Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 10 in the arrangement of Tabernacle tells about the seven sprinklings of blood on the Mercy Seat.
The meaning is the suffering of Jesus until He died on the cross to shadow and perfect us like He is.
Jesus experienced the seven sprinklings blood, so He also experienced the lights of glory.
Revelation 10:1-3
10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, (1) clothed with a cloud. (2) And a rainbow was on his head, (3) his face was like the sun, (4) and his feet like pillars of fire. 10:2 (5) He had a little book open in his hand. (6) And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 10:3 (7) and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. Jesus appears with the seven lights of glory to shine upon us, the sinners, so one day we also become perfect and glorious like He is.
We learn the fifth point, namely "He had a little book open in his hand."
The open little book refers to the revealing of the secret of the Word of God, namely one verse explains another verse in Bible. It is the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
God gives the revealing0f the secret of His Word for us with the following purposes:
- We will not stray because of another teaching, false teaching, or the teaching outside the Bible.
- We will not be wild.
Proverbs 29:1829:18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.Exodus 32:2532:25 Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies), Being wild means as follows:
- One is not shepherded or has no perseverance in doing the three main services to God, but wanders.
- One cannot abide in the true teaching Word because it is not suitable with the flesh.
- One cannot eat the true teaching Word.
Isaiah 31:131:1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the LORD!The facts found within wild lifeare as follows:
- He cannot depend on God, but the wealth, power, knowledge, and title.
- He does not seek for God, but the earthly things such as prosperity and fleshly entertainment.
- His life is not in order, not polite, and not well-organized. He uses the manners of the world in the service to God such as wearing clothes impolitely, preaching the Word impolitely, and praising God and listening to the Word improperly (being sleepy, chatting, or doing other things). Remember, God replies the things according to our deed.
Jeremiah 5:85:8 They were like well-fed lusty stallions; Every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.The result of wild life is living in over lusts or wills of flesh and sins up to the peak that is the sins of eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, drugs abuse) and marrying-being given in marriage (fornication, uncleanness, the wrong marriage, mixed-marriage, divorce-remarrying, free sex).
Revelation 17:4-517:4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 17:5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.If we live in sins up to the peak, we will go to the building of Babylon (the false church or the perfection in evil and uncleanness) that will be destroyed forever.
Entering the service to God means learning in entering the heaven.
Receiving the revealing of the secret of the Word is painful for flesh, but the result is our neat, tidy, and well-organized life physically and spiritually.
Ephesians 2:21-222:21 in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 2:22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.In building the body of Christ, we can build and give strength to each other.
If we ruin, destroy, and deceive each other, we will enter the building of Babylon.
Matthew 21:1-321:1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 21:2 saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 21:3 "And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."Approaching the second coming of Jesus, we will enter the difficult time. For that reason, we must stay closer to God, be shepherded in the true teaching Word, and experience the purification.
Genesis 49:1149:11 Binding his donkey to the vine, And his donkey's colt to the choice vine, He washed his garments in wine, And his clothes in the blood of grapes.If we are wild (we are not shepherded well, but eat the wrong food) and only seek for the entertainment and prosperity for the flesh, we will go to curse, labor, heavy burden, up to the perdition in hell forever.
Entering the building of the perfect body of Christ is the grace and trust of God. Ministering in the building of the body of Christ begins from serving in the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, up to the building of the perfect body of Christ faithfully and righteously.
Matthew 21:7-821:7 They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. 21:8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.The facts found within entering the revival of the last rain are as follows:
- Entering the revival of faith.It means that there is no more anxiety about daily life, so we can prioritize God more than anything. We willingly sacrifice anything for God. we can live in faithfulness and righteousness.
- Entering the revival of worship prayer.It means ripping the flesh and its lust, will, power, cleverness, and wealth, until surrendering fully to God (trusting and entrusting the life to God). Then, Jesus will employ our life.
Daniel 7:9
7:9 "I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire;
Being employed by God means that we become the throne of God on earth. There is the fire of Holy Spirit.
The fire of Holy Spirit is able to do the thingsas follows:
- The power of renewal.It renews the carnal man into the spiritual one like Jesus. It starts from the tongue or saying. The lie becomes honesty, until we can testify and worship God.
Acts 2:3-4
2:3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
- The power of protection, caring, and victory.
2 Kings 6:16-17
6:16 So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
The power of protectionwill become the fiery fence to protect us from the things as follows:
- The sins up to the peak and the false teaching, so we can live in righteousness and holiness.
- The temptations, so we still believe in God and will not get disappointed or despair.
The power of caringis able to care us miraculously (our life becomes easy and light) and give peace (we feel God's love only).
The power of victorymeans that God will fight instead of us, so all problems are finished; even the impossible ones.
- The power of lifting up.
2 Kings 2:11
2:11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
God is able to exalt make everything successful and beautiful, and lift us up to the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time. We will be happy together with Him forever.
God blesses us.
