The Pastors Who Persecute at the Time of the Fulfillment of the New Testament and the Promised Pastor
Main reference: Rv 22:16 (2 Cor 6)
Who are the pastors who persecute at the time of the fulfillment of the New Testament, and who is the Promised Pastor who is persecuted? The pastors who persecute do not belong to God, and the Promised Pastor, who receives persecution, is the one whom the Lord is with.
Why do they persecute, and why is he persecuted?
Jesus explained the reason for persecution at the First Coming in John 15. The first reason the world (the pastors of Israel) hated (persecuted) Jesus’ disciples was that they had become one with Jesus. The second reason was that they bore many fruits, and the third reason for persecution was that they did not belong to the world. The fourth reason was that it was the fulfillment of the words, “They hate me without reason (Ps 35:19, 69:4),” and the fifth reason was that Jesus did what no one else did (refer to Jn 15:16-27). Jesus received the revelation of the sealed book of prophecies (Is 29:9-13) of the Old Testament and mastered it and fulfilled all of the Old Testament (Jn 19:30). This is the work that he did, which no one else could have done (Is 29:14).
As according to Rv 10, Today’s Promised Pastor of the New Testament received the revelation of the sealed book of Rv 5 and mastered it, and fulfilled the promised prophecies (Rv 21:6). This is the work that he did today, which no one else could have done. Isn’t this what all people desire? And isn’t this something that should take place? Isn’t this the Bible and its promise? Isn’t this the promise that we must hear about, believe in, and be saved?
Why do the pastors of the world persecute all the time, in this time of the New Testament fulfillment and the time of the Second Coming?
At the time of Jesus’ first coming, the Israelite pastors, who claimed that they were the only chosen people among all the peoples of the world, did not think about their own level (the level of their knowledge of the Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment) and persecuted Jesus who came from the heavens by mobilizing the chief priests, the elders, and the Sanhedrin (refer to Mt 26).
Today, 2,000 years after that time, the Christian Council of Korea (CCK), who were proud to call themselves the orthodox among the peoples of the world, did not think about their level (the level of their knowledge of the New Testament prophecies and their fulfillment) and are once again mobilizing all the pastors to persecute the Promised Pastor who has seen and heard what is in heaven and who has been sent by the heavens. How is this any different from the First Coming? Read Mt 23:29-36. This also is what has been fulfilled according to the Bible. Woe to those who persecute!
Next, let us take a look at the meaning of the parable described in Lk 20:9-19. It says that God (the owner) gave His church (the vineyard) to the pastors (the farmers), and God sent His messengers (the servants) to them. However, the pastors did not pay their dues, but threw out the servants and killed them instead. Then, God sent Jesus (the son), but they killed him as he was the heir, and made the vineyard, meaning the church, their own. God, who knew this, said that He would come and destroy (NKJV) the pastors, and that He would give the vineyard to others.”
These words are similar to the meaning in Mt 23. These words apply to today’s era, as well. Do you believe in these words? And if the pastors and congregation member know the time of the fulfillment of these words, they must repent. Do you think God will just watch when they are following the inherited actions of the time of the First Coming?
Don’t the congregation members who are watching with their own eyes know that they are being ruined by their evil actions? CCK has been divided into two (CCK and the Communion of Churches in Korea - CCIK), and every day there are more Christians who are not attending churches. News like this is spreading more and more. On the other hand, Shincheonji, whom they condemn, is growing even more rapidly every day. Anyone who has not received the spirit of the devil will know where the true God is.
One must not believe in the spirit of the devil and become a pastor of the devil, but must believe in God and become God’s pastor to receive salvation. The Bible already explains about the pastor of the devil and the pastors of God. Read Mt 7:15-27.
The serious wrongdoings done within CCK are not reported and other established denominations and those who belong to them are not being persecuted. However, they make up lies about Shincheonji in regards to things that never happened, and persecute Shincheonji and publish biased and false reports.
It is written in Acts 7:51-53 and Mt 5:11-12 about those who persecute and those who are persecuted. When the persecutors continue to persecute even after being told not to do so, they are not persecuting out of their own will. They are persecuting, because the spirit that persecuted the prophets and the apostles in the past entered them; it is by that spirit that they persecute. One can know that the spirit of the devil entered them when they persecute with lies. This is like how the man like the beast with seven heads and ten horns was revealed to be the pastor of the dragon, Satan, when he entered the heaven-tabernacle, fought and overcame its congregation members, gave them the mark of the beast on their hands and heads, and had them worship the idol of the beast (false pastor) in Rv 13. Can you not know after seeing and hearing these things? If one does not know after seeing it, he is blind; if he does not know after hearing it, he is deaf.
One who persecutes has inherited the spirit of the devil. It says that the whole vision is like a sealed scroll and that no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth knows (Is 29:9-13; Rv 5). This is true. When a person claims that he knows the sealed vision and explains it, he is lying before God. It is a false testimony, and such actions serve as the evidence that he is Satan’s pastor who spreads the seed of lies. This is sin. And such testimony is not correct. This is why it is a lie! Their explanations are shameful and detestable.
Who is the pastor the Lord promised about? The Lord shows and makes known to the promised pastor what has been fulfilled according to the prophecies of the Book of Revelation from chapters 1 through 22. He feeds him the revealed book and has him testify to the words that he has seen and heard. From this, it can be known that the promised pastor testifies to the fulfilled realities based on the books of prophecies. This testifies that the physical entities of the entire Book of Revelation exist.
At times like this, perhaps the destroyers and the betrayers, recorded about in the Book of Revelation, a book of prophecies, will hate this testimony the most. They will falsely testify that this testimony is not true. The false pastors are saying that this fulfilled fact is not true. They take photos, make up lies, and report them in order to slander the promised pastor. They are publishing books out of these lies and gaining profit by selling them at a high cost. Whose army are they? They are the army of the dragon; they are the pastors who belong to the dragon.
The Promised Pastor is the pastor who is promised in the Bible, even if he were to say that he is not. The work he does testifies to who he is. And this work is accomplished, for the Lord is with him.
There is only one person who has seen and heard the physical entities of the entire Book of Revelation at the time of its fulfillment, one person who has received the revealed book, and one person who is sent. This is the Promised Pastor of Shincheonji.
Amen!

The Beginning and Origin of Faith - Father God’s heart and His position -
The Beginning and Origin of Faith
- Father God’s heart and His position -
Main reference: Is 1:1-4 (Rom 12:4-5; 1 Cor 12)
In Ez 37, God spoke and prophesied to the bones in the grave, allowed flesh and tendon to attach to them, and gave them the breath of life so that they can live and come out. He poured out the Spirit to these bones who then, became living beings.
In the same way, those who were dying in the graves, during the First Coming, heard the voice of the Son of God and received the breath of life. They rose to life and came out. This was crossing over from death to life (Jn 5:24-29). Then, in the upper attic room, the holy spirit of God was poured upon the disciples (Acts 2), and thus was fulfilled the prophecy of Ezekiel.
Anyone who sins is dead and is like the dust. God created Adam (man) with dust and gave him the breath of life, making him into a living being (Gn 2:7). Adam was created by God and was born as a son of God.
Prophet Isaiah, who saw and heard, wrote about God’s pain: “Hear, O heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: ‘I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.’ Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, and children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord, spurned the Holy One of Israel, and turned their backs on him.” This is the heart of the Father who bore and raised His children.
God the Father, who created the heavens and the earth, gave His own breath of life to Adam and created His son. He gave all creation to Adam as his inheritance. Also, Adam’s partner, his helper, was made from one of his (ribs) (Gn 2:18-24). His helper, Eve, was deceived by the snake, ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and gave that fruit to her husband, Adam also ate it. Adam and Eve broke the covenant they have made with God, their Creator, by obeying and following the snake (Gn 3). If Adam had cut off Eve, who was a part of his own body, and did not listen to her words, the world of death would have never entered, and God’s word would have never left.
Jesus, who was one with God, said in Mt 5:29-30 and Mt 18:8-9 that, “if your hand, foot, or eye causes you to sin, cut if off and throw it away, gouge it out and throw it away, as it is better to enter heaven this way, then to be thrown into the fire of hell.”
Adam listened and believed in the words of the snake and Eve more than the words and promise of God. It is not that Adam and Eve did not know the words of God’s promise and covenant. Even though they knew, they believed in the words of the snake. Because Adam loved Eve more than God, he listened to her words and ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, their outcome was the fire of hell; the act of disobeying God’s word of promise was an act of being undutiful to God, and their conclusion was death.
We are united as one body. Think about the pain when we have to cut off the part of our body that sins--the eyes, hands, or feet (Mt 18:8-9). Will we be able to describe that pain with words? In order to avoid creating a part 2 of Adam, we must obey the word of God.
People try to justify themselves with excuses, situations, positions, and circumstances. This is going against the commands and promise of God. It is written in the Bible what happens before and after the dragon is captured (Rv 20). Before the dragon is captured, there is deception. And after it is captured, there is resurrection and Sabbath rest. Today, we are living in the most critical era. On either side of the line is heaven or hell.
Today, the long work of 6,000 years is finished. This is the time when heaven and God reunites with the perfection of faith. In this era, our faith is our life.
As we have seen in the beginning, the start of a walk in faith is the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (God and the snake), The origin of our walk in faith is faith itself. There is someone who loved us like his own body and saved us with his life. God, the Lord of our life, and hope is here. From the two entities, whose words are you going to choose to listen and believe in? Adam and Eve were in this scenario and made their decision.
In Dt 30:19-20, God said that He called heaven and earth as witnesses. Life and death, as well as blessings and curses, were set before us. In order to live, we must choose life and love God by obeying and closely following His Word.
According to these words, loving anything and anyone more than God is wrong, and it is sin. Even if it is our eyes, hands, or feet, we must cut it off. We must throw away man’s thoughts and ask God, because that is the road to life and blessings (refer to Gal 1:10).
We, the Shincheonji congregation members, believe only in God, Jesus, and the promised pastor, and work with all of our lives and purpose despite the hardships and difficulty. We are one family of heaven. Because of them we work, singing in joy, and live with the hope of being together for eternity.
We, the congregation members of the new era of Shincheonji, are united as one with God as one family in His kingdom of heaven. It is the light that shines to the earth, the beautiful paradise of heaven! Let’s grow, love, and sing. And let’s be thankful. Let’s offer God the glory forever and ever for atoning our sins and calling us to become His kingdom and priests (Rv 1:5-6).
Amen.

Promises the One Who Overcomes Receives
Promises the One Who Overcomes Receives
Main reference: Rv 2-3, Rv 12
It is recorded in John 16:33 that Jesus overcame the world at the First Coming, and it is also recorded that, by overcoming, one sits with God on His throne and receives from God the iron scepter to rule all nations (Rv 2:27, Rv 3:21). And God and heaven were with Jesus during his time (refer to Mt 1:23, Mt 3:16-17; Jn 1:51, 14:10).
Just as such, Jesus said that he would give the one who overcomes the fruit of life, the crown of life, manna, the white stone, the iron scepter to rule all nations, and the morning star; the name of the one who overcomes would be written in the book of life; and God, the holy city that comes down from heaven, and the new name of Jesus would be written on him; and he would sit with Jesus on his throne (Rv 2 ~ 3). These are the promises given to the one who overcomes. Is there salvation to anyone without what are promised in the New Testament such as these? One must know the Bible correctly, and believe correctly.
It is recorded that the Word is God (Jn 1:1). Even if a person called himself, “a believer,” how could he still be a believer if he did not consider the Word important and did not have it in his heart? A person can only be saved by having the promises listed above, and in order for him to be saved, the One Who Overcomes who has received such promises must appear—this is because the One Who Overcomes is the one who receives these promises. As it is the case then, the believers in the last days (the end of the churches) must meet the One Who Overcomes who received the promises recorded in Rv 2 ~ 3 and seek them from him.
Then, against whom must he fight and overcome? Of course, it is Satan, the Nicolaitans, as promised in Revelation chapter 2. When and where does Satan, the Nicolaitans, appear? It was in the tabernacle of the seven stars, the messengers of the lamp that prepares the way in Rv 2 ~ 3. What did they do when they entered this place? They taught the servants of the Lord to deceive and commit adultery, and to feed them sacrifices offered to idols.
Then, who was the physical entity of Satan, the Nicolaitans? During the era of the early churches, Nicolas was a gentile who converted to Judaism (Acts 6:5). He then converted for a time but made a division and left the church and went against the church of God. Nicolas (the Nicolaitans) in Rv 2 ~ 3 is a name figuratively borrowed from Nicolas in the past, and this is because he committed the same acts as before. Nicolas, who appeared in today’s era in the tabernacle that prepares the way, also converted since entering the tabernacle church (Tabernacle Temple), then even became an evangelist (assistant pastor). But he continued to have a relationship with the denomination he belonged to previously, taught the servants in “the tabernacle that prepares the way” with his denomination’s doctrines and commentaries, and made a division to go against God. This “Nicolaitans” was a person with whom Satan was. Jesus chose New John and showed him how the Nicolaitans fed the congregation members of the tabernacle with food sacrificed to idols and how he made them commit adultery. Jesus made known the secrets regarding the Nicolaitans to New John and had him send letters urging repentance to the servants who committed adultery with them.
In other words, the tabernacle that prepares the way must first be established at the time of the end, and Satan, the Nicolaitans, must enter this place and feed food sacrificed to idols and the instructions of Nicolaitans, then after this, letters urging repentance were sent to this place through New John.
The Nicolaitans are called Satan (Rv 2), and how are Satan, the dragon, the devil, and the serpent different from each other? They are all referring to the same being. It says in Revelation chapters 12 and 20 that the dragon was the serpent, the devil, and Satan. The Nicolaitans were the beast with seven heads and ten horns that belonged to the dragon in Revelation chapters 12 and 13, and the beast with seven heads and ten horns were the Babylonian pastor on whom the prostitute in Revelation chapter 17 and 18 was sitting. This is why they were called the Nicolaitans.
How can we distinguish between the one who fights and overcomes the organization of Satan, meaning, the kingdom of the evil spirits also called Babylon, and the ones who were defeated by them? As described in Deuteronomy 28, the defeated separate and flee in seven directions, and the one who overcomes takes over everything and creates the twelve tribes of Israel as Jacob and Jesus did.
The tabernacle of heaven in Revelation 13 was defeated by the dragon’s beast with seven heads and ten horns and fled in seven, and the seven pastors of the dragon (seven heads) took over the tabernacle of heaven (Tabernacle Temple)—this is as according to what is written in Deuteronomy 28. And in Revelation 12, the child (born of the woman clothed with the sun) and his brothers fought the group of the dragon, and the seven heads of the dragon (the group of the dragon) were defeated; they, then, fled in seven directions. God’s kingdom of the twelve tribes and salvation came to the One Who Overcomes. This is the evidence to distinguish between the one who overcomes and the one who is defeated.
This has been fulfilled today as according to the prophecies of Revelation. However, the betrayers and those who belong to the devil do not believe this. We, the believers, receive the blessings promised in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, and have become the people of heaven, God’s kingdom. This is the Bible, the promise, and the kingdom of heaven of the believers. If one knew the fact that the One Who Overcomes has received the promised blessings, he would choose the One Who Overcomes in order to live and to be saved; such a person is the one who believes by perceiving.

God’s Thoughts (Wisdom) and the Devil’s Thoughts (Wisdom)
God’s Thoughts (Wisdom) and the Devil’s Thoughts (Wisdom)
Main reference: Jn 8:41-47
How do God’s thoughts differ from the devil’s thoughts?
Just like how the fruit of the tree of life tastes different from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God’s thoughts and the devil’s thoughts are different. God’s thoughts allow one to know the reality through the Truth so that they can be born again from death to life. However, the devil’s thoughts create lies, and to hide his wrongdoings, he makes people believe those lies. This is also known as deception.
The one who deceived Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3 and the Pharisaic pastors in Matthew chapter 23 were the serpents. Also the Nicolaitans in Revelation chapter 2 of the New Testament, also known as the dragon, the seven heads, and the ten horns from Revelation chapters 12 ~ 13, are the serpents. It is written in Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 that the dragon is the ancient serpent, the devil and Satan. Therefore, they are all the same entity.
The reality of this serpent is the evil spirit and also the pastors who belong to the evil spirit. Because this false spirit (evil spirit) becomes one with the pastor and work together, they are both the same devil.
What is the evidence that proves that God’s words are true and the devil’s words are lies?
As we see in Genesis chapters 2 ~ 3, God’s words were true and the serpent’s words, which are the words of the devil, were lies. The reality that took place as a history, as found in the Bible, is the evidence.
The work of Abraham and Moses promised by God was fulfilled according to His prophecy, and it was proven to be true. The promises made through the Old Testament prophets were fulfilled at the time of Jesus (Jn 19:30), and they too were proven to be true. However, at the time of the First Coming, the pastors (serpents) of the devil, the Pharisees, fabricated lies to hinder the work of God.
The Israelites boasted that they were the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They called themselves the chosen people who belonged to God, and they called God their father (refer to Ex 3:15-16; Jn 8:41, 54). However, Jesus revealed that the pastors of Israel who were persecuting him were liars. He said that their father was the devil, and they too were the devil. He said this because their father was a murderer and a liar from the beginning, and they were lying just like their father (John chapter 8).
This serpent, the devil, lied to Eve during the time of Adam (Genesis chapter 3), he lied during the time of Jesus’ First Coming (John chapter 8), and he lied during the time of Jesus’ Second Coming (Revelation chapter 2).
Throughout the past 6,000 years of the 66 books of the Bible, we are able to see that the pastors who belong to the devil fabricated lies to persecute the messengers sent by God. With those lies, they wrote books of commentaries and taught them to the church members, making them believe in those lies. They have been sowing the seed of the devil and creating their own army. With their army, they have been persecuting and going against those who belong to God, God’s army.
God’s thought was to sacrifice His one and only beloved son to save and bring back to life those who fell into sin. The devil’s thought is to create lies, so people cannot believe in God’s truth and eventually be led to death. This is similar to what the serpent did to Eve during the time of Adam.
God’s characteristics (qualities) are life and the truth. The devil’s characteristics are death and lies. These are the thoughts and the wisdom of each of the entities. In Revelation chapters 21 and 22, those who belong to God and those who are cursed appear. Those who are cursed are those who fabricate lies as recorded in Revelation 21:8 and 22:15. They are the devil, the pastors who belong to the devil, and it is recorded that they will be condemned in the burning lake of sulfur.
How did the pastors of Israel treat Jesus at the time of the First Coming? They slandered Jesus by calling him a cult, persecuted him, and they went as far as to kill him. How about today? Today is the time of the Second Coming of Jesus, the era of Revelation. The heavens and the earth saw and heard what the pastors of the world have done to the tabernacle temple and the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.
The one who overcomes in Revelation, like Jesus at the First Coming, becomes the tree of life. He receives the revelation of God, that is figuratively called the water of life as clear as crystal that flows from the throne of heaven, to give to all people without cost (Jn 14:6, 15:1, 5; Revelation chapter 22). The one who fabricated 14 different lies (content MBC PD Note reported and broadcasted in 2007) to persecute Shincheonji and those who teach commentaries made of lies, will enter the burning lake of sulfur. Also, those who add and subtract from Revelation will enter the flames of hell (Rv 22:18-19).
Regardless of who it is, If one desires to enter the Holy City where the tree of life is at, they must be born again through the water of life (Revealed Word) as clear as crystal that flows from the throne. They must wash the robes of their hearts and have their names recorded in the book of life (Rv 21:27, 22:1-5, 14). If one believes only in the words of the false pastors but do not believe in the words of promise that God gave, then they will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus entirely reveals the events of Revelation to the promised pastor (New John) and chooses him to be his messenger to speak on his behalf as the Advocate. He sends him to the churches to testify to the events of the entire book of Revelation (Rv 22:8, 16). Those who believe and receive this testimony are those who believe in Jesus, as it says in Revelation 1:2-3.
God’s new kingdom is created through those who believe in this and are sealed. This is the place where God dwells. This is the kingdom of heaven.
Amen!

How do God’s thoughts differ from the devil’s thoughts?
Just like how the fruit of the tree of life tastes different from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God’s thoughts and the devil’s thoughts are different. God’s thoughts allow one to know the reality through the Truth so that they can be born again from death to life. However, the devil’s thoughts create lies, and to hide his wrongdoings, he makes people believe those lies. This is also known as deception.
The one who deceived Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3 and the Pharisaic pastors in Matthew chapter 23 were the serpents. Also the Nicolaitans in Revelation chapter 2 of the New Testament, also known as the dragon, the seven heads, and the ten horns from Revelation chapters 12 ~ 13, are the serpents. It is written in Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 that the dragon is the ancient serpent, the devil and Satan. Therefore, they are all the same entity.
The reality of this serpent is the evil spirit and also the pastors who belong to the evil spirit. Because this false spirit (evil spirit) becomes one with the pastor and work together, they are both the same devil.

The Tree of Life Bearing Twelve Crops of Fruit Every Month
The Tree of Life Bearing Twelve Crops of Fruit Every Month
Main reference: Rv 22:1-2
What is the tree of life that bears twelve crops of fruit every month? Where is it? It says in Genesis 3:22 that if one eats the fruit of this tree, he will live eternally. On the other hand, if one eats the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he will die (Gn 2:17). What kinds of trees are they?
The 6,000 years of biblical history are closely connected to these two types of trees. Why is it that seminary schools do not teach about these two significant trees? Why is it that pastors do not let their congregation members know the true identities of these trees? Is a school that does not teach substantial facts about these trees really a seminary school? Is a pastor who does not know these trees really a pastor?
Is it not the condition of salvation to know the mysteries of these two trees? Or is it the condition of salvation to offer much monetary offerings and to do much volunteer work? A place where these mysteries are known is the place where the Holy Spirit is at work, and it is the place where salvation can be conferred on people. Please read 1 Corinthians 2:10.
Jesus revealed the mysteries of what was hidden since the creation of the world, but he made them known in parables (Mt 13:34-35). He also stated that he would not speak figurative language anymore but would tell us plainly about the Father (Jn 16:25).
A tree grows from a seed. Jesus spoke about this seed being the secret of the kingdom of heaven, and he also mentioned how there were people who were not permitted to know this secret of the kingdom of heaven (Mt 13:10-15).
He will make this known to us if now is the promised time. The one to whom this secret has been shown and made known must know the identities of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It is only to one person that this is shown and made known according to the New Testament (Rv 22:8). The one who knows the true identities of these two trees is the true pastor according to the book of Revelation, and he is the one whom the Lord has promised.
Christians at this era are indifferent about God, God’s word, and the promised pastor. They only trust the words of their own pastors. How can they be called believers who believe in God and the Bible? Let us hear from the promised pastor who has seen and heard the two types of trees.
Genesis 2 makes references to the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (the tree of good and evil in short). Jesus illustrated a parable where a small seed is sown, and a tree grows from it. Once a tree is fully grown, birds come and perch in it. The tree of life grew as the seed of life was sown, whereas the tree of good and evil grew as the seed of good and evil was sown.
Roughly 2,600 years ago, God promised in Jeremiah 31:27 in the Old Testament that two types of seeds would be planted. From that time on, this promise was proclaimed for about 600 years, and after 600 years God came to Jesus and planted His seed according to the promise. The snakes, the Pharisees, also planted the seed of the serpents (refer to Mt 13, Mt 23). The seed symbolizes the Word (or the word) (Lk 8:11). These two types of seeds were sown in one place (Jesus’ field), and they have grown together until the end of the age (Mt 13:24-30). Since the two types of seeds were sown during the first coming of Jesus, the prophecy concerning two types of seeds being sown was already fulfilled. Next is regarding the harvest promised in the New Testament. Once harvest is carried out, then the prophecy concerning the harvest comes to pass at that time. It says in Matthew 13:37-39 that those who are born of the seed of the devil are the sons of the devil, and those who are born of the seed of God are the sons of the kingdom of heaven.
The scriptures testify that the Word is God and life (Jn 1:1-4), and this Word is also the seed. A tree that grows from God’s seed of life is the tree of life, and a tree that grows from the devil’s seed of death is the tree of good and evil. The son of God, Jesus, was born of the seed of God, and he was the true vine and the tree of life (Jn 15:1-5, Jn 14:6). He had twelve branches and twelve kinds of fruit, and birds came and perched in the branches (Mt 13:31-32). Nebuchadnezzar, a pastor of Babylon, was also portrayed as a tree (a wild vine and the tree of good and evil). He had branches and fruit, and birds came to perch in him (Dn 4:20-22). These two types of trees represent a pastor of God and a pastor of the devil, respectively.
What do these two types of fruits (crops) from the trees represent? According to Isaiah 5, God planted a vineyard with choicest vines and looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit [wild grapes]. The scripture testifies that these vines and plants are the men of Israel (Judah) (Is 5:2-7). What are those bad wild grapes?
The fruit of good and evil that the wild serpent gave to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, in fact, was the bad wild grapes. Just as Deuteronomy 32:32-33 states, these wild grapes (the clusters of the enemies) are bitter, and their wine is the venom of serpents and the deadly poison of cobras. Thus, the bad wild grapes symbolize wickedness (false truth) from the serpent. It was this wickedness that Adam ate, and his life, that is, his living spirit, died.
In the middle of the Garden of Eden were two types of trees (Gn 2:9) These trees originated from their seed, and the seed represents the Word/the word. Therefore, the tree is a metaphor, indicating that which is born from a person’s heart when the Word/the word is planted in that heart. These two types of trees refer to two types of gods (spirits) and two types of pastors, as examined from Matthew 13 (the time of the first coming of Jesus) and Revelation (the time of the second coming). To be precise, they refer to God’s spirit and the pastor of God’s tabernacle, and to Satan’s spirit and the pastor of Babylon, the kingdom of demons (Satan).
How did the tree of good and evil come to exist? First a god, that is, a spirit betrayed, and that very spirit provoked a flesh to betray as well, and that spirit dwelled with that flesh (pastor). It happened to Adam, Solomon, and the chosen people of the tabernacle of heaven in Revelation 13.
The King of Tyre proclaimed himself to be God according to Ezekiel 28. The spirit that entered into this King of Tyre was the covering/guardian cherub. This cherub was one of the four living creatures just as seen in Ezekiel 10. The four living creature are heavenly hosts and archangels who control the army in heaven. They are situated to the north, south, west, and east side of God’s throne. This cherub was in the Garden of Eden. Every precious stone adorned him. Tambourine and harp were prepared on the day he was created. He was anointed and full of wisdom and the model of perfection [the perfect seal]. This spirit, the archangel, betrayed God, and became Satan. He was the one who deceived Adam and Eve, and who entered into the King of Tyre. This is why the King of Tyre proclaimed himself to be God.
Satan, the cherub that betrayed and his pastors are figurative trees of the knowledge of good and evil, which strayed away from good and ended up being evil. The fruit from this tree symbolizes the words from the cherub. The serpent is the physical reality that was created through the words of the cherub. The words that this serpent speaks are the figurative fruit of good and evil.
During the time in the Garden of Eden, Adam and the serpent were two types of trees. (* After Adam betrayed, he also became the tree of good and evil and was banished from Eden.) In the time of Jesus’ first coming, Jesus and the Pharisees were the two types of trees. In the time of Revelation, the one who overcomes—the male child born of the woman clothed in the sun in Rv 12—and his brothers, and the Nicolaitans (the prostitute and the beast with seven heads and ten horns) are the two types of trees. Two kingdoms of these two trees at this present time are Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony and Babylon.
Who caused whom to betray, which is the act of giving the fruit of good and evil? How did this happen? It was the spirit that betrayed that caused God’s saints (the saints in Rv 13) to betray. This betrayal happened as the devil’s false pastors educated God’s saints to convert to their own denomination, just as Calvin did. This conversion education was the act of giving the fruit of good and evil.
One is able to see and understand the physical realities of the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from the book of Revelation. Jesus said, “On that day (at the time of the second coming), you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” (Jn 14:20; Rv 3:20; Gal 4:1-7; Rom 8:9). Likewise, Matthew 13:31-32 explains the unification of a spirit and a flesh. God (spirit) resides in a tree of God’s person like Jesus. The devil (spirit) resides in a tree of the devil’s person. These trees can be recognized by their actions.
We are very well aware of the incidents of the Christian Council of Korea (bribe, corruption, and divisions). What should their congregation members do? Since the Christian Council of Korea has betrayed God’s Way, then they should leave and be separate from this organization just as 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 teaches us. Then God will be with them.
Shincheonji has mastered the Bible, and has seen and known the physical realities of Revelation. Shincheonji is the kingdom of heaven, the twelve tribes. It is the new creation that has been established according to God’s will. In the time of Revelation, one generation comes to an end, and a new generation is launched. At this new era, the twelve tribes are created through the people who are harvested and sealed. At a time like this, God’s pastor—who is symbolized by a tree of life just like Jesus (refer to Jn 15:1-5)—bears twelve kinds of fruit every month through the water of life as clear as crystal flowing from the throne. Its leaves are for the healing of the nations (Rv 22:1-2). This place is God’s new kingdom, heaven. This era is the new era, the era of Shincheonji. It is into this place that birds, the holy spirits, come and perch (refer to Rv 21).
At the same time, Babylon, the tree of good and evil appeared with the form of the beast with seven heads and ten horns. However, they were judged in Revelation 16 and 18. Having been judged, the dragon and the beast, the dragon’s false pastor, are going to be locked up in the Abyss, and they are put to an end (Rv 19:20, Rv 20:1-3). After God and Jesus have fulfilled this, they have sent their messenger on behalf to testify to this fulfillment for the churches (Rv 22:16). Thus, the messenger is actively carrying out this work.
Those who wash their robes with the revealed word that is as clear as crystal, and who go to the tree of life, will receive the water of life without cost, and their names will be recorded in heaven (Rv 22:14, Rv 21:27).
Amen!

It is into this place that birds, the holy spirits, come and perch (refer to Rv 21).
At the same time, Babylon, the tree of good and evil appeared with the form of the beast with seven heads and ten horns. However, they were judged in Revelation 16 and 18. Having been judged, the dragon and the beast, the dragon’s false pastor, are going to be locked up in the Abyss, and they are put to an end (Rv 19:20, Rv 20:1-3). After God and Jesus have fulfilled this, they have sent their messenger on behalf to testify to this fulfillment for the churches (Rv 22:16). Thus, the messenger is actively carrying out this work.
Those who wash their robes with the revealed word that is as clear as crystal, and who go to the tree of life, will receive the water of life without cost, and their names will be recorded in heaven (Rv 22:14, Rv 21:27).
Amen!

The War between Shincheonji and the Christian Council of Korea / Current Christian Denominations
The War between Shincheonji and the Christian Council of Korea / Current Christian Denominations
Main reference: Rv 13, Rv 12
The war of the New Testament is the war between God’s tabernacle and Babylon, the nation of demons. Who is victorious and who is defeated?
The beast (pastor) with seven heads and ten horns of the dragon’s nation, Babylon, attacks God’s kingdom, the first tabernacle (Tabernacle of heaven from Revelation 13), and devours it (1st war). After this, the war begins between the child (male) born from the woman clothed with the sun, moon, and stars in Revelation 12, his brothers, and the dragon’s group of the beast with seven heads and ten horns. The dragon’s group is defeated as a result, and the child and his brothers are victorious. The dragon’s group that was kicked out from heaven stands on the shore of the sea to fight those who have the testimony of Jesus.
‘Those with the testimony” are those who were victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of his name in Revelation 15 and 13. The “shore of the sea” is referring to the many people of the world who are as numerous as the sand. The “shore of the sea” today is referring to the current Christian denominations stemming from the Christian Council of Korea. Like the dragon, they have declared a third war against Shincheonji.
In the first war, the dragon (Satan) from Revelation 13 is victorious. In the second war in Revelation 12, the dragon is defeated. The dragon declares a third war through the Christian Council of Korea (refer to Rv 16:13-16). However, they are unable to win. The Christian Council of Korea is rising in anger due to their continuous loss. Like a street dog, they are noisy. What is the evidence that the Christian Council of Korea is continuously facing defeat? The president of CCK bought his way through a plutocratic election. The CCK split into two (Christian Council of Korea and Communion of Churches in Korea). There was an internal war as they called each other a cult. The congregation members who leave because of this (In the Korean article, they are referred to as “congregation members of Canaan.”
Ironically, Canaan spelled backwards in Korean means, “I am not going to go [to church].”) are increasing day by day. The number of congregation members of CCK is decreasing, the church seats are empty, the churches are being sold and closing doors, the corruption of the pastors are made known to the world day by day, and rumors upon rumors are formed. These are the evidence.
On the other hand, Shincheonji is victorious and increasing day by day. The whole world is gathering like a cloud, receiving a grand welcome. Denominations with 14 million and 12 million congregation members are rushing to Shincheonji; this is evidence that Shincheonji is victorious.
Because of this, CCK and the current Christian denominations are in an uproar. Every region has formed a group to discuss matters about Shincheonji. Pastors of all the churches have gathered to persecute Shincheonji. However, Shincheonji does not even blink an eye and the arrow they shoot backfires to them. We are able to see one era disappearing like a straw in fire. How is this not the Shincheonji where God is at? The tree of life is at the victorious nation of Shincheonji. This tree bears 12 crops of fruit every month and the leaves are for the healing of all nations.
We overcame with the blood of Jesus and the words of testimony. Come out, all people captured by the spiritual Babylon (Rv 17:14, 18:4). Read 2 Corinthians 6 and come out from Babylon. God is waiting.
CCK and the current Christian denominations, in other words, Babylon, the organization of dragon that destroyed God’s tabernacle in Revelation 13, come to an end after receiving judgment in Revelation 16 and 18. Come out from there and listen to the testimony of the graduates of the Zion Mission Center. Among them are people who were once leaders of the group that discussed matters about Shincheonji. Those who surrender in this war and come (those who came out from CCK and the current Christian denominations) are increasing in number day by day.
The CCK and the current Christian denominations are busy. They need to resolve their internal issue while fighting with Shincheonji. They are like soldiers on the battleground without weapons. However, as it says in the Bible, we have been completely armed (refer to Eph 6:10-20). We can even call it a nuclear weapon. The members of CCK are no more than defeated soldiers. We will capture them (beast and cattle) and have our fill (refer to Mt 22:4) at the wedding banquet of the Lamb.
Even though the CCK and the current Christian denominations declared war on Shincheonji, many people came out from these denominations to Shincheonji. Also, because of internal divisions, CCK split into two; both sides are blaming each other, calling one another a cult. Isn’t this how CCK and the current Christian denominations are coming to an end? Their weapons are insults, lies, persecutions, and curses. Before a nuclear weapon, these cannot stand a chance as weapons. The nuclear weapon that we have is the blood of Jesus and the word of testimony (refer to Rv 12:11).
On the throne of Shincheonji are the throne of God, the throne of Jesus, and the throne of the 12 apostles in the spiritual realm. Thousands upon thousands of angels are with throne as well. This throne is the place where all nations must come and worship. The twelve tribe leaders who are with the twelve apostles are entrusted with the authority to judge (Mt 19:28).
The four living creatures ride the horses (refer to Rv 6); heaven and earth shake at the sound of the galloping horses. Let us offer glory for ever and ever to our God who has been victorious.
Amen, hallelujah!

Fulfillment of the New Testament
Fulfillment of the New Testament
Main reference: Rv 21:6
The New Testament that Jesus prophesied 2,000 years ago has been fulfilled. The prophecies of the Four Gospels and the Book of Revelation have been fulfilled as promised (Rv 21:6), without being added to or subtracted from it.
The seven stars (messengers) and the seven churches have appeared as prophesied, and the messenger who speaks on behalf of Jesus (the New John) sent letters to the seven messengers which urged them to repent. Satan, Nicolaitans, entered the tabernacle of the seven stars, fed food sacrificed to idols to the congregation members of the tabernacle, and had them commit adultery. How can anyone deny this fact?
After this, the New John was in the Spirit and was taken up to heaven (the spiritual realm), and saw the organization of the throne in the spiritual realm in Rv 4. He saw the scroll sealed with seven seals in God’s hand in chapter 5, and heard Jesus will open the seals.
He saw Jesus open the seals in chapter 6, and the work of sealing took place in chapter 7.
The sealed scroll became wide open as the last seal was opened in chapter 8. The New John heard the sounds of the trumpets in chapter 8 (sounds of the 1st~4th trumpets) and saw what happened at that time, and also saw the terrible reality that took place at the sounds of the trumpets in chapter 9 (the 5th and the 6th trumpets). How can he say that he did not see it, and did not know it?
In chapter 10, the New John received the scroll the angel gave, and testified what the angel commanded.
In chapter 11, he experienced hardships and even spiritual death, and saw how the kingdom of the world became the kingdom of God at the sound of the last and the seventh trumpet.
In chapter 13, he saw the group of the dragon enter the tabernacle and give mark on the foreheads and the right hands of the congregation members, and saw how the congregation members of the tabernacle were destroyed.
In chapter 12, we (the child born from the woman clothed with the sun and his brothers who are the people of Shincheonji) fought the group of the dragon with their lives on the line and overcame them. The group of the dragon was thrown out of the tabernacle of heaven, and starting then came God’s kingdom and salvation described in Rv 7 (Rv 12:10-11). They are the people who are harvested as described in Rv 14, those sealed in chapter 7. This is God’s kingdom described in Rv 14. The location of Rv 14 is also the location of Rv 15.
Those standing beside the sea of glass (people of the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony; Rv 15:2) after overcoming and coming out the location of Rv 13, which is the location of chapter 12, became the bowls of wrath in chapter 16. The angels poured them out to the earth, which is the tabernacle of heaven that betrayed, and the sea, which is the destroyers. This was the judgment of the betrayers and the destroyers.
The great city Babylon in chapter 16 (Rv 16:9) was the group of the dragon in chapters 13 and 12, and the wine of adulteries which the prostitute fed in chapter 17 was the doctrine of Satan.
The mystery of Rv 1 was the seven stars (Rv 1:20), which was the mystery of the betrayers. The mystery of Rv 17, which was the mystery of the destroyers, was the prostitute and her group, the beast with seven heads and ten horns (Rv 17:7). And the mystery of the last trumpet in Rv 10:7 was the child in chapter 12, and the blood of Jesus and the word of testimony. This was the mystery of the savior, and these are the three mysteries of the Book of Revelation.
The nations fallen in Rv 18 were the group of the dragon of Babylon, and the reason they fell was because of the wine of adulteries. Their (the congregation members of Babylon) wedding was the wedding with Satan. Rv 16 was regarding the judgment of the betrayers and the destroyers, and chapter 17 and 18 were the description of how the destroyers, Satan Babylon, were judged.
Chapter 19 takes place after chapter 18, and this is when the wedding supper of the Lamb begins. This banquet was thrown with the betrayers (chapter 13) and the destroyers (chapter 17) captured (refer to Mt 22:4). The martyred spirits and those who overcame today are satisfied with this food and give glory of thankfulness to God (Rv 19:17-21).
The first resurrection takes place in chapter 20 where the spirits and the flesh gathered in Rv 19 become one; the kingdom of the thousand years is established.
Chapter 21 is regarding how God and heaven come down and become one with the place where a new era began, after the previous era came to its end. This is the new heaven and the new earth, which is Shincheonji.
In chapter 22, those who washed the clothes of their hearts with the crystal-like water of life, which is the revealed word, enter the holy city where the tree of life is. It also says that the crystal-like water of life (revelation) is given freely to those who wish.
At this time, the dogs and those who practice falsehood cannot enter the city but remain outside, and those who add to or subtract from Revelation are not able to enter the city either.
This is today’s fulfilled reality of Revelation. This is when Jesus chooses the One Who Overcomes as the messenger who speaks on behalf—he is the one who saw all of the events of Revelation (Rv 22:8), the one who received the revealed scroll (Rv 10), the one who sent letters to the seven messengers (Rv 2, 3), and the one who knows the three mysteries (Rv 1, 10, 17). Jesus chooses him to testify to the church what he has seen and heard (Rv 22:16). How could the messenger who speaks on behalf (the New John) not obey those words, when Jesus gave him the revealed scroll, showed him the events of all of Revelation, and commanded him? Just as Elijah and Jesus obeyed God, how could the messenger who speaks on behalf not go where Jesus was sending him? And as he was told to testify, how could he not? He is obeying to that command.
Not only does the messenger who speaks on behalf knows the true meaning of the New Testament’s Revelation, but he is testifying to it because he saw and touched the physical entities of the prophecies spoken in Revelation. This is different from the testimonies of regular pastors who claim to know the meaning of Revelation from studying or interpreting with their thinking, or from interpreting using commentaries.
I will summarize as what follows: the main characters of Revelation’s three mysteries are the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior, and the events of all of Revelation are regarding the three mysteries which are betrayal, destruction, and salvation.
Revelation chapter 6 is regarding an era of religion coming to its end, and Revelation chapter 7 is regarding the coming of a new era, meaning, the creation of a new era.
Revelation 13 makes known that a church of one era betrayed and was destroyed, and Revelation 14 makes known that a new world is created and God comes down to be with people.
Revelation 18 makes known that all nations became a possession of Satan and that they married Satan. Revelation chapter 19 makes known the wedding supper of the Lamb that takes place after the judgment of Babylon, the kingdom of Satan in Revelation 18.
Jesus who fulfilled the Old Testament promised the New Testament, and he fulfilled the New Testament’s Revelation today in the nation of East, in Republic of Korea. This is the Bible, this is the prophecy, and this is the fulfillment of what is promised.
If one has eyes and ears, he must see and hear. If he has a heart and a mind, and has a sense of judgment and faith, he must follow the will of the heavens and become a person of heaven in the new era, as according to chapters 7 and 14.
Isn’t the fulfillment of Revelation, ultimately the New Testament, that we the believers have been wanting, waiting, and believing in? Let us do the Lord’s will as promised, and fulfill the hope. Let us also be thankful.
This is an era to receive God’s grace; it is the day of salvation. Let us not miss this time. I pray the Lord’s guidance will be with you.

To All the People in the World
To All the People in the World
I, the Promised Pastor (the One Who Overcomes) of Shincheonji, did not come on my own. I was sent in Jesus’ name. This era today is the end of the churches, and I was sent to the churches (Rv 22:16).
What I testify to the churches are the things that fulfilled (physical fulfillment) according to Revelation. When Jesus said to believe in the New Testament, he was referring to the fulfillment of Revelation (refer to Rv 1:1-3, Rv 22:6-7). Those who do not believe in this are people who do not believe in Jesus and his words. I am Jesus’ messenger who speaks on his behalf. Cursing the messenger-who-speaks-on-behalf is like cursing Jesus, like the Pharisees and the teachers of the law at the First Coming.
The prophecies God made to Abraham at the time of Israel (Gn 15) was fulfilled from Egypt through Moses. The promises made through the various Old Testament prophets were fulfilled by Jesus. The things Jesus prophesied about 2,000 years ago through John who was at the island of Patmos, fulfilled today at Mt. Cheonggye in the city of Gwacheon of the Republic of Korea. The messenger-who-speaks-on-behalf testifies to the churches what have been fulfilled. Do not become like the people at the First Coming, who did not believe but persecuted, but let us check for ourselves and believe in order to receive salvation.
If there is anyone who examined the Bible and wants to receive salvation as written in the New Testament, let me ask:
At the end of the churches, should one follow and believe in their pastor’s words to receive salvation or should one follow and believe the promised pastor? Please answer. Some say, “At the end of the world (end of age), one cannot go to heaven if he/she listens to anyone else other than his/her pastor. Listening to the words of an outsider is getting deceived.” Is this saying even Biblical? If a blind congregation member becomes one with the deaf, the hypocrite, the false witness who testifies lies rather than the Word, would he/she go to heaven? Why is it that they do not know and believe in the Bible and its will? Is it genetics? Is it a habit? Persecutions, mockery, and murder—who are these from? (refer to Jn 16:1-4; Mt 5:11-12)
The LORD said, “you must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious” (refer to Ez 2:7; Mt 15:24). Just as the era of the Law of Moses ended and the era of the New Testament of Jesus came, the era of the New Testament prophecies ended and the new era of the Lord’s second coming and the Promised Pastor has come. One era has gone and a new era has come. Who can prevent this from happening?
Those who are ignorant come to an end with one era, while those who perceive become the people of heaven of the new era. They live eternally in heaven together with God who reigns.
This place is the promised kingdom, the Twelve Tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.
Amen!

I, the Promised Pastor (the One Who Overcomes) of Shincheonji, did not come on my own. I was sent in Jesus’ name. This era today is the end of the churches, and I was sent to the churches (Rv 22:16).
What I testify to the churches are the things that fulfilled (physical fulfillment) according to Revelation. When Jesus said to believe in the New Testament, he was referring to the fulfillment of Revelation (refer to Rv 1:1-3, Rv 22:6-7). Those who do not believe in this are people who do not believe in Jesus and his words. I am Jesus’ messenger who speaks on his behalf. Cursing the messenger-who-speaks-on-behalf is like cursing Jesus, like the Pharisees and the teachers of the law at the First Coming.
The prophecies God made to Abraham at the time of Israel (Gn 15) was fulfilled from Egypt through Moses. The promises made through the various Old Testament prophets were fulfilled by Jesus. The things Jesus prophesied about 2,000 years ago through John who was at the island of Patmos, fulfilled today at Mt. Cheonggye in the city of Gwacheon of the Republic of Korea. The messenger-who-speaks-on-behalf testifies to the churches what have been fulfilled. Do not become like the people at the First Coming, who did not believe but persecuted, but let us check for ourselves and believe in order to receive salvation.
If there is anyone who examined the Bible and wants to receive salvation as written in the New Testament, let me ask:
At the end of the churches, should one follow and believe in their pastor’s words to receive salvation or should one follow and believe the promised pastor? Please answer. Some say, “At the end of the world (end of age), one cannot go to heaven if he/she listens to anyone else other than his/her pastor. Listening to the words of an outsider is getting deceived.” Is this saying even Biblical? If a blind congregation member becomes one with the deaf, the hypocrite, the false witness who testifies lies rather than the Word, would he/she go to heaven? Why is it that they do not know and believe in the Bible and its will? Is it genetics? Is it a habit? Persecutions, mockery, and murder—who are these from? (refer to Jn 16:1-4; Mt 5:11-12)
The LORD said, “you must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious” (refer to Ez 2:7; Mt 15:24). Just as the era of the Law of Moses ended and the era of the New Testament of Jesus came, the era of the New Testament prophecies ended and the new era of the Lord’s second coming and the Promised Pastor has come. One era has gone and a new era has come. Who can prevent this from happening?
Those who are ignorant come to an end with one era, while those who perceive become the people of heaven of the new era. They live eternally in heaven together with God who reigns.
This place is the promised kingdom, the Twelve Tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.
Amen!

Reborn by Water and Spirit
Reborn by Water and Spirit
Main reference: Jn 3:1-6; 1 Pt 1:23
What does it mean to be reborn by water and spirit?
Water is the Word and the spirit is the holy spirit, in other words, the spirit of God. It means to be reborn by God’s seed (Lk 8:11) and God’s spirit. (Jn 3:5; 1 Pt 1:23). It is not the rebirth of a flesh.
Jesus spoke about rebirth, because the Israelites at that time were not reborn by God’s seed but by the inherited seed of Satan. However, the Jews of Israel did not realize this fact and thought that they were born of God as His chosen people and family, and they thought that God was with them.
Jesus and the Jews argued about this in John 8. Jesus testified that Israel and the Jews were not the children of God, but the children of Satan. The Jews claimed that they were descendants of Abraham, God’s children, and the chosen people.
Let us briefly look at the words of Jesus and the words of the Jews.
<Jn 8:37-47> 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.” 39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Jesus told the Jews that he knew they were descendants of Abraham in flesh. However, he told them that, in spirit, they were children born of their father, the devil. Not all of Israel was Israel, and not all Jews were Jews. This was because the kind of spirit one receives determines whose spiritual children they will become. In other words, the outside and the inside are different. Just as Jesus said (Jn 8:37), Israel and the Jews at that time were physically descendants of Abraham. However, the spirit that was in them was the devil. That is why Jesus said, “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but spirit gives birth to spirit” (Jn 3:6). He talked about the spirit not the flesh (Jn 3:5). Because Abraham’s descendants, the Jews, were like Adam and Eve, born of Satan’s seed of the word and Satan’s evil spirit, Jesus told them to be reborn by God’s seed and God’s spirit.
Up to now, we have talked about the reality of the situation 2,000 years ago. Another 2,000 years have passed, so what is the reality of today? Let us look at the prophecies that are recorded and their physical reality. Please listen carefully.
God and Jesus said in the New Testament—Revelation 6, Matthew 24, and Revelation 18—that the sun, moon, and stars will darken and fall (Mt 24:29; Rv 6:12-14), that not one stone here will be left on another (Mt 24:1-2), that all nations have fallen because they have drunk the maddening wine of adulteries, that all nations have been led astray and married to the spirit of the devil (refer to Rv 18:3, 23). At night (spiritual) when the sun, moon, and stars have darkened, the Son of man will come on clouds and will send his angels with a loud trumpet call to gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other (Mt 24:29-31).
Jesus prophesied about this event in the New Testament, and today, this event has come upon us like a thief in the night (1 Thes 5:1-9).
Today, when this kind of event occurred, the Christians are claiming that they are the chosen people who believe in God and Jesus. How are they different from the Jews at the First Coming? Aren’t they the same? Today, the world of believers, all nations, have been led astray, all nations have fallen and married to the evil spirits (Rv 18). Receiving the maddening wine of adultery (words of commentaries: fruit of the knowledge of good and evil) is marrying the spirit of Satan. Where? In one’s own church.
That is why the churches have crumbled, not one stone is left on another, and all nations have fallen. Without being born by God’s seed and God’s spirit, can they enter heaven? Please answer.
Even though these events occurred, aren’t they thinking and believing that they are God’s pastor and God’s children, like the Jews who thought that they were the descendants of Abraham? Aren’t they like the sun, moon, and stars that lost their light (Mt 24:29)? There is no one who knows and believes in the New Testament, is there not?
What are the New Testament prophecies that Jesus promised about? What did he say that he will do? Is this not the end of the churches of the chosen people? The sun, moon, and stars are the chosen people (Gn 37:9-11). When the sun, moon, and stars fall from heaven, they have become sinners who betrayed and are no longer the chosen people. The work of the spirit has returned to flesh, like the way Adam and Eve returned to flesh. Despite this, would one still act like they know, self-righteous and holy?
The end of age that God and Jesus spoke about, the end of age that the disciples spoke about and the New Testament spoke about is referring to the end of the churches of the former-heaven. Why do you not believe in the words of the promise? They do not even believe and do not know. They have become complacent and corrupted. Like Physical Israel, they have become the family of the dragon (refer to Mt 7:15-20).
The world of religion has become like this at the time of Jesus’ second coming, so with no exceptions, everyone must be reborn of God’s seed and the holy spirit. One must be sealed with the words of revelation today, become part of the 12 tribes purchased by Jesus’ blood (Rv 5:9-10), which is the promised kingdom, the promised temple, and the promised pastor. That way, one can become part of the people of heaven in God’s new kingdom.
Today, at the end of Spiritual Israel, one must follow the promised pastor to receive salvation. This is the promise of salvation, the New Testament. Why do you not believe in the words of the promise?
Just like how Israel’s Solomon at the Old Testament Era worshiped gentile gods (1Kgs 11), the Christians in Korea worshiped the emperor of Japan during the era of Japanese colonization. And as pointed out in the 7th Forum by the Korean Christian Media Association (April, 2008), Christian denominations, majority of them Presbyterians, were brought together to support the change in Korean constitution to extend the repeated presidency of the Korean president at the time (year 1969). From this gathering emerged the Christian Council of Korea (year 1989).
Also, the Stewardship Education Institute that was established around the Presbyterian denomination (year 1980), controlled the Christian churches in Korea with the political power from the world. And now, the CCK, because of money and authority issues, is divided into twos and threes, calling each other a cult, are they not? Like the First Coming, they claim that they are orthodoxy, and they will call anyone who do not belong to them a cult.
What they teach is not the Bible. They combined the Bible with what they have brainstormed to form commentaries. This is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, the maddening wine of adulteries, the venom of serpents, and the poison of cobras (refer to Mt 13; Rv 17, 18)
Because this is the reality, we must be born again. If one is not reborn by God’s seed and God’s spirit, he/she cannot go to heaven. You know that this world is sown with two types of seeds (Mt 13), and you will be able to tell who is born by which seed by their actions, their fruit. Can they call themselves people belonging to God? Look at the 12 tribes of heaven. Are they not different from them?
Come. This is heaven. God is here.

Religion and Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven
Religion and Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven
Main reference: Mt 13:11; Rv 1 ~ 22
What is religion, and what are the secrets of the kingdom of heaven?
Religion is the teaching of God the Creator (Holy Spirit) given to the people (flesh), and the secrets of the kingdom of heaven are the secrets regarding God and God’s kingdom.
The words, “secrets,” or, “mysteries,” appear 38 times in the Bible (38 chapters showing that terms, 46 verses showing that terms). I will explain a few that stand out among these.
God said in Psalm 78:2, ‘I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things from of old, to be told to the next generations.’ This prophecy was fulfilled at the First Coming as it says in Mt 13:34-35, ‘Jesus did not say anything to the crowd without using a parable,’ and it also says in Mt 13:11 that the seed is the secret of the kingdom of heaven. It is said in Revelation 1 that the seven stars and the seven golden lampstands are a mystery, and in Revelation 10:7, the sound of the last trumpet of the seventh angel is a mystery, and it says in Revelation 17 that the prostitute and the beast with seven heads and ten horns is a mystery.
2,000 years ago, Jesus’ disciples heard the words, ‘the seed is the secret of heaven,’ described in Mt 13:11, and it was only John who heard the three mysteries of Revelation. There is no one other than John who knows the mysteries of Revelation, and the three mysteries are the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior who appear at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment. In order to know these three entities, one must meet John who heard and saw them.
But what John saw and recorded was vision-revelation that was to be fulfilled; this was a prophecy. When this prophecy is fulfilled in physical fulfillment, there is a promised pastor who sees, hears, and testifies to the New Testament prophecies’ fulfillment, just as Jesus testified to the Old Testament prophecies’ fulfillment at the First Coming. At this time of fulfillment, it is not John who spoke the prophecies but a new John, who is a pastor in the same position as John, who sees, hears, knows, and testifies the physical fulfillment, meaning, the physical entities of the mysteries.
It is only the New John who saw and heard the mysteries of the actual entities of the fulfillment of the prophecies. Therefore, in order to know these mysteries, one must meet the New John who saw and heard the physical fulfillment of today. However, people do not consider this important because they do not care much about Revelation. But if one does not know the entities of the three mysteries, he cannot be saved. Why is it that the believers do not care about the tree of good and evil and the tree of life, the words regarding the time of the end, prophecies, and heaven and hell, and why do they not care about the entities of the three mysteries, who are the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior? It is because they have become corrupt; they became rebellious people.
The people of Adam’s world were this way at the time of Noah, and the Israelites at the time of Jesus’ First Coming were this way. They became old, decreased, and corrupt. This is the evidence that such people only say with their mouths, “Lord, Lord,” but their hearts do not care for faith, the knowledge of the Bible, or the Word. God came to Jesus at the First Coming and fulfilled the Old Testament (Jn 19:30). Jesus was the one who spoke on behalf of God (Jn 14:10, 1 Jn 2:1), and he was sent to the rebellious people of Israel (Mt 15:24). However, people considered Jesus to be a heretic and treated him like Satan, and did not believe him.
Just like that, today, Jesus fulfilled the Revelation that he promised, and sent the One Who Overcomes (the New John) to the churches as the messenger who speaks on his behalf, and had him testify to what he has seen and heard (Rv 22:16). However, the people of today did not accept him just like the time of the First Coming. Why did this happen? It is because all nations are the world of Satan, and they have been tainted by Satan. The messenger who was sent and Jesus are going through all kinds of suffering to save the people who became captives of the kingdom of destruction, and are doing all that they can to do the work of salvation to bring them out (Rv 17:14, Rv 18:4).
Today is the time to capture the dragon, Satan, in the Abyss, and to greet the era of the millennium. Those who believe this will become people who participate in the First Resurrection and enter the city of the thousand years, which is the holy city (Rv 20:1-6). Those who do not believe will be outside the holy city (Rv 22:8).
A thousand years later, Satan will be set free from the Abyss for a short time and will deceive Gog and Magog, who are the people outside the city, and this group of Satan will go against God and surround the city of the thousand years. Fire will come down from heaven and devour them, and the devil will be thrown in the lake of burning sulfur, and partake in the second death (Rv 20:7-10).
Today, the new era of God’s rule has come after 6,000 years of Satan’s rule came to its end. This is the fulfillment of the New Testament which was promised with blood (Lk 22:14-20; Heb 8:10; Rv 1:5-6). One who does not believe in this new covenant will die and end up in hell, and the one who believes and keeps the new covenant will go to heaven and receive eternal life. This is the new covenant.
All the prophets on earth also made what is fulfilled today. The most detailed and certain of the prophecies is the promise of the New Testament’s Revelation. The mystery of religion is the New Testament’s Revelation, and the mysteries that Revelation speak of are the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior that make known, “Who betrayed, who destroyed whom, and who saved whom.” These are the mysteries at the time when an era comes to an end.
One who sees, hears, and knows is only one person, the Promised Pastor (the New John). It is a blessing to meet him, and to believe in him is salvation. God and heaven come to this one person (Rv 3:12), and he is the one who has been promised (pastor). He is the one referred to in Revelation chapters 2, 3, 12, and 15.
At this time, the world is the night, and the Promised Pastor is the day and the light. This light is life. The night is the people who are dead and the darkness; they are those who claim to be alive, but are dead. How can a living person and a dead person be the same? God is the God of the living (Mt 22:32, Lk 20:38).
This earth becomes restored for the first time in 6,000 years. God, who is the owner, rules the restored world. This is what religion teaches to believe. This is the secret of the heavens, and the promised salvation and heaven.
Amen!

Fire will come down from heaven and devour them, and the devil will be thrown in the lake of burning sulfur, and partake in the second death (Rv 20:7-10).
Today, the new era of God’s rule has come after 6,000 years of Satan’s rule came to its end. This is the fulfillment of the New Testament which was promised with blood (Lk 22:14-20; Heb 8:10; Rv 1:5-6). One who does not believe in this new covenant will die and end up in hell, and the one who believes and keeps the new covenant will go to heaven and receive eternal life. This is the new covenant.
All the prophets on earth also made what is fulfilled today. The most detailed and certain of the prophecies is the promise of the New Testament’s Revelation. The mystery of religion is the New Testament’s Revelation, and the mysteries that Revelation speak of are the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior that make known, “Who betrayed, who destroyed whom, and who saved whom.” These are the mysteries at the time when an era comes to an end.
One who sees, hears, and knows is only one person, the Promised Pastor (the New John). It is a blessing to meet him, and to believe in him is salvation. God and heaven come to this one person (Rv 3:12), and he is the one who has been promised (pastor). He is the one referred to in Revelation chapters 2, 3, 12, and 15.
At this time, the world is the night, and the Promised Pastor is the day and the light. This light is life. The night is the people who are dead and the darkness; they are those who claim to be alive, but are dead. How can a living person and a dead person be the same? God is the God of the living (Mt 22:32, Lk 20:38).
This earth becomes restored for the first time in 6,000 years. God, who is the owner, rules the restored world. This is what religion teaches to believe. This is the secret of the heavens, and the promised salvation and heaven.
Amen!

Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell
Main references: Mt 13, 23
The words “heaven” and “hell” mostly appear in the New Testament Bible. “Heaven” appears 37 times (37 verses containing that term, in 18 chapters), and “hell” appears in 13 places (13 verses containing that term, in 8 chapters).
How are heaven and hell different from each other?
Heaven is where God the Creator is; it is a paradise where there is no death and pain (Rv 21:3-4). Hell is the fiery lake of sulfur; it is a where the eternal punishment of sin is given (Rv 19:20, 20:10, 21:8).
This judgment takes place according to Jesus’ words recorded in Jn 12:48, and according to Rv 20:12. Judgment takes place according to what people had done as recorded in the books (the Bible). From this judgment, those who kept the Lord’s commands go to heaven, and the sinners who did not keep the commands (covenant) enter the fire of hell.
Every man is born with the gene of the transgressor Adam (born with sin), and there are the original sin, the hereditary sins, and the personal sins. The law of Moses required atonement sacrifices with lambs’ blood in order to rid sin, but this could not make sin disappear (Heb 10).
God had Jesus bleed on the cross so that the people can receive atonement of sin through Jesus’ blood instead of that of the lambs. In order to go to heaven, one must first receive the atonement of sin through Jesus’ blood; second, one must be born again with God’s seed and His spirit, and third, he must be harvested and be sealed. These are God’s commands, and the Bible is the promise of God.
If these things are not fulfilled in one's life, he will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
▶ Analysis regarding heaven
Where Apostle John went up to and saw in Rv 4 was heaven in the spiritual world. It says that this heaven will come to the one who overcomes on earth (Rv 3:12).
The time this heaven comes down to the earth is the time of the creation of the new heaven and the new earth, which comes after the first heaven, the first earth, and the sea disappear; it says that the holy city (heaven) will come down to this new heaven and new earth (Rv 21).
It says in Mt 6:10, "God’s will is to be fulfilled on earth, as it is in heaven.” This is the heaven in the spiritual world, and what is fulfilled on earth is the heaven in the physical world. This is like how Moses saw what was in heaven and built it on earth (refer to Ex 25). When the spiritual world comes down to the physical world and becomes one with it, it is like how a bridegroom and meets the bride, and lives together (refer to Rv 21:9-11).
The spiritual world and the physical world were one when God created the heavens and the earth (refer to Gn 1:26-27), but the heaven of the spiritual world left because Adam sinned and became a sinner.
Jesus forgives such sins of men through his blood, and God of the spiritual world returns to be one with them; this is heaven where the spirit and the flesh become one.
Jesus said, “the kingdom of heaven is near (Mt 4:17),” at the First Coming, and he said in Mt 13 that he was “heaven” (verse: 24, 37). He also explained many times what the kingdom of heaven is like. “The kingdom of heaven that is near” came to Jesus, and God in heaven also came to Jesus. Although heaven and God could not be seen with physical eyes, they were with Jesus.
▶ Analysis on hell
Hell is the fiery lake of sulfur; it is the place where the devil, the beast, and the false prophet are tormented day and night for ever and ever. This is also called, “the Abyss (Rv 20:1-3)”, and this is hell, the lake of fire into where even death and Hades are thrown. To describe it simply, it is the lake of fire where the spirit and the flesh are tormented. This is where the devil and the sinners who did not receive the atonement of sin go to.
Jesus said it is better to go to heaven with just one eye, with one arm, and one leg, rather than having the whole body thrown into the fire of hell (Mt 18:8-9).
Hell is where the devil is, and heaven is where God is. If the Israelite pastors at the First Coming, today’s pastors in Korea, and Shincheonji (the pastors and the congregation members) are put on scales, who will go to heaven and who will go to hell? Jesus said that the trees can be recognized by their fruits (Mt 7:16-20). Their actions will testify about themselves.
(refer to Mt 19:28) Jesus, today’s One Who Overcomes, and the 12 disciples (Jesus’ 12 disciples, the 12 tribe leaders) are the ones who judge the churches with Calvinist doctrine, those who belong to worldly politics, and those in Stewardship Education Center who came to money and power. There is no one else who was given the authority to judge; this is what the Bible says.
What is sin? Sin is to not believe (refer to Jn 16:9). Believe in what? Jesus and the words of promise Jesus spoke. Why do they not believe in the pastor who came as promised? Why do they not believe in the prophecies and their fulfillment? It is because they have much of the devil’s ingredient, sin. How could the devil believe in God and His Word?
As God, Jesus, and the One Who Overcomes appear in Korea, will people stay quiet? Isn't it a fact that the devil’s army will cause a fuss? But the place where God came to, the place where God’s Word is fulfilled is truly a blessed place.
In the past, and now, people claim that they carry on their lives of faith. However, believers who are with the devil that appears at the time of the promise, become even more evil than the non-believers. They do the actions of the devil because the devil is with them. At this time, the believers whom God is with receive persecution more than any other time. However, their prize is heaven; this is what the Bible says (refer to Mt 5:10-12).
Of course, both the devil and God choose people who closely resemble their own characters, and they fulfill their purposes with their chosen ones. God fulfills the prophecies He had promised, and the devil obstructs what God fulfills. The reason the devil obstructs is that when God’s prophecies are fulfilled, God, whom it had been denying, is acknowledged. God is acknowledged as the true God when His promises are fulfilled, and that is when God’s purpose is fulfilled.
One who believes in God believes in Him for two, three reasons. One reason is that God is the Father who created him. Another reason is that heaven will be fulfilled on him. Another reason is that he does not desire to be in hell’s fire with the devil.
And there are three things that a believer must know. One is that he must know God. Another is that he must know the devil, and another is to know the words of promise and His kingdom.
A true believer must know himself in front of the Bible. If one still has not been born from the heavens, does not know the will of the heavens, and does not know God’s promise and His will, then it is night and darkness for him. Read 1 Thessalonians 5. You can find yourself there. Many talk about lives of faith, but most have not even entered the gate to lives of faith.
The most joyful news to the believers is God, heaven, and eternal life; one must find this kingdom and the righteousness and to carry on his life of faith. If he has not found it, then he is still lost; but the one who has found it, has arrived at the destination. There is a beginning and an end to life of faith. The result (the end) is the kingdom of heaven, the world of peace. And he becomes the family of the heavens.

Faith, Persecution, and Testing
Faith, Persecution, and Testing
Main reference: Rv 3:10
There has been persecution and testing for those who believe in God and the Word. Why do persecution and testing come to those who believe? It is because Adam lost to the devil’s testing, and as a result, the world became the world of the devil. Because it is the devil’s world, whoever believes in God gets persecuted and tested.
God tested Abraham (Gn 22:1-13). God allowed Satan to test Job (Job 1:6-12). After Jesus was carried along by the Holy Spirit, he was also tested by the devil in the desert (Mt 4:1; Lk 4:1-2). Both God and the devil test us, the believers, to see whether we truly believe in God or not. Jesus also spoke about the time of testing that will come upon the whole world at the end of the age (Rv 3:10). Just like Jesus and the twelve apostles did, true believers overcome the testing and trials.
The power that allows us to overcome the testing is the Word alone. Samson had power, but neither Samson nor Solomon were able to overcome the testing, even through Solomon had wisdom, authority, riches, and honor (1 Kgs 11:4-13). Only the word of God allows us to overcome; it was also through the Word that Jesus overcame the devil’s testing (Mt 4:8-11).
Mt 4:8-11 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. * “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” *Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’” *Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
True believers do not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God (Dt 8:3; Mt 4:4). They remain the same in the times of God’s testing, and they worship no one except God. It is not the devil who created all things in heaven, earth, and people, but God created all things and people; the devil was actually one of the creatures of God. Since Adam’s fall, anyone born of his genes have heaven and hell laid in front of him. Now it is a matter of who will go to heaven and who will go to hell. This will be determined at the time of judgment, according to the people’s deeds just as recorded in the books of the Bible (Rv 20:12; Jn 12:48).
People say they believe in God and Jesus. What is the proof of their belief? To believe in God and Jesus means to believe in the Word because the Word is God (Jn 1:1). It is in the Word that God made Himself, the path of life, known; this is His command. If there is no word, there is no God. If there is the Word, then there is God as well.
To act according to the meaning and purpose of the Word is to believe in God. It is those who act upon the purpose of the Word that can go to heaven (Mt 7:21-27). If anyone says that he cannot believe in God and Jesus because of bread [physical needs] and persecution, then his own word serves as proof that he is not a believer. In John 6, those who followed Jesus for the sake of physical bread left him. However, those who followed Jesus because of the word of eternal life reached the point where they were even martyred.
There was a rich man and a man named Lazarus; they both died. The rich man ended up in hell, and Lazarus went to heaven. The one who went to hell begged, saying, “Send Lazarus to my father’s house. Let him warn them so that they will not also come to this place of torment [hell].” Having heard this, God responded to him, “There are already people who can preach (Moses and the Prophets), If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced, even if someone rises from the dead.” This portrays the reality of the present world. If people do not believe when the word of God is preached to them, will they be able to believe when a mere man speaks? For those who truly believe, there will not be a case of disbelief because of bread or persecution. God gave sinners His own son. His son, Jesus, became a ransom for sinners and laid down his life. They made every effort possible to save sinners, asking people to believe. But if people refuse to believe, then will they have an excuse even if they are thrown into the fire of hell? If they do not want to hear and believe in the words of someone (the promised pastor), who has come as a messenger of Jesus, will they be able to believe even if Jesus comes back? Under the pretext of religion and Jesus, some people are eager to possess money and authority. They pretend to believe in Jesus on the outside, but on the inside there is full of wickedness and venom. This is the reality of the present religious world. If one does not believe in God’s word, how can he even believe in man’s word?
As a messenger of Jesus, I (the promised pastor) did not speak my own words, but have only conveyed the word of Jesus. Today pastors, churches, and congregation members are all coming to an end; this is what the prophecy in the New Testament speaks about. God does not acknowledge the previous world, But the only world He acknowledges is the promised kingdom, the twelve tribes, in the book of Revelation. This is the prophecy and promise. In Noah’s time, no one was acknowledged by God except the eight family members of Noah. Similarly, during the time of Jesus’ First Coming, no one was acknowledged by God except for people who belonged to Jesus and the twelve disciples. If one has the revealed word and faith in it, he will be able to overcome persecution and testing. For him, they are not big problems. Tortures, jeers, flogging, being chained and put in prison, stoned, sawed in two, put to death by the sword, destitute, persecuted, mistreated, wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and holes in the ground—people were able to overcome all of these through faith (Heb 11:35-40). Even if persecution and testing follow those who believe, the Lord has already given them abilities to conquer them. We do not regret even sacrificing our own bodies. Instead, we will receive a new thing, inherit the kingdom of heaven, and live with the Lord for eternity. This is a true life of faith.

Faith in Each Era and the Level of Its Culture
Faith in Each Era and the Level of Its Culture
Main references: Mt 24:45; Gal 3:23-28; 1 Cor 13:9-12
The Bible encompasses about 6,000 years of biblical history since Adam’s time. In this 6,000 years of history, there were the eras of Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus’ first coming, and the era of Jesus’ return.
Whether it is culture in terms of a physical or spiritual sense, which of these eras is civilized with culture? In the sense of both world history and religion, today’s culture of heaven is the highest. There is, however, one thing that remains the same in the past and present time: it is the aspect of people’s life of faith, which is their faith and knowledge (refer to Hos 4:6). Believers during the first coming of Jesus did not know the meaning of the Old Testament prophecies. Likewise, today’s believers at the time of the second coming do not know the meaning of the New Testament prophecies (refer to Is 29:9-13; Jn 1:11; Rv 5:2-4).
Those who claimed to believe in the Old Testament (the promise of God) at the first coming refused to believe when the physical fulfillment of the Old Testament (Jesus and the work he fulfilled) appeared. They opposed Jesus by calling him a heretic, even crucifying him. In the same way, people claim to believe in the New Testament (the promise of Jesus), but they are refusing to believe in the fulfillment of the New Testament (the one who overcomes and the fulfilled work), although it has appeared. They, just as in the past times, are going against the one who overcomes, labeling him as a heretic and attempting to kill him. This is the same aspect of the life of faith that the believers between the past and present times share.
The Law of Moses at Jesus’ first coming was a tutor (kindergarten teacher) that led people to Christ (Gal 3:23-24). It was proclaimed until the time of the faith in Jesus’ gospel of heaven, which was the faith that should be revealed.
The faith that should be revealed at Jesus’ first coming was the faith in the fulfillment of the Old Testament. This revelation was the revelation mentioned in Ezekiel 3. This revelation was the new work, the new covenant, and the two types of seed in Jeremiah 31. One of these two types of seed was the seed of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven that Jesus sowed (Mt 13:24, 31). This work of sowing the seed was the new work. The work of harvest that will take place at the second coming was the new covenant. The accomplishment of this new covenant is the fulfillment of the book of Revelation. The objective of the New Testament is the creation of the twelve tribes at the time of the fulfillment of Revelation in the New Testament. These twelve tribes are God’s promise and the promise of the Bible for the last 6,000 years.
If the Law of Moses served as a tutor for the faith (the Old Testament) that should be revealed, the new covenant during Jesus’ first coming, which is the New Testament prophecy, also serves as a tutor that leads people to Christ at the second coming. We have been locked up under the supervision of the new covenant and the prophecy until the faith in the New Testament (Revelation) should be revealed. We, however, will no longer be under the covenant when the revealed faith comes. At the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, we will not be with the elementary and partial teachings, but we will be able to go on to maturity.
At the first coming, Jesus spoke about future events in parables. He had many things to say, but did not say everything (Mt 13:34-35; Jn 16:12). The spirit of truth, the Counselor who comes in the name of Jesus today, allows us to know everything about the fulfillment of the New Testament (Jn 14:26). Thus, it will be the greatest gospel and truth in the history of mankind.
Ever since Adam’s time, God planned what he would fulfill, and has been fulfilling it step by step. His fulfillment was the events that took place in each era; as a matter of fact, all of this work happened for the sake of today, the time of Revelation. Today, accepting the faith that is revealed is such a blessing. The greatest blessing in the history of mankind that allows one to attain and enjoy eternal life and heaven has finally come true today, the dream that mankind has had for the last 6,000 years. There is no higher truth nor greater blessing than this. Because of this, we will be eternally thankful, thankful to God and Jesus.
Amen!

The Bible encompasses about 6,000 years of biblical history since Adam’s time. In this 6,000 years of history, there were the eras of Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus’ first coming, and the era of Jesus’ return.
Whether it is culture in terms of a physical or spiritual sense, which of these eras is civilized with culture? In the sense of both world history and religion, today’s culture of heaven is the highest. There is, however, one thing that remains the same in the past and present time: it is the aspect of people’s life of faith, which is their faith and knowledge (refer to Hos 4:6). Believers during the first coming of Jesus did not know the meaning of the Old Testament prophecies. Likewise, today’s believers at the time of the second coming do not know the meaning of the New Testament prophecies (refer to Is 29:9-13; Jn 1:11; Rv 5:2-4).
Those who claimed to believe in the Old Testament (the promise of God) at the first coming refused to believe when the physical fulfillment of the Old Testament (Jesus and the work he fulfilled) appeared. They opposed Jesus by calling him a heretic, even crucifying him. In the same way, people claim to believe in the New Testament (the promise of Jesus), but they are refusing to believe in the fulfillment of the New Testament (the one who overcomes and the fulfilled work), although it has appeared. They, just as in the past times, are going against the one who overcomes, labeling him as a heretic and attempting to kill him. This is the same aspect of the life of faith that the believers between the past and present times share.
The Law of Moses at Jesus’ first coming was a tutor (kindergarten teacher) that led people to Christ (Gal 3:23-24). It was proclaimed until the time of the faith in Jesus’ gospel of heaven, which was the faith that should be revealed.
The faith that should be revealed at Jesus’ first coming was the faith in the fulfillment of the Old Testament. This revelation was the revelation mentioned in Ezekiel 3. This revelation was the new work, the new covenant, and the two types of seed in Jeremiah 31. One of these two types of seed was the seed of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven that Jesus sowed (Mt 13:24, 31). This work of sowing the seed was the new work. The work of harvest that will take place at the second coming was the new covenant. The accomplishment of this new covenant is the fulfillment of the book of Revelation. The objective of the New Testament is the creation of the twelve tribes at the time of the fulfillment of Revelation in the New Testament.

We have been locked up under the supervision of the new covenant and the prophecy until the faith in the New Testament (Revelation) should be revealed. We, however, will no longer be under the covenant when the revealed faith comes. At the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, we will not be with the elementary and partial teachings, but we will be able to go on to maturity.

Ringing Out the Old and Ringing In the New: the Old Era and the New Era
Ringing Out the Old and Ringing In the New: the Old Era and the New Era
Main reference: Rv 21
Why do old eras and new eras exist?
When an era that was once created becomes old and corrupt, it is destroyed, and a new era is created. This is called in Korean, “Song-gu-yung-shin (송구영신),” which also holds the meaning, “ringing out the old and ringing in the new.” “Song-gu-yung-shin” does not simply refer to the passing of yesterday and the coming of today.
Let us take a look at the process of creation and recreation of the heaven and earth in the 6,000 years of God’s work as shown in the Bible.
The steps of creation and re-creation are:
1. Creation,
2. Covenant,
3. Corruption and betrayal,
4. New Pastor,
5. Judgment,
6. Salvation,
7. Re-creation,
8. New Covenant.
Celestial mechanics, a branch in astronomy, understands the period of re-creation in terms of the cycle of the universe. They say that the universe completed its cycle in the year 1984. After orbiting a full cycle, the universe returns to its original position to begin a new cycle again. This position marks both the beginning and the end of a cycle. In other words, 1984 is the year when a new cycle began from the place the previous cycle ended. Thus, starting again from the same place it started before is like “ringing out the old and ringing in the new.”
When the sexagenarian cycle (a cycle of 60 years) occurs 100 times, the total number of years is 6,000.
The creation of the heaven and earth that began at the time of Adam turns into recreation in Revelation chapter 21 (refer to Rv 21:6). For the first time in 6,000 years, the favorable season of ringing out the old and ringing in the new finally comes. The 6,000 years of lineage and the events that occurred are recorded in detail in the 66 books of the Bible, the book of God.
Let us take a look at the old eras and the new eras in the past 6,000 years. Let us also not forget that there was a new person who appeared in each new era.
1) Adam’s world betrayed and became corrupt. Because this earth was filled with corruption, in Genesis 6, God appointed Noah, Adam’s 9th descendant, and destroyed Adam’s world with a flood.
2) Like the snake at the time of Adam, Ham, Noah’s second son, revealed Noah’s nakedness. Thus, Noah’s world was also cursed down to Ham’s son, Canaan.
3) After this, God went to Abraham, Noah’s 10th descendant, and made known the future events. Then, God went to Moses, a descendant of Israel in Egypt. Through him, He led the descendants of Israel out of Egypt to the land of Canaan.
At this time, ten out of the twelve tribe leaders of Israel whom Moses guided did not believe God; with the exception of Joshua and Caleb, they disobeyed (Nm 13:6, 8, 16). As a result, God had Moses and the Israelites who sided with the ten tribe leaders (the first generation: over 20 years of age) die in the desert (Nm 32:10-13). God appointed Joshua to lead the second generation, the descendants of those who came out of Egypt, into Canaan. Just as He promised, God destroyed the Canaanites and told the Israelites to live by keeping His covenant (Ex 19:5-6).
4) After this, Israel received destruction, because King Solomon broke the covenant that God established with the Israelites at the time of Moses (Ex 19:5-6; 1 Kgs 11). Just as God made known to Abraham the events that He will fulfill at the time of Moses, God prophesied again through the Old Testament prophets, making known what will be fulfilled in the future. This promise was the Old Testament. After this, God came to Jesus as promised and fulfilled the Old Testament.
5) God, who fulfilled the Old Testament, promised future events through Jesus—the New Testament. It is written that the New Testament is fulfilled at the appointed time, the Lord’s Second Coming.
After his ascension, Jesus made known through his disciple, John, the revelation that will be fulfilled (the Book of Revelation). Most of the content of Revelation is written in parables; it is a sealed scroll that no one in heaven or under heaven can open or look inside (Rv 5:1-4). However, no one should add to or subtract from Revelation (Rv 22:18-19).
What will fulfill at the time of Revelation? It is a huge event that will affect all believers on earth. It is an event the believers cannot be complacent about. However, there is no one who knows neither the meaning of the content nor the date of its fulfillment until the time it is fulfilled. Anyone who claims to know and anyone who creates their own commentaries act in wickedness. The content of their commentaries is false, and those who speak falsehood (liars) plant the seed of wickedness. In other words, they are the pastors of the devil.
It is written that there is no one in heaven or under heaven who can open or look inside this scroll that is sealed with parables(Rv 5:1-3). If someone claims to know it, that very statement is a lie, because the only one who truly knows is the one who saw the fulfillment of all the events of Revelation.
In God’s scroll (the scroll sealed with 7 seals) are the betrayers, those who destroy, and the one who saves. The betrayers are Spiritual Israel, the people who do not believe in the new covenant but believe in the lies and the doctrines of Satan (commentaries).
The destroyers are those who deceive and destroy the chosen people (Spiritual Israel) with the doctrines of Satan (the wine of adulteries).
The savior is the one who liberates the people who became captives of the gentile destroyers due to their betrayal and gives them life by feeding them the bread of life. In order to achieve this, he must first fight and overcome the enemy (Rv 12:10-11) and help the believers cross over from death to life (refer to Rv 17:14, Rv 18:4). At this time, the one who accepts the manna of life, meaning, and the revealed word as clear as crystal will come out to the resurrection of life, whereas the one who does not believe will be judged (refer to Jn 5:28-29 NKJV).
Jesus takes the sealed scroll and opens the seals; he fulfills the prophecies recorded in the scroll (refer to Rv 5, 6, 8). He sends his messenger to speak on his behalf and testify to what has been fulfilled (Rv 22:16). The one who believes in this testimony receives the resurrection of life.
Such era is the “favorable season of ringing out the old and ringing in the new year” (송구영신 호시절: Song-gu-yeong-shin Ho-shi-jul), and “the destiny of the new heaven” (신천운세: Shin-chun-oon-seh). The new era of the fulfillment of promise has come as the era of prophecy comes to its end. It can be said that those who do not know this are darkness and non-believers born with the seed of Satan and possessing his characteristics. Blessed are those who perceive and believe this and become the people of heaven in the new era.
Since the time of Adam, the eras that became corrupt in every generation met their ends, and new eras with new pastors always came after. However, the era of the Lord’s Second Coming when Revelation is fulfilled is different than the previous eras, because it marks a start and an end at a universal scale. It is the grand beginning of a completely new creation. It is the time when the deceiving devil is finally captured and thrown into the Abyss. This new era comes for the first time in 6,000 years, and it is the world of eternal heaven made of the family born with God’s seed. This heaven is the world of peace where God reigns.
Just as one puts off old clothes and puts on the new, the sons born with God’s seed will live in God’s image and likeness. They will put off their old selves that were like old clothes for their flesh. Their inner-persons will put on new clothes. The new set of clothes is the holy spirit. This is change, a change into a new creation.
We must remember the words in Genesis 6, ‘The sons of God loved the daughters of the earth, and they became flesh (NKJV).” One who is reborn with water and the holy spirit (Jn 3:5-6) is a god who received the Word (Jn 10:35), an offspring of God (Acts 17:29). This is the family of God. The era of the new heaven, the favorable season of ringing out the old and ringing in the new year, is the era where the spirit is united with the body.
Amen!
