Shincheonji Church of Jesus: God’s promised dwelling in the New Testament

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of The Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereafter 'Shincheonji church') is the promised church recorded in the New Testament of the Bible.

Throughout the 6000 years of Biblical history, God has always said what He will do in advance of doing them (Amos 3:7), so that people would believe when what He has promised appears in reality. This is why Jesus spoke these words to his disciples at the first coming:-
“I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe” (Jn 14:29)

After Adam sinned (Gn 3:22) and God put an end to his generation through a flood, God chose Noah. Noah's second son, Ham, also sinned (Gn 9:25) and God cursed Ham’s descendants (Canaan was his son). To fulfil this promise, God came to Abram (the ninth generation of Noah’s first son, Seth), called him out of Ur (modern-day Iraq) at the age of 75, promised him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and that they would be enslaved in a foreign land, but after 400 years would come out with great possessions (Gn 12, 15). To fulfil these promises, God then moved Jacob (Abraham’s grandson) and his 70 family members to Egypt through many trials and tribulations. 400 years after God's promise to Abraham, to the very day, God brought the Israelites out of Egypt under Moses. God then fulfilled His promise to Noah by leading the Israelites into the ‘promised’ land of Canaan through Joshua. God will move an entire nation to fulfil His promise.

God allways works through this process of ‘prophecy (promise) and fulfilment’ so that one will believe when the reality of what God promises appears. Through the Old Testament prophets (Isaiah-Malachi), God made hundreds of promises about a saviour who would come. The reality of this promise was Jesus Christ (Jn 5:39). Jesus himself also promised about future events, which are recorded in the four Gospels and book of Revelation. These prophecies have aleady been fulfilled in the Republic of Korea and are being freely made known to people throughout the world.

The place where the New Testament promise is being made known is Shincheonji church. It is God and Jesus' promised church recorded in the book of Revelation. Through Jesus’ promised messenger, who has seen and heard all the promised events in Revelation, this is being made known to people throughout the world (Rv 22:8, 16). Shincheonji church is also called 'The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony' (Rv 15:5) because Revelation began to be fulfilled at the Tabernacle Temple in Korea where testimony of what took place is being explained. It is also called ‘Mount Zion’ (Rv 14) because it is God’s mountain (church), and is called ‘Shincheonji Church of Jesus' because Jesus - not man - is the head of the church. According to Jesus’ promise, what it teaches are the things of heaven and not the things of the earth.


Jesus was the promised pastor of the Old Testament promise. However, Jesus promised to send someone in his name at the time of Revelation’s fulfilment (Jn 14-16). According to this promise, there is a promised pastor today who sent the letters in Rv2-3, went up to heaven in Rv 4-5, received and ate the opened scroll in Rv 10 and overcame the enemy in Rv 12, receiving all the promised 12 blessings recorded in Rv2-3. He is Jesus’ messenger who has been at the location of the events in Revelation and is testifying to everything he has seen and heard. Shouldn't one find this person in order to receive his testimony?

God will fulfil everything through Shincheonji church and the promised pastor. The number of congregation members currently exceed 200,000 and this figure is expected to reach 300,000 by the end of 2019 through a unified graduation ceremony of 100,000 people who will have completed Shincheonji church’s intensive six-month Bible study programme at one of their 300 'Zion Mission Centers' worldwide. Shincheonji church is expanding its channels of communication far and wide to allow as many people as possible to learn the truth of God’s promise recorded in the New Testament; specifically, the book of Revelation. 

Shincheonji, translated as ‘New Heaven New Earth', is God’s promised dwelling (Rv 21) where God, who left after Adam's sin, will return to dwell with His creation in a world without death, mourning, crying or pain (Rv 21:3-4). What could be more hopeful than this?
