Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:15-19 are about the sound of the seventh or the last trumpet.
Revelation 11:1511:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lordand of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
The seventh trumpet shows Jesus who comes for the second time on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King of all kings and the heavenly Bridegroom to establish the kingdom of heaven in the world, namely the One-Thousand-Years Kingdom of Peace or the future paradise until we really enter the kingdom of heaven or the New Jerusalem forever.
We can see the longing of God to establish the kingdom of heaven in the world through the Lord's Prayer.
Matthew 6:9-106:9 "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
6:10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
We also must have the longing of Jesus that on earth as it is in heaven. It means that we long for the kingdom of heaven on earth, starting from now, the One -Thousand -Years Kingdom of Peace or the future paradise, until the eternal kingdom of heaven forever.
Therefore, we must pray much in the manner that was taught by Jesus and do it in our daily life.
The Lord's Prayer must be lifted by the Son of God or Jesus who is admitted as His Son.
How about us? We also can pray because we are admitted as the children of God.
The process of Jesus' being admitted as the Son of God and we as His children are as follows:
- The water baptism.
Matthew 3:13-17
3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
3:14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"
3:15 But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.
3:16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
The term 'to fulfill all righteousness' means that if we do the things according to the will of God, we will feel the heavenly kingdom. Outside His will, men only feel that they are in the kingdom of heaven, but at the last time they enter the hell. .
Jesus is admitted as the Son of God through the true water baptism.
We are also admitted as the children of God through the true water baptism.
Jesus is the only sinless man, but He entered the true water baptism even though it was only for the sinful man. Why? He did it for the following things:
- To fulfil the will of God, namely He must be made as the sinful man to bear the sins of men.
- To give the example about the true water baptism.
Romans 6:4
6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
We must be baptized like Jesus was.
The true water baptism is that one who has believed Jesus and repented or died to sin must be buried in water with Him, so he arises from water with Him and gets the new life or the heavenly life, namely he is admitted as the children of God.
What must be renewed in the water baptism? In the water baptism, we must renew the conscience that tends to do the wickedness to the good or the sincere one.
1 Peter 3:20-22
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,
3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
The term 'at the right hand of God" tells that through the water baptism, we have the connection with the kingdom of heaven.
The meanings of the sincere conscience are as follows:
- We can differentiate between the true teaching word and the wrong one, so we can also differentiate the right things and the wrong ones. It is the same as living in the righteousness and peace. If we live in the righteousness, we will be in peace that is the children of God. If men do not live in the righteousness, they will not be peaceful.
- We can feel something that is not right, so we are in silence much.
When we are silent and calm, we feel the kingdom of heaven on the earth even though we are in the midst of waves like Jesus.
Mark 4:38-39
4:38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"
4:39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
If we are silent and calm, we will experience the power of resurrection to calm the wind and waves in the sea of the world and defeat the power of death from the trinity of Satan.
1 Peter 3:21-22
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,
3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
The results are as follows:
- We are saved and blessed by God.
- We experience the peace, so all things are easy and light.
So, on the face of the water which is ranging, God shows His love to save us, His children. It is the kingdom of heaven on the earth. Our life becomes easy and light.
- The worship prayer.
Luke 9:28-30,35
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.
9:29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
9:30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.
9:35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son.Hear Him!"
We are admitted as the children of God through the worship prayer.
The worship prayer is the process to tear the flesh with all of its desires and characteristics, so we experience the life renewal from the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Jesus, starting from our face or the five senses.
One of the five senses is the ears. They are changed to be obedient and faithful. Jesus was obedient and faithful to the point of death on the cross. Likewise, we must be obedient and faithful until the flesh does not speak anymore. We are obedient even though we must sacrifice all things.
The term 'His robe became white and glistening' means that if we are obedient and faithful, we will live in the holiness. Let us keep the holiness! Let us show that we are holy through our holy deeds, not pretending to be holy.
Jesus was obedient, faithful, and holy, so He was admitted as the chosen Son of God.
Men who are chosen are the High Priest and the priests.
The requirement to be the priest is the holiness.
We also become the children of God who are chosen or the priests and kings. It means that we become the citizens of the heavenly kingdom.
On the hill of worship, God shows His love as the High Priest and the King of all kings to appoint us as the priests and kings who are obedient, holy, and faithful.
Deuteronomy 11:13-14
11:13 ' And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heartand with all your soul,
11:14 'then I will give you the rainfor your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.
The term 'earnestly obey My commandments which I command you' refers to the obedience.
The term 'serve Him with all your heart' refers to the faithfulness.
If we are obedient and faithful, we will live in the atmosphere of Canaan that relies on the rain. We only cry out "Abba, Father" and God will pour out the Holy Spirit rain abundantly. It is our need.
The results are as follows:
- The spiritual miracle or the following things:
- The life renewal starting from the mouth. We become the witness of God and the house of prayer.
The witness of God is the position as the citizen of the heavenly kingdom.
- Gathering the wheat or the word of God, wine or the love, and oil or the Holy Spirit. It means that we are shepherded.
- The physical miracle happens as follows:
- The abundant protection and preservation in the midst of difficulties in the world until the age when the Antichrist rules over the world.
- The Holy Spirit rain flows to the valleys. The valley of tears becomes the hill of heavenly joy, the valley of failure becomes the success and beauty and the valley of impossibilities become possibility.
- When Jesus comes for the second time, we are changed to be perfect and worthy to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds. We are worthy to enter the One-Thousand-Years kingdom of peace or the future paradise. We are joyful until we enter the heavenly kingdom forever.
God blesses you.
