Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 11:4
11:4. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.

The two witnesses, namely Moses, who has power to turn water into blood and Elijah, who has power to make the rain come down are the same as the two olive trees and the two lampstands.
The two olive trees refer to the anointing oil of Holy Spirit.
The two lampstands refer to the light of testimony.

The anointing oil of Holy Spirit makes the lamps burning in the midst of the darkness.
It means that Holy Spirit gives us strength to testify in the midst of the darkness and shock in all things in the world, namely sins up to the peak, hatred without a cause, pre-persecution of antichrist for three and a half years until he reigns over the world.
We testify until we become the light of the world. We become the same as Jesus, namely the heavenly bride who is ready to greet Jesus when He comes a second time on the glorious clouds.

Now we learn about the lampstand or candlestick.
Exodus 25:31-32
25:31. " You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and flowers shall be of one piece.
25:32. "And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.


The lampstand consists of three parts, so the lamps can be burning as follows:

  1. The base. It refers to the true teaching word and Christ's sacrifice.
  2. The shaft. It refers to God.
  3. Six branches. The number six refers to man.

The requirements of the burning lamps or becoming the witness of God are as follows:

  1. One must have the base.
  2. One must have the shaft.
  3. One must have the six branches.

Ad. 3. One must have the six branches
.
Every branch has three series and every series consists of bowl, knob, and flower, so every branch has nine units.
Six branches shall come out of the shaft. It is the same as the branch that abides in the true Vine or Jesus' persona.

It means as follows:

  1. The faithfulness or perseverance relationship, especially perseverance in committing the three kinds of main service in the sheepfold or Holy Place, namely the general service or having fellowship with Holy Spirit God, the bible study service and holy communion or having fellowship with the Son of God, and the prayer service or having fellowship with Father God.

    In the sheepfold, our body, soul, and spirit attach to the Trinity of God, so the trinity of Satan cannot touch us.

  2. The holiness relationship.

The branch is small. If we keep on having the faithfulness, perseverance, and holiness, we will experience the anointing of Holy Spirit that results in the number nine.
It means as follows:

  1. Nine gifts of Holy Spirit.
    1 Corinthians 12: 8-10
    12:8. for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit(1), to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit(2),
    12:9. to another faith by the same Spirit(3), to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit(4),
    12:10. to another the working of miracles
    (5), to another prophecy(6), to another discerning of spirits(7), to another different kinds of tongues(8), to another the interpretation of tongues(9).


  2. Nine ministries. If we have the gift, we will surely be equipped with the ministry.
    1 Corinthians 12: 28-30
    12:28. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles(1), second prophets(2), third teachers(3), after that miracles(4), then gifts of healings(5), helps(6), administrations(7), varieties of tongues(8).
    12:29. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
    12:30. Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret
    (9)?

    Those ministries have five main ministries as follows:

    • The apostles.
    • The prophets.
    • The teachers.
    • The fourth up to sixth ministries are hold by the evangelist.
    • The seventh up to ninth ministries are hold by the shepherd.

    If we have the nine gifts of Holy Spirit and nine ministries, we will be used by God in the ministry of the building of the perfect body of Christ or heavenly bride.
    Ephesians 4:7,11-12
    4:7. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
    4:11. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
    4:12. for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

    'gift' = the gift of Holy Spirit.
    Verse 11 is the ministry.

    Previously, the nine ministries can be compacted to become five.

    The number five refers to five fingers of God. It means that the hand of God is in the congregation:

    • The thumb refers to the apostle.
    • The forefinger refers to the prophet.
    • The middle finger refers to the evangelist.
    • The ring finger refers to the shepherd.
    • The pinkie refers to the teacher.

    If we minister to God in holiness and faithfulness or perseverance according to the ministry that God gives to us, starting from marriage, the hands of God will work in the midst of the congregation to do wonderful things until making us perfect.

    Pay attention to holiness and faithfulness, starting from marriage! Pay attention to holiness and faithfulness in relationship! If we are not holy and faithful, the hands of Satan will be there.

    Be serious in ministering to God in marriage and shepherding!

    2 Chronicles 26:16-21
    26:16. But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
    26:17. So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the LORD--valiant men.
    26:18. And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron,
    who are consecratedto burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God."
    26:19. Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the incense altar.
    26:20. And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the LORD had struck him.
    26:21. King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He dwelt in an isolated house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD. Then Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.


    'who are consecrated'= being holy and faithful.

    The matter of arrogance can be measured when one is angry when he is advised.

    King Uzziah ministered with his own power and riches but without faithfulness and holiness. He did not minister to God according to the ministry that God gave to him, so he became arrogant.

    In the marriage, a husband starts becoming arrogant when he is blessed, so he despises his wife, and vice versa. Consequently, there are many infidelities.
    In the sheepfold, the congregation starts despising their shepherd.

    The arrogance also means that one touts and just thinks the physical things.

    The leprosy refers to self-truth. It means that one just blames at others and God.
    The leprosy also refers to the uncleanness.

    Getting angry when being advised is the same as evil.
    If we minister in holiness and faithfulness, we will not get angry, but do the correction in our life when we are reproved

    Saul also ever burnt the offering for God (1 Samuel 13). He had been told to wait Samuel but he burnt the offering although he just needed to wait a little until Samuel came.
    Consequently, God said that his deed was stupid and reckless. He lost his kingdom. It means losing all things.

    King Uzziah was exiled from the body of Christ. It is the same as destroying the body of Christ and building the one of Babylon up to perdition forever.

    Keep on being in holiness, faithfulness, and ministry that God
    gives to us!

  3. Nine deeds of the love of Father God.
    1 Corinthians 13:1-8
    13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
    13:2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
    13:3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
    13:4. Love suffers long
    (2)and is kind(3); love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
    13:5. does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
    13:6. does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth
    (4);
    13:7. bears all things
    (5), believes all things(6), hopes all things(7), endures all things(8).
    13:8. Love never fails
    (9). But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

    The firstdeed of love is that love is the foremost.
    The love is the motive power of ministry, not money. Money is quickly used up. Every ministry and Holy Spirit's gift must be done in love.

    The results are as follows:

    • Love never fails, so our ministry is eternal up to the kingdom of heaven. We must not stop, stumble, nor fall during the journey. We will never retire.

    • In love, we will minister to God faithfully and fervently forever. We will not fight against God.
      If our motive is money, et cetera, we will begin to fight against the righteous when we are blessed like king Uzziah.

    • The love renews us from fleshly men to spiritual ones like Jesus.
      Zephaniah 3:17-18
      3:17. The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
      3:18. "I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden.


      Changing is the same as yielding fruit, namely the nine fruits of the Spirit.

      Galatians 5:22-23
      5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
      5:23. gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.


      Love, joy, and peace are the image or characteristics of Father God.
      Longsuffering, kindness, and goodness are the image or characteristics of the Son of God.
      Faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are the image or characteristics of Holy Spirit God.

      We return to the image of the Trinity of God. It means that we become as perfect or glorious as God.

The conclusion is that by the nine gifts of Holy Spirit, nine ministries, and nine deeds of love, we will be used in the revival of the ministry of the building of the perfect body of Christ. It means that we are returned to the image of the Trinity of God. We experience the heavenly bliss until we become as glorious as Jesus to greet His coming on the glorious clouds.
We enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God or the peak of heavenly bliss. We return to Paradise until we enter the New Jerusalem.

We still need to be careful although we have already had the nine gifts, nine ministries, nine deeds of love, and nine fruits of the Spirit, because Satan still attacks us.
Joshua 7:3-5
7:3. And they returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few."
7:4. So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.
7:5. And the men of Ai struck down about
thirty-sixmen, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore the hearts of the people meltedand became like water.

Satan attacks in the last step.
Joshua led the Israelites in the last step to enter Canaan.
Joshua and the Israelites fought against Ai, which killed thirty-six men. It means destroying the four times nine.

Ai means small city or ruin. Joshua lost against the ruin although he had won over the powerful Jericho.
Likewise, now in the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain, Satan will use the spirit of ruin to make the servant of God lose heart or destroy the four times nine. It means that one is disappointed and desperate. He starts becoming unfaithful as well as leaves God or the ministry.

The ruin is useless. It must be thrown away.
If we become unfaithful as well as leave the ministry, we will be destroyed. Our marriage or economy will be surely ruined. Do not even try it!
It is better to throw away the ruin than the ministry.

What causes the ruin? It is caused by underestimating the enemy or negligence ('let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai') and unwillingness to sacrifice ('Do not weary all the people there').
Joshua 7:3-4
7:3. And they returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few."
7:4. So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.

In the Tabernacle, the number three thousand refers to the volume of the Holy Place and Most Holy Place, namely two thousand cubits cube and one thousand cubits cube.
The Holy Place refers to the shepherding.
There is the ark of covenant in the Most Holy Place. It refers to the Bride Tidings.

So, the number three thousand means one who has been shepherded by the Bride Tidings. It is good, but he is not earnest. He is negligent, especially unwilling to sacrifice time, power, money, sin, feeling, et ceterafor God.
If one does not want to sacrifice, he surely hurts and sacrifices others and God or the true teaching word. It means that he becomes the same as the antichrist.

The facts found in the spirit of ruin are as follows:

  1. Wickedness sins. For example, Achan stole.
    Joshua 7:1-2
    7:1. But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the LORD burned against the children of Israel.
    7:2. Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, "Go up and spy out the country." So the men went up and spied out Ai.


    What was stolen? Garment, silver, and gold which were the accursed things.
    Joshua 7:20-21
    7:20. And Achan answered Joshua and said, "Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I have done:
    7:21. "When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it."


    Joshua 6:24
    6:24. But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

    Now, it means that one steals the tithe and special offerings that belong to God.
    Consequently, Achan was thrown to the Valley of Achor that means the one of trouble.

    Joshua 7:25-26
    7:25. And Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day." So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.
    7:26. Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.


    In the past time, Achan stole silver and gold. Judas stole God's money. Now, one steals God's trust to the shepherd about the tithe and special offerings. The shepherd is not entrusted to receive God's anymore, so he is not entrusted the spiritual food too.
    Consequently, the congregation is hungry and spiritually dead.

  2. The sin of uncleanness.
    Deuteronomy 3:11
    3:11. "For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width,

    Be careful with uncleanness in marriage, starting from the time of the relationship.

    The iron bedstead refers to the hardness of heart and bitterness. A husband is harsh to his wife and a wife speaks rudely to her husband.

  3. The idle words, namely lie, gossip, evil speaking, and blasphemy, including breaking the promise.
    Proverbs 11:11
    11:11. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

The spirit of ruin starts from not earnestly living in spirituality especially one who has been in teaching. It is dangerous.

The fact found in seriousness is honesty.
Proverbs 10:20
10:20. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wicked is worth little.

If we are not honest, we will become evil, unclean, and bitter.

The example of one who is ruined and becomes the antichrist is Judas Iscariot.
1 John 2:18-19
2:18. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.
2:19. They went out from us, but
they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

Judas was ruined. He became useless up to perdition because of the following reasons:

  1. He was not of the true shepherding. His shepherd was Jesus, but he still went to the scribes.
  2. He was not of the true teaching word. He started criticizing Jesus and so on.
  3. He was not of the ministry.
  4. He was not honest.
  5. He was not of the worship.

Consequently, the four times nine was gone. He lost his ministry. It means losing anything.
He got disappointed and desperate as well as hung himself, so he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. It means the decay up to perdition.

God does not see our greatness, weakness, and infirmity in all things. He sees our seriousness and sincerity or honesty.
Joshua 7:6
7:6. Then Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.

Joshua fell at Jesus' feet. He confessed that he was just the clay. He earnestly confessed his spiritual weakness and infirmity, namely the sins up to the peak.
We confess our sin by the encouragement of the teaching Word and we do not sin anymore. We confess our fleshly mind that does not want to sacrifice for spiritual thing, but underestimates the spiritual thing.
We confess our physical condition, namely getting lost, failed, and unable to do anything, et cetera.

Hosea 6:3
6:3. Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

If we are truly honest in marriage, ministry, and worship, God will come to us like the sun and rain.
If there are the sun and rain, there will be rainbow.
The rainbow of God's glory is in the midst of us.

The results are as follows:

  1. God's merciful hands set us free from curse and God's punishment.
    Genesis 9:13-15
    9:13. "I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
    9:14. "It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;
    9:15. "and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.


    We are set free from sins up to the peak, so we can live in righteousness.
    We are lifted up from the valley of tears, problem, and sorrow, so we are happy and all problems are finished.

  2. The hands of God give the mind of Jesus, namely seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
    It means that we must prioritize the spiritual thing more than the physical one or sacrifice the physical thing to get the spiritual one.

    Revelation 10:1

    10:1. I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

    We become the servant of God who is faithful.
    As a result, we will be lifted up from the valley of thorns, fear, and worry to peace. All things become easy and light.

    Prioritize God and He shall add all things to us. He will never lie. We will be blessed and taken care of by God abundantly until we give thanks to Him.

  3. The glory of God.
    Revelation 4:3
    4:3. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.

    Ezekiel 1:28
    1:28. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

    Martha loved God but she was allowed to face dark cloud and hard rain, namely Lazarus had been dead. It means decay and failure.

    Failure becomes success and beauty and the impossible thing becomes possible until we become as glorious as God. We are ready to greet His coming on the glorious clouds.

God blesses us.
