What is Shinchonji?

The emblem of Shinchonji is the emblem of heaven. It represents the holy city, New Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven. This emblem expresses how God and His throne will come down to this earth as promised in the Bible(Rev. 21:1-3; Rev. 22:1-3). It has been patented and registered at the Korean Industrial Property Office. The two outside circles symbolize the universe and the earth respectively, and the square inside the circle is God's kingdom ― the holy city, New Jerusalem.

In each era of the Bible, God's kingdom has been divided into twelve tribes. In the time of the Old Testament, Jacob (who received the name Israel), became the father of the twleve tribes of Israel. The twelve tribes also appear in the Book of Revelation. Rev. 7 shows the people belonging to the twelve tribes being wealed with the word of God. These twelve tribes have now been established, and bear the names of Jesus' disciples, as well as the names of the twelve tribes of the Old Testament.
