Our life of faith in Shincheonji

Our life of faith in Shincheonji

 

 

Main reference: 1 Cor 3:16-17

 

 

 

 

Shincheonji is not something of the old, but it is something new. It is the kingdom of God which He newly created after destroying what was old and corrupt. This is fulfilled at the time of Revelation through the Lord’s Second Coming. This is the new people of heaven of the new kingdom, the people who are harvested from the corrupt churches as wheat, born of the righteous seed of God.
 
Those who became corrupt in their life of faith are the outsiders. They are mere gentiles who have no part with God; They are sinners just like Adam. Their worship is offered to demons, not to God. How can the children of God have a relationship with demons? We cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too, and we cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons (1 Co 10:21).
 
The coming of the end of the age of the believers is caused by their corruption. The Lord’s return comes so that the true believers can be delivered and saved from corruption. Satan controls every corrupt church (Mt 24, Rv 1-22), and God’s people, who are held captive, can cross over from death to life as they understand the word preached to them and come before the Lord (refer to Jn 5:24-25).
 
Look at Rv 2 and Rv 3. God and His Word are not in the kingdom that became the kingdom of demons due to its corruption. It is only a place full of money, fame, and authority. How can anyone say that he is not aware of this?
[2 Cor 6:14-18] Do not be yoked together with unbelievers [if you believe in God and his word]. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? *What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? *What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people,” *“Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” *“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
This is the reality of Christianity at the time of the Lord’s second coming.
 
Whoever denies this denies Jesus and his word, and does not believe in Jesus and his word. This is the end of Christianity, and the Christian world became the kingdom of demons, Babylon, due to its corruption. Jesus’ words written in Mt 7, “By their fruit [actions] you will recognize them,” also apply to today’s time.
 
Because today’s Christian world does not have the Word, the spirit of God is not there. People love money and authority and make up numerous lies as if they were manufactured from lie factories. Corruption and curses are preval‍ent, and people are busy persecuting others just like the priests and the elders in the past. The reason for such actions is that they have become the people of Satan.
 
Their actions are bees’ sting, lobsters’ pinch, and vipers’ poison (refer to Prv 23:32). Pastors at the First Coming gathered and plotted to persecute and kill Jesus who fulfilled the Old Testament and testified to it. Likewise, pastors today are trying to kill Shinchonji that is fulfilling the New Testament and testifying to its reality as seen and heard. These pastors are obsessed with what they are doing, and it seems like they inherited the same traditions from the persecuting pastors at the First Coming. Will you say you are not aware of this, even with seeing this reality?
If the congregation members of Shinchonji and the pastors of the world took the same 100-question test regarding the Bible, the difference of their scores would be like heaven and earth. Would they still be able to continue to say with their lips that Shinchonji is heresy? If they are confident, they must participate in an open discussion about the Bible and take the test on the Bible, and they must compare their abilities to the abilities of the members of Shinchonji, instead of insulting Shinchonji.
 
Life of faith in Shcinhonji is faith based on the highest truth of humanity that is given through the Spirit of truth, the Counselor, according to the promise of the Bible (refer to Jn 16:13-14). People of Shinchonji are children of God born of God’s seed of the word, and they are the word in flesh and the walking Bible. Just as God and His Son, Jesus, are both the word (refer to Jn 1:1-4; 1 Jn 1:1-2), the members of Shichonji born of that word are also the word. The one who receives the word is God’s offspring, and he is a god whom God is with (refer to Jn 10:34-35; Acts 17:29).
The churches of the world once dwelled in heaven just like the sun, moon, and stars, and they were people who once shined their light. However, as the end of the age came, they became dark and fell to the earth, becoming a dark night (spiritually). They became the sons and the children of the night and of darkness. We in Shinchonji, by contrast, received the light of life and became the sons of the day and of the light. The churches of the world came to their end, and they now dwell in night and darkness where the word, the light, is absent. All nations fell because of the wine of adulteries, which refers to the doctrine of Satan. The scripture testifies that they married demons (refer to Rv 18:23), but we in Shinchonji have become the new creation born again with God’s seed. We give all the thanks and glory to the Lord God as His new creation (refer to Rv 7; Rv 14; Rv 19; Rv 21; Rv 12:10-11).
 
People’s dried hearts and spirits, which suffered from spiritual drought, are receiving showers of blessings—the new word of Shinchonji given by the holy spirit of truth. They are dancing for God and are offering glory to him. If any believer refuses to carry out a beautiful life of faith, and refuses the beautiful Shinchonji and the City of Truth, his reason for refusal is because he became Satan’s family. Whoever does not believe will receive destruction the world of Adam did, and whoever believes will become the person of heaven, the family of God, who is born from God.
 
Amen! Hallelujah! Thank you.

The Seed of God & the Inherited Seed of the Sinner

The Seed of God 

& the Inherited Seed of the Sinner

 

 

Main reference: Jer 31:27

 

The main reference is the word which God prophesied to Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, roughly 2,600 years ago.  He promised to sow the seed of man and the seed of animals. About 600 years after it was promised, God came to Jesus and sowed seed (Mt 13).

 

What is the seed of man, and what is the seed of animal?

 

Jesus referred to this seed as the secret of the kingdom of heaven in Matthew 13:10-11. The seed (the seed of man) which Jesus, the Son of Man, planted, was the word of God (Lk 8:11). The seed (the seed of animals) that the Pharisees, who were the snakes, the animals, planted was the word of the devil (Mt 23). These were spiritual seeds, not physical seeds. Since they were spiritual seeds, they were planted in people’s hearts. Thus, people’s hearts are figurative fields (1 Cor 3:9).

 

Religion transcends science. If oil runs out of a lamp, then the light will soon be put out. In the same logic, the breath of life which was given during Adam’s time (Gn 2:7) gradually decreased. People lived nearly 1,000 years and then died at that time. The people of today, the children of Adam, however, do not even live 100 years before they die. They die in this way because the life line has been disconnected [from God]. Their life cannot be replenished due to the disconnection, and their breath of life has run out.

 

What is this life? That life is the word of God. God, who is the word, left men, and as a result, the life line has been disconnected. This is why people’s life expectancy has decreased. The sinner who ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil might seems to be alive because he has a soul, but his spirit is dead. Flesh gives birth to flesh, and spirit gives birth to spirit (refer to Jn 3:1-6). Therefore, only when one receives the breath of life from God, will he become a living spirit again. His dead spirit will resurrect from his own tomb and come out of it.

 

No one can enter heaven unless they are born again of God’s spirit and His seed. Before they are born again, they bear the genes of the sinner, the serpent, and they have both good and evil within them. Under this situation, they are like beasts (serpents) which are born of the seed of animals. How can such people live with God in heaven? God chose Adam’s descendants (Noah, Moses, etc.) and worked through them for about 4,000 years, but as a result of what was in their genes, they ended up betraying God. This is why God prophesied in Jeremiah 31, and He gave birth to Jesus through His seed in Luke 1. In doing so, God also allowed Jesus’ disciples to be born again. Since Jesus and his disciples were born again, they did not betray, and they were devoted and faithful even to the point of martyrdom. This is the new work which Jesus carried out. The work of the seed of God’s Son, who is without sin, has begun (Jer 31:22, 27; Mt 13; Jn 1:12-13). This seed has been sown for about 2,000 years. Today, those who are born of this seed are harvested, and God’s new kingdom, heaven, is constructed (Rv 14).   

 

Let us examine the beast, the entity of good and evil.

 

The beast is the serpent. It was the serpent that deceived Eve. The Pharisees were snakes. Even the seven heads and the beast with ten horns in Revelation are the serpents, the group of the dragon. According to Revelation 12:9 and 20:2, the serpent is the devil, Satan, and the dragon. Whoever is born of the genes of this serpent is also a serpent (Mt 13:25-30, 38-39). The serpent was one of the wild animals that God created (Gn 3:1). Eve and Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which the serpent gave to them. Unlike the words of the serpent, they neither became like God, nor did they live, but they died.

 

There is life in God’s word (Jn 1:1-4), but there is poison in the serpent’s word. Whoever receives the word of this poison also tells lies because both good and evil dwell within that person. His end is death. The serpent has the poison of good and evil, which kills life. According to Deuteronomy 32:32-33, the vine is the same as the snake. The wine, which is made of the grapes, the fruit of the vine, represents the poison and the venom of the serpent. Why did the serpent conduct such actions? He attempted to take away what belonged to God, and to become like God.

 

This is also portrayed in Ezekiel 28. This serpent was the archangel who sinned, just as it says in Isaiah 14. He was one of the four living creatures in the North, South, East, and West, whom God ordained. He was full of wisdom, and he was a perfect seal. Every precious stone adorned him. He was in the Garden of Eden and walked among the fiery stones. However, wickedness was found in him. He proclaimed himself to be God. This entity was good, but he became evil. Since his wickedness kills life, the life of those who receive his word will die.

 

What are these two types of trees and their fruit?

 

If one eats the fruit of the tree of life, he will live eternally (Gn 3:22). If one eats the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, he will die (Gn 2:17). God spoke in Psalm 78, “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old.” Through coming to Jesus, God spoke hidden things from of old in parables (Mt 13:34-35).

 

According to the parable in Matthew 13:31-32, if two types of seed are sown, two types of trees grow from them, just like in Genesis 2:9. They become big trees, and birds come and perch in them. A tree symbolizes a person (pastor), and a bird symbolizes a spirit. Jesus was described as a tree in John 15, and his twelve disciples as branches. The twelve branches bore twelve kinds of crops every month. Furthermore, since Jesus referred to himself as the way, the truth, and the life, Jesus is the tree of life in Revelation 22. On the other hand, Babylon in Revelation 18 is the kingdom of demons. This Babylon was the organization of King, Nebuchadnezzar, in Daniel 4:20. This tree bears much fruit. Beasts find shelter under the tree, and birds have nesting places in its branches. What kind of tree is this? It is the tree of the serpent, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Its fruit, the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, is the same as the venom of the serpent, which kills life if one eats.

 

Between the fruit of these two trees, the fruit of the tree of life (firstfruit) represents the word of truth, and the people who are born of this word, according to James 1:18. The fruit made of the word is a person who is born of the word. The identity of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the ancient secret in the Bible, is not a plant in nature. The serpent (the archangel) who betrayed God was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and his word was his fruit. In short, the fruit of good and evil is the same as the venom of the serpent. It symbolizes a lie that kills life, as well as people who are born of untruth, the venom of the serpent. This fruit of good and evil is depicted as the fruit which Babylon longed for, in Revelation 18:14. Jesus spoke about this in parables (Mt 13). According to Jesus’ promise (Jn 16:25), the true identity has been made known today. The serpent and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil both symbolize a false pastor.

 

Why do the scriptures say the seed of animals? Just as it says in Proverb 30:2-3, a person who does not know God and His word is compared to a beast. In other words, God compared people who speak their own words rather than the word of God, to the beast, because the beast does not have the word of God. Ask animals. They neither perceive the word, nor can they speak the word.

 

Today, those who have not received God’s seed, but have instead received the seed of flesh are the people who have been born of the genes of Adam, the sinner, for the last 6,000 years. The genes of Adam are tainted, the mixture of good and evil. We must know what the Bible tells us, and who we are according to the Bible. We also must perceive what kind of era we are living in according to the Bible.

 

The next series of this article will speak about Genesis 1, 2, and 3. Let us all enter into the word and be born again of that seed. I am praying for this.

The promised harvest: The true grain and the weeds

 

 

The promised harvest:

The true grain and the weeds

 

In the Bible, God promises to reap a harvest and separate the true grain from the weeds. Since the scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35), this harvest must take place. Where does this promised biblical harvest occur? Where does God judge the true grain and the weeds?

 

 

To answer these questions, we must know the how the promise was made and how it is fulfilled. God made many promises in the Bible, including the promise with Abraham (Ge 15:13-21). God made a covenant with Moses and his people, but they broke it (Ex 19:5-6; Jer 31:31-21; Heb 8:7-13). This is why Jesus made the new covenant (i.e. the New Testament) according to God's will. God promised Jeremiah that he would plant a seed (Jer 31:27), and roughly 600 years later, God sowed the spiritual seed of the gospel of heaven through Jesus Christ. This is how God fulfilled his promise in the Old Testament, but Jesus, who sowed the seed of heaven, also promised that the time of the harvest would come (Mt13:24-30, 36-43). That promise of Jesus is accomplished in the time of Revelation’s fulfillment (Rev 14:14-20).

 

 

Jesus sowed the good seed and then the enemy came to scatter the weeds. Thus, two kinds of seeds have been growing together in Jesus' field since the first coming. At the time of harvest, the weeds are bundled together and thrown into the fire, but the true grain are harvested to the kingdom of heaven. Who are these true grain? Is a true grain a person who is harvested or a person who remains in the field? Is a weed harvested or does it stay in the field? The field represents the church and its grain are congregation members. The weeds represent people who remain in their churches instead of being harvested. Why do they stay? They are bundled (like weeds) by their pastors so that they cannot be taken away (Mt 23:13). What happens to these people who remain in the field with their pastors? According to the Bible, they are thrown into the fire. These are the words of Jesus Christ (Mt 13:24-30). Anyone who claims that this is wrong must prove it using the Bible.

 

 

What, then, are the firstfruits that are harvested? The seed is the word of God (Lk 8:11), and the 144,000 firstfruits are born again of the word of truth (Jas 1:18; Rev 14:1-5). How and where are they born? They are born of the tree of life, which produces twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month(Jn 15:1-8; Rev 22:1-2). The fruit of the tree are the sons of God born of God's seed. The weeds are the sons of the devil (Mt 13:37-39). Anyone who does not accept the word of God belongs to the world, but anyone who listens to the word of God belongs to God (1Jn 4:5-6).

 

 

God prophesied to Jeremiah that he would plant the seed, and then Jesus and his disciples sowed the seed to fulfill that prophecy. Today, we go like a thief in the night to the fields where the seed was sown so that we can harvest the true grain (1Th 5:1-7; Rev 14:14-16). When we do this we act according to the Bible, that is, according to the prophecies and commands of Jesus that relate to the time of Revelation’s fulfillment. Those who are harvested belong to God and are considered true grain (i.e. God's sons born of God's seed). Those who remain in the field are the weeds that are bundled and burned. This is the word of judgment that allows us to distinguish God's children from the weeds (Mt 13:37-43; Jn 4:36-37).

 

 

The 12 tribes are the gathering place for the true harvested grain. There are people, however, who do not belong to the 12 tribes, but still claim to be orthodox. They still claim to have salvation and to have received the Holy Spirit, but they do not speak according to the Bible. If people who are not members of the 12 tribes claim to be orthodox, what should the 12 tribes of New Spiritual Israel say about themselves? This question is not even worth a response. These people must learn what the Bible really says. Believers in the end times must judge the truth from the lies using the Bible. Now is the time all believers must make the promises of the Bible our way, our truth, and our life.

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.
