What are the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji?

 

Jesus taught us to pray the Lord’s prayer which is all about how we should pray for God’s kingdom and will is to be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matt 7:9-13). Therefore, through this prayer we can see that the establishment of God’s Kingdom on the earth is His objective and will.

 

God’s kingdom is called Israel and appears throughout the bible in 3 main era’s. It begins with God choosing one Pastor, giving that Pastor a covenant, and telling that Pastor to rule over his people (12 tribes) with that covenant. This Pastor and 12 tribes of Israel are God’s Kingdom.

 

I will explain to you about God’s kingdom that has appeared in each era:

 

You may already know well that in Genesis 32 Jacob wrestled with God and he did not give up. He received God’s blessings because he overcame and also he was renamed Israel because of this. Jacob, his wives and his 12 sons were named by God as the Israelites.

 

🔹Physical Israel

The one who overcomes (Israel): Jacob

12 Tribes of God’s kingdom: 12 sons of Jacob (whose names were the names of the 12 tribes of Physical Israel that Moses governed over)

Covenant: The Israelites were to keep God’s law, Ex 19:5-6

Result: The Physical Israelites broke God’s covenant, God’s kingdom was divided and scattered (1 Kings 11:9-11, Hos 6:7)

 

The work of Jesus at his 1st coming, was to re-establish this kingdom (Matt 4:17). Jesus said in John 16:33 that he has overcome the world showing himself to be the new Israel. He was not born of the seed of the physical Israelites, but the seed of God (Matt 1:20-22), therefore Jesus was Spiritual Israel, and his followers were the Spiritual Israelites. With Jesus 12 disciples, he was trying to create the 12 tribes of God’s kingdom again.

 

🔹Spiritual Israel

The one who overcomes (Israel): Jesus

12 Tribes of God’s kingdom: 12 disciples à who spread the gospel in 12 different directions

Covenant: The believers were to accept Jesus as God’s son, and have hope in his 2nd coming (John 3:16, Matt 24)

Result: The Spiritual Israelites broke God’s covenant, God’s kingdom was divided and scattered (2 Tim 4:3-4, Rev 18:2-3)

 

The work of Jesus at his 2nd coming is to establish again a new kingdom for God that will endure forever. It will not be like the kingdom and people before who did not keep God’s covenant, but it will be the kingdom and people who all overcome and receive God’s eternal blessings. God’s will and objective of his kingdom on earth only fulfils at the time of Revelation.

 

In Rev 2-3 it talks about “the one who overcomes” who receives the 12 blessings of God, including the hidden manna (secrets of the kingdom of heaven), white stone (authority to judge), and iron scepter (authority to rule). It also says that this person will be the pillar in the temple of God, and have God, Jesus and Heaven’s name written on him (Rev 3:12). Through “the one who overcomes” who is Jesus’ messenger (Rev 22:8,16) is the one who the New Spiritual Israel is created through, and through whom God’s eternal kingdom of 12 tribes is established.

 

🔹New Spiritual Israel

The one who overcomes (Israel): "New John" --> Lee Man-Hee

12 Tribes of God’s kingdom: 12 Tribes of Shincheonji (New Heaven, New Earth) (144,000 and the great multitude in white)

Covenant: Heb 8:10-12, Rev 1-22

Result: Rev 7, Rev 21:3-5 God’s objective and will is accomplished on earth as it is in Heaven, therefore Heaven can come down to the earth and God and eternal life can reign again!

 




It is my hearts delight and honour to be a part of Shincheonji’s 12 tribes. I know that God has promised and desired this as his kingdom of heaven as the pattern of his work throughout the bible is so clear. I have all my hope and faith in the eternal life that is promised to those who have come here, kept the covenant and believe.

    Thank you, Christine. It's amazing to think that there is hope of God coming back. He left in Gen 6:3 and returns in Rev 21:3. God bless.

The passionate heart of Shincheonji’s youth to save lives through blood donation campaigns

Image
'We Are One', the youth volunteer group from Shincheonji Church of Jesus, is one of the largest youth organisations in the world with 90,000 domestic and foreign youth members (70,000 in South Korea and 20,000 overseas) across 12 branches in South Korea and 75 countries including the US and UK.  Due to receiving the blood of Jesus, “We are One” are passionately participating in regular blood donations in order to save lives too. The regular blood donation drives began to raise awareness of the importance of blood donation in order to overcome the blood shortage caused by COVID-19. According to the Global Status Report on Blood Safety and Availability published by the WHO in June 2022, shortages of blood have impacted all countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, in January 2022, the American Red Cross announced that the US is facing a national blood crisis – its worst blood shortage in over a decade. A total of 73,807 from the “We Are One” youth group donated blood for 85 d

What does it take to know Revelation?

Image
Revelation is a book that many avoid, or, many make up their own thoughts about. There are also many conspiracy theories spoken about too.  Why?  Revelation’s meaning is hidden in parables! It’s meaning is actually literally unknown! In the Bible Jesus explains that there is a time when Revelation will not be understood by anyone in all of heaven and earth – hence why there are so many different thoughts/theories/assumptions/fears (Rev 5:3). At the appointed time when Revelation fulfills, Jesus said there will be a way that one can know the meaning of the parables plainly – that there will be one true testimony of Revelation available that will help believers know the truth! (Rev 1:1-3). At the time of Revelation, Jesus returns, fulfills what is prophesied and creates the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth. But those who do not believe in the reality of what he prophesied will not be able to enter this Kingdom (Rev 22:18-19). Therefore it is important to know and understand the prophecies
