The Promised Revealed Word of God
The Word of promise from the Creator of heaven and earth (the words of the Old and New Testaments) is true. It is also the secret of what God will fulfil in the future. Therefore, many parts were written in parables and figurative language, making it difficult for people to understand even when they see it. Although the New Testament Revelation was recorded around 2,000 years ago, no believer until today has understood its meaning or physical fulfilment. This is because God concealed it with parables and figurative language.
Just as no one knew the actual fulfilment of the Old Testament prophecies until Jesus came and fulfilled them at the First Coming, the same was true for the New Testament Revelation. The reason for concealing it in this way was to keep it hidden from the enemy, as written in Matthew 13. Thus, the book of Revelation, which God promised, was sealed with seven seals until the time of its fulfilment. This is why no one has known the meaning or the physical entities of Revelation until today.
People do not truly understand God’s will, the Bible, or even themselves. A corrupt person cannot even fully believe in themselves and does not believe in God’s will or the Bible. For about 2,000 years, no one has known or believed in the New Testament Revelation. However, now that the time has come, God has fulfilled the ‘New Testament Revelation’ through Jesus, and the realities of the hidden secrets in parables have been revealed. But how can these corrupt people see, hear, and understand them at this time? Because they do not know the will of heaven or the realities, they cannot believe in it. However, God said that when He fulfils the prophecies He promised, people will come to know His will and the realities through the person who sees, hears, and testifies to the events at the actual scene (as in Rev 22:8, 16). The word testified by this person (the promised pastor) is the revealed word of God that was promised.
Earthly pastors do not know the New Testament Revelation, yet they add to and take away from it, hiding and concealing it. This seems to be because they want to protect their reputation, are afraid to reveal their ignorance, and are afraid that their false testimonies will be exposed.
Today, after about 2,000 years, the New Testament Revelation that God promised has been fulfilled. Jesus fulfilled Revelation and showed it to and made it known to one chosen pastor (refer to Rev 1) and commanded him to deliver what he saw and heard to the churches (Rev 22:8, 16). Thus, the promised pastor of Shincheonji is testifying to the churches what he saw and heard at the site of Revelation’s fulfilment. Those who hear, understand, and believe in the revealed word testified by the promised pastor—without adding or subtracting—will enter the kingdom of heaven (refer to Rev 22:18–19). Amen.
This testimony connects the Bible, God’s promises, and the fulfillment today so clearly. It makes me want to study Revelation more deeply and see for myself.
ReplyDeleteYet another bold and thought-provoking message that challenges me to reflect deeply on the fulfilment of biblical prophecy. #ShincheonjiChurch
