The word in the beginning

The word in the beginning

The content of the following article was written on behalf of God and Jesus by the chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus based on the Bible for the public good to offer the biblical knowledge to churches and congregations. Based on Jesus's command to "let your "Yes" be "Yes", and your "No", "No.'"(Mt. 5:37) He writes his content to help believers and churches carry out the faith.

The Word in the Beginning

● The Word in the beginning was God(Jn 1:1).
● All things were made through the Word in the beginning (Jn 1:3).
● There was life inside the Word in the beginning, and this life was the light of men (Jn 1:4).
● The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it (Jn 1:5).
● The Scripture cannot be broken; those who received the Word are called "gods" (Jn 10:35)
● The seed is the word of God (Lk 8:11)
● Jesus is also the Word in the beginning (1 Jn 1:1-2).

In the beginning, in Genesis, heaven, earth, and all creation were created through "the Word in the beginning." After its betrayal and corruption from Adam and the serpent, the first heaven and first earth were destroyed and judged. Today, new heaven and new earth is recreated by the word of Revelation according to Revelation chapter 21.

God was with the Word (Jn 1:1). Because Jesus ate the scroll in Ezekiel chapter 3, Jesus was with God. Therefore, the one who received and ate the revealed word in Revelation chapter 10 is also with Jesus, who gave him the revelation. Jesus fulfilled the Book of Revelation as it was promised. In Revelation chapter 10, the one who received the opened word testifies to the churches (Rv 22:16) what he has seen and heard from the fulfillment of Revelation (Rv 22:8).

The Word in the beginning is god, who is the light of life. He created the heavens and the earth with the Word in the beginning, which is also life. The lifeline to man was cut off when God, the living creator, left man. Man had to survive with only a limit of what he had left (the breath of life), which resulted in death.

Man will receive eternal life, once God, the Word of Life, becomes one with man again In Romans chapter 8, it is written that if the Spirit of God lives inside of man, it will give life to their mortal bodies The power of the Word in the beginning is the ability to create.

The promise (prophecy) of the New Testament is the covenant which promises that God, who is life, will return to man, and Satan and the deceptive and lying false pastors will come to their end.

If we do not have the words of promise inside of us, we become the night and the reality of falsehood. If this is so, we must repent. We must become people who are born with the seed of the Word. Nothing is impossible if we try.

When we know the Word, we will know the work of re-creation done through the Word. The promised kingdom and nation is the city of truth and the tree of life. Amen.

The meaning of Night and Day, Darkness and Light in the Bible

The meaning of Night and Day, Darkness and Light in the Bible

In Genesis, chapter 1, there was night and day which were called darkness and light. Also, In 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, Paul explains about 'night and day'. And, In John, chapter 1, verse 1 said "the Word from the beginning is life and light and the light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." In John, chapter 12, Jesus said "I have come into the world as a light."

What are the meanings of night and day, darkness and light?

As written in the verses above, the light is the God's Word. On the contrary, darkness has opposite meaning. Also, Light represents people who do have God's Word and darkness represents people who do not have God's Word. Word(light) is described as life in John, chapter 1 and 1 John, chapter 1:1-2.

Therefore, in the Bible, Word of God is light, life and God. So, people who don''t have the Word of God don't have life, light and God in them. The Word from the beginning was said to be God's seed(Luke 8:11). So, person who received the Word of God received God's seed.  Even, in John 10:35, scripture said that people who receive Word of God can be called 'gods'(Acts 17:29). Person who received the Word of God can be called God's offspring.

When God created Adam, he became God's offspring. And, Adam was supposed to listen to only God's Word. However, Adam was deceived by serpent and listened to serpent. As a result Adam became to eat fruit of the tree of good and evil. After Adam who sinned against God, we all became a sinner since we are born of Adam's seed.

People who do not have God's Word and His seed is not God's offspring nor God's people. That's the reason why we need to be born again with God's seed. A person who don't have God's word is darkness. So, we need to come out from the darkness and walk into the light. So, we can be new creations and become people of day (light).

As you know, God is holy. He can't stay with sin. That's the reason we need to sanctify ourselves. God left the people who sinned and those people become night and darkness which is no life and light. Spiritually, those people equals to dead people. This is why receiving God's Word is important to believers. When we receive God's Word, we need to plant it in our hearts. It is like planting the seed of life in our heart. By doing so, we can become a new creation  and bring God back into our heart.

God is the Word from the beginning. Through God's Word, He created everything. This Word is life, light and God's seed(Lk 8:11) which makes us His son and His offspring (Jn 10:35, Acts 17:2-29). As you know, Jesus was with God and His son. That means Jesus had God's Word which can lead you to Him. So, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (Jn 14:6).

There is certain way for God to work in people. God makes a prophecy with people. And, God fulfills through His Word. For example, He made covenant with Abraham and fulfilled through His Word. Also, He made covenant with prophets in the Old Testament and fulfilled through His Word. Frankly speaking, God told us in the Bible how he would send Messiah to save people. And Jesus came exactly how God told. In the New Testament, there is new covenant(Lk 22:14-20). And, new covenant has been fulfilled according to the Words of the New Testament today.

 There are new kingdom of God called 'New Heaven and new earth' written in Rev. 21:1-2. New heaven is 'Shin Cheon(신천, 神天)' in Korean. New earth is 'Shin Ji(신지, 神地)' in Korean. Shincheonji is the abbreviation for 'Shin Cheon Shin Ji'. Shincheonji is the new kingdom which has been created according to the prophecies of the New Testament. Shincheonji is the fulfillment of Revelation.

Again, the Word of God from the beginning is God, life and light. Nothing can be fulfilled without those. After people have sinned, God's purpose was to create new kingdom, new people and Twelve tribes. In order to do that, God gave us God's Word to make us born again. This is the Words of promise in the Bible. Can you believe it? Trust what is written in the Bible.

young woman's death by religious repression in 21st century

I've posted about the late Gu Ji In. She was abducted twice. She was locked up for 44 days during first abduction. She escaped to death from coercive conversion program. Maybe, it was lucky for her because she couldn't escape this time. She must have been frightened. I would too. Let's think about the situation. I can't even image how she bore all that.

In coercive conversion program, there are lots of strangers are around. female strangers may frighten you. But, moreover there would be male strangers who look like thug. They don't let you close the door. Some place doesn't have separate space. All windows are nailed down so nobody can't open. There are no one who can help you.

Coercive conversion program started from mid 90's. It's been almost 14 years. The number of victims from only Shincheonji church is 1,287 so far.  1,280 victims experienced threat, abuse and coercion. 1,198 victims had to leave their work. 1,125 victims forcefully signed for agreement of coercive conversion program. Among victims, 1,116 were locked up, 997 were abducted, 855 were assaulted and 681 were tied up. In some case, victims were handcuffed.

In order to abduct, they use sleeping pills. 109 victims experienced it and were abducted while they fell asleep. And, extremely, 11 victims were locked up in mental care hospital since victims didn't change their religion. Including Gu Ji In, 2 victims were killed out of coercive conversion program. One was blunt. The other was suffocated.

Where is human rights in Korea? Victims are appealing to governmental authority. However, no one listened. Should there be more victims? I suggest everyone to pay more attention the people who have been treated unfairly.

The main problem is CCK which is abbreviation of Christian Council of Korea. CCK is representative christian association. Any association has duty to protect and serve people. However, CCK advocates coercive conversion program and its pastors. This is the reason I strongly suggest CCK should shut down itself.
