Shincheonji Volunteers Show Why Peace Matters

Paper boats are placed in a map of the world to show that peace is being spread by Shincheonji Volunteers and all who are involved

In a world today where there is much war and suffering, peace is the first thing that many people look forward to in this day and age. It is difficult for many to imagine a peaceful world, but it is possible if everyone takes peace into their own hands. Shincheonji volunteers look forward to every moment where peace can be expressed. Through volunteer events such as "Love for the Nation and Sharing Peace," peace is being spread all around the nation and even through media.

Today, nations seek for peace, but more than the nation as a whole, children seek for peace. In a world where there is so much war and chaos, the ones who will fight are those who are young and those who have future dreams. Shincheonji volunteers put in their efforts to make peace happen for those who truly are looking for it. Although it may seem like baby steps, one by one, it will surely fulfill if everyone takes matters into their own hands.

Sharing One Heart through Farming

Although most of the volunteer work of Shincheonji Volunteers may take place within the city, little may many know that Shincheonji Volunteers also go into the rural areas of the country to give back a little to the earth and the people. Shincheonji Volunteers commit their entire day from early morning to the setting of the sun. By helping the elderly farmers who tend their crops everyday, it gives an opportunity for these hard working farmers to take a day of rest.

As Shincheonji Volunteers know the heart of a farmer by understanding the heart of God who had planted love and a heart of sacrifice for our existence. With the young hands and hearts of Shincheonji Volunteers, a helping hand is given freely without burden.

After a long days of work, Shincheonji Volunteers give their goodbye greetings with a smile.

Although the day was filled with hard work and the impending heat of the sun, Shincheonji Volunteers understand that farmers experience what they did that day on a daily basis. With that understanding, Shincheonji Volunteers are wholeheartedly grateful for the efforts of the farmers who work to feed the people of the nation and of the world. Shincheonji farmers leave the farms with bright smiles and prepare their hearts to hopefully return another day.

Share a Piece of Peace

Shincheonji Volunteers take part in show performances that alleviate the hearts of veterans who fought in war

Shincheonji volunteer group hosted an event that was titled, "Love for the Nations Spreading Peace." This event was held to commemorate respect for the veterans who gave up their lives fighting for the nation and for the veterans who live to tell the tale. Veterans of the 6.25 Korean War were honored for their efforts and special performances were done in unison with their hearts in order to stop war and bring peace. Performances were filled with the culture of the nation to remind the veterans that the war they fought was not in vain as it preserved the unique and elegant culture of the nation.

Displays of the Korean War were posted to remind citizens of the grace and peace that resulted from the hard efforts of the Veterans

Many people in the audience were able to experience the heart of the veterans and felt an inspiration to make sure that wars are brought to an end for the sake of many lives. A Shincheonji Volunteer said, "Through this meaningful event, everyone was able to feel the pain of war and many were reminded of the preciousness of peace. Furthermore, people of many religions who partook in the war were able to understand the deeper heart of the pains experiences by war veterans." With the much sacrifice of the veterans, Shincheonji Volunteers remind us that volunteering is not for recognition, but that it is truly to be one with those who sacrificed their lives for the sake of volunteer opportunities to exist. Let us never forget the grace and thankful hearts we should have to be living and breathing everyday.

Let's Look at the Determination of Shincheonji Volunteers

Why do Shincheonji Volunteers do the work of volunteering?

It is to leaving a lasting and eternal impression of the 6,000 years of work done by God.

What is being testified?

Because God is light, the children of light act according to that light. With a heart of gratitude, efforts are willingly made to repay the one who has been working for 6,000 years for this work to finally appear today. Also it burns in the heart of volunteers for them to share the love of God and the path of love that God has paved all this time for every single living being to walk on.

Why do Shincheonji Volunteers sacrifice so much?

At Shincheonji, the first thing that is learned is "why have our lives been so far from God" and to make that answer known, Shincheonji volunteers work will all their hearts and will. That is why those who learn are able to know the heart and will of God. With that knowledge and faith, they are fueled to run with a heart of determination and purpose. There is more than meets the eye when it comes to Shincheonji Volunteers! Truly truly there is source to their passion and fervency and it is evident that God's heart is in them.

The Most Extraordinary Work First Starts Small

Shincheonji Volunteers have gone out to the city to start a work that many may see as a work that leaves no impact. However, Shincheonji Volunteers believe that every work starts small and the end result leaves an impact to the entire world. Shincheonji volunteers remove trash from the sidewalks, repaint poles that have been damaged, remove old postings and lastly, leave a smile on the faces of appreciative pedestrians who walk by.

A Shincheonji Volunteer said during volunteering that "Although this work may seem small and the efforts put in may go unrecognized, it leaves a lasting impression of happinessin the hearts of pedestrians who walk in sidewalks everyday." Another Shincheonji Volunteer said "if the sidewalks stay clean then the hearts of many people will surely remain clean as well." Through the individual volunteer efforts, the world is surely bound to change starting with the streets.

Shincheonji Volunteer Language of Happiness

Shincheonji Volunteers have gone out of language barriers with one language which is happiness. A campaign was started in efforts of reaching out to the people of Mongolia. The name of the campaign was "Sharing Happiness with Mongolian Together." In order to bring smiles to the faces of the Mongolian people, Shincheonji Volunteers filled boxes that contained daily life necessities for the burdened lives of Mongolians. The boxes specifically contained clothes, toothpaste, and bath items in order to spark the happiness all around the Mongolian community.

A heart of love was given in order to make the world that much more beautiful and heartfelt. Through the efforts of Shincheonji Volunteer, the heart of sacrifice was portrayed and has left a spark of impact that will spread all around the world.

With the world already being an art form itself, Shincheonji volunteers take the extra step to make what is already beautiful into something majestical. Shincheonji volunteers do not only partake in this work alone, but also involve many people who have the same heart to appreciate what has been given to all mankind.

Without discrimination of cultures and religions, Shincheonji Volunteers work to portray the motto of "We are One." A respectable monk who had passed by had seen the murals and was inspired to break all boundaries that separate one another under the heavens in order to experience oneness of religions and cultures.

One Shincheonji Volunteer happily said, " It was a joyful time in which we as Shincheonji volunteers were given the opportunity to portray the wonderful work of God." As the work of creating a beautiful world into a majestic dwelling, Shincheonji Volunteers and many people of different religions and cultures will and are working hand in hand to fulfill the motto that "We are One."

What Is War, When Does It Happen, and Which Side Will You Be On?

What is war, deception, test, persecution, betrayal, and salvation according to the Bible?

These things officially happen at the time of the Second Coming. Minor events similar to these has happened in the time leading up to the Second Coming, but the war, deception, test, persecution, betrayal, and salvation that are recorded in Matthew 24 and Revelation are prophecies for the end of age.  That is why these events officially happen at the Second Coming.

Whenever there is a work of God on earth, the opposing work also happens.  A war between God and Satan, the devil begins. Looking back at history, a war between God’s messengers and Satan’s pastors happened each time God’s messengers appeared.  In other words, a war begins because God and His organization fight against Satan and false teachings by exposing all that is false.    

We must know that at the time of the First Coming, the messenger who prepared the way came first before the true pastor appeared.  The true pastor appeared after God’s tabernacle was taken over by Satan’s pastors, and God was with him. In the same manner, we know that at the time of the Second Coming, the seven stars (messengers) who prepare the way come first, and the promised pastor comes after God’s tabernacle is taken over, and then God is with him.

The deception, test, persecution, and betrayal recorded in the Bible happen to the chosen people of God’s tabernacle. Those who deceive and persecute them are Satan’s pastors and his church members. By seeing this, the congregation members who believe in the words of the promise in the Bible will be able to distinguish who belongs to Satan and who belongs to God.  God’s chosen people fall into temptation by being deceived, and they end up betraying God and belong to the group of Satan, which is the enemy. This is recorded in Revelation 13, which says that the chosen people of the tabernacle receive a mark from Satan’s pastors and worship him.

Have you seen this event? Those who were victorious over the pastors of dragon, that is, the beast and his image and the number of his name, came out from the location where the event of Revelation 13 took place and gathered at the temple of Revelation 15.  Come to this temple.  The temple is called, “The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony” because those gathered in this tabernacle testify to what they saw and heard in the tabernacle of heaven (tabernacle temple) in Revelation 13, the place where all events of Revelation took place. The people gathered in this tabernacle are well aware of such events. Those who have not seen the events of chapter 13 must hear about them from those who have fought and overcome in chapter 13.

Shincheonji Teaching, If you want to Overcome Trial?

 

Shincheonji Teaching,

If you want to overcome trial?

 

 

 

• Faith and Deception

 

Main reference: Jude (Mt 24:4, Lk 13:23-30, Gal 3:23-29)

 

What is faith and deception?

Apostle Paul wrote that Abraham was called a forefather of faith.  Abraham was not justified by works, but his faith was credited as righteousness (Rom 4:1-11).

In regards to deception, Jesus warned to not be deceived by people at the end of age (Mt 24:4). In Genesis 3, Eve was deceived by the snake when she ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Eventually, she died. After Adam and Eve were deceived, they hid and did not appear before God.  They did not ask God when they were being deceived. All this happened because their minds had already been overtaken by the snake.

As seen in Matthew 4, Jesus fought and overcame with the word when he was tempted by the snake, in other words, the devil. Many of us faced such trials and even deception by the enemy but have overcome. As it is recorded, Satan masquerades himself as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade themselves as servants of righteousness (2 Cor 11:13-15). Our faith is in the Word rather than in a person’s flesh. One will overcome trials if he has the Word.

On Eternal Life Discourse of Jesus Christ -Shincheonji Bible Words

Shincheonji Bible Words,

<Jesus Christ’s Discourse on Eternal Life>

 

 

 

Let's try to think about "Jesus Christ’s discourse on eternal life"

 

This is an explanation for all churches and believers that they might have a true life of faith.

Let us examine what Jesus taught regarding eternal life in the following passages so we can truly make this knowledge our own.

I bring up this topic because people persecute us as heresy without knowing the true meaning of the Bible themselves. Perhaps discussing exactly what Jesus said in the NT about this topic will help to alleviate some confusion.

• Jn 8:47-55

“The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond, because you don’t belong to God.” The Judeans replied, “Aren’t we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?” Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father – and yet you dishonor me. I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges. I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death.” Then the Judeans responded, “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’ You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?” Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you people say, ‘He is our God.’ Yet you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his teaching.”

•  Jn 11:25-27

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies, and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”

•  Rom 8:9-11

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.

• Rev 21:1~4

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”

• Jn 14:16-17

Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever – the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

• Jn 14:20

You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

• Rev 3:20

Listen! I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home and share a meal with him, and he with me.

• Gal 4:6

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls “Abba! Father!”



Do the scriptures above say that only the spirit lives eternally or do these say that even the body can live eternally? Is there death in the kingdom of heaven?

Take a close look and read at the bible again!

Shincheonji, Prophecy & Fulfillment

Shincheonji Teaching,
"Do you Believe in Prophecy
and its Fulfillment?"

When are the new heaven and new earth created after the first heaven and first earth disappear?

Where are they created? And who are they? What kind of kingdom are they?

The time when they are created is the Lord’s second coming when Revelation in the New Testament is fulfilled. At that time, Spiritual Israel (churches of Jesus) is destroyed and comes to an end. The Lord returns to harvest and seal people, and he creates God’s new kingdom (new heaven and new earth) here on earth. The new kingdom Jesus creates is the twelve tribes of Shincheonji Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (the 144,000 priests and the people of the great multitude). This is the kingdom promised in the New Testament. It is heaven, and its people are the people of heaven. This is truly the kingdom, which is the fulfillment of the New Testament of the prophecy that Jesus gave so that we would believe when it happens.


God even prophesied to fulfill this kingdom from the Old Testament (Jer 31).

According to that prophecy, Jesus came and sowed seed(Mt 13).

Today grains are harvested and sealed, and the twelve tribes are created in accordance with the promises(Rv 14).


God had Satan appear in order to create this promised kingdom, and Revelation 13 describes the events of the appearance of Satan. Satan appeared according to the prophecies, and as a matter of fact, a trap was set up to capture Satan (refer to Jer 50:24). These are the events of Revelation 13 and 12.

As the promised pastor fought against the dragon and overcame it, he has become Israel (New Spiritual Israel) and has created the twelve tribes.

It is from this time on that the kingdom of God and salvation can come (Rv 12:10-11). Do you believe in this prophecy and its fulfillment?
