When a physical earthquake takes place in another part of the world and we do not know about it, we don’t feel anything and we may not feel anything about it until we hear the news on TV or someone testifies about the event. And if we never know about it, we might never feel anything in our hearts about the situation, right?
It is the same about the fulfillment of prophecies. If you never knew the prophecies were being fulfilled, you would not feel anything stirring in your heart about the present time.
Revelation is being fulfilled today. It is different from what you expected because we are not used to doing what Paul says in Php 2:12, “working out our salvation with fear and trembling.” Don’t we just have the mindset that if we believe and if we study the Bible at our own time and pace and in our own way, whether understanding completely or not, it is okay?
Don’t you think the early disciples of Jesus, many of whom gave up their lives for Jesus, eagerly examined the scriptures and studied to make sure what was happening was happening according to the scriptures? You know the Berean’s of Acts 17:11! Especially since to join Jesus’ organization was to join a group known as a sect (Acts 24:5) and Paul says in Acts 24:14, “However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect.”
I was very academic about joining Shinchonji. I studied first for about a year in total. I asked question upon question, and then even more questions. I studied for tests and listened to the entire 6-month course. I heard the one who overcomes speak once before I entered the church. In that entire time, the only book I followed was the Bible. I was not captivated by anything else besides the words of the Bible being explained. As someone who has been a Christian my entire life, I can discern when someone is giving milk vs. solid food (Heb 5:11-6:3). I can also discern when commentaries are used without scriptures and when scripture is used to adequately explain scripture (1 Jn 4:5-6; Jn 3:31-34).
I was also very spiritual about entering Shinchonji. I prayed more than ever before. Because of receiving this precious word and such a clear explanation, I myself now have the desire to teach others this word, so that they could receive the same life. Before Shinchonji, I never had a desire to teach others the Bible, except to just lead them to saying the sinner’s prayer. I am not forced to teach anyone, but because of my love for others, I want them to receive this same life.
Now after being in Shinchonji for eight years, I have confirmed again and again, that this word is truth. The posts and comments from those who oppose Shinchonji has even strengthened my faith in this truth, because those who oppose cannot explain what Shinchonji can explain. They are also unable to do what Shinchonji has been able to do: explain the book of Revelation with scriptures and give the testimony of its fulfillment (Rv 1:1-2)
As the word is being spread across the world, I pray that none of you would be the scary reality of those who hear of this testimony first but become the last (Mt 19:30).
