[shincheonji Introduction] The Promised Pastor

The Promised Pastor

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. (Rev 22:16)

God’s Kingdom

Jesus who Came in the Name of God
2000 years ago, at the time of the first coming, God dwelt within Jesus, who came in the name of God.The Bible states that seeing Jesus was the same as seeing God. (Jn 5:43, 12:44-45, 14:9)

The Counselor who Came in the Name of Jesus
It is written that the Counselor, who comes in the name of Jesus, is the Spirit of Truth (the word) and will teach what Jesus had proclaimed (Jn 14:26, 16:14-15). This counselor is hence, the teach who will protect and teach with grace.

The Promised Pastor whom the Counselor, the Holy Spirit is with
Jesus, whom the Holy Spirit of God was with, was referred to as the one who spoke on behalf of God – the Counselor.
Similarly, the person whom the Counselor (the Holy Spirit that Jesus sent) is with, is the pastor promised in the New Testament and also the one who overcomes. (Rev 2-3, 10)

The Kingdom of God that is Created on this Earth

The Overcomers who fulfills that Promise

Currently, the pastor of Shincheonji Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony is creating God’s kingdom of heaven here on earth, exactly as he witnessed it in heaven.Similar to how Jacab had created the 12 tribes of Israel through his 12 sons (Gn 49), he became the new spiritual Israel who created the 12 tribes which bear 12 crops of fruit every month. This is proof that he is the one who overcomes. (Mt 19:28; Rev 22:1-2)

[Shincheonji] The 12 Tribes of Shincheonji

"Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel." (Rev 7:4)




The Kingdom of God that appeared in each era was the 12 tribes.

 

The Kingdom of God that appeared in each era was the 12 tribes. During the Old Testament times, Jacob was given the name “the one who overcomes,” which translates to ‘Israel,’ and became the father of the physical Israelite’s 12 tribes.
Jesus, who came to the land of Judah, also overcame the world (Jn 16:33; Mt 4; Lk 4) and created the 12 tribes of the spiritual Israel through the 12 disciples. The 12 tribes that appeared in both the Old Testament and the first coming of Jesus, appear again at the second coming – the time of Revelation.
In Relevation 7, it is written that at the time of haRevest, 144,000 people will be haRevested and sealed with the word. The place where these 144,000 people are sealed is Mount Zion of Revelation14, and is referred to as the first fruits (Jas 1:18). This group of people is the 12 tribes created by receiving God’s seal.
God’s new kingdom, the new spiritual Israel, Shincheonji is formed of the 12 tribes. These 12 Tribes of God did not exist prior to today, and it is a new work of creation. It is the one and only kingdom and temple of God on this earth.
The 12 Tribes are established using the names of the 12 tribes of the Old Testament and the names of
Jesus’ disciples. It is said that in the last days, if one does not take part in any of these tribes, one cannot become a part of God’s Kingdom and become His people. Hence, the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji is actively working to announce the kingdom and heal all nations simultaneously.

[Shincheonji] The Emblem of the Throne

"Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. (Rev 3:12)"

The New Jerusalem Emblem

The Shincheonji Throne Emblem is a mark that symbolizes the New Jerusalem that comes from heaven to New Heaven and New Earth Shincheonji as told in Revelation 4 and 21.
This mark, representing that God and His throne have descended from heaven to Shincheonji, is registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) under
 registration number 42-001873.
The two round rings around the mark represent the universe and earth respectively, and the square figure inside the rings symbolizes God’s Holy City, the new Jerusalem. The jasper and ruby like Bible in the center expresses God and His eternal word, and the rainbow
colored ring around the throne represents God’s promise.
The cross that is placed in the center of the city indicates the streets where the water of life, God’s word flows.
12 gates, 3 gates each at 4 corners of the world (Rev 21:12-13), are the gates of the 12 tribes. Furthermore, the trees inside the city represent the 12 tribes of the new Israelites who have received the word of eternal life and bear 12 crops of fruits every month.

[Shincheonji] The Name of the Denomination

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony

“But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.”
(2 Pt 3:13)

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the TestimonyShincheonji is the nation of God, created by Him to fulfill what is in heaven on this earth in today’s time. Furthermore, it is a holy temple where the priests and people of God who will receive salvation within God, the creation that He has been working to gather for 6000 years, belong to. Shincheoji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony strives to heal the nation by following God’s will of testifying the revelation, what the church has heard and witnessed.

Shincheonji
Shincheoji is the abbreviation of ‘New Heaven and New Earth,’ and it signifies the new tabernacle and new saints. (2 Pt 3:13; Mt. 13:31-32; Rev 14:1-5; Rev 15:2-5)
Just as Moses built a tabernacle on earth based on the patterns God had shown him from heaven, the creation of Shincheonji here on earth today is also based on what the Promised Pastor had seen in the spiritual realm. This is God’s Kingdom, which is created here on earth as it is in heaven, and its name is Shincheonji.

Church of Jesus
Church of Jesus means that the Lord of the Temple of Shincheonji is Jesus as it is indicated in its name.

The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony
The Temple of Tabernacle of the Testimony is the temple of those have seen, heard and testify the Revelation.
It is also referring to the holy house where saints worship God. In addition, the Temple of Tabernacle of the Testimony is the promised temple where all nations must come to be healed and worship the Lord. (Rev 15:4-5)

[Shincheonji God's Word] The qualifications for being part of Shincheonji Church of Jesus—the kingdom of God

If you want to be a part of the twelve tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus (SCJ)—God’s kingdom here on Earth—you must be born again by sealing the revealed word of the New Testament in your mind and in your hearts (Jas 1:18, Rv 7:3-4).

First, you must be evangelized with the revealed word and must carefully study the Bible. This step, the elementary level, is compared to drinking milk in Heb 5:13. When you are qualified, you will be given an interview at one of our mission centers. After passing the interview, you will progress through three different levels of Bible study (i.e. elementary, intermediate, and advanced), taking an exam before progressing to the next level. Each level lasts about two months, making the whole course of three levels last roughly six months. After this training course is complete there is a final exam of about 300 questions. You must receive a score of 90% or above to pass.

 Finally, after graduating from the mission center, you must pass a new comer’s training course that lasts between one and two months in order to register as a member of Shincheonji.


Anyone who does not score 90% or above on their final exam must retake the entire course. No one is allowed to advance to the next level without passing this exam. Although anyone can register as a member of regular churches, Shincheonji is very different. Only people who seal (Rv 7:4-8) the word of God in their hearts and minds in fulfillment of the new covenant (Heb 8:10) can be qualified as citizens of heaven. The pastors and congregations of regular churches do not have the word (Am 8:11-13). For this reason, God is re-creating the people of his kingdom with those who are born again.
As stated, Shincheonji graduates have all received 90% or better on a final exam consisting of 300 questions about the Bible. If the chairmen, pastors, theologians, and elders of the world’s denominations were to take this test, however, they would not even be capable of answering 20% of the questions correctly. It may seem outlandish, but this claim has actually been verified. If you think you can get over 90% of these Bible questions correct, please come to take the test. Who, according to the words of the new covenant (Heb 8:10), are true believer from God’s point of view? Without question, God will acknowledge Shincheonji mission center graduates as true believers. Shincheonji people want God more than power or money.
Today, there is so much false information circulating in the Korean Christian world. Everyday, however, there are more and more wise believers coming to learn the revealed word of the Bible in Shincheonji. We are busily holding graduation ceremonies every week. This is evidence that the one true God and his faithful followers are siding with Shincheonji.
