Summary of the New Testament Prophecies and Their Physical Fulfillment

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. 

 

SHINCHEONJI: Healing All Nations

Fulfillment of Prophecies and Faith

Fulfillment of Prophecies and Faith

Main reference: Jn 14:29 (Jn 19:30; Rv 21:6)

Within God’s 6000 years of work there were prophecies and fulfillment. Prophecy was given so that when it fulfills one can see and believe (Jn 14:29). Also, one must first know the prophecies in order to see and believe when it fulfills.

Therefore, one must first write the prophecies that God promised in one’s heart to see and believe at the time of fulfillment. That is why if one does not know the promised prophecies, one will not know and believe when God fulfills the prophecies He promised.

The Old Testament prophets recorded future events that they saw and heard from God. The future events that the Old Testament prophets saw and heard were a whole vision given by God from heaven. Before the whole vision is fulfilled, no one is able to neither see nor touch the reality. It is like the sealed book. The prophet Habakkuk said in chapter 2 (NKJV), “write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it.” If one does not write the vision of prophecies in one’s heart, how will he know the reality when the vision fulfills?

Jesus proclaimed the revelation of the Old Testament vision that was opened (fulfilled). But because the Israelites did not write God’s word of the covenant (vision) in their hearts, they did not believe the revelation of the fulfillment proclaimed by Jesus. After Jesus ascended into heaven, he gave John the vision of the New Testament (Revelation). Since the appointed time of fulfillment will come again, one must write it in his heart and be someone who waits for this era. But there is not even one person among the pastors of the worldly churches or any church members who has recorded these words in their hearts. Then how can anyone possibly believe and be obedient? That is why Jesus said when he returns will he find faith on the earth (Lk 18:8). Today, those who did not write the vision of the New Testament (prophecy) in their hearts claim they are orthodox and call those who don’t belong to them a cult. Can people like this receive salvation?

Jesus said in Jn 12:48, “that very word which I spoke will condemn him (the one who forsakes and does not accept the Word) at the last day.” This is referring to the sin of leaving the Word of promise.

Just like it is written, since Revelation will fulfill (Rv 21:6) one must write it in his heart. If one adds and subtracts then he will not be able to enter into heaven and will also receive curses (Rv 22:18-19). The one who adds and subtracts is one who will receive curses. Just because the one who is not able to enter into heaven, the one who receives curses, calls the one who does not add or subtract from Revelation (the one who has mastered) a cult, does that make him a cult? That person himself is the cult. This is just like the 1st coming when the pastors called Jesus a cult. The Korean proverb explains this situation: one who did wrong will be the one to blame the other who has not done wrong.

Today, the pastors of the CCK, who love money and authority, again call Shincheonji a cult. Shincheonji does not add to or subtract from Revelation but are those who mastered the Bible. The pastors of CCK add and subtract from Revelation. Who is truly the real cult?

Shincheonji is called a cult for freely operating Bible mission centers. In the Bible it says to freely give for you have freely received the free gift of the water of life (refer to Mt 10:8, Rv 22:17)

The CCK is not able to teach the Word at seminary schools because they do not know. However, they still receive money. Because congregation members do not have money, they are unable to attend and also graduate from seminary schools. Why is it that they don't have the Word? It is because the holy spirit is not at the seminary schools. Why is it that the holy spirit is not there? It is because they love money, power, being honored and worshiped, and lies, that the holy spirit cannot be together with them. That is why they have become the worldly seminary schools that do not have the Word. According to God's Word, they are the false seminary schools. They are not acting according to God's will but are operating these seminary schools according to their own. To confirm‍ the reality of this, if a Bible exam is given to a student who attends the free Bible mission centers and also to a CCK seminary student, one will know. The difference will be like heaven and earth. Therefore, the "study of revelation" from heaven and the "study of the earth" from the world is different (refer to Jn 3:31-34)

Regardless of who it is, everyone was born with sin and the original sin of Adam having good and evil. Adam's descendants were people of Adam's original sin of good and evil. In other words, it means to be born with the ideologies of good and evil. The reason why Jesus said to be born again is because people are formless and empty (refer to Jn 3:3-7). It is because good and evil were mixed together that people have to be born again. But with what must one be reborn with? It is neither through heredity nor physical lineage (Jn 1:13) but one must be reborn through God's seed and spirit. Jesus and the disciples, who were born through God's seed, did not betray, but went on the road of martyrdom dutifully. Those who were born with Adam's original sin betrayed just like Adam but the martyrs born with God's seed never betrayed.

By being reborn with God's seed, one becomes God's family and receives salvation just like at the time of Noah. Is the person born with God's seed and the person born with Adam's original sin the same? The reason why one does not obey God nor act according to God's will is because he is born with Adam's original sin. Who will the one born with God's seed and the one born Adam's original sin be one with, respectively? The one who receives the evil spirit will have evil actions, and the one who receives the good spirit will have good actions. There are those who believe God's word of promise and act according to that purpose, but there are also those who do not act according to God's word and purpose. This is how one is able to know who they belong to.

We at Shincheonji do not add to or subtract from God's Word but act according to God's purpose. The name and creation of our temple and even our actions are according to God's purpose. Because this is the location where Jesus is one with, it is a place that Satan's pastors hates. Just like Jesus, we are those helping the world receive salvation through the Word (refer to Rv 22:1-2).

The New Heaven and New Earth, and the First Heaven and First Earth that Passed Away

The New Heaven and New Earth, &

the First Heaven and First Earth

that Passed Away

Main references: Rv 21 (Rv 6, Rv 7)

 

What are the new heaven and new earth in the main chapter? What are the first heaven and first earth that ceased to exist?  

 

The first heaven and earth that passed away was the tabernacle of the Spiritual Israelites and their congregation members. The new heaven and new earth is the tabernacle that is re-created and its congregation members.

 

The tabernacle (the dwelling place of the saints) is referred to as heaven because God’s chosen people are symbolized by the sun, moon, and stars (refer to Gn 37:9-11), and thus, the place (the tabernacle) where the sun, moon, and stars are, becomes heaven. Moses saw what was in heaven and built the tabernacle on earth accordingly (Ex 25). Therefore, the tabernacle of Moses was heaven on earth. Jesus proclaimed, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!” (Mt 4:17). He also said, “Your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven” (Mt 6:10). According to these words, the kingdom of God that Jesus established with his disciples here on earth (refer to Jn 5:19-20) was heaven, that is, the tabernacle, Spiritual Israel.

 

Since man was formed from dust (Gn 2), dust or earth figuratively refers to flesh. The heaven and earth that passed away was the first heaven that Jesus started, and that has lasted for the past 2,000 years. The new heaven and new earth is the second heaven that is created today at the second coming. The short term for the new heaven and new earth in Chinese is Shincheonji.

 

The main reference, Revelation 21:1, shows the old and the new things. These old and new things are equated to the worlds of Adam and Noah, the worlds of Noah and the Physical Israelites, and the worlds of the physical Israelites and the spiritual Israelites. The new thing is created again after the previous thing becomes corrupt, aging, and obselete.

 

The Old Testament was fulfilled at Jesus’ first coming, and the New Testament is fulfilled at Jesus’ second coming.

 

Why does the main reference say that the first heaven and first earth passed away? The reason why Jesus proclaimed, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!” at the first coming was because the Physical Israelites, Jerusalem, at that time committed sins. That is why Jesus asked for repentance. Today, too, at the time of the second coming, if you look at the tabernacle in Revelation 13, the group of the dragon, the destroyers (the beast with seven heads and ten horns) came into the tabernacle of heaven, and they marked the foreheads and the hands of the saints of the tabernacle with the mark of the beast. The saints received that mark and worshiped the beast, the dragon. As a result, the chosen people of the tabernacle were destroyed. This is why the first heaven and first earth passed away. This event was betrayal and destructioin. There were people who marked others, and there were people who received the mark. Furthermore, there were people who worshiped, and there were people who were worshiped by others. Just like at the first coming (Mt 23), the destroyers stood in the tabernacle of the chosen people at the second coming. This is why the one who has witnessed that event asked for repentance.

 

The first heaven and first earth that was destroyed and passed away were the Spriritual Israelites that Jesus created with his disciples 2,000 years ago when he came to the land of Judah. It was the end of Spiritual Israel. They passed away due to their betrayal. Revelation 6:12-17 and Matthew 24:29 figuratively use the sun, moon, and stars of the sky (Gn 37:9-11) to explain their end. They fall from heaven to the earth. They begin with the holy spirit, and yet they return to mere flesh. They are part of heaven, but later they become part of the earth. In other words, they belong to God, but then they come to belong to Satan.  

 

God prophesied the events of Jesus’ first coming through the Old Testament prophets. The prophecies were regarding how Jerusalem would be destroyed and captured by gentiles. Likewise, Jesus and his disciples prophesied in the New Testament that the saints of God’s tabernacle would be destroyed and held captive by the pastors of the devil, and that all nations would fall down by taking the fruit of good and evil, the wine of adulteries—the venom of serpents, the devil, and the poison of cobras, and that they would also marry the spirit of the devil (Rv 17 ~ Rv 18). If these prophecies and the fulfilled realities are not true, then God, Jesus, and his disciples would have lied. However, the prophecies have been fulfilled just as they were recorded. Who can deny this? This is the end of Spiritual Israel that was established 2,000 years ago.

 

The Physical Israelites in the Old Testament came to an end at Jesus’ first coming, and the Spiritual Israelites were created through Jesus. In the same manner, Jesus, who has returned today according to the New Testament, has brought an end to the corrupt Spiritual Israel, just as we have examined above. He has created the New Spiritual Israel by harvesting and sealing people. This newly created New Spiritual Israel is new heaven and new earth. It is to this placet that God, heaven, and Jesus come according to the promises (Rv 3:12), and that the spirits of the dead also come (1 Thes 4:14). The blessings promised in Revelation 2 and 3 will also be in that place.

 

When are the new heaven and new earth created after the first heaven and first earth disappear? Where are they created? And who are they? What kind of kingdom are they?

 

The time when they are created is the Lord’s second coming when Revelation in the New Testament is fulfilled, just as examined earlier. At that time, Spiritual Israel (churches of Jesus) is destroyed and comes to an end. The Lord returns to harvest and seal people, and he creates God’s new kingdom (new heaven and new earth) here on earth. The new kingdom Jesus creates is the twelve tribes of Shincheonji Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (the 144,000 priests and the people of the great multitude). This is the kingdom promised in the New Testament. It is heaven, and its people are the people of heaven. This is truly the kingdom, which is the fulfillment of the New Testament of the prophecy that Jesus gave so that we would believe when it happens.

 

The pastors of the devil will hinder and insult this place, but God even prophesied to fulfill this kingdom from the Old Testament (Jer 31). According to that prophecy, Jesus came and sowed seed. Today grains are harvested and sealed, and the twelve tribes are created in accordance with the promises. God had Satan appear in order to create this promised kingdom, and Revelation 13 describes the events of the appearance of Satan. Satan appeared according to the prophecies, and as a matter of fact, a trap was set up to capture Satan (refer to Jer 50:24). These are the events of Revelation 13 and 12. As the promised pastor fought against the dragon and overcame it, he has become Israel (New Spiritual Israel) and has created the twelve tribes. It is from this time on that the kingdom of God and salvation can come (Rv 12:10-11). Do you believe in this prophecy and its fulfillment? 

 

The prophecies and the pastors of the New Testament exist until the messengers of the seven lampstands who prepare the way in Revelation 2-3 and 13. Since that time, people have been hearing the gospel of the revelation, the fulfillment of the book of Revelation, and they have been coming and gathering to the new heaven where they can attain salvation. Therefore, the events of Revelation in the New Testament encompass the end of the Spiritual Israelites  due to their betrayal and destruction, and the judgment of Satan, the group of the destroyers, in Revelation 12 and 18, and the New Spiritual Israelites. As Spiritual Israel and the destroyers are judged and come to an end, only the re-created New Spiritual Israelites can exist at the end. These are the events of destruction and salvation similar to the days of Noah and Lot (refer to Mt 24:37-41; Lk 17:26-30). The work of salvation has nothing to do with those who do not know and believe in the New Testament prophecies and their physical fulfillment. But to those who believe in God and his promises, this work of Salvation is the greatest blessing because it is the fulfillment of their will and hope.

 

It says in Revelation 21, “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and first earth had passed away.” It means that when the new heaven and new earth is created, the first heaven and first earth has already ceased to exist. The Physical Israelites were already brought to an end at Jesus’ first coming, and yet they still do exist. In fact, they were put to an end as God’s chosen people and became gentiles 2,000 years ago. Likewise, even if the new heaven and new earth has been created today, the Spiritual Israelites still exists. The reality, however, is that they were cut off from God and became gentiles. In other words, they returned to mere flesh and to the world. God is now with the New Spiritual Israelites who have been victorious.

 

The Republic of Korea where God, heaven, and the promised pastor, the one who overcomes are, will become the greatest and the most wonderful country. All nations will have to come to Shincheonji of the Republic of Korea to worship God (Rv 15:4).

 

Hallelujah Amen!

Elementary teachings and maturity

Elementary teachings and maturity

 

 

  

Main references: Heb 6 and 1 Cor 13

 

What (where) are the elementary teachings? What (where) is maturity?
Teachings refer to God’s word. The elementary teachings refer to the Mosaic Law, the fulfillment of the Old Testament during Jesus’ first coming, and the figurative prophecies.
 
The scripture records, “Let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment” (Heb 6:1-2). The scripture also says, “For we know in part and we prophecy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known” (1 Cor 13:9-12).
 
Our hope as believers is to go to heaven and God. The only path to go to heaven and God is to go through Jesus, who is way, truth, and life (Jn 14:6). Hosea records that God desires acknowledgment of God rather than sacrifice or burnt offerings (Hos 6:6). Jesus also said, no one knows the father except those who receive the revelation (Mt 11:27). Furthermore, God spoke about how His people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge (Hos 4:6).
 
What we must believe in is the New Testament, more than the Old Testament. The Old Testament already passed away, but the New Testament is coming, and as a matter of fact, it is being fulfilled today. One of the reasons why the Physical Israelites did not believe, even though the Old Testament was fulfilled, was because they only knew and kept the Mosaic Law. They believed the law but they rejected the faith that should be revealed. The law, however, was a tutor which was put in charge to lead saints to Christ.
 
What we must believe is the prophecy and its fulfillment at the time of the fulfillment. Even if someone believes in the New Testament prophecy without believing in its fulfillment, their faith is futile. At the first coming, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament (Jn 19:30), but the Physical Israelites did not believe. The Israelites believed in and put the words of their own pastors above the promises of God. How can they be acknowledged as true believers?
 
We (Christians) all believe in Jesus. The words Jesus spoke are the promises (new covenant) he asked us to believe. The physical embodiment of the words of the Old Testament appeared in flesh at the first coming. Likewise, the physical embodiment of the prophecy in the New Testament will also appear at the second coming. The betrayers, destroyers, and the savior recorded in the New Testament will all appear.
 
When the scripture says we need to leave the elementary teachings and go on to maturity, “the maturity” refers to the place which has the physical realities of the fulfillment of the prophecy. Prophecy was given to us so that when it happens, we will believe (Jn 14:29). When the events take place, their physical realities appear. If the prophecy is compared to a dream, then its physical fulfillment is compared to a reality.
 
One does not attain salvation just by superficially saying, “I believe.” The one who truly believes is someone who believes in the word which asks us to flee to the mountains when seeing the destroyer standing in the holy place, and actually flees according to that very word. Furthermore, a person who does this is the one who leaves the elementary teachings. As the prophecy is fulfilled, one can see the betrayers, destroyers, and the savior at the place of maturity, the location where people can see face to face.
 
What Jesus and Apostle Paul talked about in the New Testament is to leave the elementary teachings. Heaven, the sealed twelve tribes, is found in the place of maturity. Just as Paul mentioned, current believers in this world are dwelling in the elementary teachings, and they do not have the faith that should be revealed (refer to Rv 5:1-3). There is no one who can attain salvation with their current life of faith (refer to Rv 22:18-19).
Among the words Jesus spoke to the crowds, Jesus only explained the meanings of the parables to those who belonged to God. Jesus, however, only spoke in parables to outsiders who were not permitted to understand them. Jesus said, if one does not know the parables, they are an outsider, and they are unable to receive forgiveness of their sins (Mk 4:10-13).
 
He also stated that if one adds to and/or subtracts from Revelation, which is the promise written in parables, they will not attain salvation (Rv 22:18-19). All the pastors on earth have added to and/or subtracted from the prophecy. (Ask yourself) In a situation like this, who really has a right to call someone a heretic?
 
It is only one person (Jesus) who opens Revelation and fulfills it (Rv 6). It is also only given to one person (the New John) to testify (Rv 10). This New John is the promised pastor who has seen the physical fulfillment of the entire book of Revelation. Arrogant people have received authority and degrees of doctorates of divinity from men, and they testify about Revelation according to their own thoughts. They are nothing but the ones who are conducting lawlessness. They are unable to testify about the physical fulfillment of Revelation. They are the pastors of the devil who give the false wine, the wine of adulteries.
 
All believers must leave the elementary teachings. Without adding or subtracting from Revelation, everyone must come to the place where it is being fulfilled. They must see and believe in the maturity, and become the born again chosen people. Shincheonji’s twelve tribes are God’s promised kingdom. It is the place where God dwells. It is a place never before created, where one can find the testimony of the fulfillment of the book of Revelation and receive the revelation, which is the eternal gospel. It is the promised new heaven and new earth, Shincheonji. It is also the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, the city of the highest truth in the 6,000 years of biblical history of mankind.
 
Whoever wishes let them come and drink the water of life, just as it says in Revelation 22:17 and they will attain eternal life.
 
Amen!

Vision and Purpose of Shinchonji Church of Jesus

Vision and Purpose of

Shinchonji Church of Jesus

 

 

 

The vision and purpose of Shinchonji are the following: heaven and eternal life; to become God’s kingdom and priests; to be the City of Truth and the kingdom of righteousness and justice; to master the Bible; to become the citizens of heaven who love, forgive and bless; and finally, to renew the world.

 

This is God’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven. The spiritual world of heaven will come down on Shinchonji, and this unity of the flesh and spirit will establish heaven on earth.

 

Can we say that in the world today, the believers are better than nonbelievers?  And that the Christian are better than people of other religions? Are not the Korean Christians more evil than the Christians of the world? If so, why? As prophesied, God, Jesus, and heaven have come down (refer to Rv 3:12); they, however, came amongst the Christianity of Korea. Therefore, the demons all over the world have gathered to the Christians of Korea (refer to Rv 16:13-16) to interrupt with God’s work.

 

The devil enters into someone he needs, and works to curse, persecute, murder and fabricate lies about the person doing God’s work. In every era, those who the spirit of Satan used had the same actions (refer to Mt 5:10-12, Acts 7:52).

 

Everyone who follows a religion must know their respective religion’s books. No religion in the world, however, understands the meaning of their books exactly. Thus, what is taught and learned in the world of religion are the teachings of men. The teachings of men are far from the will of God (refer to Is 29:9-13).

 

Everyone on earth has one common ancestor; we are of the same family. While all originated from one bloodline, we went on to be divided as we increased in number. This, however, is not the essence of religion. Religion is creating a divine people, not born of natural descent, but of the seed of God. Because the thoughts of man and God are different, disputes can arise, and communication is difficult. God the creator, however, is the giver of life, death, destruction and prosperity to all men (refer to Dt 30:15-20); and he put life and blessings in his word. For us to receive this blessing, we must be a new creation by being born again of his word – the seed of God, who is just (refer to Jn 3:5; 1 Pt 1:23). Those born again of God’s seed are created in God’s image and become his son. These become heirs that inherit from God, and rule the world (refer to 1 Cor 15:50, Gal 4:1-7, Rv 21:5-7).

 

God says in the Bible that he will end the things of the flesh and create gods with his spiritual seed (Acts 17:29). During the process of this creation, many obstacles must be overcome. These obstacles are Satan and his people’s work of sabotage. These obstructers call what is white black, and what is black white. They label orthodoxy as cult and cult as orthodoxy with the power of their ecclesiastical authority. Beasts do not know God and his word (refer to Prv 30:2-3).

 

Like beasts with no regard for God or the law of his word, these obstructers blaspheme God’s true way by ruling over their denomination with the ecclesiastical authority given them by men. Indeed, there are so many obstacles to overcome in passing through the narrow road. Why else would God have to go as far as wiping tears from our eyes when he comes (refer to Rv 21:2-4)?

 

Whether in the First or Second Coming, people are living their lives of faith according to their own will. This is the reason they do not understand the Scriptures or God (Mt 22:29). Christians today think that they are carrying out their life of faith well; they think of themselves to be orthodoxy, to have attained salvation. This is because they don’t know the prophecies in the Bible. If they understood the meaning of the New Testament, they would not be so careless as to say ‘We are saved, and we are orthodox.’ There are two types of ecclesiastical authority. One is given by man, and the other by God. In this world, however, the ecclesiastical authority given by man has suppressed that which was given by God, and still does now.

 

We, Shinchonji, are not saying that there is anything wrong with the pastors of the current churches testifying the fulfillment of the Old Testament and about Jesus. Until the appointed time, such actions are valid; we also had testified the same (regarding the Old Testament and Jesus). Today, however, is the Second Coming when the prophecies of Revelation are being fulfilled; what Shinchonji testifies is not the First Coming, which is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, but rather the fulfillment of the promises of the New Testament (Rv 10:1-11).

 

In other words, the content is different. Pastors of the current churches are testifying the First Coming, while the pastor of Shinchonji is testifying the Second Coming (refer to Rv 22:16). Among these two, what believers in the Second Coming must believe and keep is what is being fulfilled of the New Testament. During the Second Coming, however one may believe in Jesus and testify the fulfillment of the Old Testament, one cannot be saved by doing so. This is because Jesus said that the believers in the era of the New Testament can be saved only by believing the fulfillment of the New Testament and the word of revelation of the Second Coming (refer to Rv 22:18-19). Believers today must decide which is more important to believe in the time of the Second Coming.

 

Although the pastors today can be forgiven for persecuting the members of Shinchonji, they cannot be forgiven for choosing to not believe the word of testimony and thus persecuting. This is because it is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (refer to Mt 12:31-32).

The Word of Life

 

 

The Word of Life

 

 

Main reference: Jn 1:1-4

 

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God. Life is in this word. Heaven, earth, and all things were created through this word. If one keeps this word, they will live; but if they do not keep this word, they will die. Since we were created by the word, if anyone does not believe in the word or departs from the word, this lifeline will be disconnected from that person. This is because the word itself is life.

 

‘Man’ was created by the word, and they are protected by the word. Man’s life is in the word, and it is connected to the word. God, who was the word, left man due to their sin. As a consequence, the source of the word which brought life to man, was disconnected. Man was only able to continue to live on the life which was left, and ended up dying as a result; just as if the light of a lamp was snuffed out because the oil was no longer continuing to be refilled. The reason why the lifespan of mankind, the children of Adam, has decreased is because the lifeline, which played the role of the oil for people, was removed from them, and their sins piled up upon one another. Man’s life expectancy has gradually decreased since Adam’s time. People lived for almost 1,000 years at that time, but now people die even before they reach 100 years.

 

The God of the word of life, left man because of sin. Jesus came and bore the cross in order to resolve the problem of this sin. The cross he took up was necessary to reconnect the lifeline between God and mankind. This allows the God of life, who left us, to come back to us.

 

If one desires to receive forgiveness of his sin and to attain eternal life, he must believe in Jesus’ word and act according to its meaning. Since life and the power of creation are in the word, even the people in this world have a saying which says, “Mans’ life and his rich and honor belong to heaven.” Now we must enter into the word and become one family with God. In doing so, we will be able to live eternally with God, the origin of life. This will only be possible because of the grace of Jesus’ blood. 

 

God is the word in the beginning (Jn 1:1); Jesus, with whom God dwelled, is also the word in the beginning (1 Jn 1:1-2). In addition, Jesus also said he was the living bread which came from heaven, and that one would live eternally only by drinking his blood and eating his flesh (Jn 6).

 

Jesus was born from heaven, and he received the revealed scroll, the word of the revelation, just as it is portrayed in Ezekiel chapter 3. This word of the revelation was the living bread from heaven, which leads people to eternal life. Jesus, who received the revelation, stated that no one knows God except the ones who receive the revelation through Jesus (Mt 11:27).

 

Before this revelation comes, believers only teach and learn through teachings of man, just as Isaiah 29:9-14 explains. They come near to God with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him.

 

All people on earth today (believers) know the fulfillment of the Old Testament, but they do not know the New Testament, just as Revelation 5 explains. Since no one knows, not even one person, believers have only taught and learned the teachings of man. They come close to the Lord with their lips, but their hearts are far from the Lord.

 

What believers today must know is not the Old Testament, but the New Testament and its revelation. Believers have been under the fulfillment of the Old Testament until the faith of the New Testament, which should be revealed, comes. But when the faith of the revelation in the New Testament comes, they will no longer be under the supervision of the Old Testament fulfillment, but they will dwell in the faith of the revelation in the New Testament. One will complete his life of faith by believing in the revelation of the New Testament. This is why the scripture says if one adds to and/or subtracts from Revelation, he will be unable to go to heaven and will be cursed (Rv 22:18-19). Is this word a lie? Ask yourself. Ask yourself whether you have added or subtracted from revelation.

 

The promised pastor in Shincheonji has received the revelation of heaven according to Revelation 10. He is making known this revelation just as he was commanded to do. Whoever goes against this and does not like the promised revelation does so because the spirit of the devil is inside them. The reason why the spirit of the devil is inside is because they are born of the genes of the sinner and of the seed of the devil. Only when this type of person is born again of God’s seed, will God’s spirit, the holy spirit, be able to dwell with them.

 

The word in the beginning is God, and it is life. God’s seed of life is God’s word (Lk 8:11). Those who are born of God’s seed are God’s sons (children), and they are qualified to call God, Father. These people are not the old self, but they are the re-born new creations and the people of God’s kingdom (heaven). All saints must enter into the word of the revelation in the New Testament, and they must become God’s family, in order to be qualified to go to heaven. 

 

If anyone thinks they are carrying out a true life of faith, and they are qualified to go to heaven, they will be able to know whether their spirit is in darkness/night, or in light/day, by taking a test with the words of the revelation in the New Testament (1 Thes 5). Are you confident about this test?

 

The true promised pastor, who received the revelation—the living bread from heaven—prays for all people that they will receive the revelation, and will become the family of heaven by understanding and believing in the true will of heaven.
