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

Revelation 13:2
13:2. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragongave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

The Antichrist is the combination of four beasts as follows:

  1. He is like a leopard (it is explained in Bible Study Service in Malang, April 06, 2021).
  2. His feet are like the feet of a bear.
  3. The mouth is like the mouth of a lion.
  4. The dragon gives him his power.

ad. 1. A leopard.
Jeremiah 13:23-24
13:23. Can the Ethiopianchange his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may you also do good who are accustomed to do evil.
13:24. "Therefore I will scatter them like stubble That passes away by the wind of the wilderness.


The pride of a leopard is its spots; even until it dies it is unwilling and unable to change its spots.
It means that the Antichrist is the fleshly man who does not experience the renewal of life to become the spiritual one like Jesus, so he appears as a beast.

The Ethiopian refers to the Gentiles.
It means that the Gentiles who are controlled by the Antichrist cannot experience the renewal of life, but keep the flesh and blood men, so they appear as a beast.

Verse 24 = one who does not experience the renewal of life will be the same as stubble.

Mark 7:3-4,9

7:3. For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.
7:4. When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.
7:9. He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that
you may keep your tradition.

The facts found in the stubble Christian are as follows:

  1. Ministering God, but keeping the tradition. It looks good but breaks the word of God.
  2. One is just satisfied with the physical thing in the ministry, so he does not prioritize the Word of God. He does not want to be filled by the true teaching word.

Consequently, one ministers to God, but he does not experience the renewal of life. It is the same as being controlled by the Antichrist, so he becomes the same as the Antichrist who will be destroyed in the hell forever.

Luke 5:1
5:1. So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

The true ministry is pressing about Jesus. It means prioritizing the true teaching word.
The main purpose of the ministry is hearing the true teaching word, so the mortar pot which is fragile and will perish can be filled by the heavenly treasure to be the eternal golden pot that has the manna inside.

2 Corinthians 4:7-11
4:7. But we have this treasurein earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
4:8. We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
4:9. persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed--
4:10. always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that
the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
4:11. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

'this treasure' refers to the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ or the true teaching word (verse 4).
How great a man is, he is just an earthen vessel that is fragile as well as sinning up to the peak and perdition.
That is why we must be filled with the true teaching word, so we become the golden pot that has the manna inside.

The process of filling the earthen vessel with the true teaching Word or wheat is as follows:

  1. Hearing the true teaching word in the anointing of Holy Spirit, so we can hear it solemnly and with a need like dog which licks the crumbs.
  2. The anointing of Holy Spirit helps us to understand the Word, so it becomes a comprehension in our mind.
  3. Holy Spirit helps us to believe the Word, so it becomes the stable faith in our heart.
    It is the brake, so we do not sin, but we are saved.

  4. Holy Spirit helps us to practice the Word in every step of our life. It is the same as enjoying the Word.

There are many people who like to hear the Word but they do not practice it, so they are angry when the Word points to their life like Herod.

The results of being filled with the Word up to practicing it are as follows:

  1. We receive the excellence of the power of God, so we keep strong and of good courage.
    2 Corinthians 4:7-9
    4:7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of Godand not of us.
    4:8. We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
    4:9. persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed--


    We are strong and of good courage to fight against the things as follows:

    • Problem, difficulties, temptation, distress, and death.
      Being strong and of good courage means that we do not get disappointed and desperate as well as leave God, but we keep giving thanks to Him.

    • The false teachings that make the faith of the church of God doubtful, so we drown in the ocean of the world.
      Being strong and of good courage means keeping holding fast the true teaching word and obeying it.
      Joshua 1:6-7,9,18
      1:6. "Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
      1:7. "Only
      be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
      1:9. "Have I not commanded you?
      Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
      1:18. "Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only
      be strong and of good courage."

      God says: "Be strong and of good courage!" four times so that we hold fast the true teaching word.
      It is used to fight against the four times of deception.

      Matthew 24:4-5,11,24

      24:4. And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceivesyou.
      24:5. "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will
      deceivemany.
      24:11. "Then many false prophets will rise up and
      deceivemany.
      24:24. "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to
      deceive, if possible, even the elect.

      'the elect' is one who is in the true teaching word.

      We are strong and of good courage to hold one true teaching word.

      Revelation 19:1,3-4,6

      19:1. After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!
      19:3. Again they said, "
      Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!"
      19:4. And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, "Amen!
      Alleluia!"
      19:6. And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "
      Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

      On the last days, the four times of "strong and of good courage" make us hold fast the true worship.

      If we have held fast the true teaching word and worship, we will be used in the revival of Holy Spirit in the last rain or the building of the perfect body of Christ to go to the New Jerusalem.
      In the past, Joshua was used in the last stage to enter into Canaan.

      We can minister in the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding up to the perfect body of Christ. We are not used by Babylon.

      Being used in the revival of the last rain is the same as wearing the tunic of many colors.
      It means that our life, marriage, and all things become beautiful.
      Hold the word and keep worshipping God whatever condition we have!

  2. The renewal of life from fleshly men to spiritual ones like Jesus.
    2 Corinthians 4:10-11
    4:10. always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
    4:11. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that
    the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

    The renewal of life is like water's becoming wine.
    John 2:2-5

    2:2. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
    2:3. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine."
    2:4. Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come."
    2:5. His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."


    They ran out of wine but there was the saying: 'They have no wine'. It refers to anxiety.

    What must be changed? It starts from the characteristics as follows:

    • Anxiety is the character of the Gentiles, so one fights against God.
      It is changed to become totally trusting to God.

    • Not being patient or taking own way is changed to become patience in waiting the time of God. We are also patient in the suffering.
    • Disobedience is changed to become obedience until the flesh does not speak anymore.

    The water is changed into sweet wine.
    It means as follows:

    • The deed without love becomes good and true until we return good for evil.
    • Meaningless words, namely lying, gossiping, slandering, and blaspheming are changed into sweet words, namely the true and good words, so others receive God's mercy.
      Song of Solomon 7:9
      7:9. And the roof of your mouth like the best wine. THE SHULAMITE The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved, Moving gently the lips of sleepers.

      The sweet words go down to others who are in need, so we become God's witnesses.
      The sweet words also move gently the lips of sleepers. It means moving to Jesus who is asleep in the stern.

      The matter of Jesus is asleep means as follows:

      1. He dies on the cross, but He is raised to defeat the death, namely problem, sin, and false teaching in the world.
      2. He has not become fervent yet to help us because we have not become calm yet. We still hope others and hear other teaching.
        We are not firm in the true and good shepherding. We do not trust and commit ourselves to God.
        We still lie, gossipet cetera.

        God will help us, so we are in the serenity. We can pray with faith and put away sins.
        We just trust and commit ourselves to God. We put Him as the Head. We pray with giving thanks, and cry out His name.

        Jesus who is asleep will arise to rebuke the winds and waves.
        It means that the power of the name of Jesus is able to calm all great wind and waves. He finishes all of our impossible problems.
        He bears our labor and heavy burden, so we experience peace.

        He is also able to take care of our life in the difficulties of the world until the Antichrist reigns over the world, even up to the eternal life.
        He gives beautiful and successful future. He does all for us.

        At last, the power of the name of Jesus is able to renew us continuously up to perfection to enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb of God and the New Jerusalem forever.

God blesses us.
