The following article has been written according to SCJ Open Bible.
Our purpose is to instruct all Christians in a deeper knowledge of God's word and to lead them to a deeper faith.
Why do we call our church
"Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony?"
"Shincheonji" is a Korean word that means new heaven and new earth.
It is a reference to the new heaven and the new earth in Rev 21.
We are the "Church of Jesus" because Jesus is the Lord of our church.
We use the name "The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony" because we are the place where the testimony about the fulfillment of the New Testament is being proclaimed.
The fact that we are the "Temple" is also important because a temple is a holy place where God dwells (Rev 15:2-5).
The Holy City, the new Jerusalem (Rev 21:2)
While most churches in the world have concocted their names using their thoughts,
Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Tmeple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony and its congregation members are prophesied in the New Testament (Rev 1:6; Rev5:9-10; Rev 7:14).
We are the new kingdom of god and the new chosen people of God. It was approximately 2,000 years from Adam to Abraham (physical Israel) and another 2,000 years from Abraham to Jesus' first coming.
Today, it has been another 2,000 years since Jesus' first coming.
There have been many transitions over the course of biblical history.
The world of Noah began when Adam's world was put to an end.
The period of the law (physical Israel) began when the world of Canaan - the descendants of Noah - was put to an end.
The period of the church (Spiritual Israel), during which the seed of the gospel of heaven was sown, began when the period of the law was put to an end.
Today, the period of the church has come to an end and the time of harvest has begun.
Indeed, the period of the 1,000 years of Shincheonji Church of Jesus(Spiritual New Israel) has begun.
Althought they listened to the revealed word from Jesus (Isa 29:9-14; hab 2:2-3; Eze 1-3; Mt 15:24), because the Physical Israelites were accustomed to the teachings of men, they could not understand or accept Jesus' words.
Instead they persecuted him and his followers as heretics.
Today, over the alst 2,000 years the people of Spiritual Israel have been proclaiming the good news about Jesus, who fulfilled the Old Testament.
They have been spreading the seed of the gospel of heaven, which Jesus spoke in figurative language.
Although Spriritual Israel has worked so hard for so long to spread this gospel, they do not understand the revealed words of God's scroll being preached to them (Rev 6, Rev 8, Rev 10) - the scroll that was once sealed with the seven seals (Rev 5).
They, too, label those who deliver the revealed word as "heretics".
This tragedy has occurred because the testimony of the revealed word is at a different level than the teachings of men.
Just as Paul cast aside the knowledge of the world and opted instead for the revealed word (Php 3:7-9), believers of today must abandon the knowledge and teachings of men for the sake of the revealed word.
There will be salvation only for those who truly understnad the revealed word and believe it.
The Christian world today has been plunged into a spiritual night without the sun, moon, and stars (Mt 24:29-44; Rev 6:12-13).
Today believers live in comfort and secrity without discerning the nature of the times.
Those who live in comfort claiming to be saved, claiming to be orthodox, and claiming to have already received the Holy Spirit are not telling the truth.
The Bible tells us that the time of Revelation is a time for the passing of one generation and the approach and creation of another (Rev 21).
At the time of Revelation's fulfillment, those who are purchased by the blood of Jesus (Rev 5:9-10) and whose names are recorded among the 12 tribes (Rev 7) receive salvations as the chosen people of God's new kingdom.
Only those who understand the revealed word will "board the ark" of the 12 tribes and receive salvation.
