The Conselor and the Promised Pastor

 

The Counselor and the Promised Pastor

In every generation God chooses one person as his promised pastor. That person must speak on behalf of God and obey the commands he is given. The Bible refers to this person speaking on behalf as the Counselor. This is what 1 Jn 2:1 means when it mentions “one who speaks in our defense.” This Counselor is both spiritual and physical—spirit and flesh. The spiritual Counselor (i.e. the Holy Spirit of truth) speaks God’s words on God’s behalf. The pastor chosen by God receives these words from the Spirit of the Counselor and speaks them to believers on behalf of God. Since the spiritual Counselor dwells within a person and uses that person to carry out its appointed task (Jn 14:16-17), the person (pastor) the holy spirit speaks through is the physical Counselor.

John the Baptist, who came in the name of Elijah, was actually referred to as Elijah in the scriptures (Mt 11:10-14, Mt 17:10-13). Jesus said seeing him was seeing God because God was with him and because he came in the name of God (Jn 5:43, Jn 12:44-45, Jn 14:9). The Counselor who has come in Jesus’ name is the spirit (word) of truth who teaches us the things of Jesus (refer to Jn 14:26, Jn 16:14-15). He is a teacher who protects us with grace and truth1. Can this holy spirit who is supposed to teach us do so floating through the air? The Spirit of the Counselor teaches us through a person. This is the same reason Jesus, with whom God’s spirit was residing, spoke on behalf of God as the “Wonderful Counselor.” The Spirit of the Counselor is sent by Jesus to speak on Jesus’ behalf through a person. This person, the one who overcomes promised in the New Testament, is the physical manifestation of the Counselor (Rv 2-3, Rv 10). He becomes New Spiritual Israel by overcoming, he establishes the 12 tribes (Rv 12, Rv 7), and he receives the blessings promised in Revelation 2 ~ 3. The one who overcomes is given the authority to judge and to rule all nations. He receives the food that leads to eternal life, and God, Jesus, and the holy city descend on him. He is even granted the authority to sit on Jesus’ throne with Jesus.

Therefore, opposing the Counselor, who is both spirit and flesh, is opposing God and Jesus. This Counselor testifies what he has seen and heard regarding the word of Revelation and the fulfillment of the New Testament prophecies (Rv 22:16). This Counselor is only preaching the revealed word at the location of the twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel—Shincheonji (refer to Rv 7, Rv 14, Rv 21). This is the only place where believers can learn the fulfillment of the prophecies. It is the only place believers must seek, find, and go to for worship. This is the will of God, and Christians must obey. Let’s confirm‍ this for ourselves, learn the truth, and obtain salvation.

We are the messengers of heaven who have regained God’s kingdom from the devil. We are the people working to restore the kingdom God lost for the past 6,000 years. If we are the people of heaven, we must unite as one and work to fulfill our appointed tasks together.

God’s Thoughts (Wisdom) and the Devil’s Thoughts (Wisdom)

 

 

Main reference: Jn 8:41-47

 

How do God’s thoughts differ from the devil’s thoughts?

Just like how the fruit of the tree of life tastes different from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God’s thoughts and the devil’s thoughts are different. God’s thoughts allow one to know the reality through the Truth so that they can be born again from death to life. However, the devil’s thoughts create lies, and to hide his wrongdoings, he makes people believe those lies.  This is also known as deception.

The one who deceived Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3 and the Pharisaic pastors in Matthew chapter 23 were the serpents. Also the Nicolaitans in Revelation chapter 2 of the New Testament, also known as the dragon, the seven heads, and the ten horns from Revelation chapters 12 ~ 13, are the serpents. It is written in Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 that the dragon is the ancient serpent, the devil and Satan. Therefore, they are all the same entity. 

The reality of this serpent is the evil spirit and also the pastors who belong to the evil spirit. Because this false spirit (evil spirit) becomes one with the pastor and work together, they are both the same devil.

What is the evidence that proves that God’s words are true and the devil’s words are lies?

As we see in Genesis chapters 2 ~ 3, God’s words were true and the serpent’s words, which are the words of the devil, were lies. The reality that took place as a history, as found in the Bible, is the evidence.

The work of Abraham and Moses promised by God was fulfilled according to His prophecy, and it was proven to be true. The promises made through the Old Testament prophets were fulfilled at the time of Jesus (Jn 19:30), and they too were proven to be true. However, at the time of the First Coming, the pastors (serpents) of the devil, the Pharisees, fabricated lies to hinder the work of God.

The Israelites boasted that they were the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They called themselves the chosen people who belonged to God,  and they called God their father (refer to Ex 3:15-16; Jn 8:41, 54). However, Jesus revealed that the pastors of Israel who were persecuting him were liars. He said that their father was the devil, and they too were the devil.  He said this because their father was a murderer and a liar from the beginning, and they were lying just like their father (John chapter 8).

This serpent, the devil, lied to Eve during the time of Adam (Genesis chapter 3), he lied during the time of Jesus’ First Coming (John chapter 8), and he lied during the time of Jesus’ Second Coming (Revelation chapter 2).

Throughout the past 6,000 years of the 66 books of the Bible, we are able to see that the pastors who belong to the devil fabricated lies to persecute the messengers sent by God.  With those lies, they wrote books of commentaries and taught them to the church members, making them believe in those lies. They have been sowing the seed of the devil and creating their own army.  With their army, they have been persecuting and going against those who belong to God, God’s army.  

God’s thought was to sacrifice His one and only beloved son to save and bring back to life those who fell into sin. The devil’s thought is to create lies, so people cannot believe in God’s truth and eventually be led to death. This is similar to what the serpent did to Eve during the time of Adam.

God’s characteristics (qualities) are life and the truth. The devil’s characteristics are death and lies. These are the thoughts and the wisdom of each of the entities. In Revelation chapters 21 and 22, those who belong to God and those who are cursed appear. Those who are cursed are those who fabricate lies as recorded in Revelation 21:8 and 22:15. They are the devil, the pastors who belong to the devil, and it is recorded that they will be condemned in the burning lake of sulfur.

How did the pastors of Israel treat Jesus at the time of the First Coming? They slandered Jesus by calling him a cult, persecuted him, and they went as far as to kill him. How about today? Today is the time of the Second Coming of Jesus, the era of Revelation. The heavens and the earth saw and heard what the pastors of the world have done to the tabernacle temple and the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.

The one who overcomes in Revelation, like Jesus at the First Coming, becomes the tree of life. He receives the revelation of God, that is figuratively called the water of life as clear as crystal that flows from the throne of heaven, to give to all people without cost (Jn 14:6, 15:1, 5; Revelation chapter 22). The one who fabricated 14 different lies (content MBC PD Note reported and broadcasted in 2007) to persecute Shincheonji and those who teach commentaries made of lies, will enter the burning lake of sulfur. Also, those who add and subtract from Revelation will enter the flames of hell (Rv 22:18-19).

Regardless of who it is, If one desires to enter the Holy City where the tree of life is at, they must be born again through the water of life (Revealed Word) as clear as crystal that flows from the throne. They must wash the robes of their hearts and have their names recorded in the book of life (Rv 21:27, 22:1-5, 14). If one believes only in the words of the false pastors but do not believe in the words of promise that God gave, then they will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus entirely reveals the events of Revelation to the promised pastor (New John) and chooses him to be his messenger to speak on his behalf as the Advocate. He sends him to the churches to testify to the events of the entire book of Revelation (Rv 22:8, 16). Those who believe and receive this testimony are those who believe in Jesus, as it says in Revelation 1:2-3.

God’s new kingdom is created through those who believe in this and are sealed. This is the place where God dwells. This is the kingdom of heaven.

Amen!

The World before Moses,

the Old Testament, and the New Testament

 

Main references: 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles (History in the Bible), Old Testament and New Testament

 

Let us look at the history and its process in the Bible, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. 

The Five Books of Moses were written by Moses who recorded what he saw and heard.  The events of Genesis, the world of Adam, and the world Noah occurred before the time of Moses, so God spoke of these events to him. God spoke of the history (NKJV Gn 2:4), and in them are also hidden things, mysteries (Ps 78:1-2). 

If we look at the recorded words in Genesis chapter 1literally as the creation of nature, there will be many things that are hard to understand.  Jesus at the time of the New Testament also spoke of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven in parables, not in plain language (Mt 13:34-35).

The cause of the corruption of Adam’s world, Noah’s world, and Moses’ world, Abraham’s descendants, was Satan’s schemes.  The flesh, ignorant of the spirits and Satan’s deception, did not know and thus, committed sin.  Sin is not keeping God’s covenant, like Adam (Hos 6:7).  They sinned, because they were born in the hereditary line of a betrayer, a sinner.  Jesus told the Jews in John chapter 8, “You are doing the things your own father (devil) does” (Jn 8:41-44).  And he told them to be born again by God’s seed and spirit (Jn 3:1-6). They did Satan’s actions through the characteristics of the spirit of Satan and his deception. As a result, one must be reborn by God’s seed and spirit.  

Because sin could not be resolved with the law, God promised through Prophet Jeremiah, at the time of the Old Testament era, that He will do a new work and establish a new covenant (Jer 31:22, 27, 31). The Jesus planted this seed of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven and proclaimed that one must be born again by God’s seed and spirit to go to heaven.  The one who received God’s seed received God’s spirit through repentance.  

Unlike Adam’s world, Noah’s world, and Moses’ world, Jesus did not betray but went into martyrdom.  This is the difference between those born of the sinful seed of Adam (hereditary seed) and those born of God’s seed. Moses heard of the events of the past world from God (Ex 17:14, 24:4, 34:27), Jesus saw and heard from God and said that he existed before Abraham (Jn 8:26-28, 51-58). In spirit, he was in God and saw these things.  There is a difference between the one who was in God since the beginning and the one who heard a history from God.  However, Jesus revealed the hidden things of old in parables. 

Until now, these are the events that Moses heard and recorded from God, from Genesis until Jesus’ first coming.

The things Jesus spoke about were the fulfillment of the Old Testament and the prophecies in the New Testament in parables.  The new covenant (New Testament) is prophesied in parables, and this is the covenant made with the congregation members who believe in the New Testament. 

The world before Moses were the world of Adam, the world of Noah who was Adam’s 9^th descendant, the world of Abraham who was Noah’s 10^th descendant, and the world of Moses who was Abraham’s descendant.  Knowing the reality of the past and his present situation, what kind of resolutions did Moses make? And how did he approach and handle in keeping God’s covenant (Ex 19:5-6)? He must have known very well the actions of the people in the past world and reacted accordingly. 

Jesus of the New Testament knew very well the events that happened in the past 4,000 years.  The life of all mankind in the world depended on the resolution and decision of one man, Jesus.  Jesus did not betray like the pastors of the previous world, but he followed God’s will into martyrdom.  He was able to make this kind of resolution, because he was born of God’s seed and God’s spirit.  He knew very well that if he did not bear the cross, there would be no atonement of sin and salvation.  Furthermore, he would not be able to find back the world that had been handed over to Satan after Adam’s sin (Lk 4:5-6).  The words of the new covenant that Jesus spoke, the New Testament, was regarding the events that he will fulfill in the future. And as mentioned above, he spoke of these events that he will fulfill in parables.

The blood of cross and the covenant Jesus established with his blood (prophecy) takes into effect at the time of the New Testament fulfillment.  Who can completely know this? One can know from the Book of Revelation that without Jesus’ blood, there is no kingdom of God, no salvation, and no victory (Rv 12, 7, 5).  This lets us know that the world before Jesus and the world after Jesus are different from one another.  The reason there is the kingdom of God and salvation at the time of Revelation, is that Jesus’ blood that he shed takes into effect at the time Revelation is fulfilled.  With his blood, Jesus purchases the kingdom and priests (Rv 5:9-10). With that blood, there is the great multitude dressed in white (Rv 7:9-14) and with that blood, we are freed from sin (Rv 1:5-6). And by overcoming with that blood, there is God’s promised kingdom (Rv 12:10-11). There is no salvation if one does not know this promised kingdom. The person who knows this has received the greatest and best blessing of all mankind.

After 6,000 years God captures the dragon and throws him into the Abyss.  After 6,000 years, God finds the kingdom He had lost, and He begins to reign over the world he created.  In 6,000 years, mankind experiences “a favorable season of ringing out the old and ringing in the new”, a world of peace. The day when mountains and streams, trees and grass, and all creation dance in joy has come.  It is the best Way since the beginning of time.  Death is put to an end and life begins for the first time; it is the destiny of the new heaven.

 Amen!

Heaven and Hell

Heaven and Hell

 

 

 Main references: Mt 13, 23

 

The words “heaven” and “hell” mostly appear in the New Testament Bible. “Heaven” appears 37 times (37 verses containing that term, in 18 chapters), and “hell” appears in 13 places (13 verses containing that term, in 8 chapters).

 

How are heaven and hell different from each other?

 

Heaven is where God the Creator is; it is a paradise where there is no death and pain (Rv 21:3-4). Hell is the fiery lake of sulfur; it is a where the eternal punishment of sin is given (Rv 19:20, 20:10, 21:8).

 

This judgment takes place according to Jesus’ words recorded in Jn 12:48, and according to Rv 20:12. Judgment takes place according to what people had done as recorded in the books (the Bible). From this judgment, those who kept the Lord’s commands go to heaven, and the sinners who did not keep the commands (covenant) enter the fire of hell.

 

Every man is born with the gene of the transgressor Adam (born with sin), and there are the original sin, the hereditary sins, and the personal sins. The law of Moses required atonement sacrifices with lambs’ blood in order to rid sin, but this could not make sin disappear (Heb 10).

 

God had Jesus bleed on the cross so that the people can receive atonement of sin through Jesus’ blood instead of that of the lambs. In order to go to heaven, one must first receive the atonement of sin through Jesus’ blood; second, one must be born again with God’s seed and His spirit, and third, he must be harvested and be sealed. These are God’s commands, and the Bible is the promise of God.

 

If these things are not fulfilled in one's life, he will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

▶ Analysis regarding heaven

 

Where Apostle John went up to and saw in Rv 4 was heaven in the spiritual world. It says that this heaven will come to the one who overcomes on earth (Rv 3:12).

 

The time this heaven comes down to the earth is the time of the creation of the new heaven and the new earth, which comes after the first heaven, the first earth, and the sea disappear; it says that the holy city (heaven) will come down to this new heaven and new earth (Rv 21).

 

It says in Mt 6:10, "God’s will is to be fulfilled on earth, as it is in heaven.” This is the heaven in the spiritual world, and what is fulfilled on earth is the heaven in the physical world. This is like how Moses saw what was in heaven and built it on earth (refer to Ex 25). When the spiritual world comes down to the physical world and becomes one with it, it is like how a bridegroom and meets the bride, and lives together (refer to Rv 21:9-11).

 

The spiritual world and the physical world were one when God created the heavens and the earth (refer to Gn 1:26-27), but the heaven of the spiritual world left because Adam sinned and became a sinner.

Jesus forgives such sins of men through his blood, and God of the spiritual world returns to be one with them; this is heaven where the spirit and the flesh become one.

 

Jesus said, “the kingdom of heaven is near (Mt 4:17),” at the First Coming, and he said in Mt 13 that he was “heaven” (verse: 24, 37). He also explained many times what the kingdom of heaven is like. “The kingdom of heaven that is near” came to Jesus, and God in heaven also came to Jesus. Although heaven and God could not be seen with physical eyes, they were with Jesus.

 

▶ Analysis on hell

 

Hell is the fiery lake of sulfur; it is the place where the devil, the beast, and the false prophet are tormented day and night for ever and ever. This is also called, “the Abyss (Rv 20:1-3)”, and this is hell, the lake of fire into where even death and Hades are thrown. To describe it simply, it is the lake of fire where the spirit and the flesh are tormented. This is where the devil and the sinners who did not receive the atonement of sin go to.

 

Jesus said it is better to go to heaven with just one eye, with one arm, and one leg, rather than having the whole body thrown into the fire of hell (Mt 18:8-9).

 

Hell is where the devil is, and heaven is where God is. If the Israelite pastors at the First Coming, today’s pastors in Korea, and Shincheonji (the pastors and the congregation members) are put on scales, who will go to heaven and who will go to hell? Jesus said that the trees can be recognized by their fruits (Mt 7:16-20). Their actions will testify about themselves.

 

(refer to Mt 19:28) Jesus, today’s One Who Overcomes, and the 12 disciples (Jesus’ 12 disciples, the 12 tribe leaders) are the ones who judge the churches with Calvinist doctrine, those who belong to worldly politics, and those in Stewardship Education Center who came to money and power. There is no one else who was given the authority to judge; this is what the Bible says.

 

What is sin? Sin is to not believe (refer to Jn 16:9). Believe in what? Jesus and the words of promise Jesus spoke. Why do they not believe in the pastor who came as promised? Why do they not believe in the prophecies and their fulfillment? It is because they have much of the devil’s ingredient, sin. How could the devil believe in God and His Word?

 

As God, Jesus, and the One Who Overcomes appear in Korea, will people stay quiet? Isn't it a fact that the devil’s army will cause a fuss? But the place where God came to, the place where God’s Word is fulfilled is truly a blessed place.

 

In the past, and now, people claim that they carry on their lives of faith. However, believers who are with the devil that appears at the time of the promise, become even more evil than the non-believers. They do the actions of the devil because the devil is with them. At this time, the believers whom God is with receive persecution more than any other time. However, their prize is heaven; this is what the Bible says (refer to Mt 5:10-12).

 

Of course, both the devil and God choose people who closely resemble their own characters, and they fulfill their purposes with their chosen ones. God fulfills the prophecies He had promised, and the devil obstructs what God fulfills. The reason the devil obstructs is that when God’s prophecies are fulfilled, God, whom it had been denying, is acknowledged. God is acknowledged as the true God when His promises are fulfilled, and that is when God’s purpose is fulfilled.

 

One who believes in God believes in Him for two, three reasons. One reason is that God is the Father who created him. Another reason is that heaven will be fulfilled on him. Another reason is that he does not desire to be in hell’s fire with the devil.

And there are three things that a believer must know. One is that he must know God. Another is that he must know the devil, and another is to know the words of promise and His kingdom.

 

A true believer must know himself in front of the Bible. If one still has not been born from the heavens, does not know the will of the heavens, and does not know God’s promise and His will, then it is night and darkness for him. Read 1 Thessalonians 5. You can find yourself there. Many talk about lives of faith, but most have not even entered the gate to lives of faith.

 

The most joyful news to the believers is God, heaven, and eternal life; one must find this kingdom and the righteousness and to carry on his life of faith. If he has not found it, then he is still lost; but the one who has found it, has arrived at the destination. There is a beginning and an end to life of faith. The result (the end) is the kingdom of heaven, the world of peace. And he becomes the family of the heavens.
