| On 26th July 2022, Cheonji Ilbo (Cheonji Daily) published an article in Korean, entitled, “What is the true meaning of Revelation 12, 'The dragon's tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth'?”. This is a translation of that report. |
📰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 tail is a false shepherd who makes one third of the congregation members of the tabernacle of heaven return to the flesh”
Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony
===========================
The book of Revelation is fulfilled according to the order of betrayal - destruction - salvation (2 Thessalonians 2:1~3). First, at the time of the fulfilment of Revelation, the seven angels of the seven stars who prepare the way for the Lord at the Second Coming appear. The tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands, where these seven angels are, is the location of the fulfilment of the events of the Book of Revelation. This place is called 'heaven' or the 'tabernacle' in Revelation 13, and in Revelation 12, it is said that the woman clothed with the sun, moon and stars is in heaven.
In the Bible, the place where the Most High God dwells is called heaven. There is the heaven of the spiritual world where God, who is Spirit, resides, as well as the tabernacle of heaven in the physical world. If the society of unbelievers and the churches that belong to the world are called the 'earth', then the churches belonging to God can be called 'heaven' because the Word of God and the Spirit of God are there. Just as the stars are in the sky, this tabernacle with the seven stars and the seven messengers becomes the sky (heaven). Therefore, the book of Revelation is an event that takes place on this earth, that is, in the world of the flesh.
The seven messengers of the tabernacle of heaven broke the covenant with Jesus, and Satan's false shepherds, the destroyers, entered the tabernacle. To the seven stars (messengers) who were deceived by Satan's group and betrayed, Jesus sent letters of repentance. However, even after receiving the letters, they did not repent, and in Revelation 6 they were driven out to the Gentile caves, mountains and rocks; that is, the Gentile shepherds and their denomination. Eventually, they were killed by the destroyers in Revelation 8 and 9 .
But even though they were sacrificed and killed, they did not repent. Who are the destroyers who destroyed the chosen people's tabernacle of heaven? In Revelation 13, they are called the beast with seven heads and ten horns that came up from the sea, and in today's text, Revelation chapter 12, they are the enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns in heaven. This dragon, who is also called the ancient snake, the devil and Satan, rules over the whole world. This red dragon with seven heads and ten horns has a tail.
Then, what is the meaning of the seven heads, ten horns, and tails belonging to the dragon? This is not a literal dragon with heads, horns and tails. The head refers to the shepherd who is a seer, and according to Isaiah 9, the horns refer to the head of the shepherd, who is the authority figure, and the tail is the false prophet belonging to the dragon.
Therefore, the existence of seven heads and ten horns refers to the seven head shepherds belonging to the dragon and ten other false shepherds belonging to the seven head shepherds.
Therefore, the fact that 1/3 of the stars in the sky are swept from heaven to the earth by the dragon's tail means that the false prophets belonging to Satan use their teachings and doctrines, that is, untruths, to bring 1/3 of the chosen people from the heaven's tabernacle back from belonging to God to now becoming Gentiles.
Also, in Revelation 9, a group of destroyers, Satan's cavalry, appears. If you look at the appearance of this cavalry, the horses have heads like lions, and fire, smoke and sulphur come out of their mouths; and their tails are like snakes, but they have heads on their tails. In reality, such entities do not exist. Here, the horse and rider refer to the spirit and body belonging to Satan. And the expression 'head on their tail' means that there is a shepherd, that is, a ruler, who leads the false prophets.
Then, how is the tail of Revelation 12 different from the tail of Revelation 9? The tail of Revelation 12 is the tail of a dragon, and the tail of Revelation 9 is the tail of a horse. Whereas in Revelation 12 the tail is the dragon's tail that makes one-third of the congregation members of the tabernacle of heaven fall to the earth, in Revelation 9 the horse's tail has heads, and the fire, smoke and sulphur that come out of the horse's mouth are used to burn one-third of mankind, that is, to harm the spirits of 1/3 of the congregation members of the tabernacle of heaven with their teaching and doctrine of untruths.
In this way, when the tabernacle of heaven is being trampled on by the destroyers, the one who wins the battle without becoming one with them will appear. This one who overcomes is the male child born of the woman clothed with the sun, moon and stars in Revelation 12, and this one who overcomes fights against the destroyers, Satan's group who entered the tabernacle of heaven, and won. As he fights and overcomes the group of the dragon, he will receive the 12 blessings in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that Jesus promised. He will receive the hidden manna as the food of life, the white stone as the right to judge, and the iron sceptre as authority to rule all nations. If so, what will happen after the one who overcomes fights and defeats the dragon?
In Revelation 12:10, it is said that through this victory God's kingdom, power, and salvation will come. By defeating the dragon that has captured all nations, God's work of salvation will come into existence, and the one who overcomes will harvest and seal to create the eternal new kingdom of God, the new nation, the 12 tribes of Shincheonji.
The expression in Revelation 12 that the dragon's tail sweeps 1/3 of the stars in the sky to the earth means that the false shepherds belonging to the dragon turns 1/3 of the congregation members of the tabernacle of heaven back to the flesh.
“It's the devil who corrupts the angel, and the child the dragon wants to swallow is Jesus”
Korean Church
Pastor A of the Presbyterian Church belonging to the Christian Council of Korea
“The fact that the dragon's tail throws a third of the stars to the earth means that Satan has attracted and corrupted one-third of the angels. The child the dragon wants to swallow is Jesus.”
