The Death of a 'Quarter of the Earth' in Revelation 6

by - 21:12

📰The Bible is one of the best-selling and most widely distributed books in history, yet it is also considered to be among the least understood. The Bible, which is referred to as the New Covenant and Promise of God, in which 'the way to heaven and salvation' is presented, differs in theologians' interpretations that make it difficult to understand. These differing interpretations have been the cause of the rise of denominations with each one establishing their own doctrine. With the increase in online church services and gatherings resulting from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, there has been growing interest in the comparison of various church doctrine. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide readers with the opportunity to compare differing Biblical teachings without interpretation. Among a host of online sermons and Bible-based teachings, the contrasting doctrine between the established Church and Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which has drawn public interest throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, is hereby compared and summarised. Best efforts have been made to provide a summary of Shincheonji Church of Jesus' understanding of the Bible. Judgment as to what is right or wrong is left to the reader’s discernment.

 

"The death of a quarter of the earth is the death of the spirits of believers in the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands who betrayed and were killed with the word of lies"

In Revelation 6, when Jesus opens the fourth seal, it is said that the rider of the pale horse is given authority over a quarter of the earth to kill with the sword, famine and wild beasts of the earth. If understood literally, these are terrifying and unimaginable words. What is the death of a quarter of the earth that is talked about here?

Firstly, let's take a look at the overall situation up to Revelation chapter 6.

The location of the events of Revelation 6 is the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands, which is the tabernacle of the chosen people where the spirits of the seven lampstands that prepare the way for Jesus are. However, these seven messengers who betrayed by breaking the covenant with Jesus, and the beast that came from the sea (world) in Revelation 13, Satan's shepherd, invaded the Tabernacle Temple. At that time, in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, Jesus sent letters of repentance, through a shepherd chosen by Jesus, to those who had betrayed. The content of the letter was urging the shepherds (messengers) and congregation of the Tabernacle Temple to repent and to fight and overcome Satan's beast-like shepherds who invaded God's tabernacle.

However, they did not keep the covenant with Jesus, and as a result, they lost the spiritual battle with Satan's shepherd, lost their teaching authority and became the enemy's possession.

Therefore, in Revelation 6, Jesus raises up the four living creatures that are before the throne of God and uses a bow, large sword, scales and beasts of the earth to judge the shepherds and congregation of the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands who had betrayed. Even amid this judgment, the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands who did not repent were sacrificed to Satan's false shepherds and died spiritually, as recorded in Revelation 8 and 9, just like Adam who was expelled from the Garden of Eden.

Therefore, the location of the events of Revelation 6 is not the entire world, but the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands. Therefore, the earth that is being slain is not the 1.5 billion people of the world, but the congregation of the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands that betrayed.

Then, what is the beast of the earth that kills a quarter of the spirits of the congregation of the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands that betrayed?

The beast spoken of in the Bible refers to a person who neither knows God nor the word of God, as seen in Proverbs 30. In Matthew 23, Jesus likened the scribes and Pharisees to serpent-like shepherds who killed the spirits of believers without knowledge of the word of God. Therefore, the beast of the earth in the main reference also refers to the false shepherd who entered the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands and killed the spirits of the congregation with the word of lies, as seen in Revelation 13.

Therefore, the death of a quarter of the earth refers to the death of the spirits of the congregation of the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands who betrayed.

Shincheonji's promised shepherd, the promised pastor, belongs to heaven and bears witness to heaven's truth in the presence of God's Holy Spirit. The words of Jesus in John 14:24 were the words of truth God delivered through Jesus' lips.

Shincheonji's promised shepherd has also received and eaten the revealed word from heaven, thus bearing witness to the word of truth. Therefore, a person can only become a child of God and enter the kingdom of heaven when they meet the promised pastor of Shincheonji and are born of God's seed. Conversely, in John 8:44, we see that Satan's shepherd speaks lies. To testify a lie is to sow the devil's seed, and if you are born of that seed, you will become a child of the devil and will go to the hell where there is fire and brimstone.

Through the word of revelation, the promised shepherd of Shincheonji is creating God's eternal kingdom, a new nation that is created by harvesting the children born of God's seed, sealing the 144,000 of the 12 tribes, and gathering the multitude in white whose sins are atoned by the blood of the Lamb. This is Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.

"1.5 billion people, roughly one quarter of the world's population, will die through suicide bombings by terrorist groups such as ISIS"
Korean Church

Pastor A, Presbyterian Church
"Therefore, the era of death will occur during an era of war, and such death will be permitted by God. What will happen? It will kill a quarter of the world's population. The 'quarter' means firstly a quarter of beasts and then, above all, a quarter of humanity. How much is a quarter of the world's population? The population here is 1.5 billion, which is a quarter of the world's population of 6 billion. This is not a small number. 1.5 billion people will die."

Pastor B, Presbyterian Church
"In the Middle East, this is happening right now. A red horse, a black horse, and a fourth pale horse appear. The rider's name was Death, and Hades followed behind them. They gained power over a third of the earth and killed with the sword, famine, death and beasts of the earth. Now ISIS fighters are travelling all over the world to carry out suicide bombings and the world is in a state of panic. I don't know how far this will spread."
