The Difference Between the Revelations of the Old Testament and the New Testament

The Difference Between the Revelations of the Old Testament and the New Testament


Main references: Ez 3, Rv 1 ~ 22 (Is 29:9-14, Hos 12:10)


What is the difference between the revelation of the Old Testament and that of the New Testament?

The revelation of the Old Testament is about fulfilling the Old Testament, and the revelation of the New Testament is about fulfilling the New Testament. Because the fulfillments of the Old Testament and the New Testament are different from each other, these revelations are not the same either (the meaning of revelation is to reveal and to show something that was sealed). For example, the revelation of the fulfillment of the Old Testament is about sowing the seeds (Jer 31:27, Mt 13:24-25), whereas the revelation of the fulfillment of the New Testament is about harvesting the crops of those seeds and creating God’s new kingdom (Mt 13:30, Rv 14).

The Old Testament and the New Testament alike, it is God who gives the sealed scrolls to be fulfilled in the future. However, after the scrolls become open and fulfilled, the pastors who receive and testify to the scrolls are different. It was Ezekiel who received and at the scroll of the Old Testament (Ez 3), but it was Apostle John, a disciple of Jesus, who received and ate the opened scroll of the New Testament (Rv 10). The names of the people and places in the Old and the New Testament were borrowed and figuratively used for the future. God says in Hos 12:10, “I spoke to the prophets, gave them many visions and told parables through them.” God used Jeremiah and Ezekiel to speak, but when it was time to fulfill the Old Testament, He did not fulfill it through Jeremiah or Ezekiel but through Jesus. Likewise, it is recorded in the New Testament that the opened scroll was given to Apostle John, but the person at the time of fulfillment is not John, because the revelation that John saw and recorded was about today, which is approximately 2,000 years after his time. How then can John be the person who appears at the time of fulfillment? Also, what Ezekiel saw and recorded fulfilled 600 years later.  How then can Ezekiel be the person at the time of fulfillment? Hence, we must know that the Bible borrows and figuratively uses the names of people and places for the future.

We must also know the reason why He spoke of these promises using figurative words, why the prophecies are written in parables. It was to prevent Satan and the enemies from hearing and understanding them (Mt 13:13-15). The time to make these known plainly is when the promise fulfills. When this happens God comes to the pastor He had promised about, the promised pastor, and shows and explains the fulfillment that happened. The promised pastor testifes to all he sees and hears, that is, the physical entities. This is prophecy and fulfillment, and the God who has prophesied it and the promised pastor who has fulfilled it. During this time there will be people who believe this and people who do not believe.

He who believes in the prophecy and the fulfillment will receive salvation. If he believes in the prophecy but not in the fulfillment, he cannot receive salvation. Furthermore, if one does not understand the prophecy, he cannot understand the fulfillment. The Old Testament promises about the sowing of the seeds.  At the time of First Coming, Jesus came and sowed the seeds, and he promised that he would return to harvest the crops of those seeds and create a new kingdom. Can he return to harvest the crops if the seeds are not sown in the first place? Thus, there is a prophecy and fulfillment of sowing the seeds as well as a prophecy and fulfillment of harvesting the crops of those seeds.

This is why the revelation of the Old Testament and New Testament are different. If the revelations are different, then their fulfillments are different also. God made both the Old Testament and the New Testament, because He had a purpose to accomplish. The purpose of the Old and New Testaments is to end this world of sin and wickedness and establish His kingdom of righteousness where He can reign. It is to have all mankind receive the atonement for their sins, be reborn with God's seed, receive the holy spirit, and live with God in this new world. This is the conclusion.

 And it is the reason that God sowed the seed, harvested, and by sealing created a new kingdom. For this same reason, Jesus, too, bore the cross and shed his blood. He made the people to be the great multitude in white by washing their sins with his blood, and with that blood he fought and overcame Satan. And with that blood, he has freed us from our sins and purchased us to become God’s kingdom and priests. Anyone who receives the atonement for his sins with the blood of Christ and is reborn with God’s seed can become God’s family and live in heaven with Him. That is why there was the work of sowing the seed, harvesting, sealing, and creating God’s new kingdom.

Some do not believe in today’s fulfillment of the promise and interfere with the work of God, because they were deceived and have become the workers of Satan. However, the promises of the New Testament fulfilled in our lives, and we have become the true sons (children) of our Father. This is heaven, the people of heaven and the kingdom of God, that has fulfilled according to the revelation of the New Testament.

Amen.!
