"Aku datang segera. Peganglah apa yang ada padamu, supaya tidak seorang pun mengambil mahkotamu."(Wahyu 3:11).

"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).



    "Dan tuliskanlah kepada malaikat jemaat di Filadelfia: Inilah firman dari Yang Kudus, Yang Benar, yang memegang kunci Daud; apabila Ia membuka, tidak ada yang dapat menutup; apabila Ia menutup, tidak ada yang dapat membuka" (Wahyu 3: 7). Pengikut Kristus yang percaya kepada anugerah Sevenfold Spirit of God seperti yang dinubuatkan oleh nabi Yesaya dalam kitab Yesaya 11 adalah orang-orang percaya yang mungkin tergolong sebagai orang Kristian 'seperti' jemaat di Filadelfia. Mereka adalah penerima-penerima berkat Si Pemegang kunci raja Daud.

     Hidup di dunia pada masa-masa yang aman dan zaman Perjanjian Damai memungkinkan peluang yang banyak untuk kita dapat memegang atau "memiliki" apa saja menurut kemampuan intelek seseorang, ataupun menurut kemahiran yang ada pada seseorang. Kita boleh pegang geran tanah, jadi pemegang saham, malah boleh juga 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 mungkin berpotensi untuk hidup maju di dunia ini! Kita mencari sesuatu yang boleh kita 'pegang' atau miliki, supaya kita mempunyai makna untuk hidup berjuang di bumi ini. 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 berdaging ini bermakna.

   Harga diri berkait rapat dengan apa yang kita 'pegang' di bumi, sama-ada ia segulung ijazah ataupun sesuatu yang berharga kepadamu, maka kau akan bersandar kepada apa yang kau pegang. Jika, dunia menghina mengenai apa yang kita pegang, boleh jadi kita akan murung, marah, kecewa, irihati atau berkecil hati. Maka, berlumba-lumbalah 'manusia luka' untuk memegang "sesuatu" yang boleh mereka banggakan, dan menyebutnya sebagai sesuatu yang bermakna atau kita sebut sebagai harta-harta dalam kehidupan (treasures). Orang percaya memegang dua jenis harta untuk membolehkan mereka mempunyai harga diri; Harta kekayaan dunia dan harta kekayaan Sion. Sungguh malanglah sekiranya dalam kehidupan ini, 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 akan pegang apa yang kita perjuangkan.   Itulah harta sementara di bumi. Kita perjuangankan apa yang berharga itu dengan apa cara sekalipun termasuklah mempertaruhkan nyawa kita sendiri!  Namun, di mana hartamu berada, di situ juga hatimu berada. 

Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan frasa nubuat: "Peganglah apa yang ada padamu..." ?

   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) melalui mulutNya, Nabi Yesaya seperti mesej yang tertulis 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 ahli-ahli teologia, paderi, dan juga golongan 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 daripada operasi tujuh-lapis Karunia-karunia secara peribadi, walaupun pada pandangan agamawi kita telah di upacarakan dalam sakramen yang satu. Operasi Roh Kudus haruslah di seru setiap kali berdoa, sebagaimana kita menyeru "nama-nama Tuhan." Di sepanjang zaman Perdamaian, Jalan, Pintu, dan Kunci ialah Kristus. Operasi karunia-karunia Roh Tujuh Lapis datang kerana doa. Harta Sion itu ada pada setiap peribadi 'nama-nama' Tuhan! Roh Pengertian menyatakan bahawa 'nama-nama' Tuhan seringkasnya dijelaskan dalam Kitab Keluaran 34: 6.

     Dalam perjalanan iman, setiap pengikut Kristus dapat 'bertumbuh rohani' kerana roh orang percaya yang senantiasa 'makan' Manna Sorgawi. "Makan" kerana didorong oleh operasi Karunia "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. Berdoa memungkinkan Firman yang tersingkap terjadi; "Bila tersingkap, firman-firman-Mu memberi terang (Roh), memberi (roh) pengertian kepada orang-orang bodoh" (Mazmur 119: 130). 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). Menjadi ranting sebenar kepada Pokok anggur yang Benar adalah anugerah Tuhan kepada mereka yang tertulis namanya di dalam buku Kehidupan.
                           

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. Ia beroperasi dalam 'roh doa.'

     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." (Yoel 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 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 Tuhan, maka kita akan hanya dapat berpaut pada kekuatan kapasiti intelek. Dan 'kapasiti intelek' itu adalah pusat kehidupan daging. Kehendak-kehendak Roh Tuhan (Firman ) hanya dapat dilaksanakan dengan sumber kekuatan daripada 'tujuh Karunia-karunia Roh,' iaitu urapan hadirat Roh Kudus. Dengan kekuatan yang dianugerahkan oleh Roh Kudus, maka barulah ada kemenangan dalam perjalanan rohani. Tiada kemenangan rohani bagi mereka yang melakukan kehendak 'Firman Allah' dengan kekuatan kapasiti intelek.

   Setiap orang percaya yang mengerti kehendak Tuhan akan melakukan kehendakNya dengan pengakuan bahawa, tanpa Kristus, maka adalah mustahil sekali untuk diperkenankan oleh Roh 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,' maka kita tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa dalam urusan doa Bapa Kami. 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 di dunia ataupun kedua-duanya sekali!  Harta dunia tidaklah dapat disangkal kepentingannya, meskipun untuk kehidupan sementara sahaja , sewaktu dibaluti daging, namun kehidupan kekal abadi menuntut kita untuk memegang "Harta Sion." Nabi Yesaya menyingkapkan bahawa "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 (poor in spirit), mengakui betapa roh kita tiada nafas kehidupan untuk melaksanakan ibadah roh! Kita mengakui bahawa tanpa Kristus Kita tidak dapat melakukan kehendak Tuhan, dan pengakuan ketergantungan kita itu yang tidak putus-putus adalah manifestasi sebagai 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 tanpa melekat pada pokoknya, maka demikianlah "design" roh kita yang memerlukan "ketergantungan" pada ketujuh-tujuh karunia-karunia Roh Tuhan. Roh kita berasal dari benih nenek moyang yang "luka," dan kita pula, senantiasa menambahi 'luka-luka' kita sendiri; maka tiadalah henti-henti kita memerlukan Kristus. Sebagaimana daging memerlukan makanan untuk terus hidup, demikian jugalah ranting itu harus terus tergantung terpaut kepada pokok untuk hidup. 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 kesetiaan Kristus, dan juga bersandarkan kepada 'nama-nama' Tuhan yang disingkapkan oleh Roh Pengertian. Janganlah bersandar kepada kekuatan diri sendiri.  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 Allah kerana "...namaNya ialah Firman Allah" (Wahyu 19: 13). Maka, berpautlah kepada "kesetiaan Kristus" yang memberikan kemenangan ke atas dosa-dosa; janganlah usahakan kesetiaanmu menurut kekuatan kapasiti intelek, sehingga raut wajah menjadi sangat serius sehingga hilanglah sukacita kepada kehidupan daging.  Selagi roh berbicara bahawa pergantian siang dan malam belum berhenti, maka kesetiaan Domba Tuhan tidak akan berhenti menghapuskan dosa-dosa!

     Jika roh kita selamat sampai di sorga, maka itu adalah anugerah Roh 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 selama siang dan malam itu bersilih ganti. Jika keselamatan bergantung kepada kesetiaan kita, maka sudah tentu sukarlah sekali untuk selamat dan sukarlah juga untuk mengucap syukur! Keselamatan dianugerahkan kerana kasih-setia Kristus dan juga anugerah 'nama-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 (orang 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). Bila kita gagal menurutinya (Dua Hukum Kasih), maka kita perlu percaya 100 % kepada kesetiaan Kristus, dan mengakui dosa-dosa kepada Domba Tuhan. 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 kita masih boleh meneruskan untuk menyeru 'nama-nama' Tuhan yang Immutable (tidak berubah) sebagaimana yang diajarkan oleh Roh Pengertian dalam Kitab Keluaran 34: 6.

    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."! 

11 Dan Aku tidak ada lagi di dalam dunia, tetapi mereka masih ada di dalam dunia, dan Aku datang kepada-Mu. Ya Bapa yang kudus, peliharalah mereka dalam nama-Mu, yaitu nama-Mu yang telah Engkau berikan kepada-Ku, supaya mereka menjadi satu sama seperti Kita. 12 Selama Aku bersama mereka, Aku memelihara mereka dalam nama-Mu, yaitu nama-Mu yang telah Engkau berikan kepada-Ku; Aku telah menjaga mereka dan tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang binasa selain dari pada dia yang telah ditentukan untuk binasa, supaya genaplah yang tertulis dalam Kitab Suci (Yohanes 17: 11-12).

11 Aku datang segera. Peganglah apa yang ada padamu, supaya tidak seorangpun mengambil mahkotamu. 12 Barangsiapa menang, ia akan Kujadikan sokoguru di dalam Bait Suci Allah-Ku, dan ia tidak akan keluar lagi dari situ; dan padanya akan Kutuliskan nama Allah-Ku, nama kota Allah-Ku, yaitu Yerusalem baru, yang turun dari sorga dari Allah-Ku, dan nama-Ku yang baru (Wahyu 3: 11-12).

the shattering of power of the holy people of God....(without hyperlink version)

6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upstream, “How long shall it be until the end of these wonders?” 7 The man clothed in linen, who was upstream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven. And I heard him swear by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end, all these things would be accomplished(Daniel 12: 6-7)

                     

    His 'name' is the Word of God (Revelation 19: 13). In prophecy, 'name' means 'handiwork'.  Divine handiwork originate from divine characters /attributes; divine name are, therefore, flowing from the divine Immutable attributes. In truth, we don't address divine attributes with ordinary word such as 'character.' However, for the sake of intellectual comprehension, we have to use human language such as the base-word 'character' in describing the attributes of Divine Spirit. But, when we begin to walk into the "beginning of Wisdom," we eventually be familiar with the language of the Spirit of Prophecy. The spirit of Prophecy teaches us that divine 'mission' or divine 'character' is simply addressed with the word "name." "His name is Mercy” which is the language of the Spirit of Prophecy. That means divine attribute such as 'mercy' is essentially becoming his "name" or "mission." In our "entering the chamber," we are doing businesses with the divine personae whose spirit that flows as revealed by his "name." All divine "names" that flow from the same One Spirit of God are, therefore, sharing the same "Word of God." Yeshua who came as a man is the perfect manifestation of the Word of God that ever seen by naked eyes on Earth as according to the Order of Melchizedek. That is the reason why St. John wrote, "In the beginning was the Word..." The gate of the Prince of Peace is accessible through the presence of the Holy Ghost. The key in unlocking the doors remains unchanged i.e. the seven-fold gifts of the Holy Spirit.

"Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors! That the King of glory may come in" (Psalm 24: 7)

    The ancient gates are referring to the Immutable names of the Ancient One. Those names were revealed unto mankind according to the working power of the spirit of Understanding and also according to the Order of Melchizedek. They were sharing the exact and the same the Word of God; it is flowing in the Spirit of Prophecy. The Word of God is covenanted in the Personae of Yeshua, the Lamb of God, and therefore Yeshua's name is the Word of God. The Word of God belongs to all revealed divine names according to the Order of Melchizedek: all revelations are therefore in the Spirit of Prophecy! The ancient gates are the immutable divine characters. The divine handiwork (Immutable divine name) are flowing from those divine Immutable characters. His immutable attributes are, therefore, essentially his handiwork a.k.a divine name!

   Every follower of the High Priest of Melchizedek Order whose name is written in the book of Life, is exhorted to lift up the divine names above all human 'names' (human handiworks), in order to see the blessings flowing through those ancient doors or ancient gates. The realities of divine blessings from those ancient gates neither be invoke-able through "woven-fig leaves" righteousness nor through mere human intellectual digests; the blessing is simply be received through the gift of the Seven-fold Gifts of the Spirit: "the fear of the Lord." The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. Wisdom is the divine Personae of all those 'ancient gates': the Immutable names of God. 

   

The simple revelation of how the power of the holy people be shattered...

6 On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light (Zechariah 14: 6-7).

    The seemingly "day and night will never cease" in Genesis 8: 22 would, at an appointed time, becomes "no distinction between day and night" as in Zechariah 14: 6-7. The age of Peace as Covenanted by the Prince of Peace (the Lamb of God) would come to an end. The terminus of 'Peace' is poetically made known by Genesis 8: 21-22 and Zechariah 14: 6-7. The 'end' of peace with God also points to new 'name' of God proclaimed by the 'sky' as in Matthew 24: 29; Psalm 19: 1-2; Psalm 50: 3-6; Revelation 6: 13-14.

  “…the skies proclaim the work of his hands ['name'] ” (Psalm 19: 1 b)

    Prophet Asaph who was once the royal archivist during the reign of King Hezekiah wrote the lyrics of his song in Psalm 50: 4-6 : “He summons the heavens above, and the earth, to judge His people: 5  “Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice [atonement].” 6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge.” The ‘Judge’ is the divine 'mission' in accomplishing the mission in Judging and punishing the inhabitants of the earth during the Chastisement period after the second returned of Christ.  

Noah entered into the Ark 7 days prior to outpouring of the floodgates of heaven and the gushing forth of deep waters from the earth. Noah embarked into the ark and then all the elected pair of animals went into  their chambers inside the Ark.And on the seventh day, God’s hand shut off the door of the ark. 'The ark of Noah was always pointing to  any covenant between God and people of God on earth. Noah became the shipbuilder who built the ark according to the ‘exact’ dimensions given by the Word of God. So, the doers of the Word of God ought to follow the will of God exactly, as unfolded through the Word of God, just as Noah who built the dimensions of the ark 'exactly' according to the Word of God. Christ came 'exactly' according to the will of the Father in heaven. So, that explain the reason why learn put our trust in Christ. Those ‘elect’ are considered to be in the ark of the Covenant of God. 

The ‘elect’ are exhorted to enter into the covenant of Peace as long as the ‘gate’ of the Prince of Peace is not yet being shut off by the hand of God.  We know that every ship has her compartments or chambers. We know also that every covenanted people of God is spiritually considered to be in the Ark. However, it is not sufficient as merely entering into the ark, but every believer must learn to enter into their own chamber. “Entering into one’s chamber” means remaining into the mode of watchfulness in the Spirit of prayer! Thus, every covenanted people of God must be anointed by the seven-fold spirit, just as what Yeshua had revealed through parable of the ten virgins and the Coming Bridegroom. In other words, every believer is exhorted  to master the Spirit of Prayer. Those who have been endowed with the gift of the fear of the Lord are surely able to pass through the 'gate' of the Judge. The Lord Almighty God said in Job 28: 28  “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;  And to depart from evil is understanding.” Prophet Isaiah revealed unto us that the preparation in anticipating the coming the dreadful Judge would be constantly via the Spirit of prayer.  It is not only ‘entering into the Covenant of Peace,’ but also each believer is conscientiously ‘entering into our own chamber.’ The Lord exhorted each one of us:  “20 Come, my people, enter your 'chambers,' and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past. 21 For the Lord comes out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no longer cover its slain” (Isaiah 26: 20-21, New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition)

     Who would shut off the door of the covenant of peace? The Word of God said that it is the hand of God who would shut off the ‘door’ or the ‘gate’ of the Lamb of God, just as, in ancient times, where the hand of God that had had closed the door of the Ark of Noah. The hand of God is the handiwork of God. The handiwork of God means the ‘name’ of God. So, the ‘name’ called Judge is undeniably the One that would shut off the gate of the Covenant of Peace. Christ once said: “ I am the Gate...” He was the gate of the Covenant of Peace. So, it was the Prince of Peace that had opened up the gate of Peace throughout the Peace Age.  However, God would fulfill the 'wonders' on earth just as prophesied by the servants the prophets of God. Therefore, he must shut off the gate of Peace, prior to the opening up of the gate of the Judge on earth.  It is the Coming Dreadful Judge who would shut off the door of the Prince of Peace (the Lamb of God). The ‘shut off’ door of the Prince of Peace would cause the absence of Christ's Advocacy on earth, thus, resulting “the shattering of power of the holy people.” The holy people would then experience Chastisement period for a time, times, and half a time.

    When would the gate of the Prince of Peace would shut off? We would be in great trouble, if we lack understanding and wisdom. But, the Holy Ghost unfolds the word of God, that we should become the readers of the signs of times. The weathers' forecasters (literal minded believers) are surely unable to read the 'signs' in the spirit realms!  The descending ‘moment’  of the Judge would be identifiable by reading through the manifested signs in heaven, the signs in the sky and the signs on earth. The ‘signs’ in those three different spirit realms must be simultaneously seen through 'visions' by the seers, and only then we could say that the Judge was most probably already on earth. In heaven, we would see the sign as depicted by the vision of “the rolling up of heavens (the opening up seven-layered heavens~ see The Acts 1: 6-11) like a scroll; in the ‘sky,’ we would see the ‘sign’ as prophesied in Mathew 24: 29, and on earth, the signs would somehow like in Revelation 8: 5 where we could see 'visions' of the peals of thunders, the peals of lightnings, the storms (the ‘whirlwind’~ see Nahum chapter 1), and the earthquakes. So, every seer must be watchful of those three different spirit realms, and they must be watchful in ‘seeing’ any known sign manifested in those three spirit's realms. The alignment of scriptural signs seen through visions or dream dreams in those three planes of spirit's realms would guide us into knowing the ‘momentous event’ of the great day of the Lord!  

    The door of the Covenanted divine name i.e. the Lamb of God,  already ceasing in empowering the Covenant people (the Church), and it would be completely closed down the 'Peace age' at an appointed time. Surely the Judge would not greet us with  the greeting we used to hearing during the Peace Age: "peace be with you!."  "A time" would be the beginning of a period called "the shattering of the people of God!!" It spans for "a time, times and half a time." Churches would be without [spiritual] power as harvesters of souls on earth. All people of God either small or great, noble or ordinary men would go through the Chastisement period. The harvesters, the mighty angels of God, under the Command of the Judge, who judges in equity, would replace the role of the Churches who were once the empowered reapers on earth. It was prophesied through Prophet Daniel long time ago: 

6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upstream, “How long shall it be until the end of these wonders?” 7 The man clothed in linen, who was upstream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven. And I heard him swear by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end, all these things would be accomplished(Daniel 12: 6-7).

    "The shattering of the power of the holy people" takes effect as soon as the Gate of the guarantor of the Covenant of Peace is closed! As the gate is closing down, the power of harvesting once endowed upon the Church would be taken away, thus it is prophesied --"evening comes" ; we would see unripened fruits of the fig tree falling down, as the late strong wind blows the tree. It is rather seen as a spiritual consequence of 'the shut off door' of the Lamb of God. The new divine 'name', Judge, would not continue in taking away the sins of the world. It (the Prince of Peace) was once his mission, the mission throughout the Peace Age. The people of God are exhorted, therefore, to enter into their own chambers prior to that closing down of the Operation of Grace under the Covenant of Peace. We are exhorted to become genuine branches of the true Vine. Only through the gift of the "fear of the Lord" that would enable us to become the "true branches." It means dependency upon God (Psalm 25: 14).  It is through the Spirit of Prayer that ones could learn to call upon the Ancient Gates or Ancient Doors: entering into the presence of the 'Immutable names' of God. When the patriarch Job entered into a judgment period, the guardian angels seemed to have had folded up their hands, abandoning him without any sign of hope. Even the Adversary, Lucifer, was allowed by God to peel off Job's skins, and since then... 'Every Jobs' in the Kingdom of God have to learn the lesson of the gift of "the fear of the Lord." The gift counsels every 'branch' of the True Vine, in admitting that "apart from thee (God's name), we are nothing." ...and therefore...they say, “I have seen his face." !

Job's family in the book of Job elucidated the meaning of the prophesied "the shattering of power of the holy people."

                           

   Job's family seemed to 'serve as the extraordinary specimen' of a God-fearing family who went through the period of divine chastisement or trials; the crumbling walls of life that fell upon every facet of Job's life had had inspired millions of people who went through similar trials or even through divine 'judgment! It was purposely written, so that every child of God would be counselled, comforted and edified by the proper impartations of knowledge and wisdom in enduring the 'distress' during darkness or chastisement. Job experienced the distress of chastisement! And yet, he endured the chastisement by trusting in the Immutable names of God. 

    Later, in Job 28: 28, he witnessed that "the fear of the Lord is (the beginning) Wisdom!" It was this 'gift', the fear of the Lord, which steadfastly kept his faith in the goodness of all names of God. Nonetheless, his wife reacted negatively towards Job's unwavering trust in his God. She ended up losing hope in the 'name' of God, and thus, her desperate disappointment clearly explained that she was truly offended by Job's God! 9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” (Job 2: 9-10). As we wade through the period of Chastisement, our belief could turn into unbelief. We are tempted to end up like Job's wife who said: Curse God and die! This could be fallen upon us, when severe sufferings nullify all reasons to believe in God who promises protection and love!

   The people of God already entered into the period, “a time," i.e. the distress prior to His Second Return.  We anticipate severe sufferings, and physical and material losses just like what Job had gone through in those days! We are easily tempted into cursing God's names in hard trials. The people of God must emulate Job's steadfast trust in divine Immutable names! Prophet Isaiah counselled every sojourner: 

10 Who among you fears the Lord

    and obeys the voice of his servant,

who walks in darkness

    and has no light,

yet trusts in the name of the Lord

    and relies upon his God?

11  But all of you are kindlers of fire,

    Lighters of firebrands.

Walk in the flame of your fire and among

the brands that you have kindled!

This is what you shall have from my hand:

you shall lie down in torment.(Isaiah 50: 10-11)

     37 For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man(Matthew 24: 37-39). 

    . ..As in the day of Noah, he entered 'a time' (7 days-period) prior to that coming Judgment. So, in the same manner, "a time" would presage a period of 7 years of our final "entering your chamber" under the covenanted 'name,' Prince of Peace. The "name" of Prince of Peace would cease in greeting us "Peace be with you." Those 7 years-period would point to the presaging typology of a particular 'a time' of Noah’s embarking into the Ark: transition period of time between 'two' divine names! The present signs of times are somehow serve to be the 'ticking clock' which points to that transition period in which the people of God are exhorted to embrace the 'five wise virgins' spiritual allegory. They must continually remain in the 'spirit of prayer' as the prerequisite in ushering the descending new name of the coming Christ, Judge, into the next wonders of "times, and half a time."

20 Come, my people, enter your chambers (Spirit of prayer), and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while, until the wrath is past.

21 For the Lord comes out from his place, to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no longer cover its slain.

(Isaiah 26: 20- 21).

The still alive saints shall possess all kingdoms on Earth

13 “I kept looking in the night visions,

And behold, with the clouds of heaven one like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. 14 “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.

15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me. 16 I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17 These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth [Note# Babylon, Mede Persian, Greek, Roman Empire; the Roman Empire constitutes 10 surviving lineages of kings which are identifiable as the present European nations]  18 But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.’

19 “Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet, 20 and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates.21 I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them 22 until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favour of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.

23 “Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings 25 He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.26 But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’

28 “At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself.” (Daniel 7: 13-28, NASB).

     Verse 13 points to the Second Coming of Christ as in Revelation 6: 14 and Acts 1: 6-11. Through the divine wraths called "Trumpets" and "Bowls" in the book of Revelation, Christ was prophesied to possess the Earth as in the book Daniel 7: 14, 27. And yet, the saints shall go through distress, trials, or Chastisement for a period rhyming "a time, times and half a time." During those rhyming period, the saints would experience the "...shattering of the power..." 

   

   The still alive saints have to endure those "shattering of power" until "the Ancient of Days [Christ the Judge who judges in equity"] came, and judgment was passed in favour of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom" (Daniel 7: 22). "...in favour of" would be only fulfilled only after the "shattering of the power of the holy people" is completed for a span of time called "a time, times, and half a time." King David sang "the righteous ones shall inherit the earth”! The prophesy: "... Judgment was passed in favour of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom" was prophesied in Daniel 7: 22. It was also prophesied in Revelation 11: 15-18: " 15 Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God 17 saying, "We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign.18 And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

    Mortal men whose consciousness is cantered on intellectual capacities and nervous activities define life within their lifespans.  So, we discard the Word of God as something that hinders the businesses of eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriages, and buying or selling. We are dearly engrossed into building the desired "towers" of man's "names" on Earth. "Name" in the spirit of prophecy means "handiwork." The name of the beast or the number of the beast is the worldwide 'handiwork' of mankind in every nation on Earth! That prophesied "name" is, in truth, readable by any gifted follower of Divine names. The final handiwork of the inhabitants of the Earth was revealed as 666. It involves mathematical shrewdness in the transactions of "buying or selling." So, 666 merely serves to be the "Sign" of times which points to the unfolding wraths of the Judge who judges in equity. When we see 666 through the lenses of intellectual capacities, it is, indeed, offering us modern livelihood. Nonetheless, 666 was originated from the wounded rulers. While the divine names either the immutable divine names or Covenanted divine names are offering us life in fullness, the name of the beast is up to glorify this mortal flesh with monetary! It was just a matter of priority between the eternal life and temporary life. The beast tries to subdue the inhabitants of the earth by enslaving them into the whole gamut of monetary, thus we are demanded to have shrewdness in calculation!

    Christ Yeshua knows that the consciousness of the wounded men is dominantly centred upon the intellectual capacities and nervous activities. When the "last hour"-rulers on Earth (the beasts) succeeded in subduing that "centre" of consciousness of the descendants of the 'wounded' man with the collectively agreed "name," then it wouldn't be hard to amend that "name" into a worldwide covenant/convention: international agreement or treaty. Men either rich, poor, noble, freeman or slave would be subjected to that international covenant. That "name" must be "blood and the pulsating heartbeat" of every nation. Then, even the freeman (born again) would be undeniably subjected to that "name." 666 is apparently stealing away the worship of God. Such "name" was made known from the beginning as "its tower reached to the sky." Man's name becomes the purpose of existence, and it defies the supremacy of the Word of God as 'the reason to live and the reason to die.' Our offspring define life according to their dominant centre of consciousness: the intellectual capacities and nervous activities. Men were reduced to five senses. The Spirit becomes unattractive because we rarely enter its realities. Thus, it answers why we don't even see the Word of God (Spirit) as the ultimate Source of life. Man's "names" (handiworks) would define our reason of mortal existence. 

   Alas! It steals away the true treasure of God (Wisdom or Sevenfold Spirit of God) which God freely offers unto every believer. It glorifies the five senses. It devalues the Word of God: true Source of Life. It opposes the "names" of the Divine Spirit. No wonder why Yeshua prophesied: "33 seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6: 33-34). He unfolded the spiritual "key" in overcoming the strongest enslaving grid of consciousness on Earth i.e. monetary; monetary is man's main handiwork ('name'). It is the utmost sought-after "name" by every ruler in every modern nation throughout the world. The prophesied tower of Babel that once had had centralized the life of the ancient one-speech populace of the earth had re-emerged in this modern "last hours" since 1944 CE: "it was once, and no more, and it appeared again." Centralized life on Earth under "One Tower" had emerged again; the top of that tower reached to heaven! It was the horn with one eye sitting on the top of that tower. Every person is seeking that treasure i.e. "the modern mammon." Yeshua said: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" Luke 12: 34. All governments on Earth are collectively saying that the pulsating heartbeat or "life-blood" of any agenda of 'nation building' is inseparable from the core-business of maintaining​mathematical shrewdness in monetary. 

    Monetary is the foremost "name" (handiwork) of 'man' which has been enslaving every soul on Earth in the last hours. It is the "sign" of times which unfolds the tangible events on Earth. It also sign-posts our spiritual journey in which "ticking clock" we are in. Yeshua knew that the last-hours "mammon" would eventually subdue the whole inhabitants of the earth. He may have seen it thousands of times before, even when he was still clothed with the ‘flesh’; He purposely said, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Why? In the last hours, mammon would eventually enslave humanity, as if a serpent that coils up a whole world. Men would be spurred to seek mammon in their daily chores of life. The "seeking" of men not only be dictated with man-made laws, but also causing continuous diversion of life from the divine spiritual design of man; the divine exhortation "seek His kingdom" has been easily replaced by the "seek the name of the beast." Every ruler of every nation is actually a beast, because "a woman" means simply the prophesied bride of the coming Bridegroom. Every nation on Earth couldn't be the bride of Yeshua! Yeshua would never marry any nation (geo-political nation), and yet the 'name' YHVH, was once married Jerusalem (Theocratic nation of Israel) in the Promised Land. His marriage ended as prophesied in 2 Kings 23:27 and the Theocratic of Kingdom of priests and holy nation became the things of the past.

    True man is always like Yeshua. But, why God had revealed unto St. John that the beast was also a man? The answer is simply because the false man (the beast) was trying to marry every soul on Earth through mammonism, and thus the Coming true man who comes for his bride would be in the "spiritual wars." And yet it still fulfils the prophecies of the prophets. So, that was the reason why the end-times beast was revealed as a "man." Of course, there would be a leading ruler on the top of the hierarchies of Antichrist's "towers" who represents the revealed "a man"; the leading ruler was also known as the ruler whose name or number, 666, the beast. Christ was the Word that became the Son of Man; those who do not believe in this mystery are, in truth, considered antichrists. Those who reject the Word would be adjudged by God in the Judgment period under the descending coming 'name' of God; the Judge who judges in equity. Those who reject the Word of God who became man are those who decide not to be included in the Covenant of Peace. So, they are merely outside the Covenant. According to human intellectual digests, those outside the Covenant are not necessarily be branded as bad persons. They could be good persons as according to human precepts or they could be even better than those who profess to be the followers of the Way! However, they would be, definitely, deprived of the blessings through the Covenant of Peace i.e. the outpouring of the Sevenfold Spirit of God! And, now, the Covenant of Peace is closing down. Those who had entered the covenant are exhorted to "enter their chambers": the Spirit of Prayer!

    Christ's name is the Word of God (Revelation 19: 13). The Word of God who became the Son of Man. The main reason of his human-divine (duality) existence was simply explained by Yeshua in Luke 24: 44 and in John 1: 29-34. 29...“Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 this is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ 32 I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.”32 And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.33 I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit ' 34 and I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God" (John 1: 29-34).

    The word Antichrist itself is merely the antonym of the word Christ; thus, the word Antichrist is merely meant AntiWord. We do not have the intention in 'demonizing' those who don't believe in the "Word became the Son of Man." "3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world” (1 John 4:3).  We are merely seeing the simple truth! And yet, in every nation there are 'tares' and 'wheat.' In nation building, every nation is normally shaped up by the majority of the populace. And every citizen is exhorted to abide the national Constitutions. Solomon said: “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan" (Proverbs 29: 2). However, in human missions of 'nation building', it is undeniable that both the tares and the wheat are obliged in fulfilling each nation's "names"! Since the "wheat" are subjected to the 'names' of their respective 'nation building,' it was wiser to stick to Yeshua's words:  Then He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22: 21). Yeshua's counsel unto all "wheats" in every nation is always practical as reverberated by His words in Matthew 22: 21.  The things that are of God's already revealed unto us as he taught the prophesied prayers to his 12 disciples: Our Father. "City building," as prophesied in Genesis 11 was equivalent to the present worldwide mission called "nation building." Profitable human-made "nation building" demands us to respect the differences of beliefs among the citizens of one's nation. Genesis 11 disclosed the reason why the descendants of Noah had had abandoned the true spiritual teachings of the Altar. God had to begin his grandeur plan of salvation for the 'wounded' men through Abram, Isaac, and then the twelve tribes. Later, the house of Jacob (the 'woman') delivered the awaited Messiah: Yeshua. Since "the ears that hear and the eyes that see" was God's gift, and thus, those who might have believed in the 'names' of the Father and the 'names' He had given unto his Son are, in truth, predestined to be His children. In Christian belief, salvation is the gift of God. Therefore, you are surely able to figure out why the percentage representing the true followers of Christ on Earth is very small --. The majority percentage of the world populace is, in truth, representing those who are outside the circle of people who have been endowed with "the fear of the Lord."

    How would Yeshua's words "seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness" be ever possible in our daily devotion, when everybody is literally busy in the transaction of "buying and selling”?  Yeshua told us in Matthew 6: 33 that faith must be exercised together with the attitude of prioritizing His kingdom; seeing "the kingdom of heaven" as the believers' greatest "treasure."  "Seek ye first the kingdom of God" was Yeshua’s answer in having a triumphant outcome of the tug of war between mammon and God in ones' lives. Yeshua's exhortation in dealing with the worldwide covenant of mammon delivers our spirits from being deprived of the joy in worshipping the "True Treasure." Only those who are called to become the true branches of the true Vine would be endowed with the eyes that see the spiritual meaning of that 'Priority.' Blessed, those who have been endowed with the gift of the fear of the Lord, for they would be enabled to be steadfast in "seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." Job witnessed that YHVH had said unto humankind on Earth in Job 28: 28: "The fear of the Lord is Wisdom." 

28 “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.’ “(Job 28: 28, NASB).
