Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation chapter 19-20 refers to the second coming of Jesus in the glory as the King of kings [verse 6], the Heavenly Bridegroom [verse 7], the High Priest who is faithful and true [verse 11-16], and the righteous Judge [Revelation 19:17 to Revelation 20].
The two possibilities are as follows:
- The church of God who is ready and perfect as Jesus is will surely be lifted up to meet Jesus as the King of kings, the Heavenly Bridegroom, and the High Priest on the glorious clouds to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God, Paradise, and the New Jerusalem.
- Those who do not trust Jesus, so they do not experience the redemption or the freedom from sin by the blood of Jesus but keep living in the sins up to the peak, including the church of God who does not repent, will surely meet Jesus as the righteous Judge to punish and destroy them.
Mark 7:37 7:37. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."In the preparation time or the one of God's longsuffering, Jesus is working with His love to fix the church of God who is deaf and mute, so we have the good ear. It means only hearing and obeying the voice of God, namely the true teaching Word. The mouth also becomes good, namely in honesty, as well as produces the true and good words. Starting from Eve, there are many people whose ear and mouth are broken.
Eve refers to mother or the shepherd.
It means that Jesus is preparing His church to enter the second breaking of bread [Mark 8]. It refers to the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain or the building of the perfect body of Christ, namely the bride who is ready to greet Jesus when He comes a second time. The building of the body of Christ starts from marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, and so on.
The relationship between Jesus as the Head and us as the body is in the neck. It refers to the worship prayer.
John 9:37-389:37. And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."
9:38. Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshipedHim.The worship prayer means as follows:
- We just see and talk with Jesus.
- We pour out our heart to God such as our failure, difficulties, impossibilities, sadness, et cetera.
- We totally trust and commit ourselves to God. We stretch out our hands to God.
As a result, God will stretch out His merciful and powerful hands to us.
The results are as follows:
- We shall not be moved. It means being strong and of good courage.
Psalm 16:8
16:8. I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Looking at men, one who is strong will become weak, and the weak will be desperate.
Looking at God, one who is weak will become strong. Being strong and of good courage means that we do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God in facing anything. We keep holding fast the true teaching Word and obey it, so we are not driven and tossed by the false teaching and gossip. We do not sin but keep living in righteousness and holiness.
John 16:33
16:33. "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
We win over the world because we are with God. It means as follows:
- The victory over the wind, waves, and tempest of the world. It refers to the impossible problems in all things. There is the power to finish all of impossible problems.
- There is the power to set us free from weariness, heavy burden, toil, and tears, so we experience peace. All things become easy and light.
- We are more faithful and fervent in the ministry according to the ministry that God gives to us.
James 4:4
4:4. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
- We experience the power of the renewal of life from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones.
John 9:41
9:41. Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.
We can see but we keep feeling blind. It means as follows:
- Not seeing others' mistake but doing the introspection in our life by the sharpness of the Word of God. Finding sin, we must confess to God and others. Do not sin anymore after being forgiven! It means repenting. Finding no sin, we must keep silent. Do not defend ourselves!
- Feeling powerless and unable to do anything, so we just rely on God. We trust and cry to God, so He gives the miracle steps, and takes away all of impossibilities. He gives us the beautiful and successful future.
It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are changed to become as perfect as He is. We look at Jesus face to face on the glorious clouds. We enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God, Paradise, and the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 22:3-4
22:3. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
22:4. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.
We belong to God forever.
God blesses us.
