Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant for the last sanctification up tp the perfection.
The sprinklings of blood must be accompanied with the incense. Previously, Aaron brought the blood and incense to the Most Holy Place once a year.
It means as follows:
On the contrary, the peak of the worldly life (without the sprinklings of blood) is entering the peak of sins which aims at the Babylon City for being destroyed by God forever.
Revelation 14 can be divided into the following three parts:
ad. 3.
There are two kinds of reaping on earth as follows:
Our following God determines what kind of reaping we will experience.
ad 1.
Revelation 14:14-16
14:14.Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
14:16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Who will reap the wheat on earth? 'One like the Son of Man', namely Jesus will.
Revelation 1:13
1:13.and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
Revelation 6:2
6:2.And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crownwas given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Revelation 19:11-12
19:11.Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
19:12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
'many crowns'= always being victorious until having many crowns.
Daniel 7:13
7:13."I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.
Psalm 68:4
68:4.Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, And rejoice before Him.
The last sanctification is the same as thrusting the sins up to the peak with sickle, namely the true teaching Word.
Who is thrust with sickle? One who follows Jesus with the seven sprinklings of blood is. So, he has the same quality as the core of the heavenly bride from the house of Israel. We become the ripe wheat for being brought to the barn of the heavenly kingdom.
Nevertheless, we still need to be careful after entering the reaping of the wheat.
Matthew 13:36-43
13:36.Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the taresof the field."
13:37 He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
13:38 "The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
13:39 "The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
13:40 "Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
13:41 "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,
13:42 "and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:43 "Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
The tittle is The Parable of the Tares Explained.
There is still the separation between wheat and tares.
On the last days, Satan tries so that the sons of God cannot become the wheat, but the tares which are burnt forever in the hell.
How can Satan make wheat become tares?
God blesses you.
Revelation 14 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of the Covenant for the last sanctification up tp the perfection.
The sprinklings of blood must be accompanied with the incense. Previously, Aaron brought the blood and incense to the Most Holy Place once a year.
It means as follows:
- No one can experience the last sanctification without the worship prayer that increases up to the peak.
- By the last sanctification and the peak of worship, we are perfected to be the bride of God to enter the one-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace or the future Paradise and the New Jerusalem forever.
On the contrary, the peak of the worldly life (without the sprinklings of blood) is entering the peak of sins which aims at the Babylon City for being destroyed by God forever.
Revelation 14 can be divided into the following three parts:
- Verse 1-5 = the church's following Jesus as the Lamb of God (it has been explained from General Service in Malang, August 15, 2021 to Prayer Service in Malang, October 14, 2021).
- Verse 6-13 = the announcement about the judgment (it has been explained in General Service in Malang, October 17, 2021 to General Service in Malang, December 05, 2021).
- Verse 14-20 = the harvest on earth.
ad. 3.
There are two kinds of reaping on earth as follows:
- Reaping the wheat.
Revelation 14:14-16
14:14.Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
14:16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
It refers to the fruit of the sprinkling of blood or the last sanctification for being brought to the barn of the heavenly kingdom. - Reaping the vine on earth.
Revelation 14:17-20
14:17.Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe."
14:19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
14:20 And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.
It refers to the fruit of the life that rejects the sprinkling of blood, so it must be thrown into the great winepress of the wrath until there is blood coming out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles.
Our following God determines what kind of reaping we will experience.
ad 1.
Revelation 14:14-16
14:14.Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
14:16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Who will reap the wheat on earth? 'One like the Son of Man', namely Jesus will.
Revelation 1:13
1:13.and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
Revelation 6:2
6:2.And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crownwas given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Revelation 19:11-12
19:11.Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
19:12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
'many crowns'= always being victorious until having many crowns.
Daniel 7:13
7:13."I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.

13:37 He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
13:38 "The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
13:39 "The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
13:40 "Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

13:42 "and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:43 "Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
The tittle is The Parable of the Tares Explained.
There is still the separation between wheat and tares.
On the last days, Satan tries so that the sons of God cannot become the wheat, but the tares which are burnt forever in the hell.
How can Satan make wheat become tares?
- Falsifying the seed, namely the false teaching.
Growing at the first time, wheat and tares are almost same.
2 Peter 2:17-22
2:17.These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.
2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.
2:20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in themand overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.
2:21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
2:22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."
'For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness'= it is so dangerous that one has known the teaching and then he turns away like Judas Iscariot.
Satan falsifies the church through the false teachers and the false teachings.
The signs of one who receives the false teaching are as follows:- 'wells without water'= there is no revelation of the Word, so a pastor cannot feed the congregation.
Consequently, the spiritual dryness happens in the congregation until looking for the satisfaction in the world or the worldly satisfaction which is not in line with the Word is brought to the church. - 'clouds carried by a tempest'= one is not useful, but becomes burden.
- 'great swelling words of emptiness'= gossip, slander, and so on.
- verse 19 = false testimony.
- verse 20 = the spirituality is worse than before. One never repents. Moreover, he blames at others, so the sins increase.
- verse 22 = having the characteristics of dog and swine or keeping on being the Gentiles who do not want to be sanctified.
- 'wells without water'= there is no revelation of the Word, so a pastor cannot feed the congregation.
- Mixing the seeds, so there is mixture of spiritual and physical things.
Exodus 12:38
12:38.A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds -- a great deal of livestock.
It has happened when the Israelites who had celebrated Passover went out of the slavery of Egypt. The other people who had not celebrated Passover (not experiencing the sprinkling of blood) were also with the house of Israel.
On the last days, towards the church's going out of the world for seeing Jesus, there will be the mixture between the spiritual and physical things.
Numbers 11:4-5,18,21-23,33-34
11:4.Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also weptagain and said: "Who will give us meat to eat?
11:5 "We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
11:18. "Then you shall say to the people,'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the LORD, saying, "Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you shall eat.
11:21 And Moses said, "The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet You have said,'I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.'
11:22 "Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?"
11:23 And the LORD said to Moses, "Has the LORD's arm been shortened?Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not."
11:33 But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was aroused against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.
11:34 So he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving.
The mixed multitude refers to one who has the intense craving or the fleshly lusts which cannot be controlled anymore by the sword of the Word.
Towards the church's seeing Jesus on the glorious clouds, the mixed multitude will appear again.
They only remembered Egypt. It means always going back, never going forward. This is the danger of intense craving.
It means prioritizing the worldly things more than the spiritual ones until being the same as the world. Such life cannot go towards the New Jerusalem, but perishes forever with the world.
The mixed multitude insists the worldly things as follows:- The worldly food, especially for the soul, namely the show or text which are not good and the spiritual food which is mixed, so one does not like the teaching Word from heaven which is repeated or manna.
Numbers 11:5-6
11:5."We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
11:6 "but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!"
It refers to the spiritual food which is mixed like eating fish, cucumber, and so on or the Word which is not preached by a pastor, but other people.
The consequence is being thin spiritually. It means not growing, but being dead spiritually or not fervent anymore in the spiritual things. - The flesh or the fleshly thingswhich make them reject the Holy Communion (Jesus' flesh) or get false in the Holy Communion, namely they do not examine themselves by the sharpness of the sword of the Word.
Numbers 11:4
11:4.Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meatto eat?
The mistake in the Holy Communion happens when the pastor does not give the true teaching Word or he has given the true teaching Word, but the congregation keeps on hardening their heart and keeping the fleshly wills.
Consequently, Kibroth Hattaavahhappens, namely being drowned in sins up to the peak which is ingrained and they cannot be set free anymore until they perish forever. It also includes rejecting the burial in the water baptism.
The Holy Communion means as follows:- The fulfillment of the promise of God. Let us be serious in the Holy Communion. We must seriously hear the Word for doing the introspection in our life.
- The Word which is ingrained and able to do all impossible things for us.
Numbers 11:22-23
11:22."Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?"
11:23 And the LORD said to Moses, "Has the LORD's arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happento you or not." - The biggest chance for burying the fleshly lusts, so we can live in holiness.
- The fulfillment of the promise of God. Let us be serious in the Holy Communion. We must seriously hear the Word for doing the introspection in our life.
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.
The mixed multitudes refer to God's servants who are not serious in the true and good shepherding.
It is dangerous! They are inside, but mixed. They will be the mixed multitude.
Not being serious, one must be the Antichrist.
Not beings serious means as follows:- Unfaithfulness.
Hebrews 12:26-29
12:26.whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."
12:27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
12:28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
God lets the shaking happen so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. This is the test of faithfulness and seriousness.
If we are serious and faithful in the true shepherding, we will keep on serving and ministering to God with the way which can please Him as follows:- The perseverance in doing the three main services to God.
- Being faithful and trustworthy (with reverence and godly fear).
- The perseverance in doing the three main services to God.
- Not being renewed, but keeping the man of blood and flesh with the eighteen characteristics. This is the peak of the mixture.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
3:1.But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
3:2 For men will be lovers of themselves(1), lovers of money(2), boasters(3), proud(4), blasphemers(5), disobedient to parents(6), unthankful(7), unholy(8),
3:3 unloving(9), unforgiving(10), slanderers(11), without self-control(12), brutal(13), despisers of good(14),
3:4 traitors(15), headstrong(16), haughty(17), lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God(18: disobedience),
3:5 having a form of godlinessbut denying its power. And from such people turn away!
'disobedient to parents'= disobedience to the physical, spiritual, and heavenly parents.
'without self-control'= having no Holy Spirit.
Matthew 26:21-25
26:21.Now as they were eating, He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me(1)."
26:22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, "Lord, is it I?"
26:23 He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me(2).
26:24 "The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born(3)."
26:25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."
In the true shepherding pen or the perseverance in doing the three main services to God, the sanctification to the body, soul, and spirit happens.
Consuming the true teaching Word and Holy Communion, the sanctification to the body, soul, and spirit also happens.
Judas had been warned three times by the Lord, but he rejected it. He kept the man of blood and flesh or his sins, so he could not repent anymore.
Consequently, he was demon-possessed and in the hands of Satan until he hanged himself. His life was hanged, ashamed, and destroyed forever.
John 13:26-27
13:26.Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
13:27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."
Verse 27 = God does not want to do anything. Be careful!
Matthew 26:22
26:22.And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, "Lord, is it I?"
This is the right attitude, namely doing the introspection in our life by the sharpness of the sword of the Word which is repeated. Finding sin, we only confess it and do not repeat it. We repent.
Such life is leaning on Jesus' bosom.
John 13:23
13:23.Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosomone of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John 21:21-23
21:20.Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breastat the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
21:21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?"
21:22 Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."
21:23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?"
We are on the embrace of God's merciful hands. We only rely on Him. He will pay attention to, care for, and struggle for us. Our life and death are in His hands, not Satan's. Moreover, we are in God's hands up to the perfection.
The results are as follows:- The merciful hands of God are able to protect and preserve us who are small and powerless in the midst of crises in the world until the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world. We are evacuated to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the Antichrist. We are preserved directly by God through the Word and Holy Communion.
- The merciful hands of God are able to help us. The dead can be alive. The impossible can be made possible. The sick are healed. The ruined can be made good. Failure can be changed into success and beauty before God. He does all things we will, according to His will.
- The merciful hands of God are able to renew us from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones like Jesus us. The rotten can be fragrant.
What is the rottenness of John? He ran away with being naked when Jesus was captured in Gethsemane Garden. His love was still thin, namely disappointment, committing sins, and so on.
May be we also have the thin love. God will change us, so we can love Him more than anything and willingly sacrifice all things for Him.
When Jesus comes a second time, the dead in the Lord will be resurrected in the body of glory. The living in God until Jesus comes a second time will be changed in the body of glory.
Both will be one perfect body of Christ for welcoming Jesus' second coming. We enter Paradise and New Jerusalem forever. The grain enters the barn of the heavenly kingdom.
- The merciful hands of God are able to protect and preserve us who are small and powerless in the midst of crises in the world until the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world. We are evacuated to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the Antichrist. We are preserved directly by God through the Word and Holy Communion.
- The worldly food, especially for the soul, namely the show or text which are not good and the spiritual food which is mixed, so one does not like the teaching Word from heaven which is repeated or manna.
God blesses you.
