[2025-09-22] The Meaning of Israel and the People of Israel

[2025-09-22] The Meaning of Israel and the People of Israel Israel means “overcome” (Gn 32:28). The Jews became Israel (Physical Israel) by overcoming. Therefore, if the people of Israel lose in their fight against the enemy, they are no longer Israel. At the time of the First Coming, Jesus said that he had overcome the world (Jn 16:33). Therefore, Christianity is Israel (Spiritual Israel), and Christians are the people of Spiritual Israel. Also, in the New Testament Revelation, Jesus repeatedly urged us to “overcome.” With what do we overcome? We overcome with the truth (refer to Rv 12:10–11). Therefore, Shincheonji has become God's new kingdom (New Spiritual Israel, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony) and new people (people of New Spiritual Israel) in this era of the Revelation's fulfillment by overcoming again and again through the truth (the revealed Word). Today, Shincheonji, which began with the promised pastor alone, has become a c...

[25-09-10] Those Who Do Not Believe in or Add to and Subtract From The Book of Revelation Will Face Hell(Rv 22:18-19)

[25-09-10] Those Who Do Not Believe in or Add to and Subtract From The Book of Revelation Will Face Hell(Rv 22:18-19) 1. I Was Born in a Poor Rural Family Jesus, who grew up in the village of Nazareth, a poor neighborhood, came as the Savior(the Messiah). He received and ‘ate’ the scroll of the unfolded Old Testament and came to Israel to preach it(see Mt 1, Ez 3, Mt 15:24), yet the people did not believe Him, calling Him a heretic and a devil, and ultimately killed Him. Similarly, during the time of fulfillment of New Testament Revelation, the promised pastor, new John, received the scroll in Rv 10 and came to deliver to the churches what he had seen and heard(Rv 22:8, 16). However, the pastors and believers of both the Catholic and Protestant churches did not believe him and, like in Rv 11, killed him(spiritually killed). Yet, just as Jesus rose again at his first coming(see Mt 28), new John also rose again at Jesus’ second coming(Rv 11:11-12). Just as Jesus was born in the impov...

Creation of the Twelve Tribes in the Old and New Testaments

Creation of the Twelve Tribes in the Old and New Testaments Both the Old and New Testaments have times of prophecy and times of fulfillment. When Jesus came at the First Coming, He said “It is finished” that the Old Testament (Jn 19:30) was fulfilled. Likewise, when He comes again at the Second Coming, He says “It is done” in Rev 21:6 that the New Testament will also be fulfilled. Just as God fulfilled the Old Testament at the First Coming of Jesus, He promised in Rev 21 and 22 that He will fulfill the New Testament in the same way at the time of the Second Coming, which is today. What believers must have faith in is God's promised word (the prophecy in the Bible). And what believers must testify about is the promised word of God, that is, the prophecy and the reality of their fulfillment (Refer Rev 22:8, 16). The main content of the fulfillment of the Old Testament is the creation of the 12 tribes of spiritual Israel. Likewise, the main content of the fulfillment of the New Testam...

Prophecy and Fulfillment in the Religious World

Prophecy and Fulfillment in the Religious World    Both the Old Testament and the New Testament were prophesied by God, and it was also God who fulfilled them. While people claim to believe in the Old and New Testaments, in reality, they do not fully understand their meaning.   As stated in Matthew 13, Jesus spoke (prophesied) the secrets of the kingdom of heaven in parables so that the gentiles would not understand. Jesus grew up in the poor village of Nazareth, but he was the Son of God, born of God’s seed. Since Jesus was born of God’s seed, he was wise like God. At that time, the people of Israel fervently read the Old Testament and claimed to follow its teachings. However, as seen in Matthew 13, their wisdom did not reach the wisdom of God, and they could not recognize or believe in Jesus who came according to the Old Testament. Likewise, in the New Testament, Jesus prophesied and has fulfilled all that he foretold when he returns today; however, just like the people...
