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

Revelation 12:3
12:3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.

[Revelation 12:3-18] is about the clear appearance of Satan or the dragon on the last days which is completed with the six activities as follows:

  1. [Revelation 12:4a] His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven.
  2. [Revelation 12:4b] Devouring.
  3. [Revelation 12:7] Fighting.
[Revelation 12:3-12] happens when Satan is still able to go up and down the heaven for accusing and doing the three activities.

  1. [Revelation 12:13] Persecuting or catching up fast.
  2. [Revelation 12:15] Causing the woman or the church of God to be carried away by the flood.
  3. [Revelation 12:17] Making war or persecuting.

[Revelation 12:13-18] happens when Satan has been defeated and cast to the earth or he has no place anymore in heaven forever. He uses the short time before he is chained and destroyed for pouring the great wrath to the earth through the three activities.

Ad. 4. Persecuting or catching up fast.
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.

Satan or the dragon persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. The woman refers to the church as the light of the world or the one who has the sun, moon, and stars. Satan pursues with the wings of abomination for destroying or beheading the church.

[Revelation 12:14] Praise the Lord that God gives the two wings of a great eagle for making the church fly to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the serpent that rules over the world for three and a half years. After that, the church is lifted up to the glorious clouds to meet Jesus who comes a second time on the glorious clouds. We are with Him forever.

Where can we get the two wings of a great eagle?
We can get it in the Holy Place, the sheepfold, or the perseverance in doing the three main services to God.

  1. The Table of Showbread, namely the perseverance in doing the Bible Study Service and the Holy Communion to get the fellowship with the Son of God in the true teaching Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
    As a result, the true teaching Word and the Holy Communion are ingrained in our life to sanctify and redeem us from sins up to the perfect redemption (the moon under the feet).

  2. The Golden Candlestick or the perseverance in doing the General Service to get the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the anointing and gifts.
    As a result, Holy Spirit makes us faithful and fervent in spirit. He gives us the increasing gifts up to the perfection (the garland of twelve stars).

  3. The Golden Altar of Incense or the perseverance in doing the Prayer Service to get the fellowship with Father God in His love.
    As a result, the love is increasing up to the perfection (the clothes of the sun).

Thus, in the sheepfold or perseverance in doing the three main services to God, the church appears as the light of the world or the woman with the sun, moon, and stars.

Revelation 12:1,6,14
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.
12:6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
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.

If the light increases, the wings will be bigger. It continues until being the light of the world and the two wings of a great eagle have been big enough for making us fly to the wilderness, far away from the presence of the serpent that rules over the world for three and a half years. The two wings of a great eagle also lift us up to the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time. We enter the Paradise and the everlasting New Jerusalem.

The process of the growth of the two wings of a great eagle is as follows:

  1. We must eat.
    Eating the true teaching Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit is the same as hearing and obeying the true teaching Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit. There are said Urim and Thummim on the breast of the High Priest [Hebrews 4:12-13]. We get the increasing sanctification. It begins from the heart and mind until there is no root or source of sin, namely the desires of evil, uncleanness, and bitterness anymore in the heart and mind.

    Acts 5:1-9
    5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.
    5:2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles' feet.
    5:3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?
    5:4 "While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
    5:5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.
    5:6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
    5:7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
    5:8 And Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?" She said, "Yes, for so much."
    5:9 Then Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."


    Ananias and Sapphira rejected the sanctification of the Urim and Thummim or kept the lust or love of money, so they became stingy (not being able to give) and greedy (stealing the possession of God, namely the tithes and offerings).
    Consequently, they died. Formerly, they died physically, now, there will be the spiritual death, especially living in sins up to the everlasting perdition.

    Nevertheless, if we hear and obey the true teaching Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit as well as receive the work of the Urim and Thummim, we will be set free from the lust or love of money, so we can live in holiness and love one another. The fact found in it is feeling more blessed to give than to receive.

    Acts 20:33,35
    20:33 "I have coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel.
    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.'"

    It begins from returning the possession of God or the tithes and offerings and giving to the work of God and others who are in need.

    If the heart is holy and loving one another, the wings will be bigger and stronger until we do not stumble in words, but we are perfect or without blemish. That is the church with the sun, moon, and stars or the light of the world. There is no darkness at all. She will be given the two wings of a great eagle that are able to evacuate her to the wilderness.

  2. We must eat the carcass, the sacrifice of Christ, or the Holy Communion together with the sanctification by the sword of the Word or the Urim and Thummim.
    Matthew 24:28
    24:28 "For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

    It is useful for making us strong and courageous. It means that we are not disappointed and hopeless. We do not leave God. We are not separated from Him. We do not go back regardless of anything we must face. We must keep faithful and fervent in spirit in the service and ministry to God and marriage. We do not do evil things, but the good ones, regardless of anything we must face until we can repay good for evil.

    The growth of the wings to be big and strong is in the strong and courageous heart as well as the faithful and good one.

    Matthew 25:21
    25:21 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

    The results are as follows:

    • We get the heavenly joy which cannot be influenced by the condition of the world. We have the strong wings.
    • We are made ruler over many things, namely having the bigger wings of the great eagle.

  3. We must get the test or the sprinkling of blood in all aspects.
    Deuteronomy 32:11-12
    32:11 As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings,
    32:12 So the LORD alone led him, And there was no foreign god with him.

    The eagles make nest on the top of mountains. After feeding the young many times, the eagle will come to stir up the nest and hover over its young until the young falls and starts to learn how to fly by itself. Nevertheless, the eagle will spread out its wings and take the young up and carry the young on its wings when the wings of the young are not big or strong enough. Then, the young is returned to the nest for being given the food anymore until someday the young can pass the test and be able to fly by its own wings of great eagle.

    The growth of the wings until passing the test is until there is no idol, namely we have the peaceful heart or the one which is silent and quiet.
    Being silent means doing the introspection in our life by the sharpness of the sword of the Word. Finding sin, we must confess it to God and others. After being forgiven, do not repeat the sin! We must repent until there is no hidden sin or there is no other god. Finding no sin, we must not plead ourselves. We only keep silent and surrender to God or there is no other god.
    Being quiet means that we control ourselves, so we do not hope others, but God only and we can only pray ad worship God. There is no other god.

    Thus, the growth of the wings to be strong and big is through the test. We have the peaceful heart or become silent and quiet. The more we are quiet and silent or the more we pray and worship God, the wings will be bigger and stronger up to the maximum size for evacuating us to the wilderness and lift us up to the glorious clouds.

In conclusion, the growth of the two wings of a great eagle happens through keeping the heart which is holy and loving one another, the one which is strong and courageous or faithful and good, and the one which is peaceful or silent and quiet in facing all things.

The functions of the two wings of a great eagle or the embrace of God's merciful hands are as follows:

  1. Acts 27:20,22,33-34
    27:20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.
    27:22 "And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
    27:33 And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.
    27:34 "Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you."


    Paul refers to men, husbands, and pastors who are like the dim sun which does not rise anymore in the midst of storm and waves. It means that there is no hope in facing the impossibilities.
    Although the storm comes, our wings will be bigger if we are able to eat and a piece of our hair will not vanish away. We must keep the heart which is holy and loving one another, the one which is strong and courageous or faithful and good, as well as the one which is peaceful or silent and quiet. As a result, God gives us the two wings of a great eagle. He will pour out His two merciful hands to us, so a piece of hair will not vanish away.

    The stretched two hands of God until a piece of hair does not vanish away mean as follows:

    • Although we are only like a piece of hair that is powerless and not precious or we have nothing, God will pay attention to, care for us deeply, and protect us from disaster, danger, and the Antichrist if we keep the good conscience, so we are saved.

    • We are preserved miraculously and abundantly until we can give thanks and become blessings although we are small and powerless in the midst of the crises in the world until the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world for three and a half years.

    • The stretched merciful hands of God are able to help us and finish the impossible problems in time of need.
    • Being complete in the perfect unity. It means that the ones who have died in the Lord will be resurrected in the body of glory and we who have still lived until Jesus comes will be changed to be in the body of glory. Both of them will be one perfect body of Christ for being worthy to be lifted up on the glorious clouds by the power of the two wings of a great eagle for welcoming Jesus' second coming and entering the everlasting New Jerusalem.

  2. The youth must face the storm and waves like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego who had to face the burning furnace which had been heated seven times more than the usual or impossible things, destroyed future life, up to the Antichrist or perdition.
    We must keep our heart to be holy and loving one another, faithful and good, and peaceful or silent and quiet. We must repent and pray.

    Daniel 3:27
    3:27 And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king's counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singednor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.

    'the hair of their head was not singed' means that God pays attention to, cares for, and stretches His hands for finishing the impossible problem to us who are small and powerless. We have the beautiful and successful future life and we cannot be touched by the Antichrist, but we are evacuated to the wilderness. We do not perish, but we are lifted up on the glorious clouds.

    2 Thessalonians 1:5-7
    1:5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;
    1:6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you,
    1:7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

    Only ones who have been in the flame of fire can endure when Jesus comes with the flame of fire of the glory.

  3. Luke 7:36-38
    7:36 Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.
    7:37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
    7:38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

    Woman or mother is unclean because of her own sins up to the peak, namely the ones concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage. Committing sins means the disobedience. The consequence is being stoned and the hair's being cut [1 Corinthians 11]. It means that there is no crown anymore, but the everlasting perdition.
    Nevertheless, there will be the fragrance if she willingly eats the Word, keeps the heart, confesses the sins, repents, and prays.

    A piece of hair will not be cut or she will not be bald. God pays attention and stretches His hands to us for restoring the rotten things to be fragrant. We are used by God as His witness until we become the light of the world. We get the two wings of a great eagle for being evacuated to the wilderness and lifted up when Jesus comes a second time on the glorious clouds.

God blesses you.
