God’s New Kingdom, the World of Peace
Main reference: Is 52:7 (Lk 2:14, 19:38-44, Rv 19:6)
When and where will the world of peace be fulfilled according to the promise of God in the Old and New Testament?
It was at the time of Jesus as written in Lk 2:14 that the word of peace prophesied at Is 52:7 came true. At that time when the Lord of peace and Jesus were not accepted by the Jews, in Lk 19:38-44 Jesus saw the city of Jerusalem, wept over it and said “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you." Today is that day, and it is the time of the end. How could this generation who are not circumcised on their hearts know this?
I came to this world to proclaim peace as Jesus did; Jesus has sent his advocate to the churches (refer to Rv 22:16). Today there are the works that Jesus must do, and the works that the advocate chosen and sent by Jesus can do. One is to make known what has been fulfilled to the churches and another is to create a world of peace. Then, God of peace will come here and reign over the world (Rv 19:6).
God created this world as paradise and a world of peace. However, one of His creations (creatures) betrayed Him, became an archenemy god and confronted His work. God referred to this arch enemy god as ‘dragon, Satan, the devil and serpent’ (Rv 12:9, 20:2). God has been waging war against the dragon for 6,000 years on this earth. Since the war began, there has been no peace in His kingdom, but there were only afflictions, agony and death.
To this world, Jesus came as the king of peace, but the chosen people of Israel did not accept him but instead persecuted and killed him. Because of this sin, the sun, moon and stars became darkened and fell from the sky, and Jesus prophesied that not one stone here would be left on another, and everyone would be thrown down (Mt 24:1-2, 29). This prophecy of the New Testament has come true today, and so will the churches and their congregations meet their doom (refer to Mt 13, 24).
Meanwhile, God and Jesus promised to end one era and to create a new era. This new era is the world of peace. People in the world of peace are, unlike the people in the earlier era, the ones who obey God’s promise and have faith in it, and welcome the peace.
Today, at the Second Coming, accepting the words from the messenger of peace sent by the Lord is the same as accepting the words from the Lord (refer to Rv 1:1-3), and likewise believing in the words of the messenger is believing in the Lord who sent him. With this faith, the world will become a world of peace without war.
What did the messenger of peace bring? What is his answer for peace? Are there any materials to accomplish the peace? Yes there is. It is God and Heavenly Culture.
The activities of the peace organization created by the peace advocate sent by God include seven world tours and 8 visits to the Philippines, just as the Lord has commanded.
During these works, the Peace Delegation met the presidents of each country. The former and current presidents were asked to sign that should they love their country and their people, and love peace, then they must work towards enacting an international law that would include content about cessation of war and world peace, and they willingly accepted it. They also promised to work for world peace as messengers of peace. In addition, the Delegation met the religious leaders of each country. The Delegation described peace to them, and all the religious leaders signed the peace agreement. Next, there were visits to the national broadcast stations of each country. The peace agreement signed by the presidents and religious leaders from each country was broadcast and known to the people all over the world.
In September 2013, the archbishop from Mindanao Island came to Manila and asked the messenger of peace to help stop the religious dispute, which had been breaking out on the island. At that time it was impossible for the Peace Delegation to go to the Mindanao because of the event set previously in Thailand. The fact that I could not accept the archbishop’s request continued to lay heavily on my mind.
In the meantime, in 2014, the graduation ceremony was supposed take place for the Filipino pastors having learned the words, so I made a proposal to the archbishop (of the Catholic church) and the Islamic representative about a meeting for a peace agreement. Having sent one of the Peace Delegates to Mindanao for preparation, we arrived afterward in Philippine on 23rd Jan. 2014.
And at a convent in Manila, we met the archbishop of the Mindanao Island who asked me to play the role of a mediator to stop the religious conflicts and two other bishops (during their sojourn in Manila to participate in the Catholic conference), and attained their signs on the peace agreement beforehand.
On 24th Jan., we headed to the Mindanao Island. This island is bigger than our country in size and has around 20 million in population. At the airport, we were ardently welcomed by the crowd of youth and university students from IPYG. People were carrying flags of all nations, peace flags and Korean national flags (Taegeukgi) in their hands, and they lined up to the point of the vehicle of the Peace Advocate and it was a grand welcoming ceremony unseen in any parts of the world. The Peace Delegates participated in the Peace Walk Parade with them. We always had three policemen with us as guards.
At the grand ballroom in the hotel were convened each mayor of the city, professors and youths as well as Archbishop Capella who represented Catholics and the Islamic leader (Governor) together with the proper officials. Gathering at the convention as planned, the presider started the meeting by announcing the purpose of the meeting and the introduction session of each personnel followed.
According to the agenda outlined by the presider, the Catholic archbishop made his first remark and the Islamic representative (governor) continued in succession. And the third was the turn of the Peace Advocate. He put an emphasis on bringing an end to conflicts and coming toward a peaceful agreement.
The peace advocate was in the middle of the stage, the Islamic representative on his right, and the Catholic representative on his left. The written peace agreement prepared by the peace advocate was given to each representative so that they could sign. One was a peace agreement of two representatives (Islamic and Catholic) and the peace advocate and the other was a peace treaty agreement of the Catholic Church and Islam. The three people on the platform signed this document and received a copy afterwards. The signatures of these three people have started the work of cessation of war and world peace.
The process of signing of the peace agreement for peace was open to the audience and the presider gave an explanation about the peace treaty agreement, and everything was filmed as pictures and videos. The audience was clapping with glee and joy, dancing to the performance of the celebrated performance team creating a festive atmosphere.
This was all done by God. Since it is something man can’t do, former presidents couldn’t achieve this for 40 years, nor could 1,200,000 Filipino citizens. There was nothing but more than 120,000 victims. However, peace has arrived on the Philippine island thanks to the peace advocate. How could the peace advocate do such a great work, which is unprecedented unless God helped? A God-sent messenger did the work of peace just like Jesus did. God will rule over world when it becomes a world of peace spiritually and physically.
On the next day, January 25th, the president, professors and students of each university gathered together at the Mindanao University for the celebration and the Peace Delegation also attended. The peace advocate delivered a speech on peace for about two hours at this festival and received a plaque of appreciation for the peace work and peace lectures.
※ The Mindanao event that is mentioned in the article above has no relation to Shincheonji, but it was included with the permission of the relevant organization to make known the peace activities of the chairman of Shincheonji.
