Bible Study Service in Malang, April 07, 2016 (Thursday Evening)
Peace
and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation
3:21-22 3:21
"To him who overcomes I will grant to
sit with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 3:22
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches."'"
There
are seven churches of the Gentiles in Revelation chapter 2 and 3. All
of them get the promise of God. The highest promise of God is for the
church of the Laodiceans, namely sitting with Jesus on the heavenly
throne forever. The spirituality of the church of the Laodiceans
is like the vomit, but the Lord is able to exalt them to the heavenly
throne. It means that whatever our condition or fall is, God is able
to lift us up physically and spiritually. We only need a willingness
to get it. Do not stay in you fall.
There
are seven steps of the Gentiles to sit with Jesus on the heavenly
throne forever in Revelation chapter 2 and 3 as follows.
-
[Revelation 2:1-7]
The
church in Ephesus.
Revelation
2:4 2:4
"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you
have left your first love.
The
first step is returning to the first love. The first love means
the love of God through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
John
19:32-34 19:32
Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the
other who was crucified with Him. 19:33 But when they came to
Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.
19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear,
and immediately blood
and water came out.
Actually,
Jesus has died with four main wounds, namely two in hands and two in
feet for saving the house of Israel or the chosen people of God. The
fifth wound is the deepest and biggest one, namely in Jesus' side,
out of which blood and water come. This is for saving the Gentiles.
Thus, returning to the first love for the Gentiles means
receiving
the sign of blood and water which come out of Jesus' side which
has been pierced.
The
sign of blood
refers to the Altar of Burnt Offering. It means believing
in Jesus and repenting
or stopping sinning to return to God or being dead to sin.
Revelation
21:8 21:8
"But the cowardly(1), unbelieving(2), abominable(3),
murderers(4), sexually immoral(5), sorcerers(6), idolaters(7), and
all liars(8) shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire
and brimstone, which is the second death."
We must repent especially from the eight sins bringing us to
fall to the deep place or sink in the sea of fire and brimstone or
the hell forever.
- cowardly.
It means the fear of something in the world which cause one to
resist against God.
- unbelieving.
- abominable
or evil.
- murderers
or hatred without a cause.
- sexually
immoral
or the sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting
drunk, and drugs abuse as well as the ones concerning
marrying-being given in marriage such as the wrong marriage and
sexuality sin with all of its kinds.
- sorcerers.
- idolaters.
- liars
or slanderer and gossip.
The
sign of water
refers to the Brazen Laver or the
water baptism.
Romans
6:4 6:4
Therefore we were
buried
with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was
raised
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of life.
The
implementation of the true water baptism is one who has died to sin
is buried in water with Jesus to rise with Him in the new life,
namely the
life in righteousness and obedience.
It is the same as returning to the first love.
Galatians
3:7 3:7
Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
Living
in righteousness is the same as living by faith. The obedience
refers to the work of faith. Faith without the work is like the body
without the head. It means the death. The Gentiles who live in
righteousness and obedience or by faith and the works of faith
become the spiritual descendants of Abraham.
Galatians
3:13-14 3:13
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a
curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs
on a tree"), 3:14 that the blessing of Abraham might come
upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise
of the Spirit through faith.
Revelation
2:7 2:7
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of
life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God."'
As
a result, we are set free from the curse, punishment, and perdition
because of sin.
Moreover, we can get the blessings of Abraham physically and
spiritually up to our descendants; even we can eat the fruit of the
tree of life in paradise. It means that we live in the atmosphere of
paradise in the midst of curses in the world; even we can get the
eternal life on the heavenly throne.
-
[Revelation 2:8-11]
The
church in Smyrna.
Revelation
2:10 2:10
"Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer.
Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that
you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be
faithful until death,
and I will give you the crown of life.
The
second step is being faithful until death. It means that we
faithfully suffer with Jesus until the end line,
namely we pass away or Jesus comes a second time.
2
Corinthians 4:16-17 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is
perishing, yet the inward man is being
renewed
day by day. 4:17 For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment,
is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
The
suffering with Jesus is light and only for a moment, comparing to
the glory we will receive, namely the great eternal glory.
We must look at the sacrifice of Christ every time we cannot endure
the temptation anymore. Jesus suffers more than what we are
experiencing now.
Why
do we have to suffer with Jesus?
We must suffer with Jesus to
have the glory of God or the life renewal
from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like He is. James
1:12 1:12
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been
approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has
promised to those who love Him.
We
can endure means that we are not disappointed or hopeless and do not
leave God regardless of anything we must face. We keep on believing
and hoping in God. We keep faithful and fervent in spirit in serving
and ministering to God. We also keep on giving thanks and worshiping
to God. As a result, we get the crown of life or the firm guarantee
for our life in the world until we get the eternal life in the
heaven and we do not get the second death.
Revelation
2:11 2:11
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."'
- [Revelation
2:12-17] The
church in Pergamos.
Revelation
2:13 2:13
"I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne
is. And you hold fast to My name, and did
not deny My faith
even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was
killed among you, where Satan dwells.
They
do not deny their faith. They do not fall. They are not deceived.
Revelation
2:14-15 2:14
"But I have a few things against you, because you have there
those who hold the
doctrine of Balaam,
who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of
Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual
immorality. 2:15 "Thus you also have those who hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitans,
which thing I hate.
Satan
always tries to shake our faith until it falls through the false
teachings as follows.
- The
doctrine of Balaam.
2
Peter 2:15-16 2:15
They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way
of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved
the wages of unrighteousness;
2:16 but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey
speaking with a man's voice restrained the madness of the
prophet.
It
is the false teaching about the physical wage is the purpose of the
service and ministry to God.
- The
doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
It gathers many people with legalizing all ways without the
sanctification, so there is a spirit of adultery in it.
The
two kinds of doctrine work together with a slogan "many people
will bring much money".
2
Peter 2:16 2:16
but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a
man's voice restrained the madness of the prophet.
The
target of Balaam is the wild donkey or the Gentiles who are not
shepherded.
Balaam rides on the Gentiles to go toward the perdition or the
revival of Babylon. It is the perfection in evil and uncleanness
until one sits on the throne of Satan.
Genesis
49:11 49:11
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.
On
the contrary, the
target of Jesus is the donkey which is tied to the Vine, namely the
Gentiles who are shepherded to the true teaching Word.
They are sanctified in their heart, mind, deeds, and words. If one
is holy, he will be ridden by Jesus.
Jesus rides on a donkey
to go to Jerusalem. It is the same as the revival of the building of
Christ's perfect body or the bride who is ready to sit with Jesus
in the New Jerusalem. It is the
revival in faith
as follows.
- The
spiritual revival which is
based on the true teaching Word.
We must hold fast to one true teaching Word.
- The
revival in
giving.
All things such as money, time, energy, and so on must be
sacrificed for the revival of the building of Christ' body,
except Jesus Himself or the true teaching Word. The revival of the
building of Christ's body starts from the marriage. We must keep
the true teaching Word in our marriage.
The
revival in faith happens until we can give our whole life to Jesus,
like a donkey on which He rides. We believe and entrust our life
fully to God. Jesus also commits Himself to us.
John
7:5-6 7:5
For even His brothers did not believe in Him. 7:6 Then Jesus
said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is
always ready.
Jesus
often seems to leave us. Why? Do not be hopeless because He is
waiting for us to believe and entrust our life fully to Him.
- Abraham
Romans
4:19-21 4:19
And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body,
already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the
deadness of Sarah's womb. 4:20 He
did not waver at the promise of God
through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to
God, ? 4:21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised
He was also able to perform.
Abraham
was not doubtful to the true teaching Word and the power of God, so
his faith was not weak although he had to face the impossibility in
his marriage and child. He kept on believing that God was able to
fulfill His promise. As a result, Isaac could be born.
James
2:21-22 2:21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he
offered Isaac his son on the altar?
2:22 Do you see that faith was working together with his
works, and by works faith was made perfect?
Abraham
offered Isaac, his only son. He was obedient. He also loved God
more than anything. As a result, he had the perfect faith as well
as the works or the golden pot with manna. Revelation
2:17 2:17
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna
to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new
name written which no one knows except him who receives it."'
As
a result, there was Jehovah Jireh. The Lord is able to create
something that does not exist yet. The impossible things can be
made possible.
- Job.
James
5:10-11 5:10
My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord,
as an example of suffering and patience.
5:11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard
of the perseverance
of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is
very compassionate and merciful.
He
was patient in facing the total test. He persevered also. It
refers to the
perseverance in doing three main services to God,
namely General Service, Bible Study Service with Holy Communion,
and Prayer Service. The patience means that we
are patient in waiting for the time of God.
Do not take your own way which is not in line with the Word.
Job
23:10-12 23:10
But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall
come forth as gold. 23:11 My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside. 23:12 I have not
departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the
words of His mouth More than my necessary food.
As
a result, we are embraced by the hands of the High Priest, who is
so merciful. Job was restored doubly.
- Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abed-Nego.
Daniel
3:16-18,24-25 3:16
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king,
"O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this
matter. 3:17 "If that is the case, our God whom we serve
is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will
deliver us from your hand, O king. 3:18 "But if not, let
it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor
will we worship the gold image which you have set up." 3:24
Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and
spoke, saying to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men
bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered and said to
the king, "True, O king." 3:25 "Look!" he
answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the
fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the
Son of God."
They
kept on holding fast the true teaching Word, worshiping God, and
living in holiness although they had to face the burning fiery
furnace which had been heated seven times more than the usual.
Similarly, the church in Pergamos must face the throne of Satan,
namely the false teachings and worship as well as the sins up to
the peak, the antichrist, false prophets, and Satan.
Revelation
2:13 2:13
"I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's
throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith
even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was
killed among you, where Satan dwells.
As
a result, there were three men cast to the burning fiery furnace,
but there were four men walking in it. It refers to God's
accompanying to perform the miracle.
The spiritual miracle happens, namely we can keep silent. As a
result, our face is cheerful. On the contrary, our face is gloomy
or sad when we talk too much. If the spiritual miracle happens, the
physical ones will also happen. All impossible problems are solved.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego could be exalted in the world up
to the heaven. We are changed to be as glorious as Jesus is on the
glorious clouds.
2
Thessalonians 1:7-8a 1:7
and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus
is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 1:8 in
flaming fire....
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;
God
blesses you.
