Scripture Reading: Exodus 2:1-10
▣ Introduction_ Absolute Impossibility, Absolute Possibility
※ The opportunity, in the three-day weekend age, to restore the three courtyards
Even today, many of you have come from the provinces and from far away. There are not many people who can truly recognize the heart of those of you who have been revived only by the gospel. That is why you may often feel, “There is no church we can really go to.” It is that hard. So there are many of you who have come all the way here from far away. You must not miss this golden opportunity. Together with your children, you absolutely need to restore, right here, the blessing of the three-day weekend age.
If there are church members who do not have some special circumstance, then move and live near here. Then you can help your Remnants truly receive the answers of the three-day weekend age, and you can even let them sleep in your homes. In this way you must really come to know what true blessing is.
I went to church from childhood. But the church members are busy doing only those things that cannot receive answers. When you go to church, they are doing only the things that cannot receive blessing. You must surely remember this and say, “Ah, we will restore the three-day weekend age and restore the three courtyards that Jesus taught even with anger.” If so, you will come to realize that this place is an absolutely amazing place.
As I go to America, the fact that there is much time is good. I can prepare and I can pray; it is really good. On the in-flight monitor, if there is some special documentary, I sometimes watch. There was one particularly striking program. In the past it was not like this, but suddenly in America a very strong wind came in from the sea and blew away houses that had been fine for one hundred years. Because such a thing had never happened before, they were living there feeling safe, but in one night everything was blown away. It was a documentary that uncovered why this happened.
I watched it with great interest. The content was this: The area we call Manhattan is a city, right? Originally, they said, it was a shell island—an island covered with an enormous number of shells. They scraped all of that away. They removed it and built a great city there. From that point on, two kinds of problems began to occur. All kinds of migratory birds used to fly there. Suddenly they came, but because they no longer had a place to land, they flew into the glass walls of the buildings and died—about five thousand birds a year. Then the documentary revealed something even more important. That enormous shell island actually controlled the speed of the seawater. The power of God’s nature is fearsome. They said those shells were there to control the speed of the sea currents that run across the entire United States. Since they removed all of that, there was no longer any control of the speed. So when the currents shift and the waves strike, they strike with a much stronger force. “Ah, so this is why we must not destroy nature.”
- Israel’s crisis – The tremendous disaster that struck when the gospel completely disappeared
This may look like nothing, but when the gospel disappeared, tremendous disasters began to rush in.
1) The nation and the families were destroyed and became slaves
In the four hundred years that passed, the people of Israel faced a great crisis. The nation collapsed, the families collapsed, and they all became slaves. A crisis came upon the next generation. This tremendous thing happened—something no one had imagined.
2) A law was enacted that all Hebrew baby boys must be killed
But what was the even greater crisis? The nation of Egypt actually made it into law. You see, the law is fearsome. The law. “When a male child is born to the Israelites, kill him, without exception. For the sake of the future. To protect Egypt. Because they must not become more numerous than us. Kill them.” It was made into law.
The law is important, but there is something more important than the law: life. Any law that takes life is an evil law. Even in our country, because of two leaders, we have repeatedly had complicated situations. I believe that sin must be discovered and dealt with, but people must be saved. They made it into law. What could they do? They could not escape. Every Hebrew male child, every boy of Israel, was to be killed. So the Israelites gave up. No one could oppose it.
3) As time passed, they lost the value and power of the gospel and of prayer
What was the even greater crisis? Four hundred years passed. During those years, the people of Israel completely lost the value of the gospel that they were supposed to hold. That is the real problem. They completely lost the power of the gospel. There was no longer any happiness of the gospel. We must quickly… This was a crisis. If you do not know the value of prayer, how will you live? If you do not have the happiness of prayer, what will make you happy? If you do not have the power of prayer, how will you save the world? It is the same statement. This kind of problem came. As four hundred years passed, the gospel completely disappeared.
4) Today – If you do not know this mystery, you will do the errands of the world, the flesh, and Satan
How is it now? If we do not know this mystery, then we have no choice, because we must make a living, but to do the errands of the world. No matter how much we “succeed,” we will have to do the errands of the flesh. No matter how high a position we attain or how much we possess, in the end we will do the errands of Satan. The field has become like that now.
In Joseph’s time, it was absolutely astounding. But that is now just a story of the past. Could this perhaps be the picture of today’s Christianity? Even though we have an overwhelming background of God’s Word, America, which has produced the most mentally ill people in the world, has churches that are beginning to close their doors.
Just last week in Japan, I spoke about this. In all of Asia, Japan has the highest number of people with mental illness. Why is that? I talked about that.
- Jochebed, who saw absolute possibility in an absolutely impossible situation
At that time, a person named Jochebed appears. She was in an absolutely impossible situation. No one could stop what was happening. But she saw absolute possibility.
1) The tribe of Levi – “You are a child of the covenant. You must be set free from slavery. Send your child into the palace.”
What was that? She was from the tribe of Levi. A Levite man married a Levite woman, and they gave birth to Moses. He was a Levite child. “You are a child of the covenant, are you not? Should you not be set free from this slavery? Send your child into the palace.” An astounding thing came out. She saw absolute possibility. You must receive this blessing. This is something that happens only once in history. It is a one-and-only event, a never-before-and-never-again answer.
2) There is surely a unique blessing, an unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing. Find it.
Now, how is it for you? There is something I really want to ask you. Do you perhaps think that this does not exist for you? Do you think, “There is no unique blessing for me”? Do you think, “There is no unprecedented-and-never-repeated blessing for me”? If so, then even if you do not live the life of faith, it may be all right—because then there is no need. You must find it. It surely exists.
3) Right now, when crisis and hardship have come, this very place and time is when you enjoy that unique, unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing
When is it? Many people are confused here. “When? Where should I look for it?” Right now. Do you not think that the very place where you are sitting is something that has never existed in history, that it is the place to enjoy a one-and-only blessing, the time to enjoy something unprecedented and never to be repeated? “But I am sick right now.” Do you not realize that you are in the best possible time to enjoy that blessing? It is absolute impossibility; it is a huge crisis. But this is not just “comfort” for you. She saw absolute possibility. “A tremendous crisis has come upon me, but in this very place I have come to see a work that will never again happen in all of history.” “I am in difficulty right now.” That is right. But do you not understand that even this is preparation? Our Remnants cannot afford to lose this.
I told my secretaries something. “Hey, stop trying so hard to think that ‘I absolutely have to become very healthy.’ Stop it. You keep thinking, ‘I absolutely must become healthy.’ Don’t do that. If I get sick, that is the end. I will simply be thankful for that and go to stand before God. Then I will see the full works of God.” Perhaps I am saying this because I am healthy now, and it may sound like nonsense. But that is not the meaning of these words.
Right now, in the time when you are facing difficulties, this is the time to see God’s absolute possibility.
▣ Main Message_ The Blessing of Levi That Was Passed on While Nursing Moses
Today I emphasized it simply. A Levite man married a Levite woman, they gave birth to a Levite child, and that son was Moses. Of all things, a princess saw him and said, “I will take him as my son, so please raise this child for me.” In all the world, who has ever been paid to nurse her own child? She was paid wages—she said she would give wages. That was the arrangement. She would nurse him, and when he grew up, she would send him to the palace. It was an astounding period of time. In this arrangement, the term “Levi” contains three tremendous things.
- The time to imprint the light of the gospel of creation that breaks down darkness
First. It was the time to imprint the light of the gospel of creation that completely breaks down darkness. Right? That time. He was a little child, so she imprinted this on the young Moses. That is why we speak of the Remnant movement. On the young Moses, she imprinted the creative light of the gospel.
A person like Bill Gates saw a monitor when he was young. It was imprinted. He turned the world upside down. Handel saw the organ when he was young. That completely changed the world of music. So, is age absolutely important? You must believe that the light of the gospel of creation that overcomes darkness has been imprinted in you.
1) “Tell him, ‘We are going to offer blood sacrifice.’”
What happened? “Moses, go to the king and say this: ‘We are going to offer blood sacrifice.’” Now she is imprinting the gospel. When he heard these words again, eighty years later, he said, “Ah!” “Because I know that I cannot go before Pharaoh without speaking about this blood sacrifice.” He could not go. “And who am I? Look at my age. The king is looking for me—to kill me. How can I go to that man and say, ‘Let my people go’?”
God said this: “I am the LORD.” “Tell them ‘Yahweh says so.’ First tell the people of Israel, then tell the elders. Then go before the king and tell him. And I will stretch out My mighty hand and be with you. That will be the sign.” And so it was.
2) The ten miracles, the day the lamb’s blood was applied, and their liberation
What happened? Through Moses’ hand, the ten miracles began to take place. On the day the blood of the lamb was applied—the day of the Passover—they came out in freedom. This is what had been imprinted. It is tremendous.
3) Through the Moses, Jethro, Joshua, Caleb, and the prostitute Rahab who understood this, they overcame Egypt and entered Canaan
Five people understood, and they defeated Egypt. Moses, Jethro, Joshua, Caleb, and the prostitute Rahab. They finished everything with those five. Right? Those five went into the land of Canaan. Remarkably, everyone who went in with them were the next generation. The ones who came out of Egypt? They all died. There was no need for them to enter, because they had not understood.
Today is the time when the light of the gospel of creation that destroys darkness is being imprinted in you. Without fail, that day will come. It had all been prepared in advance.
- The time to plant the power of the Word and prayer, which is the power of the throne that can overcome any other power
The second thing. While nursing him, she passed on the second blessing of Levi. What was it? “Plant in him the power of the Word and prayer, which is stronger than nuclear power.”
1) The power of the ark of the covenant
Because of this, the power of the ark of the covenant appeared. All of this came through Moses.
2) The tabernacle movement, tent of meeting movement, tent movement, and the three courtyards
The tabernacle movement, the tent movement, and the tent of meeting movement all came out. All three courtyards came out. As Moses restored the covenant, all of these were fulfilled.
3) Wherever Moses went, the angel of the Lord went before him to lead the way and followed behind him to protect him
Today you must know the key of absolute possibility. The creative light of the gospel that breaks down darkness. The power of the throne that must be imprinted so that you can overcome the world—prayer, worship. Wherever Moses went, the angel of the Lord went before him to lead, and wherever Moses went, the angel of the Lord followed to protect. You must believe this. If you hold to this covenant, the angel of the Lord will go before you to lead and follow behind you to protect.
For the overseas churches and our churches at home that are facing difficulties, do not worry. This is the time to see the blessing of Jochebed that has never existed in history. There is nowhere else. He is saying that He will give you an unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing. This is not something just anyone does. He is giving you this one-and-only covenant. It looks like a big crisis, but it is not.
- The time to plant the historic commission to block the worldwide spiritual plague of darkness
Third. He sent him out after planting in him the commission to block the spiritual plague that was spreading worldwide. You must always remember this.
There are three things for you. The creative light that breaks down darkness; the power of the throne that must save the world; and the historic commission to block the spiritual plague of darkness. These three things were planted.
1) Forty years in the palace – The time to build up knowledge and learn Egypt
So first, God sent Moses into the palace and had him build up knowledge for forty years. He learned Egypt. He learned the laws and ways of the palace. The university he attended, according to historical records, was a royal academy called Hesperu. He studied there. You need knowledge. Right? That is why you go to school. But that alone is not enough.
2) Forty years in Midian – The time to restore the Word of God and prepare
God sent him to Midian. In Midian, he suffered for forty years. But it was not suffering. It was the time schedule in which he restored the Word of God completely. Some scholars say that he wrote Genesis there. I also think so. It looked like he had become a fugitive, but during those forty years, God once again prepared and confirmed these three things.
“No matter what others say, do not be deceived, but imprint the creative light that will break down darkness. Because you must overcome the world, imprint the power of the throne. That is prayer. Why Egypt? To block the spiritual plague that is killing the world.” For forty years, it looked as if he were alone in the wilderness, but there he was prepared in many ways.
3) Forty years in the wilderness – The staff that parted the Red Sea, brought water from the rock, and led Israel
When he turned eighty, there were forty years remaining—the true remaining forty. God told him to take the people of Israel and go into the wilderness. He had nothing, but God put a staff in his hand. That staff parted the Red Sea. Right? That staff struck the rock and brought forth water. That staff became the staff of power that led the Israelites—who were full of complaints and grumbling—for forty years in the wilderness.
Today, if you hold firmly to this covenant and then finish Sunday worship, on Sunday you must imprint this Word through prayer. That is all you need to do. Having notes written down is important, but you must imprint it in prayer. Then you will confirm that the answers recorded in the Bible are coming to you. It is certain.
※ A home to raise multiethnic talents
When many workers gather here, in a little while, through you, multiethnic talents who will truly move the world will gather. So prepare. Decide, “We will make a home that will raise multiethnic talents, talents who will move the world.” You can simply live together with them. Call them and raise them as talents.
In the past, even though our home environment was poor, a young man from England came and stayed for three months. I discovered that he was a tremendous talent. He had graduated from one of the top universities in England and came from a very good family. Why did he come? He said he had come for three months to receive training in evangelism. I was shocked. He had come for no other reason than to receive evangelism training. That was good. I decided that this was the best way. “Stay at my house. You will go with me. When I go to evangelize, you will go with me. Then, when I go to lead Bible study in that region, you will go with me. And when we have time, you will receive evangelism training and study the Word with me.” What a wonderful opportunity.
I believe that at such times, God gave me the blessing of the throne. Right? Believe that the same answer is prepared for you. Your difficult times are the very best time schedule. What does that mean? It is the time to imprint the light that will break down darkness. It is the time to imprint the power of the throne, by which that light is properly set up as a bartizan. You must absolutely understand this. It is the time to transmit, into Egypt where a tremendous spiritual plague is raging, the commission to save the world.
Forty years in the palace, forty years in Midian, forty years in the wilderness—this was Moses’ life, and this blessing was passed on through Jochebed at the very time that was the most difficult.
May you receive this blessing today.
▣ Conclusion_ Resolution
I will conclude in three ways. Make a resolution. What kind of resolution?
- Come out completely from Satan.
Israel came out of Egypt. But they did not truly come out. Right? They did not come out from Satan. Then they went to Babylon. Then they went to Rome. These things must not be repeated. Do you understand how important this time is for you? This is the time when I am completely set free from darkness.
- Make the once-in-history resolution – Become a professional who holds the gospel, enjoys the spiritual world, and does evangelism.
Then make the once-in-history resolution. What does that mean? There are many doctors. But there are not many doctors who have the gospel like you. There are many professors and many legal professionals. But there are no legal professionals who truly enjoy the spiritual world with the gospel. So you must do it. There are many pastors. But there are very few who truly live and evangelize for the gospel. So you must do it. This is the once-in-history task. Right? There are many students, many “talents.” But there are almost none who truly know the spiritual world and prepare. That is the second resolution.
- Do the work that someone must do no matter what – the work of saving.
The final resolution. Do the work that someone must do no matter what—the work of saving. Right?
1) Jochebed, who sent her son into the palace to carry out the work of delivering Israel
In order to save Israel, even at the cost of her own sacrifice, she sent her son into the palace so that he could carry out the work of deliverance. She did the work of saving.
2) The spies Joshua and Caleb, who made the confession that saves
Every time you look, the Israelites are complaining and making things difficult. They should have said, “We must go through this wilderness anyway and pass through to enter Canaan,” but instead they said, “Why did you bring us here?” If it is something we must do anyway, then we must do the work of saving, not the work of killing. They complained. When the twelve spies returned, ten of them said, “We cannot go.” Now it was no longer just “the wilderness is hard.” They said, “They have built great fortified cities and are waiting for us. We cannot go.”
At that time Joshua and Caleb made the confession that saves. “It is a land flowing with milk and honey. It is our land. We must go. They are already discouraged.”
3) The prostitute Rahab, who told the lie that saves
Look later. The prostitute Rahab hid the spies. The officials of the nation came and said, “The spies came into this house. Where are they?” She lied. She lied and was saved. “They went that way. That way.” She even told them the direction.
What kind of lie was it? A lie that saves. There is such a thing as a “truthful word” that kills people. That is an evil word. She lied, did she not? “They are hiding here, they are here.” She should have said that. But she lied skillfully. “They went that way.” She even pointed out the place. Because of this, Rahab entered the land of Canaan.
4) David, who saved King Saul in every crisis and shed real tears when Saul died
Look at David. In every crisis, he enjoyed this blessing and did the work of saving. He had several opportunities to kill Saul. Several times. King Saul, tormented by an evil spirit, drove his army here and there to kill David. He had completely lost his mind. So the men following David said, “This is not right. King Saul has lost his mind. He is demon-possessed. We must kill him.”
But what did David say? “To lay a hand on the one whom God has anointed is something God does not permit.”
Several times, while David was hiding, in the dark, someone came inside from outside. If you come in from the bright outside into the dark, you cannot see at first. At one such time, Saul lay down and slept. David saw his face and cut off the corner of Saul’s robe with his sword. That shows you how relaxed he was. At the brink of being killed, instead of killing, he cut off the robe. He waited quietly until Saul woke up. When Saul woke up from sleep, what did David do? He called out to him, knowing that Saul was also like a father to him: “My father!”
Saul was shocked: “What is this? David!” David showed him the corner of the robe. Saul was moved and said, “My son, I am sorry. Truly God will bless you.” He said that—and then later lost his mind again.
In the end, Saul died on the battlefield. When news of Saul’s death came, one soldier ran with joy to deliver it. “King Saul has fallen in battle.” He should have delivered it in sorrow, but he came with joy, thinking, in easy words, “David will be pleased.” That was a mistake.
What happened at that time? If you look at David at that moment, it is frightening. He drew his sword and cut off that man’s head. “Is the death of the king such a joyful thing to you?” And then he wept loudly and shed true tears. That was David.
May today be the beginning of the greatest time of your life, in which you discover God’s important blessing. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, let today be a day when we receive Your grace all day long. Let it be the day on which we see the unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing that comes only once in history, and let it be the day on which we see Your absolute possibility. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
