Revelation 6:7-8
6:7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see."
6:8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

It was like a flying eagle. It refers to the servant of God that is ready to greet the second coming of Jesus on the glorious clouds.

Then, they will enter a thousand years kingdom of peace where the spiritual death has no power anymore because Satan has been chained for a thousand years.

Thus, we must be active and ready to greet the second coming of Jesus, so we are free from the death.

We are learning the second point, namely the work of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The facts found within it are as follows:
- Believing or having faith in Jesus Christwho died on the cross, but He was risen and ascended to heaven.
2 Corinthians 5:7-9
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.
5:9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.
The proofs are as follows:- We do not walk by the earthly things, but obeying the true teaching Word. We live from the true teaching Word, faith, and God.
- We are confident in facing all tribulations, so we will not be disappointed or desperate and do not leave God. We keep faithful and fervent in ministry. We trust and entrust our life to God only.
- We make it our aim to be well pleasing to God, namely living in righteousness.
18:8 "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

- Being willing to enter the flesh suffering because of Jesus.

1 Peter 4:12-14
4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
4:13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
4:14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of gloryand of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
God allows us to experience the flesh suffering or the cross for we can receive the spirit of glory or the Holy Spirit.
Acts 10:44-45
10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.
10:45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.
The functions of Holy Spirit or the spirit of gloryare as follows:
- [1 Peter 4:14] It gives joy in the midst of sufferings, so we can give thank to God. We will not leave the ministry or deny God. The marriage will not be separated.
- The spiritual miracle happens.

4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters.

Stealing is changed to become giving for the work of God and others who are in need. The criminal is changed to become a good person until he can repay the evil with kindness. The trouble maker or gossiper or blasphemer is changed to become peacemaker.
Ephesians 4:24-25
4:24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
4:25 Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another.
It continues until the life becomes honest and trusts God. It means being clear as crystal. - The physical miracle happens.

11:40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
