Shincheonji Bible Study: The Creation of the 12 tribes


Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,  from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000. (Revelation 7:4-8)

The Book of Revelation is a book of prophecy that contains God's final work within the 6000 years of Biblical history. Throughout this history, God has fulfilled every single prophecy; first promising what He will do, and then fulfilling it (Isaiah 14:24, 46:10). This prophecy of the sealed 12 tribes must also be fulfilled. How, and with what, are these 12 tribes of Shincheonji created?

To answer this, let’s first look at God’s history with man. 6000 years ago, God established a covenant with Adam that he could freely eat from any tree in the Garden of Eden except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17). Adam, however, broke this covenant (Genesis 3:22), and God had to leave, putting an end to Adam's generation. God then re-established His covenant with Noah, but after his son, Ham, betrayed (Genesis 9:25), God put an end to Noah's generation. Later, the 12 tribes of physical Israel under Moses’ leadership also broke the covenant (Exodus 19:5-6), just as Adam did (Hosea 6:7). Because of man’s continual betrayal, God had to create a ‘new thing’ and promised to do so 600BC (Jeremiah 31:22). This prophecy was spread to people for 600 years before Jesus Christ - God’s one and only son - came in fulfilment of this prophecy.

Jesus came to sow God’s seed, or ‘word’ (Matthew 13). Jesus then promised to return to harvest the fruits of the seed that was sown (Matthew 13:24-30, 24:31). The fulfilment of this prophecy is now taking place 2000 years later in our times today. Jesus - who is in spirit - is harvesting those born of God’s seed and taking them to Mount Zion (Revelation 14:1-5, 14:14-16) where they are being sealed with God’s word of Revelation (Revelation 7). In Mount Zion, the 144,000 priests and great multitude are established (Revelation 1:5-6, 5:9-10, 7:14) to create a new kingdom and people. This is 'New Heaven New Earth' or Shincheonji Church (Revelation 21). This promised kingdom is the place where the new song (testimony of the physical fulfilment of Revelation)  is sung by the 144,000 firstfruits.

Sadly, there are also people born of the weeds of the seed that the devil sowed 2000 years ago who appear and persecute those born of God’s seed. The fulfilment of this prophecy are the false pastors and their congregation members who persecute the congregation members of Shincheonji Church. This word that has been revealed in our times today isn't just for a select few people; it is for all humanity. The great multitude in Revelation 14 are a vast, uncountable number of people who hear and accept this revealed word. God has waited 6000 years to reveal this truth. Those who put their faith in God's promise will be eternally blessed.
