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

Revelation 16:10-11
16:10. Then
the fifth angelpoured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.
16:11 They blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

The fifth bowl of the wrath is poured out on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom becomes full of darkness (it is explained in Bible Study Service in Malang, June 23, 2022).
Thus, the fifth punishment is the darkness.

There are four kinds of darkness in the Bible as follows:

  1. Physical darkness, namely the crisis of economy, health, and so on.
  2. Supernatural darkness. It means that the darkness cannot be thought anymore as follows:

    1. The darkness for three days in Egypt = there was no sun or God's love. All are in jealousy, hatred, and revenge.
    2. The darkness for three hours when Jesus was crucified until His death = there was no moon or redemption. It means that there is no remission of sin anymore.

    3. The darkness for three and a half years in the world when the Antichrist reigns over the world. At that time, the heavenly bride is evacuated to the wilderness by the two wings of a great eagle, far away from the presence of the Antichrist. The sun, moon, and stars have been brought by the Church to the wilderness.
      The darkest darkness happens on earth, namely the persecution and massacre by the Antichrist.

  3. Spiritual darkness, namely men including God's servants who live or enjoy in sins up to the peak.
  4. The darkness as the fifth punishment of God in the world that makes men and God's servants painful with the deadly sores. Men keep on not repenting, but blaspheming God, so they must get the punishment of the darkest darkness in the hell to perish forever.

There are seven things which cause men to enter the darkest darkness or the seven groups of men who enter the throne of the beast or Satan as follows(it is explained in Bible Study Service in Malang, June 30, 2022):

  1. Disobeying the parents.
  2. God's servants who do not want to enter through the narrow door. They do not want to get the crucifixion of the flesh, so they do not want to enter through the door of the shepherding.

  3. Wicked people.
  4. False teaches and prophets who teach the destructive false teachings.
  5. Satan. If the pastor, God's servants, and congregation are not obedient, they will be the satanic church.
  6.   God's servants whose faith is dead (it is explained in General Service, July 03, 2022).
  7. Matthew 22:10-14
    22:10."So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
    22:11 "But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who
    did not have on a wedding garment.
    22:12 "So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And
    he was speechless.
    22:13 "Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and
    cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
    22:14 "For many are called, but few are chosen."

    The seventh refers to the following things:

    • God's servants who do not have on a wedding garment.
    • Verse 12 = there is no positive reaction to the hard teaching Word.

    Hearing the true teaching Word, but without the good reaction, the wicked people will keep wicked and unclean although they have gotten the mercy of God to receive the invitation to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb. The Gentiles actually do not deserve to receive the invitation of God.

    2 Timothy 4:1-2
    4:1.I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
    4:2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season.
    Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

    The true teaching Word which is preached patiently and repetitively contains the following things:

    • 'convince' = showing our sins, so we can realize, regret, and confess our sins. We are forgiven by God and do not get the darkness.

    • 'rebuke' = rebuking us so that we repent and do not repeat the sins.
    • 'exhort' = advising us so that we live in righteousness and holiness up to the perfection.

    The repetitive Word refers to the words spoken by Jesus as the King.

    Therefore, we must give the positive reaction towards every preaching of the true teaching Word by the anointing of Holy Spirit as follows:

    • Hearing the Word seriously with a need.
    • Understanding it.
    • Believing it.
    • Obeying the Word, so our life, marriage and ministry can be more righteous and holier. Our weaknesses can decrease until someday we can be blameless.

    Every revival of the edification of Christ's body must not be released from the true teaching Word. Why

    • Jesus as the Head is the true teaching Word.
      John 1:1,14
      1:1.In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
      1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

      'the Word' = logos means the true teaching Word.

    • The sons of God are reborn by the true teaching Word. It means that we, as the body of Christ, are also the true teaching Word.
      John 1:12-13
      1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
      1:13
      who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

      1 Peter 1:23
      1:23.having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of Godwhich lives and abides forever,


    The body of Christ must be pure, so all wrong things in private life, marriage, ministry, and fellowship must be thrown away from the fellowship of the body of Christ through the work of the true teaching Word (for example, one entered the feast without having on a wedding garment).
    If there is the true teaching Word, the person keeps on dwelling inside because the garment is thrown away. It means that we can realize our sins, regret, and confess to God and others, so we keep on dwelling in the pure body of Christ.

    Unfortunately, many people do not want to confess their mistakes and weaknesses. They have done mistake, but they keep silent; even they get angry when the rebuke comes and finally they go out of the body of Christ because of not being willing to get the sanctification. Such thing is dangerous because the gossip spreads so fast. Be careful! Do not hear from one side only!

    Matthew 22:13-14
    22:13."Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
    22:14 "For many are called, but few are chosen."

    Going out of the pure body of Christ means 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness' as follows:

    • 'The hands are bound' means as follows:

      1. Not being able to stand on the sacrifice of Christ or not experiencing the redemption, so the life journey is wicked, namely committing sins up to the peak or there is no righteousness.

      2. Not being able to enter the edification of the perfect body of Christ, but Babylon's.

    • 'The hands are bound' means as follows:

      1. Not being able to give. It means stinginess and greediness.
        Stinginess means that one cannot give to the work of God and others who are in need.
        Greediness means stealing the possession of others, especially God's, namely the tithes and offerings.

        Not being able to give, one will not enter the edification of the perfect body of Christ, but Babylon's because the edification of the Tabernacle begins from giving the offerings.

      2. Not being able to worship God. One cannot stretch out his hands to God, so his life does not change, but becomes the same as the Antichrist that will be destroyed in the hell forever.

    The power of the true teaching Word is able to open our mouth for the following things:

    • Confessing all mistakes and weaknesses.
    • Worshiping God and asking for His mercy.

    The results are as follows:

    • The power of healing.
      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.

      The disease which is impossible to be cured can be cured y God.
      The leprosy refers to the self-truth, the truth which is not in line with the Bible, or committing sin but blaming at others and God.

      The self-truth is changed into the truth from God, namely confessing and forgiving one another, so the blood of Jesus washes away all sins and we can live in righteousness and holiness. We enter the edification of the perfect body of Christ.

    • God has mercy on the people who are not shepherded.
      Matthew 9:36
      9:36.But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassionfor them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

      Not being shepherded, they will be weary, in toil, and scattered.
      God is able to preserve and protect our life that is small and powerless in the midst of the difficulties in the world up to the time when the Antichrist reigns over the world up to the eternal life.

      The merciful hands of God are also able to satisfy our heart, so we always give thanks and our heart is peaceful. All things become easy and light.

    • God has mercy on the people who have gone out of the true shepherding.
      Luke 7:11-15
      7:11.Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.
      7:12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
      7:13 When the Lord saw her,
      He had compassionon 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.

      Going out of Nain = going out of the true shepherding.
      Going towards the tomb means the spiritual death, only committing sins, and the destruction of marriage.
      Physically, there is no future life, but many tears.

      God stretches out His merciful hands for reviving the dead. It means finishing all impossible problems, giving the beautiful successful future life, as well as sanctifying and changing us until we are as perfect as Jesus is. We are worthy to welcome His second coming on the glorious clouds. We enter the One-Thousand-Year Kingdom of Peace or the upcoming Paradise and the New Jerusalem forever.

God blesses you.
