The names of churches, people, and places in the New Testament prophecies are either figurative or literal. The names of people and places in the prophecies often make figurative reference to the Old Testament. Church names come either from God or from men. There are two kinds of temples: spiritual and physical. A spiritual temple is the temple of a person’s heart (Eph 2:20-22; 1 Cor 3:16), and a physical temple is a physical building where people, who are themselves spiritual temples, gather to worship. At the time of the fulfillment, God chooses a pastor after his own heart and uses him to build a temple according to the pattern in heaven (refer to Ex 25:1-9; Rv 4). In contrast, pastors appointed by men use their own words to build spiritual temples in the hearts of their congregation members and physical temples in the world where their congregation members gather to worship.
In which of these two kinds of temples is God going to reside?
Some of the pastors and temples mentioned in the 66 books of the Bible from the time of Adam to the time of the second coming were promised by God and some were created by men. God's word comes from God’s promised temple (refer to Rv 14:1-3) because God dwells there (refer to Rv 15, Rv 21:1-3). Who resides in the temples created by men? If there is a spirit in these temples, it is certainly not God. The temple of Jerusalem, came to an end after Abraham’s Physical Israel betrayed God and killed Jesus (refer to Mt 24:1-2). Who built the temples (churches) that have been constructed since then? What spirits reside in them?
The New Testament prophesies that New Jerusalem will be established on earth as it is in heaven (Rv 21). This temple is not the temple of Jerusalem from the time of Physical Israel. Since the time of Jesus 2,000 years ago, most of the churches that have been established have been built according to the will of men. Their pastors, too, have been appointed by people. The New Testament promises one pastor and one temple. There is only one chosen pastor and only one chosen temple where all nations must come to worship (refer to Rv 10, Rv 15:2-5). Since Jesus was the true light (Jn 1:9), darkness came to the earth when Jesus left (Jn 9:4-5). The world is again filled with light when the light of life, which is the word (refer to Rv 21:23-26; Jn 1:1-5; 1 Jn 1:1-7), returns.
Since the scriptures say that those who are born of the flesh persecute those born of the Spirit (Gal 4:29, KJV), we know that churches built according to the will of men will persecute the temple built according to the promise of God. Since Shincheonji means “new heaven and new earth,” Shincheonji Church of Jesus has been established according to the Bible (Rv 21). The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is also promised in the Bible (Rv 15:5). The pastor who received the revelation from heaven in Rv 10 is the one who overcomes and the promised pastor God has chosen. Those who persecute the promised temple and the promised pastor do not belong to God (1 Jn 4:4-6). Only those who affirm the truth of the word and its fulfillment correctly can follow the word and attain salvation.
We who have overcame, the 12 tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus—Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony—pray that all the world’s believers will understand the only true God, his promised pastor, and promised temple.
