One hundred andforty-four thousands of all the tribes of the children of Israelrefer to the core of the perfect church, the body of Christ, or the heavenly bride.They weresealed on their forehead as the sign of God's forever.
Why was the tribe of Dan replaced by Manasseh in Revelation 7:6?
Genesis 49:17
49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, aviperby the path,that bites the horse's heelsso that its rider shall fall backward.
The tribe of Dan was not sealed, but replaced by the tribe of Manasseh because they changed from the descendants of Abraham to the ones of viper. It is represented by the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 3:3,7-8
3:3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.' "
3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadduceescoming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
3:8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
John Baptism was sent to prepare straight path for God. It is the way that viper cannot go through. The straight path comes from the water baptism. The straight path refers to sincere and good heart.

The result of the evil, unclean, weak, and bitter heart is being employed in the building of Babylon to be the bride of Satan that is sealed by the Antichrist to get the wrath of God and perdition forever.
Revelation 18:2
18:2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!
Let us pray, so we can be appointed as the priests and kings or the living stone that is employed in the building of the perfect body of Christ. We have the seal of God and become His possession forever.
The process to become the priests and kings is preparing the good, straight, and conscience sincere.
Matthew 3:3
3:3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.' "
The condition of the Gentiles is like the hard stone or they are hard-hearted.
Matthew 3:9
3:9 and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as ourfather.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
Matthew 3:7-8
3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

1 Peter 3:20-21
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,
There is only one true water baptism, namely the one like Jesus is baptized.
The true water baptism is that the life that have believed in Jesus and repented or died to sin must be buried in water together with Jesus, so he comes out or rises from water together with Him and gets the new life. The new life means having the good conscience, namely the straight and sincere heart. It is free from evil, uncleanness, weakness, and bitterness. The good conscience only loves God, namely being obedient and honest to Him.
The sincere heart contains the persona of Jesus or the presence of God two forms as follows:
God blesses us.

3:8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
John Baptism was sent to prepare straight path for God. It is the way that viper cannot go through. The straight path comes from the water baptism. The straight path refers to sincere and good heart.
The brood of viper is represented by the Pharisees and Sadducees that they do not have good heart, but serpentine way as follows:
- The evil heart.
The evil heart contains the root of evil, namely the love of money that makes one stingy and greedy.
Being stingy means that one cannot give for the work of God and others who are in need.
Being greedy means stealing other's and God's or the tithe and special offering.
One becomes stingy and greedy because he depends on money, neither God nor faith.
The life that has sincere heart depends on God or faith.
Being stingy and greedy is equal to idolatry or the false worship.
The Pharisees with their false teaching allow the divorce-remarrying. Their teaching destroys the marriage.
The Sadducees with their false teaching teach that there is no resurrection of the dead or there are no spirit and angel. There is no life anymore after man lives in this world. Nothing happens after one dies. It encourages man to live like wild animal that only follows the will or lust of flesh, eyes, and ears or the pride of life. Man lives like animal that leads to perdition.
Hebrews 10:22
10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. - The unclean heart.
The unclean heart leads to the sins of eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse) and marrying-being given in marriage (the fornication and its kinds up to the wrong marriage).
Titus 1:15
1:15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. - The weak heart.
The weak heart is one that easily stumbles, gets disappointed and desperate, and becomes stumbling-stone. Thus, one falls easily until leaving the service and ministry to God.
Being the tumbling-stone is the same as being the millstone or Babylon that is thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone to drown or perish forever.
1 Corinthians 8:7-9
8:7. However, there isnot in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat itas a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8:8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
8:9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. - The bitter heart.
Dan was born from the bitter heart, namely the jealousy, envy, and hatred without reason.
Genesis 30:1-6
30:1. Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die!"
30:2 And Jacob's anger was aroused against Rachel, and he said, "AmI in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
30:3 So she said, "Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, and she will bear a childon my knees, that I also may have children by her."
30:4 Then she gave him Bilhah her maid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
30:5 And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
30:6 Then Rachel said, "God has judged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.
The result of the evil, unclean, weak, and bitter heart is being employed in the building of Babylon to be the bride of Satan that is sealed by the Antichrist to get the wrath of God and perdition forever.
Revelation 18:2
18:2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

Matthew 3:3

The condition of the Gentiles is like the hard stone or they are hard-hearted.

3:8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
They can have the good conscience and become the priests and kings who are employed by God through the true water baptism.
1 Peter 3:20-21
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 new life means having the good conscience, namely the straight and sincere heart. It is free from evil, uncleanness, weakness, and bitterness. The good conscience only loves God, namely being obedient and honest to Him.
The sincere heart contains the persona of Jesus or the presence of God two forms as follows:
- The shepherding word.
It is the true teaching word that is conveyed again and again to become the spiritual meal.
Matthew 14:17-21
14:17 And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."
14:18 He said, "Bring them here to Me."
14:19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
14:20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
14:21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
The good conscience is like the pasture on which passes through. The good conscience can enjoy, hear, and obey the shepherding word.
The shepherding word leads us to enter the sheepfold, namely the perseverance in three main services. It is like sitting on the grass, namely being firmly shepherded, so we will not fall and lose our way.
The results are as follows:- Serenity, peacefulness, and everything becomes easy and light.
- Being filled. It means the ambience of abundance. There is the miraculous caring from God until we can give thank and reach the perfection.
- We are purified until being perfect. Being purified means that we are given the ministry and the gift of Holy Spirit. We are employed in the building of the body of Christ up to being the perfect bride of heaven.
- Serenity, peacefulness, and everything becomes easy and light.
- The Holy Spirit.
The sincere heart is like the face of the water. The face of the water refers to the zero point.
Genesis 1:1-2
1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
1:2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness wason the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Living without Holy Spirit means dissatisfaction, so one looks for the world satisfaction or lives in uncleanness and bitterness.
The way out is the sincere heart or the humble one by confessing the sins honestly to God and others. After being forgiven, do not sin anymore. It is like giving the sour wine to Jesus on the cross. Thus, the heart becomes peaceful and God pours the new wine or Holy Spirit.
John 4:14
4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
We experience the satisfaction of heaven, so we always give thanks to God. We will not look for the worldly satisfaction, so we will not fall in sin. We can live in righteousness and holiness.
John 4:39
4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I everdid."
If the Holy Spirit works, we will be able to testify about the life renewal.
John 4:23
4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father inspirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
It continues until we can worship God.
If the spiritual miracle or the life renewal happens, the physical one will also happen. The impossible things become possible ones.
God blesses us.
