Peace and grace in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The whole Matthew 28 refers to shekinah glory or the light of glory.
Matthew 28:11-15
28:11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened.
28:12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
28:13 saying, "Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’
28:14 "And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure."
28:15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
Matthew 28:11-15 refers to the lie of the council or the spread of the darkness or false testimony or teaching that rejects the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The false teaching is encouraged by a great power, namely the power of money or mammon.
Roma 4:25
4:25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Jesus is willing to die in order to deliver us from sin and He resurrects to justify us.
The consequence of rejecting the death and resurrection of Jesus is as follows.
Facing the false news bringing the false worship, we have to worship God righteously with the encouragement of the true teaching.
The true teaching encourages us to the true worship but the false teaching encourages us to the false worship.
Luke 9:28-29
9:28 Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
9:29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
The true worship is the process of the tearing of the flesh. It means the death and resurrection experience together with Jesus, so we have the renewal of our face, referring to the renewal of our heart, namely the renewal from flesh characteristic to Jesus’.
There are five characteristics of the flesh that must be torn as follows.
We experience the tearing of flesh through the true worship as well as the increase in worship until the flesh does not speak anymore. It means we have reached the measurement of worship until the Veil is torn and we live in the embrace of the hand of High Priest and Great Shepherd.
There are three kinds of measurement of the worship as follows.
God blesses you.
Peace and grace in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Roma 4:25
4:25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
Jesus is willing to die in order to deliver us from sin and He resurrects to justify us.
The consequence of rejecting the death and resurrection of Jesus is as follows.
- Human, the servants, and the sons of God reject the truth, so they live in sin up to the peak, namely sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage.
- There is no life renewal but men keep on being flesh and blood humans who follow the lust or will of flesh. Consequently, they do not inherit the kingdom of heaven.
- Human, the servants, and the sons of God worship mammon or idol.
Consequently, they are stamped with 666 and same as antichrist to perish forever.
Facing the false news bringing the false worship, we have to worship God righteously with the encouragement of the true teaching.
The true teaching encourages us to the true worship but the false teaching encourages us to the false worship.

The true worship is the process of the tearing of the flesh. It means the death and resurrection experience together with Jesus, so we have the renewal of our face, referring to the renewal of our heart, namely the renewal from flesh characteristic to Jesus’.
There are five characteristics of the flesh that must be torn as follows.
- Hypocrisy, pretense of doing good things or sacrificing, et cetera.
Luke 12:1
12:1 In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
It must be renewed to become the characteristic of Jesus, namely purity and honesty. - Fear of something in the world until there is no fear of the Lord even there is rebellion to God.
Luke 12:4-5
12:4 "And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
12:5 "But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!

Luke 12:22
12:22 Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worryabout your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.
It must be changed to become trusting and entrusting our life fully to God. - Negligence or unfaithfulness.
Luke 12:45
12:45 "But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,
It must be renewed to become the characteristic of Jesus, namely faithfulness, even the faithfulness to the point of death.
- Other people know all of his rottenness but there is no forgiveness anymore.
- The ministry is taken by other and he cannot get it anymore.
- Forever perdition.
We experience the tearing of flesh through the true worship as well as the increase in worship until the flesh does not speak anymore. It means we have reached the measurement of worship until the Veil is torn and we live in the embrace of the hand of High Priest and Great Shepherd.
There are three kinds of measurement of the worship as follows.
- Peace and quietness in the midst of shakings and destruction in the world.
Revelation 8:1, 3, 5
8:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silencein heaven for about half an hour.
8:3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
8:5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
We are in the embrace of High Priest making all things easy and light.
The peace is the characteristic of the shepherded person. Not being shepherded, one will hunt everywhere like Esau, consequently there are many tears. - Obedience to the Shepherding Word or the rod of the shepherd, whatever risk we have to face.
Revelation 11:1-2
11:1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.
11:2 "But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty–two months.
Being obedient, we are in the embrace of High Priest creating something that does not exist yet and preserving our life with His miracles as well as helping us to solve all problems, even the impossible one. - Perfection and glory as Jesus is perfect and glorious. We become the Bride of God.
Revelation 11:19
11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Revelation 12:13-14
12:13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
The perfect Bride gets the two wings of a great eagle, referring to the two hands of the Great Shepherd embracing us as follows.- To flee us to the wilderness, far away from the presence of antichrist for three years and half. We are preserved and protected directly by God.
- To lift us up on the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time and we are brought to the throne of God forever.
- To flee us to the wilderness, far away from the presence of antichrist for three years and half. We are preserved and protected directly by God.
God blesses you.
