📰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.

===========================
There have been many earthquakes in human history. Are these calamities part of God's judgment? In the 20th century, there were more than 24 major earthquakes that killed more than five million people. Among them, 14 earthquakes killed more than two million people. Earthquakes continue to occur even today, so is this all God's wrath of judgment in Revelation 6?
Let's look at the Biblical meaning. Firstly, let's look at the general background of the events in Revelation chapter 6. The location of the events of Revelation 6 is the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands, the tabernacle of the chosen people, where the angel (messenger) of the lamp that Jesus set up to prepare the way worked. However, these seven messengers betrayed by breaking the covenant with Jesus, and in Revelation 13, the beast that came from the world, likened to the sea - that is, Satan's shepherd - invaded the tabernacle.
At that time, as recorded in Revelation 2-3, Jesus sent letters of repentance to the people who betrayed through a shepherd chosen by Jesus. The content of the letters was that the shepherds and congregation of the Tabernacle Temple should repent, fight and overcome the gentile shepherds, likened to beasts, who were invading God's tabernacle.
However, they did not keep the covenant with Jesus, and as a result, they lost the spiritual battle with Satan's pastor and were deprived of their teaching authority, and became Satan's possession. Therefore, the words of Revelation 6 speak of Jesus judging the chosen people who betrayed who were likened to the sun, moon and stars. In this way, Revelation 6 records content of the chosen people being judged by Jesus. As this is God's wrath towards unbelievers, it does not refer to the judgment caused by natural disasters. Therefore, the kings and princes of the earth do not refer to the unbelieving heads of state, but to pastors and congregation of the Tabernacle Temple who betrayed the covenant with Jesus.
What are the caves, mountains and rocks where the chosen people hid from God's wrath? Let's find out their true spiritual meaning.
What is the figurative cave? When you enter a burrow, there is no light, so you cannot distinguish objects around you. In the Bible, the light means the Word and the true Shepherd who has the Word. Therefore, the cave, void of light, means the organisation of false shepherds who do not have the word.
Let's look at the analogy of the mountain. In the Bible, there are two types of spiritual mountain. One is in Zechariah 8:3, the church of God called the Faithful City and Holy Mountain. Conversely, in Jeremiah 51:25, there is a mountain of the enemy called the mountain of destruction - that is, a Gentile mountain - that destroyed the whole earth and set itself up against God.

The figurative rock refers to a shepherd. In 1 Corinthians 10:4, there are true shepherds who acknowledged that the Rock is Christ, while there are false shepherds, as recorded in Deuteronomy 32:31, whose rock is the rock of the enemy.
In Matthew 13, Jesus revealed the mystery of the kingdom of heaven in parables, and according to the words of John 16:25, the time would come when one would be able to clearly testify its true meaning. If you apply a literal understanding to the book of Revelation written in parables and interpret it arbitrarily, you will not know its true meaning. If you do not understand the prophecies and interpret them literally, or if you interpret the time, people and locations of the events in a literal way, you will make an erroneous claim that has nothing to do with the Bible. One who does not know the things of heaven and speaks arbitrarily about the things of the world speaks lies, which is the wine of adultery and the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.
Contrasting arguments are made about the Bible because one interprets the Bible with one's own thought, and not as one who actually saw and heard the fulfilment of the promises of Revelation. As written in the words of John 8:44-47, 2000 years ago, Satan the devil entered the scribes and Pharisees, and ruled over their hearts so that they spoke lies.
On the contrary, Jesus, who spoke the words in John 14:24, testified to the truth because the Spirit of God, who is the Word, was with him. Likewise, today, the pastor of new heaven and new earth, who is promised to receive and eat the word of revelation in Revelation 10, has become one with Jesus to testify the word of truth. In Revelation 1:1~3, Jesus took the sealed book in God's right hand, opened it, and delivered it to New John through an angel, and the testimony that New John received is again delivered to the servants. Therefore, there is only one shepherd who preaches the words of Jesus' revelation.
"Praying to a boulder without repentance, even when a natural disaster strikes"
Korean Church
Pastor A, Presbyterian Church
''The sixth seal is, in one word, a disaster - a natural disaster and a great earthquake. Yet it's not just a great earthquake. It is in a world where the sun darkens, the mountains and islands are displaced, and tsunamis and tectonic displacements occur.
With catastrophes this powerful, no one can survive at home. The disasters are so powerful that people will take refuge in the mountains, rocks and caves.
Then why do such natural disasters happen? It is so that the three powers in your midst that be - Islam, Buddhism and Communism - can be humbled so that they hear the Gospel.''
Pastor B, Full Gospel Church
''This is a natural disaster. The Lord is now judging through a natural disaster where a great storm blows and tens of thousands of Hindus are killed.
God's wrath would not hold still because the servant of the Lord and his family were confined in a car and burned to death by blockading their door from the outside and spraying gasoline on it. There were also many martyrs in the Bible. Would God just stand still?''
