Peace and grace in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The whole Matthew 27 refers to the seven sprinklings of blood upon the Ark of the Covenant. It means the suffering Jesus experiences until He dies on the cross to save, sanctify, and perfect us.

In Matthew 27 there are seven passages that refer to the seven sufferings of Jesus.
Matthew 27:51-56 is about the fifth passage, namely the miracles that happen when Jesus dies.

Matthew 27:51-53
27:51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
27:52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
27:53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.


The third miracle is the graves are opened and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep are raised and come out of the graves and go into the holy city.
It means that Jesus’ death delivers us from the death, so we can live in holiness and become the witness of God.

Revelation 20:5-6
20:5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

The prophecy that will happen is as follows.

  • The first resurrection when Jesus comes a second time. Ones who experience it will enter the kingdom of peace a thousand years.
  • The second resurrection after the kingdom of peace a thousand years. Ones who experience it will enter the hell forever.

There will be a separation between the sons or servants of God when Jesus comes a second time.

There are three kinds of separation the sons or servants of God will experience as follows.

  1. The separation because of the difference in the life end.
    It is a temporary separation.
    1 Corinthians 15:51
    15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed––

    There are two kinds of life end of the servants or sons of God as follows.

    • Bodily death.
    • Being alive until Jesus comes a second time.

    Both of them, the dead and the alive get the mercy and determination of God. Death or life is not important. The important thing is that we get the sanctification and life renewal from carnal man to spiritual one as Jesus is when we are still alive.

    Ephesians 5:25-27
    5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
    5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
    5:27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.


    The process of getting the sanctification and life renewal is as follows.

    • True water baptism.
      Romans 6:2-4
      6:2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
      6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
      6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.


      Different way of water baptism results is everlasting separation.

      The true water baptism is that the ones who have been dead to sin must be buried in water together with Jesus and raise in new life or heavenly one.

      Romans 6:18
      6:18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

      We get the new life through being the servants of righteousness as follows.

      • Living in righteousness.
      • Being the priests and kings or the faithful and true servants of God who are also faithful and fervent in spirit.

    • Being dived in the rain water of the true teaching Word or the Word of God that is sharper than any two-edged sword.
      We are sanctified and renewed by the true teaching Word, beginning from our heart or the source of our spiritual life. If our heart is sanctified, our whole life will be sanctified also.

      Matthew 15:19
      15:19 "For out of the heart proceed (1)evil thoughts, (2)murders,(3) adulteries, (4)fornications,(5) thefts, (6)false witness, (7)blasphemies.

      If our heart is sanctified from the seven things, it will be filled by Holy Spirit with His seven manifestations up to the peak, namely the fear of the Lord.

      Isaiah 11:1-2
      11:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
      11:2 (1)The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, (2)The Spirit of wisdom and (3) understanding,(4) The Spirit of counsel and(5) might, (6)The Spirit of knowledge and of (7)the fear of the LORD.

      Proverbs 8:13
      8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.

      The death or life of our body in the world is not our concerning. Our concerning is being the servants of the Lord who have the fear of God, hate sins up to the lie, and do not stumble in word in our lifetime.

      James 3:2
      3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.


  2. The separation happens when antichrist reigns over the world for the ones who are alive when Jesus comes a second time.
    There will be two groups as follows.

    • The group of the sons or servants of God who are fled to the wilderness with the two wings of a great eagle, so antichrist cannot see and touch. They are protected and preserved directly by God for three years and half.

      Revelation 12:13-14
      12:13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
      12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

      We will be preserved by the true teaching Word and Holy Communion. Therefore, Bible Study Service and Holy Communion are very important as our exercise of fleeing to the wilderness.

      Revelation 11:1-2
      11:1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.
      11:2 "But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty–two months.


      The group of the servants or sons of God who will be fled has fulfilled the measurement of worship prayer, namely obedience until the flesh does not speak anymore.

    • The group of the servants or son of God who are left when antichrist reigns over the world for three years and half. They are the servants or sons of God who do not have the golden altar of incense.

      Revelation 12:17
      12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

      Not having the golden altar of incense means as follows.

      • Not being faithful in worshiping God or not being willing to worship Him or worshiping Him because of being forced.
      • Worshiping God but not fulfilling the measurement, so the flesh still speaks.

        Numbers 14:29
        14:29 'The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

        Murmuring, especially because of the true teaching Word, is as the voice of the beast which will perish. The disobedience is also the voice of flesh.

      Revelation 11:2
      11:2 "But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty–two months.

      This group will enter the persecution of antichrist up to the cutting of head to kill the voice of the flesh. We will be beheaded if now we do not want to worship God.

      There are two possibilities when antichrist reigns over the world as follows.

      • Enduring and keeping on worshiping God, one is beheaded but he will be resurrected in glorious body when Jesus comes a second time.
      • A big part of the group of the servants or son of God who are left when antichrist reigns over the world will deny Jesus and worship antichrist. Consequently, they perish and experience eternal separation.

    We have to force our flesh to worship God when we are alive in the world until we can fulfill the measurement, namely obedience until our flesh does not speak anymore and we always give thanks whatever may happen in our life.

  3. The separation when Jesus comes a second time or everlasting separation.

    Revelation 20:5-6
    20:5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
    20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.


    There are two kinds of resurrection as follows.

    • The first resurrection when Jesus comes a second time.
      The sons or servants of God who have been dead and experienced the first resurrection will not enter the second death but become the priests and kings in the kingdom of peace a thousand years and New Jerusalem.

      Who will enter the kingdom of peace a thousand years and New Jerusalem?

      • The sons or servants of God who have the sanctification and life renewal in their lifetime.
      • The sons or servants of God who have been dead because of Jesus, beginning from the days of Abel to these days together with the ones who keep on worshiping God in the days of antichrist’s reigning over the world.

      • The sons or servants of God who are still alive who are fled to the wilderness for three years and half. They experience the sanctification and life renewal in their lifetime, so they can worship God until the flesh does not speak anymore.

      The dead and alive will become one in glorious body to be lifted up on glorious clouds to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God, the kingdom of peace a thousand years, and New Jerusalem forever.

    • The second resurrection after the kingdom of peace a thousand years.
      Revelation 20:5
      20:5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

      Ones who will experience the second resurrection are the rest of the dead who do not live in the first resurrection as follows.

      • Ones who do not believe in Jesus.
      • The sons or servants of God who do not want to be sanctified and renewed in their lifetime until they reject the true water baptism and teaching Word.
      • The sons or servants of God who worship antichrist.

      They will be resurrected after a thousand years in the second resurrection to enter the second death in hell together with antichrist, false prophets, and Satan forever.

Thus, ones who are in the same house, bed, church, desk, et cetera will have different destiny if their way of life is different. Ones who obey the Word will enter the heaven but the others who mock it will enter hell forever.
We have to make efforts to enter the kingdom of peace a thousand years from now on, so we will not be separated one another.

Matthew 6:9-10
6:9 "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
6:10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.


The effort of Jesus is in the verse “On earth as it is in heaven.“
Meaning we have to experience the life in Paradise while we are alive in the world.

It begins from the food of Paradise.

Matthew 6:11
6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

Genesis 2:8-9
2:8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
2:9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.


There are three kinds of tree in the paradise as follows.

  1. The tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food man can freely eat, referring to the anointing of Holy Spirit.
    It denotes to the Word of God we can consume in General Service, referring to Golden Candlestick of Tabernacle.

    Psalm 119:105
    119:105 NUN. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

    The Word becomes our lamp, so we will not stumble or fall in sin.
    It becomes the light to give us right direction so we will not go astray in our journey to New Jerusalem.

  2. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
    It refers to the Word of God we can consume in Bible Study Service with Holy Communion or the Table of Showbread of Tabernacle.

    It gives us deeper knowledge about Jesus, so we can know Him obviously. Moreover, we can know ourselves with all our weaknesses obviously, so we can confess our sins and be forgiven. Not only that, we can know Satan with all his tricks, so we will not be fooled.

    As a result, our faith becomes firmer until we have brake and do not sin.

  3. The tree of life.
    It refers to the Word of God we can consume in Prayer Service or the Golden Altar of Incense of Tabernacle.

    The Word of God or the characteristic of Jesus becomes our characteristic, especially the obedience until our flesh does not speak anymore.

Thus, the food in Paradise can be found in the sheepfold or perseverance in doing three main services to the Lord. We have to do it in our lifetime. Going outside of Paradise, we will become as Adam and Eve who live in curse.

We are in the guidance of God in the sheepfold as follows.

  1. To guide us inside the sheepfold, so we can be firm in it, and outside (to other sheepfold).
    John 10:3,16
    10:3 "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
    10:16 "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
    To guide us outside the sheepfold means we are employed in the revival of Holy Spirit at the latter rain or building the body of Christ. He is our Head who is responsible to our life.

  2. To guide us to living fountains of waters.
    Revelation 7:17
    7:17 "for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

    Meaning the hand of Great Shepherd is able to preserve or life physically and spiritually up to the eternal life.

    Proverbs 30:8-9
    30:8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches––Feed me with the food allotted to me;
    30:9 Lest I be full and deny You, And say, "Who is the LORD?" Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.


    Physically, He preserves our life until we do not lack anything.
    Spiritually, we are guided to live in righteousness and holiness up to the perfection and we get heavenly joy.

  3. To guide us to the last shepherding where there is no tear, namely New Jerusalem.
    Revelation 7:17
    7:17 "for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

    The requirement is continuous life renewal until we are perfect as Jesus is. Every time we are renewed, our tears are being wiped away and we have more beautiful life. The last renewal happens when we become as glorious as Jesus is and the most beautiful one we have in New Jerusalem where there is no tear.

God blesses you.
