Elementary Teaching and the Place of Maturity/
Perfection (Heb 6)
John said that the Word in the beginning is the way (path). Jesus, who is the Word, said that he is the way, the truth and the life (Jn 14:6).
Just as elementary education exists in the world, also in the word of the way of heaven, there is elementary teaching and there is the word and the actual entities of the mature (perfect) way. If I must give an example of this word, one can see it in Mt 13 and Revelation. The secrets of the kingdom of heaven were spoken in parables to keep them hidden from the enemy. Because God wrote the book of Revelation, the secret of the kingdom of heaven to be fulfilled, sealed it with seven seals, and kept it in His hand until the appointed time, there hasn’t been anyone in heaven or on earth who knew its meaning until now. What kind of things were recorded [in it] for this to be so?
If the meaning of the word recorded in this book (Revelation) and the actual entities of its prophecies appear, then it is because it became the appointed time, and God made them known. And they would be proclaimed to this world.
Let’s take a look at the logical order of the fulfillment of the prophecies of this book and the actual entities [that appear]. In order to understand this work, let’s first examine the work of Jesus who fulfilled the Old Testament (Ez 1, 2, 3). God came to Jesus, and He opened the scroll and fed it to Jesus. Jesus saw [God] fulfilling the prophecies of the scroll, and he also did the same (Jn 5:17-19).
Likewise, at the time of the fulfillment of the New Covenant Revelation, God gave the book sealed with seven seals to Jesus, and Jesus received this book and began removing the seven seals one by one in Rv 6. Each time he opened a seal, the actual entities of the prophecies appeared. “Have you seen this?” “That’s right, I have.”
“When Jesus was removing the seals one by one and fulfilling [the prophecies], was there someone who saw this?” “That’s right, there was [someone who saw it].” “Who was it?” “It was the person who was chosen in Rv 1, sent the letters in Rv 2-3, and saw all of the events of Revelation being fulfilled chapter by chapter (Rv 22:8). Why do you ask? Do you ask because you intend to believe, or do you ask because you intend not to believe and [instead] do the work of hindering? So, should such things take place, or shouldn’t they?”
At the time of the first coming, even though Jesus fulfilled all of the Old Testament (Jn 19:30), [the Jews] did not believe, and instead, they just tried to kill him. And then they killed him. Then today, would those who try to kill receive salvation, or would those who welcome (receive) him receive salvation? At the first coming, who took the initiative in trying to kill Jesus? It was the pastors of Israel (the Jews), who claimed that they believed in God the most. [I’m] talking about the pastors of Jerusalem. Yet today (the time of the second coming), who is conspiring and making accusations to try to kill whom? Despite seeing (witnessing) this right now, you still don’t know? You fool.
Now, like at the time of the first coming, who is all of Spiritual Israel struggling desperately to get rid of? Even after seeing it, you still don’t know?
When I worked for the sake of the whole world, for the sake of peace and cessation of war (overseas tours/missions), Jesus’ light of glory was always with me above my head. It was not just one or two people who saw this, but many people in various places saw this.
Do you know what the great light that came to me signifies?
My grandfather had a conception dream regarding my birth and named me before I was born—this name that I was called by after I was born is my name now. Heaven (sky) and earth grew dark in broad daylight. [My grandfather] named me “Light [熙]” because he saw the darkened sky opening and a light coming down onto my mother.
When I was young, I always prayed with my grandfather. My grandfather taught me that God exists in heaven and that He gives blessings. So, I believed the words of my grandfather and prayed to God.
I was born to a poor farming family in the countryside and had lived in poverty. After going to the military and finishing my service, I lived in a farmhouse in the countryside doing farm work and prayed to God in heaven every morning and evening [out] in the field.
When I was young, there was a star from heaven that was always above my head, even during the day. One night, when I was praying, a star that was even larger than the moon came down above my head. It was a bright, bright light. I was so astonished that I ran into the room and woke up my father. “A star came! A star came!” My father woke up and was also astonished when he went outside and saw the star. He said, “Ah~ that star is big.” Then he said that in the past, when a man of ability/value (an outstanding individual) was born in our country, a star would also appear, so [this star] is a sign that a great man of ability/value will appear in our country. This great star appeared every night for three nights, and through the guidance of this star, I made a promise with God in blood and began to carry out a life of faith.
I had never been evangelized by anyone until that time, and it was a time when I didn’t even know the Bible or any pastor.
“Where is this great star now? Do you know?” “I do (I know).”
Following God, Jesus, and their words, I established the 12 tribes (Rv 7), and following the will of Jesus (Lk 2:14, 19:38, 42), I became the messenger of peace for the global peace organization, Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), and went around the world 31 times proclaiming [world] peace and cessation of war.
The day I left Korea to tour each country in the world for the work of peace, I left after receiving a promise from God and Jesus; people from each country that we went to were astonished to see a great light that was with me above my head.
The people who saw the light requested to take a photo with me. I asked them why they wanted to take a photo. Their answer was, “In order to commemorate this.” When I asked, “Why with me?” They said, “We want to commemorate [this moment] because there is a great light with you above your head.” This kind of thing happened in various places around the world. [They] should still have those photos even now.
Would the star that guided the Magi (the wise men from the east) in the past be a star of the natural world? It would have been an angel or a spirit that belongs to God. That light that was with me was also the holy spirit of Jesus being with me according to the promise.
For a plain, lowly, ignorant countryman like myself to have mastered the Bible, established the 12 tribes, hosted World [Peace] Summits, and for the whole world to have believed in and followed [a person like me]—how could this be this person’s ability? This was Jesus using my foolish self to fulfill the new covenant that he promised in the New Testament. He said to believe this. Now, the kingdom of heaven and God will come down to the promised kingdom, the 12 tribes. This is true.
Within these words that I have recorded, which part would be the elementary teaching and which part would be the place of maturity (perfection) of the way? Answer me.
