[Shincheonji Comparison of Bible Doctrine] What is the hidden manna in Revelation 2?
"The revealed word of the secret heaven which the New Testament is fulfilled, Overcomer who received and ate the book of revelation in chapter 10"
[Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony]
Before we find out about the hidden manna, let's first find out about the manna in the time of Old Testament to help you understand. Manna was the food that God gave to the Israelites when they came out of Egypt during the time of Moses about 3500 years ago. In Exodus 16:31, it is written that this manna was 'white like coriander seed, and tasted like wafers made with honey" Manna in the time of Moses was physical manna, and it was food that you die even though you eat.
However, at the first coming Jesus said in John 6 that people died even though when they eat the bread given by Moses but whey you eat the bread given by me, you will not die and live forever.
These were truly groundbreaking words of Jesus. He called himself the living bread that came down from heaven and the bread you can live forever when you eat. He also said that the one who eats and drinks the flesh and the blood of Jesus will have eternal life and he will raise them up at the last day. Jesus said in John 6:63, "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.'.
Therefore, the words of Jesus at the first coming are the spiritual food that saves the soul. and this is the manna at the first coming. God is the Word, and Jesus is the Word. To eat the blood and flesh of Jesus is to hear the word of life of Jesus.
At the time of Moses, people ate physical manna came down from heaven. However, at the first coming, hearing the word of life given by Jesus is eating spiritual manna. By eating it, our spirits will live. This was the only food that only Jesus could give at the first coming.
Many people misunderstood the word of Jesus and went away, but when Jesus asked, 'Are you leaving too?', Peter confessed, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." Peter realized that Jesus, who had the word of life given by God, was the living bread and manna.
Then, what is the hidden manna that Jesus promised to give to those who overcome at the Second Coming? In Matt. chapter 24, is called 'food at the proper time' which is given at the time of the Lord's Second Coming. Also, Jesus promised in Luke 22 that when the kingdom of the Father comes, the new blood and flesh of Jesus will be eaten. This is the word of life, and this is the hidden manna in Revelation 2.
Therefore, the hidden manna that Jesus gives to overcomer at the time of Lord's Second Coming that God came down is not physical food, but spiritual food, that is, the word of life of Jesus.
The hidden thing means that what is fulfilled in the future is said in parables. Jesus spoke parables regarding the secret of the kingdom of heaven. This parable was hidden until the time came, but the secret is revealed when the reality of the prophesied parable appeared.
In Revelation 5, it is said that the words of prophecy of the New Testament, the words of the book of Revelation, are sealed with seven seals in the right hand of God. No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth understand these sealed words. But Jesus has triumphed and he was able to open the scroll and its seals. Through this revealed book, the word of revelation of the New Testament, it was given to an overcomer who is promised shepherd in Revelation 10. The overcomer could receive this revealed book because he fought and overcame Satan's Nicolaitans who destroyed God's chosen people.
Therefore, the overcomer becomes a faithful and wise servant who gives food at the proper time in Matthew 24, and conveys the word of revelation to peoples, nations, languages, and kings.
Therefore, the words written in the revealed book are the hidden manna that the overcomer received. Also, the word of revelation which the New Testament is fulfilled and the overcomer who received the word become manna at the Second Coming of the Lord.
In summary, manna is food provided by God, but manna at the time of Moses was physical food. However, manna at the first coming is the spiritual food that is a living bread given by God, that is, Jesus and the words of reality which the Old Testament preached by Jesus is fulfilled. The hidden manna that we should eat at the Second Coming of the Lord is the overcomer who received the revealed book from the angel in Revelation 10 and ate and the word of reality which the New Testament preached by the overcomer is fulfilled. This is also the spiritual food.
"Well-being food, the best nutritious food, not sure but something that gives you energy"
[Existing denomination Baptist church A pastor]
What is given to overcomer? the hidden manna. I don't know what the hidden manna is. But once you eat, it will give you strength. give you energy. There is no one who does not become strong when you eat manna.
Manna does not cause diabetes, does not develop high blood pressure, is the best nutritious food, and is a completely healthy food.
This is the food that angels who came down from heaven ate. Because this is manna, God just hid it and gave it to you. Then, if you eat mana, what is the result? the power arises.
