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

Revelation 7 refers to the golden pot with manna or the perfect and unshaken faith. One who has the perfect faith is the perfect man or heavenly bride.

Revelation chapter 7 is divided into two big parts as follows:

  1. [Revelation 7:1-8] One hundred and forty-four thousand people who refer to the core of the Bride of God or the house of Israel.
  2. [Revelation 7:9-17] The great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues or the Gentiles who complete the heavenly Bride.

The house of Israel and the Gentiles become one perfect body of Christ or the perfect Bride of God who is ready to welcome His second coming.

2 Corinthians 5:7-8
5:7. For we walk by faith, not by sight.
5:8. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.


The facts found within the life that has the perfect faith are as follows:

  1. Being confident or strong and of good courage, so one walks by faith not by sight.

    Being confident means as follows:

    • Keeping hodlding fast the true teaching word and obeying it, so one is not doubtful because of false teachings, the sound of flesh, and gossips.
    • Keeping living in righteousness and holiness in the middle of sins up to the peak, namely the sins of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
    • keeping faithful and fervent in ministry to God in the middle of challenges and obstacles.

    For example, Abraham obeys God to present Isaac. It is the test of faith to prove that he loves God more than anything.

    A widow of Zarephath obeys God. She gives for God first and He blesses her, so she can live in the time of famine.
    Daniel keeps obeying God in the middle of threats and false teaching and worship.

    We have to pass through the test of faith to receive the golden pot (the perfect faith).
    Why must there be a test of faith?

    • To increase our faith up to the golden pot with manna.
      1 Peter 1:5-7
      1:5. who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
      1:6. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,
      1:7. that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,


    • To receive the creation power that creates something that does not exist yet and the impossible thing becomes possible.
      Hebrews 11:1-3
      11:1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
      11:2. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
      11:3. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.


    • To greet Jesus when He comes a second time.
      1 Peter 1:7b
      1:7b. may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,


  2. One always pleases God. He iives according to the word.
    2 Corinthians 5:9
    5:9. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

    1 Peter 2:5
    2:5. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

    Being acceptable to God= becoming the priest and king or living stones, namely the servant of God who ministers to Him according to the ministry that He gives to him with the acceptable way to Him.

    Matthew 3:8,9,11
    3:8. "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
    3:9. "and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
    3:11. "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.


    The process of the Gentiles' becoming the priest and king, the living stones, or the spiritual descendants of Abraham are as follows:

    • Believing in Jesus and repenting. We die to sin especially lie and hatred.
      We become honest and love one another.

    • Water and Holy Spirit baptism that result in the new life, namely life in righteousness or life by faith.
      We become the descendants of Abraham spiritually. We become the instrument of righteousness, namely the priests and kings.

    John 4:34
    4:34. Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

    Serving with the acceptable way to God is the same as becoming obedient and faithful until the finish line or Jesus has finished eating. We satisfy Him and He will satisfy us, so we always give thanks.

  3. The sight of faith which is far ahead that we are ready to face the judgment seat of Christ.
    2 Corinthians 5:10
    5:10. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

    Sins of wickedness, uncleanness, bitterness, and unfaithfulness will be judged before the judgment seat of Christ.

    If we have faith, we will try to finish all of our sins by making peace with God and others. Do not sin anymore after being forgiven! Moreover, we must forgive others' sin and forget it.
    As a result, the blood of Jesus takes away the sins, so we experience peace and calm. We become the house of prayer and our prayer is answered by God.

    1 Kings 9:1-3
    9:1. And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he wanted to do,
    9:2. that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
    9:3. And the LORD said to him: "I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built to put My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.


    If we become the house of prayer, we will always feel God Himself in three forms as follows:

    • The name of God is carved in our heart.
      Psalm 138:2
      138:2. I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

      The name of God= the true word of God. Having the name of Jesus in our heart means that the word of God always purifies our lifes. The word of God becomes the brake, so we do not sin anymore.

    • The eyes of God, which are like a flame of fire. It means that the power of Holy Spirit makes us faithful and fervent in the ministry according to the one that He gives to us, no matter risk may come.

      Being holy, faithful, and fervent is the same as the apple of God's eye. God takes care of, protects, and defends us from now in the middle of the difficulties in the world up to the age when the antichrist reigns over the world.

    • The heart of God. It means that we always experience the mercy of God.
      The results are as follows:

      1. God's merciful hand has the power to heal physical and spiritual diseases.

        Spiritual leprosy refers to self-truth, evil, and uncleanness. The spiritual leprosy causes the divisions in the body of Christ.

        Self-truth means the truth outside the Word. One does not want to confess his sin, but blames others and God. He blames the true things and justifies the false ones.

        Uncleanness refers to the sins of eating-drinking and marrying-giving in marriage.
        Evil refers to the love of money, namely stinginess and greediness.
        Stinginess means that one cannot give.
        Greediness means that one robs others'

        Mark 1:40-42

        1:40. Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."
        1:41. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."
        1:42. As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.


      2. The power of resurrection.
        Luke 7:13-17
        7:13. When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
        7:14. Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
        7:15. So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
        7:16. Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."

        The destruction in marriage and children is restored and the impossible problem will be finished by God. From now on, God will help us in the physical things.
        It continues until Jesus comes a second time that we are changed to become as perfect as He is, so we are worthy to greet Him.

God blesses us.
