Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 13:7
13:7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Verse 5-8 = the condition of the Antichrist.
Verse 7 = Satan gives the power to the Antichrist, so he has power in his deed to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
The meanings are as follows:
Who are the servants of God who are defeated by the Antichrist? They are the servants of God like the five virgins who were foolish and did not have the reserve of oil and their lamps were quenched.
The fact found in the foolish servant of God is starting in the Spirit (the spiritual man) but ending in the flesh. It means losing up to running out of the anointing oil of Holy Spirit, so the lamp goes out. He lives in the darkness up to the outer darkness on earth when the Antichrist reigns until the darkness in hell forever.
Galatians 3:3
3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
The examples are as follows:
The right thing is that we struggle in our life, so we start with the flesh but we end with the Spirit.
For example, Saul became Paul.
Acts 9:1-2
9:1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
9:2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Saul has served, but in the flesh, namely ambition, emotion, lust, and threat. Saul used the power of flesh, hated, killed, and resisted the word of God.
Acts 9:3,17
9:3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.
9:17 And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Fortunately, Saul received the light from heaven, so he was purified and anointed by Holy Spirit.
His serving had been blind, dark, or without any control, but after he received the light of Gospel, he was filled by Holy Spirit.
Saul became Paul, from the carnal man to going bound in the Spirit that overflow in Holy Spirit.
Acts 20:22-24
20:22 "And see, now I go bound in the spiritto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
20:23 "except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.
20:24 "But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
The sign of ministry with the oil reserve is obedience, faithfulness, and willingness to sacrifice anything even the life for ministering to God. It goes to the peak, namely praying and fasting, worshiping God until it fulfills the measurement, namely the flesh does not speak anymore. We feel the ambience of heaven. It is called the worship of the Bride, the one in perfect love.
2 Corinthians 6:3-5
6:3 We give no offense in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed.
6:4 But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,
6:5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;
"no offense in anything"means living in light.
"in sleeplessness, in fastings" means praying and fasting.
Now Jesus prays on the throne of heaven. Our prayer and worship also must reach the peak, namely the flesh does not speak anymore.
Song of Solomon 8:10
8:10 THE SHULAMITE I am a wall, And my breasts like towers; Then I became in his eyes As one who found peace.
"tower" refers to the high place, altar refers to the worship.
"breasts" refers to the place where a baby drinks the pure and spiritual milk or the shepherding word.
Thus, the servant of God who is powerless like a baby that depends on the shepherding word and the mercy of God will be fervent in receiving the word, so the worship prayer will lift up like the tower (the place of vigil).
Mark 14: 37-38
14:37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
14:38 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Let us be watchful, so we will not fall in temptation. It means that when we face the problems, we will not fall spiritually nor commit any sin, but we live in righteousness and holiness. We are not disappointed or desperate and do not leave God. We can be faithful and fervent in ministry. We worship, believe, and hope to God.
Keep on watching and praying until God helps us!
If we watch, we will experience the wall of fire or the wall of anointing of Holy Spirit.
Zechariah 2:5
2:5 'For I,' says the LORD, 'will be a wall of fireall around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.'"
This is the protection and caring of God for facing the arrow of fire from the evil. It continues until the time when the Antichrist reigns on earth. We are granted with the two wings of a great eagle to be evacuated to the wilderness; we are far away from the eyes of the serpent.
The wall also means the fellowship that starts from the family until it becomes the wall of the New Jerusalem.
Song of Solomon 8:10
8:10 THE SHULAMITE I am a wall, And my breasts like towers; Then I became in his eyes As one who found peace.
We are far from the eyes of the serpent, but we are close to the eyes of God.
The worship prayer is the same as seeing God only. Our hands are stretched out to God and our mouth cries out His name, and His eyes will see us in mercy.
Psalms 123:1-2
123:1 <<A Song of Ascents.>> Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.
123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He has mercy on us.
Let us be shepherded because there is the tower of the place of vigil, namely the place of protection, caring, unity, and the sweetness of household. When we cannot do anything, let us see God, and He will see us in mercy. Satan cannot see us. Jesus only can see and touch us from the highest place.
Psalms 102:19-20
102:19 For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary; From heaven the LORD viewed the earth,
102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To release those appointed to death,
God hears our prayer. He stretches out His merciful hands to free us from anything, even from the perdition. It means that we are changed to become perfect to see Him face to face when He comes a second time until we enter the Kingdom of Heaven forever.
God blesses us.
Revelation 13:7
13:7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Verse 5-8 = the condition of the Antichrist.
Verse 7 = Satan gives the power to the Antichrist, so he has power in his deed to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
The meanings are as follows:
- Tormenting until beheading the servants of God who worship Him when the Antichrist reigns on earth. Such life will be risen when Jesus comes a second time.
- Destroying the church of God forever in hell or making the church the same as the Antichrist. This is the group of people who worship the Antichrist because they cannot bear the persecution.
Who are the servants of God who are defeated by the Antichrist? They are the servants of God like the five virgins who were foolish and did not have the reserve of oil and their lamps were quenched.
The fact found in the foolish servant of God is starting in the Spirit (the spiritual man) but ending in the flesh. It means losing up to running out of the anointing oil of Holy Spirit, so the lamp goes out. He lives in the darkness up to the outer darkness on earth when the Antichrist reigns until the darkness in hell forever.
Galatians 3:3
3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
The examples are as follows:
- Judas Iscariot.
He was called and chosen by God. It means that he was purified and anointed by Holy Spirit, until he was appointed as the apostle and the treasurer. This refers to starting in the Spirit (the spiritual man).
Judas became unfaithful and left the ministry, so he lost the ministry and the gift of Holy Spirit. He ran out of the anointing oil of Holy Spirit, then he became the carnal man, and he was replaced by Matthias.
Why did Judas lose the anointing oil of Holy Spirit? It was because his heart was filled with the seven wills of evil and uncleanness, so the lamp was quenched.
Matthew 15:19
15:19 "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts(1), murders(2), adulteries(3), fornications(4), thefts(5), false witness(6), blasphemies(7).
"thefts" refers to the love of money.
The fact found in the heart that is filled with the seven sins is becoming the thief.
John 12:3-6
12:3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
12:4 Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said,
12:5 "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"
12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
The thief is the same as being stingy and greedy.
Being stingy means that one cannot give for the work of God and others who are in need.
Being greedy means that one steals God's, namely the tithe and the special offering as well as the belonging of others.
Acts 1:16-18,26
1:16 "Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus;
1:17 "for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry."
1:18 (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out.
1:26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Stealing God's refers to selling Jesus.
As a result, "he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out" means that all his evil, uncleanness, and decay were known to many, but there was no opportunity to fix it anymore. He was humiliated and destroyed forever by the Antichrist, and then he was replaced by Matthias.
It is better now to listen to the sharp word of God that reveals all our evil, uncleanness, and decay to throw it all away. - Saul.
1 Samuel 10:6
10:6 "Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.
Saul started with the Spirit but he ended in flesh, so he was replaced by David.
Saul lost the anointing oil of Holy Spirit because he was disobedient to the word, unfaithful, and full of hatred without a cause.
The right thing is that we struggle in our life, so we start with the flesh but we end with the Spirit.
For example, Saul became Paul.
Acts 9:1-2
9:1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
9:2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Saul has served, but in the flesh, namely ambition, emotion, lust, and threat. Saul used the power of flesh, hated, killed, and resisted the word of God.

20:22 "And see, now I go bound in the spiritto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
20:23 "except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.
20:24 "But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
