Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 6:5-66:5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."The opening of the third seal is the third punishment from Holy Spirit God to the world. It is the revival of the black horse to bring famine in physical and spiritual life, especially of the Word of God.
The consequence is that men, including the servants of God, who do not prioritize the true teaching Word, will fall and never rise again. It refers to living and enjoying in sins up to the peak until they are destroyed forever.
The way out is conveyed in verse 6 as follows:
- Having a denariusor the wage from working in the vineyard. It refers to the ministry in shepherding that is brought up by the Bride Tidings or the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
- Do not harm the oil and the wine.
We learn the second point, namely "Do not harm the oil and the wine".
Exodus 29:2129:21 "And you shall take some of the blood that is on the altar, and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, on his sons and on the garments of his sons with him; and he and his garments shall be hallowed, and his sons and his sons' garments with him.The oil and the wine are connected with the consecration.
Do not harm the oil and the wine is the same as do not harm the consecration. We must have the true consecration or ministry. It the consecration is broken, marriage and children, and all things will be broken too.
The oil and the wine are sprinkled to the priests and their clothes. It means that
we will experience the protection and defence from Godif our ministry is signified with the blood of Jesus and the anointing oil.
We are protected from three times seven punishments from God the Trinity that will attack the world. We are protected from antichrist who will reign for three and a half years in the world, doomsday, and the hell.
Revelation 20:6
20:6. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of Godand of Christ, and shall reignwith Him a thousand years.
If a priest dies while he is being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus and the anointing oil, he will be risen when Jesus comes a second time, and he keeps becoming the priest forever.
Revelation 22:3-5
22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
22:4. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.
22:5. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.The process to experience the sprinklingof blood and the anointing oil is as follows:
- Putting the hands on the head of the ram.
Exodus 29:19
29:19. " You shall also take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.
It means that we must always have fellowship with Christ's sacrifice and appreciate it, so we are encouraged to make peace with God and others. We confess and forgive one another, so the blood of Jesus finishes all of our sins.
- Sprinkling the blood all around on the altar.
Exodus 29:20
29:20. "Then you shall kill the ram, and take some of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and on the tip of the right ear of his sons, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar.
It means that there are two things that happen when a priest make peace as follows:
- The blood of Jesus forgives and covers all of our sins up to there is no remnant of our sin as if we had never sinned.
- The blood of Jesus withholds the sins in front of us that hinder or snare us, so we do not fall into sin again but keep living in righteousness and holiness.
- Some of blood is used as personal equipmentas follows:
- The blood is put on the tip of the right ear. It means as follows:
- A priest must hear and obey Jesuswho sits at the right hand of the Father God through hearing and obeying the true teaching word.
Philippians 2:8-10
2:8. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
2:9. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
2:10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
Jesus becomes obedient to the point of death on the cross, so He receives the name which is above every name, and He is exalted as the High Priest who sits at the right hand of the Father God.
Likewise, if we become obedient until the flesh does not sound anymore, we will be trusted the name of Jesus to defeat Satan the trinity.
Satan is the source of sin. If he is defeated, we can live in righteousness and holiness.
Satan is the source of problem. If he is defeated, all problems will be finished.
- The ear is the part of the senses. So, the blood that is put on the tip of the right ear also refers to the purification of the senses.
Philippians 2:11
2:11. and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Mouth can confess Jesus means that we can confess our sin, and speak good and true word.
Mark 7:37
7:37. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hearand the mute to speak."
If ear and mouth are good, the anointing oil of Holy Spirit will be poured out to make all things good.
- The blood is put on the thumb of right hand.
It means as follows:
- A priest must have the deed that pleases God and others, namely good and true deed and ministry.
We become faithful and fervent, and faithful and responsible in ministering God.
- The purification of character. We are not proud or disappointed but we always give thanks to God.
- The blood is put on the big toe of right foot.
Foot is used to stand. It means that we have steadfastness.
Ephesians 2:20
2:20. having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus ChristHimself being the chief cornerstone,
The steadfastness of a priest is that he has to stand above two thingsas follows:
- Christ as the chief cornerstone.
- The apostles and prophets.
The apostles refer to the new testament. The prophets refer to the old testament.
So, the apostles and prophets refer to the true teaching word.
The church of God that wants to stand fast has to persevere in bible study service and holy communion.
The proof of standing fast is saying yes if yes and no if no.
A priest who has the oil and wine is
honest and obedientuntil the flesh does not sound anymore. It is the same as lifting up two hands to Jesus as the High Priest who sits at the right hand of the Father God
to face three things that are controlled by the deathas follows:
- Failure.
John 21:3-7
21:3. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
21:4. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
21:5. Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any food?" They answered Him, "No."
21:6. And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
21:7. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
If we become honest and obedient, the hands of God will be stretched out to make all things succesful and beautiful. Peter was able to catch one hundred and fifty three fishes.
- The destruction in marriage and children.
Mark 7:24-30
7:24. From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.
7:25. For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spiritheard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet.
7:26. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
7:27. But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."
7:28. And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."
7:29. Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
7:30. And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
A daughter who had an unclean spirit refers to labor, heavy burden, and bitterness.
If we become honest and obedient, the hands of God will be stretched out to give peace. All things become easy and light. There are sweetness and unity of the marriage and children. The marriage becomes the house of prayer.
- Decay.
John 11:39-40
11:39. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
11:40. Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
If we become honest and obedient, the hands God will be stretched out to make us live in righteousness and holiness (producing fragrance). We become the house of prayer. All things are finished in due time.
The physical miracle happens. The impossible thing becomes possible.
It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are changed to become as perfect as He is. We just cry out: Alleluia,to greet Him.
God blesses us.
