The Difference Between the Land of Canaan and the City of New Jerusalem

The Difference Between the Land of Canaan and the City of New Jerusalem




Physical ​​Israel’s ​hope ​was ​to ​leave Egypt and enter ​the land of ​Canaan, and Spiritual ​Israel’s hope ​is ​to leave ​the kingdom of the world ​and enter the ​kingdom ​of ​heaven ​​(the ​city ​of ​New ​Jerusalem). This is the ​hope of Physical ​Israel and the ​hope of ​Spiritual ​Israel, and ​this is God’s promise.


There ​are two kinds ​of ​kingdom ​of ​​heaven: ​one ​is ​the ​kingdom of heaven in ​the spiritual world, ​and the other ​is the ​kingdom ​of heaven ​in the physical world. The ​kingdom of heaven ​in ​the ​spiritual ​​world ​is ​the ​world ​of spirit, and the ​kingdom of heaven ​in the physical ​world is ​the ​world of ​flesh. The kingdom of heaven ​in heaven (the ​spiritual ​world) ​that ​​believers ​desire—the ​city ​of ​New Jerusalem—and God will ​come to the ​kingdom of heaven ​in the ​physical ​world. This ​place is the city of ​New Jerusalem on ​this ​earth.


As ​seen ​​in ​Rv ​19, ​Jesus ​and the kingdom of ​heaven coming to ​and becoming one ​with the ​world ​of flesh ​is the marriage of spirit ​and flesh. Before ​this, ​it ​was ​​the ​world ​of ​the ​devil in which the ​devil and man ​had been living ​together, but ​by ​this world ​of the devil being judged ​and coming to ​an ​end ​in ​​Rv ​18, ​the ​marriage ​of spirit and flesh ​through which the ​saints who believe ​in the ​Lord ​and the ​spirits in heaven become one ​takes place in ​Rv ​19, ​and ​​it ​becomes ​the ​world ​over which the Creator ​reigns. This is ​just like when ​our country ​(Korea) ​became independent ​and was liberated from being ​under gentile rule. ​Until ​now, ​the ​​world ​has ​been ​under ​the rule of Satan, ​but now the ​Creator will rule. ​This is ​God’s ​victory.


As ​seen in Genesis, God told ​man, which He ​made, ​to ​be ​​fruitful, ​increase ​in ​number, ​fill the earth, subdue ​the earth, and ​rule over it. ​This is ​the ​blessing God ​gave, and those who belonged ​to God had ​ruled ​over ​the ​​world. ​The ​Lord ​who ​created heaven and earth ​is God, and ​the devil is ​one who ​betrayed ​God and ​deceived the man of God, ​Adam, to take ​possession ​of ​all ​​creation ​for ​himself. ​Due ​to this event of ​betrayal, God has ​been gone from ​the world ​for ​6,000 years. ​Therefore, God has been at ​war with the ​devil ​for ​6,000 ​​years ​until ​today ​in ​order to take back ​what is His. ​The 66 books ​of the ​Bible ​are what ​made this fact known to ​people.


The war ​in ​Revelation ​is ​​God’s ​last ​war. ​In ​this Revelation, the great ​war between the ​spirit and flesh ​who belong ​to ​God and ​the spirit and flesh who ​belong to the ​devil ​is ​recorded. ​​At ​this ​time, ​[God’s ​will] being fulfilled on ​this earth exactly ​as it has ​been fulfilled ​in ​heaven takes ​place as a result of ​those who belong ​to ​God ​being ​​victorious. ​Let ​us ​unite ​in heart and mind ​(as one) for ​the achievement of ​this objective ​(goal) ​of God.


Those ​who belong to God on ​this earth are ​the ​new ​kingdom ​​and ​new ​people ​promised ​in the Bible, and ​those who belong ​to the devil ​are the ​enemies ​spoken of ​in the New Testament Bible. ​One must distinguish ​them. ​The ​people ​​in ​these ​two ​organizations ​(affiliations) appeared among those ​who believe in ​God at both ​the time ​of ​Jesus’ first ​coming and the time of ​his second coming. ​The ​New ​Testament ​​Bible ​testifies ​about ​this. ​Today, the Christians who ​belong to Satan ​instead called the ​pastor God ​sent ​heresy and ​persecuted him. However, due to ​the child born ​from ​the ​woman ​​clothed ​in ​the ​sun ​(the promised pastor) and ​his brothers fighting ​and overcoming the ​dragon’s group ​in ​chapter 12 ​of the New Covenant Revelation, ​only then did ​God’s ​kingdom ​come ​​to ​be, ​did ​salvation ​come to be, and ​was Satan, that ​is, the dragon, ​who had ​invaded ​the heaven ​tabernacle in Rv 2, kicked ​out. The place ​where ​the ​overcomers ​​in ​Rv ​12 ​gathered ​is the temple of ​the tabernacle of ​the testimony in ​Rv 15, ​and ​because God ​is with this place, God ​and the word ​come ​out ​of ​​this ​place, ​and ​the ​events of Revelation are ​also testified here. ​God described in ​this much ​detail ​in Rv ​12 and 15 the place ​with which He ​is. ​


Even ​so, ​​like ​the ​words ​of ​Jn 8, one having ​nothing to do ​with the word ​of promise, ​turning ​away from ​God’s word, and opposing is ​the proof that ​he ​belongs ​to ​​the ​devil. ​Hence, ​today, ​Shincheonji has suggested to ​the pastors of ​this world to ​determine who ​is ​true by ​taking a 100-question test on ​the New Covenant ​Revelation ​together ​before ​​the ​public. ​However, ​no ​matter how many years ​have passed, not ​a single person ​has accepted. ​If ​that is ​the case, then shouldn’t they ​not persecute?


God’s ​true ​word ​comes ​​out ​of ​the ​place ​where God and Jesus ​are. Those who ​have taught the ​saints this ​revealed ​word that ​cannot be added to or ​subtracted from, that ​is, ​the ​true ​​meanings ​of ​the ​prophecies ​of Revelation and their ​fulfillment, after adding ​to and subtracting ​from it ​are ​those who ​do not have the qualifications ​to be pastors ​of ​God. ​Then, ​​they ​would ​need ​to ​visit and learn from ​the place that ​testifies this revealed ​word and ​even ​this word’s ​fulfilled realities so as to ​make it known ​to ​the ​saints ​​without ​adding ​or ​subtracting. ​God gave this word ​of testimony to ​the promised pastor ​in order ​for ​him to ​go to the churches and ​testify about this ​revealed ​word ​and ​​that ​which ​he ​has ​seen and heard (Rv ​22:8, 16). This ​is the will ​[God] intended ​to ​fulfill in ​Revelation. If one has added ​to and subtracted ​from ​Revelation, ​then ​​he ​will ​need ​to ​acknowledge [that] honestly, go ​to and learn ​from the place ​that masters ​Revelation, ​teach his ​saints, and have his saints ​see and believe ​that ​the ​true ​​God ​is ​alive ​and ​[see and believe] the ​fulfilled realities He ​fulfilled.


As seen in ​Rv 21, ​the ​first heaven ​and first earth pass away ​like in Rv ​6 ​and ​a ​​new ​heaven ​and ​new ​earth are created like ​in Rv 7 ​and 14. The ​kingdom of ​heaven ​in the ​spiritual world (the city of ​New Jerusalem) and ​God ​come ​to ​​this ​place. ​This ​place ​is the city of ​New Jerusalem that ​is fulfilled on ​this earth. ​Today, ​believers will ​need to go to this ​place to live. ​This ​is ​the ​​action ​of ​those ​who ​believe in the new ​covenant. Obey.

The Two Kinds of Spirits (Gods) Seen in the Bible and Those Born of Their Seeds

The Two Kinds of Spirits (Gods) Seen in the Bible and Those Born of Their Seeds As ​​seen ​in ​the ​Bible, ​there is the spirit ​of God the ​Creator, and there ​is the ​spirit ​of the ​devil, who betrayed. The spirit ​of God has ​the ​power ​of ​​creation, ​and ​the ​spirit ​of the devil has ​the power of ​persecution and ridicule. ​ These two ​spirits ​(gods) have ​been fighting for approximately 6,000 ​years with their ​powers ​and ​might. ​​This ​has ​come ​to ​be known by seeing ​each era in ​Biblical history. However, ​the devil ​of ​the world ​has not yet been brought ​to an end. ​Hence, ​the ​authority ​​of ​death ​has ​been ​reigning in the world ​until now. ​ The war in ​Revelation is ​the ​last war ​between God and the devil. ​Who will win ​in ​this ​war? ​​Both ​God ​and ​the ​devil are fighting desperately ​through people. This ​war is not ​a physical ​war, ​but it ​is a spiritual war, and ​it is a ​war ​of ​word ​​of ​testimony. ​The ​number ​of the people who ​belong to

The Blood and Flesh of the Lamb on Passover Night

The Blood and Flesh of the Lamb on Passover Night   On the Passover night during Moses' time, those who ate the flesh of the lamb and put its blood on their doorframes were saved. However, those who did not eat the flesh of the lamb and put its blood on their doorframes had angels enter their homes, killing the firstborn of both people and animals (Exodus 12). In his first coming, Jesus declared that he was the living bread that came down from heaven and that those who eat his flesh and drink his blood will have eternal life (John 6). This was likening himself to the Passover lamb, calling his words of life the blood and flesh of the lamb. Furthermore, on the Passover night, Jesus established the new covenant, saying, “I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes” (Luke 22:14-20). Do you understand the meaning of these words and the kingdom of God? Not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord,” will be saved, but only those who do the will of the Fathe
