The Identities of God and the Dragon

                                             

                    The Identities of God and the Dragon





Main references: Rv 20:1-3; Gn 1:1; Ex 3:14

 God is a self-existent Creator who created the heavens, the earth, and all creations (Gn 1:1; Ex 3:14).  Therefore, He is the Father of the heavens, the earth, and all creations.

The dragon is a creation, a spirit that betrayed.  The dragon is the ancient serpent, Satan, and the devil (Rv 12:9, 20:2).  According to Gn 3:1, God called him, “the serpent,” one of the wild beasts He made.  And in Ezekiel 28 (NKJV), he was once the “anointed cherub that covered,” but he became the enemy of God as he betrayed and proclaimed himself to be God.  This cherub was a commanding angel in Eden, who walked in the midst of the fiery stones, adorned with every precious stone, full of wisdom, and was the seal of perfection.  A cherub has many soldiers of heaven under his command and has the authority to mobilize (command) the army of heaven.


The dragon, the serpent, is an entity that deceived Adam and Eve and ruled over God’s world for 6,000 years (Mt 4:8-9; Lk 4:5-6; Eph 2:2).  At the same time, God’s work of restoration to resolve this problem also lasted for 6,000 years.  Now that the dragon is captured and locked away today in the era of Revelation (Rv 20:1-3), the world is finally liberated and becomes God’s world, opening an era where only God reigns.


The dragon that took hold of the authority during Adam’s time hindered God’s work at the time of Adam, Noah, Moses, and the First Coming of Jesus.  He persecuted and condemned, stirred chaos and confusion among the people through deception, and even murdered.


The devil uses lies as his weapon.  He has been continuously lying since the time of Adam and Eve, because he wants to, and has to, become “God.”  He has been stealing and copying what belongs to the true God, mixing it with his own lies, and selling it deceitfully. 


The moments when the devil felt the most anxious and uneasy were the times when the prophets, who had the duty of fulfilling God’s work, appeared in each era to testify.  Why would the devil be afraid of the testimony of the messengers who speak on God’s behalf?  This is because the testimony of the messenger, whom God has sent, is true.  The devil has been testifying lies until today.  Thus, when God’s messenger appears and gives the true testimony, the devil and his pastors will be revealed as liars, and their words as lies.  Because of this, the devil will loathe even more the people God sends and will resolve in his heart to attack them, and even kill them, if possible.  Jesus, his disciples, and the Old Testament prophets, for example, were harmed by the devil, because they spoke true words and gave a true testimony.


As seen in the conversation between Jesus and the Jews in John 8, the Jews and the Pharisees were the people of Israel, but they have become one with the devil.  Unable to discern between the true God and the false god (devil), they received the devil’s spirit and worshiped him, thinking that he was the true God.  Ultimately, the devil became their father and they, his children.


I am a “person of heaven and earth (천지인: Chun-ji-in),” because I was born on earth with the seed of heaven.  Considering how a person is also a figurative heaven and earth, a “person of heaven and earth” is then, a new heaven and a new earth, a new “Chun-ji-in.”  This is the new creation reborn with the seed of heaven.


There is a pastor whom God is with, and there are pastors whom the devil (the dragon) is with.  The pastors who took control over Jerusalem at the First Coming were the pastors of the devil, the Pharisees.  We know, because the Lord called them, “snakes” (Mt 23:33).


Those who persecuted and killed the prophets (or pastors) sent by God in each era, were the pastors of Satan, whom the spirit of Satan entered (like Judas Iscariot).  The Bible proves this.


The people may have thought that the Israelite (Jewish) pastors who killed Jesus were pastors of God.  However, we can now understand that Satan entered the pastors and controlled them.


According to the events of Revelation that took place today, roughly 2,000 years after the First Coming, who are the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior?  These three entities appear in Revelation.  It is written, however, that no one in heaven or under heaven can know the meaning of Revelation before the seven seals on the sealed scroll are taken off (Rv 5).   Only Jesus opened the seven seals of this scroll, and only one person, the One Who Overcomes who has come in the position of Apostle John (New John), received and ate the open scroll.  Only one person received these words and witnessed what has been fulfilled according to the Word.  And as it is written in Rv 10, only one person, New John, was commanded to testify to what he saw and heard.


At that time, the chosen people (Spiritual Israel) all fell to the earth like the sun, moon, and the stars of the sky, and betrayed as recorded in Rv 13.  The destroyers who destroyed the betrayers were people with ecclesiastical authority, like the Pharisees who controlled Jerusalem.  The beast with seven heads and ten horns who destroyed the chosen people in Rv 13, were the pastors of the dragon.  Like the chief priests at the First Coming, they had much authority.  If one sees this event, yet still does not recognize it, the Bible becomes of no use for him.


At that time, the one who sent letters (to betrayers) urging for repentance (Rv 2, 3) according to the Lord’s command, is the savior who belongs to Jesus.  Like Jesus at the First Coming, he testifies to the words of the revealed scroll and to what he has seen and heard.  Who saves whom?  As described in Rv 17 and 18, the people who have been captured and held as captives by the pastors of the dragon, yet are not aware of it, are those who are liberated.


Why do people not believe in the Bible’s prophecies and in their reality?  They like to receive and drink the wine of adulteries, the venom of serpents, and the deadly poison of cobras from the pastors of Satan (Dt 32:31-33). But why do they reject the hidden manna and the fruit of the tree of life?  Do they not know that all nations have fallen from their wine of adulteries (the fruit of the tree of good and evil)?


Jesus sent his messenger to the churches to make this known (Rv 22:16).  Rejecting the messenger is like rejecting Jesus.  Those who do not accept him will not receive salvation, just like Adam’s families (at the time of Noah and Lot), and like Physical Israel at the First Coming of Jesus.


Come, and let us stand on the Way of righteousness before the messenger who has come with the Bible.  The Bible is the Word that God has given us so that we may be saved.  A person treats the promises in the Bible with contempt and refuses to believe in them, because the evil spirit of betrayals is blocking that person. 


Believing in one’s own pastor and his words, instead of God and His Word, is an incorrect faith (incorrect life of faith).   If one is not born with the promised seed of God, is not harvested, is not sealed, does not belong to the twelve tribes of the promised kingdom, has added to and subtracted from Revelation, and is not recorded in the book of life, where will he go—heaven or hell, death or life?


Despite his ignorance of the Word, the person who continues to treat the Bible with contempt and condemns others—where will he go?  Please think about the First Coming.  I am giving my whole heart and mind in prayer for all.

Faith and Food in Each Era


                                              

Faith and Food in Each Era

 

 Main reference: Mt 24 (Jn 6)


What are the proper faith and food in each of the eras?

 Starting from Adam’s era up to today, there were the eras of Adam, Noah, Moses, then Jesus’ First Coming; and there also is the era of Jesus’ Second Coming.

 What is the proper faith in each of the eras? There are prophecies and events of fulfillment in each of the eras, and believing in them is faith.

 There are two types of food: One is physical food, and the other is spiritual food. The food at the proper time (refer to Mt 24:45-47), which is the food that is given at the appointed time, is spiritual food and food of faith. The food at the proper time symbolizes the word that makes known the prophecy and its fulfilled reality at the time of the prophecy’s fulfillment.

 Matthew 24, today’s main reference, was a prophecy that was yet to be fulfilled. At the time of this prophecy (Mt 24)’s fulfillment, the food that believers must eat is the word (prophecy) of Mt 24 and its physical fulfillment that appears according to its very word.  

 God fulfilled the promise He had made with Abraham (Gn 15). The food that believers must have eaten at that time was the word of its prophecy (promise) and its physical fulfillment. Since the prophecies spoken to the Old Testament prophets were fulfilled during Jesus’ era, the food that believers must have eaten in that era was the Old Testament prophecies and the physical fulfillment Jesus fulfilled during his time. In John 6, Jesus’ flesh and blood were described as the bread of life (food). The flesh and blood symbolize the revelation/fulfillment of the Old Testament, and they were the spiritual food that believers must have eaten at that time. Jesus promised the prophecies in the New Testament roughly 2,000 years ago, and today they have been fulfilled in the Republic of Korea. The food that believers must eat in this era is the New Testament prophecies and the physical fulfillment that has appeared in accordance with those prophecies.

 This is the faith and food that God gives to believers in each era.

 If it were physical food, any food can be eaten regardless of eras, but it is different with spiritual food. If one still testifies to the Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment while the promised New Testament has been fulfilled, his testimonies cannot be the proper food at the time of the New Testament’s fulfillment. The proper food at the time of the New Testament’s fulfillment is the New Testament itself (prophecy) and its fulfilled reality. Today at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, one can attain salvation only by eating this food (the New Testament prophecies and their physical fulfillment).  

 Even if one has heard the testimony of the Old Testament and its fulfillment (figuratively eating that testimony), if he neither sees and hears the fulfillment of the New Testament, nor believes in it, he will be unable to eat the food given at the proper time. He will remain hungry. The food will pass by him as if he were in dark night. Since he will be unable to see and hear it, he will also be unable to believe it, and as a result, he will not acquire salvation.

 Jesus’ testimony 2,000 years ago was regarding the fulfillment of the Old Testament (Jn 19:30). His testimony at the Second Coming is regarding the fulfillment of the New Testament (Rv 21:6). Just as the Old Testament was fulfilled, the New Testament will be all fulfilled at the Lord’s second coming. After Jesus breaks and opens (Rv 6, Rv 8) the seals of the sealed scroll (Rv 5), he allows one person (the promised pastor, New John) in Rv 10 to receive and eat it. Furthermore, after Jesus fulfills all of the New Testament (the events of the entire book of Revelation), he shows the entire fulfillment and make it known to this one person (Rv 22:8). Jesus chooses this person (a pastor), who has eaten the revealed scroll and has seen all the physical fulfillment of the entire book of Revelation, and sends him to the churches as his messenger to testify to them what he has seen and heard (Rv 22:16). Is it not the obligation of the saints to believe in these promises?


The faith that God wants us to have according to His will is to hear from the one who has received and eaten the opened scroll of which Jesus broke all the seven seals, and who has seen all the events of that opened scroll. The Scripture states that it is only those who do this will that can go to heaven (Mt 7:21). Those who do not act according to this will cannot enter into heaven.

 Everyone who does not hear and eat this food of the physical fulfillment of Revelation in the New Testament will hunger, and they will be unable to believe in the fulfillment because they have neither heard it nor seen it.

 What is God’s objective in fulfilling the book of Revelation? It is to create God’s kingdom, priests, and the great multitude in white. Since Adam’s fall, there has not been God’s true kingdom, pastors, and people on this earth. Adam’s world, Noah’s world, Moses’ world all broke the covenants and became corrupt, and thus, they got destroyed. If Adam, or Noah, or the Israelites of Moses had kept the covenants with God, then God would not have needed to promise another era (Hos 6:7; Ex 19:5-6; Jer 31:31-32). But God promised in Rv 1:5-6, “… freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father …” This is the objective of Revelation.

 The Twelve Tribes God promised in Revelation is the kingdom of the promise. They are the priests and the white multitude. Whoever does not belong to the Twelve Tribes will be unable to attain salvation, not even a single person.

 Why do people not believe in the covenant, just like Adam and the Physical Israelites (Hos 6:7)?

 Believing in the physical fulfillment of Revelation, the promise of the New Testament, and the words of Jesus’ messenger who speaks on behalf of Jesus, is the same as believing in Jesus’ words (refer to Rv 1:1-3). Those who believe will inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life.

 Amen!

Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, the Messenger who Overcome (One who Overcomes), and the Life of Faith of the Believers who belong to Each Era

                            Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus,

       the Messenger who Overcame (One who Overcomes),

 and the Life of Faith of the Believers who belong to Each Era





Main reference: Mt 7

 
 
▶ The World of Adam and the World of Noah (Adam’s 9th Descendant)

During Noah’s time, Adam’s family thought that they were the only orthodoxy that God created.  They did not realize that they sinned against God, that they became deceived by the snake, that they sided with the snake, that they were banished from the presence of God, and that God left them.  Also, they did not know that God was with Noah.  Hence, they rejected Noah as he tried to evangelize to them, and they were destroyed by the flood.
 

▶ The World of Noah and the World of Moses (Israel)

Although Noah’s family (the people of Noah’s world) saw Adam’s world betray and become destroyed by the flood, they too sinned like Adam (Gn 9).  After this, God went to Abraham, Noah’s 10th descendant, and prophesied about events that will happen in the future (Gn 15).  After living in Egypt for 4 generations, Jacob’s family came out of Egypt according to the prophecy, entered the land of Canaan, destroyed the Canaanites, and lived there. 

      After this, Israel was destroyed, for King Solomon worshiped gentile gods (1Kgs 11); as written in Isaiah 1, only one tribe remained—Judah and Jerusalem. Eventually, Judah and Jerusalem was also destroyed by the gentiles. 
 

▶The World of Physical Israel and the World of Jesus

Jesus was sent to Physical Israel (the people) (refer to Jn 17:3) according to God’s promise (Old Testament) like Noah and Moses.  However, like Noah’s family, Physical Israel thought they were the only ones who were saved from Egypt and have entered the land of Canaan.  They did not know that they received destruction for worshiping gentile gods and that God left them and was with Jesus.  Instead, they insulted and accused Jesus of being a cult.  Jesus told the Physical Israelites that they were like their ancestors who persecuted the prophets God sent in the past (Mt 23).

During Noah’s time, Adam’s family only believed in Adam and in his words.  During Moses’ time, Noah’s family only believed in Noah and in his words.  During Jesus’ time, the Israelites (Moses’ family) only believed in Moses and in his words.  As shown above, in each era, the previous world believed, but it did not believe in the promise of the new era.  If Physical Israel believed in God’s prophecies of the Old Testament (promise) instead of believing in the corrupted world of Moses, they would not have killed Jesus.

Today, the pastors and congregation members of the church of Jesus (Christianity and Catholicism) believe in Jesus, the cross, and in various images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.  They say, “Lord, lord,” without knowing or believing in the prophecies of the New Testament (promise) that Jesus spoke about.  How can they be considered as the people who do God’s will?  If one truly believes in God and Jesus, shouldn’t they also believe in the things that God and Jesus promised (prophesied)?  There are many who cry out to Jesus, “Lord, lord,” but it is hard to find someone who truly believes in Jesus (Lk 18:8).  The one who truly believes in Jesus is the one who keeps his promise.  Like Adam, Eve, Ham, King Solomon, and the priests and people of Physical Israel, one cannot be a true believer for saying, “Lord, God.”

 

▶New Testament Prophecy about Spiritual Israel.  What is its physical reality?

Aren’t the corruptions of Spiritual Israel by far the greatest in the history of the past 6,000 years?  As it is written, Spiritual Israel became corrupt and betrayed; the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens (chosen people, Gn 37:9-11) fell to the earth (Mt 24:29; Rv 6:12-14), not one stone is left on another (Mt 24), they received the mark from the devil and worshiped him (Rv 13), all nations drank and fell from the wine of adulteries, and married the devil (Rv 17-18).   How can one say that this is not corruption?  They began with the spirit, but like Adam, they returned to flesh. 

Do you know what the wine of adulteries is—the wine that made all nations fall?  Why are the congregation members (believers of the world) not informed about this?  Haven’t the pastors drank this wine and offered it to their congregation members to drink just as Eve gave the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil to Adam?  Can they still be the orthodoxy?

While he was on this earth, and even after he departed, Jesus promised to send one pastor just as he (Jesus) was promised about in the Old Testament.  In the spirit, the Spirit of Truth who comes in the name of Jesus, the “another Counselor,” will come (Jn 14).  In the flesh, the pastor who gives the food at the proper time will come (Mt 24:45-47), and he is also promised about in Revelation 2-3, 12, 10, and 22:16. 

If the Physical Israelites at the time of the First Coming had perceived and believed in the Scriptures and in Jesus who came according to the Old Testament, rather than in Moses, they would have received salvation.  Likewise, there is salvation for the one who believes in the prophecies of the New Testament and in the pastor who has come according to that promise.  The one who truly believes in Jesus is the one who believes in his promise and keeps it.   Even if one claims to believe in Jesus, praises his name, and has a fervent faith, but does not believe in the pastor whom Jesus promised in the New Testament, there will be no salvation and no heaven for that person, and he/she will not be able to go to God and Jesus.  Please read verse by verse in Revelation 2-3 and see whether or not someone can receive salvation through other pastors apart from the one who overcomes. 

I (one who overcomes) am the messenger who received a command from Jesus after seeing and hearing the events of Revelation fulfill; I am the promised pastor sent for the churches (Rv 1:1-2, 22:16).   Can you believe?  Please, do not forget to read Revelation 12 and 2-3 to see the duty the one who overcomes has, and make much effort to receive salvation.   

There is not one pastor on this earth except for the one who overcomes who has mastered the Bible, who truly knows God’s will and acts according to it.  The pastors (and religious leaders) must set aside vanity and pride, humble themselves in obedience before the word, and carry a life of faith inside the Bible rather than outside.  They must offer their religions to God, and have all religions become one under God so that He can reign (Rv 19:6).   Perceiving this and repenting is the road to being born again and a road to salvation (Is 16:1, 1Cor 15:25-28, Rv 19:6).  I sincerely pray for this. 
 

Amen!

Shinchonji, to Know the meaning of this name specifically.


        Shinchonji, to know the meaning this name specifically


The full name of Shinchonji is this; "Shinchonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the
                                                            Testimony"

Then, let's start looking for the meaning of the full name of Shinchonji.

Shinchonji

Shinchonji is the expression of Korean pronunciation "New heaven new earth"
The expression "New heaven new earth" is appeared from revelation.

Rev 21:1
I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and there was no longer any sea.

The Biblical meaning of New heaven and new earth is the new tabernacle and new saints.

Just as Moses made a tabernacle on earth based on the patterns God had shown him from heaven,
the creation of Shinchonji on earth today is also based on what the promised pastor had seen in the
spiritual realm.

Maybe you know well the Lord's prayer.
There are this phrases among that, "your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"

Just, Shinchonji is the Kindom of God, which is created on earth today as it is in heaven.

Church of Jesus

Church of Jesus means that the Lord of temple of Shinchonji is Jesus as it is indicated in his name. 
On the other hand, Shinchonji belongs to Jesus, not world.

The Temple of the Tebernacle of the Testimony

The Temple of Tabernacle of the Testimony is the temple of those have seen, heard and testify the Revelation. It is also referring to the holy house where saints worship God. In addition, the Temple of Tabernacle of the Testimony is the promised temple where all nations must come to be healed and worship the Lord. (Rev 15:4-5)

The Conselor and the Promised Pastor

 

The Counselor and the Promised Pastor




In every generation God chooses one person as his promised pastor. That person must speak on behalf of God and obey the commands he is given. The Bible refers to this person speaking on behalf as the Counselor. This is what 1 Jn 2:1 means when it mentions “one who speaks in our defense.” This Counselor is both spiritual and physical—spirit and flesh. The spiritual Counselor (i.e. the Holy Spirit of truth) speaks God’s words on God’s behalf. The pastor chosen by God receives these words from the Spirit of the Counselor and speaks them to believers on behalf of God. Since the spiritual Counselor dwells within a person and uses that person to carry out its appointed task (Jn 14:16-17), the person (pastor) the holy spirit speaks through is the physical Counselor.

John the Baptist, who came in the name of Elijah, was actually referred to as Elijah in the scriptures (Mt 11:10-14, Mt 17:10-13). Jesus said seeing him was seeing God because God was with him and because he came in the name of God (Jn 5:43, Jn 12:44-45, Jn 14:9). The Counselor who has come in Jesus’ name is the spirit (word) of truth who teaches us the things of Jesus (refer to Jn 14:26, Jn 16:14-15). He is a teacher who protects us with grace and truth1. Can this holy spirit who is supposed to teach us do so floating through the air? The Spirit of the Counselor teaches us through a person. This is the same reason Jesus, with whom God’s spirit was residing, spoke on behalf of God as the “Wonderful Counselor.” The Spirit of the Counselor is sent by Jesus to speak on Jesus’ behalf through a person. This person, the one who overcomes promised in the New Testament, is the physical manifestation of the Counselor (Rv 2-3, Rv 10). He becomes New Spiritual Israel by overcoming, he establishes the 12 tribes (Rv 12, Rv 7), and he receives the blessings promised in Revelation 2 ~ 3. The one who overcomes is given the authority to judge and to rule all nations. He receives the food that leads to eternal life, and God, Jesus, and the holy city descend on him. He is even granted the authority to sit on Jesus’ throne with Jesus.

Therefore, opposing the Counselor, who is both spirit and flesh, is opposing God and Jesus. This Counselor testifies what he has seen and heard regarding the word of Revelation and the fulfillment of the New Testament prophecies (Rv 22:16). This Counselor is only preaching the revealed word at the location of the twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel—Shincheonji (refer to Rv 7, Rv 14, Rv 21). This is the only place where believers can learn the fulfillment of the prophecies. It is the only place believers must seek, find, and go to for worship. This is the will of God, and Christians must obey. Let’s confirm this for ourselves, learn the truth, and obtain salvation.

We are the messengers of heaven who have regained God’s kingdom from the devil. We are the people working to restore the kingdom God lost for the past 6,000 years. If we are the people of heaven, we must unite as one and work to fulfill our appointed tasks together.

God’s Thoughts (Wisdom) and the Devil’s Thoughts (Wisdom)

 
 

Main reference: Jn 8:41-47
 

How do God’s thoughts differ from the devil’s thoughts?

Just like how the fruit of the tree of life tastes different from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God’s thoughts and the devil’s thoughts are different. God’s thoughts allow one to know the reality through the Truth so that they can be born again from death to life. However, the devil’s thoughts create lies, and to hide his wrongdoings, he makes people believe those lies.  This is also known as deception.

The one who deceived Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3 and the Pharisaic pastors in Matthew chapter 23 were the serpents. Also the Nicolaitans in Revelation chapter 2 of the New Testament, also known as the dragon, the seven heads, and the ten horns from Revelation chapters 12 ~ 13, are the serpents. It is written in Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 that the dragon is the ancient serpent, the devil and Satan. Therefore, they are all the same entity. 

The reality of this serpent is the evil spirit and also the pastors who belong to the evil spirit. Because this false spirit (evil spirit) becomes one with the pastor and work together, they are both the same devil.

What is the evidence that proves that God’s words are true and the devil’s words are lies?

As we see in Genesis chapters 2 ~ 3, God’s words were true and the serpent’s words, which are the words of the devil, were lies. The reality that took place as a history, as found in the Bible, is the evidence.

The work of Abraham and Moses promised by God was fulfilled according to His prophecy, and it was proven to be true. The promises made through the Old Testament prophets were fulfilled at the time of Jesus (Jn 19:30), and they too were proven to be true. However, at the time of the First Coming, the pastors (serpents) of the devil, the Pharisees, fabricated lies to hinder the work of God.

The Israelites boasted that they were the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They called themselves the chosen people who belonged to God,  and they called God their father (refer to Ex 3:15-16; Jn 8:41, 54). However, Jesus revealed that the pastors of Israel who were persecuting him were liars. He said that their father was the devil, and they too were the devil.  He said this because their father was a murderer and a liar from the beginning, and they were lying just like their father (John chapter 8).

This serpent, the devil, lied to Eve during the time of Adam (Genesis chapter 3), he lied during the time of Jesus’ First Coming (John chapter 8), and he lied during the time of Jesus’ Second Coming (Revelation chapter 2).

Throughout the past 6,000 years of the 66 books of the Bible, we are able to see that the pastors who belong to the devil fabricated lies to persecute the messengers sent by God.  With those lies, they wrote books of commentaries and taught them to the church members, making them believe in those lies. They have been sowing the seed of the devil and creating their own army.  With their army, they have been persecuting and going against those who belong to God, God’s army.  

God’s thought was to sacrifice His one and only beloved son to save and bring back to life those who fell into sin. The devil’s thought is to create lies, so people cannot believe in God’s truth and eventually be led to death. This is similar to what the serpent did to Eve during the time of Adam.

God’s characteristics (qualities) are life and the truth. The devil’s characteristics are death and lies. These are the thoughts and the wisdom of each of the entities. In Revelation chapters 21 and 22, those who belong to God and those who are cursed appear. Those who are cursed are those who fabricate lies as recorded in Revelation 21:8 and 22:15. They are the devil, the pastors who belong to the devil, and it is recorded that they will be condemned in the burning lake of sulfur.

How did the pastors of Israel treat Jesus at the time of the First Coming? They slandered Jesus by calling him a cult, persecuted him, and they went as far as to kill him. How about today? Today is the time of the Second Coming of Jesus, the era of Revelation. The heavens and the earth saw and heard what the pastors of the world have done to the tabernacle temple and the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.

The one who overcomes in Revelation, like Jesus at the First Coming, becomes the tree of life. He receives the revelation of God, that is figuratively called the water of life as clear as crystal that flows from the throne of heaven, to give to all people without cost (Jn 14:6, 15:1, 5; Revelation chapter 22). The one who fabricated 14 different lies (content MBC PD Note reported and broadcasted in 2007) to persecute Shincheonji and those who teach commentaries made of lies, will enter the burning lake of sulfur. Also, those who add and subtract from Revelation will enter the flames of hell (Rv 22:18-19).

Regardless of who it is, If one desires to enter the Holy City where the tree of life is at, they must be born again through the water of life (Revealed Word) as clear as crystal that flows from the throne. They must wash the robes of their hearts and have their names recorded in the book of life (Rv 21:27, 22:1-5, 14). If one believes only in the words of the false pastors but do not believe in the words of promise that God gave, then they will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus entirely reveals the events of Revelation to the promised pastor (New John) and chooses him to be his messenger to speak on his behalf as the Advocate. He sends him to the churches to testify to the events of the entire book of Revelation (Rv 22:8, 16). Those who believe and receive this testimony are those who believe in Jesus, as it says in Revelation 1:2-3.

God’s new kingdom is created through those who believe in this and are sealed. This is the place where God dwells. This is the kingdom of heaven.

Amen!

The World before Moses,
the Old Testament, and the New Testament

 
Main references: 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles (History in the Bible), Old Testament and New Testament

 

Let us look at the history and its process in the Bible, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. 

The Five Books of Moses were written by Moses who recorded what he saw and heard.  The events of Genesis, the world of Adam, and the world Noah occurred before the time of Moses, so God spoke of these events to him. God spoke of the history (NKJV Gn 2:4), and in them are also hidden things, mysteries (Ps 78:1-2). 

If we look at the recorded words in Genesis chapter 1literally as the creation of nature, there will be many things that are hard to understand.  Jesus at the time of the New Testament also spoke of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven in parables, not in plain language (Mt 13:34-35).

The cause of the corruption of Adam’s world, Noah’s world, and Moses’ world, Abraham’s descendants, was Satan’s schemes.  The flesh, ignorant of the spirits and Satan’s deception, did not know and thus, committed sin.  Sin is not keeping God’s covenant, like Adam (Hos 6:7).  They sinned, because they were born in the hereditary line of a betrayer, a sinner.  Jesus told the Jews in John chapter 8, “You are doing the things your own father (devil) does” (Jn 8:41-44).  And he told them to be born again by God’s seed and spirit (Jn 3:1-6). They did Satan’s actions through the characteristics of the spirit of Satan and his deception. As a result, one must be reborn by God’s seed and spirit.  

Because sin could not be resolved with the law, God promised through Prophet Jeremiah, at the time of the Old Testament era, that He will do a new work and establish a new covenant (Jer 31:22, 27, 31). The Jesus planted this seed of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven and proclaimed that one must be born again by God’s seed and spirit to go to heaven.  The one who received God’s seed received God’s spirit through repentance.  

Unlike Adam’s world, Noah’s world, and Moses’ world, Jesus did not betray but went into martyrdom.  This is the difference between those born of the sinful seed of Adam (hereditary seed) and those born of God’s seed. Moses heard of the events of the past world from God (Ex 17:14, 24:4, 34:27), Jesus saw and heard from God and said that he existed before Abraham (Jn 8:26-28, 51-58). In spirit, he was in God and saw these things.  There is a difference between the one who was in God since the beginning and the one who heard a history from God.  However, Jesus revealed the hidden things of old in parables. 

Until now, these are the events that Moses heard and recorded from God, from Genesis until Jesus’ first coming.

The things Jesus spoke about were the fulfillment of the Old Testament and the prophecies in the New Testament in parables.  The new covenant (New Testament) is prophesied in parables, and this is the covenant made with the congregation members who believe in the New Testament. 

The world before Moses were the world of Adam, the world of Noah who was Adam’s 9th descendant, the world of Abraham who was Noah’s 10th descendant, and the world of Moses who was Abraham’s descendant.  Knowing the reality of the past and his present situation, what kind of resolutions did Moses make? And how did he approach and handle in keeping God’s covenant (Ex 19:5-6)? He must have known very well the actions of the people in the past world and reacted accordingly. 

Jesus of the New Testament knew very well the events that happened in the past 4,000 years.  The life of all mankind in the world depended on the resolution and decision of one man, Jesus.  Jesus did not betray like the pastors of the previous world, but he followed God’s will into martyrdom.  He was able to make this kind of resolution, because he was born of God’s seed and God’s spirit.  He knew very well that if he did not bear the cross, there would be no atonement of sin and salvation.  Furthermore, he would not be able to find back the world that had been handed over to Satan after Adam’s sin (Lk 4:5-6).  The words of the new covenant that Jesus spoke, the New Testament, was regarding the events that he will fulfill in the future. And as mentioned above, he spoke of these events that he will fulfill in parables.

The blood of cross and the covenant Jesus established with his blood (prophecy) takes into effect at the time of the New Testament fulfillment.  Who can completely know this? One can know from the Book of Revelation that without Jesus’ blood, there is no kingdom of God, no salvation, and no victory (Rv 12, 7, 5).  This lets us know that the world before Jesus and the world after Jesus are different from one another.  The reason there is the kingdom of God and salvation at the time of Revelation, is that Jesus’ blood that he shed takes into effect at the time Revelation is fulfilled.  With his blood, Jesus purchases the kingdom and priests (Rv 5:9-10). With that blood, there is the great multitude dressed in white (Rv 7:9-14) and with that blood, we are freed from sin (Rv 1:5-6). And by overcoming with that blood, there is God’s promised kingdom (Rv 12:10-11). There is no salvation if one does not know this promised kingdom. The person who knows this has received the greatest and best blessing of all mankind.

After 6,000 years God captures the dragon and throws him into the Abyss.  After 6,000 years, God finds the kingdom He had lost, and He begins to reign over the world he created.  In 6,000 years, mankind experiences “a favorable season of ringing out the old and ringing in the new”, a world of peace. The day when mountains and streams, trees and grass, and all creation dance in joy has come.  It is the best Way since the beginning of time.  Death is put to an end and life begins for the first time; it is the destiny of the new heaven.
 Amen!
