28:1. Now after the Sabbath, as the first dayof the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
28:2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.
The light of glory shines the dark heart so there is renewal from carnal man to become spiritual man as an angel or as Jesus is.
What must be renewed?
We are discussing the third.
The feeling of being afraid must be renewed. In the last days, fear is main killer of our physical and spiritual life.
The fear to see the glory of Jesus is an awful fear, more than any other fear. Everything we have in this world will have no meaning in Jesus’ second coming. Life who is afraid to see the glory of Jesus will be left in the world and experience the wrath of God up to everlasting perdition in the hell.
We must use the longsuffering of God to be able to see the glory of God, so we will not be afraid to welcome Jesus’ second coming in glory.
Where can we see the glory of God?

1:13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands Onelike the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
In the sheepfold, we can see Jesus who comes for the first time (the gospel of salvation) and Jesus who will come for the second time in glory (the true teaching Word).
The steps to see Jesus in glory are as follows.
God blesses us.

We are discussing the third.
The feeling of being afraid must be renewed. In the last days, fear is main killer of our physical and spiritual life.
- Fear because of sins.
- Fear because of wind and waves in the middle of this world that is as the sea.
- Fear to see the glory of Jesus as King of kings and Heavenly Bridegroom in His second coming.
Revelation 6:15-17
6:15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
6:16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

Revelation 1:10,12-13
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
1:12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
1:13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands Onelike the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
In the sheepfold, we can see Jesus who comes for the first time (the gospel of salvation) and Jesus who will come for the second time in glory (the true teaching Word).
The steps to see Jesus in glory are as follows.
- Seeing the mouth of Jesus.
Revelation 1:16
1:16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance waslike the sun shining in its strength.
Out the mouth of Jesus goes a sharp two-edged sword.
Seeing the mouth of Jesus means experiencing sanctification by the work of the Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword. It starts with the purification of the heart, which is the store of sins.
Matthew 15:19
15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
Our heart must be purified from seven desires of sin that will lead us to perfection in evil and uncleanness.
The results are as follows.- Out of our heart springs the issues of life, so we experience true satisfaction from the Heaven and we do not dry spiritually.
Proverbs 4:23
4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. - If our heart is purified, our whole life will be purified.
Proverbs 4:24-27
4:24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you.
4:25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.
4:26 Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.
4:27 Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.
Our mouth must be purified so we only say good and right words.
Our outlook must be purified so we only see God and are willing to sacrifice carnal things to get the spiritual ones. When we only look for carnal things, maybe we can get those, but later all of them will be destroyed.
The path of our life must also be purified until we become perfect as Jesus is.
- Out of our heart springs the issues of life, so we experience true satisfaction from the Heaven and we do not dry spiritually.
- Seeing the eyes of Jesus.
Revelation 1:14
1:14 His head and hair werewhite like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;
The eyes of Jesus are like a flame of fire.
Seeing the eyes of Jesus means experiencing the work of Holy Spirit so we are faithful and fervent in spirit in ministering God.
Romans 12:11
12:11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
It is not our age that decides our faithfulness and fervency in spirit in ministering God, but whether we see the eyes of Jesus or not. If we see another things, we will lag in diligence, be unfaithful and not fervent in spirit.
Romans 1:27
1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
If one does not have faithfulness and fervency in spirit in doing the ministry (spiritual passion), he will flare up in physical lust.
Hebrews 1:7
1:7 And of the angels He says:“Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.”
The servant of God who is holy, faithful, and fervent in spirit is like a flame of fire. It means being the apple of God’s eyes. We will be cared and protected, until we belong to God. Antichrist and the sins of Babylon will not be able to touch us. - Seeing the countenance of Jesus that is like the sun shining in its strength.
Revelation 1:16
1:16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance waslike the sun shining in its strength.
It means we are worshiping God. We must love and have pleasure to worship Him. If we are still felt forced to worship Him, it means we have not seen the mouth and the eyes of Jesus. We minister God just as an obligation.
But if there is the Word and Holy Spirit, we will love to worship Him and see His shining countenance.
The results are as follows.- We get peaceful light from His countenance, that makes our heart peaceful and everything becomes easy and light.
Numbers 6:26
6:26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’ - We get graceful and merciful light from His countenance.
Numbers 6:25
6:25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;
Jesus as the Great Shepherd helps and solves all our problems right in His time. - We get glorious light from His countenance. It will renew us from carnal man to become spiritual one. Our face will shine and everything will be beautiful in His time, up to the same shining and beauty with Him in His second coming.
When a woman who does adultery is brought to the temple of God, all people are going to stone her, but Jesus is willing to shine her countenance. God wants to shine all afraid and worry countenances, or bad and unclean countenances.
- We get peaceful light from His countenance, that makes our heart peaceful and everything becomes easy and light.
God blesses us.
