(An event in Godkingdom)
Judah say in the Bible『And the angels who
did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home these he
has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great
Day.』(Jude 1:6) and Peter
say in
the Bible『For if
God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held
for judgment.』(2 Peter 2:4)
Prophet Isaiah of the Old Testament said
that『How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning, how art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations. For thou hast said
in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the
stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides
of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the
most High.』(Isaiah
14:12-14)
Lucifer (Greek, Hebrew :Hellel: the name of the
depraved arch-angel) would like to be
God. And deceived other angels. So God put them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment.
In the Garden of Eden, which symbolizes the
kingdom of God, there was the same event that occurred in the kingdom of God. 『"You
will not surely die", the serpent said to the woman. For God knows that
when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing
good and evil. When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food
and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some
and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.』(Genesis3:4-6)
『And the LORD God said
unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat.』(Genesis3:13)
『The events in the Garden of Eden illustrate
the events in the kingdom of God. I do not know whether the events of the
Garden of Eden and the events of the kingdom are the same or a different event.
So the LORD God banished him from
the Garden of Eden.』(Genesis3:23)
(Story of creation of heaven and
earth)
I am curious about the relationship between
man who was banished from the garden of Eden and angels was banished from the
kingdom of God.
Human beings are composed of body and spirit
and soul. Many people think spirit and soul as mind. But there are spirit and
soul. The spirit is that God put in the body, the soul is
formed from the body.
There are three theories about the spirit
God put in the body. First
theory, the spirit was the spirit of the angel who was in the kingdom of God.
The angel sinned and the angel's clothes were stripped off. The naked spirit
was trapped in the body. So everyone is a sinner to God.
Second theory, the spirit was inherited
from the parent. If the spirit is inherited from the parent, sin will also be
inherited. Jesus has no sin because he is the Son of God. If the spirit is
inherited, the sins of the mother of Jesus are also inherited. We can not
explain it in second theory. Today, the church teaches the theory of original
sin that is Inherited from a parent.
Third theory, God puts the spirit when the
body is born. The spirits that are created by God are clean. Man is a sinner
from birth. The spirit came into the body and became dirty in theory,.
Of the three theories, the theory that
explains human sin reasonably is the first theory. The human spirit is the
spirit of a sinned angel. But most churches do not accept this theory. Most
churches believe the creation of the spirit and the theory of original sin that
is inherited from a parent. Many churches simultaneously believe the theory of
inheritance of sin and of the creation of the spirit. If the spirit is
inherited, the sins of the mother of Jesus are also inherited. We can not
explain it in second theory. And the spirits that are created by God are clean.
Man is a sinner from birth. The spirit came into the body and became dirty in theory.
Humans can argue that they have not sinned directly, God put the clean spirit
in body, despite of God knows that human beings is to be sinners when human
being is born. Nevertheless many churches deny the first theory. Many churches insist
that the events in God's kingdom and the garden of Eden are different.
It is not easy to explain the content of
three theories. But if you think in terms of a sinner, the first is the most reasonable.
Human beings are trapped in the prison as the world and humans are dressed as a
body. If anyone analyze the creation of heaven and earth based on the first
theory, It will be a little different with heaven and earth created beautifully. Heaven
means the Kingdom of God, and the earth means the material world. The material
world was created in darkness. because God has blocked the light of the kingdom
of God.『In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth
was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the
Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.』(Genesis1:1-2) This world
is a place like prison. God made the body to put the spirit of sin. The first
human was born in the same place as darkness. But God created the garden of
Eden to restore the kingdom of God. And he moved man to the garden of Eden from
the world.
But humans were tempted by satan's
temptations in the garden of Eden as a many angels had been tempted by satan in
the kingdom of God.『Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the
garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.』 (Genesis3:23) Humans
again entered the world of darkness. The king of this world is satan. satan
said to Jesus the fact as the king of this world.
『And in regard to judgment,
because the prince of this world now stands condemned.』(John 16:11) The devil led
him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the
world.『And
he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it
has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.』(Luke
4:5-6)
This world is a sinful world. This world is
a place full of darkness that satan rules before Jesus comes to this world.
Everyone is trapped in darkness. The prophet Isaiah said that『to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from
prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.』(Isaiah 42:7) Jesus gives
prisoners freedom from prison.
Man was trapped in darkness. So they do not
know about the kingdom of God. It means blindness to the kingdom of God. They
did not know about the kingdom of God, so the spirit died. Jesus came to save the dead spirit. And so it is written,『the
first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit.』(1 Corinthians 15:45)
『But now is Christ risen from
the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came
death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.』(1 Corinthians 15:20-21) Anyone who
has entered into Jesus is raised to the dead spirit. The revived spirit will be
recorded in the book of the kingdom of God although the body is in the world.
If the body dies, the spirit will wear the clothes of the kingdom of God. 『Now
we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building
from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.』(2
Corinthians5:1)
Jesus explains the state of the spirit.『At the resurrection
people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the
angels in heaven.』(Matthew 22:30)
(The kingdom of God and the world)
Many church people say that the garden of
Eden is their home.
So they say that we must restore the garden
of Eden. Human being is not born in the garden of Eden, was born
in this world. The garden
of Eden symbolizes the kingdom of God. The Bible says home is the Kingdom of
God
『Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as
good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand
which is by the sea shore innumerable. These all died in faith, not having
received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of
them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on
the earth for they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a
country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they
came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire
a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be
called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.』(Hebrews11:13-16)
People try to understand the kingdom of God
as a concept of land. The Bible explains the kingdom of God.
Luke (17:20-21)『Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would
come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful
observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."』People
are trying to understand the kingdom of God through the concept of land. But
the concept of a nation includes land, people, and sovereignty.
『the kingdom of God is within you.』 The word『within』 includes
two concepts『with and in』. First, the kingdom of God is in your spirit. The Holy Spirit is in the spirit of the repentant. God
said in the Old Testament
“I'm in the sanctuary and in the temple”. At that time people
could not meet God because they were sinner who left God. So the priest kill
the sheep with sacrifices that the people brought and the priest went out to
God.
Those who are
associated with Jesus can go directly to God because Jesus is a sacrifice and
he was a high priest. Therefore God's temple appears in the spirit of man that
union with Jesus.
1 Corinthians (3:16)『Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple
and that God's Spirit lives in you?』God's Spirit is the
Spirit of salvation. Who came the Holy Spirit of salvation in spirit become a
people of God. So The Saints can worship God directly.
John(4:20-24)『Our
fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we
must worship is in Jerusalem." Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a
time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in
Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do
know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they
are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.』
Second, the kingdom of God is with you. The kingdom of
God represents sovereignty in people. Matthew(18:15-20) explain the authority of the kingdom of God.『"If
your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two
of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will
not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be
established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to
listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the
church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. "I tell you the
truth, whatever you bind on earth will bebound in heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. "Again, I tell you that if two of
you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my
Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I
with them."』
Authority is the
authority of the judge. And The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus Christ. This
Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit of the comforter. The Holy Spirit of Salvation
and the Holy Spirit of comforter are the same Holy Spirit. People are named
differently in the order that the Holy Spirit appear to people.
Third, we must
understand the territory of the kingdom of God. This world is not the kingdom
of God but the earth of satan. God allowed satan, having the power to rule this
land until the final judgment.
Matthew(8:29)『"What
do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here
to torture us before the appointed time?" the appointed time is that the
final judgment』 Satan had the ruler of the kingdom of
the air but the territory of satan's dominion was restricted to the earth from
the air by the resurrection of Jesus. Revelation(12:12) 『Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell
in them But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to
you He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."』Many
people say that satan took possession of the dominion of the earth. But that is
not what the Bible says.
People say that satan took possession because Adam and Eve had sinned
in the garden of Eden. God allowed that satan dominates the world. Luke(4:6) 『And
he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it
has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.』
The god of this world
is satan. So God says at 1 John (2:15) 『Do not love the world or anything in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.』God wants that the Garden of Eden to be
restored, God waits for a sinner who has left God. God wants the sinner to
repent and return. And God wants that they will restore the garden of Eden.
Repentance to God
means that Sin and evil are dying. We must realize that evil is our very own.
So human being produces sin. People want to be forgiven of their sins to God
without telling evil. It’s the opposite. Evil in my
mind must die. Then God forgives sin to the repentant because of Jesus.
Satan is desperately
disturbing repentant such as 1 Peter (5:8)『Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the
devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.』
In this land, the
kingdom of God is the church. The church is the place where the Saints gather.
We call the saints who Holy Spirit come in the spirit. The temple is not a
church building, but a saint. It does not matter to the number of saints. So
saint can meet and worship God alone, saints can meet and worship God at home,
school, company. Worship is not a form, is to confirm that saints are the
servant of Jesus.
『The
kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation』But everyone sees when Jesus returns, Many people will regret not
knowing the kingdom of God. The eyes of the flesh can not see the kingdom of
God. Only those with the eyes of the Spirit can see it. John (3:5)『no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and
the Spirit.』One must repent of leaving God, must return
to God, have to match Jesus' cross with oneself, and deny the self from the
bod. Because evil is hidden in the body. This is way how we can obey God's word.
In the Bible, the kingdom of
God is also expressed as heaven. In Genesis 1:1, 『In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.』 (kjv)
The heavens are expressed as
heavens in the NIV English Bible. Heaven means the kingdom of God. The kingdom
of God is strictly one. However, conceptually, the plural is also used. It is
expressed as the first heaven, the second heaven, and the third heaven. The
heaven are one, but to say that "God created the heaven and the earth in
the beginning" means to separate the material world from the kingdom of
God. And God has imprisoned sinful spirits in the material world. The Bible
describes the material world as being surrounded by the Holy Spirit. In Genesis
1:2, “And
the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
A spirit trapped in the dust of the
material world became a human being. However, those who resist God and repent
and realize that they have departed from the kingdom of God will be saved
through Jesus Christ. The spirit who has been born again through water and the
Holy Spirit has found freedom again by putting on the body of the spirit. The
resurrected spirit is the kingdom of God. Conceptually, this can be called the
first heaven. And the Holy Spirit can be said to be the second heaven. And the
God of the throne is the third heaven. All the heavens are in God, but the
material world is locked in darkness because God's light is blocked. As the
light of God (Jesus Christ) begins to shine on this earth, the kingdom of God
has come.
The apostle Paul speaks of the third heaven in 2 Corinthians 12:1-4. 『It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will
come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above
fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the
body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell:
God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable
words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”
While the apostle
Paul speaks of his own experience, he also refers to a third person. This is
the experience of the apostle Paul 14 years ago, but it is revealed through
visions and revelations that those who are born again will also be like this.
Paul prophesied that the apostle Paul's experience would be like a vision, a
revelation to those who were born again. The dead spirit comes back to life,
takes on a spirit body, and enters the third heaven. Those who are in Christ
are the words of being with Christ at the right hand of God.
(God, human
being and Satan)
(God) Generally,
Humans
choose the name of God. In the Hebrew, the Jews says God that
called el. In the English, people says God that called God. In the China, people says God that
called Tiendi. In the Spain, people says God that
called Dios. In the Islam, people says God that called allah. In the Korea, people
says
God that called hananim.
But God expressed man(Mose) his name. In
the Old Testament, Mose to escape Hebrew people from Egypt heard that “I am who
I am” from God. In the Hebrew, the Jews say God's name
that called Adonai(Later, changed to Yahweh). In the Greek, the people say God's name
that called Curious. In the English, the the people say God's name
that called The Lord. In the China, people says God's name
that called Yenheowa. In the Korea, people says God's name
that called Jehovah.
Today Yahweh that the Judaism’ man believe
is different with Yahweh that Christian believe. Yahweh that the Judaism’ man
believe is Yahweh in Old Testament times. But Yahweh that Christian believe is
Yahweh that Jesus calls him my God father in New Testament times. Yahweh, Jesus
called Father, is the only God because it
has to do with the Trinity. God, the Father of Jesus, is important.
Christian
can call Yahweh, the father of Jesus. Christians are those who are associated
with Jesus
(Trinity) God is one. but there are three. we do not
understand, but it's true. God sitting on the throne, God creating and God operating (Holy spirit). These three
God is Trinity. Many angels had sinned in the kingdom of God. God threw them
into a dark pit. The dark pit is the world as material world. God created the
material world to restrain the sinful angels
The human being that thrown into this world
make sin constantly. So, the Creator God came in the shape of the body that die
on the cross to save mankind into this world .
In this world, he became the son of God
sitting on the throne although Jesus was the Creator in the kingdom of God. So
Jesus calls God sitting the Father. Today, people are baptized in the name of
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
(human being)Human being consists of a combination of body, soul,
and spirit. Human beings are divided into body, soul, and spirit.
The first is the human being that body
control. These humans have little control over themselves such as alcoholism
and drug addiction
The second is the human being that soul
control. The spirit that God put in the body died. The soul is the master of
the body. The soul means knowledge, emotion, and will. the human being that the
soul rule is different from the human being that the body rule although the
soul was formed from the body. The human being that the soul rule have moral
and self-control. But the human being do not know that the spirit is trapped in
the body, the spirit died.
The third is the human being that spirit
control. Humans
have to deny the soul to recognize the master of the
body. The spirit must be the master of the body in the word of God. The Bible(1 John 2:15) says『do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves
the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Anyone need money
empirically to live this world.』
Anyone think I can not
help loving the world to make money. those who abandon their thoughts at this
time is a person of spirit. We must deny the soul to save the spirit.
Jesus told the Jews to deny themselves.
there are souls in themselves. There is a greed to be like God in souls in
themselves. This greed appeared to many angels to be tempted by Satan in the
kingdom of God and appeared to Eve to be tempted by Satan in the garden of Eden.
This greed is an idol. God hates idols. So God hates soul. God loves those who
deny the soul.
(satan) Satan is a
representative name for demons and ghost. Satan comes into people's thoughts.
So satan causes man to proud himself and commit a crime. Every
man's sin is caused by satan. So a person of spirit must fight Satan. The soul
is under satan's control. So the soul can not fight satan. The soul makes sin
when the environment worsens.
Satan is the king of this world. Why did
God allow Satan to rule this world? This world is place like a prison. God gave
the sinner to the chief of sin during the set period. That was time when Jesus
died on the cross. People can destroy the devil when sinners are liberated from
satan by Jesus.
At the end of the last days God judge Satan,
the devil, the ghost, and a servant to satan
Satan is the king of this world. Jesus said,"my
kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my
arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." (John18:36) and “do not love the world
or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is
not in him for everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of
his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father
but from the world”.』(1 John 2:15-16)
This world is place like a prison. God told
human being not to love the place like Satan's prison.
only those who the spirit is alive can escape from Satan's power.
(sin and the way of salvation)
Sin includes original sin and world sin.
The reason of living in this world is caused original sin. It is sin for human
being to escape from God because evil angels wanted to be like God by the
temptation of satan. And the sin of the world is the sin that human being make
in the world. A sinner must repent, then can only return to the kingdom of God
because God forgive a repentant. Repentance is the thing to return mind for the
original location. The thought of greed must die to return mind. This is
repentance. The reason for sin in this world is because of satan who is the
master in thought.
human being must be free
from satan in order not to sin. Jesus has to pay value of blood satan to buy a
repentant. God forgives the sins of those who come into Jesus' cross. Those who
come into Jesus' cross die on the cross also. Those who died with Christ become
servants of Christ. God resurrects the servant of Christ. This is salvation.
In the past the Israelites killed the lamb
without blemish and they offered it to the altar in order to forgive sins from
God. The lamb become a sinner that killed that sheep. The one who killed sheep and
the sheep to be died must unite to forgive sins. The one who killed Jesus and
Jesus to be died must unite to forgive sins likewise. The one who killed Jesus
is me as soul. This is the revelation of Christ.
The one who died with Jesus is soul of body, spirit free from the power of
Satan. soul of body who died with Jesus is evil about God. I (soul) can die
when I(spirit) die. Then Jesus said to his disciples,『"If anyone would come after me, he must deny
himself and take up his cross and follow me.』(Matthew16:24) Those who understands Christ's revelation can be
saved. The soul dies with Jesus, and the spirit lives with Jesus.『The Spirit gives life;
the flesh
counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit
and they are life.』(John6:63)
(revelation of Christ)
Revelation of Christ is revelation of Death. Anyone who receive Christ's revelation realize all human beings to be total depravity. If you do
not know this, you do not realize Christ's
revelation.
All human beings to be total
depravity have to die before God. Those who
understands this can realize reason why
Jesus should die.『Anyone who realizes the revelation of Christ dies
with Jesus on the cross. God does not ask the sins of the dead. because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.』(Romans 6:6-7) 『Therefore, there is now no condemnation for anyone who are in Christ Jesus.』(Romans
8:1) Anyone who has died has been freed from sin. The soul
must die. If the soul dies with Jesus on the cross, God will give life to the dead
spirit.
『What shall we say, then? Shall
we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means. We died to sin; how
can we live in it any longer?』(Romans 6:1-2)
『Anyone who has died has been
freed from sin. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's
seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.』 (1
John 3:9) Repentance is not the thing that confess sin, is the thing that not makes
sin. What happens if anyone continue sins after repented sins, repentance
is fake. Repentance of fake can not be saved.
(baptism
and rebirth)
『Having been buried
with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God,
who raised him from the dead.』 (Colossians 2:12) You have to be born again. It is my choice
that the mind(soul) of the body dies. God gives life to the spirit when the
mind of the body dies. So the soul is associated with death of Jesus on the
cross. The death of the cross is not suicide. Salvation is not eliminating sin.
“Old self” that the root of sin has to die. This is the circumcision. 『In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the
sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the
circumcision done by Christ.』(Colossians 2:11) Circumcision
is a sign that removes the body as “old self” .
“Old self” of all man is a lump of sin. “Old self” is the son
of the devil, every man has an “old self” that want to be like God another name
for the soul is “old self”. We must remove the “old self”. When an “old self” is removed,
a new self is born.『Having been
buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power
of God, who raised him from the dead.』 (Colossians 2:12) God does not
forgive “old self”. So “old self”must die. As
long as “old self”lives, he can not enter the kingdom of God.
“Old self” loves the world.
『For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be
slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.』(Romans 6:6-7) If “old self”dies, God
forgives sin. Repentance is the death of “old self”.
(Resurrection and ascension)
『That if you confess with your
mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved.』(Romans10:9)
Salvation is the condition that Jesus must
be my master. Jesus stayed in this world for 40 days after the resurrection and
he ascended to the kingdom of God. Before Jesus died he said that I will be raised to life on the third day.『The chief priests and the Pharisees remembered
the words of Jesus. "We remember
that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise
again.'』(Matthew 27:63) So they made the tomb secure by
putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
Jesus
did not show the appearance of resurrection except with his disciples and a few
people. No one believed the resurrection until Jesus appeared.
A angel appear to Mary Magdalene,
Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others and he said that Jesus was
resurrected.
Women told this to the
apostles. But the apostles did not believe the women, because women’s words
seemed to them like nonsense.
Today the church people believe in the
resurrection of Jesus. Resurrection is a fact that human thought can not
understand. But if you believe in the resurrection, you will be resurrected
now. But Life seems to have nothing to do with resurrection. If you believe in
the resurrection, you must believe that you are born as a new creature.
therefore the old self(soul) must die.
It is only knowledge that believing in the
resurrection without dying the love of this world.
『We were therefore buried with
him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from
the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.』(Romans 6:3)
『Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.』 Galatians 5:24)
『Jesus said to her, "I am
the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he
dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe
this?"』(John 11:25-26)
『For you died, and your life is
now hidden with Christ in God.』 (Colossians3:3)
『And God raised us up
with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.』 (Ephesians 2:6)
Anyone
who believes the resurrection is in this earth, but the Bible say that God raised us up with
Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly.
This word means ascension. It means to be
one with the ascended Jesus.『So those who believe in the
resurrection gain authority to become children of God. Yet to all who
received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God.』(John 1:12)
(The last days and Judgment of God)
The end includes personal and universal
things. The end of personal means the death of the body. Those who believe that
the body of the past is stuck and dead as like a shell, in other words, those who believes in the resurrection
of a new body return to the kingdom of God. But those who do not believe in
Jesus' resurrection go in to the resurrection of judgment.『and come out those who have done good will rise to live, and
those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.』(John 5:29)
The Bible say the end of the world.『And
this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony
to all nations, and then the end will come.』(Matthew 24:14)
The Bible say that many false Christs
appear at the end. People's faith is gone, people's minds become corrupted, the
natural ecosystem is destroyed, the order of life is disturbed and there will
be an uproar like war. Suddenly the day come.
At that time God threw satan into the
Abyss for a
thousand years, the real Christ returns to this world. Christ
will rule the world for a thousand years. The Bible describes that it is the
recovery of Israel.(It is different from Israel's independence in 1948). When a
thousand years pass, God let the satan be released from the abyss for little while. Satan will deceive the world again.
Though sin does not occur during the
millennium of Jesus' reign, when satan deceives the world again, sin will
arise. It is proved that sin is caused by Satan.
God will judge Satan and devil(ghosts) and
humans who worshiped satan at the end of the world. After God's judgment, the
material world will disappear since the purpose of creation has been achieved.『By the same word the
present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of
judgment and destruction of ungodly men.』(2 Peter 3:7)
When the material world disappears, new
heaven and new earth appear again. The new
heavens and the new earth means the kingdom of God.『as you look forward
to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction
of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping
with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the
home of righteousness.』(2 Peter 3:12
-13)
