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).

Creation of the Sun, Moon, & Stars in Heaven

 

Creation of the Sun, Moon, & Stars in Heaven

 

 

 

Main reference: Gn 37:9-11

 

How are the creation and the re-creation of the sun, moon, and stars different in the Old Testament and the New Testament? According to Genesis 1 in the Old Testament, on the fourth day, God created the sun, moon, and stars in the expanse, which was in the middle of the waters. How are these sun, moon, and stars different from the sun, moon, and stars appearing in Matthew 24:29? What do they mean?

 

The creation, the end, and the re-creation of the sun, moon, and stars in the Old and New Testaments use the logic of the natural world figuratively. The sun, moon, and stars in the Bible are the physical realities of the creation of the kingdom of heaven.

 

According to the Bible, there are hidden mysteries in the contents of Genesis (Ps 78:2). Jesus spoke in parables in accordance with this promise of God, and he made them known to the future generations (Mt 13:34-35). Jesus also promised he would no longer use this figurative language, but would speak plainly about the Father when the time promised by God comes (Jn 16:25). In fact, according to that very promise today is the time when the word is being made known plainly.

 

This is God’s promise and His will. Furthermore, there is a time when people are not supposed to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. At a time when those secrets are made known, there are people who are permitted to know them, and there are people who are not permitted to know them.

 

God has begun His work of restoration since the fall of Adam, and this work has gradually been fulfilled since the time of Abraham. The law was given at the time of Moses; the gospel of heaven was preached in parables at the time of Jesus; and today, the testimony of the physical fulfillment of Revelation is being proclaimed. This is how the work of restoration has been gradually fulfilled.

 

Genesis 1 does not refer to the creation of the natural world, and yet, God uses the logic of the natural world figuratively to refer to the re-creation of God’s kingdom. There was the corrupt heaven and earth on the first day in Genesis 1. In the midst of this corrupt world, God found one light, and He created heaven on the second day, and He created earth on the third day. On the fourth day, God created the sun, moon, and stars in the expanse, which He had created in the middle of the waters. From this time on, seasons, days, and years started to be marked, and the sun and moon started to govern the day and night. Beginning from Moses’ time, things were, and have been re-created at the time of both, the first and second comings of Jesus.

 

The dream which God gave to Joseph was concerning the sun, moon, and stars (Gn 37:9-11). This sun, moon, and stars represent the chosen people, the Israelites. The tabernacle of these chosen people was heaven and God’s kingdom of promise.

 

On the first day in Genesis 1, the earth was formless and empty, and the heaven above was dark. Afterwards, God created heaven and earth again, and He made the sun, moon, and stars on the fourth day to govern the world. This is the creation and the re-creation.

 

The fact that one generation becomes corrupt and comes to an end indicates the end of the light, the sun, moon, and stars. The sun, moon, and stars are re-created so they can govern in the new heaven and new earth.

 

At Jesus’ first coming, the Physical Israelites became corrupt and came to an end. It was the end of the Israelites, who were the figurative sun, moon, and stars. Thus, it was also the end of the sun, moon, and stars. At Jesus’ second coming, the sun, moon, and stars also become dark and fall. This is the end of the Spiritual Israelites. The Lord said He would come back after this event takes place.

 

The sun, moon, and stars are supposed to be in the sky, but the reason they fall to the ground is because of their corruption, and they are brought to an end. The Physical Israelites, the sun, moon, and stars at the first coming came to an end, and the Spiritual Israelites were created through Jesus, the one who overcame (Israel). These Spiritual Israelites are the sun, moon, and stars which are re-created. These sun, moon, and stars, the Spiritual Israelites, also becomes defiled at the Lord’s second coming, and they come to an end just as Revelation 6 and Matthew 24 prophesy.

 

Before they become defiled, they belong to heaven, but when they become corrupt, they fall to the ground and become part of the earth.

 

The one who receives a white stone in Revelation 2 judges and brings to an end the betrayers of the Spiritual Israelites (those who fell to the earth) and the beast-like pastors, the destroyers. Afterwards, the twelve tribes of God’s kingdom are created. This is the re-creation of the new heaven and new earth, the sun, moon, and stars. Six thousand years of God’s work proves that He brings to an end the previous generations that went wrong or became degraded, and He re-created a new generations in each and every era. Since mankind is worse than any insects, due to their corruption and sin, how could they perceive the signs of heaven? Are not even rats and frogs able to read the signs of heaven?

 

All things on earth live from the things of heaven. There is the sun, moon, and stars in the sky. There is air, rain, winds, and clouds in the sky as well. They grant life to all living things on earth. Among all things on earth, we as people also live as a result of the things of heaven.

 

God’s family, the Israelites, is symbolized by the sun, moon, and stars because their duties are to shine light, brighten up the earth, and to give life. Despite having such duties as light, they betrayed and conducted evil, and therefore, they are no longer able to shine the light. This is why they can no longer dwell in heaven and are thrown away. This is the situation of the Spiritual Israelites who sinned.

 

Since they have been thrown away from heaven and have become night, how can they understand what is of heaven? According to 1 Thessalonians 5, there is light, and there is darkness. There is night, and there is day. Those who sleep do so at night, and those who work, work during the day.  The children of night (darkness) and the children of day (light) differ from one another, in terms of their affiliation. This very word, in fact, is being fulfilled today in the reality of the New Testament.

 

The reason why people persecute is because they dwell in darkness, they are ignorant of the word of our Lord. They belong to evil, and that is why they conduct evil. Shincheonji has overcome sin, wickedness, the devil, and untruth. For that reason, God is with Shincheonji. They are the chosen people who have been re-created to be the sun, moon, and stars of heaven. God has permitted us to know the deep things of heaven. Having become the light of life, we are shining in this earth and giving the light of life to the family of darkness, just as John 1:4 describes. We are giving this light of life, only to those who wish to receive.

 

Shincheonji, who has received the revelation of the New Testament, knows this well. God has descended upon the one who overcomes in accordance with the promises in the Bible (Rv 2, Rv 3). Unless they are dead, everyone will know well that God is accomplishing His will through the one who overcomes. Evil men are born of the seed of the devil, and they belong to the devil. Good men are born of the seed of God, and they are the family who belongs to God.

 

We belong to heaven. Let us complete our duties of heaven. We must carry out our duties as the light of heaven, the sun, moon, and stars, the duties as the saviors, just like God and Jesus. We must not forget all things can live only when we do all our duties entrusted to us, just like the air, rain, clouds, and winds. These are the duties of the family who belongs to heaven. We must not be like the devil or beasts. The flesh dies due to the sins of each person, and it also lives due to the grace each person received. God feeds and clothes all things in heaven and on the earth. Does God not love His own family more than them?

 

The new heaven, which God and we are creating today, is the eternal kingdom that remains forever. The qualification for living with the Lord in this kingdom eternally is to resemble the image and the likeness of God. Do not become worthless people like animals. Keep in mind, God’s family is the light of life. I pray that all of us choose to become this light.

 

Amen!

The Man of Heaven & the Man of the Earth.

 

The Man of Heaven & the Man of the Earth

 

 

Main references: Phil 3:20-21 (Jn 15:18-27)

 

 

How is the man of heaven different from the man of the world (earth)?

The man of heaven is born of heaven through the seed of God. His image is like God and in His likeness (Gn 1:26). It is like the transformed image of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (refer to Mt 17). On the other hand, the man of the world is born from the world, the earth. His image is the image of the earth, the likeness of flesh.

The one born of heaven speaks and listens to the words of heaven, whereas the one born of the world speaks and listens to the words of the world. This is the difference between the one born of heaven and the one born of the world, the earth. Jesus, the son of God, referred to himself as the way, the truth, and the life (Jn 14:6). He also stated no one could come to the father except through this way, truth, and life. According to 1John 1, the word in the beginning is Jesus. It says in John 1:1-4, the way, truth, and life is the word of God. Jesus is with God (Rv 3:21), and it is only through Jesus, who is the way, truth, and life, people can go to the Father. Jesus himself becomes the way and the bridge which allows people to go to God. Without Jesus, there is no way, no truth, no life, and no bridge.

 

Paul said in Romans 8, "If anyone does not have the spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ." In addition to this word, it says in Revelation 3:20, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." These scriptures show who is the one whom the spirit of Christ is with. If Christ is with someone, that person will also know the way and the truth just like Christ. He becomes someone who is led by the Lord, and he becomes the word just like Jesus. People's superficial claims of believe is a part from the will of Christ. Those people are nothing but outsiders.

 

The difference of heaven and the world is enormous, and so is the difference between the sons of God and the daughters of the earth. Their very origins are different: the seed of heaven and the seed of the earth, the world. If someone who is born of the seed of heaven betrays, becomes part of the earth, and unites with the daughters of the earth, then he becomes the same as the earth, that is, mere flesh, just like Adam. The origins of the man of heaven and the man of the earth differ because of their seed. The one born of the earth loves the world; he will listen to the words of the world and follow the world. The one born of heaven, in contrast, loves heaven, which is the kingdom of heaven; he will listen to the words of heaven and follow heaven.

 

Jesus said in Matthew 23, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate." A hen receives the seed of the rooster, lays eggs, and gathers them. She incubates those eggs for 21 days and then hatches and protects them. She also makes sure her chicks follow her through her own voice, and protects them. She looks for food to feed her chicks and knows and recognizes each of her chicks' voices, and raises them. Chicks, too, recognize their mother hen's voice and follow her. If the mother hen is out of their sight, they look for her. The mother hen, who knows the voices of her chicks, quickly runs to her chicks when they call out to her. Chicks know their own mother, look for her, and only follow her. The mother hen protects her chicks, feeds and raises them. On a cold night, the mother hen gathers her chicks under her wings to protect them. The chicks go under the wings of their mother or sometimes they go up on the back of their mother. Jesus, just like a mother hen who lost her chicks, was trying to gather us several times, but people, who were worse than chicks, were not willing according to Jesus' word. Will people ever know that they are actually worse than chicks? 

 
God spoke with a grieving heart in Isaiah 1 when He said, "Hear, O heaven! Listen, O earth! I reared the children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand." He continued, saying, "Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their back on him." God also had Jeremiah record the same story in the book of Lamentations. People sinned just as Adam had sinned. If people are captured by the spirit of the devil, their mentality changes.

 

According to what is recorded in Revelation 13, 17, and 18, the events of the Lord's second coming (today), the Spiritual Israelites betrayed the Lord and followed the pastors of the gentile spirits. In fact, it is all nations which have committed such actions. All nations fell by eating the fruit of the kingdom of demons, in other words, by drinking the wine of adulteries. All nations also married the devil. This shows how they have become one with the devil instead of being one with God. At a time like this, the messenger who speaks on behalf, the one sent by the Lord, comes to the place where the people are held in captivity. He delivers the people and calls them out of this place, harvesting them like a thief. This is the work of salvation, which leads people from death to life at the time of the second coming. Aren’t all the pastors of the nations today persecuting the messenger who speaks on behalf, going against him with every possible means at their disposal, just like at the time of the first coming? Despite such work of persecution, one person overcomes, and the Lord, who is the way, truth, and life, is with the one who overcomes. Because the Lord is with him, the one who overcomes is able to fulfill the New Testament and establish the 12 tribes, the new kingdom of God, and he is also able to judge Babylon, the kingdom of the devil.

 
Up to this point, the actions of betrayal which occurred in the times of the Old and New Testaments, and in the times of the first and the second comings, have been examined.

 

How can those who have become one with the devil recognize God and the one sent by God? Only those who receive the revelation (i.e. the revealed word) will be able to recognize them. God said in John 10, "His sheep follow him (the pastor) because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." Depending on who people are born from, they are destined to follow the masters who gave them birth. The one who knows Jesus' voice will open up his heart and accept it, but those who do not know his voice, the ones who belong to a stranger, will not follow Jesus' voice. Today the one born of God's seed will listen and follow the voice of Jesus, the voice of the holy spirit of truth. The word of the New Testament, the Bible, is the voice of Jesus.

 

Men's words come out of the denominations which were founded and named by men. The temple of heaven, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, on the other hand, was created and named by heaven itself. God dwells in this temple, and His word of life comes out of it. That which is created according to the word of the Bible (the promise) is an object of heaven, just like the tabernacle created in Moses' time. All things, except for the tabernacle previously mentioned, the pastors of the world created and named after their own will are nothing but the things of the world.

 

Where can God’s kingdom be found and which of these people is is God's people?

 
Let us attain salvation by believing in the God of truth, and let us become the citizens of heaven.

 

Amen.
