Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 8:1-58:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 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. 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand. 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.There are two different situations as follows:
- There is shaking on earth by the earthquake, thunderings, and lightnings.
The physical shaking happens in every aspect (economy, health, et cetera).
The spiritual shaking refers to the sins up to the peak, the false teaching, the influence of the world (business, joy, suffering, et cetera) that make one unfaithful. It ends in ruin and perdition forever.
- There is silence in heaven that is connected with the Golden Altar of Incense.
It refers to the worship prayer until it fulfills the measurement, namely the flesh does not speak anymore (the veil is torn). It results in calm and peace by the Holy Spirit.
Thus, we must pray a lot to prevent us from experiencing the shakings of the world. We must enjoy the worship prayer until the peak, namely the flesh does not speak anymore. The worship prayer is the same as the neck. It is the closest connection between the Head (Husband) and the Body (Wife). If the worship prayer does not increase or the flesh still speak, the connection between the Head (Husband) and the Body (Wife) will be cut. It is the same as the widow in spiritual meaning.
2 Kings 4:1-74:1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves." 4:2 So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil." 4:3 Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4:4 "And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones." 4:5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 4:6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased. 4:7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."The widow refers to the life that is shaken, facing the problem of marriage and children, suffering, and in tears as well as the economy crisis (the debt that cannot be paid or being in the hand of the Antichrist). It leads to the sins up to the peak (the sins of Babylon, namely the ones of eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage).
The way out is that we must shut the door.
Matthew 6:66:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.It refers to the worship prayer, the personal connection to God, the relationship in heart to heart between us as the Bride and Jesus as the Bridegroom. We pour our heart to God honestly. Then, God will pour the oil of Holy Spirit to anoint, fill, and overflow in our life to become the extra oil.
As a result, we become the wise virgins (there is connection with the Bridegroom) with the burning lamp to face the darkness of the last days until the day of Jesus second coming.
Luke 12:35 12:35 "Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning;The burning lamp means faithfulness and fervency in ministry to God until the end line. It is until we die or the second coming of Jesus. If we are not faithful, we must be lazy and evil.
Matthew 25:2125:21 "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.'When we are faithful and fervent over a few things (the things that are not seen by others) is the time when the lamp is burning. It continues until we see the smallest person who need the most. Then, we will experience the joy of heaven that cannot be affected by anything.We become the cheerful virgins and will be employed over many things, namely the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain or the one in the Bride Tidings to awaken the sleeping church. We are employed in the building of the perfect body of Christ.
Matthew 25:625:6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'We experience the calm and peace or the Bride surrendering. We surrender fully to Jesus as the Bridegroom of Heaven, put Him as the Head, or stretch out our hands to God. God will stretch out His Holy Spirit hands towards us for doing the following things:
- Finishing problems especially the sins up to the peak. The sin is the heaviest burden for man. Then, all the impossible problems will be finished by the hands of Holy Spirit.
- Caring and protecting us who are small and powerless in the difficult world until the days when the Antichrist reigns on earth for three and a half years.
2 Kings 4:7b
...., and you and your sons live on the rest."
- Sanctifying and changing us to become perfect like Jesus and worthy to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds. We are together with Him forever. It is like the five wise virgins who entered the marriage supper of the Lamb, the Paradise, up to the New Jerusalem.
God blesses us.
