What is the true meaning of 'hail' in Revelation 8?

by - 19:23

📰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 spiritual meaning of hail and fire is the word of judgment that was poured out on the people who betrayed

In Revelation 8, it is said that a third of the earth and trees will be burnt up with the hail and fire mixed with blood. What is this hail and fire mixed with blood that burns up the earth and the trees?

The established denominations claim that these are nuclear and hydrogen bombs. Then, this global village that we live in will be judged by God with a nuclear bomb and will come to an end. Will God, who created this earth for us to live in and loves all things, have worked for 6,000 years only to destroy the earth with a nuclear bomb?

Let's see if this hail and fire mixed with blood is a nuclear bomb or not.

If we go back to the main reference, it says that a third of the trees were burned up with the hail and fire mixed with blood.

First of all, the hail here is hail, but what is hail mixed with blood? Hail is ice; rain falling from the sky. In Deuteronomy 32:2, just as the rain from heaven gives life to the vegetation of the earth, the spiritual rain that falls on a person who is likened to a tree or grass is God's word of life, which gives life to the human spirit. As the rain is the word, is the hail the frozen word? Water and hail are opposites. Water gives life to living things, but when hail falls, it bruises, causing great damage. It is like the ancient times of Moses in the Old Testament when the Egyptians and their livestock were struck by hail and died.

Likewise, when the word is spoken with love, it becomes grace and life, but when God speaks in anger, it becomes wrath, or judgment. Therefore, the hail that damages trees and grass in the main reference is spiritual hail that judges people who are likened to trees and grass. It is the word of judgment.

Then what is this hail mixed with blood? These are the words of wrath testified by Jesus, who died by shedding his blood. Then, following on from the main reference, the hail and fire mixed with blood burns wood. What is this fire? When hail falls and melts, it becomes water, so why was there a fire?

This shows that this fire is not a physical fire, but a spiritual fire, just as the hail we saw earlier does not refer to physical hail. In Zechariah 3, Joshua is said to be a tree scorched by fire; in Matthew 3:11 John the Baptist refers to Jesus as the one who baptises with the Holy Spirit and with fire. It was said in Luke 12, I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

How can a person become a tree scorched by fire? As baptism is a ritual of washing, when did Jesus actually baptise people with fire, and when did Jesus actually cast fire on the earth? This fire is the spiritual fire that consumes man's sin, just as it burns wood. As God said in Jeremiah 5:14, I will make my words in your mouth a fire and these people the wood it consumes. The words become like fire.

Therefore, the hail and fire that fall from heaven have different qualities, but spiritually they refer to the same word of judgment.

Therefore, in the main reference, when there is hail and fire mixed with blood, and a third of the earth, trees, and all the green grass are burnt up, it does not refer to the literal burning of the physical trees and grass on the earth, but to spiritual judgment. One-third of the chosen people likened to the earth, trees, and grass were judged by the words of fire because they sinned against God. That is to say that their spirits died and their hearts were wounded by the scorching fire.

In other words, hail and fire mixed with blood are the words of judgment poured out on the people who betrayed, and are not nuclear or hydrogen bombs. Do not insist that jujube is persimmon: it is like saying that hail and fire mixed with blood are nuclear and hydrogen bombs. This is a lie and an arbitrary interpretation by a false shepherd that is nonsensical and has no Biblical basis.

“It’s a megaton atomic bomb that judges the natural world from which we will escape
Korean Church

Pastor A, Presbyterian Church
When you think of hail, the first thing that comes to mind is the book of Exodus, and one of the ten plagues that fell on Pharaoh, the stubborn ruler of Egypt. Egypt is the subject of judgment for the ten plagues, including the hail that fell on Egypt. We are completely freed from this judgment (the judgment of hail in Revelation 8). This is intended to make us more expectant for a final victory that signals the end of the rulers of this world and those who hold the power of darkness. Up to the fourth trumpet, there is judgment of the natural world.

Pastor B, Full Gospel Church
Hail and fire mixed with blood came and was poured out on the earth, and a third of the earth, a third of the trees, and all the green grass was burnt up. This cannot exist without an atomic or a hydrogen bomb. It's megaton-level.
