The prophecy and the revelation of the New Testament
God and Jesus chose and showed Apostle John events of the future, and let him write it down. This is the book of Revelation. This book was sealed in the right hand of God. There was no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth who could open or look inside it in. Because the prophecy of Revelation is written figuratively and in parables, before the physical entities appear, everyone is blind. If a blind man (pastor) leads a blind man (congregation member), both will fall into a pit (abyss: hell) (Mt 15:14).
Although 2000 years passed since this book was written, no one has come to know it. Rather, the one who claims to know it before Jesus opens it is a liar, and furthermore, a sinner. Saying that he knows it before it is fulfilled (revealed) is the act of making Jesus and the Bible into liars (it says that before breaking the seals and opening the book, there is no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth who knows it). Now, as the appointed time has come, the book sealed with seven seals in God’s right hand in Revelation 5 was taken by Jesus, who broke the seals one by one (chapters 6, 8) and fulfilled the recorded words. Jesus chose the New John and revealed through the angel what has appeared (fulfilled) as according to the entire book of Revelation (refer to Am 3:7).
This opened book was given to the New John, who was told to eat and speak it (the words of the book and their fulfillment) to the rebellious world of religion (Rv 10). No one knows the true God, Jesus, the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, and the fulfilled physical entities (the revealed physical fulfillment) except those to whom the New John reveals it. Those who don’t know the betrayer, the destroyer, and the savior cannot attain heaven, salvation, and eternal life. For people who are saying, ‘I know; I believe; I am saved,’ ? for these people to attain salvation, they should cast away their pride, come out before this revelation, and be born again with the revealed faith.
The one who opened the sealed book of the Old Testament is God; the one who received and testified to the opened revelation is Jesus. The one who opened the sealed book of the New Testament is Jesus, and the one who has received and is testifying to the opened revelation is the New John. At the First Coming, Jesus came in the name of God (Jn 5:43), and in the New Testament, the New John comes in the name of Jesus (refer to Mt 23:39; Jn 14:26) and testifies the word of God and everything he saw and heard (all of the book of Revelation) for the churches (Rv 1:2). Those who don’t believe this cannot be saved. The kingdom of heaven (the spiritual realm, encompassing God, Jesus, and angels) of the Second Coming is near, so instead of bragging of one’s ecclesiastical authority, power, position, and faith, one must humble themselves and repent. One must then believe the revelation.
Just as at the First Coming, Jesus chose the twelve disciples and preached the revelation, so the New John also has chosen twelve disciples, that is, twelve tribe leaders, and is preaching the revelation. Now it is not about preaching the elementary revelation of the First Coming. It is about the complete revelation of the Second Coming, and it is indeed being preached. Those who see, hear, and believe this shall be saved.
