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.

The God and the Pastors of Persecution and Curses


The God and the Pastors
of Persecution and Curses
 

 
Main reference: Acts 7:51-53
 
 
Who persecutes and curses? Who receive persecution and curses? Why do they persecute and curse others? Whoever persecutes and curses do such work as they receive the spirit of persecution, and as they are driven by the will of that spirit. They persecute and curse people who receive God’s holy spirit. Why do they do that? The evil spirit persecutes the holy spirit because the holy spirit reveals the identity of the evil spirit. In addition, the evil spirit curses the holy spirit and even labels it as an evil spirit in order to cover up their identity.
 
The scriptures record that there is one and only God, the creator, and there is also Satan, one of the archangels who betrayed God although he was a created being. The war between these two spirits is the history of the 6,000 years of the history of the Bible. These two spirits have been working through the people who belong to each of them. It first started with the event of deception between the serpent and Eve.
 
God chose prophets to speak his word in order to save this world, which has been deceived by Satan. The Bible is the book that records the word they received. God allowed us to know the work of God and the work of Satan by looking at the word of the Bible. For the last 6,000 years, people have been born of the genes of Adam and Eve, the genes of good and evil, because they were deceived by the serpent, Satan, and they ate the fruit of good and evil. For this reason, everyone has good and evil, and people are the children of good and evil.
God the creator has been working to remove evil from people who have good and evil. He sowed God’s seed so that people would be born again of it. People can be truly born again when they are born again of God’s seed.
 
Satan, on the other hand, has been plagiarizing God’s work, proclaiming himself to be God. Just like Jesus in the New Testament, Satan, too, started to sow his own seed (Mt 13:24-30). Just as God planted his seed through Jesus, Satan planted Satan’s seed through the Pharisees.  Satan proclaims himself to be God. He deceived people about his identity in such a way, and he planted his own seed to people and made them to be his own children. This is why John 17:3 uses the term, the only true God. In fact, the serpent himself was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and yet he masqueraded himself to be the tree of life that would not die. This was how the serpent deceived Eve. God’s true pastor, Jesus, referred to himself as the true vine.
 
God started his work with the true word, while Satan started with lies. As God and God’s pastors appear, Satan mobilizes his crowd and blindfolds people. They lie and persecute. Why do they conduct such actions? It is because their true identities will be revealed otherwise.
 
God’s commands in Matthew chapters 5 and 6 teach love and truth. Let us examine who the devil and his pastors are based on the scriptures below.
 
 [Acts 7:51-53]
You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy spirit! Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him—you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it.
 
This is the testimony of Stephen.
 
[Matthew 23:29-36]
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers! You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation.
 
This is the testimony of Jesus.
 
[Matthew 27:20-25]
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered. “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” All the people answered, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”
 
 This is the testimony of Matthew—what he saw and heard at that time.
 
 [John 15:18-21]
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
 
This is the word of Jesus. 
 
[John 16:1-4]
“All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
 
This is the word of Jesus.
 
[Matthew 5:10-12]
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and false say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
 
This is the word of Jesus.
 
[Luke 20:9-16]
He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out. “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.’ “But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. ‘This is the heir,’ they said. ‘Let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. “What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When the people heard this, they said, “May this never be!”
 
This is also the word of Jesus.
 
Through the Bible references listed above, we have seen the results of persecution and the persecutors. Is today’s situation not the same?
 
Before the world of Jesus, there were Confucius, Siddhartha, and many pastors from Moses’ time in this world. The priests and elders killed Jesus and his disciples, as well as the old prophets. It is not wrong to say that the devil, who opposed God, was inside the corrupt pastors, who claimed to believe in God, rather than in non-believers.
 
The scriptures show that many people (chosen people) die one-third at a time at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment (Rv 8). Who kill them? What type of people does the devil enter into and work? According to the Bible, it is neither non-believers nor people from other religions. It is the corrupt pastors from the previous generation. For this reason, God prophesied to bring the corrupt era to an end and to create a new era. At that time when the new era is created, God destroys the tenants of the vineyard, which represent the previous pastors, and rents the vineyard to other tenants, just as prophesied in Luke 20 (Mt 21:33-41). He also promised that the kingdom of heaven would be taken away from them, and that it would be given to a people who would produce its fruit (Mt 21:43).
 
 Revelation 21 records the era (world) that is passing away and the era (world) that is coming. Which era must we belong to in order to attain salvation? If one sees with eyes and hears with ears, and yet does not understand, can he receive salvation? 
 
The person that all the saints on earth must meet now is the one who receives the food of heaven, manna, the white stone to judge, the iron scepter to rule all nations, and the one who sits on Jesus’ throne—the pastor whom God, heaven, and Jesus have descended upon (Rv 3:12, 21)—according to Revelation 2 and 3. This is the pastor whom God has promised. At the end times of religion, if one follows his own pastor, he will not attain salvation. It is only when one believes and follows the promised pastor, that he will gain salvation and heaven. This promised pastor is the one who overcomes who testifies about the fulfillment of the New Testament. People think that they will attain salvation and go to heaven, just by believing in the words of their own pastors and following them. They think such a way because they do not know the Bible and the will of God (Refer to Mt 22:29). God and the Bible, however, speak differently.
 
Look at Jesus at the first coming. Whoever followed their own pastors became the ones who opposed God and Jesus, but even if someone was a tax collector, he attained salvation because he followed the promised pastor (Mt 10:2-3; Lk 5:27-28; Lk 18:10-14).
 
All must realize that only by following the promised pastor at the second coming, will there be salvation for people. It is because God, heaven, and the food of eternal life all come upon the promised pastor. Will there be salvation in a place where there is no God and no food of eternal life? How can one say he does not understand this?
 
The end of the age is the time when one generation passes away. It is the time when a new era is created through the new promised pastor. No one can come to the Lord except through the pastor promised in the New Testament. Please look at Revelation 3:12 and 3:21 and understand this.

The Reason and the Cause of Persecution

The Reason and the Cause of Persecution
  
Main reference: Acts 7:51-53, Mt 23:30-33
 

<Persecutor and those who are persecuted>
In the Bible, there is God and the Devil, and the pastors who belong to them. In the 6,000 years of God’s work, there are persecutors and those who are persecuted (refer to Mt 5:10-12). The persecutors belong to the Devil and those who are persecuted belong to God. God’s pastors loved, forgave and blessed while the Devil’s pastors persecuted, cursed, liked, and quarreled. Those who belong to God and those who belong to Satan are made known through this.

 
<The Reason for and Cause of Persecution>
As written in the Bible, the reason for and cause of persecution are to hide their own false testimonies (Jn 15:18-25, 16:1-30). But, these cannot be hidden and only add to their sins. While persecuting, putting people out of the synagogue and killing, they say that this is the example of serving God (Jn 16:2); in the same way, persecutors still argue that they are orthodox and accuse others of heresy. This is like judging others when they themselves did wrong; the heretics set themselves up as orthodoxy and make the true orthodox a cult. If one says that black is white, does the black become white? And if one says that white is black, does the white become black? (Is 5:20-23)
 
The old prophets whom God sent, Jesus whom God was one, and his disciples were called heretics by the Jews ((refer to Mt 26:65-73), Acts 24:5), but they were not real heretics. Rather those who called them heretics were the true heretics. Today, would people not call Shinchonji a cult? However, the twelve tribes of Shinchonji are the kingdom of God that was promised in the Bible and fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven (Rv 7, 14:1-5, 21:1-2). Therefore, Shinchonji is not heretical but “true-ical”—orthodox, and of all orthodoxy, the direct orthodoxy from Revelation.
 
At the time of Jesus’ First Coming, God and Jesus delivered the most wondrous (Is 29:14) Word of revelation (Mt 11:27); the disciples also delivered the revealed words of Jesus (Gal 1:11-12). As Jesus proclaimed the revealed word (Mt 11:27), he called the pastors of that time the blind from the passage in Isaiah 29:9-10, saying, “If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit” (Mt 15:14). He also said that the things they taught and learned were nothing but teachings of men, and they were close to the Lord with their lips, saying “Lord, Lord” but their hearts were far from God (Is 29:13, Mt 15:7-9). This means that the pastors of the time and their congregation were unable to receive salvation, and only those who received the revelation as Jesus’ will knew God and were saved.
 
This is the reason and cause that the Jewish pastors persecuted Jesus and his disciples. At the time, the pastors called Jesus a pestilent fellow, a heresy in order to keeping people from going onto Jesus and not hear the Words as described above (Mt 23:13). The reason why they used this method, was because they were afraid of their false testimony or lies surfacing and of them (power, status, honor and wealth) being destroyed. Had they repented and become lower and obeyed the Word, they could have been saved.
 

<The Reason for Persecuting Shinchonji, Church of Jesus, as a cult>
The reason for persecuting Shinchonji, Church of Jesus as a cult is same as that of the time of the Jesus’ First Coming. There is no truth anywhere and only the teachings of men, and to raise their prestige, fear that their false testimony of the sealed word and its reality would be revealed, they persecute Shinchonji by calling it a cult. Shinchonji is the only place in the whole world that received and is testifying to the revealed words of Revelation 10Upon the whole world, and the only place that mastered the Bible and testifies the revelation and its physical reality. 
 
Jesus took the sealed scroll that was in the right hand of God in Rev 5 and, after he removed all the seals, gave it to an angel in Rev 6, 8. The angel then gave it to the New John to eat in Rev 10 and commanded him to deliver the revealed word and what he saw, to many peoples, nations, languages and kings. Therefore, Jesus’ will is for the peoples, nations, languages and kings to receive the revelation from the New John; this is the will of Jesus and the New John. Those who do not obey this will do not believe in Jesus nor his Word. How can one gain salvation if he does not believe in the promise?
 
Through this explanation of the difference between the false testimony of the teachings of men and the revealed words of today’s New Testament, they should no longer lie. We Shinchonji testified to what no one could so no one can give excuses for their sin.
 

Those who want to receive true salvation must believe in the revelation of Jesus more so than the words of men, and must make biblical judgments. Revelation is the revelation of Jesus, and if anyone adds anything to them, or takes words away from the book, he can neither enter the heaven nor avoid disaster (Rev 22:18-19). Do pastors and believers truly believe in these words? Have they not added to took words away from Revelation? Everyone is to be judged according to what has been recorded in the Bible based on their deeds (Rev 20:12). Whoever believes in today’s promised Revelation and its reality will be saved.

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 Parables of the Secrets of Heaven

The Parables of the Secrets of Heaven
 
 

Main reference: Mt 13 (Ps 78:1-4, Mk 4:10-13, Jn 16:25)
 

 Among the old secrets, that is, the secrets of heaven hidden since the creation of the world, what are the parable of the two kinds of seeds and harvest?
 
God promised that he will speak things from of old with a parable to the next generation (Ps 78:2). After one thousand years, God came to Jesus, and he accomplished the things promised in Psalm. Thus, things from of old was told with a parable (Mt 13:34-35).
 
Jesus who spoke in parables said this parable was the secret of heaven.
This secret of heaven has been hidden since the creation of the world until today.
Also, Jesus said there are those who must know the secret of heaven and those who must not know it (Mt 13:10-15). People who must know it are those belonging to God, and people who must not know it are those belong to the devil. Also, he said those who can’t perceive the parables are outsiders, and they can’t receive atonement for their sins (Mk 4:11-12). The difference between people who have perceived the parables of the secrets of heaven and those who haven't perceived it is the difference between God and the devil. It is the difference between people who have received atonement for their sins and people who haven't. Also, it is similar to the difference between humans and animals.
If so, mustn't people know the parables of the secrets of heaven? The secrets of heaven in the New Testament are written in parables. We must ask ourselves on how much we know about these parables. If you truly believe in Jesus and his word, you must judge yourself whether you are an outsider or you belong to God. Also, you must determine whether you have received atonement for your sins or not.
 
Despite the fact that you don’t know about the parables and its results, you think you are holy, saying, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me, for I am too sacred for you!’(Is 65:5).  At least there is the limit of wrongdoer's audacity(賊反荷杖). How dare you call other people 'heresy'?
In Mt 13, Jesus spoke about the parables of the two kinds of seed and harvest. Jesus accomplished what God promised through the prophet Jeremiah (Jer 31:22, 27, 31). That is, Jesus sowed the good seed (word of God, Lk 8:11) in his field (the church of Jesus), while the devil also sowed his seed (word of the devil, untruth). And, Jesus promised there will be a time of harvest (Mt 13:24-30). The time of harvest is the end of the world (end of the Christianity world). At that time, Jesus harvests the grain-like believers, takes them to the Mt. Zion (Rv 14:1-5), seals them with the word of revelation, and creates new nation of God, the twelve tribes (Rv 7, 14).
   
Jesus, who told the secrets of heaven with parables and figurative language, left. The words Jesus spoke before he left are written in John 14, 15 and 16. Jesus said, ‘Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father (secret of heaven)’. Since then, two thousand years has passed.
 
Today, in Shinchonji Church of Jesus, you can find the promised pastor whom the Holy Spirit is with. This pastor doesn't speak in parables but teaches the true meaning of the parables and reveals the actual fulfillment (actual entities) according to the promise. Jesus spoke (prophecy) the secrets in parables at the First Coming. Today, Shinchonji is testifying the actual fulfillments after fulfilling the prophecies, and this is the actual entity of the secret of heaven.  
 
What we must see, hear, and believe is the prophecy and its fulfillment. Among the two, fulfillment (actual fulfillment) is the most important. Because people believed the prophecies (parable), they could believe the actual fulfillment that fulfilled it. Prophecies can be told in parables, but the actual fulfillment can not. For example, a pastor came but you can't say a dog came (reference: a pastor is figuratively referred to as a dog in the Bible).
 
However, let’s think about today’s problem. According to the promise of Jesus, Shinchonj has explained the parables and revealed the actual fulfillment plainly. Also, since Shinchonji received the word at no cost, we give the water of life (word of the life) at no cost. Regarding this, the existing churches persecute us as heresy because we teach the Bible at no cost, and they criticize us because we explain the parables and teach the actual fulfillment. Which one is the man who does according to the word of Jesus? Out of the two, which is the one who believes in the word of Jesus and who doesn’t believe in it? Which one belongs to God and which belongs to the devil? And
① Is the prophecy that will speak in parables (PS 78:1-4) important?
② Is the prophecy that spoke in parables (Mt 13:34-35) important?
③ Is explaining the parables and showing the actual fulfillment (Jn 16:25) important?
Isn't the purpose of a life of faith seeing the actual fulfillment ③and believing in it?
 
You must believe all these three things; however, the actual fulfillment is most important. As it is time, don’t be one who pretends to be a believer on the outside. Don’t believe your pastor and your church. Above all, you must seek first God’s kingdom and his righteousness, believe in God and his word, become the man who does according to the will of God, and be the people of heaven who are born again. Now, we conclude the actual fulfillment of the parable of the two kinds of seed and the secret of heaven. The two kinds of seed are spiritual seed. They are the seed of God and the seed of the devil. The seed of God is the word of God. The seed of the devil is the word of the devil. The man who is born of the seed of God is the son of God, the man who is born of the seed of the devil is the son of the devil (Mt 13:38). These two kinds of people grow together in one field (church). However, at the time of harvest, they are divided into the son of God and the son of the devil. They are divided into heaven and hell. This is the secret of heaven that will be accomplished. Among these parables of the secrets of heaven, there are three secrets of Revelation. The actual entities of these secrets are the seven stars and the seven lamps, seven-headed and ten-horned animal in Revelation, and the last seventh trumpet sound. These are the secrets of betrayal, destruction and salvation (refer to 2 Thes 2:1-4). The purpose of these secrets(parables) is to create the promised nation, twelve tribes which are written in the book of life by harvesting and sealing.
 
This is the time of harvest and the Second Coming of Jesus. Today, we hope and pray that you perceive the parables of the secrets of heaven, realize the three secrets of Revelation especially, be harvested to the place of salvation, Mt. Zion, become the people of heaven and attain salvation.
 
Amen!

The Idol in the New Testament & the Resurrection of the Dead


 
The Idol in the New Testament
& the Resurrection of the Dead
 
 
Main references: Rv 13, Rv 20
 
What is the idol in the New Testament? What kind of resurrection is the resurrection of the dead? The New Testament refers to a new promise. The idol refers to something which is not of the truth. The resurrection of the dead is referring to how the dead spirit, not the dead flesh, comes back to life.
 
God fulfilled the promise He had established with Abraham at the time of Moses (Ex 12:37-41). God also fulfilled the promises He had made through the Old Testament prophets during the time of Jesus’ first coming (Jn 19:30). Likewise, the promises in the New Testament will also be fulfilled at the time of the second coming (Rv 21:6). This is how the Old and the New Testament promises are fulfilled.
 
What does an idol refer to? People think of an idol as something made of stones, wood, or iron such as the image of Buddha in a Buddhist temple. This type of idol is nothing but an image, which neither benefits nor harms people. The true meaning of an idol according to the Bible, however, is a false teacher (Hab 2:18). Daniel 2 also portrays this type of an idol. In fact, the idol was a person; it was a false pastor.
 
At the time of the first coming, Jesus warned people, “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees.” Just like the yeast at that time, and the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which Adam and Eve ate in their time, today there is the wine of adulteries (maddening wine) which has caused all nations to fall according to Revelation 17 and 18. This wine of adulteries is the same as the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the yeast which a false pastor gives. Those who feed people this wine of adulteries are the pastors who belong to the group of the dragon, the kingdom of demons. They are the reality of the idol in Daniel 2. They are also the idol, the beast, the dragon, and the serpent, portrayed in Revelation 13. How ignorant they must be that they are unable to understand this word!
 
The real understanding of worshiping an idol is for someone to believe in something else which is not God, as though it was God, and believing in a church, which is not of God’s denomination (church), as though it was God’s church. It is also believing and serving someone, who is not God’s pastor, as God’s pastor. Furthermore, believing in a different gospel or doctrine, which is not given by God, is also idol worship.
 
There are two types of people who are referred to as ‘the dead’: People whose flesh has died, and people whose spirit is dead. The physical realities of the dead in Ezekiel 37 were the Jews in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus. It was their spirits, not their flesh, which was dead. In the case of Lazarus and Jesus, it was their flesh which came out of the tombs. The dead, in Revelation 8 and 9, are not the people whose flesh is dead, but rather, they are the people whose spirits are dead. In addition, those who partake in the first resurrection in Revelation 20 refer to the people whose dead spirits come back to life, just like the resurrection spoken of in John 5.
 
In short, the idol in the book of Revelation refers to a false teacher, a false pastor. ‘Death’, in Rv 8 and 9, refers to the dead spirits of the saints. Being alive (Rv 20) refers to the resurrection of the spirits, which were once dead.
 
Today’s nation of Babylon (a spiritual kingdom) is like a tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Dn 4:20). Babylon’s doctrines, which are their commentaries—figuratively called the fruit of the tree of life or the wine of adulteries—have led all nations to go astray and die. What will enable the spirits who have died by eating Babylon’s fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Rv 18), to resurrect is the revelation in the New Testament given in Revelation chapter 10. This revelation is with the one who overcomes found in Shincheonji. It is through this word of revelation, which is the fruit and the leaves of the tree of life, that people come back to life again. They are brought back from death to the resurrection of life. This is the promise of the Bible, and it is the fruit of life, the word of revelation.
 
Whoever believes will receive eternal life and heaven as an inheritance.
