Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The two tablets of stone are divided into two parts as follows:
- The first tablet of stone contains four laws about loving God with all of our body, soul, and spirit, loving God more than anything or obedience to the word of God.
- The second tablet of stone contains six laws about loving others like ourselves until loving our enemy.
Thus, the two tablets of stone are about love.
Matthew 24:1224:12 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. It means that because the love grows cold and the lawlessness abounds, one does not love God (being proud and disobedient to the word) and others, so one lives without love. The result is falling in sin and experiencing the fifth punishment of trumpet.
Revelation 9:19:1 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. Lucifer was an angel but he fell and became Satan because he was proud and disobedient to God.
Adam and Eve fell because of the will, so they disobeyed God.
We must live in the increasing love up to the perfect one so we will not fall or grow cold. It is the same as having the two tablets of stone.
The process of living in the perfect love is as follows:
- The Altar of Burnt Offerings or the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
It means believing in Jesus as the only savior and repenting. We realize and regret our sin through the encouragement of the repeated shepherding word that shows us our sin. We confess the sin and repent. We are also able to forgive and forget others' sin, so the blood of Jesus wipes the sin until there is no remnant of it at all.
Proverbs 28:13
28:13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
The result is receiving the first love, namely living in righteousness and becoming the weapon of righteousness. It is the same as becoming the servant of God who ministers to Him with faithfulness, righteousness, and fervency according to the ministry that God trusts for us.
1 Timothy 4:14
4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.
'Do not neglect'in the ministry means that we must do the ministry solemnly, responsibly, faithfully, and fervently. We do not leave the ministry. It is the same as keeping the first love.
Leaving the ministry is the same as losing the first love, so one will fall deeper.
- The Brazen Laver or the water baptism.
Matthew 3:16-17
3:16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Ones who believe in Jesus and repent from sin must be buried in the water baptism, so they will become the children of God. We can obey the true teaching word and be purified continuously. We can live in righteousness and experience the increasing love.
The results are as follows:
- We can endure and be employed in the building of the perfect body of Christ. It starts from the ministry in marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, up to the perfect body of Christ, namely Israel and the Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ.
Matthew 7:24
7:24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock
- God opens the door of heaven, and then all doors will be opened. The impossible things become possible. The matter of the door of heaven is opened means that we experience the ambience of heaven starting from now.
Matthew 7:21
7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
There are a lot of obstacles and hindrances in ministry, but God will open all doors for us.
- The Golden Altar of Incense or the worship prayer.
Matthew 17:1-2
17:1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
17:2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
The worship prayer is the process of tearing the flesh and its will, lust, emotion, and character, so we look at Jesus only. It means that our eyes see Jesus, our mouth cries out His name and our hands are lifted up or we surrender fully to Him.
Thus, worshiping God is the same as looking at Him.
Matthew 5:43-45
5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
5:45 "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
The result is receiving the love of God. It means that God sees, cares, and struggles for us. Such time is an opportunity for us to struggle together with Him.
Genesis 32:24, 28, 30-31
32:24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
32:28 And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."
32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
32:31 Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.
Wrestling until the breaking of day means struggling until the second coming of Jesus on the glorious clouds.
Struggling until we get a new name means struggling to experience the life renewal from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus. The life renewal starts from mouth. The liar becomes prayer (we pray a lot to God). We say good and right words and become the witness of God (we comfort, strengthen, and win many people).
We struggle to be able to love God more than anything, namely obeying the word and ministering to God faithfully and fervently until the end line.
We struggle to love others up to our enemies until we can repay the evil with good.
We struggle to face the Antichrist who will reign on earth. We can live only by God. We prioritize the true teaching word. Then, the love hands of God will be able to care our life until the days when the Antichrist reigns on earth.
We struggle to defeat fear or stress, so we feel peaceful, easy, and light. The peace is a proof that God is with us.
We struggle to face impossible problem. The loving hands of God are able to erase all impossibilities. The physical miracle happens.
We struggle together with God in miracle steps until the last miracle that we are changed to become as perfect as He is.
God blesses us.
