From Delayed Broadcast of Prayer Service in Surabaya.
Revelation contains twenty two chapters and it is the last book in Bible. In Tabernacle, Revelation refers to the Ark of Covenant. It is the last equipment in Tabernacle.
The Ark of Covenant contains two parts as follow:
The Ark has a molding of gold for so that the Mercy Seat cannot move upon it.
Thus, the Ark has a molding of gold to fasten the connection between it and the Mercy Seatso it will not move from the Ark. This refers to the strong fellowship between the perfect Church as the Bride and Jesus as the Bridegroom of Heaven.
The molding of gold is on the Ark, not on the Mercy Seat. It means the yearning of Church of God as the Bride to have fellowship with Jesus as the Bridegroom of Heaven.
The spiritual meaning of the molding of gold is as follows:
The example and result of the life that has fear to God is as follows:
The example is women because the Church is signifies by a woman. In Revelation 12:1 there is a woman with sun, moon, and stars.
Let us provide the molding of gold which is the yearning to fellowship through the honesty and fear to God. Thus, we can worship Him this evening.
The difficulties will be solved as long as we walk in His will. If we stretch out our hand to God, He will stretch out His hand toward us.
God blesses us.
Revelation contains twenty two chapters and it is the last book in Bible. In Tabernacle, Revelation refers to the Ark of Covenant. It is the last equipment in Tabernacle.
The Ark of Covenant contains two parts as follow:
- The Mercy Seat is made of pure gold and refers to Jesus in the glory as the Bridegroom of Heaven.
- An Ark (the chest) is made of acacia wood overlaid with pure gold and refers to the perfect Church of God as the Bride of Heaven.
Exodus 25:11
25:11And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of gold all around.
The Ark has a molding of gold for so that the Mercy Seat cannot move upon it.
Thus, the Ark has a molding of gold to fasten the connection between it and the Mercy Seatso it will not move from the Ark. This refers to the strong fellowship between the perfect Church as the Bride and Jesus as the Bridegroom of Heaven.
The molding of gold is on the Ark, not on the Mercy Seat. It means the yearning of Church of God as the Bride to have fellowship with Jesus as the Bridegroom of Heaven.
The spiritual meaning of the molding of gold is as follows:
- The honesty.
Proverbs 3:32
3:32 For the perverseperson isan abomination to theLord,but His secret counseliswith the upright.
The honesty means we say yes if yes and no if no as well as true if true and false if false.
Titus 2:7
2:7 in all things showing yourselfto bea pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
The epistle of Paul to Titus contains the chapter of consecration.
The sixth verse is about advised youth.
So the honesty begins in the true teaching Word. We must be firm and undoubted in true teaching Word. After that, we must be upright in many things. For example in marriage and finance.
If we are upright in teaching and all things, we will be covered as the Ark being covered. It means we are cared and protected already.
The result of being upright is as follows:- Proverbs 11:11
11:11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.- Being blessed by God.
- “By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted” means to become blessing to be used in the building of the perfect body of Christ or New Jerusalem.
“but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked” means to overthrow the New Jerusalem or build the Babylon.
- Being blessed by God.
- Becoming the house of prayer, not the den of thieves.
Proverbs 15:8
15:8. The sacrifice of the wickedisan abomination to theLord,but the prayer of the uprightisHis delight.
When we cannot do anything but pray, God is answering our prayers.
- Proverbs 11:11
- Fearing God.
Psalms 25:14
25:14 The secret of theLordiswith those who fear Him,and He will show them His covenant.
“He will show them His covenant” means as the Mercy Seat cannot move from the Ark.
Fearing God means as follows:- Hating sin and lie.
Proverbs 8:13
8:13 The fear of theLordisto hate evil;pride and arrogance and the evil wayand the perverse mouth I hate. - Praising God through saying, deed of our daily life, and ministry or consecration.
Revelation 14:7
14:7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
Do not make God ashamed or grieved! The one against God will make His heart grieved as marrying-being given in marriage and divorced that happen in the age of Noah. - Worshipping God means as follows:
- Being obedient.
- Trusting and entrusting our life to God.
- Stretching out our hand to God.
- Being obedient.
- Hating sin and lie.
The example and result of the life that has fear to God is as follows:
The example is women because the Church is signifies by a woman. In Revelation 12:1 there is a woman with sun, moon, and stars.
- Mary.
Luke 1:37-38
1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
1:38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
The angel sends message to Mary that she must be pregnant before getting married. This is hard thing to do for flesh.
If we keep the flesh, we will not obey God’s will. If we sacrifice the flesh, we will be able to obey God’s will.
Mary obeys God thus she can worship Him. “Let it be to me according to your word” means Mary is ripping the flesh and obeying God even it contradicts to the flesh.
Do not force our will in many things. If our will contradicts to God’s will, we are with the world that is perishing.
The result is the power of God’s hand is stretched out to do the things as follows:- Opening the womb of Mary. It means the door of beautiful and joyful future is open. Jesus is born means we have beautiful future. If Jesus had not been born, we would have perished.
- Opening the door of salvation so we can live in righteousness. He is born so there is salvation.
- Opening the door of perfection so we can be holy and perfect as Jesus is.
- Opening the door of Heaven so we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
- Opening the womb of Mary. It means the door of beautiful and joyful future is open. Jesus is born means we have beautiful future. If Jesus had not been born, we would have perished.
- Woman who has flow of blood for twelve years.
Mark 5:25-29
5:25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,
5:26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.
5:27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behindHimin the crowd and touched His garment.
5:28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
5:29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt inherbody that she was healed of the affliction.
The woman goes to physicians and spends all that she has, but her condition grows worse.
The one that God waits is “Ifonly I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well". It means worship prayer.
The woman worships God means to fully trust and entrust her life to the power of God.
The result is God’s hand with the healing power is stretched out to fix the problem even the impossible ones.
This evening He waits us! We may put an effort for earning money, trading, et cetera, but we must bring everything to Him. For the one who decides is God. Our life and death are in His hand. - The Syro-Phoenician woman or the Gentiles.
Mark 7:28-30
7:28 And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.”
7:29 Then He said to her,“For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
7:30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
The Syro-Phoenician woman faces the marriage and child that are ruined. Her marriage is ruined means there is no explanation about her husband. Her daughter is possessed by demon means falling in sin of eating drinking, drugs abuse, et cetera.
The one that God waits is the saying of the Syro-Phoenician woman “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs." It means the worship prayer.
The Gentiles worship God means as follows:- Confessing all the weakness, uncleanness, wickedness and the condition that is ruined.
- Appreciating and enjoying the crumbs or the teaching Word and Holy Communion. Enjoying the Word is until we can obey it.
When the dog is able to lick the crumbs or appreciate and enjoy the crumbs, all the problems are solved. For that reason, do not leave the Bible Study Service!
- The hand of God is stretched out with the power to recover the ruined marriage and child. He makes everything peaceful, easy and light.
The daughter that is possessed by demon cannot sleep (there is no peace) and everyone in the house cannot sleep either. - The hand of God is stretched out with the power to renew the dog into the sheep that is shepherded. Thus, we can live in righteousness, holiness and perfection like God.
When Jesus comes second time, we will be lifted up to the glorious clouds to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb of God where there is no tear anymore. And then, we enter the Thousand Years Kingdom of Peace and continue to New Jerusalem forever.
- Confessing all the weakness, uncleanness, wickedness and the condition that is ruined.
Let us provide the molding of gold which is the yearning to fellowship through the honesty and fear to God. Thus, we can worship Him this evening.
The difficulties will be solved as long as we walk in His will. If we stretch out our hand to God, He will stretch out His hand toward us.
God blesses us.
