[Shincheonji God's Word] Jesus' commission and power

According to Jn 10:35, the scriptures cannot be broken. Jesus came according to the scriptures, fulfilled prophecy according to the scriptures, and left again according to the scriptures. God promised Abraham that the Israelites would escape Egypt after four generations.
Just as he promised, God came to Moses, performed many miracles, and delivered the Israelites out of Egypt. Just as he prophesied through the Old Testament prophets, God came to Jesus and performed many miracles. He raised Jazaus from the dead and walked on water.
He fed 5,000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish leaving 12basketfuls of leftovers (Mt 15:17). How could Jesus have performed these miracles if God wasn't with him?

 

Moses had power because God was with him. Jesus had power because God was with him. God fed the Israelites manna and quail in the time of Moses (Ex 16). God also came to Jesus to perform powerful signs.
The priests of that time, however, were jealous of Jesus because they could not perform the same miracles. They cursed at their congregation members that followed Jesus. They tried to prevent others from going  to Jesus by calling Jesus a cult leader and the devil (Jn 8:51-59; Ac 24:5, 14; Mt 12:22-28). They should have given thanks and glory to God that Jesus was able to feed so many people with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Instead, they slandered Jesus for not keeping the traditions of the elders (e.g. washing one's hands before eating).
They were obviously not thinking clearly. True heretics blame others for their own wrong doing. Jesus, on the other hand, bore the cross for our sins and established the 12 tribes of the Spiritual Israel. He also promised what would be fulfilled in the future.

 

He promised he would return and then he ascended to heaven. Today, believers must not be like the Jews of that time, who refused to believe and instead told lies designed to harm others. We pray that everyone will believe in the work of God so that everyone can be saved.

[Shincheonji God's Word] The Lord’s Prayer & His Kingdom And His Righteousness

 Main reference: Mt 6
 
What is the true meaning of the Lord’s prayer, and what are his kingdom and his righteousness referring to?
 
After the choosing of the disciples, starting in Matthew 5, Jesus gave us commands to keep as believers. One of them is the Lord’s prayer (Mt 6:9-13). He also said to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness (Mt 6:33). These are the two main points of Matthew 6.
 
After seeing the way in which the hypocrites prayed and gave to the needy, Jesus told his disciples not to do these things to be seen by men as they (hypocrites) do, but to pray to God who is unseen. He then told us what we should pray (Mt 6:1-13).

 
This prayer is the Lord’s prayer that many believers recite at the end of worship services. They do so with their mouths without knowing its meaning. If one does not follow through with their prayer in action, one is a liar to God. He listens to our prayers only if we act as well.
 
● Explanation of the Lord’s prayer
 
1) Verse 9: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name
 
① In heaven
Where is the ‘heaven’ at which God resides? The place in Revelation 4 where God’s throne is located is the spiritual heaven. God coming to Jesus at the First Coming (Mt 3:16-17; 4:17) was the spiritual heaven coming down to earth.
Also, the ‘tabernacle’ on earth on which heaven came down was called ‘heaven’ as well. The reason is that just as the sun, moon, and the stars are in the sky, Israel, who are God’s chosen people, were figuratively referred to as the sun, moon, and the stars, and thus, God’s tabernacle was heaven, the spiritual sky (Gn 37:9-11; Rv 13:6; 12:1; 15:1, 5; Mt 13:24).

 
② Our Father
In John 8, when the Jews claimed that God was their father, Jesus said to them that their father is not the true God, but the lying devil (Jn 8:41-44). This was because they were born of the seed of the devil (liar).
Only by being born of God’s seed, which is his word (Lk 8:11), can one call God ‘father’. Furthermore, God will only acknowledge those born of his seed as his sons (children). God doesn’t just automatically become the father of someone born of the devil’s seed just because he calls (the true) God his father. Neither can he just automatically become God’s son.
 
③ Hallowed be your name
God is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He has no sin; he is the light of righteousness and life. He is the Lord who judges between righteousness and wickedness. He is also the owner of all nations and all creation. God is truly a holy and flawless being. It is only logical that his creation reveres and praises God’s holiness as he deserves.
 
2) Verse 10: Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
 
① Your kingdom come
This is praying for the spiritual heaven to come down to and unite with the tabernacle of heaven on earth. It is also praying for God, who left the world, to come down to the recreated kingdom (tabernacle) on earth.
 
② Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Moses (Ex 25) and Jesus (Jn 5) fulfilled on earth just as they saw in heaven. In the same way, at the Second Coming, the one who fights against and overcomes the devil (the promised pastor) sees the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, in Revelation 21 and 4. He then fulfills it (Rv 3:12). Although the devil and his group will interfere with this, God and Jesus will be happy. We also ought to be happy, as seen in Revelation 19.
 
3) Verse 11: Give us today our daily bread
 
In the time of Moses, until they entered into Canaan, produced their own crop, and settled in the land, God gave the people of Israel manna from heaven every morning (Ex 16:14-36). Jesus said, however, that although the forefathers ate the manna that Moses gave, they died; but that he gives the food that does not spoil, that endures to eternal life. He said that this food was the living bread from heaven, his flesh and blood (Jn 6). Jesus himself is also the ‘Word’ as seen in 1 John 1.
The true daily bread that Jesus gives is the revealed word of the New Testament. This revelation was sealed in God’s right hand in Revelation 5, but Jesus opened it starting in Revelation 6, and thus, gave it as ‘the manna from heaven’, as the real food that endures to eternal life. The one who overcomes (i.e. the New John) in Revelation 10 is the only one through whom we can receive this (revelation).

 
4) Verse 12: Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors
 
⇒ Refer to the explanations of verses 14-15
 
5) Verse 13: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
 
① Lead us not into temptation
Jesus told us to pray this because he knew what would take place at his Second Coming. As seen in Matthew 24, nations will rise against nations and kingdom against kingdom. At that time, many fall into deception and temptation so as to betray each other; and as there is an increase of evil, the destroyer stands on the pulpit. He is telling us to pray to not fall into these temptations and trials.
 
② But deliver us from the evil one
He is telling us to pray for deliverance from the destroyer during when he strikes and overtakes the chosen people.
 
③ For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
It is only proper for the power and the glory to be God’s because he is the creator of everything, the Lord of all, and the Lord of lords (1 Cor 15:28; Ep 4:6; 1 Tm 6:15). All created things must befittingly give glory to the maker (creator) of all beings.
 
● Verse 14-15: For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. *But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
 
Jesus spoke about forgiveness as follows.
In Matthew 18:21-35, the one whose master canceled his debt of ten thousand talents did not forgive his servant who owed him a hundred denarii, but had him thrown into prison until he could pay back the debt. The master, having heard this, called in the one whose debt he canceled, and asked why he threw his servant in prison instead of canceling his debt of a hundred denarii, when the master has canceled his own debt entirely. He then said that he too shall be thrown into jail, until he should pay back all that he owed.
This is a moral teaching regarding forgiveness. One who does not forgive others will not be forgiven.
 
● Verse 33: Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.
 

What kingdom is this referring to? It is indeed referring to heaven. One cannot see or touch this heaven. Expressed in parables, heaven comes down on the tree that grows from a seed (Mt 13:31-32). This heaven also comes down on the one who overcomes (Rv 3:12). God’s kingdom (heaven) fulfills here on earth as it is in heaven, and it is to this place that heaven (above) comes down. This heaven is the kingdom that he told us to seek. This kingdom is the sealed twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel (Rv 7, 14). We must seek and find this kingdom which God and the angels are with. Furthermore, ‘his righteousness’ that we must seek is the revealed word (Rv 10; 14:1-5) and faith, both of which can be found at this kingdom.

 
God’s will, as well as the objective of our faith that the 66 books of the Bible points to, is the twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel, the kingdom that is created here on earth as it is heaven. This is the place we as believers must go to.

[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.
