Shincheonji Bible Study: Prophecy and Fulfillment


 
Shincheonji Bible Study:
Prophecy and Fulfillment
 
 
 
What is the parable that prophesied about the kingdom of heaven and what is its fulfillment?
 
God's word in Psalms 78:2 says, "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old."  Who fulfilled this work? 
Through Jesus, God spoke of the kingdom of heaven in parables; in other words, he fulfilled the prophecy of Psalms 78 (Mt 13:34-35).

The words recorded in the Bible can largely be categorized into four parts, which are history, moral teachings, prophecy, and fulfillment. A prophecy is a promise made between God and man. Even if one keeps the commandments found in history and moral teachings, he would not be able to keep what has been fulfilled if he does not know the meaning of the prophecy (promise). This is why one must know the prophecies and their fulfillment.

God said in Ps 78:2-4, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter hidden things, things from of old,” to tell the next generation. At the appointed time, God came to the true pastor (Jesus) He had promised about and spoke in parables (Mt 13:34-35). After speaking in parables, Jesus said that he will speak plainly about the Father when the time comes (Jn 16:25).

The Old and the New Testaments are different and the levels of their meanings are also different. The fulfillment of the Old Testament was the sowing of the promised seed by Jesus (Jer 31:27, Mt 13:24-25), and the fulfillment of the New Testament is the creation of the new kingdom by harvesting the fruits of the seed that was sown (Mt 13:30, Rv 14:14-16, Rv 7).

The true purpose of God’s work for the past 6,000 years was to fulfill the book of Revelation, His promise. The time of the fulfillment of Revelation is the era of God’s reign as He brings the era of the dragon to its end, and it is the time of the establishment of the new kingdom and new people. This is why it is clearly written that if anyone adds or takes away from Revelation, he will not enter the kingdom of heaven, but will receive curses (plagues) (Rv 22:18-19).
