Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 19:15
19:15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.The attitude towards the sword of the Word determines the destiny of our life.
The
positiveattitude is receiving it, namely hearing and obeying it until we are sanctified and perfected.
2 John 1:9 1:9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.The
negativeattitude is stepping away from the sword of the Word or leaving the true teachings. Consequently, the sword of sanctification will become the sword of judgment.
Why can one go out of the true teachings? It is because of not being satisfied in the shepherding which is brought up by the sword of the Word like Esau.
Genesis 25:25 25:25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau. Esau refers to the one who has been blessed by God physically and spiritually.
The red color refers to the sign of blood or the redemption by the blood of Jesus or repentance.
The hairy garment refers to living in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
The firstborn son has the firstborn right as well as the right to get married or become the heavenly bride for entering the marriage supper of the Lamb. It also refers to the right to inherit the kingdom of God.
Why is one dissatisfied? It is because of liking hunting in the field until often leaving the tent or the shepherding pen. It means looking for the fleshly need or physical interest until not being shepherded.
The world on the last days is controlled by the spirit of hunting the flesh anywhere, namely at school, in the office, and in the church. There is the hunting for marriage partner or adultery also until leaving the true shepherding or going out of the true teaching Word. The signs are follows:
- Being fornicator or profane person.
Hebrews 12:16
12:16 lest there be any fornicator or profane personlike Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.
It means always sacrificing the spiritual matters such as the true teachings, service and ministry to God, and truth for getting the physical ones.
- Having the root of bitterness.
Hebrews 12:15
12:15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitternessspringing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
It means hating or envying the ones who have been blessed by God because one feels that he lives by the physical blessings, not by the grace of God. He cannot look at the grace of God; even he is far away from it.
It also means the hatred, envy, and revenge to ones who are used by God.
2 Timothy 2:16-18
2:16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
2:17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,
2:18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.
The root of bitterness spreads like cancer that kills through the meaningless words that are not holy, including gossips, and so on. It also spreads to the ones whose faith is weak until the faith dies.
It continues up to the hatred without a cause like the Antichrist that hates the church. It means being the same as the Antichrist that will be destroyed and weeping forever in the hell.
Hebrews 12:17
12:17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
Revelation 12:17
12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The target of the Antichrist is the church that has the commandments of God or the Table of Showbread and the testimony of Jesus Christ or the Golden Candlestick, but without the Golden Altar of Incense, namely not worshiping God or the worship has not reached the measurement, namely the flesh still speaks.
Such life will enter the persecution of the Antichrist. There will be two possibilities as follows:
- He keeps on worshiping God, so he is persecuted until being beheaded.
- He cannot stand receiving the persecution, so he worships the Antichrist and gets the perdition.
Revelation 11:1-2
11:1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.
11:2 "But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.
The worship is measured by the rod of the shepherd or the shepherding Word. It refers to the true teaching Word which is repeated by a pastor. The measurement is the torn Veil, namely the torn flesh until it does not speak anymore and the characteristics of Jesus enter into our life. We get the life renewal from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like Jesus is. We are adorned with the spiritual adornment.
1 Peter 3:3-6
3:3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--
3:4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
3:5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissiveto their own husbands,
3:6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
The results are as follows:
- Being gentle. It means the ability for receiving the true teaching Word or hearing and obeying it.
For example, the woman of Canaan had a demon-possessed child. It means that the Gentiles only become like a dog licking vomit, namely in gossips, lies, and slanders, if they are without the true teaching Word until the marriage and children are in destruction.
After receiving the teaching Word, our words are changed, so we can confess sins, testify, and worship God. Our marriage and children are restored.
Being gentle also means the ability to forgive the sin of others and forget it.
- Being quiet.
- Not commenting negative words, but doing the introspection in our life much more. Finding sin, we must confess and leave the sin.
- Surrendering to God and praying.
- Repenting and praying. We get the power of God to make the storm in the sea of the world calm. It refers to the power of God to solve all impossible problems and give peace, so all things become easy and light.
- Being submissive.
1 Peter 1:22
1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,
We live in holiness and love one another.
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 are equipped with the ministry and gifts of Holy Spirit for being used in the ministry for the edification of Christ's body.
For example, Sarah was obedient until she got the power for opening the door of her womb. God gives way out of all impossible problems as well as the door of the beautiful and successful future life. It continues until we are changed to be perfect for welcoming Jesus' second coming. The doors of the marriage supper of the Lamb, Paradise, and heavenly kingdom are opened for us.
God blesses you.
