Revelation 21
New Heaven New Earth,
Shincheonji Promised
in the Bible
※ A translation of 'New Heaven New Earth' would be ‘Shincheonji’ in Korean.
After the first heaven, the first earth and the sea cease to exist, the holy city New Jerusalem descends from the spiritual world to exit among men. When this happens there is no longer any death tears mourning or pain and all things are renewed. God, who will certainly complete all his work takes the one who overcomes as his son and gives him all things as an inheritance. All unbelievers and liars, who are unsuitable for kingdom of God, will be thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur forever.
In Revelation 21, the former heaven, the churches of tradition(the first heaven and first earth, Revelation 13) end and disappear and the era of the New Heaven and Earth (Shincheonji) begins as the new heaven and the new earth is created. At this time, just as everything was fulfilled(Jn 19:30) at the time of Jesus, everything that was prophesied in the New Testament is fulfilled(Rev 21:6).
The New Heaven and New Earth
The new heaven and new earth represent the city of the millennium, the 12 tribes of New Spiritual Israel, which are being created today through the harvest of grain like believers. This is where the holy city New Jerusalem descends and resides. Physical Israel came to an end at Jesus' first coming roughly 2,000 years ago. That was when Spiritual Israel- the Christian world - was created. This world too, however must come to an end at the time of Revelation's fulfillment. Now New Spiritual Israel's city of the millennium is created as God's Spiritual Israel's city of the millennium is created as God's kingdom and people. This is where those who participate in the first resurrection gather to live. No one who reads this book should be like Lot's wife, who tried to return to the previous world that was judged. May all believers find the shelter of salvation- Shinchoenji
In Rev 21:5, God renews all things and gives the water of life free of charge to those who are thirsty. The one who overcomes becomes a son who receives God\s inheritance(Rev 21:5-7).
God is restoring all things to their original state of creation because Satan perverted the creation to follow his thoughts; he twisted it until it was made in his own image. This work of restoration is the fulfillment of all the prophecies in the Old and New Testaments. It is the completion of the 6,000-year work of recovery that God began after Adam's fall (Alpha and Omega: the beginning and the end). The water from the spring of life, which God provides free of cost, refers to the word that comes from the throne of God and Jesus (Jn 4:14; Rev 22:1). Since the holy city New Jerusalem descends upon the new heaven and new earth, Shincheonji itself becomes the holy city - the same holy city that is mentioned in Rev 22:19.
At this time, one of the seven angels who had one of the seven bowls (Rev15:7) told John, "I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." The angel took John away in the spirit to a huge, majestic mountain and showed him the holy city New Jerusalem (Rev 21:9-10).
The angel took John away in the spirit once before when he took him to a desert to show John wrote that would come upon the great prostitute(Rev 17:1-3). John wrote that the city of New Jerusalem descending from heaven looked like a bride adorned for her husband (Rev 21:2).
Why is New Jerusalem described as the bride of the Lamb? The reason for this is that New Jerusalem is built with the spiritual brides of Jesus, the spirits of his disciples. Jesus, who is the groom, gave the seed of the word to his disciples and appointed them to evangelize. This is like a physical bride that gives birth to her groom's children and raises them. This is what the disciples played the role of Jesus' spiritual brides. This can be easily understood though the words of Paul, who wrote, "I am again undergoing birth pains," (Gal 4:19). The names of the twelve disciples, who helped Jesus as his spiritual brides, are written on the twelve foundations of the holy city (Rev 21:14). Moreover, Apostle Paul described Jesus, who gave birth to twelve sons through the spiritual seed he received from God, as "Jerusalem above, that is to say, our mother," (Gal 4:26).
The holy city is laid out as a square; its length, width, and height are each 12,000 stadia. Its wall measures 144 cubits, and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass (Rev 21:16-18). The twelve gates are twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl (Rev 21:21). This means that the twelve apostles, who act as the gates of the holy city, all possess the same truth.
Since God and the Lamb are its temple, there is no need for a separate temple in the city. Also, because the glory of God shines upon all the nations and the Lamb is its lamp, there is no need for the sun or the moon to shine. There is no night in the city, and so its gates will never be closed. Everyone will bring honor and glory into the city (Rev 21:22-26). The sun and moon in this passage refer to pastors and evangelists. The night refers to darkened spirits. Because God and Jesus are the pastors of light in this city, there is no need for any other pastors to exist. In addition, only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life are able to enter this holy city (Rv 21:27).
Now, what God will accomplish, the Bible in Revelation 21:1-6.
The new heaven and new earth represent the city of the millennium, the twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel, which are being crated today through the harvest of grain-like believers, This is where the holy city New Jerusalem descends and resides. Physical Israel came to an end at Jesus' first coming roughly 2,000 years ago. That was when Spiritual Israel-the Christian world-was of Revelation's fulfillment. Now, New Spiritual Israel's city of the millennium is created as God's kingdom and people. This is where those who paticipate in the first resurrection gather to live. No one who reads this book should be like Lot's wife, who tried to return to the previous world that was judged. Please look for Shincheonji, the place of salvation.
1. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
2. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
4. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5. He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
6. He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
