Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14 is about the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of Covenant to experience the last sanctification for reaching the quality of being flawless or perfect.
Revelation 14 can be divided into three parts as follows:
ad. 3.
There are two kinds of reaping on the earth as follows:
ad 1.
Revelation 14:14-16
14:14.Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
14:15.And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
14:16.So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
The ripe wheat refers to the perfect body of Christ or the heavenly bride.
For being the ripe wheat and entering the barn of the heavenly kingdom, the church must pass the time of engagement when there are shaking, test, and sprinkling of blood.
2 Corinthians 11:2-4
11:2.For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virginto Christ.
11:3.But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corruptedfrom the simplicity that is in Christ.
11:4.For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!
There are two things which must be kept at the time of engagement as follows:
Psalms 43:3-4
43:3.Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!Let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hilland to Your tabernacle.
43:4.Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and on the harp I will praise You,O God, my God.
Psalms 43:3 [KJV]
43:3. O send out thy light and thy truth: Let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
'thy light' = the anointing.
'thy truth' = the teaching.
Job 39:27-28
39:27.Does the eagle mount upat your command, and make its nest on high?
39:28.On the rock it dwells and resides, on the crag of the rock and the stronghold.
When we keep the anointing of the Holy Spirit (faithfulness) and the true teaching Word (holiness and purity), those two things will become two wings of the eagle that bring us high up to the mountainor the same as loving to worship God.
Jesus also invited His disciples to go up on a high mountain.
Matthew 17:1
17:1.Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
'by themselves' = being exiled.
As Jesus loved to go up on a high mountain, we should also love to worship God.
The worship prayer is the process of exile or self-separation by the power of holiness and faithfulness, the teaching Word, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
There are three times of exile by the teaching Word and the anointing of the Holy Spirit or the two wings of eagle through the true worship prayer as follows:
Keep faithfulness and holiness! These are the two wings of a great eagle that bring us up to the mountain to love to worship God.
God blesses us.
Revelation 14 is about the seven sprinklings of blood in front of the Ark of Covenant to experience the last sanctification for reaching the quality of being flawless or perfect.
Revelation 14 can be divided into three parts as follows:
- Verse 1-5 = the church's following Jesus as the Lamb of God (it is explained from General Service in Malang, August 15, 2021to Prayer Service in Malang, October 14, 2021).
- Verse 6-13 = the notice about the judgment (it is explained fromGeneral Service in Malang, October 17, 2021to General Service in Malang, December 05, 2021).
- Verse 14-20 = the reaping on the earth (it is explained inBible Study in Malang, December 07, 2021).
ad. 3.
There are two kinds of reaping on the earth as follows:
- Verse 14-16 = the reaping of the wheat (it is explained inBible Study Service in Malang, December 07, 2021).
It refers to the result of the sprinkling of blood or the last sanctification that is brought into the barn of kingdom of Heaven. - Verse 17-20 = the reaping of the vine of the earth.
It refers to the consequence of the life who rejects the sprinkling of blood, so he must be thrown into the great winepress of the wrath of God. Thus, blood came out of the winepress up to the horses' bridles.
ad 1.
Revelation 14:14-16
14:14.Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
14:15.And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
14:16.So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
The ripe wheat refers to the perfect body of Christ or the heavenly bride.
For being the ripe wheat and entering the barn of the heavenly kingdom, the church must pass the time of engagement when there are shaking, test, and sprinkling of blood.
2 Corinthians 11:2-4
11:2.For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virginto Christ.
11:3.But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corruptedfrom the simplicity that is in Christ.
11:4.For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!
There are two things which must be kept at the time of engagement as follows:
- The simplicity that is in Christ, one Man, or the true teaching Word.
It means not to add or make less of the Word like Eve has done and to be faithful in the ministry and service to God.
One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is faithfulness.
So, a faithful one will always be in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. - 'chaste virgin' = holiness and purity through being faithful and obedient to the true teaching Word.
The sword of the Word sanctifies us from sins up to the peak and from hypocrisy, so we can live in holiness and purity.
Psalms 43:3-4
43:3.Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!Let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hilland to Your tabernacle.
43:4.Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and on the harp I will praise You,O God, my God.
Psalms 43:3 [KJV]
43:3. O send out thy light and thy truth: Let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
'thy light' = the anointing.
'thy truth' = the teaching.
Job 39:27-28
39:27.Does the eagle mount upat your command, and make its nest on high?
39:28.On the rock it dwells and resides, on the crag of the rock and the stronghold.
When we keep the anointing of the Holy Spirit (faithfulness) and the true teaching Word (holiness and purity), those two things will become two wings of the eagle that bring us high up to the mountainor the same as loving to worship God.

Matthew 17:1
17:1.Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves;
'by themselves' = being exiled.
As Jesus loved to go up on a high mountain, we should also love to worship God.
The worship prayer is the process of exile or self-separation by the power of holiness and faithfulness, the teaching Word, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
There are three times of exile by the teaching Word and the anointing of the Holy Spirit or the two wings of eagle through the true worship prayer as follows:
- Through the worship prayer, the two wings of a great eagle separate us from the world to make us come closer to God.
Exodus 19:4-6
19:4.'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wingsand brought you to Myself.
19:5.Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasureto Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
19:6.And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priestsand a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."
We come closer to God to become the priests and kings, or His own special treasure. It is the proof that we are freed from the world.
Actually, only the Israelites are allowed to become the priests and kings, while the Gentiles cannot.
1 Peter 2:9-10
2:9.But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
2:10.who once were not a peoplebut are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
'were not a people' = the Gentiles.
Through the line of descent, the Gentiles cannot become the priests and kings. Therefore, Jesus gives chance and generosity to the Gentiles through His mercy that is worth the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
So, the price for our priesthood is worth the blood of Jesus. Not being faithful means that we have disrespect to His blood and will be punished.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
12:4.There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
12:5.There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
12:6.And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
The equipment of the priests and kings are as follow:- 'differences of ministries' = the ministry from the Son of God.
The ministry and redemption must increase up to perfection, so they become the light of the moon under the bride's feet. - 'diversities of gifts' = the gifts of the Holy Spirit from the Holy Spirit God.
The gifts are the miraculous ability from the Holy Spirit that is greater than anything in this world, so we can do the ministry to God.
2 Timothy 1:6
1:6.Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of Godwhich is in you through the laying on of my hands.
The attitude toward the gifts of the Holy Spirit is to ignite the spirit. It means to be fervent in spirit and increasing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit up to perfection that is becoming a garland of twelve stars on the bride's head. - 'diversities of activities' = the acts of love from Father God.
He loves us, and we must also love Him more than anything. It means that we prioritize the ministry and service to God more than anything in this world and we love others like we love ourselves. We only do good up to love the enemy, until it becomes the perfect love that is the clothes of the sun on the bride.
Revelation 12:1
12:1.Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moonunder her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
We become the testifier of God, starting in marriage, in front of people, up to becoming the light of the world and the perfect heavenly bride. This is the ripe wheat, namely there is no sin anymore. - 'differences of ministries' = the ministry from the Son of God.
- Through the worship prayer, the two wings of a great eagle evacuate us from the world that is ruled by the Antichrist for three and a half years. We fly into the wilderness, far from the eye of Antichrist.
Revelation 12:14
12:14.But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
The two wings of a great eagle are able to do things as follows:- To protect and preserve us in the midst of increasing difficulties of the world.
- To calm the stormy world, so we can be peaceful, and everything becomes light and easy.
- To resolve all impossible problems for us.
- To fly us into the wilderness, far from the eye of Antichrist. We are preserved directly by God through the Word and Holy Communion.
- To protect and preserve us in the midst of increasing difficulties of the world.
- Through the worship prayer, the two wings of a great eagle lift us from the world that is burnt in the fire of punishment to the glorious clouds, namely the marriage supper of the Lamb, the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace or the Paradise that will come, and the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 19:6-7
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!
19:7.Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
Revelation 21:1-2
21:1.Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
21:2.Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Lifting us means that we experience the renewal from the fleshly man to the spiritual one like Jesus.
We are renewed until "there was no more sea".It means the renewal from the heart that is doubtful to become strong and of good courage in waiting Jesus coming a second time.
The wave of the sea = the doubtful heart.
James 1: 6
1:6.But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubtsis like a wave of the seadriven and tossed by the wind.
Being strong and of good courage means not being disappointed and losing hope or not leaving God, but keeping on believing and hoping to Him. And then the physical miracles will also happen.
Moses could not have entered Canaan, but by being strong and of good courage, he could step into the land of Canaan. It means that God is able to wipe all the impossibilities.
When Jesus comes a second time, we will be renewed to be as perfect as Him and worthy to welcome His coming on the glorious clouds. We enter the marriage supper of the Lamb, the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace or the Paradise that will come, and the New Jerusalem forever.
Keep faithfulness and holiness! These are the two wings of a great eagle that bring us up to the mountain to love to worship God.
God blesses us.
