Main reference: Rv 7
The New Testament is the new covenant Jesus established with his blood (Lk 22:20). The conclusion of the New Testament is the twelve tribes of God’s promised new kingdom. The 144,000 of the twelve tribes are those who are sealed (Rv 5:9-10), and the multitude in white are those whose sins have been washed away by Jesus’ blood (Rv 7:9-14). The sealed 144,000 are the priests (pastors) of God’s new kingdom, and the multitude in white is the new kingdom’s subjects (the congregation members) whose sins have been washed away. They were promised by the Lord with his blood at the First Coming; they are God’s kingdom and priests, and His people.
According to Rv 7:9-14, the great multitude dressed in white, that no one could count from every nation, tribe, people and languages, come out of the great tribulation after the 12,000 from each of the tribes are sealed. What is the reason for this event? The winds that were blown in Rv 6 are held back in Rv 7 while the 144,000 are sealed. The winds stop as promised, but they blow again once all of the 144,000 are sealed—this is why it says that the multitude in white comes out of the great tribulation.
The winds that were blown in Rv 6 were plagues given to the chosen people who betrayed, but the winds in Rv 7 are blown on every nation, tribe, people and languages, which means that they are blown on the churches of the whole world. The judgment (the wind) in Rv 6 takes place after they were urged to repent in chapters 2 and 3, and the winds in Rv 7 are blown on the people who did not repent and obey despite the fact that the fulfillment of Revelation was made known to them first. The sins of those who came out of the great tribulation were washed with Jesus’ blood so they could become the multitude in white, and this great tribulation takes place because the messenger of the covenant testifies to the fulfillment of Revelation to the whole world; the multitude in white comes out of this tribulation.
The events of the end of the age written in the Book of Revelation was originally preached in the nations of the West, Europe, and eventually came to the East, the ends of the earth (the energy of the West coming to the East). The gospel of heaven comes to an end because it was preached to the ends of the earth as promised (Ref: Mt 24:14), and the twelve tribes of the new kingdom of the latter-heaven is created by harvesting and sealing after the end of the previous-heaven.
Then, Jesus who fulfilled the New Testament (Revelation) sent his messenger to the churches to testify (to the revealed word of reality, the fulfillment of Revelation). The messenger who speaks on Jesus’ behalf saw and heard the events of Revelation’s fulfillment where these events took place. The work of harvesting and sealing began as he received and ate the revealed scroll, and he went around the whole world, starting from Europe, the nations of the West, for all the peoples of the world who had been waiting for the fulfillment of the New Testament; this is the “fulfillment of the East traveling to the West,” and through this, he made known the fulfillment of the New Testament to the whole world as described in Rv 2 and 3.
Those who believe and repent will come, but those who do not believe will not come. As promised, the four living creatures of Rv 6 release the strong winds to the whole world as the news of the New Testament’s fulfillment is made known and as many believers hear and know it. Those who perceive and come at this time are the multitude in white.
Events of betrayal, destruction, and salvation occurred at the time of Jesus’ First Coming. The betrayer was Jerusalem, the destroyers were the Pharisees, the snakes (Mt 23:33), and the savior was Jesus. The events of betrayal, destruction, and salvation also took place in today’s era in the same way, and the global harvest, the multitude in white, will come from all the nations of the world at the time of salvation. The pastors of the world are streaming to Shincheonji in Korea at this moment. They will learn the facts of the fulfillment of the New Testament and go back to blow the trumpet and cry out to the world of Christianity. As in the time of the First Coming, there will be clashes between those who believe and those who do not believe in this era (the time of the Second Coming), and there will be religious tribulation because of it. Just as there was an uproar among the established churches in Korea when Shincheonji began, the same thing will happen wherever this Word is preached. But the words of promise continue to be fulfilled. This is how the world will be conquered, and this is how God will take back the world that He lost and reign for the first time in 6,000 years.
As the the dragon is seized and the wedding banquet of the Lamb takes place (Rv 20:1-6), the First Resurrection beings, religious wars come to an end, and the world’s peace and rest come. As these events draw nearer to us, we must make a new turn in our hearts to hold the hands of the Lord and run, again and again. Let us become the light of the City of Truth, and the chosen people who are righteous and just.
Who acted as the master and controlled the world for the past, long 6,000 years? Satan was acting like the master, as God the Creator became a wanderer to His own creation. The family of Satan, not God, received all creation as their inheritance and had been living as such. People’s words, ideologies, histories, habits, actions, and sinful genes all belonged to Satan. What in the world took after God? People did not know about the Lord of Creation or Satan. They only knew how to live in such a way, as they had become accustomed to the world of Satan throughout the years. They lived without even knowing what truly was sin or righteousness. But people came to know who God is through religion, and came to know the history, moral teaching, prophecies, and fulfillment of the Bible, and who the true master of the world is.
Satan has been reigning over the earth for the past 6,000 years, and has been ruling and controlling over it; he was the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the one with the authority of the world. He was the seal of perfection in Eden and was full of wisdom, covered with every precious stone (Eze 28, NKJV). Jesus and the Promised Pastor of the New Testament must fight and overcome this Satan to take back from him what belongs to God.
Today, they overcame in the heavens (the spiritual realm) and the earth (the physical realm), and starting now come God’s kingdom, salvation, and authority (Rv 12). And it is written that the one who overcomes will receive the promises of Rv 2 and 3. The one who overcomes receives the food for eternal life (the hidden manna), the authority to judge (the white stone), and the authority to rule over all nations (the iron scepter). He heals all nations as God, heaven, and Jesus come down on him, and rules over all nations as he sits with Jesus on his throne.
This is the day of Shincheonji. Father God, thank you. Please reign on the heavens and the earth.
Amen! Hallelujah!
