[Shincheonji, Intermediate Lesson 21] 

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

The Real Truth and Persecution  

Jn 8 (Mt 10, Mt 25, Jn 16)

Pastors, theology students and believers from all over the world who hope in heaven, greetings. My name is Kang Tae Woon, the head instructor of mansu church of Matthew tribe of Shincheonji church of Jesus. I sincerely thank you for attending Shincheonji online seminar of the testimony on the revelation of the Old and New Testaments by chapter. God's words that we'll be looking at today is an intermediate lesson number 21 persecution and the kingdom of victory Shincheonji.

Main reference John 8 and we'll also look at Matthew 10, Matthew 25, John 16, Revelation 7, Revelation 14 and 21. Regarding today's topic of persecution and the kingdom of victory, Shincheonji, there may be pastors who know this from reading the Bible often and pastors who may not be too familiar with it. But I hope that we can give our ears to today's lecture and make this a time of clearly perceiving God's will.

1. Persecution 1) The event of persecution in the Bible ① Appearance of evil spirit that betrayed ② Evil spirit deceives Adam ③ God left(Gen. 6) ④ The devil rule over the global village ⑤ Work to recover God’s global village  - Sent His messenger in every era to testify God’s will and objectives - God’s messengers are persecuted and killed by pastors of the global village ∴ persecutors : belonging to the devil    the persecuted : belonging to God(Matt. 5:9-12)

First let's learn about persecution, examining the work of persecution shown in the Bible we can see that there are two kinds of spirits at work in heaven and on earth which is God the holy spirit and the devil an evil spirit that betrayed. The devil betrayed God in his greed to become god himself and this is the appearance of the evil spirit who betrayed.

The evil spirit who appeared in this way deceived Adam and ultimately Adam became the devil’s. Due to Adam's betrayal God left this world as we can see in Genesis 6. As a result, the devil began to rule over the world. However, God began the work or restoration to take back this world. In every era God sent his messengers to testify about God's will and his objectives. But every time the devil opposed God to block God from taking back the world. This is why the two kinds of spirits fought in every era and God's messengers were persecuted and killed by the pastors of the world. 

Ever since the sin of Adam the world became a world of the devil's reign. It is the devil's world. Therefore, people did not listen to God's words, instead they persecuted God's messengers in every era. This is displayed as the work of persecution in the Bible. Through this, we can clearly distinguish those who belong to the devil and those who belong to God which are the persecutors and the persecuted respectively. 

Looking at Matthew 5:9-12, Jesus says that the blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God. Also the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are persecuted for righteousness. For in the same way all the prophets were persecuted. Those who belong to the devil persecute like the devil and through their actions we can clearly distinguish those who belong to God and those who belong to the devil. Like this those who belong to God were persecuted all throughout the history of the Bible. 

1. Persecution 2) Time of first coming ㆍ John 8:45 : truth, law of freedom, promise eternal life(John 8;51) ㆍ John 8:44 : lie, law of Moses, persecute eternal life ∴ shepherds of Jerusalem at the first coming persecuted and killed Jesus and his disciples

One of the major examples is at the first coming. To understand the work of persecution at the first coming, let's read John 8:44-47 in one voice. 

44.  You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45.  Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46.  Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47.  He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

Looking at John chapter 8:45 we can see how Jesus testified to the words of truth at the first coming which is the law that gives freedom and as soon in John 8:51 he promised God's will of eternal life. In contrast, the shepherds of Jerusalem spoke lies as evidence in John chapter 8:44 and insisted on the laws of Moses. Instead of believing in eternal life they persecuted Jesus who testified about life forevermore. 

Jesus said to the shepherds of Jerusalem that the devil is their father and they speak lies like their father the devil does. The shepherds of Jerusalem at the time who were born of the devil’s seed all spoke lies. In the midst of all this Jesus who is born of God's seed testified to the truth. But the shepherds of Jerusalem at the time of first coming did not believe in the words of truth. 

Then why didn't they believe in the words of truth? The reason is because the shepherds of Jerusalem did not belong to God. But they belong to the devil as we can see in John 8:47. Ultimately the shepherds of Jerusalem persecuted and killed Jesus and his disciples at the first coming which clearly proves that the shepherds of Jerusalem at the time of first coming belonged to the devil.

1. Persecution 3) Current state of believers at the second coming ㆍ Matt. 13:39 time of harvest = end of age ㆍ Luke 18:8 ㆍ Rev. 22:18-19 Adding to and subtracting from Revelation ㆍ Rev. 18:3, 23 all nations have fallen from the wine of adultery, marry the devil

However the work of persecution did not end at the first coming it continued on to today Jesus's second coming. What is the current state of believers at the time of the second coming? As seen in Matthew 13:39, Jesus said that at the time of harvest the time of harvest is the end of the age. Therefore today is the time of Jesus's second coming. The world that comes to an end at the time of Jesus’ second coming is the world of believers where God's seed of the word was sown by Jesus. 

The reason why the world of the believer comes to an end is because the current state of the world of believers is as it is shown in Luke chapter 18:8. Through Luke 18:8 Jesus foretold the world of believers. let's read it. 

8.  I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Jesus says that ‘When the son of man comes will he find faith on the earth’. The time when the son of man comes is at the second coming Jesus prophesied the state of the world of believers at the time of the second coming in Luke 18:8 that there aren't many with faith. They are corrupted and also rebellious. The reason why there's no one with faith is because everyone is adding to and subtracting from Revelation as we can see in Revelation 22:18-19. But why do the traditional churches add to and subtract from Revelation? The answer is found in Revelation chapter 5. 

Looking at Revelation chapter 5 there is a scroll sealed with seven seals in the right hand of God. This book is the book of Revelation. And because it is sealed there is no one who can open or look inside of this book. Like this there is no one who understands revelation and the reality is that everyone is adding to and subtracting from it. As a result ultimately just like the words of Revelation 18:3 and :23 all nations have fallen from the wine of adultery that is false doctrine or commentaries and they marry the devil. 

This is the reality of the world of the believers at the time of the second coming as prophesied in the New Testament. Just like these words of prophecies today's world of churches of tradition have added to and subtracted from Revelation and married the spirit of the devil. Also it is prophesied in the New Testament scriptures, a persecution of those who are married to the spirit of the devil. 

1. Persecution 4) The event of persecution  at the second coming prophesied in the New Testament ㆍ Matt. 10 God’s worker receiving persecution ㆍ Matt. 25 God’s worker : confined in prison ㆍ John 16:1-4 God’s people : sacrificed ㆍ Luke 17:25 him(promised pastor) → suffer many things, rejected by this generation ∴ Persecutor today : pastors and church members of traditional church (Rev.  6) = Devil’s sons who are not harvested ∴ The persecuted today : New kingdom new people 12 tribes(Rev. 7) = God’s sons who are harvested(Rev. 14)

Then moving on let's find out about persecution of the second coming prophesied in the New Testament. Let's read Matthew 10:17-18. 

17.  "Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues. 18.  On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

Jesus prophesied in Matthew 10 that God's appointed workers will receive persecution. Those who belong to the devil will hand over God's appointed workers to the local councils, flock them in the synagogues making known that God's appointed workers will be brought before the governors and kings meaning the people of authority in the world and be persecuted.

This says the persecution that the disciples at the time received and furthermore a prophecy of the persecution that God's appointed workers will receive at the

time of second coming and according to this prophecy today Shincheonji underwent search and seizure and confinement. This is the persecution that is prophesied in the new testament of the second coming. 

And as seen in Matthew chapter 25 at the time of the second coming they are sheep-like believers. They are the ones who look after their brothers when they are confined in prison and goat-like believers are those who do not look after their brothers when they are locked up in prison. Through this we can understand that at the second coming there are God's appointed workers who will get confined in prison and just like these words of prophecies Shincheonji’s appointed workers were confined in a prison which is another example of persecution taking place at the second coming as prophesied in the New Testament.

Jesus prophesied in John 16:1-4 that God's people will be sacrificed. Those who become one with the world will persecute God's people. To the point of even killing them and thinking that they're offering service to God. This prophecy was also fulfilled today. And 4 church members of Shincheonji were killed from persecution. This is a very tragic event and it is the fulfillment of the prophecies of John 16 given by Jesus. 

So we believe that God and Jesus will repay the persecutors according to what they have done. Also looking at Luke 17:25, Jesus prophesied that the promised shepherd will suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. Jesus who comes back in spirit prophesied about a certain individual saying he or the one that is the promised pastor of the New Testament.

This promised pastor will suffer many things and he will be rejected by the

churches of tradition have these words ever come to pass in any other era. Now this prophecy fulfills in today's time. Going to Revelation chapter 11 we can see that the promised shepherd of the New Testament who is the witness appointed by Jesus is figuratively killed by the beast from the abyss. As the reality of all these prophecies, the promised shepherd of Shincheonji has suffered many things and continues to suffer to this day although the promised shepherd of Shincheonji’s teaching from the Bible and the will of God and Jesus which is eternal life.

The pastors of the churches of tradition did not believe they call heresy and persecute. Like this, at the time of the second coming the pastors of traditional churches and the church members are becoming one with the people of the world and persecuting the promised shepherd and the 12 tribes of Shincheonji. 

This is the work of persecution of the second coming prophesied in the New Testament scriptures including inside of Matthew 10:35 and John 16 and Luke 17. Through this we can know the reality of those who persecute and those who

receive persecution the reality of those who persecute today are the churches of tradition and their church members of Revelation chapter 6. They are misinterpreting God's words of promise and they antagonize everyone who does not belong to them by oppressing and persecuting.

They are the devil’s sons who are not harvested and because they are born of the devil's seed they are not harvested and together with the devil they persecute. Then who is the reality of those who receive persecution today? Yes you're right. The reality is Revelation 7 the new kingdom and new people the 12 tribes. They are God's sons born of God's seed according to the promise of Revelation 14 they are harvested and those who are harvested and those who are not are clearly separated as seen in Matthew 13:24-30 and :37-39 at the time of harvest which is the end of the age. 

The sons of the devil continue to persecute until they're burned in fire ultimately God's sons were harvested overcome every kind of persecution and

receive the blessing of heaven and eternal life. Like this, the new kingdom and new people that is the 12 tribes of Shincheonji is victorious. 

2. Victorious kingdom Shincheonji ㆍ Rev. 13 1st war : betrayal of the chosen people → victory of devil’s belonging ㆍ Rev. 12 2nd war → victory of God’s belonging ㆍ Rev. 15, 16 Overcomers of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony : 7 bowls → judge betrayal, destroyer ㆍ Rev. 18 Judge Babylon ㆍ Rev. 19 Wedding banquet of the Lamb ㆍ Rev. 20 Capture the dragon, first resurrection ㆍ 계 21:1-6 New heaven and new earth(Shincheonji) overcame with truth → God, holy city new Jerusalem came down(everything is accomplished) ㆍ Rev. 7:1-8 12 tribes sealing 144,000 ㆍ Rev. 7:9-14 (After sealing 144,000) Out of a great tribulation → great multitude in white came out ※ Online Seminar : Testify prophecy and its fulfillment of Revelation ※ 100 000 graduation  ∴ Victorious kingdom created according to the Bible overcoming persecution : Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony 12 tribes

Let's find out the process it took to be victorious. Let's look at now the kingdom

of victorious Shincheonji. The fact that they are victorious means that they fought a war and were victorious. Looking at Revelation 13, we can see the first war at this time due to the betrayal of the chosen people, those who belong to the devil, and the second war takes place in Revelation chapter 12.

To find out the result of the second war Let's read Revelation chapter 12:9-11. 

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.

Revelation chapter 12 is regarding the second war. The promised shepherd, him who overcomes and his brothers fought and overcame with the blood of the Lamb and the word of the testimony against the group of the dragon. This is a spiritual war and those who belong to God are victorious. Although the chosen people were defeated in the first war, in the second war those who belong to God, that is him who overcomes and his brothers are victorious because they fought with their life on the line and overcame with truth. 

As a result of fighting and overcoming the group of the dragon now comes God's kingdom and salvation. Before this God's kingdom and salvation did not exist. But from the moment they fight and overcame the group of the dragon this point on now has come God's kingdom and salvation. At this time God's kingdom that is created as a result of overcoming is Shincheonji church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.

It has been created according to the promise of Revelation 15. Like this, Shincheonji is equipped with the words of truth. We have overcome persecution and wars. And God established according to the new covenant Revelation. And God carries out the work of salvation and judgment through those who are victorious. Going to Revelation 15 and 16, those who overcome in Revelation 12 that is those who are victorious at Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony becomes 7 bowls who judge the betrayers and the destroyers. 

God uses those who fight and overcome the group of the dragon as his bowls of wrath and pours out his wrath upon the betrayers and the destroyers and judges them. Therefore ultimately the kingdom of demons Babylon gets judged and comes to an end as seen in Revelation 18. After the judgment of Babylon the wedding banquet of the Lamb of Revelation 19 takes place.

God's oxen and fattened cattle that is the betrayers and the destroyers are

butchered and judged and people were invited and together with God and Jesus and the angels and the souls of the martyrs came and began the wedding banquet of the Lamb. And in revelation 20, lastly, the dragon is captured and locked up in the abyss and the first resurrection takes place. 

For those that participate in the first resurrection at this time those who participate in the first resurrection are the spirit and flesh of those who participate in the wedding banquet of Revelation 19 that is the souls of the martyrs and those who did not receive the mark of the beast and survived. This spirit and flesh become one and participate in the first resurrection and reign as kings for 1,000 years.

Because the soldiers of the dragon are all captured in Revelation 19 there's no army to help the dragon. So the dragon comes to an end and the world of God's reign and peace is established. Ever since the sin of Adam for the past long 6,000 years the devil reigned. Therefore in this world there's no peace but only persecution and wars. However the devil ends and the kingdom of heaven Shincheonji stands as promised in the Bible. And God comes to Shincheonji as promised in Revelation 21:1-6. Let's read Revelation 21:1-6. 

1.  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2.  I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3.  And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4.  He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." 5.  He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." 6.  He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.

The previous world which has become corrupted that is first of the first earth comes to an end and new heaven and new earth is created. New heaven and new earth, Shincheonji is the kingdom of victory which overcame with truth. The fact that Shincheonji has been created through the promised shepherd, him who overcomes according to the promised process in Revelation, serves as a clear proof that they have overcome with the words of truth.

Also, God and the holy city new Jerusalem, the kingdom of heaven in the spiritual world, descend upon new heaven and new earth. As a result there is no more death or mourning or crying or pain in new heaven and new earth Shincheonji meaning that everything is accomplished according to what God and Jesus have promised. This is God's will and his objective and the hope of all believers. 

Then what must believers do in order to fulfill their hope? Yes. That is right. They must come to the kingdom of truth Shincheonji where the word of truth is found. Currently Shincheonji has sealed the 144 000 of the 12 tribes just like the words of Revelation 7:1-8. Also like it says in Revelation 7:9-14 after the sealing of the

144 000 a great multitude in white is coming out of a great tribulation. For this work Shincheonji is testifying to the prophecy and fulfillment of Revelation in 5w's and 1h through Shincheonji online seminar. And this testimony is given to the entire world. The pastors worldwide who have heard this testimony acknowledge that this is true and they are pleasantly surprised and they are thankful and they welcome it.

Numerous churches and denominations have signed MOU's with Shincheonji and there are so many more who desire to sign it. Many people are streaming into Shincheonji to learn the truth. There was a 100,000 graduation in 2019 and we are preparing for another 100 000 graduation at the end of this year. How could this be men's work? It is only possible because God and Jesus are at Shincheonji. 

What we can know through this is that the kingdom of victory that has been created according to the Bible after overcoming persecution is Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony of the 12 tribes. The 12 tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus were persecuted as it was prophesied in Matthew 10 and Matthew 25 and John chapter 16. However, those who have the best truth overcame and Shincheonji is testifying to the whole world the news of victory according to the Bible. 

Therefore if one is a true believer then one must not judge with men's authority or size but choose the place that has the words of truth and live a true

faith walk. Let's be those who possess faith that God and Jesus acknowledge

and receive the blessing of heaven and eternal life.  

▎ Conclusion

Now let's look at the conclusion. In the Bible in every generation there were those who persecute and those who were persecuted. Those who persecute belong to the devil and those who are persecuted are those who belong to God and it was the same way in every generation. In every era those who belong to God were persecuted and those who belong to the devil like it says in John chapter 8 lied and persecuted. 

Therefore through one's actions we can clearly see which group belongs to God and which group belongs to the devil. This kind of persecution also takes place today. Today the reality of those who persecute are the pastors and the church members of traditional churches of Revelation 6. The reality of those who are persecuted are the new kingdom and new people of the 12 tribes of Revelation 7. We must perceive that this kind of persecution is the fulfillment of the prophecies of the New Testament

scriptures. 

At this time there is a kingdom of victory that overcomes persecution and gets created according to the Bible and the reality is Shincheonji church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony the 12 tribes. The 12 tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus is a kingdom of victory which has been created according to the New Testament Revelation. In the midst of severe suffering and persecution it has been created by being harvested in Revelation chapter 14 being sealed in Revelation 7.

Also it says in Revelation 21 that God and the kingdom of heaven in the spiritual world come to Shincheonji and become one and God eternally reigns. Those who belong to God will rejoice when they hear this news, have it as their hope and come to Shincheonji and become one whereas those who belong to the devil will be offended and they will continue to persecute. I hope that we can reflect on ourselves to see whether I belong to God or the devil. And those who belong to God let’s become one in truth.

Dear beloved pastors, theology student and church members did you listen to

today's words well? Next time we're going to go over the law of the new covenant that must be kept with the main reference of Hebrews 8. What is the law of the new covenant that we must absolutely keep? And what is the reality of those who keep the law of the new covenant and those who don't? And what is their result? Let's find out the answers to these things. The instructor who will lecture next time is someone who testifies to the word much better than I do. So please come in great anticipation and great hope in your heart. Let's meet again next time. Lastly we will shout that we are one in God and also in Jesus. Surpassing ethnicity, nationality and religion we are one in God. We are one.
