Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 16:17-21
16:17. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"
16:18. And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.
16:19. Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
16:20. Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
16:21. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
The seventh bowl of the wrath of God is poured out into the air. The consequences are as follows:
We must pay attention to the spiritual lightnings, so we do not experience the second consequences.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
4:3. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4:4. whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Habakkuk 3:11
3:11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; At the light of Your arrowsthey went, At the shining of Your glittering spear.
Zechariah 9:14
9:14. Then the LORD will be seen over them, And His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, And go with whirlwinds from the south.
The spiritual meaning of lightning is the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ or the light of arrows. It refers to the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword or the Bride Tidings.
Isaiah 42:21
42:21. The LORD is well pleased for His righteousness' sake; He will exalt the law and make it honorable.
We have received the salvation by Christ's sacrifice (the Good News), so we believe in Jesus, repent, and enter water baptism. We live in righteousness. We are saved and blessed. Further, we must see the lightning, namely we hear and obey the true teaching Word of the Bride Tidings [Mathews 28:19-20].
There are two possibilities as follows:
What does the light of the arrow purify?
God blesses us.
Revelation 16:17-21
16:17. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"
16:18. And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.

16:21. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
The seventh bowl of the wrath of God is poured out into the air. The consequences are as follows:
- A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!"
- There were noises and thunderings and lightnings ; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth up to the doomsday.
We must pay attention to the spiritual lightnings, so we do not experience the second consequences.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
4:3. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4:4. whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Habakkuk 3:11
3:11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; At the light of Your arrowsthey went, At the shining of Your glittering spear.
Zechariah 9:14
9:14. Then the LORD will be seen over them, And His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, And go with whirlwinds from the south.
The spiritual meaning of lightning is the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ or the light of arrows. It refers to the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword or the Bride Tidings.
Isaiah 42:21
42:21. The LORD is well pleased for His righteousness' sake; He will exalt the law and make it honorable.
We have received the salvation by Christ's sacrifice (the Good News), so we believe in Jesus, repent, and enter water baptism. We live in righteousness. We are saved and blessed. Further, we must see the lightning, namely we hear and obey the true teaching Word of the Bride Tidings [Mathews 28:19-20].
There are two possibilities as follows:
- The negative possibility.
Isaiah 42:18-20
42:18. "Hear, you deaf; And look, you blind, that you may see.
42:19. Who is blind but My servant, Or deaf as My messenger whom I send? Who is blind as he who is perfect, And blind as the LORD'S servant?
42:20. Seeing many things, but you do not observe; Opening the ears, but he does not hear."
The mind is blinded and the ear is made deaf by the god of this age that increases up to the last days, namely the hardness of heart, so one rejects the teaching Word or the Bride Tidings. He keeps sinning up to the peak (the sin of Babylon), so he is used in the building of the Babylon or the false church that will be destroyed. - The positive possibility.
The servant of God who becomes gentle can see the light of arrows. It means hearing and obeying the Bride Tidings, so he experiences the purification continuously up to perfection. We can greet Jesus when He comes a second time. We are set free from the punishment and doomsday.
What does the light of the arrow purify?
- The heart. It is the center of our life.
Psalm 45:5
45:5. Your arrows are sharp in the heartof the King's enemies; The peoples fall under You.
How great a servant of God is, if the Word does not reach his heart, so he is never touched and purified by the Word, he will burst open in the middle and all his entrails gush out like Judas Iscariot.
Matthew 15:19
15:19. "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts(1), murders(2), adulteries(3), fornications(4), thefts(5), false witness(6), blasphemies(7).
The heart is the store of sins. It is the hiding place of the seven sins, so it becomes dark. His eyes become dark, and he lives blindly, namely committing sins up to the peak.
If we are purified from the seven sins, we will live in the light of holiness.
Psalm 45:1,15
45:1. My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
45:15. With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King's palace.
Our mouth can produce the true and good words as well as testify and worship God.
The lamp keeps burning in the household, shepherding, and before men until we become the light of the world when Jesus comes a second time. We can become strong and of good courage. We are used in the revival of the building of the perfect body of Christ. - The gall and heart.
Job 16:13
16:13. His archers surround me. He pierces my heartand does not pity; He pours out my gallon the ground.
The purification of gall is the one of bitterness, envy, revenge, et cetera.
The roots of bitterness must be taken away, so there is no bitterness.
The process is that the arrows pierce the gall. It means purifying the bitterness, so we can confess and forgive one another.
Psalm 73:21
73:21. Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind.
'mind' refers to the inmost minds, namely one gets pain, fury, ill will, disappointment, and desperation as well as feels being treated unfairly. It must be purified, so we experience peace.
Revelation 2:18,23,20,24
2:18. "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:
2:23. "I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
2:20. "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
2:24. "Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden.
We are also purified from the false teaching that increases on the last days that tries to mislead the chosen people (those who are in the Bride Tidings).
The false teachings are as follows:- The teaching of Jezebel, namely the false teaching that permits women to teach or have authority over men, starting from marriage and congregation. It destroys the ordination.
1 Timothy 2:11-14
2:11. Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
2:12. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
2:13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
2:14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
If a woman wants to become the head, Jesus will not be able to become the Head, but the snake, so the marriage and congregation become unclean up to perdition. They just learn about the depths of Satan or the hell, not the ones of God or the Tabernacle.
Women may minister to God in all things except one, namely not teaching or having authority over men
Matthew 19:3
19:3. The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?" - The teaching of the Pharisees, namely the false teaching that permits the mixed-marriage and divorce-remarrying whatever the reason is. It destroys the marriage.
Revelation 17:3-5
17:3. So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
17:5. And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. - The teaching of Babylon, namely the false teaching that teaches how to look for prosperity and entertainment with any ways but without the purification. It destroys the faith.
- The teaching of Jezebel, namely the false teaching that permits women to teach or have authority over men, starting from marriage and congregation. It destroys the ordination.
- The body.
Job 20:25
20:25. It is drawn, and comes out of the body; Yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him;
Luke 13:10-13
13:10. Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
13:11. And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.
13:12. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, "Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity."
13:13. And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Being bent refers to the anxiety.
Proverbs 12:25
12:25. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.
The anxiety is about daily need and future, so one cannot prioritize God. He cannot become faithful and true.
God knows our future. We trust and commit ourselves to God.
We can be faithful and true. We minister to God with girding ourselves, so our life is well-organized and beautiful.
Being bent over in the synagogue for eighteen years means being marked with the triple six by the Antichrist. He has ministered to God but his life is not changed. He keeps the flesh and blood man with the eighteen attitudes of the flesh, so he is never satisfied, but experiences the suffering and impossibility. He cannot glorify God, but embarrasses and makes the heart of God grieved. Consequently, he is punished by God.
The way out is that Jesus teaches. The preaching of the teaching Word is the presence of God as the High Priest who has the activities in the congregation as follows:- Jesus sees us deeply up to the depths of the heart and mind, so nothing can be hidden.
Jesus looks at us with the merciful sight to help as well as show us our sin and condition that need to be finished.
All of problems in the world are caused by the sin. If something is not true, we will surely suffer. - Jesus calls individually, namely the Word shows us our sin and condition or points to our life, so we can realize about our sin and condition. It is the big opportunity to be helped by God.
We can regret and confess our sin to God and others. Do not sin anymore after being forgiven! The sin separates us with God, so He cannot help us. The sin also separates us with others, so we judge and hate one another. - Jesus touches. Every preaching of the Word is the touch of God's hand for us or the stretching of the powerful hand of God to touch us.
Out attitude is hearing and obeying the Word! Do not harden our heart! We stretch out our hand of faith to God.
The result is that we experience the power of purification and renewal from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones who glorify God.
Exodus 26:15,19
26:15. " And for the tabernacle you shall make the boards of acacia wood, standing upright.
26:19. "You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons.
We are like the boards that stand upright on the sockets of silver.
Psalm 12:6
12:6. The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.
It is the same as standing upright or holding fast the Word of God, so we are purified. We stand upright on Christ's sacrifice, so we experience peace.
Hebrews 12:14
12:14. Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
If we are holy and peaceful, we will be able to see God or worship Him.
As a result, the physical miracle also happens, namely the power to finish all of impossible problems. We experience the power of healing of the impossible disease. The suffering becomes the heavenly bliss.
- Jesus sees us deeply up to the depths of the heart and mind, so nothing can be hidden.
God blesses us.
