The Covenant of "the Stump" during the Age of Captivity (Isaiah 6) and My 24 Hours
Isaiah 6:13 / "And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land."
Hymn #546 Standing on the Promises (Unified Hymn 399)

When the Israelites became captives, God gave them the covenant of "the stump." In doing so, when crises or big problems came, they asked what they needed to do. To Isaiah, who possessed tremendous spiritual power on a daily basis, God gave all answers. Moreover, through Daniel; his three friends; and Esther, God provided answers to save both Israel and Babylon. For those who possess daily spiritual power, they do "concentrated prayer," when problems arise. Within that "concentrated prayer,” Isaiah saw "The Throne's Blessings" and the seraphim and also received the important word, "the stump." (Isaiah 6:13) The word "stump" refers to "those who remained" and are deeply rooted in the Gospel. The "sprout" that emerged from here refers to "the posterity." All of these terms are collectively referred to as "the Remnant." God first showed Isaiah both the kingdom of Satan and the kingdom of the world, then finally, His Kingdom. What did God want from Isaiah?
1. The Restoration of the Covenant
The people of the covenant became captives to "restore the Gospel," "restore evangelism," and "restore missions." If you also lose hold of the Gospel; evangelism; and missions, God will send you into captivity in order to do world evangelization.
2. God's Preparation
If you have spiritual strength, you can confirm what God has prepared. God foretold that the nation of Israel would remain in captivity for seventy years. (Jeremiah 29:10) In the meantime, in order to heal the Israelites, He restored the Gospel; evangelism; and missions and promised to restore the temple.
3. The Works That Arise for Those Who Enjoy "24"
Isaiah believed in the eternal covenant; hoped in the Lord; and enjoyed Him. (Isaiah 6:1-13, 7:14, 40:1-31, 43:18~21, & 60:1-22) This is "24." Daniel and his friends solely held onto the covenant, (Daniel 1:8-9) Esther and Mordecai also prayed and enjoyed the blessings of the covenant that would surely be fulfilled. (Esther 2:10) In the end, every one of them received answers.
By continuing to pray, God will give you realization in advance. Simply put, you' ll see in advance; possess in advance; enjoy in advance; and conquer in advance. In doing so, you'll gain in advance what has already been fulfilled. This is the standard of prayer.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, during the time when I give worship and pray today, may Your Kingdom be established. As I pray in church, may Your Kingdom come upon all the places that are associated with me. Through "The Throne's Power," please allow works to take place in Your children who are scattered throughout the world. More important than answers, may Your children enjoy the mystery of Your throne. No matter what difficulties they may be in, may Your Kingdom be fulfilled. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
