Shincheonji Bible Study, the secrets of the kingdom of heaven


Shincheonji Bible Study, the secrets of the kingdom of heaven


Do you know what the Top-Secret throughout the whole biblical history might be?


Can you even imagine? If you don't know of it, you won't be able to belong to 'you' who Jesus has given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 13:11)


The secrets of the kingdom of heaven is those about God and His kingdom. The word of 'secret' is recorded 38 times in the Bible (38 chapters, 46 verses). Why did the kingdom of heaven have to be the Top-Secret throughout the whole biblical history? There were some inexpressible reasons that God had to keep it secret in parables.


However, in ps 78:2~3, God prophesied through prophet saying, 'I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old--what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us.' And the prophecy had been fulfilled on Jesus' 1st Coming, as in Mt 13:34~5, 'Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: 'I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.' 

Yet not all of Jesus' words were the secrets but only the one about the kingdom of heaven was. And a time will come that we all know plainly about God and his kingdom as it is said in Jn 16:25, 'Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use thus kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.'


Therefore we have to know the hidden secrets of kingdom of heaven in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Otherwise we won't be able to enter the kingdom of heaven but will fall into the hell instead. So it is such a important matter for us to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. 


In Mt 13:11, 'the parables of scattering the seed is the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.' If you want to know about these secrets of the kingdom of heaven, you have to seek and find out where and know who will bring the key to the kingdom of heaven as it is said in Mt 7:7, 'Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.'

Shincheonji Bible Study, What should we do to become the man of God?


Shincheonji Bible Study

What should we do to become the man of God?




We should become continue in what we have learned and have convinced of, because the holy Scriptures are able to make us wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching , rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Ti 3:14~17)


We should be born of God by the belief that Jesus is the Christ, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. By loving God and carrying out his commands we know that we love the children of God. To obey God's commands is love for God. (1 Jn 5:1~3)


Everyone born of God overcomes the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. (1 Jn 5:3~5)


You, man of God, should pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Ti 6:11~12)

If we can't become the man of God, we have no choice but to become a beast.


A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish. (Ps 49:20)


I am the most ignorant of men; I do not have a man's understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. (Pr 30:2~3)


You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise man and teachers. (Mt 23:33~34)


Hence we should continue to learn in order to know the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he has sent. This is eternal life that Jesus might give to us. (Jn 17:2~3)

Shincheonji Bible Study; What is our duty as man in God's view point?


Shincheonji Bible Study


What is our duty as man in God's view point?



Man can be divided into two classes, i.e. one who believes in God and another who doesn't. And also there are 2 kinds of believers, i.e. one who acknowledges God truly and another who doesn't.


Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him.(Hos 6:3)


For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. (Hos 6:6)


As you see, God wants us to acknowledge him.


Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never know you. Away from me, you evildoers!' (Mt. 7:21~23)


As you see, we should do the will of Father who is in heaven.


Then what is the will of God in heaven? What does God want us to do? What is our duty as man in God's view point?


Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. (Ecc. 12:13)


As you see, the whole duty of man is that firstly we should fear God and secondly keep his commandments.




Then what does it mean to  'Fear God'?


1.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. (Ps 111:10) 


The results of 'Fear God and keep his commandments' are to get wisdom and good understanding which bring us eternal praise.


2.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Pr. 1:7)


3.To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. (Pr. 8:13) 

'Evil' means to forsake the Lord our God and have no awe of him. (Jer. 2:19)


'Fear of the Lord' brings wealth and honor and life. (Pr.22:4)


In conclusion, when we fear the Lord our God and keep his commandments, we will receive eternal praise and wealth and honor and life. Amen.

Shincheonji Beliefs ; Truth wins out in the long run.


Shincheonji Beliefs 


Truth wins out in the long run.

Wrong cannot last long.

Right will prevail in the end.

Nothing goes uncorrected for long.

Justice has long arms.


At Jesus' 1st Coming 2,000 years ago, Jesus sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. The owner's servants came to him and said, "Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?" "An enemy did this," he replied. The servants asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull them up?" "No," he answered, "because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn" (Mt 13:24~30)


As you see, the wheat and the weeds have been growing in the same Jesus' Field. Unfortunately the weeds that enemy sowed have overgrown to become like a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. (Rev 18:2) 


Jesus is shouting, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, "I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn." Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. (Rev 18:4~8)


The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immortal, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur, i.e. the second death. (Rev 21:8)


As you see, cowardly unbelieving vile murderers who are practice magic arts are the idolaters and all liars. And their destiny will be put to the fiery lake of burning sulfur eternally. 


Truth wins out in the long run: God wins out demon Satan in the long run.

Wrong cannot last long: Lie cannot last long.

Right will prevail in the end: Justice has long arms.

Nothing goes uncorrected for long: Satan's abusive reign will be corrected and ceased finally.

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.The time is near.

This is Shincheonji Beliefs.
