General Service in Malang, October 11, 2020 (Sunday Morning)
Peace
and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus christ.
Revelation 12
refers to shekinah
glory
(the light of glory) in the Tabernacle.
There
are two signs in heaven in the book of Revelation 12 as follows:
-
Revelation
12:1
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.
The
first is 'a
great sign appeared in heaven
', namely the appearance of the perfect church that becomes the
light of the world in the light of glory or the heavenly bride who
is ready to be evacuated to the wilderness, far away from the
presence of the Antichrist who rules over the world for three and a
half years. She is also ready to be lifted up on the glorious clouds
and meet Jesus who comes a second time as the Heavenly Bridegroom.
We enter the spiritual marriage, the Paradise, and the New Jerusalem
forever.
-
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.
The
second is 'another
sign appeared in heaven
', namely the appearance of Satan who blocks and destroys the
church.
The
growth of the church towards the perfection is always blocked by
Satan so that the church cannot be perfect, but left when Jesus comes
a second time and destroyed forever like Israelites when they grew
fast and faced the deliverance from Egypt to Canaan. They faced the
obstacle from Pharaoh or Satan so that they could not have gone out
of Egypt.
In
Exodus 1:8-22, there are three ways of Satan to destroy Israelites or
the church of God as follows:
-
The cunning through
the temptation and persuasion to make ones go out of the plan of God
(it has been explained in Bible
Study Service in Malang, October 6, 2020).
Exodus
1:10
1:10.
"come, let us deal
shrewdly
with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war,
that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up
out of the land."
-
The rigor or forced
labor to make God's servants unable to serve and minister to Him
[Exodus 1:11-14] (it has been explained in Prayer
Service in Malang, October 8, 2020).
Exodus
1:13
1:13.
So the Egyptians
made the children of Israel serve with rigor.
If
God's servants are not faithful; even they leave the service and
ministry to Him, they have been in the hands, rigor, and forced
labor of Satan. He cannot get anything, but perdition.
- The
murdering [Exodus 1:15-22].
ad. 3.
Exodus
1:15-22
1:15.
Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name
of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah;
1:16 and he
said, "When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women,
and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill
him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."
1:17
But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt
commanded them, but saved the male children alive.
1:18 So the
king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why
have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?"
1:19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew
women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give
birth before the midwives come to them."
1:20 Therefore
God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew
very mighty.
1:21 And so it was, because the midwives feared
God, that He provided households for them.
1:22 So Pharaoh
commanded all his people, saying, "Every son who is born you
shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save
alive."
Pharaoh
commanded that only the male babies of Israel were killed.
Why?
-
To create the mix
or wrong marriage to happen. Without the male of the Israelies, the
female must look for the men of Egypt.
After the mix marriage,
there will be the divorce-remarrying and marrying-being given in
marriage.
Thus, Satan wants to destroy the physical marriage
of the church so that they cannot reach the spiritual marriage or
the marriage supper of the Lamb.
The marriage supper of the Lamb
is the entrance to Paradise and heavenly kingdom. If it is
destroyed, one cannot enter the heavenly kingdom. Therefore, we must
be careful about marriage.
- Men
deserve to get the inheritance right. The male babies were killed so
that they could not get the inhetitance right of the heavenly
kingdom, but the everlasting perdition.
There are
two kinds of murdering as follows:
- At
the birth time.
Spiritually,
it means that Satan hinders the new birth of the sons of God.
John
3:3-5
3:3.
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
3:4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he
is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be
born?"
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.
Verse
4 = relying on the knowledge, one cannot understand the heavenly
kingdom as well as the new birth.
The process of the new birth is
as follows:
- The
baptism of blood (the Altar of Burnt Offerings) = believing Jesus
and repenting or stopping sinning.
- The
water baptism (the Brazen Laver) = the deliverance from sin.
- The
baptism of Holy Spirit (the Door of Tabernacle) = obedience, so one
can live in righteousness and holiness and inherit the heavenly
kingdom.
There are three
kinds of mistake about the new birth or the murdering of babies as
follows:
- The
mistake in the water baptism,
namely the servant of God creates many kinds of water baptism
according to the logic while actually God has said that there is
only one true baptism.
Ephesians
4:5
4:5.
one Lord, one faith, one
baptism;
Such
servant of God does not realize that he has killed the babies.
The true water baptism is according to the Word and we are
baptized as Jesus is.
Matthew
3:16
3:16.
When He had been baptized, Jesus
came up immediately from the water;
and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit
of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
Romans
6:4
6:4.
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
It
means that one who has believed Jesus and repented or died to sin
must be buried in water with Jesus and raise from the water with
Him to get the new or heavenly life, namely being set free from
sins and baptized of Holy Spirit. We become obedient, so we can
live in righteousness and holiness like Jesus.
Thus, Satan
hinders the life renewal through the wrong baptism as follows:
- Not
being buried in water, but in the way of Satan which is in line
with human logic.
Not being buried, one has not been baptized
yet, but he keeps on being the fleshly man who cannot inherit the
heavenly kingdom.
- The
mistake of the congregation is that they have died to sin, but
they do not want to be baptized in the true water baptism, so they
are rotten and cannot enter the heavenly kingdom.
- The
baptism has been true, but the servant of God baptizes one who has
not repented yet, so he resists against God.
- The
mistakes in the baptism of Holy Spirit
are as follows:
- The
servant of God only emphasizes the physical anointing oil like in
the age of the Law. Actually, the anointing oil has come down
directly from heaven since the days on the upper room in
Jerusalem.
Because of the mistake, ones who have bought the
anointing oil suppose that they have been filled up by the
anointing of Holy Spirit.
- Imitating
or teaching the tongues. It is made in physical ways.
The oil
is made physically and the tongues are too.
Acts 2:4
2:4.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak
with other tongues, as
the Spirit gave
them utterance.
'
as the Spirit gave
' = the true things is that the tongues are given by Holy Spirit.
Formerly in the Old Testament, one who imitated the anointing oil
would be dead.
The baptism of water and Holy Spirit must be
received by the true faith, namely from hearing the true teaching
Word.
- Hindering
others for entering the baptism of water and Holy Spirit through
being the stumbling-block.
Matthew
18:6
18:6.
"But whoever causes
one of these little ones
who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone
were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the
sea.
'
causes one of these little ones
' = being the stumbling-block for others who will get the new
birth.
Being the stumbling-block or easily stumbling is the same
as a millstone's being hung around the neck. It means that the
life is not beautiful, but drowns and perishes.
Why does Satan or
Pharaoh hinder the new birth of the sons of God?
-
Satan hinders the
new birth so that the sons of God cannot look at the heavenly
kingdom. They cannot prioritize God anymore, but the physical
things. All things may be righteous, but the final result is
disobedience.
John
3:3
3:3.
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God."
-
Satan hinders the
new birth so that the sons of God always commit the sin and enjoy
in it.
1
John 3:9
3:9.
Whoever has been born of God does
not sin,
for His seed remains in him; and he cannot
sin,
because he has
been born of God.
The
servants of God become unrighteous like Satan and perish forever.
-
The murdering
after the birth, namely the babies were cast into the river.
Exodus
1:22
1:22.
So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, "Every
son who is born you shall cast into the river,
and every daughter you shall save alive."
It
means that the servants of God who have experienced the life
renewal, repented, and lived in righteousness can drown because of
the stream of the river in the daily life as follows:
- The
stream of the world,
namely the business, amenities, sorrow, bad friendship, and so on
in the world which cause the servants of God to be unfaithful in
the service and ministry to God. It starts from the marriage,
shepherding, and inter-shepherding. They become the enemy of God.
James
4:4
4:4.
Adulterers
and adulteresses!
Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Whoever therefore wants to be a
friend of the world
makes himself an enemy
of God.
Being
the enemy of God means that one is near Satan that is the source of
destruction, so the problems start to come.
Being faithful,
we will be near God, who is the source of all good things.
-
The stream of
sins
as follows:
- The
sins of Babylon which drown men.
Revelation
18:21
18:21.
Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and
threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great
city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found
anymore.
The
sins of Babylon mean as follows:
- The
sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk,
and drugs abuse as well as the ones concerning marrying-being
given in marriage such as mix marriage, divorce-remarrying,
sexual affairs, and marrying-being given in marriage.
-
The sin of
stumbling. It means easily stumbling and being the
stumbling-block.
- The
evil sin or the bond of money.
1
Timothy 6:9-10
6:9.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare,
and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in
destruction and perdition.
6:10 For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the
faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows.
The
facts found in it are as follows:
- Looking
for money in illegal ways.
- Stinginess
and greediness.
The stinginess means that one cannot give.
The
greediness means stealing the possession of others, especially
God's, namely the tithes and offerings.
- The
doubt as follows:
- The
doubt to the true teaching Word because of keeping sins until
being deceived by the false teachings.
- The
doubt to the power of God until looking for the other god.
- The
stream of the fleshly lusts which make disobedience.
We
must be obedient to God through our obedience to the true parents
(the Court of the Tabernacle). Resisting against the true parents
means being in the wilderness.
After obeying the parents, we
must obey the true pastor although it is not in line to the logic.
We have entered the Holy Place and had the curtains of
protection.
Finally, we obey God and enter the Most Holy Place.
The door of heaven is opened and the doors in the world must also
be opened.
The wild flesh which is disobedient can be seen
through the mouth, namely judging the righteous and the true
teaching Word, murmuring, and so on.
Not
being helped, one will drown in the Nile up to the lake of fire and
brimstone or the hell.
Who were used
for murdering the babies? The midwives who were not like Shiphrah and
Puah were used for murdering the babies.
Exodus
1:15-17
1:15.
Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name
of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah;
1:16 and he
said, "When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women,
and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill
him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."
1:17
But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt
commanded them, but saved the male children alive.
The
spiritual midwife refers to one who is close to the spiritual
birth.
The midwives who were not like Puah and Shiphrah refer to
God's servants whose ordination, life appearance, words, and deeds
are not true or not acceptable to God.
Puah means
joy.
Shiphrah means the lovely appearance.
Combining both of
them, Puah and Shiphrah refer to the servants of God who have the
true ordination or the life which is acceptable to God.
The joy
and lovely appearance refer to having the cheerful face or the ray of
the sunshine of God's love.
God's
servants who are used for murdering the babies have no cheerful face
or love as follows:
-
The face is sad
as follows:
-
The sad face in
the service and ministry like Cain's.
Genesis
4:4-5
4:4.
Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat.
And the LORD respected Abel and his offering,
4:5 but He did
not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain
was very angry,
and his
countenance fell.
Being
very angry refers to the envy and jealousy.
-
The sad face in
the marriage like Hannah which causes the sorrow and depression
until she could not eat anything.
1
Samuel 1:15-16,18
1:15.
And Hannah answered and said, "No, my lord, I am a woman of
sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink,
but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
1:16 "Do not
consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance
of my complaint and grief
I have spoken until now."
1:18 And she said, "Let
your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman went
her way and ate, and her
face was no longer sad.
-
The sad face
because of the problems in the world like the two disciples going
to Emmaus.
Luke
24:17-18,21
24:17.
And He said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that
you have with one another as you walk and are sad?"
24:18 Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to
Him, "Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not
known the things which happened there in these days?"
24:21
"But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem
Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since
these things happened.
The
servants of God who are proud of the physical blessings, but
disappointed or hopeless quickly when they have not been blessed by
God, have the sad face which hinders the edification of the body of
Christ.
-
The bad face
like Hophni and Phinehas.
1
Samuel 2:15,22
2:15.
Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come
and say to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat for roasting to
the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw."
2:22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did
to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the
door of the tabernacle of meeting.
Verse
15 = the bad face because of the evil sin, namely stealing the
possession of God.
Verse 22 = the bad face because of the
uncleanness sin.
If the face is bad, all things will be bad;
even the good things will be bad.
-
The face of
Satan like Peter when he rejected the cross.
Matthew
16:21-23
16:21.
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go
to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief
priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
16:22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him,
saying, "Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to
You!"
16:23 But He turned and said to Peter, "Get
behind Me, Satan!
You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of
God, but the things of men."
Peter
only used the fleshly mind that was comfortable to the flesh
although it resisted against God.
The cross must not be
comfortable for the flesh. Nevertheless, it is in line to the
Word.
The consequence of using the fleshly mind is not
experiencing the renewal of life, but keeping on being the man of
flesh and blood who lies like Peter who finally denied the Lord.
Thus,
the servant of God whose face is sad, bad, and like Satan is used by
him for destroying the body of Christ so that it cannot be perfect
and the great sign does not appear in heaven.
The
solution is as follows:
-
As for God,
Jesus whose face is glorious like the sun shining in its strength
must willingly die on the cross. He becomes so bad not like human
anymore; even He becomes like Satan for radiating the sunshine for
all of us whose face is sad, bad, and like Satan so that we can have
the cheerful face like the sun and the glorious one like Him.
Isaiah
52:13-14
52:13.
Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and
extolled and be very high.
52:14 Just as many were astonished
at you, So His visage was marred more
than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;
-
As for us,
we must ascend to the mountain of worship much more, especially
thorugh the fasting prayer.
Matthew
17:1-2,21
17:1.
Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother,
led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
17:2 and He was
transfigured before them. His
face shone like the sun,
and His clothes became as white as the light.
17:21 "However,
this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."
Matthew
6:16
6:16.
"Moreover, when you fast,
do not be like the hypocrites,
with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may
appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have
their reward.
The
fasting prayer refers to the process of tearing the flesh with all
of its lusts and desires, so we get the renewal by the love of God
from the sad face to the cheerful one; even our face shines like the
sun or Jesus'.
The fasting prayer also refers to the process
to hasten the new birth.
Just look at Jesus face when you face
anything! What we cannot think and do can be done by Jesus as long
as we can look at the sun.
The
functions of the sunshine are as follows:
-
The sunshine
refers to the love and promise of God to be the shield for us. It
means protecting us from the fiery dart of the evil, sins up to the
peak, and false teachings, so we can live in righteousness and
holiness.
Psalm
84:11
84:11.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and
glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk
uprightly.
We
are also protected from the disasters, the Antichrist, God's
judgment, and the doomsday, so we get the peace.
Facing all
things, let us look at the sun until we can live in righteousness,
holiness, and peace. All things become easy and light and our face
is cheerful.
- The
sunshine refers to the love and goodness of God to finish all
impossible problems and sanctify us from the self-truth, so we can
confess and forgive sin one another.
The love and goodness of
God also use us (the Gentiles) in the edification of the perfect
body of Christ. We become the witness or physical and spiritual
blessing for other people. If we become the witness, our face will
be cheerful.
-
The sunshine
refers to the love and glory for changing us from the fleshly men
to the spiritual ones like Jesus. It begins from the honesty or
sincerity and obedience.
Exodus
1:17
1:17.
But the midwives feared
God,
and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the
male children alive.
The
honest and obedient have the fear of the Lord.
If we are honest,
we will not be separated from God regardless of anything that
happens.
Psalm
25:14
25:14.
The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show
them His covenant.
Proverbs
3:32
3:32.
For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His
secret counsel is with the upright.
We
will not turn from Him because there is the perfect love.
When
we will be disappointed, hopeless, or sinful, we must look at the
sun. The successful must not be arrogant, but also look at the sun
because all things are because of God.
When we are honest
and obedient, we become the house of prayer. Then, miracle must
happen and we are changed to be perfect when Jesus comes a second
time. We appear like the woman in Revelation 12:1. We are evacuated
to the wilderness and lifted up to the glorious clouds.
God
blesses you.
