Let us know the Bible and Shinchonji correctly

• “Above all, you do well if you recognize this: No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination, for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” (2Pe 1:20-21)

• “… speaking of these things in all his letters. Some things in these letters are hard to understand, things the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures.” (2Pe 3:16)

Many churches have claimed that 666, the number of the beast’s name, represents a bar code. They theorize about the rapture, saying that churches and believers will be lifted up to the sky. They create these theories and make these claims to explain 1Th 4, which says, “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” They lecture about why the seven heads and the beast with ten horns symbolize the seven most powerful countries in the world and the ten biggest countries of the European Union. They are not making these claims because they have received the spirit; their claims are false testimonies based on their own thoughts.

At 11 p.m. on March 12, 2008, I watched a video that had many Christians talking about the events of the end times. The video had several clips based on Revelation, and it gave a general survey of the way Christians generally think about the end times (including 666, the rapture, and the beast with seven heads and ten horns). The video clips describing the events of Revelation were based only on peoples’ imaginations. The actual events of Revelation are different. It is wrong for people who did not see or hear the physical fulfillment of Revelation to make any such claims.

Jesus ate the sealed scroll of God, which was spoken of through Isaiah (Isa 29:9-13; Hab 2:2-3; Eze 1-3). After God told Jesus where to go and what to say, Jesus obeyed accordingly (Mt 15:24). Therefore, Jesus was the only person who saw and heard the words of God’s Old Testament scroll. Because Jesus as the only one to understand its prophecies and witness its physical fulfillment, he was the only one who could testify about them (Jn 3:31-34; Jn 19:30). There were so many pastors and believers at the time of the first coming, but they did not understand this idea. They persecuted Jesus as a heretic instead of acknowledging his testimony as the truth. Their ignorance proved that they did not have the ears to hear what the spirit spoke to them. The time of the first coming was the “end times” for the Law, the prophecies, prophets, and even Physical Israel. Jesus opened a new spiritual era as he sowed the seed of the gospel of heaven. Hence, how could the will of the priests of the day be the same as the will of Jesus?

The New Testament (Revelation), which contains prophecies about the events of the Lord’s second coming, also mentions a scroll sealed with seven seals in God’s right hand. No one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth is able to read or look inside it (Rev 5:1-4). There is an appointed time when God and Jesus will open this book and proclaim its contents to the world. No one is able to understand the scroll before that appointed time arrives. Anyone who claims to know the contents of the scroll before that time is a lawbreaker with a heretical testimony. Just like the Old Testament, the sealed scroll in the New Testament is given to Jesus after the enemy of God captures God’s chosen people. Jesus takes the scroll, breaks all seven seals (Rev 6, Rev 8:1-2), and gives the scroll to the angel in Rev 10. The angel gives it to the chosen pastor and tells him to eat it, just like what was prophesied in Eze 3. The chosen pastor carries out his mission according to the commands he receives telling him where to go and what to say. This promised pastor carries out the same task as Jesus, who received the scroll at the first coming. The Old and New Testaments each have designated pastors who eat and proclaim the words of the the open scroll (Rev 10). Furthermore, they both establish a place for all the nations to go and worship God (Rev 10, 15). Today’s believers should not make the same mistakes as the people at the time of the first coming who lacked perception and understanding. We must believe the Bible and act according to it; we must make the Bible our way and our teacher.

In the time of the first coming, all of Israel denounced Jesus as a heretic and eventually killed him. Today, in the same way, the entire country of Korea is trying to destroy Shinchonji by calling it a cult. Despite all their attempts, the revealed words of the open scroll are coming from Shinchonji. I testify with absolute certainty that Shinchonji is the only place where the Bible has been completely mastered. Believers must first verify whether this claim is true. When God sent Jesus, he gave people the word of life through one person. God carried out his work of judgment through Jesus as well (Jn 5:22-24). Believing in this one person was the only way to obey will of God (Jn 6:40). In the same way, Jesus’ will in the New Testament is for all people to believe that the word of life and the authority of judgment all belong to the one person who has received the open scroll (Rev 10; Rev 2:26-27).

[Shinchonji God's Word] Who am I ?

The texts: Gen 1, Jn 1:1-4, Rev 21:6
 
 
Who am I (saints), and what era am I living in, according to the Bible?
 
In the Bible, there was the time of Adam, the time of Noah, and the time of Moses, as well as the time of Jesus’ first coming.
There was the prophecy spoken through Abraham, the prophecies spoken through Old Testament prophets, and the prophecies spoken through Jesus and his disciples.
 
The prophecy God made through Abraham was fulfilled at the time of Moses; the prophecies God made through the Old Testament prophets was fulfilled at the time of Jesus (Jn 19:30), and the prophecies God made through Jesus and his disciples in the New Testament are fulfilled at the time of Revelation, which is the time of Jesus’ return (Rev 21:6). God fulfills His promises through the people living in each era.
 
The time I am living in now is 2,000 years since Jesus prophesied the New Promise (Testament). The only thing I have and believe in is the Bible, this one book. I consider this book the food of life, and the path to heaven.
 
Everyone faces sorrow, pain, mourning, and ultimately death due to the original sin that people are born from and because of this, people cry out loudly. However, God is not in a position to listen to everyone’s personal situations. God must take back the earth He lost because of Adam’s sin, He must resolve the problem of human sin, and must renew all creation, creating the new heaven and new earth.
 
At the time of the fulfillment of the promised prophecy, God must look after the workers (whether they are men, or angels), and hear their report. Although people say they believe in God, they don’t know God’s will and cry out for things that are only beneficial to them. Do the people know what kind of work God does at the time of the fulfillment of the New Testament?
 
When God’s objective is accomplished, we – those who believe in God – will also have our hope accomplished. Who am I at the time of the fulfillment of the New Testament? Who am I? Who am I? How much do I know God’s will, act according to His will, and desire salvation and the kingdom of heaven? God’s work is clearly not the work of the world.
 
I (the writer; the promised pastor) was born as a light of heaven, met a heavenly being, was led by the star, and swore loyalty to God with my blood. After this, I met Jesus who came down from the clouds. I was anointed, and I sent the letters to the seven stars (the 7 messengers of the Tabernacle Temple). I was put in prison for preaching the word.
I have heard and witnessed, in person, the entire events of Revelation, at the place where they were fulfilled. Following the Lord’s will and command, I have traveled the world three times to make these events known. This is because I believe in God and this one book, the Bible.
 
 
The Heavenly Culture and Sports event, and everything else that Shinchonji has hosted, was done according to the Bible. The reason the breath I take and the way I think of the word and God, all matches up, is because God and His word are my life. I always remember Mal 2:5-7. In fact all of Malachi chapter 2 (1-17) is always on my mind and never leaves my thoughts.
 
I continuously pray to correct any faults, and to make the good things even better, so as to give more glory to God. I think of the 6,000 years of filthy and confused history, and remember God’s kingdom and His righteousness. I promise time after time to be the city of truth, justice, and righteousness, and a virtuous king. I pledge this because I, someone who is no better than a worm, can only see Jesus who shed his blood for me. We have seen both angels and humans, those who believed in God and worked hard for God, being led astray.
 
I was a filthy, empty bowl originally. In order to fill this bowl (heart) with God and life, I wash my heart with the heavenly water, clear as crystal, again and again. You must always protect your own heart.
I am still a child, and immature. I am so worthless in the eyes of man, how would I look in God’s eyes? Would he even remember me? However, I have dedicated my heart to the Lord’s work.
 
When I am tired, because there are so many things to be done, I want to leave my flesh and fly like a butterfly up to the sky, riding on the clouds, I sing, I dance, I write poems, as if I am flying up to the sky. Lord who came to my silent heart and planted love, I risked my life to build a relationship with my first love, Jesus, whose face I see in the Bible…. ‘Love that is thicker than blood, a betrayer will never know.’ Because of this I remember Jesus’ love, that he was even willing to shed his blood, and I dedicated myself, not to be like physical Israel who forsook their first love, but to establish the kingdom that stands like a rock with an unchanging faith.
 
The earth is our inheritance. Jesus’ new command is to have an unchanging love, which gives life, like the sky gives it light, rain, and air without discrimination against borders, races, and religions. Therefore, I continue to dedicate myself to keep this command and to establish the kingdom of life, light, and love.
 
When the representative of the Gwacheon Tabernacle Temple, Mr. Yoo, whose spiritual name was Samson, shouted out “God, please give me the power one more time” after he had betrayed, I saw the tabernacle of the seven stars collapsing on the spot! What good does it do to regret after sinning? The ownership of the Tabernacle Temple was transferred to the Presbyterian church of gentiles, as written in Deut 28. We, who saw this, must establish the eternal kingdom that will never be destroyed, as written in Dan 2:44 and 7:13-14. This will be done through faith. Our hope is God and the kingdom of heaven.
 
The God of Shinchonji listens to the prayers of the Shinchonji saints. Shinchonji is the promised kingdom, God’s kingdom of heaven, and Shinchonji members are one. Let us love each other.

[Shinchonji] To the point:

Shinchonji has nothing to hide… At times, when we hesitate to answer something it is simply due to the fact that history repeats itself. We are warned in the scripture that history was given to us in order to be able to examine it and remember it as a warning and example for the day of God’s promised fulfillment (1 Corinthians 10:11). Now, how many people listened to Jesus when he was on the earth, proclaiming the truth? In contrast, how many people heard his message after the crucifixion? – hindsight is really twenty twenty! Unfortunately today there will also be a period for hindsight, but by then it is too late. We ask that people come and listen, hear the testimony being offered freely and reason with the teacher should you find a cause to do so. But instead of this happening, they hear a few hard facts and immediately draw their conclusion… this is exactly what the Jews did at the first coming.

Look at what happened 2000 years ago? Who where those who had been waiting for the promised pastor from God? Who were those that rejected him and plotted to kill him when they realized their own imperfection in the light of what he was saying (John 3, 7)? Who were the people who spat in his face, called him a sect, mocked him and murdered him?
 
Matthew 23: 30-32 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

Acts 3:12-14 When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him overto be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.

James 5:6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

It was those who claimed to truly love God, those who swore that they were God’s children and those who thought that they would never be blind to the word of God. Yet God’s fulfillment stood before them and they chose to watch him die, rather than face that they had taught thousands of people incorrectly. The people at the first coming were waiting for their own fulfillment of God’s word. If they had only wanted to hear Jesus’ testimony of how he came and fulfilled everything in the old testament, perhaps they would have had their eyes opened, to see the true miracle standing before them. Before they verified according to scripture they had already turned their backs and walked away: The sad truth is that they were waiting for Jesus, but their Jesus, not God’s Jesus… tell us, today, who are you waiting for?

Today we have received a new teaching, not one that abolishes the old promises, but one that fulfills them and in doing so makes them perfect. Would you be willing to listen?
 
Mark 1: 27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.”

John 6:60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

FACTS:

Who? Currently 80,000 members worldwide, and increasing rapidly.

What? A church that declares its origins in the book of Revelation.

When? Established on March 14, 1984

Where? Originating from South Korea but for many years has been established Internationally and is still being established in more countries worldwide.

Why? To teach all who are seeking, to testify to the truth we are witnessing and to completely establish God’s kingdom today, so that the 6000year of God’s work can be fulfilled and finished.

How? By gathering 144,000 who are sealed by the word of testimony to preach the word to the ends of the earth (Rev 14:1-5), and see “…a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb…” (Rev 7:9)

Shinchonji’s path of Righteousness – Some Questions for you:

Proverbs 4:18-19 & Isa 8:16-22

Ever thought about how easy it is to get lost when you don’t consult a map.   So, to help us all on our journey back to God’s kingdom, God thought he would make us a map.  We can use it to find righteousness.  It will come in handy especially if we ever find ourselves doubting what we believe.  The catch is that he leaves it up to us to read, it’ up to us to actually consult it, and to make sure we aren’t reading it upside-down or from our own inaccurate perspectives. Now,  since there is one who has been sent to proclaim the truth, one sent by Jesus Christ and God and one who has seen all things from a heavenly perspective, he can explain this map to us according to the word that Jesus revealed to him.All those seeking, should have the spiritual ears to hear and the spiritual eyes to see that we are incredibly blessed to be alive at this time. All nations should take the opportunity to listen to the explanation from “another counsellor”, a counsellor to come after Jesus, but in Jesus’ name… the same way Jesus came in God’s name. This revealed word is being testified from Shinchonji, Church of Jesus, and it is the truth that guarantees we read our map the right way up, understanding all the  road signs and warning signals along the way and following it right to the sea of glass, before God’s throne.

Here’s a hint to get us started on our journey:  often, when prophets in the Old Testament referred to themselves in the context of their own prophecies, they were not referring to themselves.  A certain Ethiopian eunuch asked Philip questions about this in Acts 8:26-38.

The prophet Ezekiel provides a wonderful example of this.  In his visions he saw many things.  In one of his earliest visions he records seeing a hand with a scroll in it stretched out before him.  The scroll is unrolled before him and he is given the instruction to eat the scroll.   After eating the scroll he is sent, by God, to testify the contents of that scroll to the rebellious house of  Israel (Ez 2:9-3:6).

This is interesting because the scroll that was closed at first was only consumable after it was opened.  Before ‘Ezekiel’ eats scroll and delivers its contents to the people of Israel they do not know what the words are.  Thus, in his vision, Ezekiel is appointed God’s messenger to the rebellious people of Israel.

Later on in scripture, this role is revealed to be a prophetic one.  At the time of its fulfilment, it was Jesus who carried out the actions which God had prophetically revealed to Ezekiel.  Col 2:2-3 and Mt 15:24, among others, help us to understand this better.  Perhaps we will write a more extensive explanation of this later, but in the same was that Jesus was given the full revelation of all the old testament prophecies by God, Chairman Man Hee Lee has been given the revelation of all the new testament prophecies by Jesus. At the time of the first coming Jesus came to perfect God’s promises (the Law) by completing them – all the things that were prophesied in the Old Testament were concerning Jesus and fulfilled at Jesus’ first coming (John 5:39), and this was how he completed the prophecies and made them perfect (Matthew 5:17). In the same way our promised pastor today, comes to fulfil all of Jesus’ promises made in the New Testament, he has witnessed the fulfilment of all these prophecies because Jesus opened up the sealed scroll and gave it to him to eat, and then go and testify to all nations, peoples and kings (Revelation 5, Revelation 10).

For now, see if you can answer these:
 1.Who is the I character mentioned in Isa 8:16-22?
 2.How does this I character relate to the light of the sun (“light of day” or “light of noon“) and in what sense did the lamp precede it?
 3.Why is Isa 8:20 the connection between the dim light of a lamp, that shines in a dark place (2 Pt 1:18-19) and the light of dawn?
 4.How can one identify the light of dawn (Isa 8:20)?
 5.What allows the gleaming light of dawn to grow to the full light of the noonday sun (Prv 4:18-19)?

Of course, the most intriguing question is how does this apply to us?

Feel free to post any answers to these below, if you would like.

And if you wish to hear more please contact us, we would love to talk to those seeking to understand.

[Germany] Man Hee Lee, Berlin Open Bible Seminar

 

About 600 ministers and Biblical scholars from 28 different countries including Africa and Italy were in attendance. (Berlin Open Bible Seminar)

 

Chairman Lee, who began the lecture by saying, “Brothers of Europe, I am here to testify God’s Word as promised in the Bible, in Matthew 24 and Matthew 13, and the Book of Revelation,” gave a passionate lecture for about two hours, without even taking a sip of water.
 

All the theologians in attendance were shocked at the content of the lecture, summarizing all the chapters of the Book of Revelation, starting from Revelation 1:1.

 

Shinchonji church in Germany said that it has prepared great instructors and education system, preparing for such fervent requests for studies after. Zion Christian Mission Center of Shinchonji, with about 300 facilities in 13 different countries of the world, had 20,000 students in last year alone, and graduated about 85,000 students in total—boasting being the biggest in the world from a single denomination.
 

 

Question-and-answer followed for the next five hours, along with interviews

 

 

There were ministers who emotionally commented, “This is God’s Word!”

[Shinchonji] The sealed book and proof that the book has been revealed

The sealed book and proof that the book has been revealed
What is the sealed book? What is the book that will be revealed, and what is the book that has been revealed?

• The amazing work that will be revealed

Many pastors and theologians claim “We have received the Holy Spirit. We are saved. We are orthodox. Those people are a cult.” Does God approve of what they say and believe. The Bible says otherwise. Jesus asked whether he would be able to find any faith when he returns (Lk 18:8). The prophecies in Revelation record that all nations are destroyed through deception, and that the world commits immoral acts with the devil. She lives in sensual luxury while selling the wine of her adulteries (Rev 17, 18). At a time like this, should you trust anyone or anything except the Bible?

According to Isa 29:9-14, heads are covered, eyes are closed, and the seers and prophets are shocked and amazed. The book (the revealed word) is sealed to them. They proclaim the teachings of men and not the revealed word of God. The hearts of those who receive the teachings of men are far from God. They have become gentiles. Can there be salvation for a blind pastor or for the blind people he teaches? This is when God promised to do something absolutely extraordinary.

When will God accomplish this extraordinary deed? God told the prophet Habakkuk that every vision has an appointed time when it will be fulfilled (Hab 1:1, 2:2-3). Who, then, will fulfill it? How will it be fulfilled? After the chosen people betray and are taken captive by the gentiles, God comes to the Son of Man described in Eze 1-3. He shows him the open scroll that was formerly sealed (the sealed book), and tells the Son of Man to eat it. God commands the Son of Man to speak on his behalf to the Israelites who betrayed him and are being held captive. This sealed book represents the Old Testament and its prophecies. Jesus fulfilled this prophecy at the time of the first coming.

At the time of the first coming, Israel belonged spiritually to the devil and physically to the Roman Empire. God came to Jesus and gave Jesus his word. Jesus, according to the prophecy in Ezekiel, went to preach to the Israelites who rebelled against God (Mt 15:24; 1Jn 2:1). When Jesus came, he fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies of Isaiah, Habakkuk, and Ezekiel.

• The New Testament’s sealed book (Revelation)

As mentioned, the portions of the Old Testament that were a sealed book (i.e. the visions and prophecies) were fulfilled by Jesus (Jn 19:30). Who, then, will fulfill the sealed scroll that is in God’s hand in Revelation? Who will fulfill Jesus’ New Testament promises and how will they be fulfilled?

This book, which has words written on the front and back, was given to Jesus according to Rev 5:7. Its physical fulfillment has also appeared accordingly as Jesus broke each of the seven seals (Rev 6, Rev 8:1-2). The book Jesus opened was given to an angel and that angel gave it to Apostle John. According to Rev 10, the angel told John to eat the scroll and commanded him to preach it to the many peoples, nations, languages and kings held captive by the dragon’s beast with the seven heads and ten horns (Babylon). John is proclaiming the prophecies and fulfillment of the entire book of Revelation, which is what he saw and heard. John also proclaims God’s revealed word just as Jesus did at the first coming (Rev 1:2). He fought against the enemy and overcame him. His victory allowed him to harvest people and create the 12 tribes (Rev 12, Rev 7). Apostle John does all of this according to the words of the sealed book just as Jesus did at the first coming (Jn 16:33; Mt 19:28).

The problem is no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open or look into this sealed book (Rev 5:3-4). Only one person can open, receive, and proclaim the open book. Today, believers must decide whether they want to follow pastors who preach the thoughts of men or the pastor who teaches the original and orthodox revelation from heaven. They must decide whether they are going to remain in their own churches or join the promised 12 tribes. Everyone must discern which route is in line with God’s will. They must choose between the open, revealed book from heaven (Rev 10) and the teachings of men. Both use the Bible, but one speaks the revelation of God and the others speak the thoughts of men. Please listen to both and decide (Job 34:3-4). Obviously the revelation of God is not the same as the teachings of men. If people who follow the teachings of men call the revelation the cult, does that mean it is true? Who is the true heretic?

Shinchonji - What is the true meaning of Rv 1:7?

The correct understanding of the Bible and of Shinchonji – The New Heaven and New Earth

This site and all of its content has been written according to the Bible. Our purpose is to instruct all Christians in a deeper knowledge of God’s word and to lead them to a deeper faith.

What is the true meaning of Rv 1:7?

As the prologue to Revelation, Rv 1:1-8 is a highly condensed summary of all the chapters of Revelation. Before we discuss Rv 1:7, we should remind ourselves that Rv 1:7 is also part of that summary.

The fact that Jesus returns with the clouds means that he is coming in spirit. Clouds are capable of hiding things from view. In Acts 1:9-11, Jesus’ disciples were staring into the sky after Jesus’ ascension, and a cloud hid Jesus from their sight. Some angels told the disciples, “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven,” (Acts 1:11b). Matthew 24:31 says that Jesus will return with his angels, while Mt 24:27 says the coming of the son of man will be like lightning. Luke 17:22-24 says, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the son of man, and you will not see it. For just like the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the son of man be in his day.” Jesus also says in Jn 16:10, “Concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer.” Apostle John saw the spirit of Jesus in Rv 1. As a matter of fact, the one who comes with the clouds is actually referring to the angel in Rv 10—the angel who comes in the name of the Lord.

In Mt 23:39 Jesus said, “You will not see me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’” The one who comes in the name of the Lord is the Advocate—the spirit of truth mentioned in Jn 14:26—which dwells within a person (Jn 14:17). The one in whom the Advocate—the one who comes in the name of the Lord—dwells also becomes “the one who comes in the name of the Lord.” Seeing the person in whom the spirit of the Advocate dwells is the same as seeing the spirit of the Advocate, who is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. If Mt 17:10-13 and Mt 11:14 are taken together, seeing John the Baptist, who came in the name of Elijah, was the same as seeing Elijah. According to Jn 5:43, Jn 14:8-11, and Jn 12:44-46, Jesus came in the name of the Father, and the Father dwelled in Jesus. Seeing Jesus, therefore, was the same as seeing the Father, and believing in Jesus was the same as believing in the Father. Similarly, God, Jesus, and heaven come down to the one who overcomes (Rv 3:12), and the one who overcomes sits on Jesus’ throne with him (Rv 3:21) at the time of the second coming. Hence, saying that Jesus comes with the clouds means that he is coming in the spirit. It is just like a cloud that hides things from people’s sight.

The fact that every eye will see him means, as discussed above, that people will see the person with whom the spirit of the Advocate has united. Seeing that person is the same as seeing the Lord. It is true that the spirits of those who pierced Jesus at the time of the first coming will see the spirit of Jesus when he returns at the time of the second coming, but the eyes of those who pierced Jesus (Rv 1:7) do not refer to those physically dead people. Because God was one with Jesus at the time of the first coming, those who pierced Jesus pierced God as well (Jn 15:23). In the same way, those who pierce the witnesses standing before the Lord in Rv 11 pierce Jesus at the time of the second coming.

The earth in Rv 1:7 is the same as the earth in Rv 13:8-10. It symbolizes God’s chosen people (the sun, moon, and stars mentioned in Gn 37:9-11) who are destroyed and return to being mere flesh when they fall from heaven. The destruction of the chosen people occurred in Adam’s time, Noah’s time, and Jesus’ first coming. What does it mean for all the tribes on the earth to mourn because of him? Just like the song of Moses in Dt 32 and the Lamentations of Jeremiah, the capture and destruction of God’s chosen people by the figurative nation of Babylon is a sign of the second coming. These chosen people will mourn because of their destruction. This is what it means for all the tribes on the earth to mourn. Although the two witnesses before the Lord put on sackcloth and work to help these formerly chosen people to repent, can the people understand if their spirits are dead? Anyone who is not harvested to receive salvation at the figurative Mt. Zion (Rv 14) will mourn. They are not morning the death of the two witnesses; they are mourning those who fell from heaven and were captured by the gentiles as a result of their betrayal in the end times. They also mourn the death of the spirits of those who were captured by the gentiles and refused to believe in the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
