Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:15-19are about the sound of the seventh or the last trumpet.
The seventh trumpet shows the three things as follows:
ad. 2.
Revelation 11:18
11:18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
The seventh trumpet shows the wrath of God to the world and the people who deserve to get it, namely the three times of condemnation, doomsday, until the hell forever.
But, He also gives the reward to the people who deserve to get it, namely the reward in the world up to the eternal life in heaven.
So, the seventh trumpet shows Jesus as the righteous Judge. It means that the seventh trumpet is shows the firm separation between the servants and the ministers of God who deserve to get the eternal life in heaven and those who deserve to get the eternal condemnation in hell forever. Let us be careful because two people in the same bed also can be separated.
The firm separation also happened in the Gethsemane where the servant of God faced the difficulties, troubles, tears, impossibilities, and persecution because of Jesus. At that time, there will be the people who are not strong, so they get the condemnation, but the strong ones get the reward.
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."
Therefore, we must be watchful and pray in facing Gethsemane, the pre-persecution of the Antichrist, or the firm separation that have been exhorted, taught, and exemplified by Jesus Himself.
Mark14:32-36
14:32 Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
14:33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
14:34 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
14:35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
14:36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
There are three groups in being watchful and praying as follows:
God blesses you.
Revelation 11:15-19are about the sound of the seventh or the last trumpet.
The seventh trumpet shows the three things as follows:
- Verse 15-17 show Jesus who will come for the second time on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King of all kings and the heavenly Bridegroom to establish the kingdom of heaven in the world, namely the One-Thousand-Years Kingdom of Peace or the future paradise up to the New Jerusalem forever (it has been explained in the General Service in Malang, July 05, 2020 up to the General Service, August 02, 2020)
- Verse 18 shows the wrath of God to the world (it has been explained in the Bible Study Service in Malang, August 04, 2020).
- Verse 19 shows the Ark of Covenant, the perfect church, or the heavenly bride.

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."
Therefore, we must be watchful and pray in facing Gethsemane, the pre-persecution of the Antichrist, or the firm separation that have been exhorted, taught, and exemplified by Jesus Himself.
Mark14:32-36
14:32 Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
14:33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
14:34 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
14:35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
14:36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
There are three groups in being watchful and praying as follows:
- The term 'sit here' refers to the eight disciples or the servants and ministers of God who sit.
It refers to the people who are in the Court of Tabernacle or ones who have been saved but they are hard-hearted or neither be watchful nor shepherded and do not pray.
Consequently, they are fully ruled by the flesh and its characteristics, namely having fear on something until fighting against God, the sadness, and disappointment, so they leave God and the marriage.
Such people are also ruled by the will of the flesh, so they are not obedient and faithful to God and other people. It means that they do sins up to the peak and they are ruled by Babylon to be destroyed in one hour. - The term 'Peter, James, and John' refers to the three disciples or the servants and ministers of God who are watchful and pray. It refers to the Holy Place, the shepherding pen or the perseverance in doing the three main services to God.
Mark 14:33-34
14:33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
14:34 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."
The perseverance in doing the tree main services to God are as follows:- The Golden Candlestick or the perseverance in doing the General Service.
- The Table of Showbread or the perseverance in doing the Bible Study Service and Holy Communion.
- The Golden Altar of Incense or the perseverance in doing the Prayer Service.
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."
14:39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
14:40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
14:41 Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Peter, James, and John had been watchful and prayed but unfortunately, they still slept.
Generally, men sleep because they are tired physically.
But, sleeping in the worship prayer or when hearing the word of God means that the flesh still speaks
At the court, the flesh still has the power, but now, the flesh still speaks.
Men often face the voice of the fleshly will and the will of God until they are doubtful. If they are doubtful, they will hear the voice of the flesh for sure.
The term 'they did not know what to answer Him' means that they do not know the things they heard.
Consequently, they experience the temptation. When men are neither obedient nor faithful, they are experiencing the temptation at the same time. They also look for their own way which is outside the word of God. It is called falling in the temptation and sin until denying Jesus like Peter.
We must return to the word of God when we face in temptation!
Peter had denied God, but thankfully, there was the crowing of rooster, the word which is repeated, or the sound of trumpet. If there had not been the sound of trumpet, Peter could not have been helped.
Let us return to the will of God tonight! Because we cannot guarantee that we still can hear the sound of trumpet tomorrow. - The Golden Candlestick or the perseverance in doing the General Service.
- The term 'He went a little farther' refers to Jesus who was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw alone. It refers to the Most Holy Place. It means the prayer of the High Priest who brings the blood and incense or the worship prayer which is added with the sprinkling of blood.
Mark 14:35
14:35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
Luke 22:41
22:41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed.:
After we are in the Holy Place, we must increase it to the prayer with the sprinkling of blood as the prayer of the High Priest until the Veil is torn. It means that there is the full tearing of the flesh and we will experience shekinah glory.
The sprinkling of blood can be in the one hour prayer, the All Night-Long Prayer, and the fasting prayer.
Jesus was obedient to the point of dead on the cross. It means that He received the stone's throw to bear the hardness of heart, doubt, and disobedience of the servant and minister of God, so He was glorified on the right side of the throne of Father God.
As for us, we are glorified with Jesus. It is the same as we experiencing the life renewal from the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Him, namely we soften our heart or obey Him until the flesh does not speak anymore.
Be careful! The disobedience in the Eden also happens in the marriage and makes men naked until they are not ashamed anymore.
We must be obedient in facing any test and we will be fully filled and powered by Holy Spirit.
Galatians 4:6
4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"
When Holy Spirit has power on us, He will be active in our life and cannot be hindered by anything.
The results are as follows:- We are set free from the condemnation of God or the death, hell, and sins up to the peak (Babylon)
Romans 8:1-2
8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Only men who are set free from Babylon can worship God in one hour. - Holy Spirit is able to give the spiritual life as follows:
- Living in the righteousness and holiness in the midst of rottenness of the world.
The rotten and broken things can be changed to be the sweet aroma. - The peaceful heart, so all things become easy and light.
- Living in the righteousness and holiness in the midst of rottenness of the world.
- Holy Spirit is able to renew us until we do not stumble in words anymore.
Titus 3:5
3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
James 3:2
3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
We become a new man. We do not stumble in words anymore, starting from being honest, testifying the mercy and the miracle of God, and worshiping Him with a broken heart (worshiping with tongues) We are set free from the Antichrist whose mouths lies, slanders, and blasphemes God [Revelation 13:5]. We are flown to the wilderness that is far away from the eye of the Antichrist.
The physical miracle also happens, the impossible things become possible, the broken things become good, and the failed things become successful and beautiful.
The power of Holy Spirit works unlimited when we are obedient and do not stumble in words.
When Jesus comes for the second time, we will be changed to be as perfect as Him to be worthy to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds by saying "Alleluia". We sit together with Him on the throne of heaven.
It is the last separation, namely there are people who left behind and the ones who are exalted to the glorious clouds.
- We are set free from the condemnation of God or the death, hell, and sins up to the peak (Babylon)
God blesses you.
