Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 11:15-19 is about the sound of the seventh trumpet or the last one.

The seventh trumpet presents three things as follows:

  1. Verse 15-17 is about Jesus, who will come a second time on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King of all kings and the Heavenly Bridegroom for establishing or restoring the heavenly kingdom in the world, namely the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace (the upcoming Paradise) and the heavenly kingdom or the eternal New Jerusalem (it has been explained).

  2. Verse 18 is about God's wrath to the world(it has been explained).
  3. Verse 19 is about the ark of covenant that refers to the perfect church or the heavenly bride.

ad. 3.
Revelation 11:19
11:19. Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

Revelation 12:1
12:1. Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.

The ark of covenant in the temple of God in heaven is the same as a woman with the sun, moon, and stars, namely the heavenly bride or the church of God who appears as the light of the world like Jesus.

The heavenly bride will be evacuated to the wilderness, far from the eyes of the Antichrist who reigns over the world for three and a half years. Afterward, she is lifted up on the glorious clouds to meet Jesus who comes a second time, and enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb of God, the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace (the upcoming Paradise), and the kingdom of heaven forever.

While the ark of covenant is seen in the temple of God or the heavenly bride greets Jesus' second coming, the world experiences 'there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail' up to the hell forever.

Now, we are in the temple of God in the world, namely our body and the place where we minister to God.
The ark of covenant must also be placed in the temple of God in the world, namely the Bride Tidings.

Exodus 25:21-22
25:21. "You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you.
25:22. "And there I will meet with you, and
I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubimwhich are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

From the ark of covenant, God is speaking to the shepherd and congregation.
God's speaking means the Word whose secret is revealed through one verse that explains the other verses in the Holy Bible.

Exodus 20:18-21
20:18. Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.
20:19. Then they said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die."
20:20. And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin."
20:21. So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was.

'the thunderings, the lightning flashes' means that God speaks with terror.
Thus, the Bride Tidings is the true and awful teaching word, so the congregation has the fear of God or doing sin.

We must prioritize the preaching of the Bride Tidings every time we minister to God, so we experience the purification and the renewal of life up to perfection like Jesus. We are ready to greet Jesus when He comes a second time on the glorious clouds until we enter into the kingdom of heaven like the ark of covenant in the temple of God in heaven. We do not enter into terrible doomsday and hell.

When Jesus was in the world, He always taught every time He entered into the temple or houses.
Luke 13:10

13:10. Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

Luke 5:17-19
5:17. Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
5:18. Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.
5:19. And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.

Mark 4:1
4:1. And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea.

The important thing is not the place, but Jesus or the teaching word. If there is no teaching word, it will be in vain. On the contrary, if there is teaching word, there will be the glory.

How can we hear the word? We hear it by word, script, cassette, and internet.
2 Thessalonians 2:15

2:15. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

No matter the way we use, the important thing is the content that must be the true teaching one.
The revelation of the Word is the proof that Jesus is present and active in our ministry.

There are three kinds of the revelation of the word in Luke 13: 1-17 which are the same as the three activities of Jesus as follows:

  1. The preaching of the word is the answer for the sinners. It means that Jesus answers the sinners.
    Luke 13:1-5
    13:1. There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
    13:2. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
    13:3. "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
    13:4. "Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem?
    13:5. "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."


    Romans 3:23
    3:23. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

    Since Adam and Eve sinned and were cast out of Eden to enter into the world, all men in the world have sinned too. Consequently, they fall short of the glory of God (get naked).
    How great a man is, he is naked and he faces two things that cannot be answered as follows:

    • The curse of sin, namely being weary, heavy laden, laborious, and in tears, problem, fear, and stress.
    • The number eighteen ('those eighteen') refers to being marked with 666. It means that one keeps becoming the wild flesh and blood men like the beast which follows the lust of the flesh.
      Consequently, he becomes the same as the Antichrist who will enter into doomsday up to perdition.

    These things cannot be answered with the greatness of man including cleverness, position, et cetera.
    That is why we need the word which can give the answer.

    Romans 3:24-25
    3:24. being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
    3:25. whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,


    The blood Jesus which is poured on the cross is the only one answer for the curse and perdition of the sinners.
    The blood of Jesus is able to finish all of our sins. It is the same as finishing all of curses and punishments.
    How can we receive this answer? We receive it by hearing the revelation of the word.

    Our attitudes in the preaching of the word are as follows:

    • We willingly suffer in flesh to believe in Jesus and repent. It means the faith and repentance. In the Tabernacle, it refers to the Altar of Burnt Offerings in the Court.
      The fact found in the faith and repentance is that we believe in Jesus, so we willingly suffer in flesh to confess our sin to God and others. As a result, we experience the remission of sins. We are set free from curse and punishment.
      We also willingly suffer in flesh to stop sinning or repent. We are dead to sin.

    • We willingly suffer in flesh to live in righteousness by entering into the true water baptism (the Brazen Laver).
      The true water baptism means that one who has died to sin or repented must be buried in water with Jesus and come out or rise from water with Him to receive new life or heavenly one, namely life in righteousness.

      Living in righteousness means the path of truth or straight path. It is the place where Jesus as the Savior comes through to give the answer for the sinners.

      The fact found in Jesus' coming through is that our heart experiences peace. It is the same as receiving the answer.
      The matter of Jesus' coming through means that He remembers, cares, and struggles to make all things become easy and light. All things are finished in due time.

  2. The preaching of the word as the parable that is linked with the heavenly kingdom or Tabernacle.
    Luke 13:6-9
    13:6. He also spoke this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
    13:7. "Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?'
    13:8. "But he answered and said to him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
    13:9. 'And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.'"

    This is the parable of the vineyard which refers to the sheepfold.
    Jesus as the Great Shepherd gives the deeper explanation, so we understand about the true shepherding.

    The requirements of being shepherded are as follows:

    • One must be in the sheepfold. It refers to the perseverance in committing three kinds of main service to God as follows:

      1. The Golden Candlestick refers to the perseverance in committing the General Service.
      2. The Table of Showbread refers to the perseverance in committing the Bible Study Service with Holy Communion.
      3. The Golden Altar of Incense refers to the perseverance in committing the Prayer Service.

    • Hearing the voice of the shepherd.

    The parable of the word of God must be in line with the truth of the word of God, so it becomes faith in our life.
    If the parable is just about the physical thing, it will not become faith but knowledge which makes us arrogant.

    There are two positions of the fig tree or the church of God as follows:

    • The fig tree by the road. It means that one is not in the sheepfold. He is unfaithful as well as not persevering in the three kinds of main service to God.

      Consequently, having leaves only, but not bearing the fruit, it is cursed until it dries up from the roots.
      Be watchful! We have been saved as well as found the answer in Jesus, but if we do not understand about the shepherding, we will be cursed too. There are no defense and protection from God, so we will surely return to fleshly men who are naked and cursed up to perdition forever.

    • The fig tree in the vineyard. It means that one is in the sheepfold or has the perseverance in doing the three kinds of main service to God, so he has faith and perseverance. It is the same as entering into the Holy Place.
      In fact, there are those who have not yielded fruit although they are diligently shepherded.
      Why is it so? Because their roots are not good ('dig' is talking about the root).

      Luke 13:7-9

      13:7. "Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?'
      13:8. "But he answered and said to him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
      13:9. 'And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.'"

      The keeper of the vineyard refers to the shepherd.

      One of the roots that are not good is the one of wickedness or the love of money that makes one greedy and stingy like Judas Iscariot.
      Stinginess means that one cannot give.
      Greediness means that one steals the possession of others especially God's, namely the tithe and special offerings.
      Outside the shepherding, one is just cursed and destroyed. He will never yield fruit no matter how great he is.

    We learn about the shepherding from Moses.
    Exodus 3:1-5

    3:1. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
    3:2. And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him
    in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.
    3:3. Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."
    3:4. So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."
    3:5. Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."

    'a flame of fire from the midst of a bush' refers to the fire of the word, Holy Spirit, and love of God in the shepherding.
    In the sheepfold, we have faith and perseverance, so we experience the purification until we take our sandals off. It means experiencing the purification physically and spiritually. We live in holiness like a newborn baby.

    Living in holiness is the same as the path of holiness or the one of the cross. It is the straight path where Jesus as the Great Shepherd comes through. He cares and struggles for us to do the things as follows:

    • 'God called to him from the midst of the bush' means that God calls and equips us with the ministry and the gift of Holy Spirit to be used in the building of the perfect body of Christ. We have the tunic of many colors, so we can sprout.
      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,


    • 'the place where you stand is holy ground' means yielding fruits.
      We bring the holiness anywhere. We become the witness of God and it can be enjoyed by God and others.

    • Delivering us out of the paganism.
      Exodus 3:7-8
      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.


      One of the characteristics of paganism is stinginess and greediness.
      We are delivered out of the paganism, so we can testify that we are more blessed to give than to receive until we surrender our whole life to God.

      Acts 20:28,31,35
      20:28. "Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
      20:31. "Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
      20:35. "I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, '
      It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

      God is able to take care of our life abundantly although we are powerless in the middle of difficulties in the world until the Antichrist reigns over the world.

      We receive milk and honey.
      Honey refers to the power.
      Milk refers to the growth.
      It means that we become the strong servant of God who grows to the perfection.

    The shepherding, testimony, and perseverance are the great sights up to the peak in the book of Revelation 12: 1

  3. The preaching of the word in the true teaching one that is great and sharper than any two-edged sword.
    Luke 13:10-17
    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.
    13:14. But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, "There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day."
    13:15. The Lord then answered him and said, "Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?
    13:16. "So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound--think of it--for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?"
    13:17. And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

    The great word of God is able to make us perfect. A woman who is bent can receive it, but the ruler of the synagogue cannot.

    In every ministry, we must prioritize the true teaching word because without it the church of God will be bent for eighteen years.
    It means as follows:

    • The anxiety that makes one unfaithful, untrue, and unhappy.
      Proverbs 12:25
      12:25. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.


    • Dissatisfaction. It is the same as being bound by Satan.
      The fact is grumbling, lying, and looking for the satisfaction in the world or the worldly satisfaction is brought to the church.
      Luke 13:15-16
      13:15. The Lord then answered him and said, "Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?
      13:16. "So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound--think of it--for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?"


    • Being marked with 666. It means that his body, soul, and spirit are flesh. He does not experience the renewal of life but keeps becoming flesh and blood man who will be destroyed.
      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),
      3:5. having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!


    • One cannot raise himself up. It means that he cannot glorify God but makes the heart of God grieved, the heart of parents sore, and the heart of the shepherd lament.
      Luke 13:12-13
      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.

      The consequences are curse, sorrow, unfinished problem up to perdition forever.

    The way out is that Jesus teaches in the temple of God.
    Luke 13:10,12-13
    13:10. Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
    13:12. But when Jesus sawher, He calledher to Him and saidto 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.

    The time of hearing the true teaching word is the time of the activities of Jesusas the High Priest, King of kings, and Heavenly Bridegroom as follows:

    • 'saw' means that Jesus remembers all of our failures. Nothing is hidden.
      The fact found in it is that we realize our condition and sin.
    • 'called' means that Jesus calls when the true teaching word shows all of our condition and sin, so we realize it.
    • Jesus 'said'. It means that we confess all of our condition and sin, so He forgives our sins.
      Mark 2:9
      2:9. "Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Arise, take up your bed and walk'?


    • 'He laid His hands on her' means that Jesus struggles for touching us, so we can be made straight.
      It means as follows:

      1. Standing on two sockets of silver.
        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.

        Two sockets of silver refer to Christ's sacrifice (the redemption) and the true teaching word.

        Psalm 12:7

        12:7. The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.

        The fact of standing on two sockets of silver is saying yes if yes and no if no. It is the same as being honest, so we can glorify God.

      2. The wisdom of God.
        Proverbs 9:1
        9:1. Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars;

        James 3:13,17
        3:13. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.
        3:17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure
        (1), then peaceable(2), gentle(3), willing to yield(4), full of mercy and good fruits(5), without partiality(16)and without hypocrisy(7).

        Verse 17 refers to the seven pillars of wisdom that determines our success.
        Ecclesiastes 10:10
        10:10. If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

        Let's establish the seven pillars and the wisdom of God will make us successful. We will not fall.

    • The throne of glory in heaven. It means that we experience the renewal of life, namely obedience and patience.
      Psalm 103:19-20
      103:19. The LORD has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.
      103:20. Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.

      Excelling In strength refers to patience. We are patient in waiting the time of God.

      The spiritual and physical miracles happen. The impossible thing becomes possible.
      It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are changed to become as perfect as He is. We are worthy to greet His coming. We become the ark of covenant in the temple of God in heaven.

God blesses us.
