Matthew 27 refers to seven sprinklings of blood upon the Ark of Covenant.
Now it means the suffering experienced by Jesus up to His death on the cross to save, purify, and perfect us.
In Matthew 27, there are seven passages that refer to seven sprinklings of blood experienced by Jesus up to His death on the cross as follows:
Matthew 27:27-31
27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.
27:28 And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

6:5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man wasgreat in the earth, and thatevery intent of the thoughts of his heart wasonly evil continually.

Hebrews 13:17
13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
Words and deeds as thorns also make a grief of mind to the pastor. The consequence is obstructing the intercession prayer so the condition of the congregation is without the cover, and enemies will attack easily.
If one pierces God, parents, and pastor, the last consequence is piercing himself. It means living in curse ambience, sadness, bitterness, failures, and sins up to the peak of sins. This kind of life only waits to be burned by God.

In true water baptism, we are born from God, so we have good conscience. Good conscience will not be filled by twelve thorns, but by twelve loaves of breads (two rows of showbread, six in a row). The number sixty six denotes sixty six books in the Holy Bible. It means that good conscience will be filled by true teaching Word.
The signs of good conscience being filled by true teaching Word are as follows:

1 Peter 3:20-21
3:20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while theark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

In true water baptism, we are born from God, so we have good conscience. Good conscience will not be filled by twelve thorns, but by twelve loaves of breads (two rows of showbread, six in a row). The number sixty six denotes sixty six books in the Holy Bible. It means that good conscience will be filled by true teaching Word.
The signs of good conscience being filled by true teaching Word are as follows:
- Living in righteousness.
- Being obedient.
- Being well shepherded.
Well shepherded life is as entering the ark of Noah, so we have peaceful life. Being shepherded means entering the Holy Place in Tabernacle. There are three types of equipment inside, which denotes perseverance in three main services. Living in this world is difficult, but it will not be difficult if we enter the ark of Noah.
The practices are as follows:
- Glorifying God with our possessions, that is tithes and special offering.
Proverbs 3:9-10
3:9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
3:10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. - Glorifying God with our body, that is becoming God’s servant who is acceptable to Him.
1 Corinthians 6:20
6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
1 Corinthians 7:23
7:23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
An acceptable God’s servant is being faithful and fervent in spirit, and being faithful and obedient in ministry. - Having the fear of God, that is fear to do sins, so we can go up on the mountain of worship and see the shining face of God.
Revelation 14:7
14:7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
If we can see the shining face of God, our life renewal will also shine as rainbow in the middle of darkness. Renewal of life is started from not lying anymore.
If we become the rainbow of God, we will also experience the light of God’s glory (shekinah glory) brightening our life.
The example is the family of Bethany who loves God but they are let to experience dark cloud through the death of Lazarus. But there is rainbow of God’s glory.
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 deadfour 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 results are as follows:
- The rainbow of God’s glory is able to erase all impossibilities and solve all our problems.
The rainbow of God’s glory will also make everything good. - Jesus goes up on the mountain until His countenance shines to face epileptic child (it denotes unclean sin). It means the rainbow of God’s glory is able to reconcile our sins and restore broken marriage.
- Until we receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
1 Peter 5:3-4
5:3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;
5:4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
