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

Revelation 4:3
4:3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there wasa rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.

The persona and throne of God radiate the light of glory or the shekinah glory through the precious stone. There are four kinds of precious stone as follows:

  1. Jasper.
    It refers to the faith (the Gate of Tabernacle). The heart believes in Jesus as the only Saviour.

  2. Sardius.
    The color is red. It refers to repentance (the Altar of Burnt Offerings). It refers to the sacrifice of Jesus.

    Romans 10:10
    10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

    If the heart believes, the mouth can confess the sin. After we are forgiven, do not sin anymore. It is repentance that starts from not lying and there is no hatred.

  3. Crystal.
    It is the sea of glass. It refers to the water baptism (the Brazen Laver).

    Revelation 4:6
    4:6 Before the throne there wasa sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, werefour living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.

    The true water baptism is one who has die from sin or repented is buried in water together with Jesus to raise together with Him to receive the new life or the heavenly one, namely the life in righteousness. We can radiate the righteousness in our life.

  4. Emerald.
    It is the rainbow. It refers to the fullness of Holy Spirit (the Door of Tabernacle).

    Romans 8:26
    8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

    Holy Spirit helps us to worship God in groaning that cannot be uttered and cryout to God.

Revelation 12:1-4
12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
12:2
Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
12:3
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
12:4
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

The church of God is shown as the light of the world but facing the fiery red dragon. The meanings are as follows:

  1. Facing the physical crisis that is the difficulties in every aspects even the impossibilities.
  2. Facing the spiritual crisis (because of the tail of dragon), that is the sins up to the peak namely, the sin of eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage, the false teaching, and gossip.

  3. Facing the Antichrist that will reign on earth for three and a half years.

The condition of the church of God is like a woman who is conceived and ready to give birth. It means being weak and powerless. The things that the church must doare as follows:

  1. Being shepherded in correctly and well in true teaching Word; staying in shepherding pen or persevering in three kinds of service. Then, our life will be cared by God.
  2. Testifying or being the light that starts from marriage.
  3. Crying out and groaning to God. [Romans 8:26].

Revelation 12:6, 14
12:6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
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.

God will stretch out His hands to grant us two wings of a great eagle. The results are as follows:

  1. Crossing the tempest in the sea of world, so everything will become calm. Everything is finished in time even the impossible one. We feel peace, and all things become light, and easy. Everything becomes successful and beautiful.

  2. Flying us to wilderness where we are far away from the eyes of serpent (Antichrist) that reigns on earth for three and a half years. We are cared directly by God through the teaching Word and Holy Communion. The Bible Study Service and Holy Communion become the exercise of flying away to wilderness.

  3. Giving extra strength so we become strong and of good courage.
    Isaiah 40:29-31
    40:29 He gives power to the weak,and to those who haveno might He increases strength.
    40:30
    Even the youths shall faint and be weary,and the young men shall utterly fall,
    40:31
    But those who wait on the Lordshall renew theirstrength;they shall mount up with wings like eagles,they shall run and not be weary,they shall walk and not faint.

    It means we do not stumble, fall, and lose our way, but we hold fast the true teaching Word that leads to the New Jerusalem. We keep in faithful and fervent in ministry until the end line. We are patience in waiting His second coming.

  4. Lifting us up to the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time.
    We are employed in the building of the body of Christ. We are purified and changed from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus. It starts from honesty, not lying. We are honest in teaching, confessing the sin, and everything. Until we do not stumble in word. We are perfect when Jesus comes a second time. Right now we are in labor and pain, but when He comes a second time, we will shout for joy on the glorious clouds until we sit together with Jesus on the throne of heaven forever.

God blesses us.
