Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 16:17-21
16:17. Then the seventh angelpoured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"
16:18. And there were noises and thunderingsand lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
16:19. Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
16:20. Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
16:21. And great hailfrom heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
The seventh bowl of the wrath of God is poured out into the air. The consequences are as follows:
The consequences of the great earthquake are as follows:
Now we learn about the spiritual meaning of the mountain, namely the mount of prayer.
Luke 9:28-29
9:28. Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
9:29. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
The mountains are not found. It means that there is none worshiping God delightfully. Men are bored, unfaithful, unwilling, and unable to worship God, so they enter the false worship.
Consequently, they are destroyed forever along with the mountains which are not found.
That is why, from now on we ask to God, so we can worship Him delightfully individually, in family, and together with other members in congregation. It is added with the morning prayer, fasting prayer, and all night prayer.
If we worship God delightfully, we will not experience the punishment of God. We are not destroyed, but live forever.
Luke 9:28
9:28. Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
The true worship is driven by the true teaching Word.
If we delightfully receive the true teaching Word that shows the hidden sins, we will surely worship God delightfully.
On the contrary, if the island flees away, the mountains will not be found. It means that the servant of God who has no hope even rejects the true teaching Word will surely be unwilling up to unable to worship God.
The consequences of unwillingness to worship God are as follows:
God blesses us.
Revelation 16:17-21

16:21. And great hailfrom heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
The seventh bowl of the wrath of God is poured out into the air. The consequences are as follows:
- A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" It means that God's punishments have been finished.
- There were noises and thunderings and lightnings; there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Further, the great hail happens until the world is destroyed and all things are destroyed by the fire and brimstone.
The consequences of the great earthquake are as follows:
- Babylon is divided into three parts. At this time, Babylon controls the three big things in the world. That is why it is divided into three parts when the great earthquake happens.
- Every island flees away. It means having no hope to the true teaching Word even rejecting it. Consequently, one is destroyed forever.
- The mountains are not found or they are destroyed.
Now we learn about the spiritual meaning of the mountain, namely the mount of prayer.
Luke 9:28-29
9:28. Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
9:29. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.

The true worship is driven by the true teaching Word.

On the contrary, if the island flees away, the mountains will not be found. It means that the servant of God who has no hope even rejects the true teaching Word will surely be unwilling up to unable to worship God.
The consequences of unwillingness to worship God are as follows:
- Losing the heavenly bliss.
Luke 9:33-34
9:33. Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for usto be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" --not knowing what he said.
9:34. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud.
Peter never said: 'it is good for us' when Jesus raised the dead, but on the mount of prayer he said that.
Losing the heavenly bliss is the same as being spiritually withered. It can be seen from the idle words, namely gossip, evil speaking, and blasphemy (blaspheming the true teaching Word).
If it continues, he will experience the spiritual death. It means just committing sins up to the peak, so he is destroyed along with the mountains that are not found.
From now on we must be aware. Let us force our flesh to worship God delightfully, so we experience the heavenly bliss, and we always give thanks to God. We can testify until we worship God by saying: "Alleluia" on the glorious clouds and the New Jerusalem. - Losing God's call and election.
Luke 9:35
9:35. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!"
We, the sinners have been called by God. It means being justified and saved. We have also been chosen by God. It means being given the ministry or appointed as the priests and kings who are used in the ministry of the building of the perfect body of Christ.
If we do not want to worship God, the call and election will decrease until we lose it. It is the same as returning to sins up to the peak.
If one has committed the sin, he will not minister to God faithfully until he leaves it. He loses God's call and election. It means that he loses an entrance into the heavenly kingdom even being destroyed along with the mountains that are not found.
For example, Judas Iscariot and Esau cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry up to perdition forever.
2 Peter 1:10-11
1:10. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
1:11. for so an entrance will be supplied to youabundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
If we worship God delightfully, we will receive the extra power from God to make our call and election sure. We may not be shaken and destroyed by anything. We minister to God faithfully and fervently until the finish line, namely our death or Jesus' second coming. As a result, we receive an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of heaven that cannot be charged against by anything. - Losing the miracle, especially not experiencing the renewal of life from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones. It is the same as losing God's love. It means the pale face.
Luke 9:29
9:29. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.
Who has the pale face spiritually? The foreigners.
Psalm 18:45
18:45. The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.
The foreigners are the servants of God who receive the true teaching Word as a strange thing because of hearing the strange voice.
Hosea 8:12
8:12. I have written for him the great things of My law, But they were considered a strange thing.
The strange voices are gossip and the false teaching.
If one considers the Word a strange thing, he will feel strange in the marriage, shepherding, and the building of the perfect body of Christ.
Ephesians 2:19-21
2:19. Now, therefore, you are no longer strangersand foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
2:20. having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
2:21. in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
Considering the marriage as a strange thing is caused by hearing gossip. That is our mistake, namely we look for gossip first when we have a problem.
At last we will not want to enter into the building of the perfect body of Christ, but go out. We do not put Jesus as the Head. It is the pale face.
The spiritual meanings of the pale face are as follows:- Frightening. It is the same as the fear and worry of something.
Psalm 18:46
18:46. The foreigners fade away, And come frightenedfrom their hideouts.
Consequently, there is no peace but life in the curse atmosphere, namely labors and heavy burdens. If it continues, he will experience the punishment up to perdition.
If we worship God delightfully, we will hate the sin, so we experience peace. All things become easy and light.
Hating the sin is the same as having the fear of God. - Not experiencing the renewal of life. It is the same as being without the sun or love. He does not obey God. He does not love God and others but he is against God. He is unjust; even he repays evil for good. It is the same as Satan.
If we worship God delightfully, we will experience the renewal of life. It is the biggest miracle. We have God's love, so we can become obedient.
John 9:34-38
9:34. They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out.
9:35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
9:36. He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?"
9:37. And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."
9:38. Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him.
Do not be afraid when we are cast out because of the righteousness (the sprinkling of blood) and no one can be expected! At that time Jesus is coming and waiting to do the miracle for us.
It is the right time for us to worship God. Our eyes only see God, our mouth cries out Jesus' name, and our hand is stretched out to Him. We trust and commit ourselves to God. We confess that only Jesus can help us no matter the thing that is happening to us.
The example is King David. He was a king, but he trusted and committed himself to God. David strengthened himself in the LORD when there was no one to be expected.
1 Samuel 30:4-6
30:4. Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
30:5. And David's two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive.
30:6. Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORDhis God.
David faced the enemies from outside and inside, namely his own people wanted to stone him. But David was not desperate. He strengthened himself in the LORD.
Let us strengthen ourselves in God no matter the thing that is happening to us, even it gets worse. God will fight for us. Nothing of us is lacking until not one hair of us shall fall.
1 Samuel 30:19
30:19. And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all.
God gives the miraculous victory for us. All of impossible problems are finished by God. When we are powerless, our hope is in God only. We just worship Him. We are taken care of and protected miraculously by God in the midst of the difficulties of the world until the Antichrist reigns over the world.
The matter of not one hair of us shall fall means that we become perfect when Jesus comes a second time. We are worthy to greet His coming. We say: "Alleluia." We enter the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace (the upcoming Paradise) and the New Jerusalem forever.
- Frightening. It is the same as the fear and worry of something.
God blesses us.
