There are 3 mountains that must be climbed to go to the mountain New Jerusalem, namely:
- Mount Golgotha.
In Tabernacle, it refers to the Court. Jesus died on the Mount Golgotha with 5 major injuries for saving sinful people. The fifth injury where blood and water came out was the biggest injury = sign of salvation.
Climbing up Mount Golgotha means we receive the sign of salvation/the sign of blood and water.
Blood= The Altar of Burnt Offerings, means we believe and repent.
The Word in the annointing of Holy Spirit that we believe, will show hidden sins in our life, that we can aware, feel sorry and confess our sin to God and others. If we are forgiven, do not sin anymore= die for sin= repent.

- Hypocrisy means things inside and outside are different (act and word).
- Envy means hatred without a cause.

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.
The right water baptism is we who died to sin will be buried with Jesus in the water that we raise in newness of life.
I Peter 2:2
2:2. as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
Newness of life is life like newborn babes. It means we do not sin but live in righteousness= receiving salvation. Baby only has one desire, that is enjoying pure milk of mother's breast, which means being able to enjoy shepherding Word.

The Word of God and Holy Spirit sanctify our life and lead us to mountain of holiness/mountain of worship.

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.
Usefulness of the two wings of a great eagle areas follows:- Flying us from storm and wave of temptation in the world until flying us to the wilderness, far away from antichrist who will reign for 3.5 years.
