My Faith and God’s Grace

My Faith and God’s Grace



Our family was poor, so I was unable to receive a proper education. After graduating from elementary school, I went up to Seoul, where my third eldest brother was, and enrolled in Seonghwa Vocational School in Yongsan. However, my studies were interrupted when the Korean War broke out, and I had to flee. At that time, we evacuated to a small village near Namhansanseong, and as the war neared its end, we returned to our rural hometown. It was around this time that I enlisted in the military.


During the Korean War, I served as a frontline combat soldier. Our country was completely unprepared for war when it broke out. We fought on the frontlines, advancing from Geumhwa (Cheorwon). At one point, after going without food for several days, I collapsed in a forested field while advancing. Fortunately, UN forces coming from the second line found me and transported me on a liaison aircraft to Daegu, where I was discharged from service.


After being discharged, I returned to our old home in Seoul, only to find that others were living there. When I asked them to vacate the house, claiming it was ours, they demanded proof of ownership. However, at that time, not only we but also people across the country had lost their property records, including house and farmland deeds, due to the war. With no way to prove ownership, we ultimately lost both of our houses. This was the political and legal reality of the time.


After my discharge from the war, I returned to my rural home and worked as a farmer. Grateful to have survived the deadly frontlines, I would look up at the sky and offer prayers of gratitude to God every evening before bed. Then, one night, while praying, an incredibly bright light, brighter than daylight, shone upon me. Startled, I rushed to wake my father, who was sleeping in a small field hut, and showed him the light. He, too, saw it and was astonished. He said that in the past, when a remarkable figure appeared, a brilliant light would also appear, and that this was a sign that a great person was emerging in our nation. Guided by this light, I made a blood covenant with God and began my faith journey. This was the beginning of my faith.


Later, I was chosen by God and Jesus (Rev 1). What I learned from God and Jesus was primarily the Book of Revelation. Today, Jesus has opened and fulfilled the sealed scroll of Revelation. He gave me the opened book to eat, and with it, I created the Shincheonji saints according to the words of this book. I continually had the saints verify, "Who am I according to the prophecies of the New Testament’s Revelation? Have I been created according to the book of Revelation?" To ensure this, I frequently had them take exams centered on Revelation. "Saints, do not be false in your faith. God is not deceived."


Furthermore, Jesus who gave me the opened book also revealed the realities of the Book of Revelation—the fulfillment of everything from chapter 1 to chapter 22 (Rev 22:8). After showing me all these things, He commanded me to go and testify to the churches (Rev 22:16). I have diligently testified to what I have seen and heard, fulfilling my mission.


As guided by the great light, I have sworn before God to fulfill my duty of testifying to the prophecies and their fulfillment in Revelation. Until the day when Revelation is completely fulfilled and accomplished, I will remain faithful to God. This is my promised faith and my way of repaying God’s grace.

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...
