Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 10:5-7
10:5. The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven
10:6. and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,
10:7. but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
Revelation 10:2
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,
The Lord Jesus has a little book open in His left hand and raises up His right hand to heaven.
It means that out attitude to the revelation of the Word, the teaching, or the prophetic one determines the movement of God's hand whether it is stretched out to punish us like He has done to Pharaoh or it is stretched out to help us like He has done to Moses, Aaron, and the Israelites, so they can go out from Egypt.
Exodus 3:17-20
3:17. "and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey." '
3:18. "Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'
3:19. "But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand.
3:20. "So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.
There are two attitudes to the teaching word as follows:
God blesses us.
Revelation 10:5-7
10:5. The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven
10:6. and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,
10:7. but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
Revelation 10:2
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,
The Lord Jesus has a little book open in His left hand and raises up His right hand to heaven.
It means that out attitude to the revelation of the Word, the teaching, or the prophetic one determines the movement of God's hand whether it is stretched out to punish us like He has done to Pharaoh or it is stretched out to help us like He has done to Moses, Aaron, and the Israelites, so they can go out from Egypt.
Exodus 3:17-20
3:17. "and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey." '
3:18. "Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'

3:20. "So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.
There are two attitudes to the teaching word as follows:
- The negative attitude, namely rejecting the teaching wordlike Pharaoh and Egypt.
The facts found in it are as follows:- Being hard hearted. It means that one does not want to repent but keeps on sinning up to the peak until he is unable to repent like Satan.
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,
Being unwilling to repent is the same as treasuring up for ourselves wrath in the day of wrath until the hand of God is stretched out to punish. - Being unwilling to minister to God. One does not minister to God faithfully although he has the opportunity or the teaching word has moved him.
Exodus 7:14,16
7:14. So the LORD said to Moses: "Pharaoh's heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go.
7:16. "And you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, "Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness"; but indeed, until now you would not hear!
Moreover, one becomes a stumbling-block for others, so they do not want to minister to God.
- Being hard hearted. It means that one does not want to repent but keeps on sinning up to the peak until he is unable to repent like Satan.
- The positive attitude, namely having a tender heart. It means that one can hear and obey the teaching word until the flesh does not sound anymore.
Exodus 3:17-18
3:17. "and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey." '
3:18. "Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'
It is the same as stretching out our hands to God and He will stretch out His hands to lead us from Egypt or the world to Canaan or the kingdom of heaven.
The results are as follows:- The hands of God lead us to Canaan which is full of milk and honey.
The milk refers to the shepherding word for spiritual growth. It starts from righteousness, holiness, up to perfection or spiritual maturity.
The honey refers to the shepherding word to give extra power, so we become strong and of good courage. We do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God, but keep on ministering to Him up to perfection. - The hands of God lead us to get away from Egypt to enter Canaan.
It is the same as getting away from the worldly company to enter the spiritual or heavenly one.
James 4:4
4:4. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
The shepherding word is able to deliver us from the world with all of its influences, namely the business, joy, distress, et ceterathat make us unfaithful in the ministry.
As a result, we can minister to God faithfully.
The shepherding word also delivers us from the tradition that is not in accordance with the word.
As a result, we become the servant of God who is faithful and correct in the ministry and all things.
We minister to God faithfully, well, fervently, and being full of responsibility as well as trustworthy.
Matthew 25:21
25:21. "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
The results are as follows:- We are used in many things, namely the revival of the building of the body of Christ.
It starts from the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding until the Israelites and the Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ. - We experience the heavenly bliss until we enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God.
- We are used in many things, namely the revival of the building of the body of Christ.
- The hands of God lead us to the ministry that pleases Him.
Exodus 3:18
3:18. "Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'
The facts found in it are as follows:- It is done at wilderness, not in Egypt. It means that we minister to God without the worldly ways that show off the flesh and worldly atmosphere that is rowdy, but in the anointing of Holy Spirit, namely being in order, regular, clean (holiness), and well-organized (the building of the body of Christ).
- 'we may sacrifice to the LORD' means sacrificing that is based on Christ's sacrifice and driven by the true teaching word.
We must sacrifice all things, namely time, power, mind, money,et cetera. But, we may not sacrifice the true teaching word.
So, the ministry to God is signified with sacrifice, not looking for blessing.
All things that we sacrifice will not become in vain. God will return it, so we meet Jehovah Jireh.
God is able to create something that does not exist yet. - 'three days' journey' refers to the cross or suffering in the flesh without any sins or because of Jesus.
As a result, we receive Holy Spirit or the one of glory.
Romans 8:26
8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
We just acknowledge our spiritual and physical weakness and infirmity.
As a result, the miracles happen.
The spiritual one is the renewal of life from fleshly men to spiritual ones. It starts from being strong and of good courage. It means that we keep on believing in God.
And physical miracle also happens.
Exodus 14:21
14:21. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.
Holy Spirit is able to divide the Red Sea. It means finishing all impossible problems and giving successful and beautiful future.
Romans 8:27-28
8:27. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Holy Spirit is able to make all things good. The thing that has been destroyed can be good, the decay is changed into fragrance, and bitter things are changed into the sweet ones until we are changed up to perfection to greet Jesus when He comes a second time. - It is done at wilderness, not in Egypt. It means that we minister to God without the worldly ways that show off the flesh and worldly atmosphere that is rowdy, but in the anointing of Holy Spirit, namely being in order, regular, clean (holiness), and well-organized (the building of the body of Christ).
- The hands of God lead us to Canaan which is full of milk and honey.
God blesses us.
