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.

The life of faith and the end of the age

Is the scriptural “the end of the age” the end of religion or the end of all humanity?

The end of the age is the end of believers. The world-wide end will occur one thousand years after Jesus returns. Even as this world-wide end takes place, however, true believers will remain and will receive blessings – this is what the Bible testifies (Rev 20). What has Jesus told Christians about the generations to come?

I’d like to ask some questions to people who are confident in their biblical knowledge, people who claim to be orthodox, and people who claim to have already been saved and to have already received the holy spirit. Please answer the following questions:

•     Who persecuted and killed the Old Testament prophets God sent to his people? Why did they kill the prophets? (Mt 23:34-35)

•     Jesus was the son of God. God was dwelling within him. Who persecuted and killed Jesus and his disciples? (Mt 27; Ac 7)

•     Who killed the two witnesses who stand before the Lord of the earth at the second coming? (Rev 11:1-10)

•     Who destroyed the temple of Jerusalem? (Mt 24:1-29)

•     Who defeated the congregation members of the Tabernacle Temple (heaven), forcing them to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead? (Rev 13)

•     Who are the kings of the earth that have committed sexual immorality with the prostitute? Who are the inhabitants of the earth that have became drunk with the wine of her adulteries? (Rev 17:1-5)

•     What does “the maddening wine of adultery” represent? What are the boundaries of all the nations that have fallen? (Rev 18:2-3)

•     What are the goods of Babylon by which its merchants grew rich? (Rev 18:3)

•     Who are the people that became rich through these Babylonian goods: who are the captains of the ships, the sailors, and all who make their living from the sea? (Rev 18:15-19)

•     Who are the people from the deceived nations that marry the devil? When and where does this marriage take place? (Rev 18:23)

•     Babylon refers to the seven heads and the beast with ten horns. The seven heads are seven mountains and seven kings, and the ten horns are ten kings (Rev 17:7-12). No one who receives their mark can go to heaven. When and where does this group of the beast appear and who are they? (Rev 14:9-11)

Jesus asked, “When the son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (Lk 18:8). If this is the case, how can people claim, “We are living at the end of the age. We are orthodox. We have been already saved and have received the holy spirit,”? If they really have received the holy spirit, why do they not understand the meaning of the scriptures? Does the holy spirit not master even the deepest things of God (1Co 2:16)?

•     According to Jesus’ words in Rev 12, it is only when God’s people fight against and defeat the group of the dragon that God’s salvation, kingdom, power, and authority can finally come. When is this time?

•     It is only after the sun and moon go dark, after the stars fall from the sky, that the 144,000 of the 12 tribes and the great multitude in white robes appear (Rev 6-7). Can people obtain salvation without belonging to these 12 tribes? Is it even relevant to call someone orthodox – to say that they have already obtained salvation and received the holy spirit – before the 12 tribes are established?

•     Anyone who yearns for salvation must ask such questions. Rev 16 declares that evil spirits that look like frogs come out of false prophets. These evil spirits gather all the kings of the earth to battle against God and his people. Who are these kings that belong to the evil spirits? (Rev 16:13-16)

It was and is the pastors or religious leaders of each generation who killed the prophets of the Old Testament whom God sent. They killed Jesus and his disciples. They killed God’s chosen people – the people who participate in the events of Revelation – and the two witnesses at the second coming (Ac 7:51-54; Lk 20:9-19; Rev 11). Let us humble ourselves rather than trying to lift ourselves up higher. Let us also repent and believe the word with obedience.

Believers of the end of the age must seek the 12 tribes (Rev 7) and the one pastor who receives the scroll from heaven (Rev 10). They must seek the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony because it is the place at which those who overcome gather and the place to which all nations must come and worship (Rev 15). Just as it has been throughout the last 6,000 years of biblical history, people can escape from death and achieve life only when they find the place where the Bible has been mastered, which is also the place that is the most severely persecuted.
