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

Revelation 12-13 refers to the seven activities of Satan for hindering the perfection of or destroying the church:
  1. Revelation 12 = the six activities of Satan.
  2. Revelation 13 = the seventh activity of Satan as follows:

    1. Verse 1-10 = the beast coming out of the sea, namely the Antichrist with the power of mammon or economy that deceives the church until blaspheming God.
    2. Verse 11-18 = the beast coming out of the earth or the false prophets.
      Verse 11-12 refers to the appearance of the false prophet that is like the sheep, but speaking like the dragon or the false teachings.
      Verse 13-15 refers to the false signs of the false prophets for deceiving the church to fall in the false worship to the Antichrist.
      Verse 16-18 refers to the false seal of the false prophets.
Revelation 13:16-18
13:16. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
13:17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

The false prophets put the false seal, namely the number triple six of the Antichrist on the foreheads and right hand of men, including the church to be the possession of and the same as the Antichrist to be destroyed with him forever.

We must receive the seal of God so that we are not sealed with the number triple six.
There are three seals of God as follows:
  1. The seal of the blood of redemption on the forehead and hand.
    Exodus 13:13-16
    13:13."But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.
    13:14 "So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that you shall say to him, 'By strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
    13:15 'And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'
    13:16 "It shall be as
    a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt."

    In the Tabernacle, it refers to the Court.
    In the verse above, it is shown by the colt.
    The neck of the newborn colt was only for being broken.

    Therefore, the colt had to be redeemed through slaying a lamb for getting the blood to redeem or replace the colt. It means that the colt can be alive.

    Judges 15:16
    15:16.Then Samson said: "With the jawbone of a donkey, Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have slain a thousand men!"

    'a thousand men' = the Gentiles.
    Thus, the Gentiles are born only for being broken at the neck.
    It means as follows:

    • There is no relationship with the Head.
    • The Gentiles are nothing before God.
    • The spirituality is dry. The Gentiles commit sins up to the peak only until perishing forever in the hell.

    Therefore, the Gentiles must be redeemed by the blood of Jesus or the Lamb of God through pouring His blood by His death on the cross for redeeming them so that they can be alive.

    Exodus 13:14-15
    13:14."So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that you shall say to him, 'By strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
    13:15 'And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'

    The blood of Jesus has the godly power for delivering us from the slavery of Satan, sin, problem, and so on.

    Exodus 13:16
    13:16. "It shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt."

    'between your eyes' = the blood of Jesus must be the sign on the forehead. Our mind must pay attention to the blood of Jesus.
    'a sign on your hand' = the blood of Jesus is sealed on the hand or deeds.

    Thus, the blood of Jesus must be sealed in our body, soul, and spirit.
    The proof is that we are delivered from sins.

    1 Corinthians 5:7-8,11
    5:7.Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
    5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of
    sincerity and truth.
    5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral
    (1), or covetous(2), or an idolater(3), or a reviler(4), or a drunkard(5), or an extortioner(6)--not even to eat with such a person.

    We are set free from the six sins which control our body, soul, and spirit as follows:

    • sexually immoral(1)or the sins concerning marrying-being given in marriage anddrunkard(5)or the sins concerning eating-drinking mean the sins which control the body.
    • covetous(2) , reviler(4), extortioner(6) means the sins which control the soul or become the characteristics.
      Covetousness means that one cannot give to other people who are in need. |

    • idolater(3)means the sins which control the spirit.
      Idol means all things which hinder us to love God and prioritize the service and ministry to Him.
      If it continues, it will be the worship to the Antichrist.

    Do not make fellowship with the people who commit the six sins although they are brothers.

    Being set free, we will live in righteousness and purity. There is no hypocrisy.

    The results are as follows:

    • Having the atmosphere is Passover. We are set free from sins and the curse.
    • Peace. All things become easy and light.
    • We can have the fellowship in the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, up to the perfect body of Christ.

  2. The seal of the true teaching Word on the forehead and hand.
    Deuteronomy 6:1,6-8
    6:1."Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commandedto teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, 6:6 " And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
    6:7 "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
    6:8 "You shall bind them as
    a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

    It refers to the Holy Place.

    Moses or the shepherd taught the command or words of God Himself.
    It refers to the Word which is revealed through a verse that explains other verses in the Bible.

    There are two kinds of spiritual food in the shepherding which are preached by a pastor as follows:

    • The Gospel Word that preaches Jesus' first coming for giving birth to us again as the saved sons of God.
      It is for the people who have not known Jesus.

    • The teaching Word which preaches Jesus' second coming on the glorious clouds in the glory as the King and Heavenly Bridegroom for growing up our spirituality to the maturity and sanctify us to be as perfect as Jesus is.

    The process of the Word's being sealed on the forehead and hand is as follows:

    • Holy Spirit helps us to hear the true teaching Word, so we can seriously pay attention to every Word. We hear it as a need, and then we can understand or the true teaching Word is sealed on the forehead.

    • Holy Spirit helps us to believe the Word, so it becomes faith or it is sealed on the heart.
    • Holy Spirit helps us to obey the Word although it seems impossible for us. The Word is sealed on the hand. The power of God will work to make impossible things possible.

    The Antichrist cannot put his seal on us anymore.

    The proof of understanding up to obeying the Word is that we experience the sanctification to our whole life. It begins from the mouth.

    1 Peter 1:22

    1:22.Since you have purified your soulsin obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

    The proof of the sanctification of our whole life is the mouth that speaks correctly, namely testifying and teaching the true teaching as well as the honesty.

    Deuteronomy 6:7

    6:7."You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talkof them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

    Sowing the slander, one will reap the thorns.

    After the mouth is sanctified, we will live in holiness, so we can love one another. We only do good deeds to other people. It starts from the marriage.

    Being holy and loving one another, we must be faithful.
    Being faithful to God means that we persevere in the sheepfold. The teaching Word makes us enter the sheepfold so that we can grow up.
    Afterwards, we can be faithful in the marriage and true fellowship.

    Being holy and faithful and loving one another, we will be entrusted with the beautiful tunic.

    Ephesians 4:11-12

    4:11.And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
    4:12 for
    the equipping of the saintsfor the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

    We are used in the edification of the perfect body of Christ. It begins from the marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, up to the perfect body of Christ. We can pray for one another and become the house of prayer.

    Having the true teaching Word, our house will be the house of prayer, not the den of thieves.

    Deuteronomy 6:9

    6:9."You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

    We experience the Feast of Passover.

  3. The seal of the name of God.
    Exodus 28:36,38
    28:36." You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
    28:38 "So it shall be on Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.

    It refers to the Most Holy Place.

    Revelation 14:1
    14:1.Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's namewritten on their foreheads.

    Jesus gets the name which is above all names through His obedience up to the point of death on the cross.

    Philippians 2:8-9

    2:8.And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
    2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him
    the name which is above every name,

    It means that we must experience the sprinkling of blood.
    We must receive the sprinkling of blood of Jesus to get the seal of His name.

    Ezekiel 9:4-6
    9:4.and the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheadsof the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."
    9:5 To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.
    9:6 "Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the temple.

    'put a mark' = being written with the name of God.

    The proofs of receiving the name of Jesus are as follows:

    • Loving God more than anything or being obedient until the flesh does not speak anymore and loving others who make hostility towards us. We can repay goof for evil.

    • Groaning because of sins or hating sins.
      Formerly, we were in the mire of sins, but now we can get the sanctification and renewal, so we can groan because of sins up to the peak.

      We hate sins until we cannot do any sin anymore like Jesus.

    One who has the seal of the blood of Jesus, the seal of the true teaching Word, and the seal of the name of Jesus is being sealed on the heart or forehead and hand of God like a baby in the embrace of His hands and John who leaned on Jesus' bosom.

    Song of Solomon 8:5-6
    8:5.A RELATIVE Who is this coming up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother brought you forth; There she who bore you brought you forth.
    8:6 THE SHULAMITE TO HER BELOVED Set me as
    a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

    Leave the sins up to the peak and the false teachings to receive the seal of the name of Jesus!
    We only cry to God and remember Him, not others. We cry out and surrender to Him.

    Isaiah 49:15-16
    49:15. "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.
    49:16 See, I have
    inscribedyou on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.

    God will not forget us also. He pays attention to, cares, and struggles for us. What for?

    • Surrounding us as with a shield or the wall of protection and preservation for us who are powerless until the days when the Antichrist reigns over the world.
      Whom do we remember first in the time of crisis? We must remember God first.

    • Surrounding us as with a shield or the wall of serenity, so all things become easy and light in the midst of uncertainties in the world.
    • Inscribing us on the palms of His hands.
      It means that He makes war instead of us. He does all things which we cannot do. He defeats enemies and finishes all impossible problems.

      His merciful hands guarantee our beautiful and successful future life.

    • Sanctifying and changing us until we are as perfect as He is or we do not stumble in words. We become the heavenly bride.
      James 3:2
      3:2.For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

      We only shout for joy, saying "Alleluia"for welcoming Jesus' second coming, we enter the Feast of Tabernacle, paradise and the New Jerusalem.
God blesses you.
