Those Who Believe and Keep the New Testament,
& Those Who Do Not Believe
Main references: Jn 12:48 (Rv 20:12-15)
Who are the believers of the New Testament, the promise of Jesus? And who are those who do not believe in it? What will be each of their outcomes?
It is written that Adam’s world, Noah’s world, and Moses’ world Israel did not keep God’s covenant like Adam (Hos 6:7; Jer 31:31-32).
God gave another promise through His Son Jesus, and this was the New Covenant, the New Testament. This new covenant was already prophesied in the Old Testament to be given (Jer 31:31-34), and God came to Jesus to establish the new covenant through Jesus’ blood (Lk 22:20). This new covenant was the prophecy of the New Testament, which was yet to be fulfilled. The gospel of the kingdom of heaven, the promise to fulfill the new covenant, was preached for the past 2,000 years as a testimony to all nations. And finally, the appointed time came for the Lord to fulfill His promise in today’s era (Rv 21:6).
The Lord spoke his words in the New Testament in advance so that when they happen, we may see and believe in them (Jn 14:29). What did he promise in the New Testament? And what has he fulfilled? In Matthew 24 and Revelation 13, a destroyer destroys a temple, and the pastors of God’s chosen people receive plagues. The chosen people, the Spiritual Israelites who are referred to as the sun, moon, and stars (refer to Gn 37:9-11), fall from heaven to the earth. They return to mere flesh and become night of darkness. In such night, Jesus and the angels come and harvest people from the east, west, north, and south (Mt 24:29-31). These are the promises in the New Testament, and they are fulfilled in today’s era.
In today’s era, just like the people at the time of the First Coming, there are those who believe in the promises of the New Testament, and there are those who do not believe in them. Those who believe in them are the congregation members of Shinchonji, and those who do not believe in them are Protestants. Who are the true believers? Who are the people who believe and keep the New Testament (Jn 14:23)? Who will be saved?
What are the differences between Shinchonji congregation members who believe in the New Testament, and Protestants who do not believe in it? The differences are like heaven and earth, and heaven and hell. If you look at John 3:31-34, it shows how the one born from the earth speaks of what he has seen and heard from the earth (things that belong to the earth), and how the one that comes from heaven speaks of what he has seen and heard from heaven. People who hear the things of heaven and believe in them are those who are sealed. It is to these people that God gives the holy spirit without limit. This is how much the things of the earth differ from the things of heaven.
Those who believe in the New Testament will go to heaven, and those who do not believe will end up in hell. Shinchonji congregation members will attain salvation because of their faith in the prophecies in the New Testament and their physical fulfillment. Protestants, however, will fall into the fiery lake of hell because they neither know the will of the New Testament, nor do they believe in it. Only when one repents, understands, and is born again of the revealed faith, will there be salvation for that person.
Let us further examine the differences between Shinchonji congregation members and Protestants.
Jesus revealed the hidden secrets of the kingdom of heaven (Ps 78:1-6) in parables (Mt 13). He promised that a time would come when he would no longer use the figurative language but would tell us plainly about the work of the Father (Jn 16:25). Roughly 2,000 years have passed since that promise was made. Today the work of God is not being spoken in figurative language, but it is being made known with clear explanations. Thus, the promise has been fulfilled. Those who know the physical fulfillment of this figurative language are Shinchonji congregation members. Protestants are outsiders because they do not know the word of parables, and they will be unable to receive the forgiveness of their sins (Mk 4:10-13). These are the differences between these two types of people.
Shinchonji congregation members have been harvested from the field (the church) where Jesus sowed seed. They have been harvested and brought out of the field like a thief in the night according to Jesus’ promises. Therefore, they are the physical realities who have appeared according to the word. Protestants, on the other hand, do not know that the word has been fulfilled. They still remain in the field. This proves that they are weeds, and are not good crops. This is the difference between these two types of people. Who are the ones who have kept the promise?
Furthermore, Shinchonji congregation members have been harvested, sealed, and have become the Twelve Tribes of the promised kingdom. This truly shows how the promises in the New Testament have been fulfilled, and they have appeared as realities. In contrast, Protestants have been neither harvested nor sealed. They have not entered into the Twelve Tribes of the promised kingdom. Just like the people at the First Coming, the Protestants do not realize that these prophecies have been fulfilled. This is another difference between these two types of people. Who are the ones in whom the will of the Lord has been fulfilled?
Shinchonji congregation members understood the physical realities of the parables by receiving the two month-introductory education where the secrets of the kingdom of heaven were plainly explained. They also understood the work of the Bible for the past 6,000 years by receiving the two-month intermediate education where epical facts from each chapter of the Bible—history, instructions, prophecies, and their fulfillment—were testified. In addition to introductory and intermediate, they also finished the advanced education and learned the revealed word of the opened scroll—the meaning of the prophecies of the entire book of Revelation (from Revelation 1:1 to Revelation 22:21) as well as the physical fulfillment and realities of those prophecies. They studied the prophecies and their fulfillment of one chapter of Revelation every day for about two months according to the 5Ws and 1H. They graduated from all the sessions with scores above 90% on the accumulative, 100 question graduation test. All Shinchonji congregation members passed the graduation test, and have graduated. No one in Shinchonji has added to or subtracted from Revelation (refer to Rv 22:18-19). It would not be wrong even if we say that this accumulative graduation test tests people to see whether or not they are qualified to become the people of heaven. Unlike these people, the Protestants do not know the physical realities of the parables concerning the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. They have been neither harvested nor sealed. They have not entered into the Twelve Tribes of the promised kingdom. They have also added to and subtracted from Revelation. These are the differences between Shinchonji congregation members and Protestants.
Protestants are outsiders who have not received the forgiveness of sin. They are people of the earth. Shinchonji congregation members, on the other hand, have become the people of heaven, the promised kingdom. This is the difference. It was the same in the days of Noah and of Jesus’ first coming. Who are the true believers? Who has the true faith? Who will attain salvation?
Korean Christians were numbered to be about 12 million, but that number decreased dramatically to 8 million. The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) recently divided into two different organizations due to issues over money, and now the number of Korean Christians is estimated to be only 4 million. Christians have become like the stars that fell from heaven, and have returned to mere flesh. People are calling each other heretics, and they curse each other. All this happened because the CCK worshiped a pagan god (the god of the Japanese Emperor) during the time of Japanese colonization. This is the end of the religious world, as according to the Bible.
Shinchonji Church of Jesus, in contrast, is growing rapidly day by day. The reason for its rapid growth is the fact that God’s word of promise being fulfilled in Shinchonji. Furthermore, Shinchonji has mastered the Bible because of the presence of the holy spirit (1 Cor 2:10). Having become the true light, Shinchonji is shining its light to the whole world. Hallelujah!
We of Shincheonji are ceaselessly praying for the withering Christian Council of Korea. Whether it was at Jesus’ First Coming or at his Second Coming, those who claim to believe in God and his word superficially call out, “Lord, Lord,” and they are using their traditions as a means to practice their authority. Their traditions are like their weapons. In fact, they neither know the Bible, nor do they really understand who they are. If we tell them God’s word of promise, they speak out of their emotions first.
Spiritual Israelites do not realize that they have become corrupt and have fallen from heaven. They do not know that God left them, and how they have added to and subtracted from Revelation. In addition, they do not realize that they are not qualified to enter heaven, and they think of their lies—which are like the wine of adulteries and the diluted water (refer to Is 1:22)—as truth. They do not even know that they are accepting and teaching such lies. God’s word of revelation is nowhere to be found in them. Their instructions are the teachings of men, and they commit sin upon sin. They do not make an effort to receive the revelation from heaven, the water of life as clear as crystal. Having been bound by their personal judgments, they fail to see their own faults and danger, and their thoughts are captured with faults of others.
Spiritual Israelites do not have a heart that seeks to keep the New Testament and enter heaven. They have become rich in their hearts, and they are complacent. On one occasion they manipulated a family member of a Shincheonji member to murder that Shincheonji member just because she refused to convert to their denomination. They fabricate lies every day and spread them to the world by using anti-Shincheonji online cafes. They seem to be fulfilling the duties of the devil on his behalf.
Christians who have stopped attending church say that they stopped attending because the Christian Council of Korea has become too corrupt and they do not want part in the corruption. Is this word not true? How can those who have become part of the world and do not know the word, possibly understand God? How can they possibly know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, which are the words of promise in the New Testament? The scripture, however, makes it very clear that whoever does not understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven in Matthew 13 will become an outsider and will be unable to receive the atonement of sin. How can this word be broken (Jn 10:35)? If someone has faith, he must put his hope in heaven, seek to understand God’s will, and truly pray after knowing the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer. Instead of pursuing the world (the first heaven) that is coming to an end, he must side with the world (the latter and new heaven) that is coming, and he must endeavor to become a new person of the new generation.
Only when the ‘word in the beginning’ dwells in me, God will also reside in me with the word, and he will become my life and light that leads me (Jn 1:1-4). If one has not learned the introductory level of the Zion Theology—the explanations of the parables—and the intermediate level—the words of history, instructions, prophecies, and their fulfillment (physical fulfillment), he will be unable to learn Revelation, which is the advanced level. Even if he learns Revelation, without learning the two previous levels, he will not understand it completely.
In the times of both the Old Testament and the First Coming, believers who adhered to traditions and claimed to believe in God became one with the world, and they murdered the apostles and Jesus by labeling them heretics. Believers today, again, are labeling Shincheonji—the one and only city of truth, the new kingdom that has mastered the Bible and the revealed word—a heresy, by using their wicked traditions. In fact, they became divided and divided again within themselves, and they are disputing one another by calling each other heretics. This has happened because the Lord has removed peace from them. Although they saw how people who were calling Shincheonji a cult were either killed in car accidents, or were stabbed by a knife, or were killed by lightning, lies never depart from the lips of those who contain the spirits of demons.
Shincheonji’s speedy growth is also the fulfillment of God’s word when he said this is the work that must soon take place (Rv 1:1). Just like at the time of Jesus’ First Coming when the Old Testament was fulfilled, the words promised in the New Testament have also been fulfilled today (Rv 21:6) Do you believe in John 14:29? Not believing in that scripture is almost habitual and hereditary, but it leads to greatly negative consequences.
To the believers who have come to Shincheonji, let us not be like the fish (bad fish) that were once caught in the net but were thrown back to the sea just as portrayed in Matthew 13. I pray in the Lord that all of you become good fish who can enter into your hope.
