Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 6:1-2
6:1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see."
6:2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
The punishment of the first seal is the punishment over sin.
Jesus died on the cross to carry all sins, curses, and punishments, so the sinners who believe in Him will not be punished or destroyed.
Revelation 5:5
5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
The Lion of the tribe of Judah refers to Jesus who is worthy to open the secret of Word of God.
Amos 3:7-8
3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing,unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
3:8 A lion has roared!Who will not fear?The Lord God has spoken!Who can but prophesy?
The roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah refers to the revelation of the Word, the prophetic Word, the true teaching Word, or the Bride Tidings. The prophetic Word conveys all the things that have not happened yet but they will happen surely, especially it is about two things as follows:
Before God punishes the world, He has revealed His decision to us through the Bride Tidings. The Bride Tidings also gives the way out and shelter.
The example is the flood at the age of Noah.
Genesis 6:5-8
6:5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
6:7 So the Lord said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."
6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Why did God punish the world with the flood? Because the heart of man was only evil continually, so it resulted the sin up to the peak, namely eating-drinking (smoke, getting drunk, drugs abuse) and marrying-being given in marriage as well as the deed that made the heart of God grieved, parents sore, and the shepherd lament. Thus, God had to punish the man on earth.
Before the punishment came, God had revealed His decision to Noah. He also gave the way out and shelter, namely Noah's Ark. It made eight persons saved.
On the last days, before the punishment comes, God has revealed the way out through the Bride Tidings and given the shelter, namely the Noah's Ark in spiritual meaning as follows:
God blesses us.

3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing,unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
3:8 A lion has roared!Who will not fear?The Lord God has spoken!Who can but prophesy?
The roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah refers to the revelation of the Word, the prophetic Word, the true teaching Word, or the Bride Tidings. The prophetic Word conveys all the things that have not happened yet but they will happen surely, especially it is about two things as follows:
- The second coming of Jesusin glory as the King of kings or the Bridegroom of Heaven to purify His church to become the Bride of Heaven that is ready to greet Him on the glorious clouds.
- The punishment that will come. The Bride Tidings reveals the future punishment up to the hell forever.
Before God punishes the world, He has revealed His decision to us through the Bride Tidings. The Bride Tidings also gives the way out and shelter.
The example is the flood at the age of Noah.
Genesis 6:5-8
6:5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
6:7 So the Lord said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."

On the last days, before the punishment comes, God has revealed the way out through the Bride Tidings and given the shelter, namely the Noah's Ark in spiritual meaning as follows:
- The life that has died to sin or repented must be buried in the water with Jesus and come out or rise from water with Him to receive a new life or a good conscience.
1 Peter 3:20-21
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,
We live in righteousness and goodness. We can do good and true deeds.
1 Chronicles 29:17-18
29:17 I know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You.
29:18 O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You.
The fact found within it is that we can give with sincere heart for the ministry of the Body of Christ and others who are in need. The sincere heart contains the grace, so we are saved and blessed by God until to our descendant and we become blessing for others. - Tabernacle.
Genesis 6:16
6:16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
The ark was composed of three rooms like Tabernacle.
We must become the life that is shepherded well and true. The requirements are as follows:- We must stay in the sheepfold or the perseverance in three main services. In sheepfold, our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God. Thus, we cannot be touched by anything.
- We are shepherded to the true teaching Word or the true Vine.
John 21:15-19
21:15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs."
21:16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep."
21:17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.
21:18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."
21:19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, "Follow Me."
Peter is shepherded well and true. He perseveres in sheep fold and experiences the ministry of the Chief Shepherd.
The results are as follows:- 'Peter was grieved'means the renewal of conscience from the hard one to the good one.
The fact found within it is that we can confess our sins and weakness to God and others. After we are forgiven, do not sin anymore. The heart feels peace.
John 21:18
21:18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."
The good conscience is the obedient one until the flesh does not sound anymore.
1 John 3:21-22
3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.
3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
The heart does not condemn us means that we have confidence to believe, worship, cry out, and surrender to God.
Then, the great mercy hands of God are stretched out towards us. - The hands of Good Shepherd are stretched out to give certainty of life caring in the difficult time, the successful and beautiful future, up to the eternal life.
John 10:27-28
10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
The hands of Good Shepherd finish all impossible problems. The dead will live and the impossible things become possible.
Hebrews 13:20-21
13:20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
13:21 make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
The great mercy hands of Chief Shepherd complete us with the ministry and gifts of Holy Spirit, so we can be employed in the revival of Holy Spirit at the last rain. The more we are employed, the more beautiful our life is.
1 Peter 5:4
5:4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
We are purified and changed, so we will not wither, but keep faithful and fervent until the end line. When Jesus comes a second time, we are changed to become perfect as He is. We receive the crown of Bride to become worthy to greet His second coming.
- We must stay in the sheepfold or the perseverance in three main services. In sheepfold, our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God. Thus, we cannot be touched by anything.
God blesses us.
