Revelation 9: 1-11 were disclosed...

   
The inhabitants of the earth have been conquered, as if being place under 'tribute' in Solomon's times encrypted as 666 suggesting gold (money) which has been coiling up the whole world, it began in modern times at the Treaty of Bretton Wood in 1944 AD.  'Tribute' is collected from the whole world in the forms of legal debts and taxes.  No military force arrayed against us, but we all are subjected to the Captors/money-creation-powers.  This world conquest resonates the ancient 'tribute' in Solomon's times, amounting 666  talents of gold per year.  Thus, 666 is the money-creation-powers or the "name" ('mission of man') that plunges humanity into slavery,  deceit, debt, injustices, and evil.  Ordinary peoples like us, do not understand the whole gamut of the modern fiat money. But, it was likened "horses in the battlefield." It is the quest of 'gold' since those horses who run off into battlefields are the "world conquest through money creation powers." The new dimension of world conquest through money creation powers. The horned beast out of the earth in Rev. 13 was predestined to be empowered by the Dragon!

The masses have been conquered through economic slavery.  Through Treaties, "mammonism" succeeded in forcing all men to worship the fatally wounded beast out of  the sea. She was aided by the beast out of the earth. The beast out of the earth was foretold to be the King of the "locusts," that ruler whose mission ("name") called 666, controlled the transactions of "buying and selling."



     One of the 'handiworks' or 'names' of mankind on earth in the last days was fiat money, through which the Treaty of Smithsonian and Jamaica Agreement were likened the foreshadowing opened Abyss, out of its gigantic furnace, locusts came down upon the earth and they were given power like that of scorpions (~like in the days of King Rehoboam who had evil intention in enslaving his own people with scorpion whips). In verse  4, Chapter 9 of the book of Revelation, they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree. The locusts were symbolically representing an 'encrypted' prophesied-future-plague, and this 'allegorical-spiritual vision' explained why they did not harm the literal vegetation.

     Those locusts were not referring to the literal-alien-locusts or the future genetically engineered species of insect, but merely the symbolic allegory of "fiat money" that has been enslaving the whole world.  Prophet Isaiah revealed in Isaiah 46: 10 that " the Lord makes known the end from the beginning; from ancient times, the things that still not come."  The Scriptural words such as "scorpions," "locusts," "face," and "horses" were the ancient biblical words which suggest slavery, plague, presence, and conferring strength for battles respectively.  Isaiah 46:10 "...declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, “My purpose shall stand, and I will fulfill my intention...”

     Dreadful economic collapses as revealed in Revelation 9:1-11 would someday be fulfilled, for a period of 5 months. "5-months" is the biological life-span of the locust, thus, its prophetic-symbolism unfolds the nature of  that volatile fiat monetary (prone to injustices). The former fixed-exchange system that began at Bretton Wood in 1944 lasted for 27 years only, an its (propheshied as locust's lifespan) functionality had come to an end. Another 'locust's lifespan' of the 'name' (another form of monetary) had emerged, but it was under the same hegemony from the same Cabal nations. In other words, fiat monetary would not come to an end, unless it ceases its Covenant/Agreement, or else it eventually dies out to be the medium of  "buying and selling" due to the future disastrous wars. The 'locust' whose 5-months life-span must die first, so that the slavery of 'scorpion whips' would come to an end. Thus, the word "5-months" does not define to be the exact literal 5-months period, but it rather  unfolds the nature of 'monetary' (one of the manifestations of the beasts' names)  which was the medium of 'buying and selling' for all nations.  Its enslaving power upon humanity won't cease, as if likened to be that allegorical 5 months-life-span of a locust. It lasts till the covenant is no longer in operation! It lasts till the practicality of that agreed ('covenanted') monetary itself dies out to be the practical medium of "buying and selling."  The 'name' which was sought after by the inhabitants of the earth in 'buying or selling' is the handiwork ('name') of the beast out of the earth : the 'monetary' encrypted as '666', and it  would precede the great world war  which was prophesied by St. John " I heard '200 millions troops' " from the voice of the Word.  The coming collapse of the present 'monetary' system based on the vulnerable fiat money would presage that war.  Money, ever since in the early 20th century had had financed two World Wars.

     "Mammonism," the fiat money, had brought forth endless injustices, sufferings of life, and great distress for many nations. Since our philosophies of education were descended from the tree of knowledge, then our adhered precepts say that 'monetaryis the modern 'source of life;' money has replaced the biblical precept which reveals that the Lord's Pass Over is the Source of life.  Thus, the 'locust-scourge' does not harm those who have the Seal of God. (See Rev.9: 1-6). The "Seal of God" means the presence of the Holy Spirit or the presence of the guardian angel. When fiat money becomes devalued or at worst, decommissioned, then only those who have strength in the presence of the Spirit of God that would see the meaning of life beyond the chaos and failures of the tangible realities of the wealth on earth.

     In verse 7, it unfolds the truth about world conquest through the "money-creation-powers" because those locusts ("currencies") looked like horses in the battlefields (for battle). Classic philosophy of world conquest elucidates three prerequisites to be fulfilled namely military might, political powers and economic power. The plague of "the locusts" revealed in Revelation 9 points to the 3rd category of world-conquest; the devastation brought forth by the phenomenon of economic conquests. The diabolic scorpion stings would be  manifested as evil economic maneuverings when the superpowers are ruled by the "tares."

    The name of man or the "mission/handiwork" of the anti-Christ-rulers , called 666, void of Divine wills, would be crumbling against their own conglomerates on earth. Christ is the Word because His "name" is the Word of God (Rev.19: 13). We know how the Divine Spirit works in all planes of existences because he reveals his wills through the word of God. Therefore, Antichrist simply means anti-Word: unbelieving and opposing the Word that became human, Yeshua Mashiach. In our naked eyes, Antichrist may not even be seen as evil, but merely manifesting the complete-human-mission denying the Word. Those locusts were spewed out from the abyss; the abyss 'spells out' the 'mission' of the rulers on earth with adorable new tower of babel. The 'end' of the modern tower of Babel was made known from the 'beginning' of the 'tower of Babel' (Isaiah 46: 10; see Genesis 11). The centralized "mission" i.e. monetary is the heart-beat for the daily activities of "buying and selling," and it is centralized in every nation with their respective central banks. It has been coiling up the inhabitants of the earth since the creation of the mothers of all towers, 'the BIS, the world bank and the IMF.' It was preceded by the BIS; the rulers (the beasts out of the sea and the beast out of the earth) were both the professing believers and the non-believers as revealed by the visions of St. John in the book of Revelation.

    In ancient times, the handiwork (name) of the wounded men was centralized at the tower of Babel, and they said "come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." Of course, the phrase "let us make bricks" does not intend to tell us anything about the history of brick-making, but it rather discloses the prophetic nature of the Words of God. The hearts of anti-Words (non-followers of God) men at Babel, therefore, did not yearn for the Manna from heaven.  Their hearts were merely prophesied to be as sold out into "brick-making." "Brick-making" is, therefore, a prophetic phrase which means "life without believing in God" as the Source of life.  They were "brick-makers or masons" building a tower with its top in the heaven. They were living their lives, as if they were the gods who decided their own fate and destiny. God or the Word of God was not included into the dictionaries of their lives.  Today, those masons are, in fact, our own-selves. However, we are not worldwide centralized to make 'bricks.'  We are centralized to be in the daily activities of "buying and selling." If you have the seal of God, then that means you are eating the Manna from heaven, and yet they are unable to disassociate themselves from the dictations of "buying and selling" because it was covenanted world-wide.

     The weird locusts in Revelation 9   that came upon the earth like horses in the battlefields were better narrated in Job 39.  God elucidated the behaviors of the horses in the battlefields;  20 Do you make it leap like the locust? Its majestic snorting is terrible. 21 It paws violently, exults mightily;  it goes out to meet the weapons.22 It laughs at fear, and is not dismayed;23  it does not turn back from the sword. Upon it rattle the quiver,  the flashing spear, and the javelin.24 With fierceness and rage it swallows the ground;  it cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet. 25 When the trumpet sounds, it says “Aha!”  From a distance it smells the battle, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

    The  woe of the fifth "trumpet" in Revelation 9 causes the battling currencies ("fiat money versus fiat money"), "crumbled" like the horses who ran off swallowing the ground in the battlefields.  God had foretold its fate because it had been enslaving mankind with innumerable injustices on earth; its dark-sides were rarely published in truth. Though born again believers could discern the hidden spirit behind the deceptions of that 'fiat money,' they are, indeed, powerless in escaping from it because every ruler from every nation on earth had literally agreed with  that covenant of death.  Every citizen, king, noble, rich, poor, slave or free man  in every nation, has become the slave or the worshipper of the ruler, and turning themselves as slaves to that covenant of fiat money.  Thus, the prevalent precept says "money is the source of life;" it is the "river of life" in our modern international communities.  How many peoples on earth who would genuinely hungry for His Word? Is there any person who could confess with his mouth from one's heart that  Christ, the perfect Lamb's Pass Over, is the Source of life? St. Peter said that the spirit is willing, but the mind is not willing.

    The injustices of fiat money had plagued humanity like "swarms of locusts" that devastate 'every crop of modern life.' When Fiat money failed, it would  rob us of every measurable wealth. In extreme crumbling effects of such money, created out of thin air, it leads us into  scarcities of basic needs, famines, wars, and even succumbing the strongest will-powered-men into dark hopelessness.  Unless the believers were endowed by the "seal" ("seal" means the presence of the Divine Holy Spirit or the presence of His ministering angels) of God, then even the spiritually mature men might be staggering.

     Those who do not have the seal of God valued money as the crown of life. Their existences (faces) on earth are valued by the face-values of those "locusts;" crowned with gold; they had been in existence since the dawn of human civilization on earth. Thus, it has human face like of a woman. It was somehow likened as having the role of 'motherhood' in human life.  Those locusts have the human faces just like the fiat-currency notes that portrayed the rulers' faces (gods~see Psalm 82)! The 'human-like' "faces" of the locusts unfold the future slavery when the presence of monetary is inseparable with human life on earth; their "presence" (face) brings forth the lethal sting of "scorpion" (slavery).  The presence of those "locusts" enslaves humanity.  How much money do you have? Their worthiness is literally measured with their "fiat money." The face (wealth) of money literally defines our existence on earth. Their hair were like woman's hair because fiat money become the 'motherhood' of all reasons for their existence; the reason to live and the reason to die.  And fiat money enslaved humanity like lion's teeth: it coils us up to dreadful 'death.'  (Rev.9: 7-8).

     Rev.9: 11 they (fiat money) had "as king" over them, the angel of the Abbys (whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Appollyon. (...means Destroyer; when the king of currencies falls into the hands of the 'freya-tares,' then the whole world would be stung like "the sting of a scorpion!").  The people of God on earth are the prophesied wheat, but the mission of the rulers on earth are distinguished by their association with the Abyss; the complete human mission on earth subtly inspired and manipulated by the Adversary.

   The Adversary since the dawn of monetary ('name') in human history had been subtly empowering his emissaries on earth, the rulers or superpowers, so that they could conquer the inhabitants of the earth: the Greek drachma, the Roman denarius,  the Arabian dinar, the Netherland-money, the Spanish dollars, the Pound Sterling, and the current hegemony of US fiat.  The mad spirit behind every world conquest could not be separated from "monetary."  Every conquered territory must be financed and replenished by money either by the real commodity-based money or by the fiat-money which are created out of nothing.

     ...the swarms of "locusts" came upon the earth. They were once spewed out by the erupting volcano; the Adversary knew very well how to laden the yoke of slavery upon the inhabitants of the world. They were once spewed out after the WWI and WWII. The adversary had his subtle agenda in enslaving mankind on earth.  The "name" or mission of men on earth, 666, subtly orchestrated by the Dragon, and her laws were enforced by the superpower of the world, prophesied as the "two horned-beast" out of the earth...in Rev.13. In verse 9: they had breastplates of iron because we cannot destroy them like killing the literal horses; we are enslaved by those fiat money. Verse 9-10:  we see economic conquests as classic conquest manifesting in the form of "wars;"  fiat money against fiat money. ...like thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.  Economic maneuverings through fiat money have become another dimension of diabolic wars on earth.

Verse 10: in the post Second Coming, there would be a period of time where those "locusts" were allowed to crumble upon those who did not have the seal of God for "a period of 5-months" (a cryptic phrase) or merely "a locust-lifespan."

     Any artistic-literal conception would rather comical. But, the vision as seen by St. John allegorically unfolds the future "fiat money" as according to the prophetic language of the Spirit.  St. Paul who had been endowed with the operations of the gifts of the seven-fold-Spirit wrote his  letter in 1 Timothy 6: 10, unto his spiritual-son, saying "for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains."  Jesus explained that those who prioritized the flesh was likened as the seeds 22... sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing." (Matthew 13: 22).  Jesus said in Luke 6: 24 “But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation."

Epilogue:

    This revelation does not intend to derogatorily propagate hatred towards money. We 'see' it that way because that is how we read the signs of times. We see the "mission" of men, and we see the  "mission" of the Word: two different agendas, opposing to each another. The "wheat" struggle to find Wisdom in surviving within those two opposing agendas in front of their eyes. The tares would walk in darkness. After-all, almost all nations had agreed with the Agreements and Treaties, otherwise we would be unable "to buy and to sell." Thus, our rulers created our own "locust" as well.  It enslaves us, but we do not have the choice.  Our governments tried to be shrewd in calculating the "mission."

     And, someday, in the near future, we would face great distress in figuring out the right calculations; all shrewdness would fail in seeking the right mathematical-economic-digest in upholding the modern-economic-views of "supply and demand."  The economic crashes would precede the prophesied 200 million troops of real literal wars on earth. The account of the distress brought forth by the "locusts" in Rev. 9: 1-11 would precede that prophesied wars. Revelation was given unto believers, so that they may know the things to come, and also that when it is fulfilled, they might be edified: you would be called blessed. The 'prophesied woman'  and also every follower or offspring of the 'woman' in Genesis 3: 15-16  must hold the true  "treasure" that promises eternal fullness of life. Prophet Isaiah revealed that such "treasure" would be the foundation of your life, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; "the fear of the Lord" is the key to this treasure (Isaiah 33: 6).


Yesaya 33: 6


Harta yang menyelamatkan roh manusia...
By Mannaseh 



"He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the ‘fear of the Lord’ is the KEY to this treasure." (Isaiah 33:6 (NIV) ).

"Karena siapa yang mempunyai akan diberi, sehingga ia berkelimpahan; tetapi siapa yang tidak mempunyai, apapun juga yang ada padanya akan diambil daripadanya." (Matius 13: 12).

     Hidup di dunia, banyaklah yang  kita dapat 'pegang' atau "miliki" menurut kemampuan intelek seseorang mahupun juga kemahiran-kemahiran yang ada pada seseorang; kau boleh pegang geran tanah, jadi pemegang saham, dan juga termasuk memegang janji setia kepada isteri, dan bermacam-macam lagi yang kita boleh usahakan untuk dimiliki atau 'dipegang.'  Siapa yang pandai memegang banyak kepandaian, maka dialah yang berpotensi untuk hidup maju di dunia! Kita mencari sesuatu yang boleh kita boleh 'pegang' atau miliki, supaya kita mempunyai makna untuk terus hidup berjuang di bumi. Orang yang tidak mempunyai sesuatupun untuk dipegang atau dimiliki akan menderita hidup, malah ada yang bunuh diri kerana tiada lagi yang harus dipegang untuk menjadikan hidup bermakna.

      Harga diri berkait rapat dengan apa yang kau 'pegang' di bumi, sama-ada ia segulung ijazah atau sesuatu yang berharga kepadamu, maka kau akan bersandar kepada apa yang kau pegang. Jika, dunia menghina mengenai apa yang kau pegang, boleh jadi kau akan murung, marah, kecewa, irihati atau berkecil hati.  Maka, berlumba-lumbalah 'manusia luka' untuk memegang "sesuatu" yang boleh mereka banggakan, dan menyebutnya sebagai yang bermakna atau harta-harta dalam kehidupan.  Orang percaya memegang dua jenis harta untuk membolehkan mereka mempunyai harga diri;  Harta kekayaan dunia dan harta kekayaan Sion. Sungguh malanglah kehidupan sekiranya, kita tidak memegang kedua-dua sekali harta tersebut! Kita memegang sesuatu yang kita yakini "berharga" di bumi, dan dengan usaha otak dan tenaga fizikal badan, samada menurut undang-undang ataupun melanggar undang-undang, samada dengan jujur atau dusta, melalui peperangan atau perjanjian perdamaian, kita pegang apa yang kita perjuangankan.   Itulah harta sementara di bumi. Kita perjuangankan apa yang berharga itu dengan apa cara sekalipun termasuklah mempertaruhkan nyawa kita sendiri!  Itulah harta!

       Akan tetapi, harta kekayaan yang kekal abadi, bagi pengikut Kristus adalah Harta Sion: ia adalah tujuh-lapis Roh Tuhan! Tuhan Yahweh ketika memberikan janji pembaharuan kepada umatnya, bani Ibrani yang tidak setia memegang perjanjian, menyingkapkan rahasia harta masa depan Sion (Gereja) dalam kitab Yesaya 33: 6.

     Nabi Yesaya menyampaikan mesej nubuatan, "masa keamanan akan tiba bagimu, kekayaan yang menyelamatkan ialah hikmat dan pengetahuan; takut akan Tuhan, itulah harta benda Sion (Yesaya 33:6). Banyaklah di antara kita yang berpendapat bahawa ilmu-ilmu untuk memegang harta benda Sion hanyalah layak di ulas oleh golongan elit, paderi, dan juga religius.  Namun, Yesus berfirman dengan jelas sekali;"...kepada kamu diberikan karunia untuk mengetahui rahasia tujuh-lapis Roh Tuhan..." Harta Sion iaitu Roh Kudus, dikaruniakan kepada setiap imamat rajani.  Maka roh hikmat itu datang dari operasi tujuh-lapis Karunia-karunia secara peribadi, walaupun kita di upacarakan dalam sakramen yang satu.  Operasi tujuh-lapis Roh Kudus haruslah di seru setiap hari sebagaimana kita menyeru "nama" Jalan, Pintu, dan Kunci: Kristus. Operasi datang kerana doa.

     Dalam perjalanan iman, setiap pengikut Kristus dapat 'bertumbuh-percaya' kerana roh orang percaya yang setia dalam 'makan'~ Manna. "Makan" kerana didorong oleh operasi "roh takut akan Tuhan" yang menyebabkan "lapar."   Jika tiada makan, maka tiadalah pertumbuhan rohani. Membaca Firman tanpa berdoa adalah pengertian tahap mental. Tetapi, 'berdoa dan membaca' Firman adalah tahap rohani; inilah yang dimaksudkan makan. Tuhan tidak akan turun dengan menganugerahkan operasi roh hikmat dan roh pengertian, jikalau tidak ada kesetiaan "makan" yang senantiasa berkesinambungan.  Raja Daud menyingkapkan kunci bergaul karib dengan Roh Tuhan seperti lirik lagunya dalam  Mazmur 25: 14;  "Tuhan bergaul karib dengan orang yang takut akan Tuhan dan memberitahukan rahsia-rahsia Perjanjian kepada mereka." (Mazmur 25:14).
                           
Operasi Karunia "takut akan Tuhan:" Harta Sion (Yes.33:6).

 Mereka yang karib dengan Tuhan adalah mereka yang dianugerahkan operasi karunia "roh takut akan Tuhan;" karunia itu senantiasa melekat pada Roh Kudus.  Justeru itu,  ia datang dan pergi, maka ia harus di seru siang dan malam supaya kita dianugerahkan hadiratNya.

     Yesus berfirman bahawa apabila roh penghiburan (Roh Kudus) itu datang; "jikalau Penghibur yang akan Kuutus dari Bapa datang, yaitu Roh Kebenaran yang keluar dari Bapa, Ia akan bersaksi tentang Aku."(Yoh. 15:26).  Operasi karunia "roh pengertian" ada pada Roh Kudus, maka "roh pengertian" inilah yang akan memberikan pengenalan akan yang Mahakudus. Semakin kerap ia turun, maka semakin cepatlah kita mengenali yang Mahakudus.

      Kebijaksanaan Raja Sulaiman jelas sekali memberikan kesaksian bahawa Roh hikmat dan roh pengertian adalah didahului oleh operasi "roh takut akan Tuhan." Walaupun tujuh-lapis karunia itu ada pada Roh Kudus iaitu melekat bersama-sama serentak, namun operasinya jelas disingkapkan oleh firman Tuhan. Karunia "roh takut akan Tuhan" inilah yang "switching on"  roh si penerima anugerah Tuhan, supaya rohnya mula menanggapi realiti Roh Tuhan, ataupun ia disebut sebagai "permulaan hikmat." 

     Roh Hikmat ialah realiti Kristus kerana di dalam Kristuslah terpendam segala hikmat. Jika engkau mula mendengar suaraNya, mula melihat penglihatan-penglihatan, dan mula bermimpi realiti Roh Tuhan, maka itulah yang dimaksudkan "permulaan Hikmat." Dan, inilah juga yang di namakan permulaan "relationship with Christ."  Dari titik ini, pengikut-pengikut Kristus memulakan perjalanan iman sebagai manusia rohani yang dewasa. Mereka yang disebut 'ranting sebenar kepada Pokok anggur yang sebenar' adalah mereka yang "prophesying, seeing visions, Dan dreaming dreams." (Joel 2: 28).

       Raja Sulaiman yang ternyata lebih dahulu mengenali operasi karya Roh Tuhan-tujuh lapis karunia, berbanding dengan kita, iaitu semasa pemerintahannya antara tahun 1017 BC hingga 978 BC dahulukala. Kesaksiannya membahagikan pengertian kepada kita bahawa "Permulaan hikmat adalah takut akan Tuhan (Roh), dan mengenal Yang Mahakudus adalah pengertian (Roh)"(Amsal 9:10).

      Maka, dalam menelusuri perjalanan iman, setiap orang percaya haruslah memegang apa yang diberikan kepadanya iaitu tujuh-lapis Roh Kudus. Tuhan itu Maha-adil kerana kekuatan iman adalah hadirat tujuh-lapis Roh Kudus, dan juga mungkin hadirat malaikat-malaikat yang diutus oleh Bapa, dan bukannya terletak pada kemampuan intelek manusia.   Tanpa urapan atau hadirat Roh Kudus, maka tiadalah kekuatan untuk meneruskan perjalanan iman, dan jika demikian "rumput hijaupun menjadi layu;"  orang dewasapun terhuyung-hayang berjalan.  

     Tanpa kekuatan roh untuk melakukan kehendak-kehendak Roh Tuhan, maka kita akan hanya berpaut pada kekuatan minda/otak. Dan minda/otak itu adalah pusat kehidupan daging. Sedangkan, Kehendak-kehendak Roh Tuhan ataupun Firman dilaksanakan dengan kekuatan Roh tujuh-lapis iaitu urapan hadirat Roh Kudus. Dengan kekuatan yang dianugerahkan oleh Roh Kudus, barulah ada kemenangan. Tiada kemenangan bagi mereka yang melakukan kehendak Firman dengan kekuatan otak.

   Setiap yang mengerti kehendak Tuhan akan melakukan kehendaknya dengan pengakuan bahawa, tanpa Kristus adalah mustahil sekali untuk diperkenan oleh Allah Bapa. "1 Akulah pokok anggur yang benar dan Bapa-Kulah pengusahanya. Akulah pokok anggur dan kamulah ranting-rantingnya.5 Barangsiapa tinggal di dalam Aku dan Aku di dalam dia, ia berbuah banyak, sebab di luar Aku kamu tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa.(Yohanes 15: 1, 5).  Di luar Jalan, Pintu dan Kunci, kita tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa. Roh Kristus berbicara "Aku datang segera. Peganglah apa yang ada padamu, supaya tidak seorang pun mengambil mahkotamu."(Wahyu 3:11). 

     Apakah yang engkau pegang? Harta Sion, harta dunia atau kedua-duanya sekali!  Harta dunia tidaklah disangkal sangat penting meskipun untuk kehidupan sementara sahaja sewaktu dibaluti daging, namun kehidupan kekal abadi menuntut kita untuk memegang "Harta Sion."  Yesaya menyingkapkan "Masa keamanan (zaman Raja Damai) akan tiba bagimu; KEKAYAAN yang MENYELAMATKAN ialah hikmat dan pengetahuan; takut akan Tuhan, itulah harta benda Sion.(Yesaya 33:6).  Bagaimana kau pegang harta itu? Kita memegangnya dengan kerendahan roh (lowly in spirit), mengakui betapa roh kita tiada nafas kehidupan kekal, sekiranya tanpa Kristus, dan pengakuan yang tidak putus-putus itu adalah manifestasi perbuatan  untuk menjadi ranting kepada Pokok sebenar. Yesus bersabda "di mana hartamu berada, di situ juga hatimu berada" (Matius 6:21).

     Sebagaimana ranting itu tidak berupaya untuk hidup sendiri, tanpa melekat pada pokoknya, maka demikianlah "design" roh kita yang memerlukan "ketergantungan" pada ketujuh-tujuh lapis Roh Tuhan. Kerana roh kita berasal dari 'biji benih roh' Adam yang "luka," dan kita senantiasa menambahi luka-lukanya setiap hari, maka tiadalah henti-henti kita memerlukan 'kesetiaan' pengampunan Kristus. Sebagaimana daging memerlukan 'makanan dan minuman' untuk terus hidup, demikianlah jugalah 'ranting' itu harus terus tergantung penuh kepada pokoknya untuk 'hidup.'  Kerana Kristus berfirman "...di luar Aku, kamu tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa (Yoh 15: 5). "...dia tertikam oleh karena pemberontakan kita, dia diremukkan oleh karena kejahatan kita; ganjaran yang mendatangkan keselamatan bagi kita ditimpakan kepadanya, dan oleh bilur-bilurnya kita menjadi sembuh."(Yesaya 53:5)

     Jika hari esok, kita masih buat "luka-luka" hidup, maka berharaplah dan bersandarlah kepada 'nama' Tuhan, iaitu 'kesetiaan' Kristus. Janganlah berpaut kepada kekuatan diri sendiri, iaitu kapasiti intelek manusiawi dalam mengharungi perjalanan iman.  Kita diterima oleh Roh Allah Bapa kerana 'kesetiaan' Kristus, biarpun kita ternyata tidak setia! "Siang dan malam tak henti-hentilah" kesetiaan Kristus!  Hanya Kristus sahaja yang 100% setia menggenapi dan menyempurnakan Firman! Maka, berpautlah kepada sifat "kesetiaan" Kristus yang memberikan kemenangan ke atas dosa-dosa, kerana namaNya adalah "yang setia dan adil." Janganlah usahakan kesetiaanmu menurut kekuatan kapasiti intelek, sehingga raut wajah menjadi 'sangat serius,' seperti buah papaya yang lonjong! Selagi roh berbicara bahawa pergantian siang dan malam belum berhenti, iaitu 'misi' Tuhan masih berbuyi: "Siang dan malam tak henti-henti," maka kesetiaan Domba Tuhan tidak akan berhenti menghapuskan dosa-dosa! Hanya selepas siang menjadi "tanpa siang" dan malam menjadi "tanpa malam," maka kesetiaan Domba Tuhan yang menghapuskan dosa-dosa dunia akan ditutup! Pintu Domba Tuhan akan ditutup oleh 'nama' Tuhan: Hakim.  Namun, jikalau kita ada 'roh' Pengertian, maka Hakim juga masih memiliki sifat-sifat roh yang 'sama' dengan 'roh' Domba Tuhan walaupun 'tanda-tanda' hadirat bagi kedua-dua 'misi' Tuhan itu dapat dibedakan.

     Jika roh kita selamat sampai sorga, maka itu adalah anugerah Tuhan, dan ia bukanlah hasil usaha kita. Harta Sion iaitu 'sevenfold Spirit of Menorah' adalah Karunia "takut akan Tuhan." Ia adalah Roh Kristus. Kerana kesetiaan Kristuslah, maka kita dapat mempersembahkan korban syukur, siang dan malam.  Jika keselamatan bergantung kepada kesetiaan kita, maka sudah tentu sukarlah sekali untuk selamat, mahupun untuk mengucap syukur! Keselamatan dianugerahkan kerana kasih-setia Kristus dan 'nama' Tuhan yang tidak berubah (Kitab Keluaran 34: 6).

    Kita selamat kerana Firman tidak gagal dalam kesetiaanNya. Bukankah NamaNya adalah "Firman Allah" dan "Firman" itu "Yang Setia dan Yang Benar." (1 Yoh. 1 : 9; Wahyu 19: 13 ; Why. 19: 11). Kita dianjurkan untuk mengasihi sesama manusia kerana ia adalah perintah Kasih. Jika kita mengasihi, maka kita adalah sahabat-sahabat Yesus. " 9 Seperti Bapa telah mengasihi Aku, demikianlah juga Aku telah mengasihi kamu; tinggallah di dalam kasih-Ku itu.10 Jikalau kamu menuruti perintah Ku, kamu akan tinggal di dalam kasih-Ku, seperti Aku menuruti perintah Bapa-Ku dan tinggal di dalam kasih-Nya.12 Inilah perintah-Ku, yaitu supaya kamu saling mengasihi, seperti Aku telah mengasihi kamu.14 Kamu adalah sahabat-Ku, jikalau kamu berbuat apa yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu. (Yoh.15:9-10,12,14) Rasul Paulus bersaksi bahawa 'sebelum iman itu datang, kita(Ibrani) berada di bawah pengawalan hukum Taurat, dan dikurung sampai iman itu telah dinyatakan. Jadi hukum Taurat adalah penuntun bagi kita (Ibrani) sampai Kristus datang, supaya kita dibenarkan karena iman.(Galatia 3: 23-24). Paulus melihat bahawa seluruh Hukum Taurat tercakup dalam satu Firman ini yaitu "kasihilah sesamamu manusia seperti dirimu sendiri" (Galatia  5:14). Hukum yang kelima sehingga kesepuluh dalam Ten Commandments, sebenarnya menyingkap mesej perihal "mengasihi sesama manusia." Bila kita gagal menurutinya (Dua Hukum Kasih), maka kita perlu percaya 100 % kepada 'kesetiaan' Kristus, dan mengakui dosa-dosa kepada Domba Tuhan. Kerana kesetiaan Kasih Kristus yang jelas dinyatakan oleh karyaNya yang sempurna-setia, sebagai "Domba Tuhan yang menghapus dosa-dosa dunia," maka kita dapat mempersembahkan korban syukur, selama siang dan malam tak henti-henti masih berlanjutan, sehinggalah pergantian "siang dan malam" itu akan berhenti...kelak pada Matius 24: 29 atau Zechariah 14: 5, 6 & 7. Apabila pergantian siang dan malam berhenti, maka bolehlah kita meneruskan dalam menyeru 'nama' Tuhan yang Immutable (sifat-sifat roh Ilahi yang tidak berubah), sebagaimana yang diajarkan oleh Roh Pengertian dalam Kitab Keluaran 34: 5-7.

    Justeru itu, "...apa yang ada padamu, peganglah itu sampai Aku datang." (Why 2: 25). "Karena siapa yang mempunyai kepadanya akan diberi, tetapi siapa yang tidak mempunyai, apapun juga yang ada padanya akan diambil daripadanya" (Mat. 13: 12). Maka, jadilah "ranting sebenar" kepada Pokok anggur yang sebenar supaya kamu dapat memegang "apa yang diberikan kepadamu."!
