Bible Study Service in Malang, August 02, 2018 (Thursday Evening)
Peace
and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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."
The
marriage supper of the Lamb refers to the meeting between Jesus, who
comes for the second time in the glory as the Head and the Heavenly
Bridegroom, with the perfect church, the body, or the bride of God,
on the glorious clouds. Then, we will enter the Future Paradise or
the One Thousand Years Kingdom of Peace and the New Jerusalem or the
eternal heavenly kingdom.
Romans
8:11 8:11
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in
you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Who
is the Heavenly Bridegroom? He
is Jesus, a man in flesh and blood who is sinless, but must die on
the cross to redeem the sins of men. Nevertheless, Jesus is
resurrected by the power of Holy Spirit in the glorious body and
ascends to heaven.
Who
is the heavenly bride? The
heavenly bride refers to us, the men in flesh and blood who are
sinful, but have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus and set free
from sins. Then, we receive the power of Jesus' resurrection or
Holy Spirit and the Word of God, so we can be sanctified and renewed
until being perfect.
Matthew
22:23 22:23
The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to
Him and asked Him,
Be
careful of false teachings of the Sadducees, who say there are
neither resurrection of the dead, spirit, nor angel. Such teaching
means that there is no continuation after living in the world. It is
the same as rejecting the power of Jesus' resurrection. The people
reject to be sanctified and changed to be the bride. It is called as
the rejection of the bride.
1
Corinthians 15:32 15:32
If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what
advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and
drink, for tomorrow we die!"
Consequently,
their life only fulfills the instinct or lust of the flesh up to the
peak of sin and they will be left when Jesus comes a second time as
well as destroyed forever.
Jesus
explained the resurrection of the dead through the following things.
- The
eternal covenant between God and Abraham.
Matthew
22:31-32 22:31"But
concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was
spoken to you by God, saying, 22:32 'I am the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?God is not the God of the
dead, but of the living."
The
covenant when Abraham was still alive was about entering
Canaan. Genesis
17:7-8 17:7
"And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your
descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting
covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. 17:8
"Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in
which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting
possession; and I will be their God."
Exodus
3:6-8 3:6
Moreover He said, "I am the God of your father -- the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid
his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. 3:7 And the LORD
said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are
in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for
I know their sorrows. 3:8 "So I have come down to deliver
them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from
that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and
honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the
Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
It
is about the covenant after Abraham had died. Thus, the covenant of
God is still valid to Abraham and the descendants although he has
died because there is the resurrection of the dead, namely the
promise to enter spiritual Canaan or the New Jerusalem.
- Introducing
Himself as the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Matthew
22:32 22:32
'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
The
God of Abraham refers to Father God, the Lord, or the first
cherub. The God of Isaac refers to the Son of God, Jesus, or the
mercy seat with the sprinkling of blood. The God of Jacob refers
to Holy Spirit, Christ, or the second cherub. Thus, the God of
Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob
refer to the Lord Jesus Christ in the glory as the King of all kings
or the Heavenly Bridegroom.
The Trinity of God is not the
God of the dead, but of the living. Being dead does not means
the bodily death, but being ruled over by the death because of
rejecting the resurrection power of Jesus.
1
Corinthians 15:51-52 15:51
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed-- 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the
dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Being
dead or alive physically is the concerning or authority of God. It
depends on His mercy. Our concerning while we are living in the
world is that we must hear the true teaching Word which is sharper
than any two-edged sword or the loud sound of the trumpet to change
us from the carnal man to the spiritual one like Jesus is.
The
last trumpet sounds when Jesus comes a second time and two great
things will happen as follows.
- The
people who have died in the Lord will be resurrected in the body of
glory like Jesus.
- The
people who live in the Lord will be changed in the twinkling of an
eye in the body of glory.
Both
will be one perfect body of Christ. It is the meaning of the living,
namely ones who are not ruled over by the death, so they can be the
bride of God. This refers to the ark of the Ark of Covenant.
The
example of the living is David. Psalm
118:15-18 118:15
The voice of rejoicing and salvation Is in the tents of the
righteous; The right hand of the LORD does valiantly. 118:16
The right hand of the LORD is exalted; The right hand of the LORD
does valiantly. 118:17 I shall not die, but live, And declare
the works of the LORD. 118:18 The LORD has chastened me
severely, But He has not given me over to death.
The
signs are as follows.
- [Psalm
118:16] Living in the right hand of God
- [Psalm
118:18] Willingly receiving the hard chastening of God and
undergoing the sanctification and renewal.
We
are discussing the second one. God
sanctifies us with two things as follows.
- The
Word which is spoken by Jesus Himself or revealed through a verse
that explains other verses in the Bible.
John
15:3 15:3
"You are already clean because of
the word which I have spoken to you.
We
must hear and obey the true teaching Word, so we can undergo the
sanctification.
Hebrews
4:12 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and
spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
The
teaching Word which is obeyed will sanctify us. It starts from the
heart and mind which are sanctified from the following things.
- The
evil lust or the will of money. It causes stinginess and
greediness.
The stinginess means that one cannot give to God
and others who are in need. The greediness means robbing the
possession of God and others. We are sanctified until we can
feel more joyful to give than to receive.
- The
unclean desires, namely the sins concerning eating-drinking
such as smoking, getting drunk, and drugs abuse as well as the
ones concerning marrying-being given in marriage.
We are sanctified until our marriage, deeds, and words are
holy.
- The
bitterness or envy, hatred, up to the one without any reason. We
are sanctified until we can love one another.
Ephesians
4:11-12 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,
If
we are holy, we will be equipped with the ministry and the gifts of
Holy Spirit. We are used in the ministry for the edification of the
body of Christ and our life becomes sweet and beautiful.
- The
chastening.
Hebrews
12:5-6,8-10 12:5
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to
sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor
be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; 12:6 For whom the
LORD loves He
chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives." 12:8 But if you
are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then
you are illegitimate and not sons. 12:9 Furthermore, we have
had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall
we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits
and live? 12:10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as
seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be
partakers of His holiness.
The
teaching Word becomes the stretching out of the cords of God's
love. If it is rejected, the cords will be collected and spun to
become the whip of God's chastening in all aspects. The purpose
is to make us return to the holy life. After we return to the
holiness, the chastening will stop.
A pastor who has fallen
in sin must receive the sword of the Word for the forgiveness from
sin and chastening for returning to the holiness.
2
Samuel 11:1-4 11:1
It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out
to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all
Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah.
But David remained at Jerusalem. 11:2 Then it happened one
evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the
king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the
woman was very beautiful to behold. 11:3 So David sent and
inquired about the woman. And someone said, "Is this not
Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"
11:4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to
him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity;
and she returned to her house.
2
Samuel 12:5-14 12:5
So David's anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said
to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this shall
surely die! 12:6 "And he shall restore fourfold for the
lamb, because he did this thing and because he had no pity."
12:7 Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! Thus
says the LORD God of Israel: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and
I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 12:8 'I gave you your
master's house and your master's wives into your keeping, and
gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too
little, I also would have given you much more! 12:9 'Why have
you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight?
You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his
wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the
people of Ammon. 12:10 'Now therefore, the sword shall never
depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken
the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.' 12:11 "Thus
says the LORD: 'Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from
your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give
them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight
of this sun. 12:12 'For you did it secretly, but I will do
this thing before all Israel, before the sun.'" 12:13 So
David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD."
And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin;
you shall not die. 12:14 "However, because by this deed
you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to
blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
2
Samuel 16:20-22 16:20
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give counsel as to what we
should do." 16:21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go
in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the
house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your
father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong."
16:22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the top of the
house, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight
of all Israel.
2
Samuel 15:25-26 15:25
Then the king said to Zadok, "Carry the ark of God back into
the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me
back and show me both it and His dwelling place. 15:26 "But
if He says thus: 'I have no delight in you,' here I am, let Him
do to me as seems good to Him."
In
the time of war or ministry for edifying the body of Christ, do
neither become weak and inactive nor hinder it, or else you will
commit sin secretly and God will sanctify through the sword of the
Word and chasten openly to reveal the reproach because of the hidden
sin to make you realize it and return to the holiness.
David
could receive the chastening although it came openly, so he kept on
gotten the grace of God. God is able to return the things which have
vanished away and to make everything good.
Hebrews
12:10-14 12:10
For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them,
but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.
12:11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but
painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of
righteousness to those who have been trained by it. 12:12
Therefore strengthen
the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,
12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is
lame
may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. 12:14 Pursue peace
with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the
Lord:
The
results of the chastening of God are as follows.
- [Hebrews
12:12] Strengthening the weak hands or ones who are lukewarm or
unfaithful, so they can be faithful and fervent in spirit in
serving and ministering to God.
- [Hebrews
12:12] Strengthening the feeble knees or ones who always repeat the
sins and cannot live in righteousness because they cannot stand
uprightly upon the sacrifice of Christ. As a result, they can live
in righteousness. They do not want to commit sin anymore until they
cannot sin.
- [Hebrews
12:13] Being lame or doubtful is changed into being strong and of
good courage.
1
Kings 18:24 18:24
"Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call on
the name of the LORD; and the God who answers by fire, He is God."
So all the people answered and said, "It is well spoken."
- [Hebrews
12:14] It continues until we can see the Lord, our mouth can cry
out to Him, and our hands can be lifted up to him. It means
surrendering and crying out to God as well as worshiping Him with a
broken heart.
We can confess all of our physical and spiritual
weaknesses and become like a crying baby.
Jonah
2:6 2:6
I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its
bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from
the pit, O LORD, my God.
Jonah
2:7 2:7"When
my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer
went up to You, Into Your holy temple.
When
you are in sorrow, suffering, difficulty, drowning, physical and
spiritual decrease, total failure, weariness, heavy burden, and the
dead-end like the condition in the fish' belly, we must return to
holiness until our eyes can see the Lord.
Jonah
2:9-10 2:9
But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will
pay what I have vowed.
Salvation is of the LORD." 2:10 So the LORD spoke to the
fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
One
who vows refers to the holy one. It means returning to holiness.
As a result, there will be God's help which we cannot think.
He works in His time with His own way and hands, without the
influence of any man. We are lifted up by God. We have the
beautiful and successful future life until we reach the perfection.
God
blesses you.
