Shincheonji beliefs

Born Again into People of Heaven

Main reference: Jn 3:1-6
Jesus freed us from our sins by his blood and made us to be a kingdom and priests (Rv 1:5-6, Rv 5:9-10). Jesus, the son whom God is with said, “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit” (Jn 3:5). Why can no one enter heaven which is God’s kingdom, without being born of water and the Spirit? 

What does it mean to be born of water and the Spirit?
The sons of God in Genesis 6, like Adam and Eve from Genesis 3, were children of God who became living beings through God’s breath of life. The Word of God in the beginning is God and God’s breath. Therefore, those to whom the Word of God came are referred to as “god” (Jn 10:35).  Satan (serpent) fed men the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the venom of serpents and the deadly poison of cobras. Thus man (God’s children) returned to dust, to what they originally were (death: Dt 32:33). The tree of life which bore 12 crops of fruit every month were God and Jesus (Jn 15:1-5), and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil where the poison of death comes from was the snake, the dragon and Satan’s pastor of Babylon (Dn 4).

If Adam who was the son of God had not eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he would not have returned to dust.  After Adam sinned, men on earth were born of his poisoned genes.  Consequently, they all returned to dust like Adam (refer to Gn 3:17-19). All the creations of heaven and earth returned to dust in the end because of Adam. The reason for life and death which Buddha and Byung Chul Lee wanted to know was this. The only cure that can free us from death and the pain of sin is the blood of Jesus. Therefore what Buddha had heard and understood was that the savior is Jesus, and this is why he had stated that his teachings would be like a lamp without oil when Jesus comes 500 years later.

Jesus shed His blood 2,000 years ago, but the suffering and death of humanity has not ceased. Why isn’t the blood taking into effect? The gospel of Jesus who shed His blood as told by his disciples, promised that the effectiveness of the blood will take place at the time of the Second Coming. This is recorded in the book of Revelation and in the Four Gospels. However, these have been sealed until today. It was promised that all this will be told by the Spirit of Truth, through the advocate (Jn 16:25). In the promised day of Revelation, as it is written in Revelation (refer to Rv 6, Rv 13), even a Catholic prophet prophesied during the 12th century which he lived in, that a “new era will unfold” and that “the Catholic gospel of the old will end with the 112th Pope.” Catholoicism must not be extended like Buddhism was (*1: refer to note at end of article), but rather the congregation members must receive blessings by keeping the Word of Revelation from heaven. Also, there is salvation for the Pope himself, if he acknowledges the present time and strives to become a citizen of heaven by being born again. To say the truth, the true Pope is God and Jesus. Moreover, the clergymen in the Catholic Church are called “father,” but the true Father is God.
     
Let us understand the role of genes in behavior by observing chicks. Chicks that are hatched resemble the appearance of the rooster and hen which produced them. Their behavior also resembles that of their parents even within the three days they are hatched.  They mimic their mother’s behavior, from how they drink water to how they dig the ground with their feet to find food. They even fight the same way, because they are born with their mother’s genes.

Likewise, people who are born of the snake and Adam and Eve who are sinners, have the same appearance and same behavior as them. It is because of that inherited blood that people sin. Would someone who is born of betrayal and evildoing act according to God’s will just by saying so with their lips? The 6,000 years of history of sin proves it. Therefore we must be born again. We must be born again of God’s seed and God’s spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh but the spirit gives birth to spirit (Jn 3:1-6). Even if Satan’s spirit had controlled someone’s flesh, he or she can enter heaven and become citizens of heaven and God’s family if they are born again with God’s seed and spirit. It is written in Mt 7:15-20 that we will know the tree, the pastor, by the actions (fruit). We will know who are born with God’s seed and spirit and who are born of Satan’s seed based on their actions (fruit).  If this pastor is a tree, then we should know which tree’s fruit we are. We are able to know through the promised Word of the New Testament.
     
Since we are born of sin’s seed and sin’s spirit, we can enter heaven after being born again by God’s seed and spirit. Those who are born with God’s seed and spirit know the meaning of God’s Word. Those who are children of darkness, who are born of Satan’s seed, do not know God’s will or promise, and neither do they believe it.  
     
As we can see plainly, we are promising and accomplishing God’s reign and peace, while the those who oppose us are declaring war and are continuously doing evil. Are we going to leave war and trouble as an inheritance for the future generations? Or are we going to put all wars to an end and leave peace as an inheritance? We Shincheonji who are opening the new era thank our God the Father for reigning over the world of peace which He created according to His will. We wish that people of all nations would be born again like us to be with God’s will and His kingdom.

New Jerusalem Temple 

No matter how great the tribulation that you may encounter, your faith must stand strong.  Why do you think a pastor is referred to as a "rock"?  A rock stand strong regardless of the waves splashing against it.  Let us keep our faith like a rock, and be on guard for our own faith.

We need to make eery effort not to let our passion for God's work fade away.  True religions is doing God's work.  Therefore, you must not fade away fro God.  Don't you have to meet God's criteria in order for God to acknowledge you?  Thus, let us train people to be fully equipped, and also make yourself fully equipped.

Just like a rock in the sea stands strong even if it is splashed with strong waves continuously, those who have the complete knowledge do not get swayed by anyone.

Shincheonji: The Sealed 144,000 and the Multitude in White



What do the sealed 144,000 and the multitude in white represent?

In Revelation 6 God judges and brings to an end the corrupt Spiritual Israel and creates a new nation, the New Spiritual Israel in Revelation 7.  During this time, God seals the 144,000 of the twelve tribes with His seal as promised.  Each tribe consists of 12,000 people. “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb’” (Rv 7:9-10).   They are the great multitude. This event that fulfilled has been seen Today.  Why can you not believe it?


What does it mean to be sealed by the seal of God?

The angel brings the seal of the living God.  This is the angel that brings the revealed word of the open book in Revelation 10. To be sealed means to have this revealed word engraved inside our hearts and minds. God and Jesus are the Word from the beginning (Jn 1:1, 1 Jn 1:1). God gave the sealed book sealed with seven seals to Jesus, who opened all the seals and gave the book to the angel.  The angel brings the opened book and begins the work of sealing (Rv 1:1, Rv 5, Rv 10, Rv 7). Therefore, the seal of God is the word of God.  Having the word engraved in one’s heart is having God engraved in one’s heart, and having the word engraved in one’s heart means to be sealed by the seal of God.

(Jn 3:31-34) 
31The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 The man who has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”


  Thus, being sealed means to listen to the word of testimony (of the things of heaven that have been seen and heard), believe it, and engrave it in your heart.
Revelation is regarding the events of heaven (Rv 12, 13, 15).  One is sealed with the revealed word which is the testimony of what was seen and heard in heaven.   As written in John 3, the difference between a person who is sealed and one who is not sealed is the difference between a person of heaven and a person of the world. How can we tell? One can tell by whether he has the word of the heaven or not.  The sealed twelve tribes in Revelation is a promise of God concerning the new era, the new people, and the new nation.  This new nation begins with a person who is sealed, which means a person with the word.   Anyone who believes this promise will search for the place with the revealed word so that he can be sealed, and he will sincerely desire to be sealed.

Who are the great multitude that appear after this—the multitude that no one can count and that come out from every nation and tribe?

After the former heaven and earth come to an end due to corruption in Revelation 6, and the work of sealing the twelve tribes happen in Revelation 7, a great multitude that no one can count come out from every nation and tribe.  They have received the atonement of sin by Jesus’ blood.  As written in Revelation 19:11-16, a rider is riding on a white horse and his name is the Word of God.  Jesus is the Word from the beginning, and the blood is his word. As Jesus said, the blood that was shed 2,000 years ago will be eaten on the day of the Second Coming at the kingdom of his Father. Today, at the time of Revelation, this blood can be eaten at the twelve tribes of God’s kingdom.  In Revelation 5:9-10, Jesus purchased men and made them to be God’s kingdom and priest with his own blood, and in Revelation 12:10-11 they fought and overcame the dragon with the blood of the Lamb.  In Revelation 7:14, Jesus allowed the people to become the great multitude by washing their robes with the blood of the Lamb.  Thus, the great multitudes are those who come out from all nations and receive the atonement of sin and salvation after the 144,000 are sealed.  They believe in the word of the testimony of the 144,000, those who testify to the blood of the lamb.

They prepared places in nations and regions for the World Alliance of Religions’ Peace Offices for the unification of scriptures.  With the word of Jesus’ blood they have been cleansed from sin and have become the great multitude; it is a great number that no one can count, numbering billions of people.  This is exactly what has been seen.

  In this era the unbelieving, those who practice magic arts, the liars, and the dogs, cannot enter heaven, the holy city—their place is hell (Rv 21:8, 22:15).    Those who believe in the prophecy and fulfillment of Revelation will receive salvation as the great multitude.  The betrayers and destroyers will not enter heaven but go to hell, but those who believe will receive salvation and become the people of heaven.

Revelation makes known the new people of the new nation in a new era.  It makes known the re-creation of a new nation.  Those who believe will receive salvation as written in Revelation.

Shincheonji life giving quotes




In the word was the life


We must have the belief that says,  "This Word is my life," and, "Only through this Word may I live."  Thus, everyone must have a mind set on completely understanding the Word.  You must always think, " I am still lacking.  My knowledge of the Word is still insufficient so I must learn more."  With this mindset, you must develop an abundant and perfect understanding of the Word.


The light shines in the darkness,


We must pray to God diligently.  God is with thousands upon thousands and ten thousand times thousand angels.  Truly, it is God who has been working to this day.

True VS False

The correct understanding of the Bible and Shincheonji


Beautiful Shincheonji


The Doctrines of Calvinism and the Christian Council of Korea (CCK)


After John Calvin (Christian theologian) took ecclesiastical authority in Geneva, he recorded and printed his own version of the Bible, bracketed the book of Revelation (not acknowledged as holy scripture), did not believe in it, and began a genocide of believers who went against his teachings. History records that he even slaughtered children as well. This is the Calvin who established the Presbyterian Church. In the world of religion, Presbyterian churches hold the fewest number of congregation members except those in Korea. Even though the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) gathered the Presbyterian churches together, each church still teaches its own doctrine.  However, a pastor with one doctrine cannot preach at a church with a different doctrine. Only if he learns that church’s doctrine and be acknowledged can he become a pastor at that church.

Presbyterianism is the foundation of CCK, and Presbyterianism stems from Calvinism. Its basic foundations are different from Christianity. Calvinism (Presbyterianism) is like a white-washed tomb, a form of Christianity that is like an unmarked grave (Mt 23:27, Lk 11:44). Presbyterians in Korea bowed down and praised songs before Japanese gods during the time of the Japanese empire. In order to receive power and authority during the presidential elections, these pastors sold and bought power and authority and even anointed pastors and carried out their ministry with money. Their actions proved to be opposite of that of a true believer of Jesus.

The CCK who holds to Presbyterian doctrines just as Calvin did, labels organizations with differing doctrines as cults, forces conversion education, causes public criticism, and violates human rights.  How can this be considered Christianity? Does this not show the end of the world of believers?

Who is the true cult: the one who accuses the people who leave their corrupt organization or those who carry out a life of faith according to the Word? They do not care nor recognize that they are withering and corrupting themselves as they wickedly capture and force conversion education upon those who leave such a place of corruption. God prophesied that He will get rid of the corrupt generation and create a new era, a new nation, a new people again due to corruption in the world of believers.

A pastor is like a captain of the ship and a pilot in an airplane. The people receive salvation or curses depending on who their pastor is.  Therefore, isn’t life and death in the pastors’ hands since they are responsible for the people’s admission into heaven or hell? Have pastors even once thought about their huge responsibility? God placed a new pastor in every era because of corrupt pastors.  Teachings of forgiveness, love, and blessings within God’s promise changed into teachings of curses, plagues, lies, and persecution.  Therefore, what once was has been discarded, and a new pastor, a new nation, and a new people are created.  Look at what Calvin did and what the CCK are doing.  Is it salvation, forgiveness, love, and blessings?  Can they not see the complaints and cries of the congregation members reaching the heavens?

Disposing a corrupt group filled with evil and establishing a promised new nation is absolutely reasonable. Let us all repent, be reborn, and receive salvation. Let’s believe in the promise and work according to it because believing in God’s promise will save humanity from destruction.  Amen!

SHINCHEONJI CHURCH OF GOD

There is no one who has mastered the Bible and understands the meaning of it and acts according to God's will except for the one who overcomes.  We must throw away our pride and arrogance and become humble and have true faith, obeying the word.  
Shincheonji life - giving quote


The Holy Spirit cannot be held by any vessel.  God will reign somewhere clean.  The reason that water is used figuratively for the world is because water can clean.  We should clean our minds with the word.  


what we should never forget is that we must be holy because God and his kingdom is holy as well.  


We must not only keep the word unconditionally.  As we an protect ourselves with this word, we must keep this word in us.  

Nothing will happen if heaven does not help you.  To receive heaven's help, you need to act according to God's will and do what is right before God.

How to qualify to be part of God's Kingdom?


Do you want to be a part of God's Kingdom?




James 1:18 
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfurits of all he created.

Revelation 7:3-4
Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.  Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel

Hebrews 5:13
When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself

Hebrews 8:10
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord

Amos 8:11
The days are coming, declares the Sovereign Lord when I will send a famine through the land' not a famine of good or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord

Shinchonji is the eternal kingdom God promised


Shincheonji (formerly Shinchonji)
New Heaven and New Earth



Shincheonji is the newly create Kingdom of God after the old one (previous heaven) ended.  It is the Kingdom which God rules over (Revelation 19:6).  It is a kingdom newly

created after the dragon (Devil) was caught and locked in the Abyss, so no one will be able to take it or destroy it; it is an eternal kingdom (Dan 2:44).  God had hidden the creation of his kingdom in the Bible and He reveled it today, which is the 12 tribes of Shincheonji.

Let us look through the process of the creation of Shincheonji.  God ended the corrupted previous heaven and sent Jesus to the earth 2,000 years ago in order to open the new era.  Jesus then fulfilled all the promises of the Old Testament (John 19:30).  At the first coming, Heaven and God were with Jesus, but the people at that time did not believe or accept him.  As a result, the Kingdom of heaven was taken away from the Israelites and given to the people who would produce 12 fruits every month (Mt. 21:43).

Jesus came and sowed the seed according to the promise of the Old Testament.  He also promised that the time of harvesting will come (Jer. 31:27, Mt. 13:24-30).  Today, at the second coming, the new nation of God was created after the fruits of the sowed seed of the past 2,000 years were harvested and sealed.  The first fruits who are created with the word of Revelation, which is the word of truth, and the New Testament, are the saints of the 12 tries of Shincheonji (James 1:18).

True entity of God's kingdom of peace

The biblical history of war for 6,000 years

The world that God reign is the world of paradise and the world of peace.  God created heaven and earth and all things and people in it 6,000 years ago and He dwelt among them.  However, God left due to the sins of Adam (Gen. 1:2-3; Gen. 6:3).  Satan has reigned over this world where God is no longer (Mt. 4:8-9; Lk 4:5-6).  It has become the world of wars and death.  God has been working to restore the world (Ref. 1 Cor 15:27-28) and Satan has been working to keep the world which he has taken from God.  Thus, there has been wars between God (and His world) and Satan (and his world) for the last 6,000 years.  There were physical wars before the first coming of Jesus and spiritual wars after Jesus' first coming (Ref. Eph 6:12).  In order for God who left the world, to return and be with people, the problem of sin must be resolved.  God sent Jesus as the prince of peace to the world at the time of the first coming to resolve the problem of sin.  However,  God's chosen people at the time did not receive him but crucified him(John 1:11, Mt. 27).  Therefore, there have been only wars (spiritual) but no peace in the world.  As a result, Jesus said not one stone will be left on another, every one will be thrown down (Mt 24).  He promised that he would return, not to bear sin, and at that time he will make the enemies his footstool.  
Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed it it will stand -Isaiah 14:24

God's kingdom of peace re-created today
What all creation and men want is for God's kingdom to be fulfilled on earth as it is done in heaven(Roman 8:18-23).  Revelation chapter 4 says that God (and His spirits) is coming and God's spiritual tabernacle will come to people and dwell among them in Revelation 21.  Then, the spirits in the spiritual world and the flesh on earth will unite and this is the world that God and we desire which is the world of peace and God's world (Revelation 20:4-6).  God's word of promise have been fulfilled in the biblical history of 6000 years (Isaiah 14:24; Mt 5:18).  The dragon (Satan) will be captured and God's kingdom will be created on earth today at the time of the second coming according to the promises in the New Testament.  This kingdom is created through the promised pastor who overcame.  God, the spiritual kingdom of heaven and Jesus are with the one who overcomes(Revelation 3:12).  It is the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony where those who overcame the group of beast are gathered and where all nations come to worship God according to the promises in the Bible(Revelation 15:2, 5).  
Shinchonji, the new heaven and the new earth, Kingdom of God

Shincheonji life giving quotes

In Him was life, and that life was the light of men


If we do not know God's position and situation, how are we able to follow God's heart and work well accordingly to His will?  Our faith can stand firm once we come to complete understanding.  Thus, we must first know and understand what God's will and heart is. 

If we are people who are to inherit everything by overcoming, then we become the owners.  If that is the case,  shouldn't we love what was given?  And since we love, we must correct things that are wrong along the way.

We must forsake our own personal thought, but only follow the word and become one with the Word of God

There are many famous people in this world.  However, in the eyes of God those who are acknowledge by God will be considered as renowned  Let us become these people whom God acknowledges. 

Shincheonji, the 12 Tribes

The place God will descend upon 


God's only theological school is the Zion Mission Center (Revelation 14:1-5).  God's only temple is the Temple of the Tabernacle Testimony.  God, one and only, will descend upon one person and that is the one who overcomes (Revelation 3:12).  All nations will come here and worship where God is at (Revelation 15:4-5).  This is also the place where all believers will settle and it is God's new kingdom, Shincheonji the 12 tribes.  This is where the heaven in the spiritual world and God (and Jesus)will descend upon and become one with and there will no longer be any death or pain or mourning (Revelation 21:1-4). This is what the Eastern prophet meant when he once said (source: the writings and prophecies of Kyukam Yoluk Namsago). "The first joyful Word since ancient times, the end of death and the beginning of eternal life, Shincheonji." Let us always be thankful in our prayers as we have been freed fro sin thanks to Jesus' blood and we have become God's family (Revelation 1:5-6).

Beautiful thoughts

The life - giving quotes from Shincheonji


No matter how great the world's philosophy is, it cannot even make one root of grass.  But god created the heavens and the earth and all creation.  This is why it is written that God is "wise" - Job 12:13, Isaiah 40:28
God is philosophy and he is life.  Since we are already pursuing philosophy, shouldn't we learn "God's philosophy?"



If we Truly believe in God and the Bible then we should know what the Bible is trying to tell us.  We should go inside the Bible and analyze its content. 


Identity of the Satan

The true identity of Satan and the beginning and the end of Adam and Noah's world.
Adam, who was created by God, did not believe in God's Word even though God told hi not to eat from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  Adam was deceived by the serpent and he betrayed.  The serpent who betrayed Adam is the dragon or Satan.  He used to be one of the four cherubs(leader of angels) and he opposed God and he betrayed (Ezekiel 28) and that is how he became Satan.  The two trees that were in the Garden of Eden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  The tree of life was from God's seed and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was from the devil's seed.  This is why God warned Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  

This is why God warned Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  Adam and Eve knew this but they did not obey God.  as Adam's descendents   started to grow on earth. the sons of God started to marry the daughters of men and they became flesh.  As the sin of man controlled the world, God left man and man was led to death(Genesis 6).  After God chose Noah he judged Adam's world through a flood.  How ever, Satan's sprit went into "Ham" and  Noah's world betrayed as well.

God made a promise a promise o Abraham who is of the bloodline of "Shem" who is the son of Noah.  Jacob's family, their descendant, went into the Gentile Egypt and four generations later the promise was fulfilled through Moses.  The law was given through Moses and the Israelites were told to keep it.  The world before Moses was summarized and written in Moses' Pentateuch.  The law was like a tutor to bring them to Christ through elementary teaching as the people in that era had weak faith.  The Israelites who went into the land of Canaan believed in many different gods and so Joshua told his people to pick only one.  The people promised that they would believe in God.  However, during Solomon's time they again served different Gentile gods and the nation was divided into north and south and in the end they were destroyed by the Gentiles.  This brought the end to the Israelites.

Who persecute God's kingdom?

Those who persecute God's kingdom and the people who belong to it


One of the cherubim who once belonged to God in the spiritual realm sinned and betrayed God because of his greed.  Thus, he became Satan(Ez. 28; Is 14:12-15).  Likewise, int he physical world,  there appears an entity whom Satan works through.  He betrays God out of his own greed and creates his own sect to appose God's work - this is the work of the betrayer.  When Adam sinned, God left mankind.  Thus, Satan have been ruling the world for the last 6,000 years.  The group of people that belong to Satan have been working to persecute and kill messengers sent b God in every generation.

Jesus said, "They hate and persecute me because I have done among them what no one else did" (John 15:18-25).  The world has been under the rule of Satan ever since God left the world ever since God left the world but, in the time of Revelation, God rules once again.  Thus, everything will be done according to God's will.

From the First Coming until the time of Revelation, the secrets of the kingdom of heaven were spoken  figuratively.  However, today at the time of Revelation when the New Testament is fulfilled, the Spirit of truth, the Counselor, testifies everything plainly including the physical entities through which the prophecies have been fulfilled (John 16:13-15, 25).   Ever since Jesus came at the First Coming, the seeds have been sown in his field for approximately 2,000 years.

However, it is now the time of harvest, when the fruits of the seed are gathered.  The like-fruits are harvested and sealed to create the 144,000, the twelve tribes of God's kingdom - this is the New Heaven and New Earth(Shincheonji).  After the 144,00(people) are completed, the great multitude are created thought the nations.  The New Heaven and New Earth is the kingdom promised by God and Jesus through the New Testament.  This is where God, Jesus, and the heaven of the spiritual realm.

If anyone persecutes this kingdom by making up lies, which spirit do the belong to? Because they persecute and curse the kingdom promised by God, we cannot deny that they belong to the devil.

Another Counselor, the Spirit of truth


Who is 'another Counselor' Jesus promised to send?

John 14: 13-31

Jesus said that he will do whatever is asked for  'in his name' (v. 13-14).  So we cannot seek in any one's name other than Jesus.  And Jesus promised that he will send 'another Counselor' to be with you forever.  This Counselor is the Spirit of truth, and this Spirit will dwell in a person.  Just like God dwelled in Jesus at the First Coming, the Spirit of truth that Jesus promised will also dwell in a person (v. 15-17) today.  The spirit of truth, the one who comes in the name of Jesus will teach people all things and will remind people of everything Jesus said (v. 26).

At that time (at the Second Coming), the spirit of Jesus dwell in us (v. 20).  If one loves Jesus, he will obey his teaching(commandment).  And God will love him, and it is promised that God and Jesus will come to make their home with him(v.23).

This very word spoken to the disciples is not the word of Jesus; it belongs to God, who sent Jesus (v, 24).  The Jews couldn't recognize Jesus, whom God sent because they only insisted on the Law at the First Coming.  Instead of embracing him, they persecuted and killed him.  Likewise, if one does not know the world of prophecies at the time of the Second Coming, he/she cannot not acknowledge the Sprit of truth nor the messenger whom the Spirit is with (Rev. 22:16).

The reason that Jesus spoke of all these things ahead of time(prophecies) is to that people may believe at the time of the fulfillment (v. 29).

Shincheonji life giving quotes


  • We must have the 'correct knowledge' of the Bible

  • We can only attain certain faith if we understand the Word completely.  If we don't understand completely, we can't attain confident faith

  • Once you hear the Word, you must be able to digest it in your mind  You must broaden your way of thinking, not constrict it

  • We must have an absolute faith in Gd's word.  If you just utter that you believe when you don't actually believe, God will not acknowledge you

  • If you truly desire to enter heaven, you must meet the criteria and live up to its value.  Therefore, we must have greater knowledge of the truth than anyone else, and we must have greater faith in God (with certainty) than anyone else

  • New Heaven: New Tabernacle    New Earth: New flesh or new person(saint)         
1) When the generation of Christianity comes to an end (Rv. 6:12-14), it makes known the               new generation that is being re-created (Rv. 7)

3) After Jesus has sown the seed at the First Coming (Jer 31, Mt. 13:24-25), he returns to                 create people of God's new kingdom - the sealed 144,000 (priests) of the 12 tribes of                     Shincheonji; thereafter, the gathering of the great multitude.
         
4) The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, where all nations gather to worship (                   Rv. 15:2-5)



The importance of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, where all nations gather to worship (Rv. 15:2-5) 
- Two thousand years ago, after Jesus ascended, this is the promise of Revelation he gave John in a vision.  This is the objective and final work of God being fulfilled.
