Where Is the Kingdom of Heaven and How Can One Enter It

Was heaven in the spiritual world even before Adam sinned? God left (the physical world) and remained in the spiritual world because Adam sinned. Isn’t it from this time that this place (the spiritual world) became heaven? All people who live a life of faith do so to enter heaven. Where is this heaven? And how can one enter it without knowing anything about it?

It is said that both Jesus and Apostle John have been up to heaven and back (Jn 3:13, Rv 4). However, they didn’t say where this place was. Heaven is not a physical world, but a spiritual world. This means that it is not a tangible object that flesh can see or touch. Then, how can a person go to heaven? The Bible says that there are people who went up to and saw heaven in the spiritual world, and it also says that heaven doesn’t remain in the spiritual world but comes down to the physical world (Rv 3:12, 21).

Why is this place (the spiritual world) called the kingdom of heaven? Was that place called heaven when God was on this earth? No, it wasn’t. The spiritual world is called heaven because God’s kingdom left earth and remained there. Therefore, it is when the kingdom of heaven comes down from the spiritual world to the earth that we can say heaven has come. Jesus said heaven is near (Mt. 4:17) because the kingdom of heaven had come from the spiritual world to the earth.

God's purpose is not to live in the spiritual world (Ref. Mt 6:10, Rv 4:8). His purpose is to come to this earth which He created, reign over it, and restore it. As seen in Rv 3:12 and Rv 21, God and the kingdom of heaven come down to the re-created Shincheonji, New Heaven and New Earth, and are with them forever. Shincheonji is the new kingdom and new people re-created through God’s seed and Jesus’ blood.

Therefore, the people who go to the kingdom of heaven where God is, don’t do so by going up to the spiritual world. Going to the place on this earth that was created by God’s seed and Jesus’ blood is going to God and going to the kingdom of heaven (Jn 14:6). This is because God and the kingdom of heaven have come to this place (on earth) as mentioned above. At this place, the flesh of the earth and spirits of heaven become one as though married. It’s for this work that God’s seed and Jesus’ blood were needed. It is by this seed, blood, and the word of testimony that the enemy can be overcome (Rv 12:11).

The ripened wheat that grew from God’s seed that was sown about 2,000 years ago, is harvested and sealed at the time of the second coming. Just as it is said that the blood Jesus shed will not be eaten again until it is fulfilled in God’s kingdom (Lk 22:14-20), for 2,000 years it was not eaten. At this time when people are bought with Jesus’ blood to be made into a kingdom and priests, the blood is eaten in God’s kingdom by the 12 tribes of the 144,000 and the multitude in white (Rv 5:9-10, Rv 7:1-14). Therefore, Jesus’ blood was shed and God’s seed was sown for the sake of God’s kingdom and people.

Without this blood and seed, God's kingdom and people cannot exist and the four phases of birth, aging, sickness, and death cannot be resolved. It is only through the blood of Jesus, who is righteous, that sin can be resolved (Heb 10). Before the fulfillment of Revelation, everyone was a sinner and it was a time where mankind’s four stages of birth, aging, sickness, and death could not be resolved. Siddhartha was also a sinner and so sin was not resolvable through his blood. It is only by the blood of Jesus, who is righteous, that sin could be resolved. This is the solution to the four phases of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

The four phases of birth, aging, sickness, and death is not resolved through the blood of bulls, lambs, and sinners. It can only be resolved through the blood of Jesus, who is righteous. That is why the one and only son, Jesus, bore the cross and shed his blood. We can understand this by listening to Jesus’ prayer (Mt 26:39-46).

Seeing 6,000 years of God’s work, it was only Jesus’ blood that resolved sin, the devil, and the way to eternal life. The power of this blood comes into effect today, 2,000 years after Jesus bore the cross and shed his blood. Just as the words of promise in Lk 22:14-20, today, the 12 tribes of Rv 5 and Rv 7, the 144,000 and the multitude in white have become God’s new kingdom and new people and have eaten Jesus’ blood to enter into salvation. God has been working for the past 6,000 years for these people. Thank you, God.
