[Shincheonji, Intermediate Lesson 24] Testimony on the Revelation of the Old and New Testaments by Chapter, God’s Objective: The Re-Creation of Heaven and Earth Mt 6:10, Gn 1:1-2:3, Rv 21:1-7

[Shincheonji, Intermediate Lesson 24] 

Testimony on the Revelation of the Old and New Testaments by Chapter, 

God’s Objective: The Re-Creation of Heaven and Earth 

Mt 6:10, Gn 1:1-2:3, Rv 21:1-7

◼ Key point of the main reference

◈ Matt. 6:10

God’s will and objective is to fulfill God’s kingdom on this earth as it is in heaven and become one with it.

◾ Time of Moses - Create God’s dwelling place, the tabernacle(Exod. 25:8-9)

◈ Gen. 1:1-2:3

◾ 1st day : Formless, empty and dark heaven and earth / Create the light

◾ 2nd day ~ 6th day : Re-create heaven and earth

◾ 7th day : Rested ⇒ Logic of the order of recreation of heaven and earth(blueprint)

◈ Rev. 21:1-7

New heaven and new earth is created so God’s objective which is recreation of heaven and earth is completed. God and holy city new Jerusalem come down and become one and the sabbath rest and eternal life are fulfilled.

◾ Time to fulfill : time of fulfillment of Revelation

◾ Shepherd who fulfills : Shincheonji’s promised pastor, the one who overcomes, New John

1. To understand Genesis 1

1) What kind of creation?

※ Examples of contradiction when interpreting a physical creation

① Before the sun exists, can living things grow from the ground?

② How are the light created on 1st day and the light created on the 4th day different?

: Describing the spiritual creation of God’s kingdom in parables using the creation of the natural world

2) Why was the creation of the kingdom of heaven spoken in parables?

: To hide the secret of heaven from the evil ones which is about a creation of God’s kingdom(Matt. 13:10-13)

2. Order and meaning of the re-creation of heaven and earth in Gen. 1

※ The situation in the lead up to the recreation

◾ Formless, empty, heaven and earth and darkness was over them

: The corrupted former world

: God’s kingdom and people were destroyed due to the betrayal (Jer. 4:23-28)

◼ Over the waters : World(Dan. 7:3, 17)

1) Creation of 1st day(Gen. 1:2-5) : Light

◾ Light(The word in the beginning, the newly chosen pastor) : Separate light and darkness, day and night (John 1:1-5, 14, 1 John 1:1-3)

◾ Light(pastor) in every era → Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, Overcomer New John

2) Creation of the 2nd day(Gen. 1:6-8) : New heaven

◾ Expanse(穹蒼) : New heaven, new tabernacle(※ Rev. 13:6)

→ Create new tabernacle(kingdom) in the world(many waters)

→ Ark at the time of Noah, tabernacle at the time of Moses

    Organization of Jesus and 12 disciples at the first coming

    The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony at the time of second coming(Rev. 15:5)

◾ The waters above(truth) and the waters below(untruth) are judged and separated (John 3:31-34)

3) Creation of the 3rd day(Gen. 1:9-13): New earth

◾ The land that has appeared(new earth) (Rev. 21:1) → Create new people of new kingdom(new saints)

◾ Gathered waters(sea) : False truth of the world

◾ Vegetation, plants bearing seed, trees bearing fruit with seed = Saints created with the word of God(People of new heaven and new earth)

4) Creation of 4th day(Gen. 1:14-19) : the sun, moon and stars

◾ Sun, moon, stars : Figurative God’s chosen people(Gen. 37:9-11)

  Sun(great lights) = shepherd

  Moon(lesser light) = evangelist

◾ Let there be seasons(四時), days(日字) and years(年限) → The day counted

◾ Govern the day and night 

: Through the pastor, evangelists, and saints of the new tabernacle, they govern over together the people and the gentiles

: Allowing them to govern over the darkness is God gave these people the world

5) Creation of the 5th day(Gen. 1:20-23) : Bird, Fish

◾ Water(water of life) = word of God

◾ Sea creatures(fish) = saints who are evangelized with the word of God

◾ Bird = spirits belonging to God

: In God’s tabernacle, the holy spirit come like a bird and work together(harvest)

◾ Be fruitful, increase in numbers and fill the water in the seas = Meaning to let the world of truth flow and spread across all corners of the earth and to evangelize and make God’s kingdom to multiply

6) Creation of the 6th day(Gen. 1:24-31) : Four living creatures, Men

◾ Create wild animals, livestock, creatures moving along the ground, man

◾ Create man in God’s image and likeness(Zech. 12:1)

◾ Man in the lead up to recreation → Gen. 1:2 State of being formless, empty and in darkness

◾ What will be needed to born again?

John 3:5 water and spirit

1 Peter 1:23 seed of God(Word)

◾ said to man “Be fruitful, increase in number, fill the earth, subdue and rule over”

∴ The one who is born again will be the lord of all creation and become God’s children who can receive the inheritance.

⇒ This is the logic of the order of creation from the 1st to the 6th day.

: From the time of Adam until the time of Revelation, work of creation and recreation of heavens and earth according to Genesis 1 repeats in every era.

◾ In each era, God’s creation becomes corrupt. God will tear it down and create again. 

◾ In every era, God will tear down the corrupted world and create to enter the rest.

3. When and how recreation of heaven and earth happen?

1) When is it fulfilled?

: At the time of fulfillment of Revelation (Isa. 65:17, Rev. 21:1)

  Time of Lord’s second coming, Time of end of age time of harvest (Matt. 13:39)

2) How is it fulfilled?

◾ The first heaven and first hearth passed away(former heaven)

   Betrayed tabernacle of the seven golden lampstand and its saints(Rev. 1:20)

◾ Rev. 2-3 Betrayal(Hos. 6:7)

   Teachings of the Nicolaitans, sacrifice to idols, adultery → Being the tabernacle  and saints that are formless, empty, and in darkness

◾ Chosen and anointed Jesus’ pastor(New John) in Rev. 1 send the letters of repentance. 

◾ The sun, moon and stars, heaven and earth, which is judged and came to an end in Rev. 6(Matt. 8:12 subjects of the kingdom)

   Heaven and earth, the sun, moon, and stars : formless, empty, darkness

◾ Rev. 8-9 ⅓ spirits are killed at a time belonging to gentile destroyers

◾ Rev. 17:1, 3, 15 the prostitute(Beast with 7 heads and 10 horns) ⇒ many waters flooded, over the waters(tabernacle in Rev. 13)

◾ The physical fulfillment of this event happened at the tabernacle temple that was established in 1966 in the Republic of Korea in the province Gyeonggi-do, Gwacheon city under the mountains of Cheonggye

◾ Recreated new heaven and new earth(New heaven) : Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, saints of harvested and sealed 12 tribes

(1) Create the light on the 1st day : Promised shepherd, overcomer, New John(Rev. 22:8, 16)

(2) Create new heaven and new earth from the 2nd till 6th day

◾ Overcomers : small number of remnant seeds(seed of recreation) (Rev. 12:11, Rev. 6:6, Rev. 15:2)

◾ Create Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony(Rev. 15:5) with overcomers

◾ Harvested 12 tribes families(plants, sun moon stars, living creature, man) (Rev. 7, Rev. 14)

※ Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony

◾ God’s kingdom that is fulfilled on this earth as it is in heaven

◾ Recreated God’s new kingdom and new people according to the logic of the order in Gen. 1

◾ Names of people, location, church, organization are all created according to the new covenant Revelation

4. The rest of the 7th day(Gen. 2:1-3, Rev. 21:2-7)

 

◾ The time for God to rest eternally

: After God judges the corrupted world of the former heaven(Rev. 6), God creates the world of a new haven, Shincheonji(Rev. 7) and God comes down to as written in Rev. 21

◾ God and us live in the recreated kingdom of heaven. God will enter the rest and we will receive the promised blessing of eternal life(Rev. 21:1-4).

◾ Matt. 6:10 : New Jerusalem(spiritual haven) ⇒ New heaven new earth(Physical heaven), Shincheonji / people(righteous) : Recreated man 

 ◾ In order to fulfill this objective(recreation of heaven and earth) God and Jesus have been working tirelessly (John 5:17)

▎ Conclusion

1. After the sin of Adam as God’s rest was broken God repeatedly does the work of creation according to the order of Genesis 1 until all creation is restored to his original image

2. The first day was formless and empty and in darkness and from the 2nd to 6th day God created the new heaven and new earth.

3. The recreation of heaven and earth of Genesis 1 becomes complete through the creation of new heaven and new earth in Rev. 21.

4. The first heaven and first earth that comes to an end are the subjects of the kingdom the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands that betrayed. God and the holy city new Jerusalem come down to new heaven and new earth, Shincheonji 12 tribes and enter into the rest and give the promised blessing of eternal life(Matt. 6:10)

5. Let’s not resemble the corrupted previous generations but let us participate in the work of recreation of heaven and earth become the new creation who is born again with God’s seed and spirit and make every effort into entering the rest(Heb. 4)

[Shincheonji, Intermediate Lesson 23] 

Testimony on the Revelation of the Old and New Testaments by Chapter, 

Elementary Teachings and the Place of Maturity 

Heb 6 (Rv 5, Rv 10)

◼ Heb. 5:12-14

12.  In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13.  Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14.  But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

ㆍ Elementary teaching = Like milk ⇒ an infant

ㆍ Teaching of righteousness = Solid food ⇒ Mature adults

◾Answer to elementary teachings and mature teachings at the time of second coming

ㆍ Elementary teachings : Adam to the time of Revelation’s fulfillment

ㆍ Mature teachings of perfection : a reality to the fulfillment of the prophecies of Revelation

◾The reason why the reality of Revelation become the way of perfection?

<History of the Bible>

① World of Adam

② World of Noah

③ World of Moses

④ World of Jesus’ first coming

⑤ World of Jesus’ second coming

※ To know Revelation = To keep God’s promise and commands

①~④ : Promise, Commands

◾ God’s will and purpose promised in Revelation

ㆍ 1 Kings 11 betrayal of Solomon (Hos. 6:7)

1. Time of Old Testament

ㆍ Jer. 31:22 promise to create new thing

① To sow two kinds of seeds (Jer. 31:27)

② To establish the new covenant(Jer. 31:31)

2. Time of First Coming

ㆍ Matt. 13:24-30, 37-39 two types of seeds sown

ㆍ Lk. 22:14-20 establish a new covenant to fulfill(=Revelation)

3. Time of second coming

ㆍ Come to harvest those born of God’s seed(Rev. 14)

ㆍ To complete creation of a new thing which is to create new heaven and new earth(Rev. 21)

※ God’s purpose

① To create new kingdom new people(new heaven new earth) 12 tribes

② Capture and imprison the dragon(devil)

③ God rules

◼ Heb. 5:12-14

13.  Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14.  But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

※ The place of maturity at the second coming

God, heaven ⇒ new kingdom and new people, the 12 tribes

ㆍ Rev. 22:18-19 add to or subtract from Revelation ⇒ heaven X, plague

◾ Time to understand the meaning of Revelation : time for prophecies of Revelation fulfilled

① Before the prophecies fulfill : only understand in part ⇒ elementary teachings

② when the fulfilled reality of prophecy appear 

◼ Whom can we learn about the perfect mature teaching?

① Through the promised shepherd whom God has chosen

② Amos. 3:7 Secret of God(Secrets to heaven) → Promised shepherd

③ Promised shepherd : Testify to what was seen and heard

ㆍ Rev. 1:1 Route in which Revelation is conveyed

Rev. 5(God) → Rev. 6, 8(Jesus) → Rev. 10(Angel) → Rev. 10(New John) → 12 tribes 144,000 and a great multitude in white

◼ Heb. 5:12-14

13.  Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14.  But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

◼ Promised shepherd who testifies the mature teaching(Revelation)

ㆍ Rev. 22:8 Saw and heard the events of entire Revelation

ㆍ Rev. 22:16 Jesus’ messenger who testifies the events of entire Revelation to the churches

◼ Heb. 6:1-3

1.  Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2.  instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3.  And God permitting, we will do so.

◼ Where is the place of perfection at the time of second coming?

① A place created according to Revelation

② A place testifying to the reality of the fulfillment of Revelation

◼ Difference between elementary teaching and mature teaching of perfection

Ex) The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil appeared in Revelation

ㆍ Rev. 22:1-2 Tree of life where the holy city new Jerusalem comes down upon

◼ About the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

John 15:1-5 God and 12 disciples : the tree of life

Dan. 4:20-22 Babylon king : the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

◼ The tree of life at the second coming

: Overcomer and Shincheonji 12 tribes (Rev. 2-3, Rev. 7, Rev. 22)

ㆍ Fruit of 12 branches of the tree of life = Evangelized saints of 12 tribes of Shincheonji

ㆍ Leaves of the tree of life = Evangelists

◼ The tree of the knowledge of good and evil at the 

: The prostitute of Babylon and its organization(Rev. 17-18, Deut. 32:32-33)

ㆍ Fruit of the tree of good and evil : wine of adulteries (False doctrines, Commentaries)

◼ Elementary teaching and the mature teaching at the time of second coming

① Elementary teaching : Do not know the meaning of two kinds of trees nor its realities(Traditional church)

② The mature teaching : Do know the meaning of two kinds of trees and its realities(Shincheonji Church of Jesus)

◼ Heb. 6:4-8

4.  It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5.  who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6.  if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, becauseto their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7.  Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8.  But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

① Coming age(來世) : When Revelation is fulfilled

② The powers of the coming age : To fulfill Revelation

① Those who receive God’s blessing = Lk 8:15 good soil

② Those who receive plague from God = 2 Pet. 2:20-22, Matt. 7:6 Like dogs and pigs

▎ Conclusion

1. Those who are in elementary teachings must find the promised shepherd of the New Testament and learn the word of Revelation since they do not know it yet. 

2. The place of perfection at the second coming of Christ is a place created according to the promises of Revelation. It is a place where they are harvested and sealed in God’s new kingdom and new people, Shincheonji 12 tribes. 

Is this place God and heaven comes down to to dwell upon  as such God’s will and purpose fulfills? Thus, let’s unite as one with Shincheonji, the place of perfection carry out a life of faith according to the promises and become a perfect believer. 

The title for the next lesson is intermediate lesson 24; God’s purpose, the creation, the recreation of heaven and earth. Since that instructor teaches way better than myself, please look forward to that lecture. 

Now with the meaning of God and Jesus being one with us, let’s shout we are one. We transcend beyond race, nation, and religion and have united as one  under God and Jesus. We are one.

[Shincheonji Compare Bible Doctrine] Who are the kings of the earth in Revelation 1?

[Shincheonji Compare Bible Doctrine]

Who are the kings of the earth in Revelation 1?

"It means the king of the earth, a royal priesthood, the head of the shepherds'

[Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony]

The history and teachings of the Bible can be interpreted literally. However, it is not correct to interpret the prophecies of the Bible literally. Nevertheless, the reason that the interpretation is made like this is because of ignorance of not knowing the meaning of the prophets.

The book of Revelation is a prophetic book written about 2,000 years ago by the Apostle John, a disciple of Jesus, seeing the future in a vision. When God's appointed time comes, God fulfills the prophecy and shows its fulfilled reality to one shepherd, so we can only know by receiving testimony through the shepherd who has seen and heard. It is arrogant to interpret what God has sealed as something like this or that.

At the time of Jesus' first coming, he spoke of the secret of heaven in parables, but today is not a parable. But today is a time to speak plainly rather than parable. Therefore, the  reality which is appeared as the book of Revelation is fulfilled is clearly testified through the promised shepherd who is an overcomer The kings of the earth in Revelation 1:5 are not a physical king like the president of the world, but a royal priesthood which is a shepherd.

Jesus is said to be LORD OF LORDS and KING OF KINGS, so the head of the kings of the earth is Jesus. So, that is why the Apostle Peter said that Jesus was the head of the shepherds, the Chief Shepherd. Therefore, it means that he is not the head of the kings of the world, such as the president, but the head of a royal priesthood, that is, the shepherds (1 Peter 2:9, 1 Pet 5:4).

There are two types of spiritual things in the Bible. There is God and Satan in the spirit world. For this reason, even in the physical world, the kings belonging to God and the kings belonging to Satan are divided.

First, the king belonging to God, that is, the shepherds are those who have been freed from sin by the blood of Jesus. They are the kingdom and priests that were purchased with its  blood. These are the true ones who were called and taken out of many peoples, nations, and languages and kings. These are the sealed spiritual new Israel 144,000, the 12 tribes who are with the Lamb of Mount Zion.

On the other hand, there are the kings of the earth who have committed adultery with the great prostitute. These are kings who have received Satan's seed from the great prostitute of Babylon, the nation of demons, and have committed spiritual sexual immorality. These are the kings of the earth who hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains from the wrath of God, and they are the kings of Satan who will be judged and end because they have deceived the nations with the wine of the wrath of adulteries. The reality is corrupted pastors of existing denominations today.

In conclusion, the kings of the earth are the 144,000 of the 12 tribes, who are born again with the seeds of God’s word and are harvested and sealed according to the promise in Revelation 7 after the shepherds of the era of spiritual Israel in Revelation 6 are judged and ended. These are the reality of the kings of the earth belonging to God.

God's purpose was to create the kingdom of God and priests through the chosen shepherd in each era during the 6,000-year history. Its purpose is achieved by creating a sealed kingdom and priests with the word of revelation by the promised shepherd appeared in the book of Revelation after 6,000 years have passed. There are a great multitude in white , washed with the blood of Jesus. This is the happiest event in history since the beginning of time and the most blessed event. Now, the kings of spiritual Israel, the era of the shepherds who sowed the seed of weeds and prophesied lies, the era of the traditional church has come to an end, and a new era of new heaven and new earth has begun.

"The kings of the earth in Revelation 1 are physical kings such as Roman emperors and presidents.”

[Presbyterian denomination]

Presbyterian Pastor A

Jesus is the head of the kings of the earth. So, the head of our President Lee Myung-bak is Jesus. The head of Obama is Jesus. Any ruler like Kim Jong-il? Jesus is also the head of Kim Jong-il

Presbyterian Pastor B

What are the kings of the earth? Who were the kings of the earth at that time? I'm talking about the Roman emperor. But Jesus is said to be the head of the kings of the earth.

Presbyterian Pastor C

You need three keys to open the Book of Revelation. The first key should be interpreted literally, as shown here.

Presbyterian Pastor D

Revelation 1:5 says that Jesus Christ is the head of the kings of the earth. Of what things is Jesus become the head on earth? It is the head of President Reagan, the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Japan, and the President in Korea. So, that's why President Reagan also worshiped the Lord. Although he is the president who rule around the world, his head is also Jesus. The head of the president or king is also Jesus Christ.
