To Coincide with Fasting Prayer Service Session III
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:15-19 tells about the voice of the seventh or the last trumpet.
The seventh trumpet shows us three thingsas follows:
We learn the third point.
Revelation 11:19
11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
The Ark of Covenant in the temple of God refers to the perfect Church, the light of world, or the Bride of Heavenwho is in the kingdom of heaven, the eternal Jerusalem.
"And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail" means that the church of God must be able to pass through the great shakes in every aspect, so the church can be the Bride of Heaven who is lifted up to Heaven.
The shake starts from the pre-persecution of the antichrist (Gethsemane) for three and a half years. After that, the persecution of the Antichrist for another three and a half years up to the doomsday.
The Gethsemane determines whether we are free or not from the Antichrist.
It means that if we can pass through the pre-persecution of the Antichrist for three and a half years, then we can pass the time when the Antichrist reigns on the earth up to the doomsday, so we can be lifted up to heaven.
Be careful, the reality is that all the disciples ran away and could not pass the Gethsemane. Peter denied Jesus, John was naked, and the rest ran away. Only Jesus could pass.
Why does God allow the great shaking to happen?
God blesses us.
Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 11:15-19 tells about the voice of the seventh or the last trumpet.
The seventh trumpet shows us three thingsas follows:
- Verses 15-17
The persona of Jesus who will come a second time on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King of king and the Bridegroom of Heavento establish the kingdom of Heaven on the earth, namely the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace(the upcoming paradise) up to the eternal New Jerusalem (It is explained starting from General Service in Malang, July 5, 2020 to General Service in Malang, August 2, 2020). - Verse 18
The persona of Jesus as the just Judgeto punish the world and those who deserve to be punished, also to reward those who deserve it (It is explained starting from the Bible Study Service and Holy Communion in Malang, August 4, 2020 to the General Service in Malang, September 6, 2020). - Verse 19
The Ark of Covenant or the perfect Church or the Bride of Heaven(It is explained in the Bible Study Service and Holy Communion in Malang, September 8, 2020).
We learn the third point.
Revelation 11:19
11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.
The Ark of Covenant in the temple of God refers to the perfect Church, the light of world, or the Bride of Heavenwho is in the kingdom of heaven, the eternal Jerusalem.
"And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail" means that the church of God must be able to pass through the great shakes in every aspect, so the church can be the Bride of Heaven who is lifted up to Heaven.
The shake starts from the pre-persecution of the antichrist (Gethsemane) for three and a half years. After that, the persecution of the Antichrist for another three and a half years up to the doomsday.
The Gethsemane determines whether we are free or not from the Antichrist.
It means that if we can pass through the pre-persecution of the Antichrist for three and a half years, then we can pass the time when the Antichrist reigns on the earth up to the doomsday, so we can be lifted up to heaven.
Be careful, the reality is that all the disciples ran away and could not pass the Gethsemane. Peter denied Jesus, John was naked, and the rest ran away. Only Jesus could pass.
Why does God allow the great shaking to happen?
- God allows the shaking to happenfor separating the right church that cannot be shaken from the false one.
Hebrews 12:26-27
12:26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."
12:27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
The sign of the false church is gathering together to Aron. It refers to prioritizing the physical thing in ministry, such as the personality of man, finance, the title, et cetera.Thus, the church refuses the true teaching word and accepts the false teaching.
Exodus 32:1
32:1 Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."
As a result, the church does not experience the purification but they still live in the sins up to the peak that is the sin of eating-drinking (smoking, getting drunk, and drug abuse) and the sin of marrying-being given in marriage (fornication, the wrong marriage, mixed-marriage, divorce-remarrying). Thus, they live in the ambience of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Jude 1:7
1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
The false church is more prominent, more numerous, and greater than the right church, but in the end the false church is shaken and falls from faith like Sodom and Gomorrah. Thus, they experience the consuming fire of God, the doomsday, and the hell forever.
Hebrews 12:27,29
12:27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
The sign of the true church is gathering together to Jesus for listening to the true teaching word. It means prioritizing the true teaching word, so we can listen solemnly and obey the word.We will experience the purification until we become perfect like Jesus is and we are lifted up to heaven (the Ark of Covenant is in the temple of God in heaven).
Luke 5:1,3
5:1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,
5:3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
What and the way we listen to will determine. - God allows the shaking for increasing the spirituality of the right church, so we can minister to God according to the ways that please Him. It is not our way.
Hebrews 12:28
12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
The ministry which can please God is according to the system of the kingdom of heaven or the Tabernacle.
God commanded Moses to build the Tabernacle to make on earth as it was in heaven.
Romans 14:17-18
14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
14:18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
The signs of the ministry in the system of the kingdom of heaven areas follows:- "is not eating and drinking"
It means that the kingdom of heaven is not about the physical things, honor, title, praise, et cetera. It is about offering for God, such as our time, power, mind, up to whole life for God. - "giving thanks"
It means giving thanks in everything, so we feel satisfied. We never feel disappointed or in despair and we will not leave God until the end line (it is until we die or the second coming of Jesus). - "righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit"
It is the Holy Place of Tabernacle or the sheepfold or the perseverance in doing the three main services to God as follows:- The Golden Candlestick
The perseverance in doing the General Service or the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the anointing and gift. Thus, we always experience the joy in Holy Spirit. - The Table of Showbread
The perseverance in doing the Bible Study Service and Holy Communion or the fellowship with the Son of God in the teaching word and the sacrifice of Christ. Thus, we always experience the purification and we can live in righteousness. - The Golden Altar of Incense
The perseverance in doing the Worship Prayer Service or the fellowship with Father God in His love. The love of God covers everything, sins, anxiety, et cetera. Thus, we feel the peace. It means that we do not feel anything that the flesh feels, but we feel the love of God only.
- The Golden Candlestick
- In the sheepfold, we find the guarantee of caring in this difficult world, so we always experience the peace.
Hebrews 10:36-38
10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
10:37 "For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
10:38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him."
We need many things at the last age, but everything can be fulfilled in the perseverance. - In the sheepfold, we experience the protection of God from the shaking that happens on earth. Thus, we will not draw back but we keep faithful in ministry until Jesus comes a second time.
- We are protected from the consuming fire of doomsday and hell. We become perfect like Jesus is.
- "is not eating and drinking"
- God allows the shaking so that we serve God with reverence and godly fear.
Hebrews 12:28
12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
Revelation 14:7
14:7 saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
Reverence means the attitude of worshiping God.
The worship prayer is the peak of ministry.
In the midst of shaking, what should we do? We must listen to and do the word. We must enter the sheepfold until we experience the protection and caring of God as well as we lift up the worship prayer.
Acts 16: 24-25
16:24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
16:25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
For example, Paul and Silas were facing the jail (the close door or the shaking).
There are two kinds of shakingas follows:- In physical thing: the temptation in every aspect, economy, health, et cetera.
- In spiritual thing: committing suicide, disappointed, despair, and the deeds that destroy the body of Christ.
Acts 16:27
16:27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
"fastened their feet in the stocks" refers to the chain of sins up to the peak.
Acts 16:25-26
16:25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
16:26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.
We trust and entrust ourselves fully to God. We stretch out our hands to God and He will stretch out His mercy hands for doing the great things for us as follows:- "a great earthquake" refers to the problems that continue to the deadlock.
This is the activity of God as the test of faith, so we will not become weak and in despair, but we establish our faith to God.
The test of faith is like a pregnant woman. Day by day it is getting heavier until the time of delivery. If we feel disappointed, we will lose. We must strengthen our faith in God without any doubt. We put our hope only in Him. We trust His grace and mercy. This is what He waits from us.
If we pass from this point, we will have the pure faith. - "all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed" refers to the mercy and kind hands of God that open the door of victory over the sins up to the peak, so we can live in righteousness and holiness. After that, we can win over the impossible problems.
Acts 16:29-30
16:29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
16:30 And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
The door of God's employment or the ministry of the building the perfect body of Christ will open. If we win over the sins and problems, we will be employed through the Good News for saving souls and the Bride Tidings for bringing the saved people to be perfected like Jesus is.
The door of success and beautiful future will open up to the door of heaven when Jesus comes a second time. We are purified and changed to become as perfect as Jesus is. We do not stumble in words. We only cry out "Alleluia" to greet His second coming. The Ark of Covenant will be presented in the temple of God in heaven.
- In physical thing: the temptation in every aspect, economy, health, et cetera.
God blesses us.
