The One Who Overcomes and the Promise (Rv 2-3)
It was said that what was promised in Rv 2-3 will be given to the one who fights and overcomes Babylon, the opposers. What happens if [one] overcomes, and what happens if [one] is defeated? The results will be like Dt 28. The one who loses becomes the slave of the one who overcame. [God’s side] lost in Rv 13 but won in Rv 12. Have you seen this war?
The war of the New Covenant Revelation is irrelevant to the wars of the world. Since it is a spiritual war, it is a war of doctrines, that is, a religious war. The war between God and the devil has continued for 6,000 years after Adam’s sin. If Jesus had lost in the war against the devil at the time of the first coming, would Christianity exist today? However, this war in Revelation becomes the last war between God and the devil.
As seen in the Bible, due to the corruption of one era, a new era appeared. At this time, the number of people of the new era was small, and the number of people of the traditional churches—the subjects of the kingdom—was large. Likewise, today, too, the number of [people] of the traditional churches is greater than Shincheonji. Regarding today, Mt 8:11-12 stated that the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, and those who come from the east and the west will take their places (be seated) in the kingdom of heaven.
The subjects of the kingdom are the traditional churches, and those who came from the east and the west are those who have been harvested. Then, where is the kingdom of heaven? It is the church, that is, the temple, where those who have been harvested are gathered and where God is with. Also, between Rv 13 and Rv 15, which place would be the place where God is with? Between Rv 6, 8, 9 and Rv 7, 14, which place would be the place that God acknowledges? And at the end of the age, how many people survive? The answers are in the Bible (Rv 7 and Rv 20).
Have [you] been born of God’s seed and harvested, or have you not been harvested? Do [you] belong to the 12 tribes of the promised kingdom, or do you not? Also, it was said that if one adds to or subtracts from the book of Revelation, then he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. Did you add to or subtract from [it], or did you not? You yourself would know.
