Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation8:128:12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.The fourth angel sounded means the fourth punishment of the Son of God for the world that refuses the sound of trumpet or the hard teaching word that is repeated. The world refuses the purification.
It is signified by a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and the third of the stars that were darkened.
John11:1011:10 "But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."It is the same as living in the darkness and becoming the stumbling block. It means that one easily stumbles, gets upset, disappointed, and desperate, leaves God and sins. He also becomes the stumbling block for others, so they fall in sin and refuse God.
Matthew18:618:6 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.As a result, a millstone were hung around his neck, and he was drowned in the depth of the sea. It means laboring, being heavy laden, sorrow, and full of tears, experiencing the difficulties in economy, impossible problems, and failure, and the life is not beautiful. It continues until drowning in the lake of fire and brimstone or hell forever.
Revelation18:2118:21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.The way out is that we must pay attention to the neck. The neck is the closest connection between the Head and Body. It refers to the worship prayer.ead
Thus, we must worship God a lot.
In worship prayer, the neck is hung by the following thingsas follows:
- The true teaching word.
Proverbs6:20-24
6:20 My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.
6:21 Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.
6:22 When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.
6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
6:24 To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
The true teaching word purifies our life from the darkness of sins up to the ones of Babylon, so we live in holiness or the light. We will not become the stumbling block, but the witness of God. We become the witness of God, so others come to God and are saved. They can grow in the teaching word.
- The love of God.
Proverbs3:3
3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,
The resultsare as follows:
- We experience the heavenly bliss.
Luke9:28,33
9:28 Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
9:33 Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" --not knowing what he said.
In worship prayer, the faithful love of God is able to forgive, redeem, and set us free from the sins up to the peak, so we can live in righteousness and holiness (experiencing the moonlight). We will experience the heavenly bliss.
Psalms32:1-2
32:1 <<A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.>> Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
32:2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
- The faithful love of God is able to establish His call and election to us.
Luke9:35
9:35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!"
It is the same as experiencing the star light or the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we can minister to God faithfully and fervently until the end line. It means keeping the beautiful robe until the end line. Thus, everything will become beautiful and successful in time.
- The faithful love of God is able to glorify us.
Luke9:29
9:29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
It is the same as changing us from carnal men to spiritual ones like Jesus. It starts from the countenance until we are as perfect as Jesus is. We experience the sunlight.
Luke9:30
9:30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Elijah had pale face because of fear, worry, and despair when he faced Jezebel or the false teaching.
1 Kings19:1-4
19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword.
19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."
19:3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!"
The matter of prayed that he might die refers to the spiritual death.
The spiritual death means leaving the true teaching word because of being afraid to the false teaching. It also means leaving the right ministry.
Elijah experienced the life renewal through the sunlight and he became strong and of good courage until his face was beaming. He held fast the true teaching word, served to God faithfully and fervently, believed, and hoped to Him until he was lifted up to heaven.
Moses had a gloomy, angry, and desperate face when he faced Israel, until he was sentenced that he could not enter Canaan. Through the worship prayer, he experienced the life renewal, so his face was beaming and he could step on the mountain in Canaan. The impossible thing becomes possible.
It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are renewed until perfect. We see Jesus face to face until we enter the New Jerusalem.
God blesses us.
