Has Christianity been completed?

2. Incomplete Christianity

1. Jesus received God’s book

 
After Jesus took his cross and was resurrected and taken up to heaven, he received a book from God. (Revelations 5:7) The book was sealed with seven seals not to be looked into by anyone. (Revelations 5:3) Jesus could look into the book because he had accomplished his mission to take the cross. (Revelations 5:5) Therefore we can know he did not look into the book formerly. Jesus was before the Creation, and he also participated in the Creation with God. (John 17:5, 1:3) However God had secrets hidden to Jesus.
 
Jesus said he did not know all of God’s plan. (Matthew 24:36) Nevertheless he thought he would come again back then. (Matthew 24:34) But it’s not accomplished. Jesus has not come yet until now. That’s because God’s will was not so.
 
After Jesus received God’s book, he got to know all of God’s plan. Then he let it be known in the book of Revelation by John the apostle.
 
“The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.” (Revelations 1:1)
 
The revelation of Jesus Christ was what God gave him. That means the book God gave him. The time when Jesus showed the revelations to John the apostle was about 95. In other words, before then Jesus did not let God’s will which he had got to know newly be known.
 

2. Incomplete Christianity

 
Jesus started to preach the gospel in 30 and died in 33. Before Jesus was taken up to heaven, he told his disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4) They were filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost a few days later. (Acts 2:1-4) Then they spread Jesus as the son of God at the risk of their lives. In 30 years were most of the apostles martyred. It is known that Peter the apostle was martyred in 65, and Paul the apostle, 67. Christianity was formed by the preaching of the apostles. Most of the New Testament were written by Jesus’ apostles and Paul the apostle. However they preached Christianity without knowing the content of the book of Revelation.
 
The content of God’s book was not known to Jesus also before he had taken the cross. God gave Jesus the book in his right hand because he wanted to have him accomplish it. God had guided Jesus to take the cross, and afterwards let him know what has to be done after his crucifixion. Therefore if the content of the book of Revelation would not be accomplished, God’s will would not be completed. However the problem is that the content of the book of Revelation is difficult to understand.
 

3. Why is the book of Revelation so difficult?

 
Why did Jesus reveal the content so difficult to be understood? We can know the reason when we get to know God’s ultimate aim. God’s aim is to capture the Devil. (Revelations 20:10) The problem is the Devil also looks at the Bible. Therefore Jesus could not let the content of the book of Revelation be known to anyone. Then is it to be hidden forever? If so, there was no reason Jesus let it be revealed. There will be the time to accomplish the content of Revelations, then someone will come out to achieve it. Then Jesus will let him know the secret and accomplish it. Who is he?
 
In Revelations were the two olive trees prophesied as Jesus’ witnesses. (Revelations 11:3-4) They were also prophesied in the Old Testament. (Zechariah 4:11-14) However Jesus did not know of it. If not so, he would not have said that he would come again while his disciples would be alive. (Matthew 16:28) That’s because the olive trees were decided by God to come out after 2,000 years from the time of Jesus. Jesus got to know it after he had received God’s book. Therefore Jesus showed it to his disciple, John, and let him write it.
 

4. Who is the one who overcomes?

 
Jesus wanted the one who overcomes to come out among the believers. (Revelations 2:7, 11: 17, 26-29, 3:5-6, 12-13, 21-22) The reason Jesus wanted him to come out is to use him as olive tree. The olive trees are two, so the overcomers will be two. We can know this from the promise to the one who overcomes. God promised the inheritance of water of life to the oen who overcomes. (Revelations 21:6-7) And also there are many prophecies about the water of life in the Old Testament. One of them is the prophecy which says living water will flow from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea. (Zechariah 14:7-8) Therefore God’s work which will be done with living water will be twice, so those who have to do the work are two.
 
The necessity of olive tree is referred to the article below.

When will Jesus come again?

The First Resurrection and the Second Death

-
The Bible says there are the First Resurrection and the Second Death. What do these mean?   1. The First Death   At first, the Bible calls the death of flesh “to sleep”.   Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. ( Dan.12:2)   After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."  His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better."  Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. ( John11:11-13)   The death God had said doesn’t mean the death of flesh.  It indicates being forsaken by God.  Adam committed sin and was thrown out by God, which is the First Death.  All his descendants are among the death.  Thus Jesus called people the dead.   Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father.&qu

The Providence of God

-
1. The history of Israel shows God's Providence. 2.  God's Providence consists of 3+4=7. 3.   The 3 means the history of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 4. Abraham is the symbol of God, Isaac Jesus, and Jacob the second olive tree. (John the baptist was the one who prepared the way for Jesus, and the first olive tree is the one who sows seeds for the second. Refer to  The Story of the Three Figures ) 5.  The 4 means the four generations, 400 years, in which the twelve tribes of Israel were raised in Egypt. The 12 comes from 3 times 4. They were God's army who fought against the Canaanites, and the symbol of the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel to fight against the army of the Devil in the future. 6.  Jacob gave births to the 12 sons, which was the symbol for the second olive tree to complete the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel. Each tribe consists of 12,000 and all of them are 144,000. They are God's army, the crop harvested. (Refer to  The Army of Heaven )

The Army of Heaven

-
The book of Revelation shows wars between the army of God and the army of the Devil.  People think commonly the war of Armageddon would be the third World War which will break out in Israel.  However it is symbolic to show a war in the spiritual world.  This war aims to catch the Devil and the Devil is a spirit so the war will be between spirits in spiritual world.  God has been making the army of heaven during 6,000 years.  They have been being made in the Old and New Testament times, 144,000 saints mostly consisted of martyrs.  They will be given the authority to judge after they destroy the Devil, and after the judgment they will be kings to rule the saved from it and priests to serve God.  1. The composition of the army of heaven 2. The millennium 3. 42 months 4. After the 42 months 5. Capture the beast 6. Capture Satan 7. The authority to judge 8. The authority as King and Priest     1.

What God Wants

1. Abraham’s Question and God’s Answer 2. Symbol of 7,000 years’ work, the History of Israel 3. Number of Heaven, 3    a. Abraham and God    b. Isaac and Jesus    c. Jacob and Olive Tree 4. Number of Earth, 4 5. War of Canaan and War of Armageddon   God’s ultimate goal working with mankind is to capture Satan and throw him into the lake of fire. (Revelations 20:10) To achieve his aim God needs army to fight against devils. Most of the members of the army are martyrs produced in the Old and New Testament eras. They are called the wife of the Lamb Jesus, and their names are recorded in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelations 21:9, 27)   God started his work with mankind from Cain and Abel 6,000 years ago, but his people didn’t follow his will. God renewed his work 4,000 years ago choosing Abraham. At that time God had plan to send his son, Jesus, as Abraham’s descendant.   Abraham was called by God in Haran at 75. (Genesis 12:1) God directed him to go to Can

[God's Providence]30. Is the Armageddon War undergone on earth?

-
30. Is the Armageddon War undergone on earth? Last time, I mentioned that the second olive tree is the President of Holy Eden Church, Lee Young-soo. This time, let's talk about the Armageddon war. From now on, let me talk about some misunderstandings of the Bible. Many say the Armageddon war is a third world war that will break out in Israel. But That is a misunderstanding. Armageddon is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew word “Har Megiddo,” or Mount Megiddo. Mount Megiddo is in northern Israel. Since there had been many wars in this place in the past, God symbolically referred to the war with the Devil in the spirit world as the war of Armageddon. The Armageddon War is a war to catch the Devil and throw it into the lake of fire. Since the devil is spirit, this war is a war between spirits. First, three evil spirits will come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, and they will

The Promises given to him who overcomes

-
In the book of Revelation come eight promises for him who overcomes.  The seven of them were given by Jesus and the other one by Jehovah.  Many people think those who have good belief would be the overcomer, but that’s not true.  The reason is those promises are so enormous.  The overcomer will get the authority over nations, and as Jesus is ruling all in heaven on God’s throne together after he had overcome, and the overcomer also will rule all in heaven on Jesus’ throne together.   Jesus tried to find him who would overcome because he wanted to use him as olive tree.  When Jesus was in this world, he didn’t know of olive tree.  After Jesus received God’s book in his right hand he got to know of olive tree.  God already prophesied two olive trees 2500 years ago.  Jesus wanted the overcomer would come out to accomplish the work of olive tree which was predetermined by God.   Let’s look at the promises for the overcomer and find out what he has to do and which rewards he will

The Kingdom of Heaven and Hell

-
Generally Christians think those saved go to the kingdom of heaven after life, and sinners, hell.  But where the dead go is not the kingdom of heaven or hell but Hades.  The kingdom of heaven and hell will be created after judgment.  Let see what Hades, the kingdom of heaven, and hell are.   1. Hades   People mostly confuse hell with Hades.  However Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire which is known as hell, so we can know Hades is not hell.   Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. ( Rev.20:14)   The Greek “Hades” is a translation of the Hebrew “Sheol” and the meaning of it is grave.  After death, flesh goes to grave and spirit is dragged into the spiritual world, Hades.  The Bible says that as Hades follows behind Death.   I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. ( Rev.6:8)   Therefore the dead will come out from Hades after
