Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:14
1:14 His head and hair werewhite like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;
It is about the appearance of Jesus in glory as the King of kings.
The signs are as follows.
ad. 1. His head and hair are white like wool, as white as snow.
John the apostle saw the head and hair of Jesus that are white like wool. It was also experienced by Daniel.
Daniel 7:9
7:9 “I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment waswhite as snow, And the hair of His head waslike pure wool. His throne wasa fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire;
Daniel saw Jesus with His white hair and He sat on the throne of Heaven.
Proverbs 16:31
16:31 The silver-haired head isa crown of glory, Ifit is found in the way of righteousness.
White hair is a beautiful crown that is found in the way of righteousness.
Thus, Jesus has white hair means having the crown of righteousness. He also sits on the throne of Heaven. Only life who has white hair or the crown of righteousness will be able to sit together with Jesus on the throne of Heaven.
Therefore, we must struggle since we are inside the womb, during our childhood and youth period, until we have white hair, even until the end line, to be able to get the crown of righteousness so we can sit together with Jesus on the throne of Heaven forever.
Romans 3:9-13,15,18
3:9 What then? Are we better than they?Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
3:10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;
3:11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.
3:12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.”
3:13 “Their throat isan open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps isunder their lips”;
3:15 “Their feet areswift to shed blood;
3:18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
The fact is all people, both the Israelites and the Gentiles, have sinned since they are inside the womb until old. None is righteous from the top of the head to the sole of the feet, even to the deepest feeling.
How can we get the crown of righteousness?
Romans 4:25
4:25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Jesus must die on the cross to bear and erase our sins. And He is raised (Passover) to justify all of us, so we can live in righteousness until we get the crown of righteousness.
Without the crown of righteousness, everything that we get in this world is useless and will be destroyed forever.
There are three levels of righteousness as follows.
If we struggle for living in righteousness since we are in the womb until old, our position is as a baby in the embrace of God’s merciful hands.
Isaiah 46:3-4
46:3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, Who have been upheld by Mefrom birth, Who have been carried from the womb:
46:4 Even to yourold age, I amHe, And evento gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
The results are as follows.
God blesses us.

Without the crown of righteousness, everything that we get in this world is useless and will be destroyed forever.
There are three levels of righteousness as follows.
- Righteousness because of forgiveness of our sins by the blood of Jesus.
The process is as follows.- Our heart believes and we have faith in Jesus.
Romans 10:17
10:17 So then faith comesby hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The true faith comes by hearing the Word that is anointed by Holy Spirit. One must preach the Word or hear it in the anointing of Holy Spirit, so the Word becomes faith in our heart.
If the Word is preached only based on logic, richness, et cetera, it will only become knowledge and debate that will fail the faith.
We must hear the Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we can hear it with sincerity and needs. - Our mouth confesses the name of Jesus, meaning confessing our sins.
Romans 10:10
10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
We must confess our sins solemnly to God (vertical) and the others (horizontal).
1 John 1:7
1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Thus the blood of Jesus will actively forgive our sin and cover it so there are no remains, as we never do it. His blood also sanctifies us from all sins and pulls out the roots of sins, so we stop sinning to return to God.
Celebrating the Passover is getting the power of the Passover to encourage us to repent.
Jeremiah 9:5-6
9:5 Everyone will deceive his neighbor, And will not speak the truth; They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
9:6 Your dwelling place isin the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the Lord.
The beginning of repentance is not lying. It equals to confessing our sins.
Lying means hardening the heart and not being willing to confess the sins. It will be continued with being lazy to repent, unwilling to repent, until being unable to repent and becoming the same as Satan.
A liar will store up sins with sins, lies with lies. He will be seemed as a free one for a while, but actually he is treasuring up the wrath of God and will be destroyed forever.
Romans 2:5
2:5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
- Our heart believes and we have faith in Jesus.
- Righteousness because of being set free from sins.
Being set free from sins means we do not want to do sins although there are chances, benefits, threats, et cetera.
1 John 3:9
3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
The process of being set free from sins is we must be born of God, that is experiencing new birth through water baptism.
1 Peter 3:19-21
3:19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,
3:20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while theark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
The true water baptism is when one who has died to sin or repented is buried in water together with Jesus to raise in new life. We experience renewal of our conscience from a bad conscience to a good one.
A bad conscience tends to do sin up to its peak, that is sin concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
A good conscience does not do sins anymore whatever the risks are, and although there are chances, benefits, threats, et cetera. We are set free especially from eight sins that will bring us directly to the hell.
Revelation 21:8
21:8 But (1)the cowardly, (2)unbelieving, (3)abominable, (4)murderers, (5)sexually immoral, (6)sorcerers, (7)idolaters, and all (8)liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”- Being coward means being afraid of something until one does not have the fear of God, or being afraid of something until doing sins. It also means being worried.
- Not believing, being doubt.
- Being abominable and evil.
- Murdering and hating without any reasons.
- Being sexually immoral.
- Sorcerers.
- Idolaters.
- Liars.
The practices of being set free from sins are as follows.- Living in righteousness in all aspects of our life, whatever the risks are.
Genesis 6:9
6:9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. - Being honest and without blemish. We let ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and ‘no’ be ‘no’. Especially we must be honest in the matter of the teaching Word. If we can be honest in this matter, we will be honest in every matter.
Titus 2:7
2:7 in all things showing yourself to bea pattern of good works; in doctrine showingintegrity, reverence, incorruptibility, - Walking with God or being shepherded.
If we live in righteousness and honesty, it will not be difficult to be well-shepherded.
Being well-shepherded means we always dwell in the shepherding pen. Within Tabernacle, it refers to the Holy Place, where there are three kinds of equipment. Now, they denote the perseverance in three main services as follows.- Table of Showbread refers to perseverance in Bible Study Service with Holy Communion. We have fellowship with the Son of God in His Word and the sacrifice of Christ. It equals to Passover Feast that is marked with figure 7.
Leviticus 23:5-6
23:5 On the fourteenth dayof the first month at twilight isthe Lord’s Passover.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month isthe Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. - Golden Candlestick refers to perseverance in General Service. We have fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His gifts. It equals to the Pentecost Feast or the day of the firstfruits that is also marked with figure 7.
Leviticus 23:15-16
23:15‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
23:16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord. - Golden Altar of Incense refers to perseverance in Prayer Service. We have fellowship with Father God in His love. It equals to the Feast of Tabernacles that is also marked with figure 7.
Leviticus 23:34
23:34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first dayof the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
- Table of Showbread refers to perseverance in Bible Study Service with Holy Communion. We have fellowship with the Son of God in His Word and the sacrifice of Christ. It equals to Passover Feast that is marked with figure 7.
- Being coward means being afraid of something until one does not have the fear of God, or being afraid of something until doing sins. It also means being worried.
- Being righteous as Jesus is righteous.
1 John 3:7
3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
The process is being newly born by Holy Spirit, or experiencing Holy Spirit baptism.
The results of Holy Spirit baptism are as follows.- Being faithful and righteous as well as being faithful and fervent in spirit in ministering God.
Romans 12:11
12:11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
If one is lagging in diligence in ministering God, he will fall in sins and be burning in lust. - Being obedient to the true teaching Word whatever the risks are.
Romans 8:15
8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
If we obey the true teaching Word, the results are as follows.- We cannot sin as Jesus does not sin.
1 John 3:9
3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. - We cannot be deceived.
1 John 3:7
3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
- We cannot sin as Jesus does not sin.
- Being faithful and righteous as well as being faithful and fervent in spirit in ministering God.
If we struggle for living in righteousness since we are in the womb until old, our position is as a baby in the embrace of God’s merciful hands.
Isaiah 46:3-4
46:3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, Who have been upheld by Mefrom birth, Who have been carried from the womb:
46:4 Even to yourold age, I amHe, And evento gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
The results are as follows.
- God bears us, meaning He is responsible for our life and death.
The merciful hands of God are able to care our life physically and erase all impossibilities.
The merciful hands of God also care our marriage until it reaches holy and perfect marriage. - God carries all our weariness and heavy burdens, so we can live in peace in the embrace of His hands.
- God lifts us up and makes everything successful and beautiful in His time.
- God saves us, so we can be as righteous, holy, and perfect as Jesus is.
God blesses us.
