Holding onto the covenants of Acts 1:1; 3; and 8, the disciples came down from the Mt. of Olives. That was the method to have conclusion. Before going to the Mt. of Olives, the disciples' states were at the level of fighting for position and asking who was higher. However, Jesus called these disciples to the Mt. of Olives and made them focus on "only Christ,"(Acts 1:1) "only God's Kingdom,"(Acts 1:3) and "only Holy Spirit."(Acts 1:8) That was the only way for works to arise. At that time, they became deeply rooted.

1. Roots
Everything in the world is different, wrong, and will lead to destruction. This doesn't mean that you don't need the things of the world; instead, it means that those worldly attributes cannot truly save you. The fundamental reason why religious people fail is because they don't have "only." The "only" that they possess is "self-conceit" which means that they solely exist by themselves. However, for humans who are spiritual beings who need God's Spirit, those are tremendously wrong words. Moreover, Christians fail because they love the worldly things beautifully made by Satan which are different, wrong, and lead to destruction.(2 Corinthians 11:14) However, the people from Acts 1:14 knew in advance and finished; changed their roots,; and then came down.

2. 24 and 25
"24" is what you can do and "25" is what God does. The disciples took those and came down from the Mt. of Olives. At the Mt. of Olives, Jesus spoke about the "3 Transcendences" which were the throne, time and space, and the 237 light. Moreover, He spoke about the "3 Lives," which were God's image,(Genesis 1:27) God's "breath of life,"(Genesis 2:7) and the restoration of the Garden of Eden.(Genesis 2:1~18) In addition, He spoke about the "3 Ages" which referred to the age of establishing the church that began in Mark's upper room; the age of establishing the field that began with the 70 church officers; and the age of globalization that began which was centered on associate pastors and Remnants who had followed Peter and Paul. Those disciples came down with the mysteries of "24" and "25."

3. A State Where the Things of the World Are Unnecessary(Acts 1:11, 1:12, and 1:14)
The Lord said that He would come again.(Acts 1:11) Those who had that covenant came down from the Mt. of Olives and went to Mark's upper room.(Acts 1:12) Instead of saying that those things were "unnecessary," they were in "a state that didn't need the things of the world" because they had already possessed everything, and they knew that they would conquer the world.

Dear God, may I look at, accept, and relay only Acts 1:1, 3, and 8. Help me to enjoy the "3 Transcendences," "3 Lives," and "3 Ages." Please guide me to be in a state where the things of the world become unnecessary. I want to become a person who saves the world instead of following it. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
