The New Testament’s Twelve Tribes, 144,000 & the Multitude in White

The New Testament’s Twelve Tribes,
144,000 & the Multitude in White


Main reference: Rv 7

The New Testament is the new covenant Jesus established with his blood (Lk 22:20). The conclusion of the New Testament is the twelve tribes of God’s promised new kingdom. The 144,000 of the twelve tribes are those who are sealed (Rv 5:9-10), and the multitude in white are those whose sins have been washed away by Jesus’ blood (Rv 7:9-14). The sealed 144,000 are the priests (pastors) of God’s new kingdom, and the multitude in white is the new kingdom’s subjects (the congregation members) whose sins have been washed away. They were promised by the Lord with his blood at the First Coming; they are God’s kingdom and priests, and His people.

According to Rv 7:9-14, the great multitude dressed in white, that no one could count from every nation, tribe, people and languages, come out of the great tribulation after the 12,000 from each of the tribes are sealed. What is the reason for this event? The winds that were blown in Rv 6 are held back in Rv 7 while the 144,000 are sealed. The winds stop as promised, but they blow again once all of the 144,000 are sealed—this is why it says that the multitude in white comes out of the great tribulation.

The winds that were blown in Rv 6 were plagues given to the chosen people who betrayed, but the winds in Rv 7 are blown on every nation, tribe, people and languages, which means that they are blown on the churches of the whole world. The judgment (the wind) in Rv 6 takes place after they were urged to repent in chapters 2 and 3, and the winds in Rv 7 are blown on the people who did not repent and obey despite the fact that the fulfillment of Revelation was made known to them first. The sins of those who came out of the great tribulation were washed with Jesus’ blood so they could become the multitude in white, and this great tribulation takes place because the messenger of the covenant testifies to the fulfillment of Revelation to the whole world; the multitude in white comes out of this tribulation.

The events of the end of the age written in the Book of Revelation was originally preached in the nations of the West, Europe, and eventually came to the East, the ends of the earth (the energy of the West coming to the East). The gospel of heaven comes to an end because it was preached to the ends of the earth as promised (Ref: Mt 24:14), and the twelve tribes of the new kingdom of the latter-heaven is created by harvesting and sealing after the end of the previous-heaven.
Then, Jesus who fulfilled the New Testament (Revelation) sent his messenger to the churches to testify (to the revealed word of reality, the fulfillment of Revelation). The messenger who speaks on Jesus’ behalf saw and heard the events of Revelation’s fulfillment where these events took place. The work of harvesting and sealing began as he received and ate the revealed scroll, and he went around the whole world, starting from Europe, the nations of the West, for all the peoples of the world who had been waiting for the fulfillment of the New Testament; this is the “fulfillment of the East traveling to the West,” and through this, he made known the fulfillment of the New Testament to the whole world as described in Rv 2 and 3.
Those who believe and repent will come, but those who do not believe will not come. As promised, the four living creatures of Rv 6 release the strong winds to the whole world as the news of the New Testament’s fulfillment is made known and as many believers hear and know it. Those who perceive and come at this time are the multitude in white.

Events of betrayal, destruction, and salvation occurred at the time of Jesus’ First Coming. The betrayer was Jerusalem, the destroyers were the Pharisees, the snakes (Mt 23:33), and the savior was Jesus. The events of betrayal, destruction, and salvation also took place in today’s era in the same way, and the global harvest, the multitude in white, will come from all the nations of the world at the time of salvation. The pastors of the world are streaming to Shinchonji in Korea at this moment. They will learn the facts of the fulfillment of the New Testament and go back to blow the trumpet and cry out to the world of Christianity. As in the time of the First Coming, there will be clashes between those who believe and those who do not believe in this era (the time of the Second Coming), and there will be religious tribulation because of it. Just as there was an uproar among the established churches in Korea when Shinchonji began, the same thing will happen wherever this Word is preached. But the words of promise continue to be fulfilled. This is how the world will be conquered, and this is how God will take back the world that He lost and reign for the first time in 6,000 years.

As the the dragon is seized and the wedding banquet of the Lamb takes place (Rv 20:1-6), the First Resurrection beings, religious wars come to an end, and the world’s peace and rest come. As these events draw nearer to us, we must make a new turn in our hearts to hold the hands of the Lord and run, again and again. Let us become the light of the City of Truth, and the chosen people who are righteous and just.

Who acted as the master and controlled the world for the past, long 6,000 years? Satan was acting like the master, as God the Creator became a wanderer to His own creation. The family of Satan, not God, received all creation as their inheritance and had been living as such. People’s words, ideologies, histories, habits, actions, and sinful genes all belonged to Satan. What in the world took after God? People did not know about the Lord of Creation or Satan. They only knew how to live in such a way, as they had become accustomed to the world of Satan throughout the years. They lived without even knowing what truly was sin or righteousness. But people came to know who God is through religion, and came to know the history, moral teaching, prophecies, and fulfillment of the Bible, and who the true master of the world is.

Satan has been reigning over the earth for the past 6,000 years, and has been ruling and controlling over it; he was the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the one with the authority of the world. He was the seal of perfection in Eden and was full of wisdom, covered with every precious stone (Eze 28, NKJV). Jesus and the Promised Pastor of the New Testament must fight and overcome this Satan to take back from him what belongs to God.

Today, they overcame in the heavens (the spiritual realm) and the earth (the physical realm), and starting now come God’s kingdom, salvation, and authority (Rv 12). And it is written that the one who overcomes will receive the promises of Rv 2 and 3. The one who overcomes receives the food for eternal life (the hidden manna), the authority to judge (the white stone), and the authority to rule over all nations (the iron scepter). He heals all nations as God, heaven, and Jesus come down on him, and rules over all nations as he sits with Jesus on his throne.
This is the day of Shinchonji. Father God, thank you. Please reign on the heavens and the earth.

Amen! Hallelujah!

The Corrupted Orthodoxy In Each of the Eras

The Corrupted Orthodoxy
In Each of the Eras


Main reference: Mt 5:11-12, Acts 7:51-53, Mt 23:30-33

Let us not just say, ‘Lord, Lord,’ with our lips, but correctly know and believe God and His Will!

● Betrayal of Adam’s World and Salvation of Noah’s Family
Although Adam and Eve had inherited everything under the heavens, they became Satan the Devil’s possession because they betrayed; this is why God had to leave Adam’s world (Gn 6). After leaving Adam’s world, God came to Noah who was the 9th descendant of Adam. And it was through Noah whom God warned the people regarding the coming flood of destruction. Despite all this, the world of Adam still did not believe in Noah’s warning.
Why did they not believe in his words? It was because they did not realize that they were sinners through Adam, that God had already left them, and that the God who left them was now with Noah. They insisted that they were the orthodoxy and that they were the chosen people of God whom He created; these are the reasons that they did not believe Noah, and believed that God was still with them.

As promised to Noah, God judged Adam’s world, the world that became full of sin and evil, with a flood. They, who probably called Noah “crazy” for building the ark, drowned in the flood while looking at the ark. It was too late for them to regret not believing in his words.
At the time of Noah, the families of Adam’s world had not perceived their sins, God’s departure from them, and that the God of salvation was with Noah. Their thoughts of being the chosen people and the orthodoxy and that God was still with them were nothing but delusions.

Only Noah’s family of 8 received salvation at the time of the destruction of Adam’s world.

● Betrayal of Noah’s World
Noah’s world, saved by getting on the ark, was the people who watched Adam’s world die in the flood due to their betrayal. But even Noah’s world ended up committing sin as Ham, Noah’s second son, received the spirit of the snake and pointed out the nakedness of his father Noah; this is just like how the snake deceived Eve in Adam’s world (The snake told them that they were naked, Ref: Gn 3:7-13). And in the same way that Adam and Eve, deceived by the snake, were cursed, Ham and Canaan were also cursed. Although Noah’s family of eight were the only ones who were saved while numerous people of Adam’s world were wiped away in the flood, Noah’s world, through Noah’s son Ham, committed the same act of the snake.


● Promise with Abraham, and Salvation through Moses
God left Noah’s world and made known future event to Noah’s 10th descendant Abraham (Gn 15). Abraham’s descendants ended up going to Egypt because of this, and the Israelites were led out by Moses after four generations since entering into Egypt. After coming out of Egypt, the Israelites destroyed (conquered) and ruled over Ham’s descendants, the world of Canaan.

● Betrayal of Israel, Moses’ world, and the promise of God and the Old Testament prophets
God made a covenant with Israel, the world of Moses (Ex 19:5-6). But that covenant was broken as they did not keep the covenant and as they worshiped and bowed to the gentile gods at the time of Solomon. Israel, made up of 11 tribes, and the tribe of Judah (Jerusalem) violated and betrayed the covenant like Adam (Hos 6:7). However, God did not give up and began to give promises regarding future events starting at that time to the prophets of the Old Testament, and this promise is the Old Testament.

● The Era of the Gospel of Heaven of Jesus’ First Coming (Spiritual Israel), and the New Testament
God conveyed this promise to Israel that betrayed for the next 600~700 years, and came to Jesus to do a new work (thing).
What is the new work? Although God used people who were born with the genes of Adam who had sinned, but they ended up betraying because of their element of sin. Thus, God made known that He will appointed someone born with God’s seed (Jesus), not of man, to do a new work (Jer 31:22). About 600 years after at the appointed time, God came to Mary (virgin) and gave birth to a son through the holy spirit of God, and Spiritual Israel began at the time of Jesus (Ref: Jn 1:12-13); this is the new work.

God fulfilled what was promised through the Old Testament by coming to His Son born with His seed (Jn 19:30), and further promised what were to be fulfilled in the future (harvest and the creation of a new kingdom, Mt 13:30, Heb 8:10), and this is the New Testament.
At this time, the people of Physical Israel did not realize that they broke the covenant through their transgression at the time of Solomon (1 Kings 11), and that they were sinners who betrayed by worshipping gentiles gods. Rather, they still believed that they were the orthodoxy and the chosen people, while they did not know that God had already left them, and they called Jesus a cult. Just like Adams’ world that was destroyed through the flood, they still considered themselves the orthodoxy and God’s chosen people. But they did not know themselves as they called Jesus a cult and demon-possessed for not being one with them.
Jesus explained to them that they had become the children of Satan and that they must be reborn to enter into the kingdom of heaven, but they did not perceive this. The previous-Israel  did not know that they became a part of the gentiles by worshipping the gentiles gods, and treated Jesus as a sinner and crucified him.


At the First Coming, Jesus sowed the seed of God which was the secrets of heaven, and made a new covenant with his blood that he will return to reap the fruits of the seeds that were sown (Mt 13:24-30, Mt 26:26-29, Heb 8:10) as he took up the sins of all the people and left. This is the era of the gospel of heaven established through Jesus and the twelve disciples, the era of Spiritual Israel.

● Betrayal of Spiritual Israel, and Creation of New Spiritual Israel
Jesus left in the clouds and said, ‘Will I find faith on the earth when I return?’ (Lk 18:8). Spiritual Israel (era of the previous-heaven) that began through Jesus at the First Coming came to its end as  it became corrupt (Mt 24:29, Rv 6), and God’s new kingdom is created in today’s era of the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation, the time of the Second Coming, through the Promised Pastor (the one who overcomes in Rv 2, 3, the messenger who speaks on behalf of Jesus in Rv 22:16). This is New Spiritual Israel (era of the latter-heaven).

After his Ascension, Jesus gave us the Book of Revelation through his disciple, John. This book is a comprehensive summary of the New Testament and what was to be fulfilled in the future. In today’s era, about 2,000 years after, the promises of Revelation were fulfilled at the ends of the earth, in Republic of Korea in the East in Asia. Jesus sent his messenger for the churches to testify to these (the fulfillment of Revelation) (Rv 22:16).In the Book of Revelation, there are the events of harvesting (Rv 14) and sealing (Rv 7). A new kingdom is created through the firstfruits who are gathered through such events (Rv 14:1-5). But in Republic of Korea, a land overflowing with grace, the winds of sin and evil are blowing ever so strongly as the dragon’s pastors under the heavens are all gathered there (Rv 16). For this reason, the winds of sin and wickedness are blowing the most strongly here at this place where grace is overflowing. Evil spirits and their pastors do not stop using every possible means to carry out their wickedness. They have no concern for God, or Jesus, or their will, or the promises of the Bible.
At the end of the age, the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands represents all the Spiritual Israelites (Rv 1:20)—otherwise referred to as the tabernacle of heaven in Rv 13:6. This tabernacle received the mark from the pastors of the gentile gods (the group of the dragon, the beast with seven heads and ten horns) on their foreheads and hands, and they worshiped those pastors. This event caused the stones (churches) of the temple to be thrown down with no stone left on another. The chosen people, who were like the sun, moon, and stars, and who were once part of the tabernacle of heaven, were expelled from heaven because of their sin of becoming one with the gentile gods (Rv 6; Rv 13). Furthermore, all nations fell by becoming one with the gentiles and by drinking the wine of adulteries (Rv 17; Rv 18). Today’s Spiritual Israelites claim to have received the holy spirit, and they think of themselves as God’s chosen people and the orthodoxy, despite betraying God and being one with the gentile dragon. Although the Lord has sent his messenger who speaks on behalf for the churches, the Spiritual Israelites are accusing him of being a heretic.
They were defeated by the word of truth, the word of testimony (Rv 12). It has been plainly revealed that they are the pastors of Satan. They sinned against God by betraying Him. They accepted the mark from the dragon and worshiped him. They drank the wine of adulteries, and all nations fell because of this wine. God had already left them, and they were expelled from heaven (Rv 6). The Spiritual Israelites, however, do not realize such situations. They are stubborn in claiming to be the orthodoxy. Today is no different from the times of Adam, Noah, Moses, and Jesus’ First Coming.
The corrupt generation passed away and a new generation began in each and every era. Today, too, a corrupt generation (Spiritual Israel) came to an end as promised in the New Testament, and a new generation began. New Spiritual Israel has begun as it fought and overcame the dragon (Rv 12). The twelve tribes have been established by harvesting and being sealed according to the promises. This is the kingdom of promise. This is the new kingdom purchased by the blood of Jesus. Those who perceive this will obtain salvation.
Amen!

The Identity of the Betrayers

The Identity of the Betrayers


Main reference: Jude, 2 Pt 2

How can we know the identity of the betrayers?

The book of Jude is the last of the New Testament Epistles. Jude was a brother of James, which makes him one of Jesus’ five brothers (Ju 1:1; Mt 13:55).

The motive behind writing this Epistle was to urge people to contend for the faith and to make known the identity of those who change the grace of God into a license for immortality, and of those who deny Jesus (Ju 1:3-4).

Jude first makes references to the angels who betrayed to explain about these betrayers in the physical realm. He likened such people unto unreasoning animals (Ju 1:5-10). In Ju 1:11, the explanation continues referring to Cain and Balaam who betrayed. It says in verses 17-19 that those people are the men who divide them, who follow mere natural instincts, and do not have the spirit. Jude also urged us to remember what the apostles foretold us.

This is how Jude referred to those who deny the Lord and deceive the believers in verse 4.

Peter, one of Jesus’ best disciples, also talked about the angels who betrayed in 2Peter 2, and then made known the identity of deceivers, referring to the example of Balaam who betrayed. Regarding Balaam who betrayed, Peter stated, “A man is a slave to whatever has mastered him,” (2Pt 2:19). He continued on saying, “If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: ‘A dog returns to its vomit,’ and, ‘A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud,’ ” (2Pt 2:20-22).

In addition to these explanations, Jesus said in Mt 12:43-45, “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house (a man) I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first.” Jesus demonstrated how this wicked generation will be like this. In fact, this was an explanation concerning the betrayers today.

God showed to Zechariah Satan standing at the side of Joshua (Zec 3:1). In the same way, the betrayer that the main reference chapter is talking about had been once with Satan before he came to Shincheonji, the kingdom promised in the New Testament. When he was anointed at Shincheonji, Satan left him, and the angel of God stayed with him just as he did to Joshua in Zec 3. The angel of God, however, left him when he left his position of authority and abandoned his home, Shincheonji; to form a sect like Cain and Balaam and betrayed by forsaking the way of righteousness. Due to such actions of betrayal, Satan who had been with him in the past takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself and goes into him. For this reason, the man carries out actions seven times more wicked than his previous actions. If anyone wants to verify this, please take a look at the actions of those who left Shincheonji. Then it will be clearly made known.

Peter refers to such betrayers as dogs and sows. Just as stated in 2Pt 2:19-22, betrayers return to their old places (old churches), and they dwell there. They accept the lies, which they had once eaten in the past and vomited out. If these are their actions, they are no different from dogs and sows, aren’t they? They left their positions of authority and abandoned their own home. They formed a sect and returned to their old places to reside. They are eating old things (lies) once again. They have accepted the old demons and have become their slaves to sabotage Shincheonji. These actions are identical to the actions recorded in the word.

Jesus stated in Jn 12:48, “That very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.” Furthermore, it says in Rv20:12, “The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.” People must reflect their actions upon the Bible and know between righteousness and wickedness. In doing so, people will know the identity of the righteous and the betrayers.

The believers who have their hope in heaven must use the Bible as a standard in carrying out their life of faith. Heaven is not a place to where anyone can just go. It is only those who are promised (those who are harvested, sealed, and registered in the 12 tribes) that can go to heaven. Those who deny the unprecedented fulfillment of Revelation and the work of harvest are like the serpents, the Pharisees (Mt 23:33). Denying such work becomes proof that he is a pastor of Satan.

Shincheonji is the world of the new heaven created after the end of the corrupt world of the first heaven. We in Shincheonji are a new, reborn creation who will receive the inheritance of God as his children.

The Betrayers, Destroyers, and The Savior in the New Testament

The Betrayers, Destroyers, and
The Savior in the New Testament


Main reference: 2 Thes 2:1-12 (Rv 13, 12, 17)

Who are the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior in the New Testament? When and where do they appear? One cannot attain salvation unless he knows the true identities of these three entities.

At the time of Adam, the betrayers were Adam and Eve. The destroyer was the snake, and the savior was Noah. At the time of Jesus’ First Coming, the betrayers were Judah and Jerusalem (the chosen people). The destroyers were the snakes, the Pharisees (Mt 23:33). The savior was Jesus. At the time of the Lord’s Second Coming, the betrayers are the chosen people of the tabernacle of heaven (Rv 13). The destroyers are the pastors from the Stewardship Education Center. The savior is the one who overcomes (Rv 2, 3, 12).

Just as it was in the times of Adam and Jesus’ First Coming, the events of betrayal, destruction, and salvation at the Second Coming—at the time of the New Testament’s fulfillment—all take place within one era. Those who know this will recognize it, but those who do not know this will not be able to. In addition, history and eras change due to these events, and thus, the changed history and eras serve as testimonies that testify about the betrayal, destruction, and salvation. The events of the betrayal, destruction, and salvation were prophesied, and these prophecies have been proclaimed for a long period of time. The New Testament has been proclaimed for about 2,000 years since Jesus’ First Coming. When these events fulfilled, however, they did within a short period of time. Furthermore, the events took place in one location. God, Jesus, and heaven have also come to one place. How can the people of the world fathom this?

The prophecies concerning this betrayal, destruction, and salvation have been preached to the ends of the earth (refer to Mt 24:14). Since what was yet to be fulfilled was proclaimed to the whole world, what has been fulfilled must also be made known to the whole world. How many people in this world would know this fulfillment of the prophecies through the Bible? And how many would be anticipating this fulfillment?

It is inevitable that one world passes away and another comes. The new world must become fruitful, increase in number, subdue this world, and rule over it. This is the work that must soon take place in each era and it is the work of healing of all nations. There is only one place—the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony in Revelation 15 where those who have been victorious are gathered—that all nations in this world must go to and worship. There is only one pastor, the one who overcomes, that plays the role of the savior and that has received the scroll of the revealed word. What is more, there is also only one place, the twelve tribes of Mount Zion, where people are harvested to, and where the new song (the seminary of revelation, the revealed word that testifies about the physical fulfillment) is taught and learned. This is also the only place where the will of God is fulfilled here on earth as it is in heaven. It is only the Mount Zion center (Zion Christian Mission Center) where the tree of life is yielding twelve kinds of fruit every month. It is also only this place, the twelve tribes of Mount Zion, upon which God, Jesus, and the heaven of the spiritual realm have descended.  

In this era (of Revelation), who are the betrayers? How can we know if someone is a betrayer or not? The betrayer was the tabernacle that initially belonged to God. The tabernacle is otherwise referred to as a church or a temple. This temple was the tabernacle that prepared the way, which God appointed as the representative of all the churches. In order to interfere with this, Satan (Satan’s pastor) enters into this tabernacle. He becomes a member of this tabernacle just like Nicolas at the time of the First Coming (Acts 6:5). He first follows the messengers of the Tabernacle Temple, but his true nature is revealed later. This pastor of Satan deceives the messengers (the pastors) of the tabernacle. He also teaches the congregation members his own doctrines (the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil) just as in the time of Adam. The pastors and the congregation members of the tabernacle fail to keep the word of God. They are deceived by Satan just as Adam was and as a result, they become submissive to Satan. It was the New Testament, the words of the book of Revelation that the believers should have kept at this time.

The chosen people at the tabernacle were deceived just as recorded in Revelation 2. Nicolas, the pastor of Satan, brought gentile pastors (the group of the dragon, the beast with seven heads and ten horns) to the tabernacle just as illustrated in Revelation 9. In doing so, this pastor of Satan seized the ecclesiastical authority, the tabernacle, and its congregation members for his own purpose. This is how the chosen people were deceived and came to betray God, as in accordance with Revelation 13; and because they betrayed, the chosen people were destroyed by the deceivers in this chapter. The destroyers are those who did the work of deceiving and destroying, just as Revelation 2 and 13 explain. Deuteronomy 28 expresses that there are seven pastors who destroy, and there are also seven messengers (seven stars) who are destroyed. The congregation members who followed these seven messengers (pastors) betrayed God the same by following their seven pastors. The church and the congregation members then became the possessions of the destroyers. In this way, one can get to know the identities of the betrayers and the destroyers. In other words, the betrayers and the destroyers have appeared in accordance with the Bible (the prophecies), and the events of betrayal and destruction have also taken place in accordance with the Bible. The evidence to prove this is this very word (the prophecies) and the physical realities that have appeared in accordance with it.

In the midst of the destruction of God’s tabernacle churches, who is the savior? The savior is the one who appears in Revelation 12. He is the one who has seen the betrayers and the destroyers in the location of Revelation 13, and the one who testifies about these events. In the location where these events (all the chapters of Revelation) occurred, a male child was spiritually born from God’s pastor in front of the pastor (of the dragon) with the seven heads and ten horns. This male child, along with the brothers who became one with him, fought against and overcame the enemies, the pastors from the dragon’s group, with the promised blood of Jesus and the word of their testimonies—what they have seen and heard. The dragon was expelled, and then came salvation and the kingdom of God. This is the proof that the male child is the savior (refer to Rv 12:10-11).

This one who overcomes receives the blessings promised in Revelation 2 and 3. It is through those blessings that he can save, rule over, and judge all nations.

If their actions and order of appearance (of the betrayers, destroyers, and the savior) are identical to the prophecies, then they must be the physical realities of the prophecies. Whether it is the betrayers or the destroyers, whoever is defeated in the war scatters and flees into seven directions (Dt 28). The one who is victorious, in contrast, becomes New Israel and establishes the twelve tribes. This is what the book of Revelation in the New Testament testifies (refer to Rv 2 ~ 3, 7, 12). The entire book of Revelation is concerning the events of the betrayers, destroyers and the savior. Hence, Revelation is enough evidence to testify about these entities. For such reasons, in order to attain faith, one must first know (the book of) Revelation, and also the physical entities at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment.

The sixty six books of the Bible and the 6,000 years of God’s work come to their grand finale as Revelation is fulfilled. The eternal kingdom of God, heaven, is also fulfilled here on earth. Those who believe in this and are sealed will live with the Lord for eternity in this place (Rv 21:1-4; 22:1-5).

Amen!

Glory in Heaven & Peace on Earth

Glory in Heaven & Peace on Earth


Main references: Lk 2:14, Lk 19:38-42

What is glory in heaven and peace on earth? It is the end of sin and wickedness, and of both physical and spiritual war. It is the coming of world peace and restoration of light. It was also the message that an angel passed on to shepherds at the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem (Lk 2:14).

Lk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.

Jesus’ disciples also offered praise with the same content (Lk 19:35-38).

Lk 19:35-38 The whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

Having heard this word, the snakes (Mt 23:33), the Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" Jesus replied to them, "I tell you. If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he 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” (Lk 19:41-42). He continued on saying, “The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you” (refer to Lk 19:43-44; Mt 24:1-2).

Because of this word Jesus was teaching, the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the leaders among the people were looking for the means to kill Jesus (Lk 19:47-48). Is today not like this? They were persecuting Jesus and labeling him as a heretic, a troublemaker, and a demon-possessed person, just to cover up their faults, shortcomings, and their shamefulness. Roughly 2,000 years have passed by. What about today? Jesus spoke about how there would be betrayers, destroyers, and a savior regarding today. He also stated that not one stone of the temple would be left on another, and that the destroyer would stand in the holy place. At that time, the pastors in the temple and their congregation will receive the mark from the destroyers and worship them. Whoever does not worship them will get killed. Those who kill people will think, “This is the way to offer a service to God.” If a savior appears in the midst of this situation, how intensely he will get persecuted! It becomes obvious how people will persecute the saviour at that time.

This is the small and narrow path of salvation. It is not as easy as we think to attain salvation without understanding the history of 6,000 years and the prophecy regarding today. Firstly, one must understand the word of the prophecy in the New Testament. Secondly, one must recognize the betrayers and the destroyers through the recorded promised word. Thirdly, one must know the promised savior.

Such work is the will that God is going to accomplish, but people are being like dim lamps. They are carrying out their life of faith with incomplete faith, and they attend church habitually just as they always have been doing. This is why corruption has slipped into people without them recognizing it. Darkness has covered their hearts and thoughts so that they will not receive the revelation (i.e. the revealed word). Even if salvation belongs to God, how can it enter into people if their hearts are shut?

At a time like this, one understands and appears as the saviour. He puts his life on the line and fights with the truth. He overcomes with the blood of Jesus and the word of his testimony (Rv 12). This person is the savior whom God acknowledges. It is only when one overcomes that he can retrieve what was lost. It is only when one overcomes that he can save those who have been held captive. It is also only when one overcomes that he can establish God’s kingdom. One must overcome the devil, the world, and himself. One must know God’s promise, the New Testament, and he must see what is of heaven in order to establish on earth just as it is done in heaven (Mt 6:10; Rv 21).

Just as the promise with Abraham was fulfilled at the time of Moses, and just as the promises through the Old Testament prophets were fulfilled at the time of Jesus, one must know how Jesus’ promise (the New Testament) will also be fulfilled today at the time of the one who overcomes. The one who fulfills it is the one who has promised it. The messenger who speaks on behalf sees what has been fulfilled, and he testifies about it. No one can testify about the fulfillment without having seen, heard, or known it. God recorded what was yet to be fulfilled as prophecies in the Bible. If the recorded promise has been fulfilled, the book of prophecy serves as a testimony for the promise (the prophecy). What serves as a testimony for the prophecy is the fulfilled physical reality. Furthermore, what serves as a testimony for the promised pastor who testifies about the fulfillment is the fulfilled physical entities (Dt 18:18-22). Many pastors have interpreted the book of prophecy in different ways according to their own thoughts, but their interpretations lack credibility because they do not have the fulfilled physical entities.

Two thousand years ago at the time of the First Coming, Jesus stated how peace was hidden from the eyes of the people in Jerusalem. It was hidden from Jerusalem because Satan killed all the spirits of the saints in the Jerusalem temple through the snakes, the Pharisees. It was also because they hated Jesus, the messenger of peace, and his words of peace. Just as it says, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men,” world war will only end when religious war—in which people dispute with one another, claiming to have the truth—comes to an end. This is going to happen as the truth overcomes, and religions are unified through the truth. War will come to an end as Satan, the spirit of wickedness, is seized and locked up. It will be glory to God and peace to men as the God of peace retrieves the world he created and reigns over it. This is how we send away the old and welcome the new. This is truly a good season.

Today the whole world desires peace, and people are helping to have this accomplished. Everyone longs for the culture of heaven, peace, and restoration of light. We have uncovered the shroud that enfolded people, and we are accomplishing world peace.

Today the truth has triumphed over the world. Peace will come to each person as Satan, the dragon, is captured and locked up, and as the God of peace reigns. Peace and restoration for you and me. Let us offer glory to our God.

Amen!

Pastors Who Did Not Believe in Every Generation & the Persecution

Pastors Who Did Not Believe
in Every Generation & the Persecution


Main reference:  Is 1
(further reference:  Acts 7:51-53; Mt 23; Mt 5:11-12; Lk 20; 1 Kgs 11)

In every generation, why do the pastors not believe, and what is the reason they lie, and persecute?

As written in Ex 19:5-6, God made a covenant through Moses with the Israelites, whom came out of Egypt. The content of the covenant was; If you keep my covenant, you will become God's kingdom and priests and a holy nation. However, as written in 1 Kgs 11, they bowed down to the gentile gods during the time of Solomon, and as a result, the nation had been divided into north and south. Eleven tribes became gentiles as North Israel, and in Jerusalem in the south, Judah was the only tribe left. As written in Is 1, according to God’s words of 1 Kgs 11, Judah and Jerusalem were both captured by the gentiles.

In order to save these people, God prophesied numerously through the Old Testament prophets about the future of Judah and Jerusalem and made it known to His people that Jesus, the saviour, would come. However, the pastors, who had become Satan's gentile pastors, had cruelly killed the prophets, whom prophesied. Regarding this, it says in Jer 31 and Hos 6 that the people broke the covenant like Adam.  At a time like this, Jesus came and carried out the work of salvation with the twelve disciples, but the pastors and elders at that time did not believe. Instead, they treated Jesus and his disciples like the Old Testament prophets by labelling them a cult, persecuting them, and killing them.  Amongst them, who is the true pastor and who is the false pastor?  Who is God's pastor and who is the devil's pastor?  As could be seen from the Bible, the prophets, the apostles, and Jesus came to the nation that had become Satan's nation, to the pastors who had become Satan's pastors, to the people who had become Satan's people, and fulfilled the Old Testament and proclaimed about what was fulfilled. However, Israel did not realize what kind of situation they were in and they thought they were the righteous, chosen people. Jesus and the disciples, who had come into this kind of world, promised what is stated below and were killed.

< The promise for the Second Coming:  Jesus would come like a thief in the night and harvest (Mt 24).
Those who are harvested would be sealed in the name of God and Jesus (Rv 7).
God's kingdom, the twelve tribes, would be created through those who are sealed (Rv 14).
If anyone adds to or takes away from the words of the book of Revelation, he would not be able to enter heaven and be cursed (Rv 22:18-19).
Only those whose names are recorded in the book of life are able to enter heaven (Rv 21:27).
The one who overcomes Satan's pastor would receive the blessings of Rv 2 and 3 (Rv 12). >

Who is the true believer--the one who believes in this word of prophecy or the one who doesn't believe? What is stated above is one of the most epoch-making and important content of the New Testament that gives hope to the believers. These prophecies have been fulfilled today in the Republic of Korea.  "I have proclaimed it." I have seen and heard the fulfilment, and I am testifying about the physical fulfilment of the prophecies as I have been commanded. For testifying this, there are persecutors, but are they true believers or from the devil? Are they God's pastors or the devil's pastors? Please judge for yourself. Are they not like the false pastors who killed the prophets and apostles?  Why do they not believe? Is this not proof that they do not believe in God or His Word (New Testament) (Rv 21:8)? Are they not like the priests and elders of Israel who did not believe even if Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and testified about it (refer to Lk 18:8; Rv 9:20-21)? Are they not the same as those who persecuted Jesus and labelled Jesus a cult? Will these people go to hell or to heaven? It is written that people will be judged according to their deeds as written in the books.  Please read Rv 20:12-15 and Jn 12:48.  These things are happening right before our very eyes. It is sad to see the false pastors, who are captured by the devil, and it is also sad to see the believers, who are captured by Babylon, the devil's kingdom, and do not know this fact. If they do not believe in the Bible, why do they carry it around?  It is a sad situation.  They are blind!

The chosen people, whose citizenship was in heaven (Phil 3:20) and who were referred to as the sun, moon, and stars of spiritual Israel (Mt 24:29; Rv 6:12-13), became dark and fell from heaven. The reason for this is because they were destroyed by Satan's pastor (Mt 24:15).  The reason why the sun and moon (pastor) could no longer shine light (Word) was because they were struck (Rv 8:12) by the authority of Satan's pastor, the destructor.  To say they fell from heaven means that they went from being citizens of heaven by the Holy Spirit to returning to the earth, (i.e. to flesh) and became a part of Babylon, the nation of demons, being captured and enslaved (Rv 17, 18).

This is the night of the religious world of spiritual Israel, and at this night-time, Jesus comes with the angels and harvests.  They come like a thief in the night to gentile Babylon where the believers are captured and discreetly bring them out of there.  This is the work of salvation and harvesting (refer to 1Thes 5:2; Rv 17:14, Rv 18:4).

If one truly believes in Jesus and his words of promise, one should realize that the promise has been fulfilled when he hears about the news regarding the work of harvesting and come running to the mountain.
The reason why "Those who believe in the New Testament” do not come running is because they do not believe in the promise.

Anyone who hears about the work of harvesting, sealing, and the creation of the promised kingdom, the twelve tribes, and anyone who realizes that the promised prophecies are coming true and believes in this will come running.

Those who do not believe nor come and persecute instead do this because they have become the people of Babylon, the nation of demons.  Although they add to or take away from Revelation and do not have their names recorded in the book of life, they do not consider this seriously and think of themselves as orthodox.  This is proof that their faith is false.  If they heard that the New Testament prophecies have been fulfilled, they should put everything aside and come looking for the fulfilment.  This is what a believer should do.  Isn't this what believers hoped for and isn't this why believers carried out their lives of faith?
How can a dead life of faith and dead spirit regard this as precious?  "It is so heartbreaking."

As the pastors and the people of physical Israel, which had become gentile, did not believe even if Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and proclaimed about it, today, the reason why the pastors and the church members do not believe is because a different water has been diluted and mixed.  "Please take a look at Is 1:22."

God offered his Son on the cross for the new kingdom of the New Testament. Jesus, the Son, sacrificed himself and shed his blood.  This was proclaimed for two thousand years and the promised kingdom has been fulfilled as mentioned above. We are raising our voices and asking people to believe this (refer to Rv 5:4-10).
If people do not believe like the First Coming, then God, Jesus, and the spirits will strike the ground and wail.

Let us believe.  Let us unite.  Let us become the promised kingdom.  "The Counselor is crying out." We at Shincheonji know the scriptures and reality of each generation through the Spirit of Truth, who comes in the name of the Lord, and this is why we are teaching again through the Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced Level teaching materials (refer to 1 Cor 2:10, Jn 16:13).

For those who have not been harvested, we help them to be harvested.  For those who have not been sealed, we help them to be sealed.  For those who have added to or taken away from the words of Revelation, we help them not to do so.  For those who are not part of the promised kingdom, the twelve tribes, we help them to become a part of the twelve tribes.  For those whose names have not been recorded in the book of life, we help them to have their names recorded in the book of life.

Should we call Shincheonji, who is doing this work, a cult?  Or should we thank them? Is there anything more precious than this for a believer?
We have sent letters urging repentance and made known these facts to pastors in Korea and all over the world, and therefore, they will not be able to make an excuse by saying they did not hear about it on the day of judgment (refer to Jn 15:22).

The words of the messenger, the Advocate, are the words of Jesus, and the words of Jesus are the words of God, the Father (Jn 16:8-15).

The words that were testified were the promised words of Revelation, that is, life that was conveyed.  If one does not believe, it does not mean they do not believe in the words of the messenger, the Advocate.  It means one does not believe in Jesus' words, that is, no believing in God's words. Those who believe will receive salvation.  Those who do not believe will be thrown into the lake of fire for the sin of not believing.

Shincheonji earnestly prays that people will believe and receive salvation.

Amen!

Pastor, do you have the Bible?
When the disciples asked, Jesus said, "...this gospel will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come," (Mt 24:14).  He also said the time of the harvest is the end of the age (Mt 13:37-39).

The sun, moon, and stars (Gen 37:9-11, Mt 24:29, Rv 6:12-13) turning dark and falling, and the temple being destroyed with not one stone left on another is the end of spiritual Israel.  It is making known that the generation of the church of spiritual Israel has come to an end. Please do not neglect words of advice that are given at this time as well as the words that are spoken on behalf of Jesus.
The hearts of the pastors living at the end of the age are like the sun that cannot shine light.

Our branch is located in Cape Town, and therefore, in order to go to heaven and attain eternal life, please throw away yourself and with a heart to be born again, please study. It was very difficult to say these words to you, Pastor. This is because you are a pastor of stature.
I ask you earnestly.  You have not learned anything here because of time. Please try to lower yourself once, become a layman, and try studying. There are countless lives depending on you.

- Attachment  2 -

Dear Pastor Barry Isaacs,

Pastor Barry Isaacs, how are you doing?
I write this letter as I envision you in my mind.
I fear that we were lacking in our hospitality in the midst of a hectic schedule.

Our prayers are continually with you.

Pastor Isaacs, I liked your facial expressions and your voice.
If you click on the two Internet broadcasting links (www.scj.tv) and the two links of "The Correct Understanding of Shincheonji" (correctunderstandingofshincheonji.wordpress.com/tag/correct-understanding-of-the-bible-and-shincheonji/), you will be able to see more information.  Pastor Isaacs, I, too, have thrown everything away and I am doing God's work as my life. Let us forgive, love, and bless one another and act in accordance to the Lord's will.
There is nothing to look back at a world that is passing away.

Our branch is available in Cape Town and so I would like to request that you would humble yourself like a child, who is not yet mature, and with a heart that desires to be born again, please listen from Lesson 1 of the Introductory Level.

If you graduate after the Advanced Level, God will be with you.
I have enclosed an attachment.  Please read it.
I pray that the grace of the Lord be with you abundantly.

Manhee Lee

Church of Jesus, Calvin’s Presbyterian Church, and Shinchonji Church of Jesus

Church of Jesus, Calvin’s Presbyterian Church,
and Shinchonji Church of Jesus



Main reference: Matthew 5

    The teaching of the Church of Jesus is the education, which God is with. It is the education of heaven that brings the dead to life, grants the forgiveness of sin, resurrects people, makes people born again, and leads people from death to life. Calvin (1509-1564), the founder of the Presbyterian Church, received the authority from people in Geneva. He used his predestination theory to murder people. He also denied God’s and Jesus’ book of Revelation. Shinchonji Church of Jesus keeps the new covenant by having the Bible as its standard. It is creating God’s will here on earth just as it is done in heaven. It forgives, loves, and blesses others. It also educates people with the new song (the revealed word, the word that testifies about the physical fulfillment of the New Testament).

There are a few Christian denominations in this globe that lack the word. The one that lacks the word the most is the Unification Church, second is the Catholic Church, third is Calvin’s Presbyterian Church, and fourth is the Full Gospel Church. It has been said that Protestantism emerged from Catholicism due to its sin and untruth. This Protestantism, however, has also been divided into hundreds of denominations due to the same reasons. If one closely investigates such divided denominations, he will be unable to see any biblical basis. The names and the doctrines of those denominations were created by people’s personal judgments. Even the pastors and church workers were appointed by men’s will. Moses built the tabernacle according to what he had seen and heard in heaven. The Law with which he educated people was also granted by heaven. Likewise, Jesus went up to heaven, and he saw, heard, and received the command to teach the revelation (refer to Jn 3:13; Mt 11:27). The denominations that have been created since Jesus’ ascension are not like Moses and Jesus. They have been created merely based on men’s own will.

God and Jesus promised one pastor while they were still here on earth. Jesus also made promises regarding this one pastor even after his ascension. This pastor promised by Jesus is the pastor at the time of the Lord’s second coming. He is someone who overcomes just like Jesus (Jn 16:33; Rv 2, Rv 3, 12:11). It was promised in the Bible that the spirit of truth, the counselor, who comes in the name of Jesus, will be working in the promised pastor (Jn 14:16-17, 26) just as God was working in Jesus at the first coming (Jn 14:10-11). It was promised in Revelation 2 and 3, what God had granted Jesus will also be given to the promised pastor. If someone does not have the blessings promised in Revelation 2 and 3, he cannot become the promised pastor. Nor can salvation and the kingdom exist. Whether someone is a false pastor or a true pastor can be proved by whether or not that person has received the blessings in Revelation 2 and 3. No one can attain salvation at the Lord’s second coming, not even one person, unless they go through the promised pastor. Whoever knows the Bible will speak the same word as this.

At the Lord’s second coming when the Spiritual Israelites have faced their end, the pastors and the congregation members of this world claim to have received salvation and the holy spirit. They also claim they are the orthodoxy and will go to heaven. They are mistaken because they neither know God’s will nor the Bible (Mt 22:29). They do not know how the world of their life of faith has come to an end, how God left them, and how they have turned into gentiles. Just like Adam’s family (people in Adam’s world) during Noah’s time and just like the Physical Israelites during Jesus’ first coming, people do not realize that God left them, and thus, their hearts and spirits have become night. They do not know they have fallen from heaven just like the sun, moon, and stars that have gone dark and have fallen from the sky. The purpose of the Lord’s second coming is to harvest and seal good crops from Jesus’ field (the church), which he sowed good seeds, to create God’s new kingdom (the twelve tribes of Shinchonji) and the priests (the 144,000). It is also to make the great multitude who streams after the 144,000 to be God’s people.

 In the midst of the world where the religious world has faced its end of the age, Shinchonji transcends national borders, races, and religions. Just like the light, rain, and air from the sky, Shinchonji is uniting everyone as one through the same love and same grace. Heaven is being created by sealing those who are born of God’s seed because all the religions in this world have become corrupt. This is the New Testament, and it is the purpose of God. Regarding the creation of God’s new kingdom, people do not realize it just like how people did not understand until the flood came and destroyed them all during Noah’s time (refer to Mt 24:37-39).

Not only has the promised pastor at the Lord’s second coming mastered the Bible, but he also knows its purpose and the fulfillment of all the chapters of the New Testament. At a time like this, there are people who will attain salvation and people who will not. Those who will attain salvation will be able to receive salvation not just through any churches or pastors in this world, but only through one person, the promised pastor. This has been the same in each and every generation. The promised pastors have existed in each era, and people have gained salvation only through those pastors. How can one recognize who the promised pastor is? One can recognize it by the work he is carrying out and by the fulfilled work. In other words, one can recognize the promised pastor by examining if he fights against and overcomes the designated people and carries out the work of harvesting, sealing, and creating of the twelve tribes.

The saints in the era of the New Testament have been anticipating the fulfillment of God’s promises in the New Testament (the work of salvation and the appearing of the savior). Since the New Testament has been fulfilled, it is the time for them to believe in it. Whoever refuses to believe in the words of the new covenant, which was promised through the blood, and whoever refuses to believe in the physical fulfillment of the New Testament despite it being made known to them, will be unable to blame others even if they receive the condemnation of hell. We in Shinchonji who are aware of this consequence are wholeheartedly praying for the salvation of all people.
