Summary of the New Testament Prophecies and Their Physical
Fulfillment
Just as
God had fulfilled the prophecies in the Old Testament (Jn 19:30), he made
prophecies in the New Testament and will fulfill them (Mt 26:26-29; Lk
22:16-20; Rv 21:6). In particular, the book of Revelation summarizes all the
prophecies spoken throughout the New Testament. Revelation begins to be
fulfilled as the work of the seven lamps of the seven messengers appear (Rv
1:19-20). In addition, the events to be fulfilled in Revelation are the work of
betrayal, destruction, and salvation. Precisely, Revelation is fulfilled when
the betrayers, destroyers, and the savior appear in the same place and carry out
each one’s tasks according to the prophecies. In the midst of fulfilling this
work, an inevitable spiritual war takes place between God’s army and Satan’s
army. At the end, the victory goes into God’s hand as Satan is seized (Rv 12).
Thus,
this process explains the end of one generation (the generation of churches,
Spiritual Israel), and the creation of another generation (New Spiritual
Israel). Rv 6 shows how one generation is put to an end. Rv 7, on the other
hand, shows how a new generation is created. Rv 13 explains the destruction of
the former generation as a result of receiving a mark from the beast, Satan. Rv
14, in contrast, explains the creation of a new world as its people are sealed
by God. Rv 18 portrays how all nations become deceived and get married to the
devil, and how they are eventually ruined by the devil. Unlike Rv 18, Rv 19
describes the new generation and the marriage between believers and the Lamb,
Jesus, after a judgment takes place in Rv 18. The 144,000 of the twelve tribes,
the firstfruits who are harvested (Rv 7; Rv 14), become people of the new world
as they are sealed by the revealed word from heaven. What have been stated
above are God’s prophecies (i.e. promises) and the physical fulfillment, which
requires our faith (Jn 14:29).
It is not
surprising that many pastors are cursing and criticizing Shincheonji Church of
Jesus (SCJ) today, but what is ironic is that many of them have been
plagiarizing and teaching the revealed word of SCJ to their own congregation
members (Jer 23:30). If they refuse to belong to us and yet continue stealing
SCJ’s teachings just like the fallen angels (2 Pt 2:4), they will not be able
to escape from God’s punishment. If they are, however, willing to become one
with us, they, too, will be blessed.
Believers—who have
realized how churches have become corrupt today and how truthful SCJ’s revealed
word is—have been flocking to SCJ. If anyone labels SCJ as a cult simply
because members of his church left him, his words are no different from the
words of the religious leaders at the first coming (Mt 12)—those who kept
believers from going to Jesus by calling him a cult leader (Mt 23:13).
Shincheonji
Church of Jesus is not a cult; it is a clear-cut orthodoxy (Rv 15; Rv 21). True
heretics are those who label the orthodoxy as a cult—those who called Jesus and
his disciples heretics at the first coming; and Babylon is the true cult that
appears in Rv 17 and Rv 18 at the second coming. Even at this moment, a great
number of pastors and believers are coming to SCJ to receive the revealed
word.
