Shincheonji Q&A : Is the world coming to an end?

Anybody wants to get a right answer of it. The Chairman of Shinchonji church, Man Hee Lee answers. Here it is. 

The world does not come to an end. There is, however, an end to a generation. In Genesis chapter one, there is a creation of heaven and earth; and in the New Testament, in Revelation chapter 21, it is written the first heaven and first earth disappear and a new heaven and new earth are created. It is written because heaven and God come to this place, there will be no more pain and death. What does this mean? How can the people of this world know God’s will?

Because people take the Bible passages literally, they say the world is coming to an end or there is going to be a World War III, but this is not true. When Adam’s world became corrupt, God went to Noah, who was Adam’s tenth descendant, and created a new world. When Noah’s world became corrupt, God went to Abraham, who was Noah’s eleventh descendant, and made a promise. Four hundred years later, God appointed Moses and brought Noah’s world to an end. When Abraham’s descendants, the Israelites, became corrupt, God went to Jesus and brought Physical Israel and the Law to an end (Mt 11:13; Lk 16:16).

The path, which was established through the First Coming of Jesus, comes to an end at the Second Coming because it also became corrupt. The re-creation of God’s new kingdom is referred to as a “new heaven and new earth.” This earth will not disappear and people will not disappear. Then what does it mean?

During the First Coming, Jesus did not sow physical seeds but sowed the spiritual seed of God’s word (Lk 8:11). At the Second Coming, the fruits which have grown from the seed are gathered to create God’s new kingdom and people. This is the new heaven and new earth. The passing away of the first heaven and earth refers to the churches, pastors and church members coming to an end. It does not mean the world will come to an end. It means the first heaven, in the religious sense, comes to an end and the new heaven, in the religious sense, is created. Within the world of religion, no logical rhetoric of this world, which is not of the Bible, could be acknowledged.

People, who speak on the topic of religion, should not speak through the thoughts of men but through the promise of the holy spirit. Because Mr. Lee saw things from a physical point of view, he misunderstood. If one views these questions from a religious point of view and from the viewpoint of heaven, I believe they would see Mr. Lee was speaking based from the viewpoint of the world.

I, the writer, have brought the food which does not perish, the food which leads to eternal life. I will give it for free to those who want it!

There are many other things in the Bible besides the questions Mr. Lee asked which Christians should know in order to receive salvation. I want to make this revelation known.



The Joongang Daily News published an article on December 17, 2011, which listed a series of questions the late founder of the Samsung Group, Lee Byeongcheol, asked about religion. The bold-print, front-page article has since drawn a lot of attention around Korea because Mr. Lee directed his 24 questions concerning religion, to a catholic priest a month before he passed.

The world is paying careful attention, not only because the questions were asked by one of the top leaders in the global economy, but also because no one has been able to properly answer them for the last twenty-four years.

The following article provides clear and definitive answers to Lee’s 24 questions about religion. It has been 24 years since these questions were asked, but the answers are finally being proclaimed to the public. Now the people of the world can find the truth they have been seeking.



Religion and the mindset of the world
There are two kinds of entities in the spiritual world. Of the two, I respect God and those who belong to him. In the physical world, I would like to acknowledge the Buddha, the eastern prophet Nam Sa Go, the Buddhist monk Seongcheol and Samsung’s Lee Byeongcheol because they are honest.
Just as the Buddha questioned religion as he agonized over the difficulties of life, Lee Byeongcheol asked his questions about religion in emotional pain as he faced death. Neither of them had the ability to answer their own questions. The Buddha and Nam Sa Go could only speak about what they knew. Before we talk about God, we must first understand the origin of religion. Who can answer questions such as these correctly (1 Cor 2:10)?    - Man Hee Lee-
