Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 8:8-9
8:8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
8:9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
The second trumpet which is sounded refers to the second punishment of the Son of God for the world that refuses the voice of trumpet or the repeated true teaching word.
It is signified by the great mountain burning with fire which was thrown into the sea. The great mountain refers to the sin of Babylon that is triggered by the burning will of the flesh.
The sea refers to the Gentiles [Isaiah 17:12].
Thus, the great mountain burning with fire which was thrown into the sea refers to the Gentiles that are controlled by the sin of Babylon.
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!
The sin of Babylon is triggered by the evil and unclean spirit that leads to the building of Babylon or the bride of Satan that is perfect in evil and uncleanness. She will be destroyed in one hour.
The Gentiles must enter the ministry of the building of perfect body of Christ or the bride of heaven who is ready to greet the second coming of Jesus on the glorious clouds so that they do not become the bride of Satan or Babylon.
The conditions to serve the building of the perfect body of Christare as follows:
God blesses us.

The conditions to serve the building of the perfect body of Christare as follows:
- We must live in holiness.
Ephesians 4:11-12
4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
We must do the following things to live in holiness:- We must stay in the Holy Place, namely we have the perseverance in doing the three main services to god or the General Service, the Bible Study and Holy Communion Service, and the Worship Prayer Service. Thus, our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God, so the Trinity of Satan cannot touch us.
If we come out from the Holy Place, there is no guarantee to live in holiness. If we stay in Holy Place, whatever our condition is, there is hope to be sanctified. - We must obey the voice of shepherd, the trumpet, or the repeated true teaching word, so we experience the purification regularly until we are perfect.
The result is that our life becomes neat and beautiful in His time. - We must stay in the Holy Place, namely we have the perseverance in doing the three main services to god or the General Service, the Bible Study and Holy Communion Service, and the Worship Prayer Service. Thus, our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God, so the Trinity of Satan cannot touch us.
- We must become the servant of God who is good and faithful.
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.'
If we are holy, we can be good and faithful that cannot be hindered by anything.
Matthew 25:26,30
25:26 "But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
25:30 'And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
If we are not holy, we become the unfaithful, wicked, and lazy servant. We become unprofitable servant; we destroy the body of Christ. We live in darkness; we lose our way. We get the dark future, until perdition.
Let us be the good and faithful servant of God who serves to Him with a good conscience.
Actually the heart of man tends to do evil and unclean things. We get the good conscience through the 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 the ark 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 true water baptism means that one who has died to sin or repented must be buried in the water with Jesus and come out or rise from water with Him to receive new life and have the good conscience. The good conscience is able to differentiate firmly the right and the wrong things. It starts from discerning the true and false of teaching (it is about God), the consecration (ministry), the worship, the marriage, and everything. Then we can live in righteousness and holiness as well as be pleasant to God. We do good and right deeds and repay the evil with kindness. Our sayings are good and right as well as become blessing for others and we can testify.
We will be employed in the building of the perfect body of Christ. We experience the joy of heaven until we enter the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. - We must lay Jesus as the Head.
Matthew 8:20
8:20 And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
If the spirits of evil or fox and uncleanness or bird are expelled, Jesus will become the Head. The connection between the Body and Head is the neck. It refers to the worship prayer.
The worship prayer is the process of ripping the flesh with its lusts and wills that is the place of foxes and birds. It is the process of expelling the evil and unclean spirits from our life, so Holy Spirit will dwell in our life.
Romans 5:5
5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Holy Spirit pours the love of God, so we become strong and of good courage. We do neither get doubtful, disappointed, and desperate nor leave God, but we are faithful and fervent in ministry until the end line. We believe and hope to God. We place Jesus as the Head.
The examples and resultsare as follows:- David when he was in distress.
1 Samuel 30:6
30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
From outside, he faced the crisis in economy, marriage, and impossibilities. From inside, he was about stoned. David was strong and of good courage. He believed and hoped to God. He placed Jesus as the Head.
Then, God fought instead of David to give him victory, recover the marriage and children, and return everything that had vanished away.
1 Samuel 30:19
30:19 And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all. - A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years.
Mark 5:25-29
5:25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,
5:26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.
5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.
5:28 For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."
5:29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
Having flow of blood for twelve years means experiencing the illness, impossible problem, crisis of economy, the condition which is getting worse, and failure. This woman was strong and of good courage. She believed and hoped to God. Then, God was able to finish everything. - Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-Nego who faced the false teaching and worship, sins up to the peak, the impossible problems, and Antichrist.
Daniel 3:16-18
3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
3:17 "If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.
3:18 "But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up."
Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-Nego were strong and of good courage. They believed and hoped to God.
Daniel 3:24-25
3:24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "True, O king."
3:25 "Look!" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."
Then, Jesus as the Head will be with us until everything is finished, successful, and beautiful in His time. It continues until we are perfect when Jesus comes a second time.
- David when he was in distress.
God blesses us.
