[Scriptures]Isaiah 11:9
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 30:26
The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter,
like the light of seven full days,
when the Lord binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.
People have to personally see, personally hear,
or personally touch something in order to feel the reality in a real way.
However, symbols and parables are nothing more than evidence of the reality
and a shadow of the reality.
As a result, they don’t give 100% satisfaction and they don't feel real.
At Jesus’ time too – after Jesus died, there was no real form that remained.
Therefore, people testified for the reality of Jesus by using various parables.
So the listeners received weak inspiration and a weak sense of reality.
This made the witnesses anxious and worried.
That is why the Holy Spirit let people realise by testifying and inspiring them even more on the foundation of the testimony of the witnesses.
Seeing a photo of an object that is hundreds of times smaller
than the actual object is really different from seeing the actual object.
A photo only feels like something unsubstantial* even if you touch it.
Photos merely help you to remember.
So unlike the real thing, they don't have the same sense of reality.
If you have seen someone only in a photo and later see the actual person,
who is hundreds of times bigger than the photo, it feels like you are looking at a giant.
As a result, both your thoughts and emotions will change.
(* Translation note: Something that is beyond reach – like a pie in the sky.)
The same is true with the Word.
The Word is also evidence that testifies
about the real Lord, the real Holy Trinity, and the real history.
Therefore, if you listen to the Word and only think about it,
the Word will not feel real to you.
If you heard the Word, you have to make it real by taking action on it in reality!
Then you will see bigger things in a way that feels hundreds of times more real.
You are also alive in reality.
Therefore, you are so precious and great, right?
However even if the reality is alive, if you don’t take action,
it is like the reality is missing,
and therefore, the feeling, inspiration, and realization are weak.
I bless you to realize deeply that you are alive in reality, realize deeply
that you are with the real Lord, and hurry up and take action with the real being!
