[Shincheonji God's Word] Prayers at the End of the Age when All Nations have Fallen

Main reference : Rv 17-18

All nations have fallen and have become the possession of Satan, and maddening wine of adulteries comes out from the mouths of the pastors who have become Satan’s possession. At a time like this, where must the congregation members pray?

Because the Physical Israelites worshipped Gentile gods at the time of King Solomon, the 11 tribes in the North became the possession of the Gentiles and gave service in Samaria. One tribe in the South – the tribe of Judah—gave  service in Jerusalem. Even the one tribe of Judah (Jerusalem) in the South betrayed God and became the possession of Gentiles (Isaiah 1).

Furthermore at the time of Jesus’ First Coming, Israel was held captive by the Gentiles (Roman Empire). It was during this time Jesus came and spoke with a Samaritan woman. He said at this time, ‘it is not in Samaria, nor in Jerusalem, but when you pray go into your room’ (refer to Jn 4). Why did prayers and service have to be done in their rooms and not in the temples? God was searching for those who were praying in rooms. What is the reason for this? At that time, just like the words of Isaiah, Israel was captured by the Gentiles, and the pastors became Gentile pastors, offering service worshiping Gentile gods. This is because of the maddening wine of adultery; Satan’s words came out of the mouths of these pastors who became Gentile pastors.    

At the time when God and His son Jesus came, the actions of the pastors of that time were the actions of Satan, and the actions of an enemy.  Having service together with them is listening to the words of Satan, and worshipping Satan himself. Of the prayers that are lifted up, there are prayers the Lord does not accept or listen to according to the words of Isaiah chapter 1.

Today is the end of the age as a result of the corruption of the world of religion, and the end of the era Satan controlled. All nations fell as a result of the maddening wine of adulteries, and have married the spirit of Satan (Rv 17-18). Will God really receive prayers lifted up to Him from a place like this? Even today, it is the time to go into our rooms to pray just like at the time of the First Coming. 

At the time of Moses, God separated His people from the Gentiles, and the angels destroyed all the firstborns of the Egyptians. Also in Ezekiel chapter 9, a mark (seal) was placed on the foreheads of those who grieved and lamented over all the detestable things done in the city of Jerusalem. All those who did not have the mark were slaughtered. Even today, at a time when all nations have fallen, there are those who are sealed and those who are not. Those who are sealed will live, and foreigners (Gentiles) who are not sealed will be killed 1/3rd at a time (refer to Rv 8, 9).

Why is it that today, those who claim they are the most fervent believers do not believe in Jesus’ promises? Today there are the sealed people who are harvested, and the weeds that are not harvested. Of the two, whom will God save and whom will He throw out? Why do they not believe in the words of the Lord?  

The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) split into two (CCK and the Committee to Countermeasure Cults [CCC]). They are calling each other cults. Is this what you call orthodox? Are they believers who truly believe in the Lord? Is this what you call the light and salt of the world? Would God really dwell at a place like this?

Look at the 12 tribes at Mt. Zion who have been sealed and harvested. They are the Light created according to the New Testament promises God made. People at that time called Jesus, who came as the Light in the name of God, a heretic, and now there are those who call the pastor, who has united with the spirit of Truth who comes in the name of Jesus, a heretic. This is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (refer to Mt 12:31).  Believers must discern for themselves which path is the road to salvation.

[Shincheonji Bible Quiet Time] James 1:5

 

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

 

James 1:5

[Shincheonji God's Word] Let Us Distinguish the Truth from the Lies Using the Bible

Let Us Distinguish the Truth from the Lies Using the Bible

Although people are sinners and have been continually hostile toward God, he loved us sinners so much that he gave us his son (Jn 3:16). The son of God bore the cross on our behalf (Jn 1:29) and now he lives within us (Gal 2:20). Jesus taught us to love our enemies (Mt 5:44) and to forgive others their sins (Mt 6:14-15). People who believe these words of Jesus and put them into practice are true believers. Those who refuse to act upon Jesus’ words are not believers at all. Anyone who strays from Jesus’ teachings is acting according to his or her own personal thoughts, opinions, and judgments. The contents of the 66 books of the Bible can be divided into history, teaching, prophecy, and fulfillment.

Biblical history can be divided into several time periods that lead up to today. The period of the judges followed the time of Adam, Noah, Moses (Exodus), and Joshua (the entry into the land of Canaan). The period of the judges was followed by the period of the kings and prophets, the period of the gospel of heaven, during which the Old Testament was fulfilled, and the period of the epistles written by Jesus’ apostles. Now is the time the New Testament is being fulfilled – the period of Revelation. Now is the time of judgment when the good grain is separated from the weeds. Those who believe the word are separated from those who do not believe it (refer to Mt 13:24-30, 36-43, Mt 25).

It is not by human standards that groups of people are judged as being orthodox or heretical (cult members). The only standard that should distinguish orthodoxy from heresy is the Bible. Present-day churches are not orthodox; they are merely holding onto their traditions. The Jewish people (the Pharisees and teachers of the law) stigmatized Jesus as a cult leader and ended up killing him (1 Thes 2:15; Mt 23:29-35). Was Jesus, who preached the revealed word of God (Jn 14:10, 24), a true cult leader? The Jewish people judged Jesus and killed him using their own standards and opinions, which deviated from the Bible (refer to Acts 7:51-54; Mt 27). Pontius Pilate, on the other, realized that Jesus was innocent (Mt 27:24).

Although Shincheonji (SCJ) proclaims only the revealed word of God, a certain person has been calling SCJ a cult. At one point I gave that person 40 questions about the Bible and asked him to answer them and explain. Now, although it has been a few years, I have not received any response. Yet, he is still claiming that SCJ is a cult. Just as Jesus, his disciples, and the prophets of old were denounced as heretics, SCJ is also being denounced as a cult. The New Testament indicates that, at the end of the age, all churches will belong to demons, and the pastors and congregation members of those churches will not even realize that they have united with Satan (Rv 17, 18, 13). In the midst of such a situation, only believers that are sealed with the word and that belong to the promised twelve tribes of the New Testament will become God’s kingdom and priests (Rv 7, 14). Let us speak of what is written in the Bible and answer only according to the Bible. Have those who persecuted SCJ ever willingly accepted our demand for a serious conversation?

I, as chairman of Shincheonji, Man Hee Lee, Church of Jesus, do not even own one square meter of property, and neither does my wife or my son. Why would God’s children, who will eventually receive God’s inheritance, be greedy about such trivial possessions? I would never do anything to jeopardize God’s greater reward. I only act according to the word of God. I teach people about justice and fairness, but I also put these principles into practice. How can someone like this be a cult leader? People who do not stand God’s word – people who tell lies and persecute others – they are the real cult leaders. What does the Bible say about those who will receive salvation in this generation? Those who escape the group of the persecutors to join the group that is being persecuted are the ones who flee from Satan and receive salvation. Let us not forsake the truth.

[Shincheonji Truth] Heaven School

Goodbye!! I'm off to Heaven School~!!

 This was written by a husband, whose wife is a member of Shincheonji Church in Cheonju.
It's a Sunday morning, and my wife is busy as usual.
She gets breakfast ready and goes out into the garden, picking lettuces while humming to a song. What is it that makes her excited all the time? After I finish my breakfast, as if my wife was waiting for me to be done, she asks me, "Please drive me to the bus stop so I can go to Heaven School."
Since it took about 30 minutes to walk from our house to the bus stop, my wife moves more busily on days she goes to church.

To be honest, I don't understand her. I scolded her saying, "Why take time to go all the way to Cheongju when you can just go to the Catholic Church right next to us?" My wife just smiles and retorts, “I am still a child, so I must go to Heaven School no matter how far it is."
Our family has been going to Catholic Church since a long time ago.
So, there was no way that I was going to be happy about my wife going to a church far away which I had no knowledge about. But what can I do when she persists on going. When I drive her to the bus stop so she can go to Heaven School, in a moment with a happy look on her face, she waves goodbye saying, "Goodbye. I’m off to Heaven School."
But where is this Heaven School?
Is it called Heaven School because it's really in heaven?
Then one day, I found out that my wife was going to a place called Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Some people came to the store early in the morning leaving a newspaper behind that said, "City of Truth, Beautiful Shincheonji." It was the church's newspaper.
Without opening it up to take a look at it, I crumbled it up and threw it away in the trash can. My wife, who was watching from afar, jumped up surprised and rebuked me saying, "Why are you throwing this away? This is the advertising newspaper that our church members left!"
I have heard unpleasant rumors regarding Shincheonji around me, so I was uncomfortable knowing that my wife was going to such a place. My wife sensed my uneasiness, and thoroughly explained to me what place Shincheonji Church and who the Chairman Man Hee Lee exactly was.  She also bragged saying that only those whom God loved could go to Shinchonji.
My wife was actually one hotheaded woman. She became easily angered and yelled a lot as well. She was the type of person who didn't listen to other people’s words but was busy displaying her own.
However, my wife is now gentle and listens to other people. She has changed into a person with composure. Even for me, as her husband, I would have to admit that there was a big change to an extent where I would sometimes suspect her to be the right person.
The change in my wife definitely began when she started to go to Shincheonji.
So, it seems right to me that my wife was going to Heaven School, as she greeted me every morning. I mean, look at the way it’s changed a person.
Today as well, my wife is sitting at her desk with the Bible open,
reviewing the things she's learned at Heaven School.
Regardless, my wife is just as lovable and far more trustworthy than ever.
The place where God’s family, whose beauty is beyond that of angels, has gathered, we are the City of Truth, Beautiful Shincheonji. 

[Shincheonji God's Word] Today’s faith check-up

Today’s faith check-up


Since the scriptures cannot be broken (Jn 10:35), everyone’s deeds will be judged according to what is written in the book (Rev 20:12).
Catholicism emerged from Judaism, and Protestantism emerged from Catholicism. Now Protestants have splintered into hundreds if not thousands of denominations that each claim to be orthodox and to have received the holy spirit. Can this be true?
Jesus asked whether or not he would find faith on earth when he returns (Lk 18:8). The Bible says that all nations have been deceived and have married the devil (Rev 18:23). It says the sun, moon and stars will darken and fall (Mt 24:29; Rev 6:12-13), Jerusalem will be destroyed (Mt24), and that the second coming will be like the time of Lot and the time of Noah (Mt 24:37-39). Can anyone say that they the only orthodox people who are saved after reading these passages? The prophecies of Revelation say that no one who adds to or subtracts from the Bible’s words of prophecy can enter the kingdom of heaven (Rev 22:18-19). I would like to ask one question to everyone who claims to be saved. Do you truly know and understand Revelation without adding to it or subtracting from it? If you do not, how can you claim to be saved or to be orthodox? Jesus said in Rev 10 and Rev 22:16 that he sends his messenger to testify about these things for the churches. Who else, apart from this messenger of Jesus, can testify about Revelation?
If you met Jesus’ messenger, would you listen to him? Would you persecute him as a heretic? You can hide from men, but you cannot hide from God. Let us become honest believers. Let us repent, understand the truth, believe, and be saved. People who have learned only the teachings of men cannot understand the word of revelation that is taught by the holy spirit. Just as Jesus and his disciples were persecuted in the time of the first coming, these people persecute the messenger sent by Jesus by calling him a cult leader. Today, this one messenger sent by Jesus has come into the world (Rev 10; Eze 2-3).
