Mountain Kwangdeouk is located in Cheoan, South Korea and is a favorite place for a family hiking trip because of the creek and a reservoir nearby.  Uelam Korean traditional village and lots of tour attractions are near the mountain also.



Please be wise.

 

 

 

 

Let's think about it.

 

Was it wise to believe Adam and not going to Noah when Noah was building the ark? 

 

Was it wise to believe only in Noah and not going to Moses when Israels were getting out of Egypt?

 

Or was it wise to believe only in Moses(the Law) and not going to Jesus when he came to his people?

 

Who do you think you believed if you were there at each moment?

 

Please be a wise man. 

 

Please find not just a pastor close to your home but the promised pastor in the Bible.

 

 

 

Religion, Pastor and Faith

 

 

 

Every time an era became corrupt, the one and only creator, God, chose one person and told him what would happen in the future. The one chosen then became a prophet who spoke and wrote on behalf of God. People believed the prophet, but not the words of God that the prophet spoke.

Much of God’s word was sealed with figurative language and parables (Hos 12:10; Mt 13:10-11; Rv 5:1). Therefore, no one could know the Bible before the words (parables) were opened.

Looking at the history of the prophets, Siddhartha of Buddhism was born about 2,600 years ago, and Confucius of Confucianism was born about 2,500 years ago. Prophets of Christianity such as Isaiah and Jeremiah were born about 2,700 years ago, and Jesus was born about 2,000 years ago. The root of Jesus, however, goes back about 6,000 years. Isaiah, Siddhartha, and Confucius were born of man, so they all had the original sin, hereditary sins, and personal sins. Jesus, however, was the son of God the Creator, born of his seed, so he did not have any sin (Mt 1:18-23; 3:16-17). God came to Jesus, who did not have any sins, and became one with him (Jn 1:32-34, 10:30). To Isaiah, Siddhartha, and Confucius, all of whom had sins, God only revealed himself through his voice and visions; he did not become one with them.

Originally, the holy God was with Adam, who had no sin (Gn 2), but God left him when he committed sin (Gn 3, 6). God and Jesus, who have no sins, want to come back to people and become one with them (Rv 21:1-3). Thus, in order to forgive the sins of mankind, he made sinless Jesus carry the cross (Is 53; Jn 1:29; Jn 19). Siddhartha, Confucius, and Isaiah neither had the power nor right to get rid of the sins of mankind, let alone their own.

People who are dying since God has left them to their sins, need God more than any power or wealth. It is because once a person loses his life, the power and wealth that he owns also disappear. It is clear that we sinners need God and Jesus above all things. God’s work is to save people from their sins by the blood of a righteous man, Jesus. It is also to seize Satan, who makes people commit sin, and throw him into the Abyss.

The prophets of the Old Testament such as Moses and Isaiah, as well as Siddhartha and Confucius, prophesied in their religious books that Jesus the Messiah was coming to this earth. However, did people believe in Jesus when he came to this earth as prophesied? People believed in Siddhartha, Confucius, and Moses, but not their words (regarding the savior Jesus). They believed in their teachers but not their words, which was the word of God (regarding the promised pastor). Will there be salvation for believing in just Moses, Isaiah, Siddhartha, or Confucius, without believing in the physical fulfillment, that is, Jesus, who came to save the sinners, of whom God prophesied through these men?

Jesus came to this earth just as the prophets (Moses, Isaiah, Siddhartha, and Confucius) had prophesied, and fulfilled the Old Testament. Then he prophesied again about the future (i.e. the New Testament). This prophecy was concerning a promise to send a pastor in his name (Mt 23:39; Jn 14).

God, heaven, and the angels came to Jesus at the First Coming (Mt 3:16-17; 4:17), and Jesus said, ‘No one comes to the Father except through me’ (Jn 14:6). Likewise, today, even if one says he believes in Jesus, if one does not believe in the word of God (i.e. if he does not believe the promised pastor) that was spoken through the lips of Jesus, then he cannot come to heaven, God, or Jesus. This is because heaven, God, and Jesus have come to the one who overcomes, the promised pastor (Rv 3:12).

Today, those who claim to believe in Jesus but refuse to go to the pastor promised by him, are just like the people who believed in Moses, Isaiah, Siddhartha, and Confucius, but not their words (i.e. Messiah Jesus). Also, believing only in one’s own pastor even when the promised pastor has come is the same as believing only in Adam and not going to Noah; believing only in Noah and not going to Moses; and believing only in Moses and not going to Jesus.

If the believers truly believe in Jesus, they also must believe in what he promised. By believing and keeping the New Testament, that is, the new covenant, one can be saved.

Are you a true believer of God according to the Bible?

 

 

 

Don't just say that you are a Christian or Believer of God and Jesus just because you are attending a church or read the Bible.

You have to live up to who you claim to be.

Do you really believe the Words of the Bible?

 

John 1:1 In the veginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 

 If you are a true believer, you should beleive every Word in the Bible.

God, the Bible, and Me

 Main references: Hos 6:6; 1 Cor 15:20-24

 

Hos 6:6 “For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burn offerings.”

 

Who is God? God is self-existent. His name is Jehovah, and he is spirit (Ex 3:13-15; Jn 4:24). God is the creator of the heavens and earth. He is the origin of all blessings and the father of all creation. He is a living being (Gn 1).

 

God created Adam and Eve as his creatures, but they were deceived by the serpent. As a result, all things in heaven and on earth became the possessions of a mere creature, the serpent—the dragon, Satan, and the devil (Rv 12:9; Rv 20:2). God also had to leave mankind (Gn 3; Gn 6). Would there be any greater mortification than what God had to go through in this way? God had to retrieve what he had lost. He deserves happiness by restoring all things in heaven and on earth and mankind, who has fallen into death (1 Cor 15:27-28).

 

The Old and New Testaments, the Bible, were given to us through the prophets so that such facts could be made known to the world. The scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35). God promised what he would fulfill in the future, and he has been fulfilling all his promises accordingly (Jn 19:30; Rv 21:6). It was also noted to us that no one must add to or subtract from Revelation in the New Testament (Rv 22:18-19), and that it was given to us, so that when it happens, we will believe (Jn 14:29).

 

God established promises with Abraham in Gn 15. Four generations, after the descendants of Abraham went to Egypt, God fulfilled his promises to Abraham through Moses. God also established promises with the Old Testament prophets. Roughly about 600 years later, God fulfilled them through Jesus. The promises in the New Testament have also been fulfilled, today, at the time of Revelation (Rv 21:6). The Lord told us prophecies in advance, so that when they happen, we will believe (Jn 14:29). We, therefore, must see the embodiment of the prophecies (the physical realities) and believe in them.

 

The prophets of old were persecuted, as it was written in Acts 7:51-53 and Mt 5:11-12. Likewise, persecution continues even today. Those who persecute others are the pastors of Satan, just like Adam, who betrayed the Lord. Such people shout as if they were the orthodox pastors of God, but on the inside, they are filled with the spirits of the devil and untruth. These are the ones who killed the prophets and the apostles. They faced death in their attempt to pass the word of God on to us.

 

How can we say that we are true believers, if we disregard the Bible, which they gave us under such circumstances? If we neglect the Bible, will we be able to live in heaven with them, who were martyred for our sake? (Rv 20:4-6) Everyone must strive to know the Bible so that they can understand the meaning of the Bible and act according to it.

 

God chose people who were born of the gene of Adam—the sinner, who received the spirit of Satan—to restore his kingdom. They also ended up betraying God. Cain (Gn 4:1-15), Ham and Canaan (Gn 9:20-27), Balaam (Num 22), and Solomon (1 kgs 11) broke the covenants with God and betrayed him just like Adam (Hos 6:7). Since this was a fact, there was a need for God to promise a new work through Jeremiah, about 2,600 years ago (Jer 31:22, 27, 31). The new work was to promise, not the sinful gene of Adam, but the holy seed of God, a seed without sin or defect. The new work was also to promise God’s new kingdom and a new people (Mt 26:26-29; Lk 22:14-20; Heb 8:10).

 

Roughly about 600 years after these promises were established, God sent his Son Jesus. He was born of a virgin, Mary, through God’s seed (Is 7:14; Mt 1:18-23). God was with Jesus and planted his seed (Lk 8:11), the secrets of heaven, through Jesus (Mt 3:16-17; Mt 13:24). This gospel of the kingdom of heaven (God’s spiritual seed) was to be proclaimed to the whole world as a testimony to all people. Jesus promised in the NT that the end of the world would come if the gospel would be proclaimed to the whole world (Mt 24:14), and that he would return to harvest the crops of the seed that was sown (Mt 13:30, 39; Mt 26:26-29; Heb 8:10).

 

It has been about 2,000 years since Jesus sowed God’s seed (Mt 13). Two thousand years was the time period during which God’s seed of the gospel was sown, and the gospel was proclaimed to the whole world. The gospel of God has been preached to the ends of the world today, and the time of the harvest has come. Jesus has returned with his angels, and the harvesting has begun (Rv 14:14-16).

 

Jesus planted his seed in his field, but the devil came and scattered his seed as well. Two types of seed have been growing together until the time of harvest (Jer 31:27; Mt 13:24-30). At the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, harvesting angels (Mt 13:39) harvest good grain-like believers with sickles and bring them to the barn (Mt. Zion), where the throne of God is (Rv 14). The sickles, in the hands of the harvesters, symbolize the believers who have the word and do the work of harvesting. The firstfruits, that are to be harvested, are those born of the word of truth (Jas 1:18). God creates his new kingdom through these firstfruits (Rv 7; Rv 14). Just as God had promised, to the prophet, Jeremiah, God came to Jesus and established the new covenant. And according to that very promise, God is finally creating his new kingdom.

 

The weeds—which indicate the children of the devil, born of the devil’s seed—are first tied up in bundles to be burned. Those who tie the weeds in bundles are false pastors like the Pharisees in Mt 23. The place where they are tied up, is their own church.

 

Do you believe in this word of promise? This is the new covenant, which is the New Testament. This is the promise and the fulfilled physical realities. This is the physical fulfillment that the believers must see, understand, and believe in order to attain salvation. This is what the believers must put their faith in.

 

The following is the summary of what has been discussed thus far: God promised to sow two types of seed about 2,600 years ago. God came to Jesus roughly 600 years after the promise was made. God sowed his seed, whereas, the Pharisees planted the seed of the devil, the beast. Before Jesus’ ascension, he promised to return at the end of the world to harvest. From that time on, Jesus’ promise has been proclaimed to the whole world, over the course of 2,000 years. The harvest, in fact, has begun today at the appointed time. This time of harvest, is the time for Mt 24 and the events of all the chapters of Revelation, to be fulfilled.

For the sake of the churches, the Lord has chosen a person who saw and heard the physical fulfillment [of Revelation] at the very location it was fulfilled. He appointed that person as his messenger and has sent him to testify to the churches, today, on his behalf, about the fulfillment of his promises in the New Testament.

 

In the world, there are the believers of God, who believe in the gospel of the kingdom of heaven (prophecy), and who anticipate its fulfillment, just as recorded in Mt 24:14. For their sake, we are making known that it has been fulfilled. Whoever verifies this testimony and believes in it, will acquire heaven and eternal life. This is the New Testament promise. This is the actual faith that will lead people to salvation.

 

God fulfilled his promise with Abraham at the time of Moses, and he also fulfilled his promises with the Old Testament prophets at Jesus’ first coming. Likewise, Jesus’book of Revelation, has been fulfilled today. If someone refuses to hear and believe in this, he proves to be born of the seed of the weeds, just like the Pharisees at the first coming. The one who believes in it and is harvested, on the other hand, proves to be born of God’s seed.

Two captains will sink the ship.

 Two captains will sink the ship.

It is a Turkish old saying.

It means you should only have one Captain or leader of any given group or organization. If 2 "captains" are trying to be in charge, they are going to do more damage than good.

Today, we will look into the sea, ship and captain in the Bible.

 

 

 

 

The Figurative Sea, Ship & Captain

 

 

 

 Main reference: Rv 18

What are the figurative sea, ship, and captain? And what is the truth? God promised in Ps 78 to tell the next generation the hidden things from of old in parables, and Jesus spoke things hidden since the creation of the world in parables and did not say anything without using a parable (Mt 13:34).

Jesus spoke in parables using the 4 gospels and Revelation explaining what was to come, which are the secrets of heaven. Among all those secrets, I would like to talk about the truth of the sea, captain, and merchant which is the wine of adulteries in Rv 18.

 

In Revelation it says that something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. What is the difference between this ship and the ship in Rv 18?

 

It is as follows.

The figurative 'sea' is the world (Dan 7:3, 17), the 'ship' is the church, and the 'captain' is the pastor. The ship of Rv 8:8 is the tabernacle church of the chosen people, and the ship of Rv 18 is the church of false pastors who are the Gentiles’ beast. Revelation 8 and 18 are words about the fall of the church of the chosen people and the church of the Gentile Babylon.

According to what is written in Daniel 7, the beast in the sea was the king (pastor) of the world. The sea was the world and the beast that came out of the sea was a man. Likewise, the sea, ship and captain in Rv 18 do not have a literal meaning but they represent the world, the church of the world and the pastors that belong to the world. The wine of adulteries, which the merchants trade with, are commentaries and lies.

 

The apostle Paul said that 'we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the tongues will cease and prophecies will pass away. Then we shall see face to face.' Then the apostle John said the Spirit of truth is coming (Jn 14:26), and he will teach you and remind you of everything and will guide you into all truth (Jn 16:13). The promised pastor of the New Testament whom the Spirit of truth is with (Rv19:10, 22:16-17) takes the open scroll (Rev.10), testifies to the fulfilled truth he saw and heard, and his testimony is the truth.

 

All the people in Rv 17 and 18 are those in Rv 13 and 12, and the people in Rv 15 and 16 are the same as those in Rv 13. And the figures (the destroyers as Nicolaitans, Balaam, Balak, Jezebel) in Rv 2 (the chosen people from the tabernacle who became betrayers) were the people in Rv 6, 8 and 9. The location of the events (of every chapter) is the one from Rv 2 and 3 as well as Rv 13 and 12. As the temple of Jerusalem (the alter of John the Baptist who prepared the way) was where the prophecy of the Old Testament was fulfilled, the events of the second coming are taking place in the tabernacle of the one who prepares the way today.

 

In Rv 8, the captain is the pastor and his merchandize is represented by the wine of adulteries that the pastor testifies are proven to be false. The captain, the false pastor is lamenting in Rv 18.

Lies are not revealed words from God but what was given by the devil, the liar. To those who receive lies the spirit of the devil goes in, which is like getting married to the devil (Rv18). By adopting their organization and doctrines, they are judged and lose all the merchandize, and they are lamenting and crying for not being able to trade without any merchandize. By not getting merchandize from the devil, the marriage is over. This is the judgment on the ship, captain and the merchant in Rv18.

 

Other than those who receive the revealed words from the promised pastor, the one who overcomes (Rv 2,3), there is no one who could know this as well as Jesus, and the one who was sent by Jesus today. I pray for all of you to know Jesus and the one sent by him with the revealed words rather than the law of humans to get sealed with the revealed words and attain salvation.

What are you praying for?

 

 

Do you pray? What do you pray for?

 

For your family, for your health, for your job, for your success, for your school grade, for your relationship...... all about you?

 

Or for the children in the development countries, for the poor, for unbelievers, for the country, for the sicks...... ?

 

Well, Jesus said we should seek FIRST his kingdom and his righteousness, AND all these things(what shall we eat? what shall we drink?...)will given to you as well. 

Believers should seek first God’s kingdom and righteousness (Mt 6:33)

His kingdom and his righteousness

In whom do Christians believe? What are God’s kingdom and righteousness?

Christians believe in God. God’s kingdom is the kingdom of heaven, and God’s righteousness is God’s will. God wants his kingdom and his righteousness to come and be done on earth as they are done in heaven (Mt 6:10). The holy city New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven from God (Jn 14:3; Rv 4:8; Rv 21:1-3; Rv 3:12), and God will be with it forever. God’s kingdom and righteousness, therefore, are the establishment of this holy city and nation on earth.

The Lord’s Prayer is fulfilled in the following way: When Mt 6:33 says to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, it is telling us to seek God’s coming kingdom. We must also do God’s will on earth as it is done in heaven. Those who believe in the Lord’s word will do as he says. The place where his kingdom is fulfilled and his will is done is Shinchonji—the new heaven and new earth (Rv 21)—and the 12 tribes made up of those who are sealed (Rv 7; Rv 14:1).

To learn more about God’s kingdom, let us see what Jesus promised in the Bible.

The promises Jesus made in the Bible

There is only one God, one Jesus, one Counselor, one Bible, one promised pastor, and one heaven. There is only one place all nations must come and worship (Rv 15:2-5). This is the place Christians must go after the earth is harvested (Rv 14:14-16; Rv 14:1-4). There is only one person who has received the opened scroll (Rv 10), one person with the wisdom to testify about the meaning of Revelation’s prophecies (Rv 1:2; Rv 22:8; Rv 22:16), and only one who overcomes to receive the promises of Rv 2-3.

The fulfillment of the book of Revelation starts with the appearance of the seven stars (seven messengers). These seven messengers receive seven letters (Rv 2-3), and then the events of Revelation unfold with the seven seals (Rv 6; Rv 8:1), the seven trumpets (Rv 8-9; Rv 11:15), the seven bowls of God’s wrath (Rv 16), the wedding of the Lamb, and the first resurrection (Rv 19-20). The first resurrection occurs in the holy city of the millennium.

There are many kinds of people in the world with many kinds of beliefs, but regardless of your nationality or your faith, the Bible and God’s will are united as one. Christians all around the world must come to the promised place (i.e. the new heaven and new earth of Rv 21). They must all wash their robes in the river of the water of life, which flows as clear as crystal from the throne of God. No one can enter the holy city without washing his or her robes (Rv 22:1; Rv 22:14). Today, at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, things are happening just like in the days of Noah and Lot (Mt 24:37-44; Lk 17:26-35). Only those who believe the promises of the New Testament will receive salvation.

All things must happen in order.

Waiting for the second coming of Jesus?
What do you think the coming of Jesus would be like?

Clouds, Angels, trumpets...... are these what you are thinking? Interesting
Do you think you will see these things from the sky one day?

Then you'd better look up the sky day and night 24/7. Because you never know when exactly time that will be...

However, if you read the 2 Thessalonians 2:1~4, you may be able to expect what is going to happen before the second coming of Jesus.

2 Thessalonians 2

New International Version (NIV)

2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, ² not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. ³ Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness^[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. ⁴ He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
    

The Events of Betrayal, Destruction,

& Salvation

Main reference:

2 Thes 2:1-4 (Mt 12:30-32, Mt 12:43-45, 2 Pt 2, Jude)

The main content written in the Bible is about ‘history, moral teachings, prophecy, and fulfillment’, ‘the events of creation’, and ‘the events of betrayal, destruction, and salvation’.

 In the main reference (2 Th 2:1-4), who are the betrayers, the destroyers and the savior? In past biblical history, we can recognize who they were, but no one knows about the betrayers, the destroyers and the savior prophesied in the New Testament.

 
The betrayers are those who follow God’s way, but ultimately betray it. The destroyers have people they destroy and the savior saves the people who are destroyed. The Bible mentions when and where the three events of the betrayal, destruction, and salvation’ are, but people cannot see and recognize the fact with their own eyes and hearts in darkness. It is ‘the Counselor who comes in the name of the Lord’ whom Jesus promised who testifies of these events.

The Counselor will teach people all things and will remind them of everything Jesus promised 2,000 years ago and he is the Spirit of truth that will guide people into all truth (Jn 14:26, Jn 16:8-15) and also is the promised pastor, the one who overcomes with whom the Counselor, the Spirit of truth dwells. John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah (Mt 11:12-13, Lk 1:17), Jesus came in the name of God (Jn 5:43), and the Counselor is the promised pastor who comes in the name of Jesus (Jn 14:26). He is the Counselor whom we must meet. Believers who do not believe this are false believers who pretend to believe in God and Jesus.

The congregation are ignorant of the Bible and are zealous for God, but their zeal is based on their pastors’ words. But the Bible says that only the one who does the will of God will enter the kingdom of heaven (Mt 7:21). The congregation members should not respond to their pastors with ‘Amen’ without thinking at all, but check if the words belong to the world or God’s words (Jn 3:31-34).

The scriptural ‘the end of the world’, ‘the end of the age’, refers to the end of religion when the destroyers (Satan’s pastors) appear, deceive churches and their congregations, and after forcing them to betray they destroy them (Eze 38:14-17). Today also is the time like mentioned above. All churches (all nations) are in captivity by Babylon (Rv 18). Satan and his pastors who go into captivity make their congregation members marry their spirits (Rv 18:23). This is when Jesus chooses one pastor to send his letters which tell the seven messengers who betrayed Jesus to repent (Rv 2, 3).

The letter is regarding ‘to fight and overcome Satan and his group of the Nicolaitans’ and ‘the one who overcomes will be given everything promised in Rv 2 and 3’. In addition, Jesus showed the three secrets and the events of all the chapters of Revelation to the chosen pastor and commanded him to preach what is shown by giving the opened revelation. Jesus told before, promised in prophecy of what would happen in Revelation, so that when it does happen we will believe (Jn 14:29). When the Revelation is fulfilled, we can realize the actual entities only through the chosen pastor who has seen and heard all the chapters of Revelation.

As mentioned in Revelation, the chosen people (Jesus’ saints), the betrayers fulfill the roles of betrayal, the destroyers that of destruction (Rv 13), and the savior fulfills that of salvation. First the group of Satan in Rv 13 overcame against God’s side, and after this event God’s new people overcame against them by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony in Rv 12. From then, the kingdom of our God and the salvation have come.

At Jesus’ second coming, before the promised pastor, the one who

overcomes, appears, those who ‘claim to have received salvation and to

be orthodox’ are false pastors and false believers. It is truly the promised

pastor who testifies about the actual entities of all the chapters of

Revelation.

Amen!
