The Purpose of the Cross.


What a great time to reflect on the purpose of the cross. Why is it that Jesus had to bear the cross? Why did God allow the blood of His son to be shed? What is expected of us today?

2000 years ago Jesus shed his blood to atone for man’s sin (Heb 10:10-14). Through the sacrifice of one man the sins of many were taken away. This took place at the time of the first coming, but what does the rest of Hebrews 9:28 say concerning Jesus’ return?
“Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many;
and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”
When does salvation come? When can we truly claim to ‘be saved’?

2000 years ago Jesus shed his blood to atone for our sins so that today we can be made into the perfect and holy kingdom and priests of God, those who have been purchased by Jesus’ blood and sealed with the seal of the living God (Rv 5:9-10; Rv 7:2-4).

The 144,000 who have been sealed and born of God’s seed, the word of truth (Rv 7:4; James 1:18), are those who can sing the new song (Rv 14:3).

If you don’t know what the ‘new song’ is, can you sing it?

Those who are singing the new song, the 144,000,  are gathered at Mount Zion, together with God and Jesus (Rv 14:1).

Today is the time when we can learn the new song!
Today we must be those who are harvested and sealed according to the prophecies in the New Testament (Mt 13: 24-30; Rv 14:14-16; Rv 7:2-4).

What was God’s hope and desire as He allowed the blood of His son to be shed?

God desires to create His eternal kingdom here on earth, as it is in heaven, His holy nation and treasured possession, His kingdom of priests (Ex 19:5-6), those who have been purchased with the blood of  Jesus.

Today is the time when Jesus’ blood comes into full effect. Today is the time we can truly receive salvation.

Have you been purchased? Have you been harvested and sealed? Can you sing the new song?
Now is the time! Let us not be like those living at the time of Noah, who lost the opportunity of salvation by not getting on the Ark because they did not recognize or understand the time they were living in.

Let us be those who fulfill God’s hope!

The Words to be testified throughout the history of God’s Work and Their fulfilled Realities

 

 

 
The Words to be testified
throughout the history of God’s Work
and Their fulfilled Realities
 
 
 
1. Testimony of Noah's world
After Adam, what did the chosen people of Noah's generation testify? Those who came out of the ark testified and passed down the testimony of how they had been saved in the ark, when the world of Adam which died of their sin and Adam's world was destroyed by the great flood (Gn 6-8).
 
2. Testimony of Moses’ world
The world of Moses, which God promised to Abraham (Gn 15) later and fulfilled, that is, Israel, would testify how they had exited Egypt (Ex 12) and conquered Noah's world Canaan. Theirs would be the testimony of the Law which God gave them (Ex 33 ~ 34; Jn 1:17).
 
3. Testimony of the spiritual Israel
What God had prophesized to the prophets of the Old Testament was fulfilled by God coming to Jesus (Lk 24:44; Jn 19:30). What the spiritual Israel that is Jesus' family (disciples) testified was a fulfilled reality of the Old Testament. Right now all the pastors and saints of the global village testify about what Jesus fulfilled from the Old Testament. However they can not testify what Jesus promised in the New Testament. The reason is because he prophesized in parables (Mt 13:34-35). Prophesizing in parables is hiding from the enemy of God's secrets which are to be fulfilled (Mt 13:10-15; Mk 4:10-12).

4. Testimony of Spiritual New Israel
The prophecies of the New Testament are fulfilled by Jesus who promised them. The prophecy to be fulfilled is the book of Revelation. The one who comes in the name of Jesus is the advocate, the teacher, the holy spirit (Mt 23:39; Jn 14:26, 15:26, 16:13). This Counselor, the holy spirit becomes one with the one who overcomes and fulfills Revelation (Rv 19:10, Rv 10). When the promises in the New Testament are fulfilled, the fulfilled realities become the eternal gospel (Rv 10:7, 14:6). What has been fulfilled in the New Testament is God's kingdom and priests which are the 12 tribes (Rv 1:5-6, 5:9-10, Rv 7, 14:1-5). Just as spiritual Israel testified about the work of Noah, Moses and Jesus' fulfillment of the Old Testament, the New Testament’s promised nation – the nation of heaven’s people, the 12 tribes which is New Spiritual Israel - will testify to the establishment of God's kingdom. This is he testimony regarding the fulfillment of the New Testament. testimony. Other than the people of the 12 tribes, there will not be any pastor that testifies about the new nation, being fulfilled in the New Testament.
 
5. Shinchonji Church of Jesus that testifies what is witnessed as reality
Fulfilling the New Testament's promises and prophecies, Shinchonji church of Jesus (Shinchonji) does not deny what was fulfilled in the time of Noah, Moses, and Jesus’ first coming. However, Jesus too said in his first coming that when the Old Testament is fulfilled the prophets, laws, and prophecies will come to an end (Mt 11:13; Lk 16:16). Likewise, when the New Testament is fulfilled, the churches, pastors, and the prophecies of the New Testament come to an end as well (refer to Mt 24:29; Rv 6). We, Shinchonji the 12 tribes, testify what the pastors of this era have not seen, which are the prophecies in the New Testament and the realities of the fulfillment as promised.
 
In order to obtain salvation, the believers who live in time of the fulfillment of the New Testament need to have faith in what is fulfilled in the New Testament and not just what was fulfilled in Jesus' first coming. Having faith and testifying the fulfillment of the Old Testament is needed until the fulfillment of the New Testament arrives.
 
We - as Shinchonji - see and testify the meaning of figurative prophecies in the New Testament and also the fulfillment of these prophecies.

[Shincheonji] Appointed Task and Purpose

Appointed Task and Purpose
 
 
 
 
Main reference: Rv 21:6 (Jn19:30)
 
What is the appointed task and purpose of God and Satan? What are the grounds of duty and purpose for the pastors of God verses the pastors of Satan?
God’s mission is to fulfill his promise. The purpose is to establish God’s holy kingdom and nation and dwell there forever. However, Satan’s duty and purpose is to deceive, trick, and steal the world in an attempt to keep humankind as his own.
The appointed task given to God’s pastor on this earth is to keep God’s promise and to fulfill God’s will on this earth as it is in heaven. The purpose God desires is for the saints and believers to enter and live together in the eternal kingdom (God’s) of heaven. For this reason, he (God’s pastor) must contemplate on the promise words of God and endeavor to abide in them. On the other hand, the duty and purpose of Satan’s pastors are to hinder God’s pastor from accomplishing his appointed task. Satan attempts to protect and keep the world from being taken away from him.
Religion is not an education or knowledge of the world; rather, religion is teachings from heaven. (Jn 6:45). Since heaven is higher than the earth, the knowledge of heaven is higher than the knowledge of the earth.
Jesus said “it is written in the prophets: They will all be taught by God. Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me” (Jn 6:45). This is religion. On behalf of God, Paul relays “God did this so they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being ……. Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill” (Acts17:27-31).
 Religious people believe God, because their there is a hopeful goal and purpose in their faith. If such is the case for believers of God, I would like to question them on how much they know about God and his scriptures.
Did they master the Bible? Did they see, hear, and learn from God? And are they offspring of God? Are they judging the Bible with their personal feelings and thoughts by saying “this is this” or “that is that”? God is the only one who truly knows if people are pretentious and wandering in darkness by not knowing the truth.
People must know the creator, God’s perspective and narrative. And they must understand the significance of the state of punishment the people undergo and of Satan’s authority and tyranny. If people don’t know the basics of God’s motif, then these people are not qualified to comment about God and religion. God created the heaven and earth and all creation. He made man and entrusted him over all things created. However, Satan tempted man, and, as a result, men became a part of Satan’s group. God lost all his creation and could no longer dwell with the human world. He worked for thousands of years to recover His world. However His work due to the sinful nature of people and their disbelief of the creator God’s word. The evidence of God’s work is the Bible, and the content of the bible is God’s means and promise.
 
What are the evidences in believing the true, divine, creator God and his words? There are a handful of records to this day starting from the origin of the progenitor of mankind (Adam: man). And within each generation, God fulfilled his promises, which is ample evidence. On this earth (especially in Asia), there are Confucianism, Buddhism, and Christianity. These three religions each have their own books (“classics”). However, all these religions share the same Creator. The religious leaders may be different, but God, who is one, is the same. Yet, do these religious leaders comprehend their own “classics” and believe it? No. They do not even know it themselves. Their belief of “Buddha, God” is based on their teachers’ beliefs. However, due to their lack of understanding amongst their own god and “classics” (books), they are incapable of going the straight path to a religious faith.
 
500 years ago before Jesus came, Buddha prophesied about the coming of Jesus and his marvelous words. Even Moses testified to Jesus arrival. Jesus testified about the advocate, the Holy Spirit, who would come in his name. (Jn 14:26) And with the Spirit of Truth, the advocate would come to guide and teach the word of truth (Jn 16:13). This is the prophecy about God’s angel, a promised pastor for each generation. Whoever does not follow the promise, they are using religion for one’s own business (Lk 20:9-15).
Do you think Buddha and his disciples went to the world of heaven? No. Whoever says ‘yes’ does not know about the book (“classics”) and speaks carelessly. Do you think past believers went to heaven? No. God worked to recover the original world (paradise) by saving sinful men through his pastors given at each generation for thousands of years, but the world has not been recovered.
Bulls and goats could not atone for sin (Heb 10:4). This means offerings according to the law does not lead to salvation (Heb 9:9-10). God prophesied through the prophets in the Old Testament and approximately 2,000 years ago, God fulfilled his promise through Jesus. The atonement for sin occurred when Jesus, the righteous one, shed his blood in place (of sinners). (Heb10: 1-14). The creation of a new generation and the new heavenly people were promised through Jesus when he sowed the seed of the gospel of heaven promised at the time of the harvest (Mt 13:24-30). Today, 2,000 years after sowing of the seed has passed, God and Jesus return to the field where the seeds were sown (Jesus’ church, the Christian world) to harvest the wheat-like saints born from the seed of God into heaven. There He establishes them (wheat-like saints) as His heavenly nation (people) (Rev14: 14-16). This is the testimony of the fulfillment of the New Covenant’s promise.
Before Jesus came on this earth, only the descendants of Abraham were considered people of God. These descendants who were born of the physical seed from the line of sinners(Adam).
However after Jesus, whoever was born (1Pe1:23) from the seed of God (word, Lk 8:11) was the children of God and had the privilege to enter into heaven (Jn 1:12-13). Just because one says “I am a Buddhist, I am a Christian, I am a good-believer, I know well” does not permit them into paradise or heaven. Only people born through the seed of God can enter into heaven. Just because one says “I was loyal, I believed in Jesus, I did good and righteous acts, I attended church without any absences, I gave a lot of offerings”, does not give them rights as an offspring of God (Acts17:29). Just as the seed of a man with a surname of “Kim” or “Park” gives birth to another “Kim” or “Park”, there is an offspring of God and an offspring of the flesh.    
If the offspring of the flesh are not reborn from seed of God, then they cannot be God’s offspring. Only the one born again from God’s seed can be a part of God’s family and enter into heaven to live with God forever.
People insist on their own religion. This is truly like (watching) a comedy. Even though they claim (their religion is) truth, their faith is only based on scriptures of the physical (world) which is not of (true) religion. If they are not born from the seed of God, then there is no benefit.
God’s enemy is Satan. Satan impedes the work of God. He has acted in this manner for 6,000 years. Today, people who are of Satan are trying to rid God’s pastor by making false accusations and personal insults. They form “internet cafes” (blogs) in hopes to curse and persecute God’s pastor. This is an act of Satan.
 
Our Shinchonji, Church of Jesus, Temple of Tabernacle of the Testimony (“Shinchonji”) promised pastor has seen and heard the fulfillment of Revelation which God and Jesus promised. He has received the book of Revelation from heaven, and the people of Shinchonji have mastered the Bible. The promised pastor has testified to them all.
 
Shinchonji suggested a debate on the rights and wrongs about the explanation of Bible for many years, but no one has responded. Also, in an open (word) seminar, I explained, “I am not here to judge, but to receive judgment” and for them to point out the flaws. However, there has been no response of “No, you are wrong”. The reason they persecute behind (my back) is only to avoid damages to their own churches, which is now a business due to the development of their own denomination. This proves they are believers.
 
Today, if people do not receive the testimony of Shinchonji (word of Revelation), then they will not know Bible. They will not believe in accordance with God’s will. They will not be born again and, needless to say, will not be able to enter heaven. The churches of the world have turned into a business. In order to be reborn and to enter into heaven, they must be the certified temple of truth, world of justice and righteousness in Shinchonji’s principles. Shinchonji opens its door and accepts anyone who is seeking the (true) religious path to allow them to be reborn.  
 
So, without any doubt, one should both listen and confirm‍ the scriptures. Whoever is born with the seed of the Devil (the spirit of the Devil) is scared (of the truth); therefore, they dislike going near (to the truth). If one listens to Shinchonji’s word of truth, then their scarlet-like sins will be washed away. And the evil seed will be uprooted, and the house of the evil one will be destroyed. Then, the seed of God will be re-planted, and the house (temple) of God will be built where God can dwell. For this purpose, the Advocate of Shinchonji has appeared for this purpose.
 
A person who comes, listens, and realizes (the truth) is one who is blessed, and he or she will obtain the eternal life of heaven.
Amen!

Two Seed and the Harvest.

Two Seed and the Harvest
 

 
   The spiritual seed divided two seeds, God’s seed and Satan’s seed. Each seed represents the word of Spirit. Then, where is the place that each seed sows? And when is the time that these seeds sowed? And who is the one that sowed these seeds? What is the result after these seeds sowed?
 
- Jer 31:27 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will plant the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and of animals.
 
  God prophesied that there will be two seeds sowed (Jer 31:27). In this verse, the offspring of men means seed of God, and the offspring of animal means the seed of Satan. The place that these seeds planted is the house of Israel and Judah, the world of God’s chosen people. These promises fulfilled at the time of the First Coming. Jesus came to the world, and he sowed the word of God to the Israelites. Then, Jesus is the one who sowed the word of God, God’s seed, to the world. However, something happens after Jesus sowed the God’s seed.
 
  Let us check out the parables of heaven that Jesus told more detail.
 
- Mt 13:24-30 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed food seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.”
  “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’”
“ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
“‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.
 
   Jesus sowed the seed to his field, the world of Christianity. After Son of Man sowed the GOOD SEED, the enemy sowed the weeds. Then, who is the enemy? Satan is the enemy. Satan sowed Satan’s seed, his own laws and doctrines to Jesus’ field. Therefore, the prophecy that God told to us was fulfilled at the First Coming.

- Mt 13:37-43 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
“As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the age. The Son of Man will send out his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
 
In the parable, the owner’s servants noticed that the weeds sowed in their owner’s field. They asked to the owners to pull the weeds up. However, the owner just let the weeds leave in the field until the time of harvest. Then, when is the time of the harvest? The time of the harvest is the end of age. It does not mean the end of the world. What is the world to Jesus? It is the world of Jesus, therefore; the harvest starts at the end time of Jesus’ world.
 
What is the result after these two seeds sowed? Good Seed became the wheat, and the weeds are the sons of evil one. The wheat will be brought into the owner’s barn, Jesus’ barn. However; the weed will be thrown into the fiery furnace. It just merely small difference of seed, but the result is so tremendous. Therefore, bearing with God’s seed is so important to the believers. Because not all believers can go to the heaven, those who are born with the God’s seed only can enter the kingdom of heaven.
 
  Jer 31:27 (Prophecy)
Seed of men
Seed of animals
Mt 13:24-25(fulfilled)
Good Seed
Weeds
Mt 13:37-39
God’s word(truth)
Satan’s word(lies)
 
Sons of kngdom of heaven
Sons of evil one
1Jn3:9-10
Children of God
Children of devil(Jn8:44)
Secret of kingdom of heaven = SEED
 
Believers who want to enter the kingdom of heaven should be born with the God’s seed and be brought into the barn. Then, where is the barn that we should go at the time of the harvest. We can check it more specifically at the book of the Revelation written about the time of the end and the prophecies in the New Testament. At the Chapter 14 in the Revelation, there is a Mount Zion that those who offered as firstfruits of God and the lamb gathered. Also, this firstfuits are born with the word of truth, God’s seed (Jas 1:18). Therefore, people who gathered in Mount Zion are born with the God’s seed, the word of truth, and Mount Zion is the right place that God, Jesus and the spiritual thorn in the heaven are dwell in.
 
Believers who follow the word of Jesus and wish to go to the kingdom of heaven should understand the realities of these two seeds and should be the children of God that are born with the God’s seed so that they can be harvested to the barn at the time of the harvest, the end of the era.
