(To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III)
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28: 20b28:20b .....and lo, I am with you always, evento the end of the age.” Amen.The accompaniment of God until the last age means that
He accompanies us, starting from now until His second coming on glory clouds and we sit beside Him on the throne of God forever.
For example is Moses asked the accompaniment of God when Israel went out from Egypt to Canaan. And also Solomon is led by God because of being strong and of good courage.
1 Chronicles 28:2028:20 And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it;do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LordGod—my God—will bewith you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.We must be strong and of good courage to be led by God and employed in the building of the perfect body of Christ.
1 Kings 7:217:21 Then he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name Boaz.Solomon builds two pillars of the temple of God which were called Jachin and Boaz.
1 Kings 7:13-157:13 Now King Solomon sent and brought Huram from Tyre.
7:14 He wasthe son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father wasa man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.
7:15 And he cast two pillars of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each.Huram from Tyre who made those pillars is a Gentile. The Gentiles can take part in the building of the pillars of the temple in the days of Salomon.
It means Gentiles can take part in the building of the perfect body of Christ. This is the mercy and God’s trust that cost Jesus’ blood. It cannot be traded with anything.
There are three kinds of pillar in the building of God’s temple as follows:
- The age of Moses. It is the pillar of tabernacle.
There are sixty pillars divided into two partsas follows:
- Four pillars of the gate. It refers to four people who write four Gospels which are the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
- Fifty six pillars. It is counted from Abraham to Joseph.
Luke 3:23-34
3:23 Now Jesus Himself began His ministry atabout thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) theson of Joseph, the sonof Heli,
3:24 the sonof Matthat, the sonof Levi, the sonof Melchi, the sonof Janna, the sonof Joseph,
3:25 the sonof Mattathiah, the sonof Amos, the sonof Nahum, the sonof Esli, the sonof Naggai,
3:26 the sonof Maath, the sonof Mattathiah, the sonof Semei, the sonof Joseph, the sonof Judah,
3:27 the sonof Joannas, the sonof Rhesa, the sonof Zerubbabel, the sonof Shealtiel, the sonof Neri,
3:28 the sonof Melchi, the sonof Addi, the sonof Cosam, the sonof Elmodam, the sonof Er,
3:29 the sonof Jose, the sonof Eliezer, the sonof Jorim, the sonof Matthat, the sonof Levi,
3:30 the sonof Simeon, the sonof Judah, the sonof Joseph, the sonof Jonan, the sonof Eliakim,
3:31 the sonof Melea, the sonof Menan, the sonof Mattathah, the sonof Nathan, the sonof David,
3:32 the sonof Jesse, the sonof Obed, the sonof Boaz, the sonof Salmon, the sonof Nahshon,
3:33 the sonof Amminadab, the sonof Ram, the sonof Hezron, the sonof Perez, the sonof Judah,
3:34 the sonof Jacob, the sonof Isaac, the sonof Abraham, …
Sixty pillars are called the pillar of faith or the hero of faith. For example is Matthew wrote the Gospel according to Matthew. It refers to Jesus as a King.
Psalm 20:9
20:9 Save, Lord!May the King answer us when we call.
The character of King is winning over the sin.
Matthew 9:9
9:9 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.”So he arose and followed Him.
Matthew is same as Levi or the servant of God that supposed to sit in the temple of God and serve God. But he sat in the tax office, meaning being bound by the wickedness sin or the bond of money, thus he becomes stingy and greedy.
Being stingymeans one cannot give.
Being greedymeans taking others’ right (corruption, debt without paying off, et cetera) and God’s (the tithe and special offerings).
The wickedness sin is in one package with the uncleanness sin, eating-drinking sin (smoking, getting drunk, drugs abuse) and marrying-being given in marriage (sexual sins, the wrong marriage), thus one serves Satan.
The pillar of faith must win from sin or be free from sin. The practice of living in righteousness or being free from sins is to give and visit others. The result is being employed in the revival of building of Christ’s body and being blessed to our descendants.
- The pillar of temple in the days of Solomon.
1 Kings 7:21
7:21 Then he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name Boaz.
Jachin means God will establish. Boaz means strength in Lord God.
If both of them turn into one, the meaning will become being strong and of good courage. The practice is as follows:
- Holding fast to the true teaching Word that is revealed by God. The secret is opened through one verse that is explained by another verse in Bible.
1 Chronicles 28:19
28:19 “All this,” said David,“the Lordmade me understand in writing, by Hishand upon me, all the works of these plans.”
We will not be doubted by strange teaching.
Romans 16:17
16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
The one who teaches another teaching will makedivisions and offenses to another. We must avoid them. Do not do fellowship with them. The one who follows another teaching will also cause the divisions and offenses.
- Living in righteousness or not sinning whatever the risk may come.
For example is Joseph being tempted by Potiphar’s wife. But Joseph keeps on living in righteousness although he must be thrown in prison.
- Not being disappointed or desperate and not leaving God when facing the tribulation, but believing and trusting God and not seeking for the way which is not according to the Word.
1 Chronicles 28:20
28:20 And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it;do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LordGod—my God—will bewith you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
The Lord God will be with us and finish our problems until the perfect body of Christ.
The false teaching is building two pillars in Dagon’s temple.
Judges 16:23-27, 29
16:23 Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And they said: “Our god has delivered into our hands Samson our enemy!”
16:24 When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: “Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, the destroyer of our land, and the one who multiplied our dead.”
16:25 So it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, “Call for Samson, that he may perform for us.” So they called for Samson from the prison, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
16:26 Then Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars which support the temple, so that I can lean on them.”
16:27 Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines werethere—about three thousand men and women on the roof watching while Samson performed.
16:29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars which supported the temple, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the other on his left.
Dagon’s temple with two pillars refers to the false ministry without the true teaching Word with two pillars of prosperity and entertainment. The result is three hundred people spiritually die; their life is not pure and cannot reach the perfection but perdition. The number three hundred refers to the measurement of the Holy Place and the Holy of Holiest.
- The pillar in New Jerusalem.
Revelation 3:12, 7-8
3:12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on himMy new name.
3:7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:
3:8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
The term to enter the New Jerusalem is obeying to the Word until the flesh does not sound anymore and being faithful and fervent.
The obedience equals to being well shepherded, stretching hand to God and He will stretch His hand of mercy and kindness or the key of David.
The key of David or the mercy and kindness of God is to close the doors. It means protecting us from sins until the peak of sins, the false teaching, and the punishment of God.
Revelation 3:10
3:10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
The key of David or the mercy and kindness of God is to open the doorsthat cannot be closed by anyone.
- It starts from opening the doors in the world. It means the way out from all problems including the impossible ones. There is beautiful future and joy. The key of David also uplifts from failure to success.
- Opening the Heaven’s door or the New Jerusalem to pour blessing upon us and care our life in miracle. The life that falls in sin will be lifted and recovered, so we are able to live in righteousness. The mercy and kindness of God renew carnal men to become spiritual one like Jesus. The life renewal starts from honesty or nothing is hidden.
Revelation 21:11
21:11 having the glory of God. Her light waslike a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
The prayer of upright people will be answered by God. When Jesus comes a second time, we will be received up with Him to New Jerusalem.
God blesses us.
