Shincheonji stands for "New Heaven and New Earth," with the meaning of the new tabernacle and new congregational members. (2 Peter 3:13, Mt 13:31-32, Rv 14:1-5, Rv 15:2-5) Just as Moses built the tabernacle on earth as a copy according to what God had shown him in the vision of heaven, today SHINCHEONJI is created on this earth as according to what the Promised Pastor has seen in the spiritual heaven. Therefore, Shincheonji is God's kingdom created on earth as in heaven.
If you want to be a part of the twelve tribes of Shinchonji Church of Jesus (SCJ)—God’s kingdom here on Earth—you must be born again by sealing the revealed word of the New Testament in your mind and in your hearts (Jas 1:18, Rv 7:3-4). First, you must be evangelized with the revealed word and must carefully study the Bible. This step, the elementary level, is compared to drinking milk in Heb 5:13. When you are qualified, you will be given an interview at one of our mission centers. After passing the interview, you will progress through three different levels of Bible study (i.e. elementary, intermediate, and advanced), taking an exam before progressing to the next level. Each level lasts about two months, making the whole course of three levels last roughly six months. After this training course is complete there is a final exam of about 300 questions. You must receive a score of 90% or above to pass. Finally, after graduating from the mission center, you must pass a new comer’s training course that lasts between one and two months in order to register as a member of SCJ. Anyone who does not score 90% or above on their final exam must retake the entire course. No one is allowed to advance to the next level without passing this exam. Although anyone can register as a member of regular churches, SCJ is very different. Only people who seal (Rv 7:4-8) the word of God in their hearts and minds in fulfillment of the new covenant (Heb 8:10) can be qualified as citizens of heaven. The pastors and congregations of regular churches do not have the word (Am 8:11-13). For this reason, God is re-creating the people of his kingdom with those who are born again. As stated, SCJ graduates have all received 90% or better on a final exam consisting of 300 questions about the Bible. If the chairmen, pastors, theologians, and elders of the world’s denominations were to take this test, however, they would not even be capable of answering 20% of the questions correctly. It may seem outlandish, but this claim has actually been verified. If you think you can get over 90% of these Bible questions correct, please come to take the test. Who, according to the words of the new covenant (Heb 8:10), are true believer from God’s point of view? Without question, God will acknowledge SCJ mission center graduates as true believers. SCJ people want God more than power or money. Today, there is so much false information circulating in the Korean Christian world. Everyday, however, there are more and more wise believers coming to learn the revealed word of the Bible in SCJ. We are busily holding graduation ceremonies every week. This is evidence that the one true God and his faithful followers are siding with SCJ.
Shinchonji Throne Mark is the mark of heaven representing the Holy City, the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven to the New Heaven and New Earth, Shinchonji, as can be seen in Revelation 4 and 21. This mark proclaims that God and God's throne come down to Shinchonji, created as what is in heaven, and is a registered trademark 42-001873.
Two outer circles represent the universe and the earth, respectively, and the square inside of the circle signify God's kingdom, the Holy City, the New Jerusalem. The Bible in the center in the colors of jasper and carnelian represent God who has the Word of eternal life, and the colors of rainbow encircling the throne represent God's covenant.
The cross in the center of the city represent the way of Jesus' cross and fountain of water of life, signifying the way that God's Word comes out of. The twelve gates-three each in east, west, south, and north (Rv 21:12~13)- are the gates of the Twelve Tribes, and the trees inside the city represent the Twelve Tribes of New Israel, bearing twelve crops of fruit by receiving the Word of eternal life.
God's kingdom appearing in every era was the twelve tribes. Jacob of the Old Testament received the name of "Israel (the ne who overcomes)" and became the beginning of the twelve tribes of the physical Israel. Jesus who came to the land of Judea also overcame the world (Jn 16:33, Mt 4, Lk 4) and created the twelve tribes of the Spiritual Israel through the twelve disciples.
Work of harvesting and sealing 144,000 with the Word takes place at the time of harvest in Revelation 7. It is mount Zion where the 144,000 are sealed, and the 144,000 who are sealed with the Word are called the "firstfruits"(Jas 1:18). The 144,000 are the Twelve Tribes created by being sealed with God's seal. God's new kingdom, Shinchonji, is made up of such Twelve Tribes.
The Twelve Tribes of the New Spiritual Israel, created by God, is something new that has never eisted before, and it is the only kingdom of God and His temple. The Twelve Tribes are established with the names of the twelve tribes of the Old Testament era, along with the names of Jesus' disciples. Because it is said that those who do not belog to the Twelve Tribes in the last days do not become part of the people of God's kingdom, Shinchonji Twelve Tribes are working for the purpose of making known Shinchonji to the whole world, while healing all nations.
Shinchonji stands for "New Heaven and New Earth," with the meaning of the new tabernacle and new congregational member. (2 Peter 3:13, Mt 13:31-32, Rv 14:1-5, Rv 15:2-5) Just as Moses bulit the tabernacle on earth as a copy according to what God had shown him in the vision of heaven, today SHINCHONJI is created on this earth as according to what the Promised Pastor has seen in the spiritual heaven. Therefore, Shinchonji is God's kingdom created on earth as in heaven

(Rv 15: 4-5) SHINCHONJI is God's kingdom on earth, created as his will is fulfillded on earth and it is heaven. It is a creation of 6,000 years of God's work, and a holy temple that the priests and the people who are to be saved in the Lord belong to. SHINCHONJI the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is working to heal all nations as it is testifying to the revelation and what is seen and heard, as according to God's will.
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for te churches. (Rv 22:16)
* God's kingdom
- Jesus who came in the name of God
Two thousand years ago, at the time of the First Coming, God dwelt within Jesus, who came in the name of God. The Bible says seeing Jesus was seeing God (Jn 5:43, 12:44-45, 14:9)
- The Counselor who came in the name of Jesus
It is written the Counselor, who comes in the name of Jesus, is the Spirit of Truth (word) and will teach what Jesus said (Jn 14:26, 16:14-15). Hence, this counselor is a teacher who will protect and teach with grace.
- The promised pastor whom the Counselor, the holy spirit is with
Jesus, whom the holy spirit of God was with, was referred to as the one who speaks on behalf of God, the Counselor. Similarly, the person whom the Counselor, the holy spirit Jesus sent is with is the pastor promised in the New Testament, that is, the one who overcomes (Rv 2-3, 10).
* the kingdom of God created on this earth
- The overcomer who fulfills the promise
Currently, the pastor of Shinchonji Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is creating God's kingdom of heaven here on earth just as he saw it in heaven.
Just as Jacob physically gave birth to twelve sons in the past and created the twelve tribes of Israel (Gn 49), he became the New Spiritual Israel, created the twelve tribes, and is bearing twelve crops of fruit every month. This is proof that he is the one who overcomes (Mt 19:28; Rv 22:1-2).
Why do we call our church "Shinchonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony?"
"Shinchonji" 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 te world have concected their names using their thoughts, Shinchonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony and its congregation members are prophesied in the New Testament (Rev 1:6; Rev 5:9-10; 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 Israedl) and another 2,000 years from Abraham to Jesus' first coming. Todya, it has been another 2,000 years since Jess' 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 theseed 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 th 1,000 years of Shinchonji Church of Jesus (Spiritual New Israel) has begun.
Although 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 ther last 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 Spiritual 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 ot 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 understand 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 security 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 fulfillmnet, those who are purchased by the blood of Jesus (Rev 5:9-10) and whose names are recrded among the 12 tribes (Rev 7) receive salvation 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.
When I look back and think about how God changed my life since I am in Shinchonji I’m amazed.
I grew up in a christian family and naturally believed in the Bible and went to church every sunday. I knew most Bible stories but never understood deeper passages in the Bible. I tried getting deeper into the Bible and understanding even the book of Revelation but I failed. Evantually it wasn’t really important to me because I grew up with the thought that it was enough to believe in Jesus and that he died for my sins. In my thinking that was the only requirement to be able to go to heaven. However I was always wondering what God’s actual will was because I knew that there was more than ”this”. I just didn’t know what to look for.
I started searching and asking questions like: ”Why are there so many different denominations and churches and ways interpreting the Bible when there is only one Bible and one Jesus? Every church has different ways of worshiping God – is this God’s will?” But I never got pleasing answers.
When I knew about Shinchonji, I finally found the truth, the eternal life I was always reading about in the Bible. I’m so happy that I’m with Shinchonji and I can’t thank God enough. Now when I pray to God my Father he actually hears my prayers and gives an answer. Finally I know what God wants from me and what I have to do to become his priest.
If you want to find the truth, understand the whole Bible and live eternally with God and His Kingdom I encourage you to come and find out for yourself. It’s worth it – I promise!
Shinchonji stands for "New Heaven and New Earth," with the meaning of the new tabernacle and new congregational members. (2 Peter 3:13, Mt 13:31-32, Rv 14:1-5, Rv 15:2-5) Just as Moses built the tabernacle on earth as a copy according to what God had shown him in the vision of heaven, today SHINCHONJI is created on this earth as according to what the Promised Pastor has seen in the spiritual heaven. Therefore, Shinchonji is God's kingdom created on earth as in heaven.
