers to the prophecy word or the word of God which is revealed through one verse that explains other verses in the Bible. The prophecy word reveals all things which have not happened yet, but they will happen for sure at the last time especially about the second coming of Jesus. Everything that we have in the world, will be destroyed forever if we are left behind when Jesus comes a second time.
Jesus must appear with the voice of the Lion of Judah or the prophecy word for the following things:- Defeating the voice of the lion of the devil.
- Preparing, sanctifying, and changing us little by little until we are as perfect as Jesus.
Therefore, in facing the lion of Satan and the second coming of Jesus, we must be shepherded well and correctly.
The requirements to be shepherded are as follows:- Dwelling in the shepherding pen or having the perseverance in doing the three main services to God as follows:
- The General Service. The sheep is drinking.
- The Bible Study Service and Holy Communion. The sheep is eating.
- The Prayer Service. The sheep is breathing.
- The General Service. The sheep is drinking.
- Only hearing and obeying the voice of the shepherd or the shepherding word.
- Calling the sheep by their name.
John 10:3
10:3 "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
The salvation is our own responsibility and struggle. We can only pray for and remind one another.
Our name is called by the Great Shepherd when the shepherding word points out our sins and mistakes. So, we realize and confess our sins to God and other people. After being forgiven, we do not do sins anymore. When we are righteous and holy, our life is in the hand of the Great Shepherd. Jesus does not only call, but also writes and carves our name in the book of life. Therefore, we must be shepherded until the end line or until He finishes writing our name. The proof is our peaceful heart. - Leading us to the other shepherding pen, so we become one flock with one Shepherd or one body with one Head.
John 10:3,16
10:3 "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
10:16 "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
We are used in the revival of the Holy Spirit at the later rain or the revival of the edification of the perfect body of Christ.
Ephesians 1:22
1:22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church.
If Jesus becomes the Head, He is able to finish all impossible problems under His feet.
The woman of Canaan who has a child who is demon possessed refers to the destruction of the marriage and children. When we fall down at Jesus' feet and put Him as the Head, our marriage is restored.
A paralyzed man for thirty-eight years refers to the problem in the ministry and economy. When we bring it to Jesus, it can be healed.
Lazarus (youth) who has died for four days refers to the falling in sins. Mary bowed down at the feet of God. The things which are broken become good, the rotten ones become fragrant, and the Failed ones become success.
Revelation 7:17
7:17 "for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
It continuous until we are led to the New Jerusalem where there are no lies anymore. When we are honest, we become the house of prayer. All steps in our life are miraculous until the last step that we are changed to be as glorious as Jesus when He comes for the second time. We enter the last shepherding in the New Jerusalem where there is no tear drop anymore.
- Defeating the voice of the lion of the devil.
God blesses you.
