To Coincide with Priests and Priests To Be Upgrading Service IV

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

Revelation 7 is divided into two parts as follows:

  1. Revelation 7:1-8, The core of the Bride of God or the house of Israel.
  2. Revelation 7:9-17, The gentiles to complete the Bride of God.

Both of them become one perfect body of Christ.

Revelation 7:1
7:1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree..

It begins from the first verse which tells about the wind.
The spiritual meanings of the wind are as follows:

  1. The wind refers to newborn man by the water and Holy Spirit baptism who lives in righteous, makes himself of no reputation, and becomes obedient.
    John 3:5-8
    3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
    3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
    3:7 "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
    3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."


  2. The wind refers to the minister and the servant of God.
    Psalms 104:4a
    104:4 Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.

So, the wind refers to the priest or the servant and the minister of God who live in righteousness, make themselves of no reputation, and become obedient to God, so they become the messenger of God.

The meanings of the blowing wind are as follows:

  1. The blowing wind is the priest or the minister and the servant of God who are sent by Him to blow the fragrance and freshness of Christ wherever they are sent or wherever He wants through the gospel word to bring the sinful man to believe God and be saved. It is also through the Bride Tidings or the true teaching word which is sharper than any two-edged sword to choose men who have been saved to be sanctified until being as perfect as Him or the heavenly bride.

  2. The blowing wind refers to the priest or the servant and the minister of God who are sent to the field of God, namely being used in edifying the perfect body of Christ, the perfect church, or the heavenly bride who is ready to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds.

So, the heavenly bride is the priest or the servant and the minister of God who are used by Him to blow the fragrance of Christ in the edifying of the perfect body of Christ. It begins from the marriage, shepherding, and inter-shepherding pen until the house of Israel and the Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ who is ready to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds.

One who does not want to work at the field of God until leaving it will work at the field of swine for sure.
The field of swine or the false church refers to the bride of Satan who is perfect in wickedness, uncleanness, and bitterness until perishing forever.

The example of the wind from heaven is Jesus.
John 20:21-23
20:21 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
20:23 "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."


There are three miraculous things that we receive in the ministry as follows:

  1. The great trust and grace of God for us, so we can work in His field.
    The trust and grace of God cost Jesus' sacrifice on the cross or His blood that cannot be bought or replaced by anything.

  2. The great authority from God to forgive the sins of other people, so ours will be forgiven also.
    Especially the duty of the shepherd or the pastor is ascending the intercession prayer for the salvation of soul of the congregation. When one confesses his sin, the pastor has a duty to pray for him. After being forgiven, we do not do sin anymore and the blood of Jesus forgives and covers it. We cannot be condemned anymore. A pastor or priest should be careful so that he does not curse the congregation.

  3. The great power or the power of Holy Spirit that cannot be hindered or matched with anyone like the dry bone which is resurrected to be the great army.

John 4:35-36
4:35 "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
4:36 "And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

The work time or the ministry time is four months.
Four times thirty days equals to one hundred and twenty days. One day is counted one year.

Numbers 14:34
14:34 'According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year, namely forty years, and you shall know My rejection.

So, one hundred and twenty days refer to one hundred and twenty years or the year of Jubilee.
A year of Jubilee is fifty years.
One hundred and twenty years of Jubilee multiplied with fifty equals to six thousand years. It is the work time.

In the map of age, the six thousand years can be divided into three parts as follows:

  1. The early age or the age of Father God. It is counted from Adam to Abraham for two thousand years.
  2. The middle age or the age of Son of God. It is counted from Abraham to the first coming of Jesus to die on the cross for two thousand years.
  3. The last age or the age of Holy Spirit God. It is counted from the first coming of Jesus to the second one on the glorious clouds for two thousand years.

Now, we are in 2018. It means that the six thousand years have passed, but Jesus has not come yet. It is the lengthening of the patience of God which is too short if it is compared to the real time. It is the right time to work on the field of God. Do not delay it because the time is short.

2 Peter 3:9
3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

God still has the longsuffering towards us through Jesus has not come for the second time yet and we are given long age and health or the sinful man has not been condemned yet. The shepherding is important because there is the intercession prayer of a shepherd to delay the judgment of God or wait the congregation to repent.

The things that we must do in the longsuffering of God are as:

  1. Repenting so that we do not perish [2 Peter 3:9]
    Romans 2:4-5
    2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
    2:5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.

    So, our main aim to live in the world is to repent, stop sinning, die to sin, and repent to God. We begin to repent from lie and hatred.

    Jeremiah 9:5-6
    9:5 Everyone will deceive his neighbor, And will not speak the truth; They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
    9:6 Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse to know Me," says the LORD.

    Lie which is stacked makes one hard-hearted or keep the sins and lies, so he does not want to repent until someday he cannot repent, but becomes the same as Satan.
    Stacking lie means stacking the wrath of God until perdition forever.

    All things that we have done in the world without repentance are useless. It means that we are stacking the wrath of God until perdition forever.

    Nowadays, do not be hard-hearted, but be gentle. Being gentle means using the longsuffering of God to repent and confess the sins to God and other people. After being forgiven, do not do the sins anymore.
    Living in righteousness means stacking the righteousness and the grace of God until we can be as righteous as Jesus is. After we are righteous, other things become His responsibility. He blesses all of us.

    Proverbs 10:2-3
    10:2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, But righteousness delivers from death.
    10:3 The LORD will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He casts away the desire of the wicked.

    As a result we are saved and blessed by God to our descendants until we have the eternal life.

  2. Sowing and reaping in the field of God.
    There are two kinds of sowing and reaping as follows:

    1. Sowing and reaping the seed of the word.
      The requirements are as follows:

      • The seed must be righteous. It refers to the true teaching word or a verse explains the other verses in the Bible.
      • The land must be good. It refers to the gentle heart.
        In the anointing of Holy Spirit, we can be firm to receive one true teaching word which is sharper than any two-edged sword and reject the other teachings and gossips.
        The gentle heart in the anointing of Holy Spirit helps us to hear and obey the word of God seriously with a need like a dog that licks the crumbs, so we can understand and believe the Word until it becomes faith in our heart and we can practice it.

      Luke 8:15
      8:15 "But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

      The result is the perseverance in the shepherding pen or three main services as follows:

      • The Golden Candlestick or the perseverance in doing General Service to get the fellowship with Holy Spirit God in the gifts. We are given drink so that we are fresh, faithful, and fervent in spirit.
      • The Table of Showbread or the perseverance in doing Bible Study Service and Holy Communion to get the fellowship with the Son of God in the true teaching word and Holy Communion. We are fed.

      • The Golden Altar of Incense or the perseverance in doing Prayer Service to get the fellowship with the Father God in His love. We breathe in the love of God, so we have the eternal life.

      We are like a branch which attaches to the true vine. Our body, soul, and spirit attach to the trinity of God, so we cannot be touched, fallen, and deceived by the trinity of Satan. We experience the peace and all things become easy and light. In the shepherding pen, we are sanctified continually until being as perfect as the trinity of God or Jesus.

      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.

      We are sanctified and equipped with the beautiful tunic. It means that our life becomes beautiful until bearing sweet fruit, namely the joy of heaven and the blessings of God. We are anointed by Holy Spirit in the service and ministry, so we can enjoy it regularly and orderly.

    2. Sowing and reaping in Ministry.
      Sowing means testifying the good news to call the sinful man to believe Jesus and be saved by God.
      Reaping means testifying the Bride Tidings or the true teaching word which is sharper than any two-edged sword to choose the people who have been saved to be as perfect as Jesus is.

      The results are as follows:

      • We become the apple of God's eye that is kept directly by Him. It begins from now on in the midst of difficulties in the world up to age to the age of antichrist who rules over the world for three and a half years.
        Matthew 6:26
        6:26 "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?


      • We experience the joy of heaven forever until our name is written in the book of life.
        John 4:36
        4:36 "And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.


    3. Waiting the second coming of Jesus.
      There are two great things that happen when Jesus comes for the second time as follows:

      • There is one sound of "alleluia" on the glorious clouds.
      • The doomsday happens in the world. The world is destroyed and perish forever.

      On the last day, when the second coming of Jesus is drawing near, we must experience the test of faith and suffer in the flesh and feeling with Jesus. We must be strong and courageous.

      Psalms 27:14
      27:14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!

      Being strong and of good courage means as follows:

      • We hold fast and obey one true teaching word, so we are righteous and holy.
      • We keep faithful and fervent in spirit in the service and ministry to God.
      • We keep on believing and hoping God. We are not doubtful.
      • We keep on worshiping, surrendering, and crying out to God.

      The examples are as follows:

      • The men or fathers are represented by Abraham.
        Genesis 22:5

        22:5 And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you."

        We must love God more than anything. Abraham experienced the test to the marriage and children, but he kept on believing that God was able to resurrect the dead one. As a result, the impossible things become possible. He is able to make something that does not exist yet.

      • Women or mothers are represented by a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years. It refers to the impossibilities or the rottenness of sins up to the peak. She said with faith to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well."The rottenness was healed.

      • The youth are represented by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Although they faced the false worship, they kept on worshiping God even if they had not been helped by God.

God blesses you.
