Korean Christianity in History

Main reference: Mt 23:26-36

Why is the divided CCK, labeling Shincheonji as a heresy? When this question is asked, no one usually answers. People are calling Shincheonji as a heresy without any concrete reasons, just as the people did to Jesus. They seem to be doing so because their own congregation members have been going to Shincheonji, and because the number of their members is dramatically decreasing. All of creation, in heaven and on earth, are working to feed themselves and to survive. Likewise, believers have come to Shincheonji as they were looking for something to eat. They have come to Shincheonji because they were unable to find the word of life from their own churches, but have found it in Shincheonji. 
This is the evidence Shincheonji is not a heresy. It is clear the churches, teaching the worldly words due to the lack of the word of life, are the true heresies.

Teaching commentaries, the words of men, is like preaching different gospels (Gal 1). The commentaries are the seed of the weeds and the wine of adulteries. Those who are feeding this wine of adulteries are intensely persecuting Shincheonji, as they they did to Jesus at the first coming--just like the Pharisees and the pastors during the first coming! If one examines the hardships of the prophets and the apostles in the 6,000 years of Bible history, as well as the afflictions of Shincheonji today, one will know there are those who persecute and those who are persecuted. Life and salvation have always been with those who are persecuted, although it is a small and narrow path (Mt 5:10-12). If anyone has the knowledge of the Bible, he will look for a place which receives persecution because of righteousness.

Within the world of Korean Christianity, salvation and curses are being granted at the same time. Salvation is in Shincheonji, the new promised kingdom. Curses, on the other hand, are with the denomination which regards lies as their own food, and has added to and/or subtracted from Revelation. One is now coming to an end, whereas the other is rapidly growing. This can be clearly seen with our own eyes. It is pitiful, despite seeing this the people do not realize. The Physical Israelites thought of themselves as the only chosen people at the time of the first coming. They neither realized they had sinned (the sin of the worshiping of gentile gods in 1 Kgs 11) and God had already left them, nor did they know Jesus, whom God was with. For these reasons they were judged. In other words, they were destroyed from a lack of biblical knowledge (Hos 4:6). 

In the same manner, today's Protestant pastors, the pastors of Spiritual Israel, also consider themselves the only chosen people. They do not know they have sinned (they bowed down to the Japanese god during Japanese's colonization). They also received the mark from the beast and worshiped him today in Revelation 13. They neither know God left them, nor do they know God, who left them, has now come to Shincheonji.

Shincheonji is well aware of the end and the consequences of the Protestant churches. They were anticipated in Revelation 6 and 7, Revelation 13 and 14, and Revelation 18 and 19. People are all blind and deaf; even though they see this, they do not know. Even though they hear it, they do not understand. They are nothing but the dead because they do not have any senses. They are only in deep sleep while engaging in sleep-talking.

Wake up from your sleep Protestant Christians! The morning sun has risen, and the day has dawned. Whoever rejects the word of the Revelation (i.e. the revealed word) is unable to go to heaven. I pray all will understand and attain salvation.

Amen!

Shincheonji bible study) Korean Christianity in History(1)

Korean Christianity in History

Main reference: Mt 23:26-36

The main reference describes the real status of the pastors who have been deceived by Satan since the time of Adam. Matthew 5:11-12 makes references to the persecution occurring at the present time, as well as the persecution which happened during the first coming. In Acts 7 Stephen also spoke about the inherited traditions of murder and persecution by the false pastors who had existed from of old. Are the pastors who are busy persecuting others aware of these passages?

Having seen the cruel and barbarian acts of Roman Catholicism, Martin Luther conducted the Protestant Reformation, and through this reformation, Protestantism originated. It has been said in history, Calvin, a Protestant, seized ecclesiastical authority and murdered several saints of God. How can he be considered God’s pastor? Calvin established the Presbyterian Church (Calvin did not acknowledge Jesus Christ’s Revelation and excluded the book from the Bible). The Korean Presbyterian Church bowed down to the god of the Japanese Emperor and praised him during the time of Japanese colonization of Korea. 

The Korean Christians who criticized these actions were put in prison. After Korea obtained independence from Japan, some Christians who came out of prison, founded a Christian denomination called Goshin. They separated themselves from the Korean Presbyterian Church, claiming there was no salvation in the Presbyterian Church.

This Presbyterian Church (conservatives) joined forces with the politicians. During the Korean military regime, the Korean Presbyterian church supported the amendments of a Korean law (1969) so the former president at that time would be able to serve as a president three times in a row. The Korean Christian Press Association made it known in their 7th Christian Press Forum (April 2008), the Christian Council of Korea (established in 1989) was an organization based on such Presbyterian Churches which supported the amendments of the Korean law.

During a certain time it was aired the politicians, who also serve as elders of the Christian Council of Korea, were twelve leaders. Because one of the elders of the Christian Council of Korea became a Korean president, they were stiff-necked. Korean Christianity has seemed to emerge from within politics. Why did this occur? It was because they considered people, the world, and authority more importantly than God.

God left Israel because of their sin--they worshiped gentile gods during the reign of Solomon--and they ended up becoming gentiles. What of the Korean Christians bowing down to the god of the Japanese, the gentiles? Is this not sin? Instead of repenting of what they have done, they are claiming to be orthodox and labeling innocent people as heretics, just because those people refuse to be part of their organization. Is this not true? Who are the true heretics? We need to ask God. According to God's word in the Bible, those who worship and bow down to pagan gods are determined to be gentiles and heretics. Furthermore, Revelation 13, 17, and 18 clearly presents how people have made up commentaries, and how they are teaching those commentaries instead of the words in the Bible. These commentaries are assuredly different gospels (Gal 1:8-9), and the act of teaching them is equated to the act of sowing of the weeds. It is also the act of feeding people wild wine (Satan's sermons), the wine of adulteries, instead of feeding them with true wine (Jesus' sermons of the holy spirit). The commentaries are in fact, Satan's laws and doctrines. Those who regard such commentaries as orthodoxy are thought to be people who have received the spirit of Satan.

The scriptures testify, in the end times of religion (Christianity), the believers who are part of heaven and are likened unto the sun, moon, and stars (Gn 37:9-10), fall to the earth due to the destroyers (Mt 24:29; Rv 6:12-13). People who began with God's word and the holy spirit have returned to mere flesh. If this is the case, they are now part of the dust, just like Adam. This is how the believers have fallen from heaven to the earth. The number of Korean Christians, once counted as twelve million, has dramatically dropped to eight million. This dramatic decrease of the number of Christians depicts the autumn leaves falling from trees by the winds. The eight million Korean Christians have again recently been divided into two organizations --the Christian Council of Korea (the CCK) and the Communion Churches in Korea (the CCIK). These two organizations, which love money, are the ringleaders, labeling others as heretics. 

How ironic it is, these two organizations are now shouting at one another, saying the other is the heretic! Yes, it is true. They have been divided, and they are calling each other a heresy. On top of this, one of them is claiming the pastor of the other group is the worst heretic among all heretics. Each of the organizations is claiming to be the orthodoxy and calling each other a heresy. This, in fact, is their great tribulation. It is serving as a sign the Christian organizations are coming to an end. This is the end of the age, the end time of religion.

At one time the CCK was trying to lift up the people who were expelled from Shincheonji as some kind of special believers, and they were using those people as their own tools to insult and mock Shincheonji. Now, however, the CCK is labeling them as heretics. Is this not the game of the demons? In addition, the CCK is manipulating immature young adults to create anti-Shincheonji online cafes, and those cafes are being used as another tool to criticize and blame Shincheonji.

A true pastor would be someone who teaches and makes known the word of life to people who have a child-like heart and spirit, just as Shincheonji is doing. Only when one does this, is their action considered an action done according to God's will. Teaching people to insult and curse others is obviously the action of the devil. This is very similar to the actions of the pastors during Jesus' first coming. They bribed and used their own congregation members to speak lies in order to kill Jesus. The priests, elders, and the people of the time urged Pontius Pilate, who proclaimed the innocence of Jesus, to kill Jesus, by saying, "Let his blood be on us and our children" (Mt 27:20-26). The persecutors of this generation are just like the priests, elders, and the people during Jesus' first coming. They are conducting synonymous actions because the persecutors today are their spiritual descendants. The Bible makes it very clear, one receives salvation only by eating and drinking Jesus' flesh and blood (Jn 6), and one can receive the answers of his prayers only by praying in Jesus' name (Jn 14:13-14). There was a man who was expelled from Shincheonji, he was claiming we must eat and drink the flesh and the blood of the representative of Shincheonji, in order to attain salvation. He was also claiming we must pray in the name of the Shincheonji representative in order to receive the answers of our prayers. He was expelled due to these claims. Furthermore, he illegally deposited public church funds into his own bank account, and used it as if it were his own. He still, to this day, has not returned the money. Do you say these are acts of righteousness and orthodoxy? The CCK has appointed this man to be a righteous evangelist. It has been using him as a tool to curse Shincheonji and to conduct anti-Shincheonji seminars.

Shincheonji truth - On argument of evolutionism and creationism

On argument of evolutionism and creationism

     Recently, there is a heated controversy between the evolutionism and the creationism on the matter of the contents of the school textbooks. The evolution scholars have reacted against that the Society for Textbook Revive (hereafter referred to as STR) submitted the petition to the ministry of education to delete the section of the archaeopteryx from high school textbooks. Especially, after the STR, the group responsible for the petition, came out to be a christian group, it is regarded as the conflict between science and religion.
     On this issue, Newsnjoy held an open discussion concerning the subject of 'Creation has a talk with Science.' at the Michael building of Sungkonghoe University last June 14. The open discussion (Professor Park, Heejoo of Myongji University as a host) was heated with the involvement of the panel of Professor Kim, Kisuk(Sungkonghoe University) who wrote the book of 'The origin of Species versus The origin of God' and Professor Woo, Jonghak(Seoul National University) who is a writer of the book of 'An atheistic reporter throws a question'.
     Professor Kim said, "Because the matter of the archaeopteryx is the question under debate, anyone can raise a question on it. However, Christianity denies the evolutionary theory itself and it is not fair to remove the part of the archaeopteryx from textbooks due to not scientific reasons, but religious ones."

*In short, the issue is about that a christian group demands the government to remove the parts supporting the theory of evolution. They claim that God created a man with no step of the evolution. Whereas, it is 6000 years ago that God created Adam. If it is true, how can it be explained that there were the remains of the archaeopteryx and the dinosaurs before it? Now people do not believe with no condition. They believe only when they come across logically. Never does God lie. And God created a man called Adam 6000 years ago. Though, it is not reasonable when it comes to the age of the earth. What do we have to think? We are christian, so we cannot but help denying the age of the earth?

Let's see the bible. Jesus said, "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old.(Psalm78:2)"

Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.(Matt13:34)

If God and Jesus speak in parables, can't we think there would be some secrets in Genesis? That is what I would like to say.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.(1Corinthians 14:33)

God does not want the argument, but the peace.

And until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13)

God said to the Sadducees who spoke of themselves.

Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.(Matthew22:29)

What kind of believer do we have to be? Become the believers who understand God's will and come forward to God, not ones who do not understand God's will and raise troubles.

Shincheonji : Revelation in the New testament

No matter what people claim, the book of Revelation in the New Testament, the promise of God, will surely be fulfilled.

One must enter into Revelation in order to discover whether God can fulfill it or not.

Jesus promised in the New Testament what is yet to be fulfilled. He said, “I have told you now before it happens, so when it does happen you will believe” (Jn 14:29).

If anyone hears the news regarding the fulfillment of the New Testament, he must make an effort to go and verify the testimony through the Bible.
Such a person is a true believer.

Shincheonji Words of God : The Trees in the Bible(3)

1. Why is it that only the tree of life appears in Rv 22 without the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil disappears as the dragon of Babylon, which is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, is seized and locked up (Rv 20:1-3), and as his pastors are also captured and judged in Rv 19 and Rv 20.

(Revelation 20:1-3) Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the abyss and a heavy chain.  He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent—that is, the Devil, or Satan—and chained him up for a thousand years. The angel threw him into the abyss, locked it, and sealed it, so that he could not deceive the nations any more until the thousand years were over. After that he must be set loose for a little while.

(Revelation 18:2-3) He cried out in a loud voice: “She has fallen! Great Babylon has fallen! She is now haunted by demons and unclean spirits; all kinds of filthy and hateful birds live in her.  For all the nations have drunk her wine—the strong wine of her immoral lust. The kings of the earth practiced sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the world grew rich from her unrestrained lust.”

The Sabbath rest and peace can come to this earth as Satan and his pastors disappear.


-> In short, a tree represents a spirit and the pastors who belong to that spirit (Is 5:7). The fruit of the tree represents the word and the congregation members. Two types of trees are God and the devil. The pastors appointed by each one of them are also the trees born from the seed according to Mt 13:31-32. It is to these trees that birds (spirits) come and perch in. God and Jesus are the word (Jn 1:1; 1 Jn 1:1). People born of this word are the firstfruits. This is the secret of the kingdom of heaven, and they become the children of the word, the spiritual sons.

Whoever does not know the parables, the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, becomes a gentile and cannot receive the forgiveness of his sin (Mk 4:11-12). Today is the time when facts are being plainly explained, and not with more figures of speech (Jn 16:25). Whoever believes in this will be saved.

Shincheonji bible - Creation of heaven & earth, and creation of new heaven & new earth

Creation of heaven & earth, and

creation of new heaven & new earth

 Main references: Gn 1, Rv 21, Jn 1:1-5

What is the creation of heaven and earth in Gn 1? What is the creation of new heaven and new earth in Rv 21?
The creation of heaven and earth in Gn 1 figuratively uses the creation of the physical world and prophesies about the creation of the spiritual world. The creation of the new heaven and new earth in Rv 21 is also a prophecy regarding the creation of the spiritual world. Hence, both passages refer to the same content. The creation will happen in such a way at an appointed time.

God first showed what was created in heaven so that it will be created here on earth as well (Mt 6:10). This is why Moses first saw what was in heaven and then created what he had seen here on earth (Ex 25; Heb 8).
Roughly 2,000 years after Adam’s fall, God spoke to Moses the accounts of Genesis.
The Israelites became fruitful and increased in number just as it was written in Gn 1, and afterwards, he commanded them to subdue and rule over the land of Canaan.

There is God’s creation in heaven and on earth. There are the sun, moon, stars, winds, clouds, rain, and air in the sky. There is all creation on earth. All creation in heaven exists in space. It is only on the earth in the globe that living creatures exist. The living creatures were created by the creator, who is also a living being, through his life (the word) (Jn 1:1-4). The devil, the adversary of God, wants to kill and harm these living creatures. For such a reason, God made known life and death [to people].

The world God created is truly awe-inspiring. There is a light from the sun during the daytime, and there is light from the moon and stars during the night time. There are clouds and flying birds in the sky. There are animals, grass, and plants on earth. Beautiful flowers bloom. It rains and snows on earth. In the sea there are several different kinds of fish swimming. Alluring coral creates breathtaking scenery inside the sea. It is such a joy and an honor to be part of this wonderful scenery and to be able to live together with all creation all year round.

God’s creation is absolutely stunning and marvelous. It is heaven. In the harmony of heaven and earth, and in the midst of all creation, I, too, become a delightful being. I become a flower, and I become a butterfly. In fact, I am more precious than any flowers or butterflies. I’d like to become a living being of love just like the light, rain, and air that are needed by all creation. I’d like to emit the true aroma of the living flower, and I’d like to become an eternal joy for all creation that everyone misses, seeks, waits for, and needs. To my beloved friend, all creation! To my friends, unchanging and beautiful flowers! Let us live together with a love that never has to say goodbye. Let us eternally thank and thank again our creator and glorify and sing of him with our beautiful aroma! Singing like birds, dancing like butterflies, smiling like charming flowers, shinning like flowing streams, being like the morning smiles, and smiling like the angelic and radiant moon, I’d like to smile, bloom, and live with my friend in all creation forever, and give thanks to our Lord. We will love each other just like God and Jesus.

All creation is God’s grand farming. All things in heaven and on earth are magnificent. After the trampling enemies are seized and locked up, we will live with all creation for eternity in Shinchonji. Shinchonji has become the leaves of the tree of life, and it is healing all things. We will neither fall down like Adam’s world, nor will we get destroyed like Noah’s world. We will neither betray like the Israelites, the world of Moses, nor will we become corrupt like the Spiritual Israelites, the previous heaven. We will live in Shinchonji, the eternally beautiful heaven, the new heaven where flowers are blooming and we are smiling.

It is God who has promised. It is also God who has fulfilled and created. God has established the promise of creating, and he has created the new heaven and new earth, the eternal paradise and heaven, according to his promise. God, heaven, and the angels will come to the new heaven and new earth here on earth. God will also bring with him the spirits of the dead (1 Cor 15:22-23). It will be a wonderful world where we can all meet with them and live with them. It will be heaven where there is no more death and pain (Rv 21:1-4). The previous world has passed away, and the new heaven and new earth, the kingdom of the quiet new morning, has been launched. People who have received the same blood and the same seed, and who have been born again to be God’s sons and daughters by transcending any national borders, races, and religions, are new creatures. They are the children of God’s kingdom. It is the kingdom of love where everyone loves one another with the grace of life just like the light, rain, and air from the sky!

It is said that cuckoos shed their blood from their necks to feed their babies. The Lord has also fed us his own blood, and he has granted us the resurrection of life by crossing us from death to life. We look at all things in heaven and on earth. All things that the Lord has created are fascinating, and they are genuine and good. To the family of heaven, the world of paradise and the new heaven and earth, let us love one another. Is it not the love of God, who created all things? Since we love all things, and all things love us, it is heaven. Let us become new creatures that burst the flowers of love together.

I am beautiful when I smile out of joy. I am beautiful when I sing, when I dance, and when I smile like flowers in full bloom. May God help me become a beautiful and unchanging flower in the new heaven and new earth, the new world promised by God, the creator. May he help me become a gift to my loving Lord by becoming that flower.

Every moment I daydream, and every moment I think, the world of paradise enters into my heart. The image of God, the smiling Lord enters into my heart. Rough and tough days have all disappeared. I cannot help but dance for the Sabbath-rest. I will become an eternal flower of love, a breath and joy for all things in the world of paradise.

Shincheonji bible study - Trees in the bible(2)

Today, we are going to look through about the trees in bible again.
I mentioned there were many trees you can see in the bible.
Let's examine those first.


1.Verses related to Trees in the bible

(Daniel 4:20,22) The tree, so tall that it reached the sky, could be seen by everyone in the world. Its leaves were beautiful, and it had enough fruit on it to feed the whole world......“Your Majesty, you are the tree, tall and strong. You have grown so great that you reach the sky, and your power extends over the whole world.
(John 15:1 GNT) “I am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener.
(Isaiah 5:7) Israel is the vineyard of the Lord Almighty; the people of Judah are the vines he planted. He expected them to do what was good, but instead they committed murder.....
Seems like the trees in the bible are not just real "trees". They represent a person or people in it.


2. Why are the men trees? Why did God hide the real meaning of them?

About 2000 years ago, the disciples of Jesus have asked the same question.

(Matthew 13:10) Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?”

And there is the answer from Jesus.

(Matthew 13:11)Jesus answered, “The knowledge about the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

He said that he used parables to let the diciples know the secret of the kingdom of heaven. Moreover, In Psalm, there is a prophecy about the saviour who will use wise sayings and explain mysteries from the past,  things they have heard and known, things that their ancestors told them.(Psalm 78:2-3)

This means the trees in Genesis are one of the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven, right? Now, let's move on to the time of Jesus' first coming.


3. At the first coming, there are also two types of trees and their vine.

Jesus was the true vine and the disciples were the branches. Since the branches remained in the vine, the true vine, they were able to bear lots of fruit (Jn 15:1-5). This bad fruit is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras (Dt 32:32-33). 

Then, what about the time of Jesus' second coming? I will post it up next time. :)

Shincheonji bible study - The two types of trees in the bible(1)

Let's learn about the two types of trees in the bible.
Genesis says there are two types of trees with Adam and Eve. One  is the tree of life and the other is the knowledge of good and eveil.

1. What are they?

(Genesis 2:2) ....In the middle of the garden stood the tree that gives life and the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad.

2. What would be happened if they eat those fruits?

* The tree that gives life's
(Genesis 3:22) Then the Lord God said, “Now these human beings have become like one of us and have knowledge of what is good and what is bad. They must not be allowed to take fruit from the tree that gives life, eat it, and live forever.”

* The tree that gives the knowledge of good and eveil
 (Genesis 2:17) except the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. You must not eat the fruit of that tree; if you do, you will die the same day.”

"In other words, one gives you forever life and the other gives you death."

3. Why is it important?

Many of Christian do not consider the trees, but it is very important to them.

They regard this affair as one of history in the bible. However, the two types of trees were shown many times in the bible and even Revelation, too. They are all connected and have the meaning in them. If so, it is worth to know, isn't it?

We need to know it in order not to eat the fruit of evil, and to have forever life from God.

Next time, we are going to learn about this more.

Shincheonji bible study - I'm off to Heaven School!

"Goodbye!! I'm off to Heaven School~!!"

(This was written by a husband, whose wife is a member of Shinchonji Church in Cheonju.)

It's a Sunday morning, and my wife is busy as usual.

She gets breakfast ready and goes out into the garden, picking lettuces while humming to a song. What is it that makes her excited all the time? After I finish my breakfast, as if my wife was waiting for me to be done, she asks me, "Please drive me to the bus stop so I can go to Heaven School."

Since it took about 30 minutes to walk from our house to the bus stop, my wife moves more busily on days she goes to church.

To be honest, I don't understand her. I scolded her saying, "Why take time to go all the way to Cheongju when you can just g o to the Catholic Church right next to us? "My wife just smiles and retorts, “I am still a child, so I must go to Heaven School no matter how far it is."

Our family has been going to Catholic Church since a long time ago.

So, there was no way that I was going to be happy about my wife going to a church far away which I had no knowledge about. But what can I do when she persists on going.

When I drive her to the bus stop so she can go to Heaven School, in a moment with a happy look on her face, she waves good bye saying,"Goodbye. I’m off to Heaven School."

But where is this Heaven School?

Is it called Heaven School because it's really in heaven?

Then one day, I found out that my wife was going to a place called Shinchonji Church of Jesus. Some people came to the store early in the morning leaving a newspaper behind that said, "City of Truth, Beautiful Shinchonji." It was the church's newspaper.

Without opening it up to take a look at it, I crumbled it up and threw it away in the trash can. My wife, who was watching from a far, jumped up surprised and rebuked me saying, "Why are you throwing this away? This is the advertising newspaper that our church members left!"

I have heard unpleasant rumors regarding Shinchonj around me, so I was uncomfortable knowing that my wife was going to such a place. My wife sensed my uneasiness, and thoroughly explained to me what place Shinchonji Church and who the Chairman Man Hee Lee exactly was. She also bragged saying that only those whom God loved could go to Shinchonji.

My wife was actually one hotheaded woman. She became easily angered and yelled a lot as well. She was the type of person who didn't listen to other people’s words but was busy displaying her own.

However, my wife is now gentle and listens to other people. She has changed into a person with composure. Even for me, as her husband, I would have to admit that there was a big change to an extent where I would sometimes suspect her to be the right person.

The change in my wife definitely began when she started to go to Shinchonji.

So, it seems right to me that my wife was going to Heaven School, as she greeted me every morning. I mean, look at the way it’s changed a person.

Today as well, my wife is sitting at her desk with the Bible open,

reviewing the things she's learned at Heaven School.

Regardless, my wife is just as lovable and far more trustworthy than ever.

The place where God’s family, whose beauty is beyond that of angels, has gathered, we are the City of Truth, Beautiful Shinchonji.

Shincheonji bible study- What do you think the War in the Bible?

Have you ever heard about the Second Coming of Jesus?

If you had, what do you imagine his Second Coming would be?

Recently, there are the threat of war between North and South Korea.

It reminds you of that day?

Jesus said that the days of his Second Coming will be like the days of Noah and the days of Lot (Lk17:26-30).

Will these days be really happened?

Let's learn about the War in the Bible.

The War in the New Testament

The war, which is prophesied in the New Testament, is not a physical war between nations of the world, but is a spiritual war in which the believers (Christians) fight amongst each other. It is a war of doctrines between the people who belong to God and those who belong to Satan. It is a battle to seize ecclesiastical authority from each other, insisting the truth against lies and orthodoxy against heresy.

In the First Coming, the Israelites, who were the Jewish people, argued with Jesus using their doctrines. That is to say, Jesus and the Pharisees were the ones who fought against each other (Mt 15, Mt 23). In the same way, during the Second Coming, as recorded in Rev 13 and 12, those who fight do so using the words of their doctrines and their ecclesiastical authority.

Those who insist that the war written in the New testament is a war of one physical nation against another have greatly mistaken a spiritual war for a physical war. They do this because they don't know God or the meaning of the scriptures (Mt 22:29). Teaching misunderstandings like this, feeding others false truths and lies, is planting the weeds and giving the wine of adultery to drink. If the holy spirit of God were truly with them, they would not be sowing the false seeds.

The war prophesied in Mt 24 also happens within the temple. What is poured out onto the betrayers and destroyers in Rev 16 was not a physical bomb of the world; it is the wrath of God. What must also be known is the angels and horses who are bound at the great river Euphrates, those who killed a third of mankind, were not using the weapons of the world, but were using fire, smoke, and sulfur, which came out of the mouth of horses. Their tails, having heads, were like snakes and the horses used them to kill people (Rev 9:14-19). The head is the prominent men (leaders) and the tail is a prophet who teaches lies (Is 9:14-16). The fire, smoke, and sulfur which came out of the horse’s mouths, is the false doctrines. The people's spirits that receive these false doctrines will die.

All of God’s Saints need to receive the revelation of God in the end times of the world, to know the true meanings of God word.

Shincheonji church - God and the Church(Religion) (2)

God must dwell there, in order for God’s word to exist there; Jesus must dwell there in order for Jesus’ words to exist there, and the person who learns at the church where God and Jesus dwell, becomes one who learns from God and Jesus. A church where God does not dwell does not have God’s Word, but only worldly words, man’s words. These churches are not God’s churches, but are the worldly churches. These places are not even considered apart of religion; it is merely man’s churches. Religion, or God’s churches, must have God, the owner, dwelling there; and as a result of God being there, His words are able to come out from there. Congregation members attend churches to hear the words of God, not to hear man’s words.

Life is contained within God’s word (Jn 1:1-4), and those who receive the word of life, have the breath of life, and as a result, the once withered and dead spirit will come back to life (resurrection to life) [Jn 5:24-29]. Inside the words of man are contained the corrupt, hereditary sins, there is the poison which leads to death, and the life of the spirit who listens to these words shortens and withers. This is like the sun setting near the western mountain서산(西山)에 가까운 해와 같다 (Using an old figure of speech: Just like the setting sun in the west~ “man’s words will eventually bring a person’s spirit to an end”).

The natural order and purpose of religion, the will of the True God, is to take the world which has died and bring it back to life with God’s breath of life. If God’s will is not taught at a church, but only man’s thoughts prevail, if only the teachings of man are clanging loudly, and power is grown for the sake of authority and money, then shouldn’t these kinds of churches be demolished?

God does not dwell at a place like this.

The end of age the New Testament prophesied is referring to the end of age of the churches (Mt 24, Rv 13). This era comes to an end, and the new promised temple and teaching, clearly shown in Revelation chapters 15 and 14, is created. It is the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, Zion (Zion Seminary Mission Center) where all nations will come and worship.

What is the value of reading and perceiving the Scriptures? It is to find this promised place to gain salvation. God’s promised temple, where the Bible is made known, is where God dwells, so His words will come out from there (Is 2:3, Mic 4:2, Rv 14:1-3). God is one with the Word and this Word is life, so where the Word is located, this is where God dwells and life is found (Jn 1:1-4). One must be born of this seed of life to inherit eternal life. As a result of being born from God’s seed, we become sons of God (children of God) and become the family of heaven. Amen!

Shincheonji - The Seeds of Two Spirits(2)

Main Reference: Mt 13:24-30

♠ What is the reason God would need to punish Physical Israel and create Spiritual Israel through Jesus?

The reason for this judgment was because God had made the people, those born from the sins of Adam his people, but they all betrayed, just like Adam (Hos 6:7). Therefore, God chose to make his people and kingdom, through the people born from His seed. To do this, God first promised to Jeremiah (Prophecy) and came to Jesus to sow the seed of God (Fulfillment). First, Jesus was born from the seed of God (Mt 1:18) and then through Jesus the seed of God was sown in the field (Mt 13:24, 27). Jesus also made a promised to come and harvest at the second coming (Mt 13:30; 24:31; Rv 14:14-16).

All people born from the sins of Adam have betrayed, but Jesus and his disciples, who were born from seed of God, did not betray. They completed their task, even though they suffered martyrdom. This is the difference between the people born from the physical seed and God’s seed.

The seed is the word of God (Lk 8:11), the word is the spirit and He called them god’s to whom the word of God came (Jn 10:35). Whomever is born from the seed of the spirit becomes God’s offspring (Acts 17:29). If the spirit of God lives in you, you are not of the realm of the flesh but are one with the realm of the spirit. The spirit gives life to the mortal body (Rom 8:9-11).

♠ God's people

Before Jesus came, God’s people and foreigners (outsiders) were separated from each other because of Abraham’s bloodline. After Jesus came, God’s people and foreigners were no longer separated by physical blood, but by either having the spirit of God or being without the spirit of God. Anyone born from the seed of God is a person of God and anyone born from the seed of Satan is a foreigner (outsider). The people born from the seed of God are those with the same spirit as God and become the family of God. The people born from the seed of Satan are those with the same spirit as Satan and become the family of Satan. The seed of God is the truth and the seed of Satan is lies. The seed of God is life and light (Jn 1:1-4), and the seed of Satan is death and darkness. These are the differences between the two kinds of people born from one of the two kinds of seeds. Who do you think is going to be saved at the second coming of Jesus? The one who is ignorant of the word of God is darkness and night (Hos 4:6, 1Th 5:4-8).

♠ The two kinds of seeds, trees and those vine

The two kinds of seeds, the seed of God and Satan, were growing together in the same field for the last 2,000 years, after the first coming of Jesus. At the second coming of Jesus, only the wheat is being harvested and is taken to spiritual Mount Zion (the barn), where the throne of God exist (Rv 14:1-5, 14-16). Whoever believes in the covenant of Jesus will be harvested to the barn, Mount Zion. The weeds will remained within the field (Mt 13:30).

God came to and became one with Jesus (Mt 3:16-17, Jn 10:30). At the first coming, Jesus was the true vine and the disciples were the branches. Since the branches remained in the vine, the true vine, they were able to bear lots of fruit (Jn 15:1-5). At the time of harvest, these good fruits of the true vines (the people born from the seed of God) were harvested and those who were left in the field were the bad fruits. This bad fruit is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras (Dt 32:32-33).

At the first coming of Jesus, God’s vine was Jesus and his disciples. Satan’s vine was the Pharisees and their people. They are both within one field (Christianity) and at the second coming of Jesus, they are being separated. Wine is from the fruit of the vine. Just as the revealed words Jesus spoke were the true and new wine at the first coming, Jesus’ new revealed words at the second coming are true and new wine of Jesus at that time. Also, just as the pastors of Satan the Pharisees’ words, was the bad wine at the first coming of Jesus, in the second coming the false words (commentaries) of the pastors of Babylon, the great prostitute and the beast with seven heads and ten horns in Rev 17, 18, are the venom of serpents, the maddening wine of adulteries.



If you ask the Christians of today, “what kind of wine are you drinking right now?” they will answer “Jesus’ new wine”. However this is because they do not know who their pastors and the spirit of the pastor belongs to. How come they do not know this? Because it is a mystery. Then how is it that there is one (a shepherd) who does know about this? This is because he saw and heard the mystery at a location in which Revelation 17, 18 has taken place.

There is Jesus’ vine, the new wine and Satan’s vine and the wine of adultery. The one who eats from the vine of Jesus and drinks the new wine will live. The one who eats of Satan’s (Babylon’s) vine and drinks the wine of adultery will die. Jesus, the true vine, is the tree of life (Jn 15:1, 5, Jn 6:47-51, 14:6), and the great prostitute is the tree of good and evil. The Christians of today need to distinguish between the two kinds of seed, tree, vine, and wine, through promised shepherd who saw and heard the events of Revelation. Therefore, they must be harvested and drink the new wine of Jesus’ true vine in order to enter the eternal kingdom and become people of heaven.

How many people are eating the fruit of tree of good and evil, Babylon’s wine of adulteries (Dan 4:20-21)?

In the four gospels (Mt 24), the temple of God is subjected to violence and the abomination that causes desolation is standing inside. The sun, moon, and stars, which belong to heaven, are falling from the sky, and all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries (Rev 6, 17, 18). All of this refers to the destruction of Spiritual Israel. At this time, the small amount of seed remaining is being sealed to create the 12 tribe of the New Heaven (New Spiritual Israel).

Whoever believes will follow Holy Spirit to come to Shincheonji and will be reborn as a person of heaven. This is what I sincerely pray for.

Shincheonji bible study -The Seeds of Two Spirits(1)

Main Reference: Mt 13:24-30

In the bible, there are two kinds of seeds explained within the parables.

Whose and what kind of seeds are they? The two seeds are the two kinds of spirits, the spirit of God and the spirit of Satan.

The two kinds of seeds, that were sown at Jesus’ first coming, was the fulfillment of the promise made between God and Jeremiah approximately 2,600 years ago. After this promise was given it was fulfilled 600 years later through Jesus (Jer 31:27, Mt 13:24-28). The seed that Jesus sowed was the seed of God and the seed the Pharisees sowed was the seed of Satan (Mt 13:24-30; 37-39, Mt 23). The seeds that Jesus sowed are the people of the kingdom of God and the seeds the Pharisees sowed are the people of the evil one (Mt 13:38).

The two kinds of seeds were growing in the field of Jesus, the world of Christianity (1Cor 3:9), until Jesus’ second coming (Mt 13:29-30). During the harvest, the two kinds of seeds are being separated. The good seeds are going to be harvested to the barn and the weeds are going to be left in the field and burned.

As stated above, God first made a promise to Jeremiah and then came to Jesus to fulfill the promise. This was accomplished by Jesus sowing the good seeds and the evil pastors sowing the seed of the devil. These seeds are not physical seeds but spiritual seeds (Jn 1:12-13). Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the spirit gives birth to spirit (Jn 3:5-6).

Shincheonji bible study: The Counselor, The Holy Spirit

 Main reference: John 14, 15, 16

What does the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, refer to in John 14-16?

The Counselor is mentioned in John 14, 15, and 16. The meaning of the Counselor is 'a teacher who protects with grace'. It is explained as one who speaks to the Father in our defense, (1 Jn 2:1 ‘speaks on behalf) and for this reason, the Counselor could be either the spirit, or it could also be the man (flesh) in which the spirit dwells.

God who promised to come in Isaiah 19, came to Jesus as a spirit ( Mt 3:16-17, Jn1:32). He dwelled within Jesus and spoke through his mouth (Jn14:10, 24). God called Jesus a prophet, the Counselor. In Revelation 19 & 22, the angel said to John, 'I am a fellow servant with you' and referred to himself as the spirit of prophecy (Rev 19:20, 22:8-9).

♥ John 14

As the time to bear the cross was coming close, Jesus comforted his disciples telling them, 'I am going there to prepare a place for you. I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.' (:2-3). Jesus also said, 'I am the way' and 'No one comes to the Father except through me'.

According to the passage, the disciples do not seem to know God and Jesus very well (:7). They did not know or realize God was dwelling within Jesus, so Philip asked Jesus to show him the Father. Jesus responded by saying, anyone who has seen him has seen the Father (:8-11). Jesus said that if you love him, you will obey what he commands (:15, 21), and you may ask him for anything in his name and he will do it (:13-14). Jesus also said he will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever – the spirit of truth (:16-17). Just as the spirit of God, living within Jesus, speaks through Jesus, the Counselor the Holy Spirit also speaks through a man, living (dwelling) within the man (the chosen pastor).

Jesus, who had gone to prepare a place and then come back, said that he will come to those who obey his teaching (Jn 14:23). The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, will come in the name of Jesus, as it says in Matthew 23:39, he will teach you all things and will remind you of everything Jesus has said (:26). He will come as the spirit of truth, who will guide you into all truth (Jn16:13). As it is written in the Bible, we should believe that John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah (Mt 11:12-14, Lk1:17), Jesus came in the name of the Father (Jn 5:43), and the Counselor comes in the name of Jesus (Jn 14:26). He has told us before it happens, so that when it does happen we will believe (:29).

♥ John15

Jesus said he is the true vine and his Father is the gardener (:1-8), and 'As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.' (:9-17). Jesus aslo said, 'when the Spirit of truth comes, he will testify about me (Jesus), and you also must testify, for you (the disciples) have been with me from the beginning.' (:26-27).

♥ John16

Jesus said when the Counselor comes, he will convict the world of guilt, in regard to sin and righteousness and judgement: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in him; in regard to righteousness, because you can see him no longer; and in regard to judgement, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

Hence, 'sin' is not to believe in what Jesus said in New Testament, 'righteousness' is not to see the body of Jesus again, as he now lives as a holy spirit (it is 'righteous' to believe in Jesus as a spirit in his second coming), and 'judgement' is towards the kings of this world. The kings are the devil and its pastors.

The Counselor, who comes in the name of Jesus, will teach only what he hears from Jesus. All that belongs to the Father is what belongs to Jesus (:13-15). A time is coming when he will no longer use parables, but will tell us plainly about the Father (:25). This time is when the Counselor comes, he will completely speak what Jesus was unable to say in his 1^st coming (:12). This will be when all scripture is completed, including the book of Revelation. The purpose of God is to create his new kingdom and new people, and when the kingdom and people of God are created, the holy scriptures, the Bible is completed.
