Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 21:1521:15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.There are three things which is measured by the gold reed, as follows:
- The city of the New Jerusalem.
- The wall.
- The gate.
We learn the second point, namely the wall.Revelation 21:17 21:17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.144 = 12x12 --> the very close fellowship until it cannot be separated forever.
There are two kinds of measurementas follows:
- 144 cubits according the measure of a man refers to the fellowship among others. It starts from marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding. It is loving each other or the second tablet of the two tablets of stone .
The facts found within it are as follows:
- Do not owe the sin! It means that we must make peace, confess and forgive sin one another.
Romans 13:8
13:8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
We experience the peace. Everything becomes easy and light.
- Do not harm nor do evil things to others!
Romans 12:21
12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
We must do good deed until repaying evil with kindness.
- 144 cubits according the measure of an angel refers to the fellowship between God and us. It is loving God more than anything or the first tablet of the two tablets of stone.
The facts found within it are as follows:
- Obedience until the flesh does not speak anymore.
John 14:15
14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
- Worshiping and ministering to God delightfully.
Mark 12:30-3312:30 'And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.12:31 "And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."12:32 So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.12:33 "And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."If we enter the very close fellowship with God and others, we will have the twotablets of stone or the perfect love.
Romans 5:5 5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.The results are as follows:
- We get the wisdom of heaven.
Mark 12:34
12:34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him.
The meanings are as follows:
- The power of protection and caring of God for our life in the midst of difficulties of the world until the age when Antichrist reigns on earth for three and a half years.
Revelation 13:16-18
13:16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
13:17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
- The power of employment of God upon our life in the building of the spiritual house with seven pillars.
Proverbs 9:1
9:1 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;
James 3:17
3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first (1)pure, then (2)peaceable, (3)gentle, (4)willing to yield, (5)full of mercy and good fruits, (6)without partiality and (7)without hypocrisy.
The lamp keeps burning or we are employed to become the witness of God to save souls until perfection.
- [Mark 12:34] We are not far from the kingdom of God. It refers to living in this world but we feel the ambience of heaven. We experience the joy of heaven that cannot be influenced by anything in this world. We feel joy in the midst of sufferings. We always give thanks to God.
- [Mark 12:34] No more question.
We experience the glory of heaven or the shekinah glory. It is the power of life renewal from flesh man to the spiritual one like Jesus, namely honesty.
There is no more question. It means that we get he power for solving all impossible problems in our life. The sins are finished and the problems are too.
The question or the biggest problem is about the teaching. Havinga lot of questionsabout the teaching means that we have a lot of problems, tears, and sins.
God blesses us.
