[Shincheonji, Intermediate Lesson 19] 

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

The Sound of the Last, Seventh Trumpet 

1Cor 15:51-54 (Rv 10:7, Rv 11:15)

Pastors, seminarians and saints from all around the world who wish for heaven and eternal life, it is nice to meet you. I am the head of the Nam San church of the Simon tribe of Shincheonji church of Jesus and my name is Kim Dae Jun. We sincerely thank you for attending the Shincheonji online seminar on the testimony on the revelation of the Old and New Testaments by chapter today.

The title of today's lesson is intermediate lesson 19, the sound of the last 7th trumpet. The main references are 1 Corinthians 15:51-54. Revelation 10:7 and Revelation 11:15. Among the pastors who are attending today's seminar some of you may have heard of this title and some of you may have not heard about it yet. However this content is what all believers must know so i hope you listen to this carefully. 

■ Key Point ㆍ Mystery of the sound of the last 7th trumpet : Trumpet sound that accomplishes God's victory, resurrection and eternal life

The key point of today's main reference 1 Corinthians 15:51-54 is the mystery of the sound of the last 7th trumpet. This mystery is the sound of the trumpet that accomplishes God's victory, resurrection and eternal life. To find out why the work of accomplishing God's victory, resurrection and eternal life is the mystery of the sound of the 7th and last trumpet, let us read 1 Corinthians chapter 15:51-54.

51.  Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- 52.  in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54.  When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

■ Main Reference ㆍ 1 Cor. 15:51-54 Mystery of the last trumpet sound ① the spirit of the dead will be resurrected as an imperishable spiritual body, we who are living will also be changed as well ② death is swallowed up by life and eternal life is achieved

As we read the words of 1 Corinthians 15:51-54, it is said that the sound of the last trumpet is God’s mystery and that we will all be changed at the last trumpet in a flesh in the twinkling of an eye. It is saying that the spirit of the dead will be resurrected as an imperishable spiritual body and we who are living will also be changed as well. If it is so, who will it change? When a mortal body is clothed with the immortal and imperishable spiritual body, death is swallowed up by life and eternal life is achieved.

Then in order to participate in the resurrection and eternal life which is the hope of all believers we must hear the sound of the last trumpet. In Matthew 24:31 as well it is said that Jesus will return with the angels with a loud trumpet call to gather the elect. 

Then, how can we hear the sound of the last trumpet that gathers the elect and brings about resurrection and eternal life? In order to understand the meaning of the sound of the last trumpet and how to hear it, Let’s first understand what the trumpet sound in the Bible means.

■ What is the sound of a trumpet? ㆍ Isa. 58:1 Your voice = Sound of a trumpet ∴ Sound of a trumpet = the word to reveal

You have already heard through the introductory seminars that in the Bible there are physical trumpets and also the spiritual trumpets that are likened to the physical trumpets. If you look at the words of Isaiah 58:1, it says raise your voice like a trumpet and preach the word of God. It is saying that the word preached through a person’s voice was a trumpet sound. Therefore, the meaning of the sound of the spiritual trumpet is the word that reveals the events that have appeared.

1. Sound of the last trumpet in Revelation ㆍ Rev. 8:2 Seven angels → receive seven trumpets(those who blow the trumpets : angels, trumpets: flesh) ※ Difference between the sound of 6 trumpets and 7th trumpet ㆍ Sound of 1st~6th trumpets : a sound that reveals that the betrayers were sacrificed by the destroyers ㆍ Sound of 7th trumpet : Sound to announce salvation

Then, how can believers today hear this trumpet sound? Let’s read Revelation 8:2 to find out how the trumpet appearing in Revelation is blown and what number this trumpet is.

2.  And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

As we see in Revelation 8:2, it is said that seven angels received the seven trumpets. So, those who blow the trumpets are the angels and the trumpets that the angels received are the flesh chosen by the angels to preach the word. In the book of Revelation, the trumpets are sounded seven times in total. 

Out of the 7 trumpets, 4 trumpets are sounded in Revelation 8, 2 trumpets are sounded in Revelation 9. And the 7th trumpet is sounded in Revelation 11:15. So, the 7th trumpet is the last trumpet. However, it is interesting to see that not all the 7 trumpets have the same trumpet sound. But the sound of the 1~6 trumpets and the last trumpet sound have different targets and different contents.

The difference is that the sound of the 1~6 trumpets in Revelation 8 and 9 is a sound that reveals that the betrayers were sacrificed by the destroyers. And the sound of the 7th and last trumpet in Revelation 11:15 is different from the sound that lets known that the chosen people were being destroyed by the beast. It is a sound that announces salvation through the victory of God.

Then, the 1~6 trumpets that were sounded earlier and the last 7th trumpet have different roles. Among them, what we must understand today is the sound of the last 7th trumpet that announces the news of salvation.

2. Events to be fulfilled at when the 7th trumpet sound is sound ㆍ Rev. 10:7 the mystery of God will be accomplished just as the announced

Then, let’s see what happens when the last 7th trumpet sound is sounded. If you look at the content of Revelation 10, a mighty angel with a little scroll which lays open appears and the angel swears by God. And in verse 7 it is said that when the 7th trumpet is sounded the mystery of God will be accomplished just as the announced to the servants the prophets. 

2. Events to be fulfilled at when the 7th trumpet sound is sound ㆍ Rev. 11:15 kingdom of the world → kingdom of God(change)

Then, what is the mystery of God that will be accomplished just as the announced to his servants the prophets at the sound of the 7th trumpet of salvation? In order to find out about the mystery that will be accomplished at the sound of the 7th trumpet? Let’s read Revelation 11:15.

15.  The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."

Looking at the words of Revelation 11:15, it is said that when the 7th angel sounds the trumpet, the kingdom of the world will be changed to become the kingdom of God. Up to the sound of the 6th trumpet, it was the sound that reveals that the chosen people who had betrayed were sacrificed and the beast which is Satan’s pastor had triumphed.

But on the other hand the sound of the 7th trumpet is a sound of salvation through the victory of God. Therefore, the believers in the world start to realize and become the saints in the kingdom of God from the time when the 7th trumpet is sounded. This is how the kingdom of the world becomes a kingdom of God.

2. Events to be fulfilled at when the 7th trumpet sound is sound ㆍ 1 Cor. 15:51-54 - Spirit of dead saints → resurrected with the imperishable spiritual body  - Alive saints → changed into immortal and imperishable bodies(eternal life) - the spirit and the body become one and change ∴ Resurrection and eternal life are accomplished (Rev. 10:7 prophets’ announcement)

Then, how is the mystery which was announced through the servants the prophets accomplished through the sound of the 7th trumpet? As we can see from today’s main reference, in 1 Corinthians 15:51-54, when the last trumpet sounds the spirits of the saints who have died will be resurrected with the imperishable spiritual body. And the saints who are alive will be changed into immortal and imperishable bodies that they will be able to attain eternal life.

What kind of change is this so that they become imperishable and immortal? The change is through the spirit and the body that belong to God becoming one. In other words, the spirits of the saints who are dead are changed and resurrected as they receive the body of the living and those who are living receive a spirit to become changed and reach eternal life together with the Christ.

This is the event of the first resurrection in Revelation 20 where the death is swallowed up by life and the words of the Bible are accomplished which says that those who believe in God and Jesus will live even if they die and those who live and believe will never taste death.

2. Events to be fulfilled at when the 7th trumpet sound is sound ※ Result of the sound of the 7th trumpet ① kingdom of world becomes kingdom of God ② Resurrection and eternal life are accomplished ③ Trumpet sound of salvation(mystery of salvation)

In this way, if we summarize the results of the 7th trumpet sound that we have seen so far inside the Bible, when the 7th trumpet is sounded, the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of God. And in that place, resurrection and eternal life will be accomplished. Therefore, the sound of the 7th trumpet will be the sound of the trumpet of salvation announcing the fulfillment of this promise of salvation. And that sound of the trumpet is the mystery of salvation.

2. Events to be fulfilled at when the 7th trumpet sound is sound ㆍ 계 20:4-6 Share in the first resurrection Spirit : the martyred souls of those who have been beheaded Flesh : those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark ∴ Spiritㆍflesh who share in the first resurrection = those who are changed at the sound of the last trumpet

Then who are the ones who will be changed at the sound of the 7th trumpet be resurrected and live forever? To find out who will receive this tremendous blessing, let’s read Revelation 20:4-6.

In Revelation 20:4-6, we see those who share in the first resurrection one is the martyred souls of those who have been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God and the other are those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark. It is said that they live and reign with Christ for a thousand years so the first resurrection is accomplished. 

The spirit and the flesh that share in the first resurrection which is a tremendous blessing are those who have been changed at the sound of the last trumpet as stated in 1 Corinthians chapter 15. Therefore the spirits of the dead that are changed by the last trumpet will not be the spirits of just any dead people but they are the souls of the martyrs who had been beheaded and we who are changed to have eternal life are those who have not worshiped the beast or its image and have not received its mark but instead have received the seal of God.

Therefore resurrection and eternal life will come true to those who partake in the first resurrection in spirit and in flesh. Therefore all believers must hear the sound of the last trumpet and become those who share in the first resurrection in which resurrection and eternal life are accomplished. 

So then how can we hear the sound of the last trumpet and how can we recognize the trumpet sound? It is said that the last trumpet that appears as a 7th trumpet in the book of Revelation is a trumpet of salvation and it is the mystery of salvation. 

3. Three mysteries of Revelation ① the mystery of betrayal Rev. 1:20 mystery of the seven stars and the seven golden lampstands ② the mystery of destruction Rev. 17:7 the mystery of the prostitute and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns ③ the mystery of salvation Rev. 10:7 the mystery of the sound of the 7th trumpet

Therefore in order to understand the mystery of the 7th and last trumpet of revelation we must understand the three mysteries of Revelation. Have you all heard that there are three mysteries in the book of Revelation? It may seem unfamiliar to some but the book of Revelation promises three mysteries; the mystery of betrayal, the mystery of destruction and the mystery of salvation.

Those who understand the three mysteries can perceive the mystery of salvation and participate in the work of salvation. Now to confirm this let's first read Revelation chapter 1:20 where the mystery of betrayal appears.

20.  The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Revelation chapter 1:20 records the mystery of the seven stars and the seven golden lampstands. Here because the active betrayal of the seven angels the seven stars was a trap to catch the devil just as in Jeremiah 50:24 it is a mystery of betrayal and the reason it was called a mystery is because no one, not even the messengers of the seven churches, no one, had known about this fact. Next let's read Revelation chapter 17:7 where the mystery of destruction is recorded.

17.  Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.

In revelation chapter 17:7, the mystery of the prostitute and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns is recorded. Because this beast is the one that destroyed the chosen people who betrayed which was the mystery of betrayal this beast is the mystery of destruction. Finally to find out the mystery of salvation, let's read revelation chapter 10:7. 

7.  But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets."

The mystery of salvation in revelation chapter 10:7 is the mystery of the sound of the 7th trumpet. The sound of the 7th trumpet which brings God's victory, resurrection and eternal life is a mystery of salvation and the reality of the 7th trumpet which is the person who delivers the word is the mystery of the savior. Thus far we've looked at these types of mysteries that exist. Those who understand these mysteries can go to the place of salvation where the 7th trumpet is sounded. 

3. Three mysteries of Revelation ※ One person who know the mysteries in Revelation : Promised shepherd New John ① One person who heard and saw the events of entire Revelation(Rev. 10, Rev. 22:8, 16) ② the one who saw and heard only know the reality of mysteries of Revelation and testify betrayal, destroyer and savior

Then today when the book of Revelation is fulfilled through whom can we know the realities of the three mysteries of Revelation. We are able to know them through the promised shepherd, the promised pastor, the New John, who has seen and heard the reality of the mystery that has appeared as prophesied in Revelation.

He is the one who received and ate the open scroll through Jesus in Revelation chapter 10 and is the one who saw and heard the events next to Jesus when Jesus was fulfilling the entire book of Revelation as mentioned in revelation chapter 22:8 and he is a messenger or the angel of Jesus who speaks on his behalf whom Jesus had chosen to testify the events of the entire book of revelation to the churches as stated in Revelation 22:16. 

Then shouldn't believers who attend church hear the voice of the messenger sent by Jesus and understand the mysteries of the book of Revelation? Because a messenger of Jesus has seen and heard the reality of the three mysteries revealed as prophesied in the book of Revelation he can understand and testify to the betrayers, the destroyers and the savior.

There is only one messenger of Jesus who understands these mysteries. Because he has seen, heard and understood through Jesus at the scene where Jesus fulfilled these events of the book of Revelation we must receive his testimony in order to know the reality of these mysteries.

4. the order in which three beings appear Revelation ㆍ 2 Thes. 2:1-3 after the work of betrayal and destruction → the coming of Christ(salvation)

Then in order to confirm the reality of these three beings we must first understand the order in which they appear. In what order will the three beings of Revelation appear? To confirm this let's read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3. 

1.  Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2.  not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3.  Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for (that day will not come) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

As we see in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, it is said that at the second coming of the Lord after the work of betrayal and destruction the work of salvation will take place through the coming of Christ. It means that the three beings which are the betrayers, the destroyers and the savior will appear in this order. 

4. the order in which three beings appear Revelation ① Appearance of seven messengers who prepare the way(Rev. 1-3) ② The beast with 7 heads and 10 horns swallow the temple of the tabernacle(Rev. 13) ③ Appearance of promised pastor; 7th trumpet of salvation

Then how will the appearance of the betrayers which marks the beginning of the events of Revelation take place? It begins with the appearance of the seven stars, the seven angels who prepare the way that Jesus held in his right hand. And an incident of betrayal happens when these people do not keep the covenant with Jesus but become one with Satan's pastors.

Therefore they are the betrayers. If so, how does the work of destruction come about and who are the destroyers? The destroyers who destroyed the tabernacle of the chosen people who had betrayed are the seven pastors of Satan the beast with seven heads and ten horns. In Revelation 13 the seven pastors and the saints in the tabernacle preparing the way receive the mark from the seven pastors of the beast and worship the beast becoming Satan's belonging moving away from the side of God. This is the event of destruction. 

After that how will the event of salvation be fulfilled? When the event of betrayal and destruction promised in Revelation appears the one pastor who saw the actual entities of the betrayers and the destroyers and perceived the reality of Revelation appears. This pastor fights and overcomes the pastors belonging to Satan so the promised pastor who sounds the 7th trumpet of salvation appears and the work of salvation unfolds. 

4. the order in which three beings appear Revelation ㆍ Rev. 12:7-11 Fights against the group of dragon and overcomes → God’s salvation and kingdom

To find out about this let's read Revelation 12:7-11.

7.  And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8.  But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9.  The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. 10.  Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. 11.  They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

If we look at the words of Revelation 12:7-11 we can see that there is a spiritual war between the promised pastor and the seven pastors of the beast who had destroyed heaven which is the tabernacle. The promised pastor and his brothers who saw and heard the events of betrayal and destruction which appeared according to the Bible,  they fight against and overcome the group of the dragon with the word of their testimony and from then on God's salvation, power and kingdom fulfill as promised. 

If they had lost to the group of the dragon then there is no God's kingdom or salvation. But because they were victorious the kingdom of God can be established and the work of salvation can begin. At this time the sound of the 7th trumpet will be the sound of the news of victory and the testimony to the events of salvation in which the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of God. The promised pastor, the overcomer, who can testify to this word will be the actual entity of the 7th trumpet. 

4. the order in which three beings appear Revelation ㆍ Isa. 18:3 Mountain. : Trumpet → Hear ㆍ Joel 2:1 Zion → trumpet ∴ the place where the trumpet is sounded = Mt. Zion ㆍ Rev. 14:1 Mt. Zion → the Lamb & 144,000 ㆍ Rev. 7:1-8 Sealed 12 tribes 144,000 ∴ Mt. Zion = Shincheonji 12 tribes

Then what kind of place is the kingdom of God where the 7th trumpet of salvation is sounded? To find out about this let's read Isaiah 18:3.

3.  All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it.

In Isaiah chapter 18:3 when the trumpet is sounded on the mountain all the people of the world and those who live on the earth are told to hear it. Then the place where the trumpet is sounded will be on a mountain and the mountain where the trumpet is blown is said to be Zion as in Joel chapter 2:1.

Therefore we can realize that the place where the trumpet is sounded is Mount Zion. In revelation 14:1 it is written that the Lamb and the 144,000 are standing on Mount Zion. Through this content we can see that when the events of the book of Revelation are fulfilled the 7th trumpet will be blown in the church where the overcomer who is with God and Jesus is which is figuratively represented as Mount Zion just as the expression a mountain of people or a sea of people.

Then, where is the spiritual Mount Zion where the 7th trumpet is sounded? To understand this let's read :3~4 of Revelation 7:1-8.

3.  "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." 4.  Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

Reading revelation chapter 7:3-4, we see those who are sealed who are called the servants of God. These are the 144,000 of the 12 tribes, 12 000 in each tribe. These are the sealed people as the 144,000 the firstfruits on Mount Zion in Revelation 14 harvested and gathered by Jesus and the angels at the trumpet sound. 

The reality of Mount Zion today is a 12 tribes of Shincheonji created by harvesting and sealing those born of God's seed. Also as promised in Revelation chapter 21 the holy city the new Jerusalem heaven will come here where the spirit and the flesh become one to fulfill the resurrection the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. 

ㆍ the 7th trumpet sound today : Introductory / Intermediate / advanced seminar - Sign MOU with pastors, Press conference

So what is the reality of the 7th trumpet that is sounded today? It is the introductory, intermediate and advanced curriculum of the seminar of the testimony on revelation that is testified by Shincheonji. Shincheonji’s promised pastor, the chairman and the 12 tribe leaders have testified to the entire book of Revelation. 

And the mission center instructors have testified to the introductory curriculum. And the heads of the churches are preaching the intermediate curriculum of the seminar. This is the reality that today's 7th trumpet is being sounded. Numerous pastors from around the world who have listened to this seminar have recognized this word and are forming the MOU agreements with Shincheonji and numerous media outlets around the world are gathering their attention to this and are holding press conferences. This is how the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of God as mentioned in Revelation 11:15.

■ Conclusion

Lastly, I will summarize the words that we have shared today. the 7th last trumpet sound is the sound of God's victory in which the kingdom of the world becomes a kingdom of God and through this sound resurrection and eternal life are accomplished. Therefore we must hear the sound of the 7th last trumpet. 

In order to perceive this trumpet sound the sound of the 7th trumpet which is a mystery of salvation we must know the reality of the three mysteries of Revelation and in order to know it we must receive the testimony of the promised pastor who has seen and heard the realities that have appeared. Then I believe that we must meet the promised pastor, receive the testimony, perceive the mystery of salvation and become a believer who is saved. 

Therefore all members of the 12 tribes of Shincheonji know who the entity of these three mysteries are;  the betrayer, the destroyer and savior. They all know this through the promised pastor of this New Testament. I believe that this is a testimony of salvation. So I pray that all the pastors and members of the churches will also verify this word to the end, perceive the mystery of salvation and become one in God and Jesus through the word.

In the next session a lecturer who is more skilled than I will come and testify about lesson 20 about the son who inherits God's inheritance. I hope that you will attend and have a valuable time to understand and to receive grace.

Now finally I will shout we are one and we will say this together with the meaning that we are one in God and Jesus. When I shout we are one, please raise your finger like this and let us proclaim it together. Transcending races, nationalities and religions, we are one in God and in Jesus and in the Bible. We are one.
