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

Revelation 16:1-21 refers to the seven plagues or last bowls of God's wrath.

For the world, it refers to the news of judgment, but for us, it refers to the news of hope which we will reach soon.

Revelation 15:8
15:8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

The sooner the judgment of God is poured, the sooner we enter the everlasting heavenly kingdom.

Romans 14:17-18
14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
14:18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.


Although we are still living in the world, we have already been able to feel the atmosphere of the heavenly kingdom in the world as follows:

  •  Righteousness = being led by the true teaching Word = the Table of Showbread or the perseverance in committing the Bible Study Service with Holy Communion.
  • Joy in the Holy Spirit = the Golden Candlestick or the perseverance in committing the General Service.
  • Peace = the heart is being controlled by the love of God = the Golden Altar of incense or the perseverance in committing the Prayer Service.

Thus, we can get the atmosphere of heaven in the world in the sheepfold or the perseverance in committing the three main services to God.

As a result, the service and ministry to God must be acceptable before Him and approved by men.

Revelation 16:3
16:3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

The second bowl is poured on the seas and it becomes blood as of a dead man. It means the spiritual death or having no fervency anymore in the spiritual things, so one lives in sins up to the peak up to the second death or perdition in the hell forever.

Who is the sea that becomes blood?

  1. The wicked, evil, or sinful whose life has neither rest nor peace, but weariness, heavy burdens, toil, and tears.
    Isaiah 57:20-21
    57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
    57:21 "There is no peace," Says my God,"for the wicked."


  2. The wicked who borrows and does not repay.
    Psalm 37:21
    37:21 The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.

    On the contrary, the righteous likes lending.

  3. The wicked or evil Gentiles who are like the chaff.
    Isaiah 17:12-13
    17:12 Woe to the multitude of many people Who make a noise like the roar of the seas, And to the rushing of nations That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
    17:13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters; But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.


    The chaff refers to the arrogant who only magnifies the skin or physical things. He is only satisfied by the physical things and does not want to be filled with the true teaching Word or the voice of the trumpet as follows:

    • He cannot stand in the true service and ministry to God and marriage because of keeping the sins up to the peak.
      Psalm 1:4-5
      1:4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
      1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.


    • Never experiencing the renewal of life.
      Jeremiah 13:23-24
      13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
      13:24 "Therefore I will scatter them like stubble That passes away by the wind of the wilderness.


      He keeps the fleshly man with the eighteen characteristics of the flesh [2 Timothy 3:1-5], being stamped with the triple six and being the same as the Antichrist.

    The consequences of being the chaff are as follows:

    • The sea becomes blood or the spiritual death. One is not fervent anymore in committing the spiritual things, but only living in sins up to the peak.
    • The wicked will be destroyed in the twinkling of an eye when Jesus comes a second time.
      Isaiah 29:5-6

      29:5 "Moreover the multitude of your foes Shall be like fine dust, And the multitude of the terrible ones Like chaff that passes away; Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.
      29:6 You will be punished by the LORD of hosts With thunder and earthquake and great noise, With storm and tempest And the flame of devouring fire.


The right attitude is that we must humble ourselves as low as possible for always being filled with the true teaching word or the voice of the trumpet. We must be lowly in heart for hearing and obeying the true teaching Word in the true and good shepherding.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--
15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


Being alive or dead is not important because it is God's business and mercy.

Being dead, one gets the mercy of God because of being set free from the Antichrist. Being alive, one gets the mercy of God also because there are tasks from Him that must be finished.

The important thing is that we must be filled by the teaching Word as long as we are alive to get the renewal of life from the fleshly men to the spiritual ones. It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are renewed in the twinkling of an eye to be the one perfect body of Christ to welcome Jesus'second coming on the glorious clouds.

What must be changed in the twinkling of an eye?

  1. Lying becomes honesty.
    Proverbs 12:19
    12:19 The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.


  2. Ramified or doubtful heart becomes believing and obeying the true teaching Word or the Lord Himself.
    1 Kings 18:21,45
    18:21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said,"How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him."But the people answered him not a word.
    18:45 Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.

    Being honest and obedient, there is restoration of the house of prayer or the Golden Altar of Incense.

    1 Kings 18:38-39
    18:38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.
    18:39 Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said,"The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!"


  3. Neither being patient nor persevering or only demanding the Lord can be changed into patience and perseverance as well as bowing down at Jesus'feet much more.
    1 Kings 18:41-45
    18:41 Then Elijah said to Ahab,"Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain."
    18:42 So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,
    18:43 and said to his servant,"Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked, and said,"There is nothing." And seven times he said,"Go again."
    18:44 Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said,"There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!"So he said, "Go up, say to Ahab,'Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.'"
    18:45 Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.


    We feel that we are only the clay or we are nothing and unable. We only worship and cry out the name of Jesus as well as stretch out our hands to God until the time of the twinkling of an eye comes.

    As a result, God will pay attention to us, care, and struggle for stretching the nail-pierced hands (the cloud which is as small as a man's hand) and performing the miracles in the twinkling of an eye.

John 21:1,3,7
21:1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:
21:3 Simon Peter said to them,"I am going fishing."They said to him, "We are going with you also."They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,"It is the Lord!"Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.


Peter was dishonest and disobedient. It means ruining the altar. In consequence, he did not catch anything. It means failure and nakedness. Continuing in it, one will perish in the twinkling of an eye.

John 21:5-6
21:5 Then Jesus said to them,"Children, have you any food?" They answered Him,"No."
21:6 And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some."So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.


Honesty and obedience refer to repairing the altar. As a result, there is power of creation from nothing to something. There is also the power of protection and preservation from God in the midst of crises on the last days. The impossible can be made possible. All impossible problems are solved by God.

The condition of failure was changed into putting on the garment. It means being able to confess sins. After being forgiven, do not repeat the sin! As a result, there is the garment of salvation added with the one of holiness or ministry (the tunic of many colors).

Mark 7:27-30
7:27 But Jesus said to her,"Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."
7:28 And she answered and said to Him,"Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."
7:29 Then He said to her,"For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
7:30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.


The daughter of the woman of Canaan (the Gentiles) was demon-possessed because her tongue was like the dog's licking the vomit. It refers to the destroyed marriage and children, impossible problems, and the condition without any rest or peace.

It is changed to be the tongue which licks the crumbs. The words are in line with the Word and the miracle happens. The marriage and children are restored to be righteous, holy, and one. There is peace and all things become easy and light.

John 11:39-40
11:39 Jesus said,"Take away the stone."Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him,"Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
11:40 Jesus said to her,"Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"


The youth faces Lazarus who had died for four days, namely the rottenness, destruction, and so on. Let us confess to God.
The dead can be made alive. The failure can be changed into success. The rotten can be made fragrant. The destroyed things can be made good. The impossible can be made possible.

It continues until we are perfected to be lifted up on the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time. We shout for joy, saying"Alleluia"and become the great house of prayer and enter the New Jerusalem or the everlasting house of prayer.

God blesses you.
