About Adding and Taking Away from Revelation

About Adding and Taking Away 
from Revelation



Main reference: Rv 22:18-19






Revelation is the summary of the promise God made in the New Testament. God made this promise so that when it does happen we will believe (Jn 14:29). Just as Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament at the First Coming (Jn 19:30), he also fulfills the New Testament at the Second Coming (Rv 21:6). The people at the First Coming (the Jews) persecuted and killed Jesus, whom God was with, because they did not know that all of the Old Testament was fulfilling at that time. Likewise, if one does not know that the New Testament is fulfilling at the Second Coming, they will also persecute in the same way Jesus was persecuted at the First Coming.




God said that no one in heaven or on earth can open or even look inside the book sealed with seven seals, the book of Revelation (Rv 5). This has been a mystery that God (and Jesus) will fulfill. If one does not recognize when the fulfillment takes place, how can he believe in it? Jesus fulfilled this work and made it known to the churches through the messenger (the One Who Overcomes) who saw and heard these things (Rv 22:16). Just as God fulfilled the Old Testament and preached the fulfillment through Jesus at the First Coming, Jesus fulfills the New Testament at the Second Coming and preaches the fulfillment through the One Who Overcomes as he promised in Revelation 2 and Revelation 3. Therefore, all the congregation members and pastors in the entire world must meet and listen to the messenger sent by Jesus to know about the fulfillment. If they defy the promised messenger, they will not know about the fulfillment of Revelation, nor believe in it. As a result, they will not receive salvation in the same way physical Israel didn't receive salvation at the time of the First Coming.




The work of the betrayer, the work of the destroyer, and the work of the savior are recorded in Revelation. These three types of people appear and carry out their work as recorded. How can one receive salvation if they do not see or know about these people? Church members say that they have faith in their pastors, but their pastors do not know Revelation.



Furthermore, the end of the age, the time of Revelation, is the time when all the earthly pastors are corrupt. Anyone who knows the New Testament of the Bible will admit to this. It is recorded in Revelation 6 and Revelation 21 that Spiritual Israel ends in the era of Jesus’ Second Coming which is the time of Revelation, just as Adam’s generation ended at Noah’s time, Noah’s generation at Moses’ time, and Moses’s generation of physical Israel at the time of Jesus’ First Coming.



Even though the corrupt Spiritual Israel of today are turning the churches into the pastors’ own business enterprises, pastors deceive their congregation into thinking that the pastors have received salvation, and that they are leading the congregation to salvation. Despite their lack of knowledge of the Word of God in the New Testament, the pastors today are guiding their church members by their own thoughts and own knowledge.


Because the church members regard their pastors’ words above God’s Word, God is now fulfilling the prophecy—he is ending the corrupt world of religion and starting a new era.



The believers of today are not even acknowledging the words in Lk 17:26-30 that Jesus’ Second Coming will be like the days of Noah and Lot. Even though it is recorded that one will receive curses (plagues) if he adds or takes away from Revelation (Rv 22:18-29), they do not take it to heart.



Both pastors and church members alike have added and taken away from Revelation, and they are not taking these words to heart. It is written that one must be harvested to receive salvation, but they are fearful of being harvested and fearful of being sealed by the Word of revelation. How can they not be Satan’s army? They are also afraid of becoming a part of the twelve tribes of the promised nation. Therefore, they are not believers of God, but people who oppose God. They are unlawful children and enemies who refute and stand against God. They are no different from the pastors and the church members at the First Coming.




In this era, those who believe in God and do not add or take away from Revelation are those born of God’s seed, the promised people of God, and the eternal children of God. They open a new era and become the people of heaven who live eternally with their Father God in heaven.

From the Tens of Thousands of Religions, Which Religion is the Greatest?

From the Tens of Thousands of Religions, 
Which Religion is the Greatest?



Main reference: Gn 1, Jn 1:1-5, Rv 21



There are tens of thousands of different religions in the world. From these religions, which one is the greatest? Those who practice these religions believe in their own respective religions and share their teachings, because they think that it is the greatest. The words and actions of a person born and raised in China will reflect the Chinese culture, and the words and actions of a person born and raised in Russia will reflect the Russian culture. There are huge differences in cultures among the countries, nations, and races in the world today of the 21st century.




As stated in the main reference verses, there is the work of re-creation in Genesis, and according to John 1:1-5, without God and the Word, “nothing was made that has been made.” Why would the one God create tens of thousands of different religions? Did God really create them? Perhaps a deceiving spirit who acts like the true God exists and deceives mankind.  Perhaps this deceiving spirit created many different kinds of religions.  Then how many gods and spirits exist? The world is complicated. The world is formless and empty and filled with darkness due to the countless religions. Which one is true and which one is false? 

  



We saw in the 6,000 years of history in the Bible, the differences among the worlds that God once guided—the world of Adam, the world of Noah, the world of Moses, and the world of Jesus’ First Coming. The world in the Second Coming has its differences too. There is a reason why many religions exist today and a reason for their differences. The Bible states, “Do not believe every spirit.”  Take a look at 1 Jn 4:1. 




Even though there is only one true God, there was also an archangel created by God, who trusted in its own strength and wisdom. The archangel betrayed its own Creator, the true God, and called himself a god (refer to 2 Thes 2:1-4, Isa 14:12-20, Ez 28:1-19, Gn 3). The archangel who betrayed in the spiritual realm became Satan, and as a result, a group of Satan came to existence even in the physical realm. Satan declared war against the true God (refer to Rv 13, 12). Many religions exist today, because there is a religion created by the true God and other religions created by the spirit who betrayed.

Man tends to think that all that he has—what he received, his thoughts, and all he invented—came from the true God. He teaches them to others, thinking that he is delivering the best moral instructions and the best truth.  However, there is only one true God, and all that comes from the true God is consistent and one. Then, where did all these religions and scriptures come from? Just because a religion teaches to speak kind words does not mean that these instructions are from the true God. It is written in 2 Cor 11:13-15, “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” Satan imitates God and creates his own “Way” to deceive and mislead the people. This is false religion. There are many false religions, and their believers have the misconception that these came from the true God.              




The true religion from God has continued since the time of Genesis to the time of Revelation. Never did it unlawfully imitate other religions nor pretend to be them.  However, false religions have unlawfully imitated God in many ways in the 6,000 years of history as seen in the Bible. This is a scheme to deceive. The word and the work of God provide clear and thorough evidence of the genealogy and eras that came down through the years. God had made a covenant (prophecy), and when the gospel of the kingdom of heaven was preached to the whole world as a testimony to all nations (Mt 24:14), He fulfilled the prophecy accordingly.



The covenant (prophecy) God had made with Abraham fulfilled at the time of Moses, the covenant made with the Old Testament prophets fulfilled during Jesus’ first coming, and the prophecies of the New Testament made through Jesus and Apostle John has fulfilled without adding or taking away  from them (refer to Jn 19:30, Rv 21:6). God does nothing without revealing His plan (refer to Am 3:7). If there are no prophecies and fulfillment, then on what basis are you going to believe?




Being good and kindhearted are basic etiquettes for man to keep. These are not enough for religion. Religion is the teaching of the Spirit. Instructions to be good and kindhearted are taught in schools and homes in the world. They are simply the knowledge and the commandments of man that are completely different from the promises God prophesied. God told us to believe when the promises are fulfilled (Jn 13:19, 14:29).




In Deuteronomy 18:18-22, God said, “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.  But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death. You may say to yourselves, ‘How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?’  If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.”

If a religion and its scripture are indeed from the true God, the scripture should have contents on history, moral instructions, prophecy and fulfillment. If it only has history and men’s commandments and no prophecies that are to fulfill and no content about their fulfillment, then the words on that scripture are not from the true God. There is no need to continue waiting or believing in it. A scripture that has promises that will fulfill in the future is believable if it also has contents about the physical entities that appeared according to the ancient prophecies. A religion cannot call itself a religion simply because it teaches the empty commandments of men such as, “Be good and kindhearted, and lead a good and kind life.” 



The time of judgment has come for the religions. All religions must become one. Each must bring its scripture, and before the people of all nations, must examine and confirm‍ which one is the true religion. We must select the religion and scripture that are the most believable. From my observations, the scriptures and religions of the world are simply the knowledge and commandments of men. And their believers have fallen deeply into their own religion.




The Christian scripture is one of many scriptures available. It consists of 66 books and contains many prophecies written by different prophets who saw and heard them from God. It also has contents on their fulfillment. The content covers from the time of Adam until today, and how promises were made in advance in each era about the coming of a pastor. This scripture is called the Bible. The Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Orthodox Church, and the Protestant Church use the same Bible for their lives of faith. 




 God fulfilled the covenant He had made with Abraham at the time of Moses, and He fulfilled the promises He had made with the Old Testament prophets at the First Coming of Jesus. Jesus was the promised pastor of the Old Testament. Many prophets prophesied about him. Prophet Isaiah wrote, “The virgin will be with a child (Jesus)” (Isa 7:14). Prophet Micah wrote, “But you, Bethlehem […] out of you will come for me one who will be a ruler over Israel” (Mi 5:2). Prophet Hosea wrote, “out of Egypt I called my son” (Hos 11:1).  And Prophet Zechariah wrote, “See your king comes to you […] riding on a donkey […] He will proclaim peace to the nations” (Zec 9:9-10).  All these prophecies fulfilled. Wouldn’t you believe in the promise and wait for it to fulfill if, in the past, there had already been fulfillment of the promises (prophecies)? The promised pastor of the New Testament is also prophesied in this manner. But other scriptures, other religions, have neither prophecies nor fulfillment. 




God has spoken regarding Today, the era of the New Testament, that all religions in the world are corrupt. Even if believers possess the true holy Scripture, they themselves have become corrupt. That is why the end of age for religion has come. Although the holy Scripture, the Bible, is perfect, if the believers are corrupt, the Scripture becomes a useless book. God will fulfill the promises of the New Testament. Anyone who perceives and knows the promises will receive salvation like Noah, Lot, and the disciples of Jesus. But those who do not perceive due to their corruption, their own thoughts, their own judgment, will not escape destruction. Therefore, we must act according to God’s will.



The true God has given us the true Bible, in which He recorded thorough details of the things that will fulfill at the time of the New Testament. There are contents about the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior. There are details on who the betrayers are and how and why they betrayed. It is written that the destroyers are the pastors of Satan, as well and explains how they destroyed, who they destroyed, and with what they destroyed.  God also made known in detail about the kind of individual He chooses, in the midst of these events, to be the savior. He explains how, when, where, and what the savior uses to bring salvation. 



How can anyone receive salvation if he does not know the three mysteries and the physical entities of the betrayer, the destroyer, and the savior? To whom can he give salvation if he himself is corrupt and ruined? How can he know these things when his way to the door of heaven is blocked? This is the reason the events of the end of age are like those in the days of Noah and Lot (Lk 17:26-30). Isn’t the devil killing the pastors who belong to him, and are not the pastors killing their own congregation members and leading them to the devil? Young adults and students criticize, swear, and curse others in anti-café (blogs and discussion forums). Their words of lawlessness show that the morals of this world have plummeted to the ground. These actions are not taught in schools or at home. If the young adults and students did not learn these actions from the pastors of their denominations, where else did they learn them? Their churches should be called, the “churches of the devil” rather than the “churches of the world.”   What would God do with these corrupt religions? That is why He spoke of the end of the world, the end of age for religions, and promised that He will re-create everything.   



Re-creation is happening now. Come!  Check for yourself. Believe and receive salvation. Amen!

The Time for Humanity to Receive the Highest Truth


The Time for Humanity to
Receive the Highest Truth






If the process of revealing God’s theology were like the life of a student, Adam’s generation would be kindergarten, Noah’s generation would be elementary school, Moses generation would be middle school, Jesus’ first coming would be high school, and Jesus’ second coming (the time of Revelation) would be university.

God has been working from the time of Adam to the time of Jesus’ second coming. It is at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment that God finally bestows the highest truth upon the world (Rv 10, Rv 2:17; Mt 24:45-47). God spoke through Jesus at the time of the first coming. “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear,” (Jn 16:12). Jesus also said that he would no longer use figurative language when the Counselor, the spirit of truth, comes. He promised to tell us plainly about the father (Jn 16:13-15, 25). According to Jn 17:17, the word of God is truth. Thus, the spirit of truth is a holy spirit who brings God’s word.

This spirit of truth comes in the name of Jesus and dwells within a person (Jn 14:26; Rv 10).


John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah (Mt 11:10-14; Lk 1:13-17), and Jesus came in the name of God the father (Jn 5:43). The Counselor, the spirit of truth, comes in the name of Jesus (Jn 14:26), and the person in whom the spirit of the Counselor dwells comes in the name of the Counselor. Since Jesus came in the name of God, seeing Jesus was the same as seeing God (Jn 14:8-10). In the same way, since the Counselor comes in the name of Jesus, seeing the Counselor is the same as seeing Jesus. The spirit of Jesus dwells in that person (refer to Rv 3:12, 21, Rv 22:16; Jn 14:26). In addition, believing the words of that person who comes in the name of the Counselor is the same as believing Jesus.





Since the physical fulfillment of the prophecies is being testified at the time of the second coming, people are able to see face to face instead of seeing only the figurative language (Jn 16:25; 1 Cor 13:10-12). This is why the time of Revelation’s fulfillment is the time when God’s highest truth of the past 6,000 years of God’s work is proclaimed.


Mere flesh is ignorant of God’s words. It will be difficult for them to understand and believe in the physical fulfillment of the prophecies even if they hear the testimony over and over again. Those who see and believe the physical fulfillment, however, will be given the best blessing of the truth and they will receive salvation.

The Proof for Believing in God


The Proof for Believing in God
 



God is the one and only God (Jn 17:3). He is the creator of heaven and earth and the source of all blessings (Gn 1:1; Rom 1:20). What is the evidence for believing in God?
 
God is the founder of religion and the author of the scriptures (i.e. the Bible). Christians must carry out their lives of faith based on the scriptures. Living people have neither been to heaven, nor have they seen God. We believe in both heaven and God, however, because of the scriptures and because of the spiritual path that has been passed down to us.
 
What acts as evidence to prove a person believes in God? What do we need for God to acknowledge our faith?
 
Since we cannot see him, believing in God’s word is the same as believing in God (refer to Rom 10:17; Heb 11:1). Faith in God’s word, therefore, provides evidence that a person believes in God. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was fully God.” Wherever the word is, there is God; wherever God is, there is the word. Thus, believing in God’s word is the same as believing in God.
 
 
Since the word is life and light, people with the word become light and possess life (Jn 1:1-4, Jn 8:12). The word is also symbolized by the seed of God. Hence, a person born of God’s seed is God’s son (refer to Mt 13:37-38; Jas 1:18; 1 Jn 3:9) and can be created in God’s image and likeness. People without the word, however, do not have God, light, or life. Without being born of God’s seed, they cannot be created into God’s image or likeness.
 
Jesus was the son of God and he was the true light and life. He was also the word created in God’s image and likeness (refer to 1 Jn 1:1-3) because he was born of God’s seed. If we, like Jesus, also receive and are born of God’s seed, we will become like Jesus. This is, in fact, God’s will.
 
The type of faith God acknowledges is faith in the words God promised. When the fulfillment appears according to the words of promise, the faith of people who believe in that fulfillment proves that they really believe in God.
 
Just because a person claims to believe in God with his lips, attends church, makes monetary offerings, does volunteer service, and serves his pastor does not mean that he is acknowledged by God as a true believer. People who are zealous without knowing God’s will or the true meaning of righteousness are simply trying to lift themselves up above others (refer to Rom 10:2-3). More than offering money or giving worship, God wants us to truly know him (refer to Hos 6:6). We prove we believe in God by knowing God and by believing in and obeying his promises (Rv 1:2-3).
 
If we were to give a group of Christians 100 or even 1,000 questions from the New Testament, how many people could answer just one question properly? It wouldn’t surprise me if none of them could answer those questions properly. If this is the case, is it right for these people to claim that they are orthodox or that they have already received salvation and the holy spirit? The Bible says, “Now this is eternal life—that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent,” (Jn 17:3). The Bible also says, “For the spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God,” (1 Cor 2:10).
 
We must be honest before others and even more honest before God. Our yes should be yes and our no should be no. We should claim to know only what we really know and admit that we do not know what we do not know. It is only when we earnestly pray to God—when seek to know him and his will—that God will reveal himself to us.
 
Today is the same as the times of Noah and of Jesus’ first coming (Mt 24:37-39; Rv 11:8). The kingdom of heaven is indeed near. Everyone must repent. The words of the promises in the New Testament are being fulfilled. Believing in the words of the promises is believing in Jesus. No one can attain salvation unless they know the words of the promises and their physical fulfillment.
 
All the wealth, fame, and power in the world are nothing but empty dreams. They are not eternal life. We will become believers whom the Lord acknowledges when we seek eternal life and when we understand and obey the Lord’s will.

Meeting the Lord in the Clouds of the Air


Meeting the Lord
in the Clouds of the Air

 
Main references: 1 Thes 4:17; Ex 19:4; Mt 16:28; Mt 17:1-5; Mt 24:15-17; Rv 14:1-5; Lk 17:22-24; Jn 16:8-11; Jn 14:26; Mk 12:24, 27
 



It should be first pointed out that the New Testament includes scriptures that were written figuratively.

Meeting the Lord in the clouds of the air (1 Thes 4:17) refers to welcoming Jesus at the figurative Mt. Zion in his second coming (Rv 14). The Lord will come in the spirit, but the believers who welcome him are flesh. If this is the case, isn’t it unreasonable to think we will see the Lord with our naked eyes? Even if Jesus does come flying through the air, however, it will surely be impossible for us to levitate up to meet him. Both Jesus and Apostle John were inspired by the holy spirit and went up to heaven in the spirit (Jn 3:13; Rv 4). When Paul wrote 1 Thes 4:17, he referred to the same event that Jesus referred to in the gospels (Mt 24:30; Mk 13:26; Lk 21:27). We should remember that God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Is 55:9).

After the 70 disciples Jesus sent returned to him, Jesus told them, “Rejoice that your names stand written in heaven,” (Lk 10:20b). Jesus also said that his disciples did not belong to the world (Jn 15:19). Paul testified that our citizenship is in heaven (Phil 3:20). Taken together, these passages make it clear that going to the place where God dwells is going to heaven. When Jesus told Peter and his brother Andrew that he would make them fishers of men (Mt 4:18-20), he used fish as a metaphor for people. A fish that is caught and pulled up from the sea (Mt 13:47-48) is a person who is lifted up to be with the Lord (the owner of the ship).

Jesus also told his disciples, “There are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom,” (Mt 16:28). Six days after he said this to his disciples, he took three of his disciples and went up into the clouds on top of a high mountain (i.e. the mountain of transfiguration). Jesus showed them his appearance as it would be revealed at the time of the second coming (Mt 17:1-5).
 
In Ex 19:4, God told his people, “You [the Israelites] yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I lifted you [approximately 600,000 men, not counting  their families (Ex 12:37)] on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.” Were there real physical eagles that lifted God’s people out of Egypt at that time? One of God’s four living creatures (Rv 4) is an eagle. Thus, these eagles undoubtedly represent spirits. When Ex 19 says the Israelites were lifted up on eagles’ wings, it means that God’s angels delivered them out of Egypt and led them to be with God.

 
What, then, does it mean for us to be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air?
 
This means that our spirits—not our flesh—are lifted up into the air like Ezekiel was (Ez 3:12-15). Just as John was lifted to heaven in the spirit (Rv 4), being caught up in the clouds means that the four living creatures lift up the living spirits of those who are still physically alive with the living spirits of those who are physically dead. Since the spirits of those who have died physically are invisible, it is as if they are hidden by clouds. After being lifted up, both the spirits of those who are physically dead and the spirits of those who are still alive will be gathered together at the figurative Mt. Zion. This is what it means for us to be lifted up into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. According to Jn 3:13, Jesus went up to heaven before his crucifixion. At that time, it was Jesus’ spirit, not his body, that was lifted up to heaven. Only later did the spirit of Apostle John also get lifted up to heaven in Rv 4. If our physical bodies will really be taken up to heaven, then, shouldn’t the bodies, and not the spirits, of Jesus and John have been taken up to heaven too? If Jesus ascended into heaven with his physical body, shouldn’t he be able to return with the same body? Why then did Jesus warn his followers that they would no longer be able to see him (Mt 23:39; Lk 13:35; Jn 16:8-10)? He was pointing out that he will not be coming in the same form when he returns; he will be coming in the spirit. In addition, if Jesus were coming back in his physical body, then the spirit of truth—the Counselor who comes in the name of the Lord—would not have any work to do. In that case, we would not need to fight against and overcome Satan; we would not need the wedding banquet. The 144,000 of the twelve tribes, the great multitude in white robes, and Mt. Zion, which God promised to create on Earth, would be unnecessary if our physical bodies are going to be lifted up to heaven.

The Physical Israelites were compared to the sun, moon, and stars (Gn 37:9-11) in the sky (heaven). When Paul talked about being caught up in the sky in 1 Thes 4:17, he was talking about the place where the twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel are with God, Jesus, the four living creatures, and the 24 elders (Rv 7, 14:1-5). Heaven is the location of God and the twelve tribes of his chosen people—the sun, moon, and stars of heaven (Rv 15).

The Sealed Scroll and Revelation


 
 
The Sealed Scroll and Revelation
 





 
 
 


 

What is the sealed scroll and what is revelation?




The Lord Jesus said in Mt 11:27, “All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the son and anyone to whom the son decides to reveal him.” He is saying that only the one who receives the revelation is able to know the Father. He also stated in Jn 17:3, “Now this is eternal life – that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.”



According to the prophecies in Is 29:9-13, pastors are blind because the revelation is nothing but a sealed scroll to them. This is why pastors preach the teachings of men; this is why those who learn the teachings of men from them say “Lord! Lord!“ paying mere lip-service to God. Despite their outward confessions of faith, their hearts are far from God. Habakkuk said that the revelation’s fulfillment awaits an appointed time (Hb 2:2-3). The book of Ezekiel explains that the revelation is opened at the appointed time when God’s chosen people are seized by gentiles. According to the prophecies in Ez 1-3, Jesus came into the world when the Israelites were under the control of gentiles. Jesus received the revelation from God and delivered it to the people (Mt 15:24; Mt 11:27). In the midst of this situation, Jesus proclaimed that no one knew the son except the Father, and that it was only the son, who had received the revelation, that knew the Father. He also proclaimed that eternal life was to know the only true Father and his son, Jesus.



“The revelation of Jesus Christ” is again mentioned in Rv 1:1. This revelation is passed down to God’s people in a very specific way. First, Jesus takes the sealed scroll from God’s hand in Rv 5. He begins to break the seals in Rv 6 and fulfills the prophecies according to what is written in the scroll. Beginning in Rv 8, the seven trumpets are sounded to proclaim the fulfillment. Then, in Rv 10, Jesus gives the opened scroll to one pastor and tells him where to go to deliver the message. Before the revelation is made known, it is only the teachings of men that are being taught; no one knows the true revelation. Although those who lack knowledge of the revelation draw near to God with their lips, their lives of faith are inadequate because their hearts are far from God.   
 


No one knows God, Jesus, and the one who overcomes except those who have received the revelation of Jesus Christ (i.e. the book of Revelation) through SCJ today. For this reason, no one truly has eternal life except these people in SCJ (Rv 1:1-3; Rv 7; Rv 10). Those who receive the revealed word from above will be able to know the only true God, Jesus, and the one who has come in the name of the Lord—the one who overcomes within whom the spirit of the Counselor dwells (Jn 14:26; Jn 17:3). Knowing these entities is eternal life. Today, God has granted everything to SCJ where the one who overcomes is (Rv 2-3; Rv 21:1-7). Among all the nations of the world, it is only SCJ that has mastered the book of Revelation. Just as Apostle Paul and Apostle John taught the revelation (Gal 1:11-12; Rv 10), people should forsake the teachings of men and learn the revelation from heaven in SCJ. I sincerely pray that everyone will obtain salvation by doing so.

True Believers

True Believers
 



Roughly 3,500 years ago, a man named Moses appeared in Egypt (Ex 2). Many people followed him because God was with Moses (Ex 3). Those who followed Moses were all believers. Moses was harshly persecuted by the Egyptians and by gentiles from other nations who did not believe in God (Ex 7; Ex 17). Roughly 2,000 years ago, a man named Jesus appeared in the nation of Israel (Mt 1). Many people followed Jesus because God was with him (Mt 3; Mt 21). This is why Jesus was intensely persecuted by many Israelites (Mt 27; Jn 8). Another 2,000 years have passed since that time. Now, a man named Manhee Lee has appeared in the nation of Korea. Because the spirit of the Counselor―the one who comes in the name of the Lord and speaks on his behalf―is with Manhee Lee (Jn 14; Jn 16), many believers follow him. This is why he is being persecuted by a great number of people in Korea (Rv 11; Rv 16).



If these men were ordinary they would not have been persecuted; ordinary men are not persecuted. They were persecuted because of the presence of the spirit of God with them. Religion was created by God in heaven. The book of scriptures of true religion is the book of God; it contains the will of God (2 Tm 3:16; 2 Pt 1:21; Gal 1:11-12). No one can carry out a proper life of faith according to the will of God without mastering his book and his will. The lives of faith that people carry out without knowing the will of God are carried out based on their own understanding. Anyone who carries out this kind of life of faith is not a believer who belongs to God, the founder of religion. It is only when God comes and reveals the meaning of the divine scriptures that we can truly understand the meaning of his book. Books people wrote after having studied the scriptures on their own simply present their author’s opinions (Ez 13:1-3).



The Bible says that God is the word, and Jesus, the son of God, is also the word (Jn 1:1-5; 1Jn 1:1-3). The one who has mastered the scriptures is the word made flesh (Jn 1:14; Rv 10) and truly knows the path. Those who walk without knowing the proper path have not mastered the word (i.e. the way). The testimony of God differs from the testimonies of men (Is 55:8-9). True believers who have mastered the word (i.e. the way) are persecuted because their testimonies come from God. The true meaning of the scriptures differs from a human understanding of the scriptures. True believers who have mastered the word are persecuted because they speak about the true meaning of the scriptures. No one in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth knows the meaning of God’s prophecies (Rv 5:1-4). We are able to understand the meaning when God comes and makes it known to us (Jn 14:26; 1 Cor 2:10; Rv 10).



We in SCJ declare that we have mastered the scriptures and have been testifying about the physical fulfillment of God’s prophecies. You can only truly understand what it is we have if you come and verify for yourself whether our claims are true. Regardless of whether people believe in our testimony, we will still proclaim God’s will, God’s word, and the physical fulfillment of his word (Ez 3:11). We earnestly pray that you will understand and believe in our testimony so that you will attain heaven and eternal life.
