Korean Christianity in History
Main reference: Mt 23:26-36
The main reference describes the real status of the pastors who have been deceived by Satan since the time of Adam. Matthew 5:11-12 makes references to the persecution occurring at the present time, as well as the persecution which happened during the first coming. In Acts 7 Stephen also spoke about the inherited traditions of murder and persecution by the false pastors who had existed from of old. Are the pastors who are busy persecuting others aware of these passages?
Having seen the cruel and barbarian acts of Roman Catholicism, Martin Luther conducted the Protestant Reformation, and through this reformation, Protestantism originated. It has been said in history, Calvin, a Protestant, seized ecclesiastical authority and murdered several saints of God. How can he be considered God’s pastor? Calvin established the Presbyterian Church (Calvin did not acknowledge Jesus Christ’s Revelation and excluded the book from the Bible). The Korean Presbyterian Church bowed down to the god of the Japanese Emperor and praised him during the time of Japanese colonization of Korea. The Korean Christians who criticized these actions were put in prison. After Korea obtained independence from Japan, some Christians who came out of prison, founded a Christian denomination called Goshin. They separated themselves from the Korean Presbyterian Church, claiming there was no salvation in the Presbyterian Church.
This Presbyterian Church (conservatives) joined forces with the politicians. During the Korean military regime, the Korean Presbyterian church supported the amendments of a Korean law (1969) so the former president at that time would be able to serve as a president three times in a row. The Korean Christian Press Association made it known in their 7th Christian Press Forum (April 2008), the Christian Council of Korea (established in 1989) was an organization based on such Presbyterian Churches which supported the amendments of the Korean law.
During a certain time it was aired the politicians, who also serve as elders of the Christian Council of Korea, were twelve leaders. Because one of the elders of the Christian Council of Korea became a Korean president, they were stiff-necked. Korean Christianity has seemed to emerge from within politics. Why did this occur? It was because they considered people, the world, and authority more importantly than God.
God left Israel because of their sin--they worshiped gentile gods during the reign of Solomon--and they ended up becoming gentiles. What of the Korean Christians bowing down to the god of the Japanese, the gentiles? Is this not sin? Instead of repenting of what they have done, they are claiming to be orthodox and labeling innocent people as heretics, just because those people refuse to be part of their organization. Is this not true? Who are the true heretics? We need to ask God. According to God's word in the Bible, those who worship and bow down to pagan gods are determined to be gentiles and heretics. Furthermore, Revelation 13, 17, and 18 clearly presents how people have made up commentaries, and how they are teaching those commentaries instead of the words in the Bible. These commentaries are assuredly different gospels (Gal 1:8-9), and the act of teaching them is equated to the act of sowing of the weeds. It is also the act of feeding people wild wine (Satan's sermons), the wine of adulteries, instead of feeding them with true wine (Jesus' sermons of the holy spirit). The commentaries are in fact, Satan's laws and doctrines. Those who regard such commentaries as orthodoxy are thought to be people who have received the spirit of Satan.
The scriptures testify, in the end times of religion (Christianity), the believers who are part of heaven and are likened unto the sun, moon, and stars (Gn 37:9-10), fall to the earth due to the destroyers (Mt 24:29; Rv 6:12-13). People who began with God's word and the holy spirit have returned to mere flesh. If this is the case, they are now part of the dust, just like Adam. This is how the believers have fallen from heaven to the earth. The number of Korean Christians, once counted as twelve million, has dramatically dropped to eight million. This dramatic decrease of the number of Christians depicts the autumn leaves falling from trees by the winds. The eight million Korean Christians have again recently been divided into two organizations --the Christian Council of Korea (the CCK) and the Communion Churches in Korea (the CCIK). These two organizations, which love money, are the ringleaders, labeling others as heretics. How ironic it is, these two organizations are now shouting at one another, saying the other is the heretic! Yes, it is true. They have been divided, and they are calling each other a heresy. On top of this, one of them is claiming the pastor of the other group is the worst heretic among all heretics. Each of the organizations is claiming to be the orthodoxy and calling each other a heresy. This, in fact, is their great tribulation. It is serving as a sign the Christian organizations are coming to an end. This is the end of the age, the end time of religion.
At one time the CCK was trying to lift up the people who were expelled from Shincheonji as some kind of special believers, and they were using those people as their own tools to insult and mock Shincheonji. Now, however, the CCK is labeling them as heretics. Is this not the game of the demons? In addition, the CCK is manipulating immature young adults to create anti-Shincheonji online cafes, and those cafes are being used as another tool to criticize and blame Shincheonji.
A true pastor would be someone who teaches and makes known the word of life to people who have a child-like heart and spirit, just as Shincheonji is doing. Only when one does this, is their action considered an action done according to God's will. Teaching people to insult and curse others is obviously the action of the devil. This is very similar to the actions of the pastors during Jesus' first coming. They bribed and used their own congregation members to speak lies in order to kill Jesus. The priests, elders, and the people of the time urged Pontius Pilate, who proclaimed the innocence of Jesus, to kill Jesus, by saying, "Let his blood be on us and our children" (Mt 27:20-26). The persecutors of this generation are just like the priests, elders, and the people during Jesus' first coming. They are conducting synonymous actions because the persecutors today are their spiritual descendants. The Bible makes it very clear, one receives salvation only by eating and drinking Jesus' flesh and blood (Jn 6), and one can receive the answers of his prayers only by praying in Jesus' name (Jn 14:13-14). There was a man who was expelled from Shincheonji, he was claiming we must eat and drink the flesh and the blood of the representative of Shincheonji, in order to attain salvation. He was also claiming we must pray in the name of the Shincheonji representative in order to receive the answers of our prayers. He was expelled due to these claims. Furthermore, he illegally deposited public church funds into his own bank account, and used it as if it were his own. He still, to this day, has not returned the money. Do you say these are acts of righteousness and orthodoxy? The CCK has appointed this man to be a righteous evangelist. It has been using him as a tool to curse Shincheonji and to conduct anti-Shincheonji seminars.
Why is the divided CCK, labeling Shincheonji as a heresy? When this question is asked, no one usually answers. People are calling Shincheonji as a heresy without any concrete reasons, just as the people did to Jesus. They seem to be doing so because their own congregation members have been going to Shincheonji, and because the number of their members is dramatically decreasing. All of creation, in heaven and on earth, are working to feed themselves and to survive. Likewise, believers have come to Shincheonji as they were looking for something to eat. They have come to Shincheonji because they were unable to find the word of life from their own churches, but have found it in Shincheonji. This is the evidence Shincheonji is not a heresy. It is clear the churches, teaching the worldly words due to the lack of the word of life, are the true heresies.
Teaching commentaries, the words of men, is like preaching different gospels (Gal 1). The commentaries are the seed of the weeds and the wine of adulteries. Those who are feeding this wine of adulteries are intensely persecuting Shincheonji, as they they did to Jesus at the first coming--just like the Pharisees and the pastors during the first coming! If one examines the hardships of the prophets and the apostles in the 6,000 years of Bible history, as well as the afflictions of Shincheonji today, one will know there are those who persecute and those who are persecuted. Life and salvation have always been with those who are persecuted, although it is a small and narrow path (Mt 5:10-12). If anyone has the knowledge of the Bible, he will look for a place which receives persecution because of righteousness.
Within the world of Korean Christianity, salvation and curses are being granted at the same time. Salvation is in Shincheonji, the new promised kingdom. Curses, on the other hand, are with the denomination which regards lies as their own food, and has added to and/or subtracted from Revelation. One is now coming to an end, whereas the other is rapidly growing. This can be clearly seen with our own eyes. It is pitiful, despite seeing this the people do not realize. The Physical Israelites thought of themselves as the only chosen people at the time of the first coming. They neither realized they had sinned (the sin of the worshiping of gentile gods in 1 Kgs 11) and God had already left them, nor did they know Jesus, whom God was with. For these reasons they were judged. In other words, they were destroyed from a lack of biblical knowledge (Hos 4:6). In the same manner, today's Protestant pastors, the pastors of Spiritual Israel, also consider themselves the only chosen people. They do not know they have sinned (they bowed down to the Japanese god during Japanese's colonization). They also received the mark from the beast and worshiped him today in Revelation 13. They neither know God left them, nor do they know God, who left them, has now come to Shincheonji.
Shincheonji is well aware of the end and the consequences of the Protestant churches. They were anticipated in Revelation 6 and 7, Revelation 13 and 14, and Revelation 18 and 19. People are all blind and deaf; even though they see this, they do not know. Even though they hear it, they do not understand. They are nothing but the dead because they do not have any senses. They are only in deep sleep while engaging in sleep-talking.
Wake up from your sleep Protestant Christians! The morning sun has risen, and the day has dawned. Whoever rejects the word of the Revelation (i.e. the revealed word) is unable to go to heaven. I pray all will understand and attain salvation.
Amen!

The Name of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony
The Name of Shincheonji Church of Jesus,
the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony
Main reference: Rv 21, 15
What is Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony? What are the qualifications of becoming the saints of this temple?
“Shincheonji”, from Shincheonji Church of Jesus, refers to the new heaven and new earth promised in the New Testament (Rv 21). “Church of Jesus”, shows how Jesus is the founder of Shincheonji. At the time of the first coming, Jesus came to the land of Judah and later ascended into heaven. After his ascension, Jesus came to his disciple, John, and made known his word through the revelation. This is how the book of Revelation was recorded. After 2,000 years from when this word of prophecy was recorded, it has now been fulfilled today. The name of the newly created kingdom of God is Shincheonji (Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony). Until this present time, this new kingdom of God did not exist because Revelation (the prophecy) was not yet fulfilled. Now, however, we are able to say the name of God's kingdom because Revelation has been fulfilled.
After Moses' time, Jesus came at the first coming, according to the Old Testament, and sowed the seed of the gospel of heaven. This era of Jesus can be referred to as the era of Spiritual Israel. During this era, people used the term, Church of Jesus, but at the time of the second coming, when Revelation in the New Testament is fulfilled, the previous heaven, the era of sowing of the seed comes to an end, and the era of the new heaven is launched. The term for this new era is Shincheonji Church of Jesus, just as written in Revelation 21:1. This is the name promised by God. It is the heaven, which exists as Revelation is fulfilled. It is the new name of the new era. The era of Spiritual Israel, during which the seed was sown from Jesus' first coming, comes to an end. The era of the new heaven and new earth (Shincheonji), the era of New Spiritual Israel begins at the second coming.
“The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony”, in Rv 15, also comes to exist as Revelation is fulfilled. This Tabernacle of the Testimony has witnessed the destruction of the tabernacle of heaven in Rv 6 and 13, and the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in Mt 24. After having witnessed the destruction of the temple and the collapsing of all the churches, the Tabernacle of the Testimony is testifying about what it has witnessed. Furthermore, this tabernacle is referred to as a temple because God, heaven (the holy city), and New Jerusalem come down from heaven, and Jesus descends upon this place and dwell with it just as written in Rv 3. This is the unprecedented temple promised by God. It is a place where those who have fought against the group of the beast and have come out, are gathered as the promised Revelation has been fulfilled. It is truly a place in which God is residing. This Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony has been established, because all nations have fallen, just as depicted in Mt 24, Rv 13, and Rv 18. It is the promised temple where all nations are to come and worship. Rv 15 is a chapter, which makes this known. Therefore, those who believe in this word of promise will come to this temple.
Out of the whole world, this location is the kingdom of God, His temple, and the kingdom of priests. The world will come and worship at this temple according to the promises, because God and heaven have descended upon this place for the first time in 6,000 years. They will also come because it is a place where Jesus, who shed his blood for our sins, has been enthroned with the one who overcomes (Rv 3:21). There are God, Jesus, the four living creatures, and the 24 elders inside the new heaven and new earth, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, the new kingdom of God. Together with them, the 144,000 of the twelve tribes are also inside this temple. It is from this place the new song, the revealed word, which speaks about the fulfillment of the New Testament, is testified. It is at this location the true theology in the kingdom of heaven, which is Zion Christian Mission Center promised in the Bible (Rv 14), is situated. Out of the whole world, the only seminary school located before the throne of God is this theology. The entire congregation of the twelve tribes has studied the revelation at this place without adding to and/or subtracting from the word. They have been sealed and have passed the graduation test with the score of 90 or above. These people are the Firstfruits born of the word of truth (Jas 1:18). They are also the people of heaven who serve God eternally and who reign as king, just as promised in Rv 22.
There is only one new heaven and new earth, one new Jerusalem, one Zion Christian Mission Center, and one Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. God has prophesied about this in the book of Revelation within the New Testament. They are the names of the physical fulfillment of the prophecy. God made several people shed their blood for this sake, and finally today, He has accomplished His promises. On the other hand, the names of the regular churches, denominations, and seminary schools were made by humans. They have nothing to do with God. Men’s words come out of the manmade seminary schools. In contrast, God’s word of the revelation comes out of God’s promised temple and theology center (seminary).
The 144,000 of the twelve tribes from Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, were once enslaved in Babylon, but according to the promises of Jesus, they have been harvested like a thief in the night; the night after the sun, moon, and stars became dark and fell. After having been harvested, they have also been sealed in Zion Christian Mission Center. They are, in fact, the firstfruits who have transcended nationalities, races, and religions. They are the people who have become the citizens of heaven by believing in God’s prophecy and its physical fulfillment. They are the people of the promise according to the Bible.
This is the promise in the New Testament of the Bible: It is only when one becomes harvested at the second coming, is sealed, belongs to the twelve tribes of the promised kingdom, does not add to and/or subtract from Revelation, and one’s name is written in the book of life can this person attain salvation and enter into heaven. The people mentioned above have been harvested, sealed, and have become a part of the twelve tribes of Shincheonji. In addition to all these, they have studied the word (the prophecy) from Revelation chapter 1 to Revelation chapter 22 and their physical fulfillment. They have also passed the graduation test, and their names have been written in the book of life. In short, they are the people in whom the five qualifications above have been fulfilled. They are the ones who have kept the promise, the new covenant established by the blood. They have accomplished their hope of living with God in heaven for eternity, by keeping the new covenant and by becoming God’s new kingdom and priests.
At a time like this, the pastors of Satan are noticing how the numbers of their own congregation members have dramatically decreased, and how heaven, the new heaven and new earth, is being completed here on earth. Having seen this, Satan’s pastors provoked the parents of the young adults, who have been harvested, to create difficulties for those young adults. Some of these pastors handcuffed the hands and the feet of the young adults and fed them sleeping pills in order to conduct the conversion education on them. They dragged those young adults to a one-roomed studio and confined them. Not only did they force the young adults to sign the agreement paper to receive the conversion education, but also they used the young adults’ parents to assault their children, or to bring them to mental institutions when they resisted receiving the education. On top of all these things, there was even a murder case due to the conversion education. Such actions are obviously illegal. They are the actions of Satan and the actions of evil men.
Now the news, Shincheonji has mastered the Bible, and the Revelation in the New Testament has been fulfilled, is spreading throughout the whole world. Even the pastors from huge denominations outside of Korea (the heads who lead the congregation members, numbering one million to 40 million) have come all the way to South Korea to study the revealed word. They have graduated and returned to their countries. Now they are educating people of their own with what they have learned. All of these are clearly testifying now is the era of Shincheonji. This is the victory and the glory of God. It is such an amazing work, which makes known how heaven has come upon this earth. People from all over the world, by transcending nationalities, races, and religions, are coming to be part of the new kingdom, the twelve tribes, as they believe in the word of the new covenant in the Bible (the prophecy and its physical fulfillment).
According to the will of Jesus (Lk 2:14, Lk 19:38-44), Shincheonji is making an effort to accomplish world peace and the restoration of light through the culture of heaven. We firmly believe we will be able to serve God and live with Him eternally; as war is put to an end, and as heaven, the kingdom of world peace, is established here on earth.
We are proclaiming the promises in the New Testament are being fulfilled in Shincheonji today. Whoever believes in this will attain salvation.
Amen!

The Lamp and Oil to Receive Jesus at His Second Coming
The Lamp and Oil to Receive Jesus
at His Second Coming
Main reference: Mt 25 (Mt 22; Rv 19); Jer 31; Ez 39; Hos 2
What is the lamp and oil that one needs to prepare in order to receive the Lord when he returns?
In Matthew 25, Jesus said that those who do not prepare the lamp and oil cannot receive the bridegroom Jesus, and they will be left outside the wedding banquet. Is Jesus referring to a literal lamp and oil? Or are they metaphors? According to the Scriptures “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old,” (Ps 78:2), Jesus “did not say anything to them without using a parable” (Mt 13:34-35).
What does the lamp and oil symbolise? Jesus told this parable using the ancient Israelite wedding banquet custom. In those days, the Israelites held their wedding banquets at night. Each bridesmaid would carry a lamp to receive the bridegroom and lead him into the house and into the room where the bride waits.
God said in Jeremiah 31, “… I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt... they broke my covenant though I was a husband to them.” He also spoke in Hosea 2:19-20, “I will betroth you to me forever.” In the same manner, Jesus has said that he will come in the position of a bridegroom. Like the Israelites that came out of Egypt, we too have become the brides. Why is Jesus expressed as the groom and we as the brides? Jesus is spirit and we are flesh, the house for the spirit. We become one with the Lord by embracing the Lord in our hearts. This is a spiritual marriage. In this sense, the metaphor of the bridegroom and brides is used. This can also be found in Apostle Paul’s letter when he stated, “I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him” (2 Cor 11:2).
In order to partake in this spiritual wedding banquet and to receive the Lord, one must prepare the lamp and the oil. In Moses and Aaron's case, Aaron used olive oil to light up the lamps in the tabernacle (Lv 24). In Zechariah 4, two olive trees and seven lamps appear. The seven lamps were the seven spirits before the throne (Rv 4). The two olive trees beside the lampstand, symbolises the pastors who served the Lord (Zec 4:14). In Revelation 11, the two witnesses who stand before the Lord are likened to two olive trees. Thus, spiritual 'oil’ symbolises the word of testimony that comes out through the mouths of the two witnesses. They have seen and heard the fulfilment of the prophecies of the entire Revelation and this is testified just as they were commanded. This very word of testimony is the oil of the Holy Spirit of the Lord.
What is the lamp? Just as Jesus is the light (Jn 12:46) and the Word (1 Jn 1:1), the spiritual lamp is Jesus’ word of promise, that is, the Bible. [Since the witnesses, likened onto olive trees, know the word (prophecies) of the Bible that was hidden through the parables and its physical fulfilments, the word of the Holy Spirit, which testifies about the physical realities that have been fulfilled is the oil, which lights up the Bible]. The main reference (Mt 25) mentions those who sell the oil, which refers to the olive trees i.e. the witnesses. Only those who receive the revealed word from these witnesses, the olive trees, and gain the understanding are able to receive the returning Lord.
At the time of the First Coming, the Jews failed to receive their God as their groom despite having the Old Testament (prophecies). This was due to their lack of understanding of the words of the promise. Likewise today, if one does not know the returning path of the Lord and the promised pastor, they will be unable to recognise God, the Holy City of New Jerusalem coming down from heaven, and Jesus when they come and only become persecutors. Without the proper teaching, the pastors of each denomination will be held responsible for their members’ ignorance. The Bible even promises after which events and to whom heaven, God and Jesus would come (Rv 3:12).
The word of the New Testament is the path, the lamp and the light the Lord uses to return. The oil of the Holy Spirit is the revealed word, which is the evidence of the fulfilment of Revelation. Being part of the fulfilment (the physical realities and entities) transpires as, being reborn in a new image as the new covenant is fulfilled in you. The eligibility of receiving the Lord at the wedding banquet is preparing the lamp and the oil, and acting in accordance to the prophecy and its physical fulfilment. The five qualifications include: being harvested, being sealed, becoming a part of the twelve tribes, not adding to and/or taking away from Revelation, and having your name recorded in the book of life. This is the new covenant that believers must keep. God made it known to us that we will be able to reign eternally as kings, as His Kingdom (heaven) and his priests, if we obtain the five qualifications. These are the marriage qualifications to receive the Lord, and serve as a sign that the lamp and oil has been prepared. If one’s lamp shines no light due to a lack of oil, this means their heart has turned dark from not knowing the Bible's prophecy and its physical fulfilment and signifies the deficiency of their faith. How can such person receive the Lord if their position is like that of a non-believer? Like the sun, moon, and stars of the sky have darkened and fallen to the ground, they have returned to being mere flesh, despite having begun their faith with the Holy Spirit. Although this is the reality, they do not realise that they are in this situation and therefore they are in the night.
In 1 Thessalonians 5 there are those who are asleep at night and urged them to awake. Those who do not have the light will get destroyed, but those who become like the light of the day will attain salvation.
Today, at the time of the Second Coming, anyone involved in the acts of persecution and cursing is a pastor of Satan. Such actions serve as the evidence that they are a part of Satan’s people. It is only those who believe and keep the word of promise whom will attain salvation. I pray for all to believe and be saved.
Amen!

at His Second Coming
Main reference: Mt 25 (Mt 22; Rv 19); Jer 31; Ez 39; Hos 2
What is the lamp and oil that one needs to prepare in order to receive the Lord when he returns?
In Matthew 25, Jesus said that those who do not prepare the lamp and oil cannot receive the bridegroom Jesus, and they will be left outside the wedding banquet. Is Jesus referring to a literal lamp and oil? Or are they metaphors? According to the Scriptures “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old,” (Ps 78:2), Jesus “did not say anything to them without using a parable” (Mt 13:34-35).
What does the lamp and oil symbolise? Jesus told this parable using the ancient Israelite wedding banquet custom. In those days, the Israelites held their wedding banquets at night. Each bridesmaid would carry a lamp to receive the bridegroom and lead him into the house and into the room where the bride waits.
God said in Jeremiah 31, “… I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt... they broke my covenant though I was a husband to them.” He also spoke in Hosea 2:19-20, “I will betroth you to me forever.” In the same manner, Jesus has said that he will come in the position of a bridegroom. Like the Israelites that came out of Egypt, we too have become the brides. Why is Jesus expressed as the groom and we as the brides? Jesus is spirit and we are flesh, the house for the spirit. We become one with the Lord by embracing the Lord in our hearts. This is a spiritual marriage. In this sense, the metaphor of the bridegroom and brides is used. This can also be found in Apostle Paul’s letter when he stated, “I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him” (2 Cor 11:2).
In order to partake in this spiritual wedding banquet and to receive the Lord, one must prepare the lamp and the oil. In Moses and Aaron's case, Aaron used olive oil to light up the lamps in the tabernacle (Lv 24). In Zechariah 4, two olive trees and seven lamps appear. The seven lamps were the seven spirits before the throne (Rv 4). The two olive trees beside the lampstand, symbolises the pastors who served the Lord (Zec 4:14). In Revelation 11, the two witnesses who stand before the Lord are likened to two olive trees. Thus, spiritual 'oil’ symbolises the word of testimony that comes out through the mouths of the two witnesses. They have seen and heard the fulfilment of the prophecies of the entire Revelation and this is testified just as they were commanded. This very word of testimony is the oil of the Holy Spirit of the Lord.
What is the lamp? Just as Jesus is the light (Jn 12:46) and the Word (1 Jn 1:1), the spiritual lamp is Jesus’ word of promise, that is, the Bible. [Since the witnesses, likened onto olive trees, know the word (prophecies) of the Bible that was hidden through the parables and its physical fulfilments, the word of the Holy Spirit, which testifies about the physical realities that have been fulfilled is the oil, which lights up the Bible]. The main reference (Mt 25) mentions those who sell the oil, which refers to the olive trees i.e. the witnesses. Only those who receive the revealed word from these witnesses, the olive trees, and gain the understanding are able to receive the returning Lord.
At the time of the First Coming, the Jews failed to receive their God as their groom despite having the Old Testament (prophecies). This was due to their lack of understanding of the words of the promise. Likewise today, if one does not know the returning path of the Lord and the promised pastor, they will be unable to recognise God, the Holy City of New Jerusalem coming down from heaven, and Jesus when they come and only become persecutors. Without the proper teaching, the pastors of each denomination will be held responsible for their members’ ignorance. The Bible even promises after which events and to whom heaven, God and Jesus would come (Rv 3:12).
The word of the New Testament is the path, the lamp and the light the Lord uses to return. The oil of the Holy Spirit is the revealed word, which is the evidence of the fulfilment of Revelation. Being part of the fulfilment (the physical realities and entities) transpires as, being reborn in a new image as the new covenant is fulfilled in you. The eligibility of receiving the Lord at the wedding banquet is preparing the lamp and the oil, and acting in accordance to the prophecy and its physical fulfilment. The five qualifications include: being harvested, being sealed, becoming a part of the twelve tribes, not adding to and/or taking away from Revelation, and having your name recorded in the book of life. This is the new covenant that believers must keep. God made it known to us that we will be able to reign eternally as kings, as His Kingdom (heaven) and his priests, if we obtain the five qualifications. These are the marriage qualifications to receive the Lord, and serve as a sign that the lamp and oil has been prepared. If one’s lamp shines no light due to a lack of oil, this means their heart has turned dark from not knowing the Bible's prophecy and its physical fulfilment and signifies the deficiency of their faith. How can such person receive the Lord if their position is like that of a non-believer? Like the sun, moon, and stars of the sky have darkened and fallen to the ground, they have returned to being mere flesh, despite having begun their faith with the Holy Spirit. Although this is the reality, they do not realise that they are in this situation and therefore they are in the night.
In 1 Thessalonians 5 there are those who are asleep at night and urged them to awake. Those who do not have the light will get destroyed, but those who become like the light of the day will attain salvation.
Today, at the time of the Second Coming, anyone involved in the acts of persecution and cursing is a pastor of Satan. Such actions serve as the evidence that they are a part of Satan’s people. It is only those who believe and keep the word of promise whom will attain salvation. I pray for all to believe and be saved.

Shincheonji, the Extraordinary Kingdom in Heaven and on Earth
Shincheonji, the Extraordinary Kingdom
in Heaven and on Earth
Main reference: Rv 21:1-2
The extraordinary kingdom (the holy city in heaven in Rv 21:2) mentioned in the main reference is referring to a spiritual realm. It has never been here on earth before. The kingdom of Shincheonji was also never before created on earth. The unification of the spiritual realm and the kingdom of Shincheonji can be referred to as the extraordinary kingdom, Shincheonji. It can be viewed in different perspectives depending on the people, and this is its special feature. What kind of place, then, is Shincheonji?
For the last 6,000 years of Bible history, the kingdom of Shincheonji has never appeared on earth before, not even once. It is a dream-like kingdom which people would never have known, even if others had told them. However, there is a common ground among the people who view Shincheonji differently: They are from the same country, and they speak the same language. What then are the differences among these people? The perspectives on Shincheonji differ depending on the people who view it. Some view it negatively, as if they do not understand it. Some think of it positively and as something very precious. Why are there such different perspectives? The people of the same country regard the people of Shincheonji as vile, whereas the people from different countries consider them very good. What are the reasons for such differences? Even if I tell you the facts, it will still be hard to understand. An Eastern prophet once predicted what was yet to come by saying, "Even if the person chosen by heaven brings three foods which lead people to eternal life, how will the secular people of the world be able to know this?" Even if heaven knows earth, how will earth be able to know heaven? Earth has its limits, but space and heaven are limitless.
One has come to the extraordinary kingdom, Shincheonji, but he is unable to see its physical image, he only sees Shincheonji and its people. Since Shincheonji people, and this person, speak the language of the same country, they can interact with each other. However, the meaning of the words spoken from the people of Shincheonji, which has been united with the spiritual realm, is different from the words spoken from the people of the world. What type of words do the people of Shincheonji speak? They speak the words of the divine being (i.e. a spirit or God). The divine being resides in words and when they speak, they speak the words containing the purpose of the spirit. This is the reason why the people of the world cannot comprehend the words of the people of Shincheonji. The spirit of flesh, being opposite to the spirit of God, is another reason why the people of the world cannot perceive the words of Shincheonji. Some may question as to how the people from other nations are then able to understand the words. Even if they are foreigners, if they are united with the spirit of God, they are able to perceive and interact through this very spirit of God.
As the kingdom of Shincheonji--the kingdom united with the spiritual realm--has appeared, all the evil spirits from the world have gathered into the nation where it has appeared, and they are ruling over the people. Having been the adversaries of the spirit of the holy God, these wicked spirits block the thoughts of men and steer their thoughts to view Shincheonji with resentment. How can spirits control people? People are likened unto fields and houses where spirits enter and direct people. They sometimes provoke people to have troubles or manipulate them to have disputes. Now that the God of the spiritual world has united as one with the people of Shincheonji, the evil spirits also enter the believers who resemble them and interfere with the work of Shincheonji. This is a battle between the spirits. People whom the spirits enter and use show the same actions as those spirits. Even if it is a father and a son, if the spirits within them are different, the father and the son become engaged into disputes. The paths of their thoughts become disparate. If the God of the spiritual realm had come to Japan or the United States of America, instead of Korea, those places would have been in confusion and chaos, just like the religious world in Korea is at this present time. A pleasant world, a good season, will come if the battle between these two spirits is put to an end, and if the God of the spiritual realm triumphs. However, if the evil spirits prevail, this world will always be in confusion, just like it has been since the times of old. War will end; world peace and the Sabbath-rest will come if the holy spirit wins. The holy spirit of the kingdom of heaven, the spiritual realm, acknowledges Shincheonji because it has received the promised revelation of the New Testament, and it is acting upon the purpose of the revelation. Now it is the era of God, the God of Shincheonji, and the kingdom of heaven. Since spirits and flesh both overcame in heaven and on earth, the world of sin and wickedness, and the world of disputes are becoming the kingdom of heaven.
Even if the world denies it, Shincheonji is acknowledged by heaven. It is truly the kingdom of promise, which God and His Son Jesus, have promised since long ago. It is truly the kingdom of heaven where the spiritual heaven descends, and where people live with God and the angels forever and ever.
Amen!

The Words in the Bible the Saints Must Perceive, Believe, and Keep
The Words in the Bible the Saints Must
Perceive, Believe, and Keep
Main reference: Hos 4:6
One becomes destroyed if he lacks the word of God, the knowledge of the Bible.
The content of the 66 books (39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament) of the Bible (the Old and the New Testaments) can be categorized into four types: History, teachings (moral instructions), prophecy, and fulfillment.
The logical order of the events that occur in every era: The betrayal of the chosen people, the destruction by gentiles, and salvation through the promised pastor.
The logical order of creation and re-creation:
1. Selection of a pastor
2. Creation of a kingdom
3. Covenant with the chosen people
4. The betrayal of the covenant by the chosen people and destruction
5. Selection of a new pastor
6. Judgment and salvation
7. Creation of a new kingdom
8. New covenant
(The logical order can be seen in ten steps if the numbers 4 and 6 are divided into two parts each--number 4 can be divided into the betrayal of the covenant and destruction, and number 6 into judgment and salvation.)
Distinguishing of the eras during the 6,000 years of biblical history:
1. The era of Genesis
2. The era of the Exodus and the Law
3. The era of the Judges
4. The era of the Kings
5. The era of the Prophets
6. The era of the Gospel of Heaven
7. The era of the Epistles
8. The era of Revelation and Re-creation
Qualifications to enter into heaven: Six things which must be fulfilled in us are.
1. One must be born of the seed of God.
2. One must be harvested.
3. One must be sealed.
4. One must belong to the promised kingdom, the 12 tribes.
5. One must not add to and/or subtract from Revelation.
6. One's name must be recorded in the book of life.
Testimony according to the 5Ws and 1H: who, what, where, when, why, and how
Distinguishing of the pastors: Pastors are categorized into three types.
1. The pastor of prophecy (Old Testament prophets)
2. The general pastor (a pastor who peaches the fulfillment)
3. The pastor of promise (the pastor promised before things are fulfilled)
These three types of pastors must exist. Among these three, the pastor of promise appears at an appointed time. At the appointed time, everyone must listen to the words of the pastor of the promise in order to attain salvation.
● The parables, the secrets from of old, and the testimony of the physical realities (prophecy and fulfillment)
Main references: Mt 13:34-35 (Gn 3:22; Mt 13:11-15)
· The world of Adam: Pastor and creation, covenant (Gn 2:17), betrayal of the covenant by the deception of the gentile, fulfillment of the covenant (Gn 3, Gn 7), judgment and destruction.
· The covenant with Abraham: Gn 15
☞ The fulfillment: The exodus and the entry to Canaan
· The prophecy in the Old Testament: Is 14:24
☞ The fulfillment: “It is finished” in Jn 19:30.
· The prophecy of Revelation in the New Testament: Rv 1:1
☞ The fulfillment: “It is done” in Rv 21:6.
When books of prophecy are testified, both the pastor of prophecy and the pastor of fulfillment need to be testified about. The fulfillment should be testified according to its prophecy as well as to the 5Ws and 1H.
In regard to the fulfillment of the books of prophecy, there is a fulfillment of the Old Testament, and there is a fulfillment of the New Testament. The Old Testament was fulfilled at the time of the first coming, and the New Testament has been fulfilled at the time of the second coming. A promise was given so people will believe when the foretold prophecy comes to pass (Jn 14:29).
Now is the time of the testimony of the fulfillment of the New Testament. At a time like this, causing problems with trivial matters is a trick of Satan. We must realize it is the devil's play which takes our time away and confuses our minds. Let us keep our promise and attain our hope.
★ Shincheonji is neither the corrupt Christian Council of Korea which is tainted with money, nor is it the people of Canaan who entered Sabbath-rest. We are the leading characters for the work of the new creation.

The Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven: The Two Types of Trees in the Bible
The Secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven:
The Two Types of Trees in the Bible
Main references: Ps 78:1-4; Mt 13 (Gn 2; Rv 22:1-2)
According to the Bible (God), what are the two types of trees found within the scriptures?
There are several secrets written in figurative language within the Bible. Among these secrets, the seed, which is the secret of the kingdom of heaven, is one of the most significant (Mk 4:13). In the book of Revelation, there is the mystery of the seven pastors who prepare the way of God, there is the mystery of Satan’s organization, the beast with seven heads and ten horns, and there is also a mystery of the trumpet of salvation, the seventh trumpet.
The two types of trees in Genesis 2:
There was the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil spoken of within the book of Genesis. It is in the time of Revelation, of today, after 6,000 years have passed since the time of Genesis, the actual realities of the secrets of these two trees have now appeared.
Concerning this tree, Jesus explained the tree grows as a result of a seed being planted. The tree which has grown bears fruit, and birds come and dwell within the branches (Mt 13:31-32). The seed symbolizes the word of God (refer to Lk 8:11) and the two types of trees represent pastors who are born from one of the two types of seed of the spirits, such as Jesus (Jn 15:1-5) and Nebuchadnezzar (Dn 4:20-22). Today, at the time of Revelation, the one who blows the trumpet of salvation with the word of life, the one who overcomes, is a figurative tree of life. The organization of Satan, the beast with seven heads and ten horns (Babylon’s false pastor), is a figurative tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The fruit of either tree signifies the children born of the spirits (refer to Jas 1:18), and the birds of the tree are the gods (the spirits) who gave the seed.
People are in a state of confusion concerning good and evil because they were born of the seed inherited from Adam, who ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Being born again of God’s seed and spirit (Jn 3:1-6) is what is able to rid people of the inherited confusion of good and evil. The devil has been reigning over the world for the last 6,000 years because of Adam’s sin (Mt 4:8-9; Rv 18:2-3). One can attain salvation only if they overcome the evil which resides in their thoughts and hearts, with good. The power which enables them to conquer evil is the spirit of Jesus Christ, which helps the good, and the word of God’s seed. If one overcomes, then heaven, God, and eternal life can exist with them. We must overcome the evil within us through the truth. We must also conquer the temptation of the world as well as the devil. It is only when one prevails with the truth, can they then come out of death (being harvested), that is, come out of Babylon (the kingdom of demons). Only then can they be sealed and become the priests of God’s kingdom, the 12 tribes (being sealed and belonging to the 12 tribes). Their name can also be written in the book of life by not adding to and/or subtracting from Revelation.
One can come out of the graves of Babylon—the kingdom of the devil where death exists—and gain the resurrection of life (God), by receiving Jesus’ word of revelation (Jn 5:24-29).
God is the God of the living, the God of those who overcome (Mt 22:32).

The fruit of either tree signifies the children born of the spirits (refer to Jas 1:18), and the birds of the tree are the gods (the spirits) who gave the seed.
People are in a state of confusion concerning good and evil because they were born of the seed inherited from Adam, who ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Being born again of God’s seed and spirit (Jn 3:1-6) is what is able to rid people of the inherited confusion of good and evil. The devil has been reigning over the world for the last 6,000 years because of Adam’s sin (Mt 4:8-9; Rv 18:2-3). One can attain salvation only if they overcome the evil which resides in their thoughts and hearts, with good. The power which enables them to conquer evil is the spirit of Jesus Christ, which helps the good, and the word of God’s seed. If one overcomes, then heaven, God, and eternal life can exist with them. We must overcome the evil within us through the truth. We must also conquer the temptation of the world as well as the devil. It is only when one prevails with the truth, can they then come out of death (being harvested), that is, come out of Babylon (the kingdom of demons). Only then can they be sealed and become the priests of God’s kingdom, the 12 tribes (being sealed and belonging to the 12 tribes). Their name can also be written in the book of life by not adding to and/or subtracting from Revelation.
One can come out of the graves of Babylon—the kingdom of the devil where death exists—and gain the resurrection of life (God), by receiving Jesus’ word of revelation (Jn 5:24-29).
God is the God of the living, the God of those who overcome (Mt 22:32).

The Logic of Creation and Re-creation in the Old and the New Testaments
The Logic of Creation and Re-creation
in the Old and the New Testaments
Main reference: Rv 21:1
● The logical order of the creation and re-creation in the Old Testament
☼ God appointed Noah and destroyed the world of Adam when Adam's world
became corrupt.
☞ God appointed the Israelites and destroyed the world of Noah when Noah's
world became corrupt.
☞ God appointed Jesus when the Physical Israelites became corrupt.
☞ He brought the corrupt Physical Israelites to an end and established the
Spiritual Israelites.
◦ This is the logic of creation and re-creation.
● The following is the logical order of creation and re-creation:
1. God selects a pastor.
2. God creates a kingdom (nation) through that pastor.
3. God establishes a covenant with the created chosen people.
4. The chosen people who made a covenant betray.
5. God selects a new pastor.
6. God judges the previous chosen people who betrayed through the new pastor.
7. God gives salvation to the people.
8. God creates a new kingdom (nation) through the chosen people who were saved.
9. God establishes a new covenant with the new chosen people who were created.
This process has repeatedly taken place from the time of the fall of Adam, up until the present day. God has been constructing a new kingdom and putting an end to the previous world because the formerly created kingdom becomes crooked and corrupt. Whenever the previous and first heaven deteriorates, God promised (prophesied) through the prophets He would create a new era. It was at the time when this promise was proclaimed to the whole nation God brought the first heaven to an end and conducted His work of the creation of a new era.
Having started off with the Psalms, Isaiah, all the way to Malachi, God spoke prophecies (promises) when the Physical Israelites did not keep the covenant (Ex 19:5-6) and became sullied. In other words, God preached for approximately 600 to 700 years how He would overthrow the sinful Israelites and create a new kingdom and a new people. Once this prophecy was proclaimed to the whole nation, God fulfilled his promise.
The prophets in the Old Testament were the pastors of prophecy. They wrote what they saw and heard into each of the books, such as the 66 chapters of Isaiah and the 52 chapters of Jeremiah. The prophecies from these prophets came to pass through the pastor who was promised before things happened.
What circumstances were the chosen people in when the prophets were prophesying? The following relates to how the content of the prophecies begins. Isaiah saw the vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem roughly 2,700 years ago, and he wrote it into the 66 chapters. The prophecies began with how the chosen people, Judah and Jerusalem, were held in captivity by the gentiles, Babylon, due to their betrayal and corruption. In addition to Isaiah, Jeremiah wrote prophecies about 2,600 years ago and began to write the prophecies with the fact Jerusalem was enslaved by the gentiles for the same reason. The book of Ezekiel also started with the prophecy regarding the Israelites being under the gentiles because of their rebellion and degeneration approximately 2,600 years ago. The prophecy of Daniel began with the same story of how Jerusalem was enslaved by the gentiles, Babylon, for exactly the same reason about 2,500 years ago. The prophecies of the Old Testament prophets were written after the chosen people, the Israelites, became the slaves of the gentiles because of their corruption.
Even after being chosen and making a covenant with God, the chosen people betrayed him and became sullied. For this reason, they were conquered and under the possession of the gentiles. At a time like this, when God's kingdom and people did not exist, God selected a new pastor in order to create His kingdom and people again. Through this newly selected pastor, God began the judgment of the chosen people who sinned, and the destroyers.
God came to the promised pastor and fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets (Jn 19:30). Who betrayed and who were destroyed at that time? The era which came to an end was the era of the chosen people who betrayed. As the judgment started, the previous era was put to an end, and re-creation began.
● The logical order of the creation and the re-creation in the New Testament
After the era of the Old Testament came to an end, the new era created was Spiritual Israel which originated from Jesus. Spiritual Israel, however, also comes to an end in accordance with the New Testament prophecies. Matthew 24:14 states, "This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." This word is concerning the Spiritual Israelites. Just like the Physical Israelites, the Spiritual Israelites will also be brought to an end. This is the New Testament, the prophecy, and the end.
At the time of the New Testament's fulfillment, the physical realities of the New Testament Revelation appear one by one, and the events of betrayal, destruction, and salvation occur. Those who believe in the word of God in the Bible will rejoice when seeing the physical fulfillment, and they will come to the place of salvation, among the work of betrayal, destruction, and salvation. These are the ones who truly believe.
Whenever the prophets in the Old and the New Testaments recorded what they saw and heard, they first made known how the chosen people were held captive by the gentiles (i.e., Babylon) and how the word of God (the prophecy) was indeed written for this reason.
The scriptures explain today will be just like the days of Noah and Lot (Lk 17:26-30). It indicates how the same events which took place at the time will take place today. All the prophecies will surely come to pass just as they were recorded. False pastors proclaim they have already received salvation and the holy spirit. They say they are the true orthodoxy even before the New Testament prophecies are fulfilled. Such words are all lies made up by the false pastors. Just as recorded in Matthew 24, first the temple is thrown down by the enemy. The sun, moon, and stars go dark and fall. The abomination that causes desolation stands in the holy place. When these events occur, the chosen people of the tabernacle of heaven receive the mark from the pastors of Babylon and worship them (Rv 13). Furthermore, all nations fall because of the maddening wine of adulteries given from the pastors of Babylon in Revelation 17 and 18. After this event, the selection of the new pastor and the events of salvation and judgment take place. God's new kingdom (the new heaven and new earth) is also created (Rv 21:1).
Since the Bible is fulfilled without being added to and/or subtracted from, the saints must believe according to the Bible. While all nations have fallen and become Babylon, while they have been marrying to the devil (Rv 18), believers claim they have attained salvation and the holy spirit, and that they are the true orthodoxy. They speak in this way because their mentality has been tainted by the mentality of Babylon. Just like the testimony of Paul (2 Thes 2:1-4), believers must believe the work of salvation will not proceed, until the betrayal of the chosen people and the destruction of the chosen people by the gentiles, the destroyers, takes place.
The pastors who lie always tell lies, but the pastor who speaks on behalf always speaks the truth according to what he has seen and heard, just like it says in the aforementioned article.
