Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 7:11-17 is about Jesus raises a young man in Nain.
Luke 7:11-17
7:11. Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.
7:12. And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
7:13. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
7:14. Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
7:15. So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
7:16. Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."
7:17. And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.
There are two kinds of group which are the same as two kinds of the spiritual revival as follows:
Be careful!There are two kinds of revival.
In the Old Testament, Cain and Abel serve together, but Cain is rejected and Abel is accepted.
Let all of us enter the spiritual revival that is led by Jesus or true teaching Word. It is the same as we enter the revival of the building of the perfect body of Christ and become God's bride. We will be lifted up to the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time, We meet Jesus as the Bridegroom and enter the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Revelation 19:9
19:9. Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’"And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."
In Genesis, the physical marriage of Adam and Eve has been destroyed and made naked by Satan. Through the revival of teaching Word, destroyed and naked marriage is brought to spiritual and perfect marriage in the marriage supper of the Lamb. We come to the world through physical marriage. We will come out from the world through spiritual marriage.
After the marriage supper of the Lamb, we enter a thousand years kingdom of peace/Paradise that will come [Revelation 20].
After that, we enter New Jerusalem, the eternal kingdom of Heaven where there is no more tear [Revelation 21-22].
The process of the building of the body of Christ is as follows:
God blesses us.

7:17. And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.
There are two kinds of group which are the same as two kinds of the spiritual revival as follows:
- The revival that is led by Jesus.
It means the revival that prioritizestrue teaching Word or the revival of the building of the perfect body of Christ/the bride/New Jerusalem (the most pleasant place forever). - The revival that is led by a widow to the grave.
It means the revival withoutJesus or true teaching Word. It prioritizes physical thing only. It is the same as the building of the body of Babylon or Satan's bride and goes to Babylon which will be destroyed in an hour.
Revelation 17:4-5
17:4. 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.
7:5. And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 18:16
18:16. "and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
Be careful!There are two kinds of revival.
In the Old Testament, Cain and Abel serve together, but Cain is rejected and Abel is accepted.
Let all of us enter the spiritual revival that is led by Jesus or true teaching Word. It is the same as we enter the revival of the building of the perfect body of Christ and become God's bride. We will be lifted up to the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time, We meet Jesus as the Bridegroom and enter the marriage supper of the Lamb.

In Genesis, the physical marriage of Adam and Eve has been destroyed and made naked by Satan. Through the revival of teaching Word, destroyed and naked marriage is brought to spiritual and perfect marriage in the marriage supper of the Lamb. We come to the world through physical marriage. We will come out from the world through spiritual marriage.
After the marriage supper of the Lamb, we enter a thousand years kingdom of peace/Paradise that will come [Revelation 20].
After that, we enter New Jerusalem, the eternal kingdom of Heaven where there is no more tear [Revelation 21-22].
The process of the building of the body of Christ is as follows:
- the foundation.
Ephesians 2:19-22
2:19. Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and 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,
2:22. in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
There are two kinds of the foundation as follows:- Christ as the chief cornerstone = Jesus who is crucified= sacrifice of Christ to save sinner.
The steps of salvationare the same as entering the gate of Tabernacle as follows:- To believe Jesus as the only Savior (the gate).
We believe Jesus by hearing the Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit. - To repent or stop doing sin and return to God (the altar of burnt offerings).
- Water baptism (the brazen laver).
The right water baptism is one who 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 new life, namely life in righteousness. - Holy Spirit baptism (the door of tabernacle) which results in new life, namely being obedient, we just say 'Abba, Father'.
Romans 8:15
8:15. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
Matthew 7:24-25
7:24. "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
7:25. "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Obedience is the same as building spiritual house/the body Christ on the rock, so it is sturdy to endure and we cannot do sin.
- To believe Jesus as the only Savior (the gate).
- The apostles (the New Testament) and the prophets (the Old Testament). It is the same as the Bible or true teaching Word.
Ephesians 2:20
2:20. having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
2 Samuel 22:31-32
22:31. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
22:32. "For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?
The true teaching Word is the same as the rock.
We have to hold fast the true teaching Word. It means that we build the house on the rock, so it will never fall or we cannot be deceived.
2:18. 'Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty–fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid––consider it:
2:19. 'Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you.’"
The result is God blesses us with both physical and spiritual blessing, no matter our condition is. - Christ as the chief cornerstone = Jesus who is crucified= sacrifice of Christ to save sinner.
- Execution of the building of the body of Christ.
In the Tabernacle, it refers to the Holy Place. The execution of the building of the body of Christ on the foundation is the same as ordination or our ministry to God.
The ordination depends on teaching. If the teaching is true, the ministry and worship will also be true and vice versa.
Who may execute the building of the body of Christ?
The priests and kings which are same as living stones.
1 Peter 2:5
2:5. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
The priest is a holy man, one who holds ministry and serves God.
If we are holy, God surely gives the ministry that we can minister Him.
Where is the place for the priest to serve?
Leviticus 21:12
21:12. 'nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
A priest ministers in the sanctuary/the Holy Place. Now, it refers to the sheepfold.
So, we have to be shepherded to the true teaching Word like a branch that abides in the true vine.
There are three tools in the Holy Place that refer to perseverance in three kinds of main service as follows:- the golden candlestick= perseverance in committing General Service= fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His gifts. It is the same as sheep drinks.
- The table of showbread= perseverance in committing Bible Study Service and Holy Communion= fellowship with Son of God in teaching Word and sacrifice of Christ. It is the same as sheep eats.
- The golden altar of incense= perseverance in committing Prayer Service= fellowship with God the Father in His love. It is the same as sheep breathes.
- We experience spiritual growth. It means that our body, soul and spirit are purified by God the Trinity, so we are devoted as the apple of His eye.
It means as follows:- we are taken care magically by God even we have no strength in the middle of the desert that is hard and impossible.
- We are protected from danger and sin up to the peak of sin and false teaching.
We live in peace. - We are taken care and protected so we are not dry spiritually but we keep on living in the anointing of Holy Spirit, righteousness and holiness, faithfulness and fervency in ministering God.
We are taken care of directly by God through the teaching Word and Holy Communion. - we are taken care magically by God even we have no strength in the middle of the desert that is hard and impossible.
- We bear sweet grape fruits or heavenly happiness.
- the golden candlestick= perseverance in committing General Service= fellowship with Holy Spirit God in His gifts. It is the same as sheep drinks.
- The finishing.
In the Tabernacle, it refers to the Most Holy Place. There is sprinkling of blood in the Most Holy Place. It means suffering in the flesh without any sin, but with Jesus. It is like grape that is squeezed to become wine, so we can enter the marriage supper of the Lamb and greet Jesus when He comes a second time.
1 Peter 4:12-14
4:12. Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
4:13. but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
4:14. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
Behind the sprinkling of the blood, we receive the Spirit of glory, the light of glory from Jesus' face.
The results are as follows:- God is able to take care of our life physically especially spiritually.
Exodus 16:7-8
16:7. "And in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD; for He hears your complaints against the LORD. But what are we, that you complain against us?"
16:8. Also Moses said, "This shall be seen when the LORD gives you meat to eatin the evening, and in the morning bread to the full; for the LORD hears your complaints which you make against Him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us but against the LORD."
We are satisfied spiritually so we do not grumble.
If we are not satisfied, we surely grumble and look for satisfaction in the world, fall into sin up to the peak of sin. - The light of glory from Jesus' face is able to raise Lazarus who has died.
John 11:39-40
11:39. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
11:40. Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
It means that God is able to wipe out all impossibilities; failed future becomes success and beauty in His time.
Lazarus is also used as witness of God. We are used in the building of the body of Christ as the witness of God.
Luke 7:17
7:17. And this report about Him went throughout all Judea and all the surrounding region.
The young man who has been raised becomes the witness of God too.
We testify about the true teaching Word that changed our life from failure and destruction to success. - When Jesus comes a second time, we will be changed to become as glorious as Him. We become His bride and we are ready to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds
Matthew 24:30-32
24:30. "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31. "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
24:32. "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tenderand puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
The renewing of life is started from being tender.
It means that we confess our sins and the light of glory of God will work.
- God is able to take care of our life physically especially spiritually.
God blesses us.
