The Pastors of Jerusalem, the Twelve Disciples of Jesus, and the Promised Twelve Tribe Leaders of Today in Revelation

The Pastors of Jerusalem, the Twelve Disciples of Jesus, and the Promised Twelve Tribe Leaders of Today in Revelation


Main references: Is 1, Mt 19:27-28, Rv 7


How are the pastors of Jerusalem, the twelve disciples of Jesus, and the promised twelve tribe leaders of today in Revelation different from each other?

The pastors of Jerusalem during the First Coming were like the pastors who betrayed in Isaiah 1. However, Jesus’ twelve disciples weren’t pastors but fishermen, tax collectors, and, the lowliest of men.

What is today’s time of Revelation like?

From those who were harvested and sealed, twelve were chosen to be the twelve tribe leaders. This is according to the promise written in the New Testament (refer to Mt 19:27-28, Rv 7). They are the leaders of the twelve tribes, which are named after the twelve disciples of Jesus.

Just like how God is the Word from the beginning (Jn 1:1), His son, Jesus, is also the Word from the beginning (1 Jn 1:1-2). Jesus is the Word from the beginning because God, who is the Word in the beginning, was with him. But as it is stated in Luke 13:28-29, the start of today’s era is different from the First Coming. And this is to fulfill all perfection.

The betrayers of Judah and Jerusalem in Isaiah 1 were revealed (prophesied) to be the pastors of Jerusalem and the Jews during Jesus’ first coming. They had not realized this about themselves, but only thought they were the greatest chosen people of God.  Jerusalem and Judah betrayed the covenant made with God (Ex 19:5-6) during Moses’ era and as a result of worshipping gentile gods during Solomon’s era (1 Kgs 11), they were divided into the kingdom of Israel in the north (eleven tribes) and the kingdom of Judah in the south (one tribe). The eleven tribes of Israel were the first to be destroyed by the gentiles and the remaining one tribe (tribe of Judah) also betrayed God and eventually became a part of the gentiles (Is 1).

Like this, the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) is divided into two because of money, authority, and fame. They accuse each other of heresy, persecute, and proclaim war. Because of this, the CCK is losing church members rapidly, which is showing the process of how the obsolete and corrupt pass away. However, despite the curses, insults, and persecutions from the CCK, New Heaven and New Earth (Shincheonji) is rapidly growing everyday. This shows that the Word is being fulfilled as promised.  This is victory, God’s victory.

 Let’s examine the differences in Biblical knowledge among the three types of Israels. The Biblical knowledge of Physical Israel was the Five Books of Moses and the Law. Spiritual Israel, Jesus’ disciples, knew about the things hidden since the ancient times in parables, the prophecy of the New Testament in parables, and the fulfillment of the Old Testament.

What is the Biblical knowledge of New Spiritual Israel today? We know the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments and their fulfillment, and the physical entities of the parables. At the First Coming, Jesus revealed things hidden since ancient times through parables. At that time, the prophecy of the New Testament was spoken figuratively, not plainly. But it is clearly revealed today in the time of the New Spiritual Israel. Today, the time of Revelation, is God’s final work. This is the most important era when He reveals and fulfills what has been hidden for 6,000 years. This is also when the dragon, that has ruled the world for 6000 years, is seized and locked up, and the era of God’s reign begins.  Therefore, the Biblical knowledge of this time is unparalleled, and it is the greatest truth of mankind. The twelve tribe leaders of this time possess and testify to this greatest truth.

Therefore, out of the three eras—the era of Jacob, Jesus’ first coming, and Jesus’ second coming—today, the time of the Second Coming, is the era of the greatest truth.    
               
This is the time when God’s new kingdom and His new people are born. Will the sins of those who interfere be insignificant? After Adam’s sin, for 6,000 years God has never forgotten about the world and the people He created. He worked and fulfilled without resting to undo this.  However, restoration of life was difficult because people received the spirit of Satan and his will instead of God’s word. However, with the blood Jesus shed in obedience to God’s will, people's hearts were changed and Satan, the dragon, was captured. Jesus and his disciples worked for 2,000 years to spread this news all over the world and by spreading the Word all over the world, the promise in the New Testament was fulfilled. With the blood of Jesus, Satan is captured and locked up and people are freed from their sins (Rv 1:5-6). This is the new covenant, the New Testament, and today’s fulfillment.

This is why we need to believe in God and the Bible. The world of mankind needs to head towards its salvation, not its destruction. For this to happen, we, first need to know the promised pastor and the fulfillment Jesus promised in the New Testament. This is the way to salvation.
