Shincheonji, What is the tabernacle of the Testimony in Revelation chapter 15?
[The temple of God created on this earth, where the whole world should come and worship]

The book of Revelation foretells what will be fulfilled in the last times. So, we can notice that the Temple of the Testimony in Revelation chapter 15 is the Temple of God, which appears in the last times.
If you look at the Chinese characters of the temple, '聖' means a holy castle and '殿' means a large house. So, this refers to the holy house where the holy God stays.
In order to realize the temple of testimony, let's first look at the temple of God built during the time of Moses.
According to Exodus Chapter 25, God showed Moses what was in heaven and made him make a tent on this earth. This tent was like a temple as a place for God to live. In Hebrew Chapter 9, it was said that the tent of Moses was divided into two.
The First Room was called the sanctuary and the Second Room was called the Most Holy Place.
And, God said he was in the Second Room, the Most Holy Place where the ark of the Testimony is. So, in order to meet God, they had to go to the Second Room.
Paul the Apostle speaks for the Holy Spirit about what the Holy Spirit saw regarding these two tent. In the Letter of Hebrews, as long as the first tabernacle was still standing, the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed(Heb. 9:8).
Also, it is an illustration for the present time, it is applied until the time of the new order(Heb. 9:9-10). So, by the last time everything is in the new order, we will learn all the secrets about this tent.
Let's look through the Book of Revelation which is fulfilled at the last times how the true image of Moses' tent hidden by a metaphor came to be fulfilled in today which metaphors is plainly testified.
Just as Moses' tent is divided into the first room, the sanctuary, and the second room, the Most Holy Place, the tent appeared in the Book of Revelation is also presented by two rooms. The true image of this tent is the tent of heaven in Revelation chapter 13 and the tent of testimony in Revelation chapter 15. As seen in 2Thessalonians 2:1-3, the events that will occur when the Book of Revelation is fulfilled as the order of betrayal, destruction and salvation. So, the first room and second room of the Book of Revelation also appear as the order of betrayal, destruction and salvation.
In order to fulfill the Word of Revelation, God first created the tent of the seven golden lampstands in Rev. 1:20. And He appointed Seven angels of the seven churches for Him to work. But, as we can see from Revelation chapter 2 and 3, these seven angels of the churches broke the covenant with God and betrayed Him. For the seven golden lampstands which betrayed the covenant, it was called the tent of heaven in Revelation chapter 13. And, this tent of heaven is destroyed by the beast with seven heads and ten horns. At that time, in order to recreate the tent of God, the chosen shepherd is the child who will rule the nations with the iron scepter that appears in Revelation 12. The one who received the iron scepter which can rule the nations in Revelation 2:26 is the person who overcome.
In Revelation 12:9-11, brothers who is with the one who overcomes won with the blood of the lamb and the word of testimony. As a result, it is said that 'Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ'. The kingdom of God built at this time is the tabernacle of the Testimony which is built through those who who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name mentioned in Revelation chapter 15. In Rev. 20:4, people who had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands comes to life and reigns with Christ a thousand years.
In addition, in Revelation chapter 21, in a new heaven and a new earth where God's people gather, there is no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
Why was the temple called the tabernacle of the testimony? This tabernacle of the testimony is the place where people saw and heard all events of betrayer and destruction happened in the tent of heaven in Revelation chapter 13 gathered. And, it is called the tabernacle of the testimony because it is the place to testify all the events of the tent as predicted in the Book of Revelation.
The name of the tabernacle of the testimony is the name of God's temple which will appear in the last time as the prophecy is made through John the Apostle 2,000 years ago. This is a name given by God. The important fact is that in Revelation 15:4, the tabernacle of the temple is the place where the nations will gather. So, all believers who want to be people of heaven should come to the tabernacle of the testimony.

(Through the plaques of seven angels in Revelation) it means that 'Let's set the fire and get rid of it.'. By doing so, where do we enter? We can enter the temple. So, now it is a church with testimony of Jesus Christ. The church with testimony of Jesus Christ became the temple of God.
Then, what does it say in order to become a temple? Seven plaques of seven angels must be done. It means seven plaques must be completed to enter the temple.
This means that we must be dead completely to enter. As it is said to be 'a temple that enter when you die.', that's what the temple means
