Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 4:8
4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. It means that we must experience the covering of the wings of God and have the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread or the garments of holiness so that we can be lifted up to the heavenly kingdom like the four living creatures.
The activities on the throne of the heavenly kingdom are as follows.
Revelation 4:9-10
4:9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
We are learning the activity of sanctification. The sanctification is related to God Himself, namelyLord God Almighty, who was (referring to the past) and is (referring to the present) and is to come (referring to the future).
Ephesians 4:11-12, 7, 15
4:11And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
4:12 for the equipping of the saintsfor the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--
After we are sanctified, we are equipped with the ministry from the Son of God, the gifts from Holy Spirit God, and the love of Father God, so we are used in the ministry for the edifying of the perfect body of Christ or the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain. We are accompanied by the Trinity of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, or the Head who is responsible for our life.
Matthew 28:19-20
28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
28:20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
The accompanying of Jesus, the Head or the heavenly Bridegroom, to the church or the bride is shown by the Ark of the Covenant. The mercy seat with the two cherubim refers to the Trinity of God. The ark refers to the perfect church. The mercy seat cannot move from the ark.
Psalm 132:8
132:8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
God gives us extra power, so we can be strong and of good courage. We can hold fast to and obey the true teaching Word. We are not disappointed or hopeless as well as do not leave God in facing all things, but keep faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God. We keep on worshiping and loving God more than all things. We believe and hope in God more than all things like John who leaned on Jesus' bosom.
John 13:23
13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
The results are as follows.
God blesses you.
Revelation 4:8
4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"
The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. It means that we must experience the covering of the wings of God and have the skillfully woven tunic of fine linen thread or the garments of holiness so that we can be lifted up to the heavenly kingdom like the four living creatures.
The activities on the throne of the heavenly kingdom are as follows.
- Sanctification.
- Worship.
Revelation 4:9-10
4:9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
We are learning the activity of sanctification. The sanctification is related to God Himself, namelyLord God Almighty, who was (referring to the past) and is (referring to the present) and is to come (referring to the future).
- The sanctification to the past life.
1 John 1:7-9
1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
It refers to the sanctification to our past sins or the ones we have done, said, and thought. The sanctification is done by the power of the blood of Jesus. The process is we confess our sins honestly to God and others. As a result, the blood of Jesus actively does these things.- Forgiving us our sins or covering them until there is no remnant anymore as if we had never done it.
- Sanctifying us and pulling out the roots of sin, so we will not sin anymore, but live in the righteousness or light. We can join the true fellowship or the one in the light.
Matthew 3:8-11
3:8 "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
3:9 "and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
3:10 "And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
After the roots of sin are pulled out, the Gentiles can have the good roots. The facts found in having the good roots are as follows.- Believing in Jesus and repenting or being dead to sin.
- Being baptized of water. One who has died to sin must be buried in water with Jesus and raised from water to get the new life, namely the heavenly life in the anointing of Holy Spirit. It refers to the life in righteousness. We live by faith and experience the atmosphere of the throne of heaven.
Galatians 3:7, 14
3:7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
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.
The righteous will receive the blessings of Abraham up to the descendants, namely the physical and spiritual blessings up to the eternal life.
- Forgiving us our sins or covering them until there is no remnant anymore as if we had never done it.
- The sanctification to our present life. It happens by two things as follows.
- The Word which is spoken by Jesus.
John 15:3
15:3 "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
It refers to the revelation of the Word through a verse that explains other verses in the Bible or the true teaching Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword.
Psalm 119:15-16, 11, 18
119:15 I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.
119:16 I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You!
119:18 Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law.
The process is through hearing the true teaching Word seriously until we can enjoy or delight in it and understand. We believe in the Word, so it becomes faith in our heart. The Word becomes a brake so that we do not think, say, or do sinful things anymore until we cannot sin. One who sins is bumping the Word, consequently he is in destruction. We must obey the Word in every step of our life, so we can experience the wondrous thing of the Word.
Psalm 119:105
119:105 NUN. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
The Word becomes a lamp so that we do not fall because of the snares of sin, but we keep on living in righteousness and holiness. This is the wondrous thing of the Word. The snare of sin is put at the place we often pass. We have been snared when we start to pay attention to or like something that is wrong.
The Word becomes a lamp so that we do not fall in the calling and election. We keep on serving and ministering to God according to the ministry God has entrusted to us until the end line, so we have the full right to enter the kingdom of heaven.
2 Peter 1:10-11
1:10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
1:11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Word becomes a light to our path to give us sure direction to enter the city of light, namely the New Jerusalem. - The chastening.
Hebrews 12:10
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.
Every preaching of the true teaching Word is the same as the stretching out of the cord of God's love to drag us from the darkness of sin to the marvelous light. If it is ignored, it will be spun to be a whip to chasten. This is also the love of God to make us return to the righteousness and holiness.
Matthew 21:12-13
21:12Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.
21:13 And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'"
The spirit of selling-buying must be sanctified. Selling and buying the sacrifice of Christ means falling and rising in sin or repeating it. The dove is sold, so there is no honesty. It begins from not being honest about the teachings. There is no peace, but envy, revenge, fear, worry, and distress.
If we are willingly sanctified, we will be the house of prayer and experience the atmosphere of the throne of heavenly kingdom. We feel the joy of heaven and will see the miracle of God like a branch that bears sweet fruits.
If one keeps on rejecting the chastening of God, He will let him go to wait for the judgment up to the perdition.
- The Word which is spoken by Jesus.
- The sanctification to the future.
1 John 3:2-3
3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
3:3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
We always hope the second coming of Jesus, so we can live in holiness, just as Jesus is holy. The fact found in it is persevering in waiting for the second coming of Jesus.
Romans 8:24-25
8:24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Acts 2:41-42
2:41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousandsouls were added to them.
2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
The perseverance is related to the figure three thousand or the Holy Place, whose length is twenty cubits, width is ten cubits, and height is ten cubits (the volume is 20 x 10 x 10 = 2000 cubits cube) and the Most Holy Place, whose length, width, and height are same, namely ten cubits (the volume is 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 cubits cube). It means as follows.- Persevering in the Holy Place or shepherding pen, namely in doing the three main services to God as follows.
- Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Serviceto have the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts. The sheep is drinking.
- Table of Showbread or perseverance in doing Bible Study Service with Holy Communionto get the fellowship with the Son of God in the Word and the sacrifice of Christ. The sheep is eating.
- Golden Altar of Incense or perseverance in doing Worship Prayer Serviceto get the fellowship with Father God in the love. The sheep is breathing.
- Golden Candlestick or perseverance in doing General Serviceto have the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts. The sheep is drinking.
- Persevering in the Most Holy Place, namely we experience the sprinkling of blood. It is the last sanctification to sanctify the sins which we often do not realize, namely the self-truth or leprosy that causes one to feel right but not in line with the Bible. The self-truth also means covering sins by blaming others. We are also sanctified from spiritual lukewarmness, namely prioritizing physical things only, but there is no obedience to the Word.
Matthew 7:21-23
7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
7:22 "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
- Persevering in the Holy Place or shepherding pen, namely in doing the three main services to God as follows.
Ephesians 4:11-12, 7, 15
4:11And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
4:12 for the equipping of the saintsfor the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--
After we are sanctified, we are equipped with the ministry from the Son of God, the gifts from Holy Spirit God, and the love of Father God, so we are used in the ministry for the edifying of the perfect body of Christ or the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain. We are accompanied by the Trinity of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, or the Head who is responsible for our life.
Matthew 28:19-20
28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
28:20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
The accompanying of Jesus, the Head or the heavenly Bridegroom, to the church or the bride is shown by the Ark of the Covenant. The mercy seat with the two cherubim refers to the Trinity of God. The ark refers to the perfect church. The mercy seat cannot move from the ark.
Psalm 132:8
132:8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.
God gives us extra power, so we can be strong and of good courage. We can hold fast to and obey the true teaching Word. We are not disappointed or hopeless as well as do not leave God in facing all things, but keep faithful and fervent in spirit in serving and ministering to God. We keep on worshiping and loving God more than all things. We believe and hope in God more than all things like John who leaned on Jesus' bosom.
John 13:23
13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
The results are as follows.
- Bringing us to the resting place. We live in peace and all things become easy and light.
Psalm 132:8
132:8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. - God makes all things good, successful and beautiful.
1 Chronicles 19:13
19:13 "Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight." - The hand of God is able to solve all impossible problems.
1 Chronicles 28:20
28:20 And David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God--my God--will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
The hand of God is able to sanctify us until the edifying of the perfect body of Christ is finished. We are worthy to welcome Jesus' second coming until we are on the throne of the heavenly kingdom forever.
God blesses you.
