The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (45)
– Bartizan 39 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Acts 18:1-4
Yesterday we held the 1st North Korea Missions Conference. It has not ended—it is just beginning. Accordingly, what we must confirm in today’s message is: Open the three-day weekend age of North Korea missions.
「The Three-Day Weekend Age Of North Korea Missions」
You must firmly hold to this as the covenant. First, we should recognize that there are unbelievers or new believers, and in the church there are church leaders and pastors. Though each is different, they share one common point. The common point is that we cannot but judge based on what we know. Whether unbeliever or believer, this is common. Therefore, if you can go beyond this, it is easy to make 300% in every field. In truth, there is more that we do not see than what we see, and there is more that we do not know than what we know. For this reason, one industry person appeared who gave the answer to this.
(Acts 18:1–4)
This person appeared. He played the leading role in the three-day weekend age. The evidence is that every Sabbath he entered the synagogue. Now, something must also open as the three-day weekend age centered on North Korea missions for us. The characteristic of this couple—Priscilla and Aquila—was:
▣ Introduction: Start = 300% (Acts 2:10)
Already from the start, the 300% was prepared. Thus the greatest evidence is here (Acts 2:10). Is this not a tremendous place? It is a place that allows for many thoughts. The work of Mark’s upper room arose and the multiethnic people gathered. Among them were “visitors from Rome.” All commentators commonly view them as Priscilla and Aquila. And before they met Paul, they had already received the gospel at this time. Especially Aquila was a Jew. From that perspective, what Jesus spoke of—
1. Public Ministry (Mount Calvary)
They could not have failed to know the message about His public ministry. Especially, what was the conclusion here? It was the event of Mount Calvary. This couple surely had assurance of this. Therefore, they participated in Mark’s upper room. People who make great money should go to big places to make greater money—but their coming here means they had taken hold of something tremendous.
2. Forty Days On Mt Olive
3. Mark’s Upper Room
And so they participated in Mark’s upper room. These three are extremely important: Mount Calvary, Mt Olive, and Mark’s upper room are crucial matters that you must by no means be ignorant of. Therefore, if you are to succeed going forward, what you know is of course necessary, but you must go beyond that and come forth from here. There are necessarily important—
1) Three Feasts (always – daily)
“When the day of Pentecost had fully come”—this is an experience that contains the three feasts. The strength of the Jews was that they kept the three feasts—and their weakness was also that they kept the three feasts. But for us, like Priscilla and Aquila, how must we keep the three feasts? Always, daily. This is the key. We keep the feasts to inform the posterity of this fact and to commemorate it; it is not to do it only then. Therefore, the reason the feasts are important is not the event itself but enjoying this. You must bear in mind that, for you, the blessings of the three feasts are appearing daily. They were those who enjoyed this. In fact, it is finished.
2) 237 – 5000
What is contained in this place (Acts 2:10)? It contains this: a great door prepared to penetrate the 237 nations and the 5,000 tribes. When they received the answer here, what came out?
3) Future (Acts 2:17–18)
They saw the future. Is not seeing the future the most important? This is Acts 2:17–18. And that is not all. Two things important for us remain.
4) Worship (Acts 2:42)
If you are truly enjoying this answer, there is an answer that will come to you tomorrow. What is that? It is to succeed in worship. Most church leaders and industry people do not succeed in worship. Among the matters of succeeding in worship, there is yet another remaining.
5) Six Days (Acts 2:46–47)
Worship must influence the six days. Then you have given worship well. This is that part. Day by day in the temple, and day by day from house to house, works arose. Thus it could not but become the three courtyards. We confirmed many covenants this time; do not lose hold of the North Korea missions message. The North Korean defectors are those who have been commissioned, and the outer organizations are extremely important. But to do this, where must we start? Start with prayer. Let there be not even a single day without the word “North Korea missions.” That is why we say, “Relay it.” Otherwise, the North Korea Missions Conference will become like merely keeping a feast. This must be connected every day. And then where do we concentrate? We concentrate on the three-day weekend age.
▣ Main Message: Coming Answers (Answers God Will Give)
Thus, there are answers that come at this time. What does this mean? It means there are answers that God will give.
1. Acts 18:1–4 [Me – 300%]
This was Acts 18:1–4. It is the 300% concerning me. This is very important. It will come.
2. Acts 18:24–28 [RT – 300%]
What is next? Acts 18:24–28. What is this? It is the Remnant’s 300%. It cannot but come—and this is the three-day weekend age.
3. 1 Corinthians 16:19 [Field regional church that revives the church]
This does not end there; we must revive the field. So, what important matter appears here if we look at one Scripture? This (1 Corinthians 16:19) is very important. “Priscilla and the church that is in their house.” The important meaning here is: a field regional church that revives the church. The church leaders must know how to make this. This will be taught in the Church Leader Graduate School lecture—but if someone appears who knows how to establish a proper regional church, then works will inevitably arise. If you do not know this, a few problems come. If you are running a church and you make another regional church as “another church of mine,” it must not turn into that shape. While you are serving your church, you make a regional church that supports that church. Right? People cannot do this. Why? Because all center on revealing themselves; thus finances and manpower are all wasted. They cannot evangelize. You need at least this level of IQ, but people do not have this IQ because of their greed. If I or you have a wrong motive, one’s IQ drops about 30 points. Even if your IQ were 100, it drops to 70. Do you know the IQ of a fish? It is 60 to 70.
So, what did I do in the past? When I entered a meeting (Darakbang), people kept preparing food. “Don’t do it. Give offering—to the church.” Then, when offering was collected, I carried envelopes and a stapler in my bag. I put it in as-is and stapled it. Through the members present, we offered it to the church. Because people cannot escape the “me” of Genesis 3, they cannot see the true answer. The couple who saw this was Priscilla and Aquila. One such person is of incalculable importance. Here it is: “Priscilla and the church in their house.” Why is this phrase important? Because the Corinthian church was continually fighting. At that time, Priscilla and Aquila did only the work of evangelism. You must surely remember this.
1 – 1) Prayer (meetings)
Prayer is included here.
2) Work
There appears their industry, their work. In prayer they met Paul.
3) Future
Thus, a tremendous future began to be shown to them. These are the answers that will come.
2 – 1) Academic background
At last they met a very outstanding person—Apollos—who had high learning.
2) Water baptism
Here two matters are mentioned: water baptism and
3) Spirit baptism
Spirit baptism. Water baptism is important. As the confession marking salvation, baptism is important. But more important is Spirit baptism. That is, they conveyed what took place in Mark’s upper room. You must surely remember this.
3 – 1) Corinth
So what result came? Because of this one couple, the work of reviving Corinth.
2) Region
And because they had established such a house-church, the region came to life.
3) Romans 16:3–4
And it did not end there. They participated in the evangelization of Rome. How important is this! Church leaders and industry people, you know that you are important, correct? Then you must receive important answers.
▣ Conclusion_ Ongoing
What result comes, then? This work is still ongoing. These answers are still ongoing. This is important. If your ministry contains the correct covenant, it will continue forever and ever. I will speak of it later, but our RGS and RLS, together with RTS, are three extremely important schools. You must know what time it is now—what you are to make.
1. Footprints
The answers they received became footprints.
2. Bartizan (journey, guidepost)
The answers they received became a bartizan. The answers of this bartizan go forth as the journey and the guidepost.
3. Watchman
Therefore, set up watchmen here and there. This is the end. Set up watchmen who revive the church. If you are not careful, you will harm the church. Set up watchmen who revive the church.
Many who are active do many activities that do not help the church. If only one who has truly opened these eyes appears, all will live. I bless that this blessing will come upon industry people nationwide and worldwide—and especially upon our North Korea missions—in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and the love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with all industry people, with the church leaders holding to today’s message nationwide and worldwide, with the Remnants, and with those commissioned for North Korea missions, from now to eternity, always. Amen.
