In 1Cor 15:20-26, ‘the firstfruit of those who have fallen asleep’ was Jesus and then the ones that follow are those who belong to him when he comes back.

 

The firstfruits are the fruits that are harvested after sowing the seed for 2,000 years (Rv 14:1-5), therefore these people are the ones who belong to Jesus at the time of his Second Coming.

 

The spirits of who were martyred because of their testimony of Jesus and word of God are also ones who belong to Jesus.

 

These two existences of spirits and fleshes will take part in the first resurrection (Rv 20:4-6).

 

This is the promise and fulfillment.

 

This is the promise that was told before it happens, so that when it does happen we will believe (Jn 14:29).

"Sixth day" Genesis Chapter 1
Source : Shincheonji cafe

♣ Sixth day (vv. 24-31)
 
God creates livestock, creatures that move along the ground, wild animals, and man. The Bible says that Moses built what he saw in heaven here on earth. If you look at Rv 4, it shows the images of the four living creatures in the spiritual heaven— the lion, ox, eagle, and man. The fact that God creates the livestock, wild animals, creatures that move along the ground, and man on earth, shows how he creates them according to what is done in heaven. Thus, the sixth day explains that God builds the structure of the four living creatures, the heavenly army on earth, according to the structure of the four living creatures in heaven.  
 
Furthermore, God creates man in his own image and likeness. If one desires to resemble God’s image and likeness, and if he desires to become a person with the same nature as God’s, then he must be born again of God’s word and the holy spirit (Jn 3:5; 1 Pt 1:23).
 
God commands the man he created to be fruitful, increase in number, subdue the earth, and rule over the fish of the sea, birds of the air, and every living creature on earth. God also grants man every seed-bearing plant and every tree that has fruit with seed in it for his food. Through these blessings, the man becomes the lord of all creation and the heir to receive God’s inheritance. This is the creation on the sixth day.

"Fifth day" Genesis Chapter 1

Having considered such problems, if the creation of Gn 1 is understood as the creation of the physical world, it is illogical and makes absolutely no sense.

Only when it is viewed as the spiritual creation of God’s world,

can it be taken logically.

 

The creation recorded in Genesis chapter 1 is regarding the creation of the old and new (creation and recreation), referring to recreation when the previous creation becomes corrupt and goes wrong.

This is not a record of the literal creation of the world; it is merely taking all that’s recorded figuratively to explain spiritual creation in parables.

    

♣ Fifth day (vv. 20-23)

And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky. *So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. *God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth. *And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. 


God let the water teem with living creatures and let birds fly above the earth, across the expanse of the sky. God also creates different kinds of fish and birds and blesses them. God commands them to be fruitful and increase in number in the seas and on the earth. Jesus compares birds to spirits, and fish to people. This means, therefore, that God enables his people to prosper and spread out through the world.

"Fourth day" Genesis Chapter 1
Source : Shincheonji cafe

♣ Fourth day (vv. 14-19)

God creates a greater light and a lesser light in the expanse, and lets them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years. God lets the greater light (the sun) govern the day, and the lesser light (the moon) govern the night. He also creates stars and sets them in the expanse to govern the day and the night, and separates light from darkness.

Let us examine some 'problems on the fourth day' we are facing in Genesis 1.

God creates the sky on the second day and the earth on the third day. In Revelation 21, it says the new heaven and earth created, was made known after the first heaven and earth disappeared. In light of this content in Rv 21, let us examine what the sky (the surface of the deep) and the waters are on the first day.

The light appears on the first day, but there is no sun, moon, or stars in the expanse created on the second day. The grass, vegetation, and the trees created on the third day, can only exist through the light of the first day. Since the evening and morning repeat three times, bringing the third day, God calls each of them the first, second, and the third days.
   
If these are referring to the light, day, and night of the natural world, what are the sun (the greater light), moon (the lesser light), and stars on the fourth day? How come the seasons, days, and years start to be marked from the fourth day? Does this mean that there are two Suns in the sky? On top of these questions, why is the sky located in the middle of the waters?

Now, let us understand the creation on the fourth day.

God finds one pastor (light) when the heaven and earth (the first heaven and earth) of one generation becomes chaotic and dark (first day). God establishes his tabernacle, the sky (the expanse) through that pastor (second day). By having God’s tabernacle established, people of the world (the water below or the sea) are distinguished from the dry ground (God’s people), which are revealed to the world. Through these people of God, God lets good vegetation grow from the land (fourth day). This good vegetation also represents God’s saints. This is the creation that occurred both in the times of Adam and Noah.

On the fourth day, God structures the throne of the kingdom of heaven—the sun, moon, and stars—through the saints who are previously gathered. From this time, the seasons, days, and years of God’s kingdom can be marked and counted. However, the beginning of the creation starts from the first day. This kingdom of God comes to govern the heaven and earth, day and night.

Genesis Chapter 1 "Second day"
Source : Shincheonji cafe

The creation recorded in Genesis chapter 1 is regarding the creation of the old and new (creation and recreation), referring to recreation when the previous creation becomes corrupt and goes wrong. This is not a record of the literal creation of the world; it is merely taking all that’s recorded figuratively to explain spiritual creation

in parables.

♣ Second day (vv. 6-8)
  
After God chooses the light (the pastor] from the dark waters, God creates an expanse (i.e. the sky or heaven) between the waters on the second day. He also separates the water under the expanse from the water above it.

This is not the literal water in the world. How can the sky exist in the midst of the waters? The waters symbolize the world, and the expanse symbolizes the tabernacle, which God creates in the middle of the world. A ship in the midst of the sea, such as Noah’s ark, can also represent God’s tabernacle.

 The water above and the water below, refer to the revealed word granted from heaven, and the worldly words respectively. To say this again, after God finds and appoints the pastor of light from the previous destroyed world, God builds an ark or a tabernacle, and referred to it as the expanse in the world. After God’s tabernacle is established, his word from above can be clearly distinguished from the words of the world below.

Rev 3:12 The one who Overcomes in the Bible

Who's he who overcomes in the Bible??

Rev 21:6~7
He said to me "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

Rev 3:12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.

Never again will he leave it.

 I will write on him the name of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I(Jesus) will also write on him my new name.

Who is he who overcomes in the Bible?

Why is labeling Shincheonji as a cult (heresy)?

Why is the divided CCK, labeling Shinchonji as a heresy(cult)?

 

Why is the divided CCK, labeling Shinchonji as a heresy? 

When this question is asked, no one usually answers.
People are calling Shinchonji 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 Shinchonji, 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 Shinchonji.
This is the evidence Shincheonji is not a heresy(cult).
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.

Jesus is the Word of life (1 Jn 1:1-2), the way, the truth, and life (Jn 14:6), and the Spirit of God descended and came upon him as a dove (Mt 3:16). The same Jesus said that he is the true vine (Jn 15:1-5), so Jesus is in fact the tree of life that bears 12 kinds of fruits (Refer to Rv 22:1-2).

Just as God fulfilled his promise to Abraham at the time of Moses (Ex 12) and how God fulfilled the Old Testament at the first coming of Jesus (Jn 19:30), the New Testament is being fulfilled, and Shincheonji is testifying the physical fulfillment of the word(Rev 1:2; Rev 10, 22:16).

This precious word is priceless and untradeable even if the whole world was given in exchange. Due to this reason, the teaching is without charge......

Like the tree of life in Rev 22 that has 12 branches and bear fruit every month, there are over 1000 students graduating every month throughout the 12 tribes of Shincheonji.
In Jn 15, Jesus is referred to as the tree of life.

People who graduate from the Zion Christian Mission Center are born by the world of life and are the first fruits.

In accordance to God’s will, students did not graduate from seminaries of the world, but learned the word of heaven and graduated in heaven.

-Isa 52:13~53:12
 

See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Just as there were many who were appalled at him-his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-so will he sprinkle many nations, because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Life one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on hm the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.

And who can speak of his descendants?

For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.

Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he pured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Peace! When religions are united through the truth!!

 

Peace - the most valuable culture we must create

<Shinchonji of New Arom>

What would be the common culture everyone must pursue today?

I believe it is <peace> which is the most superordinate concept and universal value that everyone should have.

Thus, many people have pursued peace and endeavoured for peace.

However, peace is still far away from us.


Peace campaigns paradoxically acknowledge that peace cannot become a reality by some kind of campaign or slogan.

People have overlooked the fact that there is a logical order to accomplish peace as they shout, “Peace! peace!”

Peace can be accomplished when war, which blocks peace, comes to an end.

We must find the answer to the reason for war. The answer is religion. What is ironic is the fundamental principle of religion is peace.

This tells us that religion has already broken away from its fundamental principle.

Religion strayed from its origin not because it was the will of the lord of religion but because man, who was a created being, became greedy.

As a result, the lord of religion left and man pretended like he was the lord of religion.

Consequently, instead of achieving peace, which was the fundamental principle of religion, religion caused disputes, quarrels, dissensions and wars as it could be seen today. This situation must be restored.

The way to restoration is to unite the religions because the lord of the religion is one.

The only way to restore is through truth. When religions are united through the truth, there will be no more wars and peace will come.

This is the order of things and truth itself.

The new era, the era of Shincheonji is created through the culture of heaven

The new era, the era of Shincheonji (i.e. new heaven and new earth), is created through the culture of heaven. Let’s bring peace and restore light for each individual and for the world through the culture of heaven! The one who can accomplish peace and restore light is the person of the culture of heaven, who has seen and heard what was in heaven, and who has received commands from above.



That which enables one to overcome and to renew the creation is the culture of heaven.

Let’s examine some of the great figures from the 6,000 years of the biblical history and their accomplishment. God made promises as well as carried out the work of creation. The ones who testified about God’s promises and creation were the people chosen by heaven. Adam was the first man (the chosen person, the chosen pastor). Noah, Moses, and Jesus were also chosen by heaven afterwards. Siddhartha and Confucius prophesied about the coming Jesus. Who, then, is the pastor whom God has promised through Jesus and his 12 disciples in the New Testament (i.e. NT)? Jesus has prophesied that he would put this promised pastor in charge of all his possessions (Mt 24:45-47).



Let’s bring peace and restore light for each individual and for the world through the culture of heaven!

The pastor promised in the NT is the one who overcomes in the battle agaiRv 2-3, Rv 12). God renews the world through him who overcomes. The creation has eagerly been waiting (Rom 8) for the one who overcomes to appear (Rv 21:7). The creation has been waiting in eager expectation for him to appear because the one who overcomes can liberate them from their bondage to decay and renew them.

< Religious Unification, World Peace & The Restoration of Light>

 

• Through whom and with what will Religious unification, world peace & the restoration of light be achieved?

After the disobedience and sin of Adam, God, the creator of heaven and earth, gave His word (the Bible) to the people so they could come out of the world of wickedness and be restored to their originally created state. The Bible contains God’s will. World peace and the restoration of light will come if the work is done in accordance to the Bible. This is the promised restoration that is recorded in the Bible, and thus religious unification and world peace will be achieved.

There are approximately 200 different races, and approximately 5,000 languages in the world. There are also many different religions. This is the reality of the global community. Although religious people all say they believe in the one true God, they all have different ways of believing, and it is mainly due to these religious differences that conflicts occur around the world. Conflicts also occur due to power struggles. Regardless of who you are, in order for this world to attain peace and the restoration of light, you must be born again through the seed and spirit of God. For this, all religions must become one through one truth.

• Who will do this work?

God. God proclaims to the whole world what He will fulfill (prophecy), and once it has been preached throughout the whole world (refer to Mt 24:14), God appoints the promised messenger, the one who speaks on behalf. Then, at the time of Jesus’ second coming, which is today, God fulfills the promises of the New Testament. God shows the fulfillment to the chosen messenger who speaks on behalf, and it is made known to the churches (Rv 22:16).

The churches that hear this message must verify the New Testament fulfillment and believe it in order to be the family of God, and through this all religions will be unified.

The word of promise and the revealed word of fulfillment, contain the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, the seed, and spirit of God. Those who receive the faith that is revealed (faith that has been revealed) will become one. They become one because they are born again of the same seed and spirit, thus all religions will be unified by becoming one. This is God’s will and the promise that is to be fulfilled.

Next, the religious people who became one with the Holy Spirit will renew the world, which has been corrupted due to religion. This will be accomplished through the unprecedented culture of heaven.

•  What is the culture of heaven that helps establish world peace and the restoration of light?

On the 1st of March 1919, 33 religious leaders (national representative) from different religions gathered and read the Declaration of Independence and declared the independence of our country. In its content was proclaimed; ‘Shinchonji’s heavenly culture will soon renew the world.’ From that time until today, even though many people say they love their country and want world peace, there has not been peace on this earth. Wars have continued due to religion, and young people continue to die in war.

Today, the culture of heaven, which can achieve world peace and the restoration of light, can only be found in Shincheonji. Only Shincheonji can achieve this heavenly culture. This is why we are called Shincheonji (new heaven and new earth). Achieving this heavenly culture is not possible if God is not present with us, or if God does not give us the ability to fulfill it. 

What was shown in the World Peace Festival: On September 16, 2012, Shincheonji, Church of Jesus came together and united to present a cultural and sports Celebration of Restoring Light. It showed the heavenly culture that will end war on this earth and achieve world peace.

(War Version) Amazing grace! how sweet the sound! & War in the Bible

(War Version) Amazing grace! how sweet the sound!

1. Amazing grace! how sweet the sound! That saved a wretch like me!
    I once was lost, but am found; Was blind, but now I see.

2. "Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!

3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come.
"Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And  grace will lead me home.

4. When we've been here ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun Amen.

War in the Bible

Main reference : Mt 24:6-8

What kind of war does the Bible speak of?

In physical war, the flesh is killed and in spiritual war spirits are killed. Whether it is spiritual or physical, war involves killing and taking away from each other.   

The war of Mt 24 occurs in the temple of God. The events of Rv 13 and the entire book of Revelation occur in God’s tabernacle (temple) as well. The war that takes place in the four gospels and Revelation is the war between God and the devil – the war between God’s pastor and Satan’s pastor. Why do these wars occur? 

...

Through what was mentioned above, we can see that ‘war’ is not a physical war, but a spiritual war of words that occurs within the church. The pastors who preach the war of Revelation and the four gospels as ‘physical war, physical weapons, and physical death,’ must repent and be born again.

The Tree of Life & the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

Do you know the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good & evil?
Let's travel into the Bible~

The Tree of Life &

the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

Source : http://cafe.daum.net/scjschool/E4mY/224 

(The correct understanding of the Bible and of Shincheonji)

The seed of God’s Word of life (Jn 1:1-4) is sown and grows into the tree of life.

Jesus is the Word of life (1 Jn 1:1-2), the way, the truth, and life (Jn 14:6).

The same Jesus said that he is the true vine (Jn 15:1-5), so Jesus is in fact the tree of life that bears 12 kinds of fruits (Refer to Rv 22:1-2). Also Jesus told that he is the heaven (Mt 13:24, 37) 

In Proverbs 3:13-20, it is said that the man who finds wisdom and understanding it is a tree of life. From these verses, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil do not merely refer to physical trees, but are used as a metaphor that indicates people.    

If Jesus, the Word of life, is the tree of life, what is the tree of knowledge of good and evil (the tree that makes you know about good and evil)?

Today’s pastors of spiritual Babylon as recorded in Revelation are the trees of knowledge of good and evil, and the one who overcomes (or the ones who overcome) in Revelation 3:12, 14:1-5 and in 15:2, he and they are the trees of life. As written in Revelation, among the two types of trees in the Garden of Eden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Babylon, will be fallen after its judgment (Rv 17, 18) and thereafter, the only one which will remain to exist is the tree of life (the victor) that bears twelve kinds of fruit (Rv 22:1-2).     

To conclude, the field in which God’s Word, the seed of life is sown is neither an animal, nor the soil of the ground, it is people’s mind. The seed sown into the mind of people grows to be a big tree, which is the 12 tribes, 144,000 priests of God and a countless multitude clothed in white robes (Rv 7, 14:1-5, 5:9-10, 7:9-14). Upon them, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells (refer to Rv 20:4-6, 21:1-7). This place is the heaven as written in Matthew 13:31-32 and the tree within is the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and the tree of life that are standing on either side of the river that is formed by the water of life coming from the throne of God in the time when the prophecy of Revelation becomes fulfilled. Also, the big tree or an organization grown out from the seed of evil spirit, which is death, is the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the nation of demon, Babylon or hell (Rv 18:2). These two types of trees are the pastors that belong to either good or evil.      

God has hidden this until today and now he has revealed it, but people are mistaken due to “not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God (Mt 22:29).” But the believers who have their hopes in Heaven can reach to the salvation by believing and understanding it.

The two seeds and the two trees (the tree of life and the knowledge of good and evil) as written in Matthew chapter 13 are what Jesus has said in parables (Mt 13:24-41, Jn 15:1). These two trees were prophesized in the Old Testament, Genesis chapter 2, Ezekiel chapter 47, and Proverbs chapter 3, and these old mysteries were revealed through parables by Jesus and were prophesized again in Revelation chapter 22. In the time of the Second Coming of Jesus, the promised pastor, who saw and heard what Jesus made him understand so clearly through the angels of heaven, is testifying these things. (Jn 16:25, Rv 1:1-2, Rv 10, Rv 22:8, 16).
