Testimony for the Holy Spirit: A Summary of 34 Years of Life After Receiving the Holy Spirit 1

Hallelujah! Good God the Father, I love you. Thank you. Through the precious blood of our Lord Jesus and the atoning love of the cross, this sinner has been saved. The Holy Spirit came as a gift and was with us. Although He saved a person who lived immersed in the world and caused him to be born again, I sometimes disobeyed and was stubborn, angering and hurting God. I was not always diligent. Since You patiently endured such a sinner and guided me to proclaim the truth of the Bible to the whole world, all glory belongs to the Triune God. May You alone receive all honor and glory! Two thousand years have passed since Jesus came to this earth. There are over two billion people on Earth who believe in Jesus. And various churches are zealously preaching the gospel to one another. I hope that, following the will of Jesus, they will overcome the limitations of doctrine and the church and become one. I desire that all saints, following the guidance of the Holy Spirit, fulfill the law and establish it firmly. I earnestly pray that the righteous demands of the law will be fulfilled. Therefore, I pray that the Kingdom of God, where the law is kept under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, will come to this earth soon. I pray that a kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy will be established. I also pray that the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ extends to the entire church, and that this world will be illuminated by the church's righteous life. I pray that the day of the Lord's coming will be a great joy for all believers. Lord! May the gospel of peace spread swiftly throughout the world, and may everyone know and keep it! I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus. Amen

Testimony for the Holy Spirit: A Summary of 34 Years of Life After Receiving the Holy Spirit

Shalom! The sweltering heat is raging. It is difficult to even go outside in the middle of the day. I pray in the name of Jesus that you may rest indoors while watching the national disaster alerts, and that this may be a blessed time for you to carefully read my long message. The elderly, in particular, will suffer the greatest harm from this heat; since there is still more than a month of such heat remaining, I earnestly pray and beseech you to exercise self-restraint and make this a blessed time for you to conquer the Epistle to the Romans for fifty million people. I am His instrument, chosen by Jesus to save all humanity and establish His kingdom. The message I convey is the work that Jesus intends to accomplish on this earth, delivered through me, His instrument, with the help of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the holy Spirit of God. It is also the Spirit of Jesus. He is one person of the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and is the Counselor who came to help us after Jesus resurrected and ascended. Although the disciples were greatly inspired after seeing the resurrected Jesus in person, Jesus did not give His final command to go immediately into the world. He told them to wait for the Holy Spirit, receive it, and preach the Gospel following the guidance of the Spirit. And believing this command, they gathered together in the Upper Room of Mark to listen to the Word, pray, and fellowship with one another. Then, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon each person's head like tongues of fire with the sound of a mighty wind, and they received the Holy Spirit as a gift. They also spoke in tongues and performed amazing miracles; they performed miracles where 3,000 to 5,000 people repented and believed in Jesus in a single sermon.

And they preached the Gospel without fear of death. However, while their burning love and conviction for Jesus played a part, they never acted according to their own intentions or desires; instead, they preached the Gospel under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, putting to death and overcoming all their own selfish desires. In the midst of this, Paul joined them, and a notable point is that he came to believe in Jesus as a scholar of the law well-versed in the law. At that time, the scribes were the very people who opposed Jesus' words and crucified Him. However, the resurrected Jesus Himself came, brought Paul to repentance, and enabled him to receive the Holy Spirit. Only then did he realize that the contents of the Old Testament were all words about Jesus. He came to fully understand and believe that Jesus is the living Son of God and the Savior, and like other disciples of Jesus, he preached the gospel to the Gentiles under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The center of his ministry was the cross of Jesus; he remained faithful with a single heart until his martyrdom, believing in Jesus, receiving salvation, and the Holy Spirit, and being guided by the Spirit to establish the Kingdom of God on this earth.

I was a man of the world who knew nothing about Jesus, the church, or the Bible; I was deeply immersed in Buddhism, well-versed in Confucianism, majored in Public Administration, and aspired to become a high-ranking bureaucrat after passing the civil service exam. However, a single Bible handed to me by an evangelist transformed me in this way. It was not that I repented by reading the Bible on my own; rather, God came and compelled me to read the Bible, bringing about my repentance. It took me only a few minutes to read the Bible and repent. When the God of power comes, even the hardest of people are transformed instantly—this is the power of the Almighty God. Five years later, I was baptized in the name of Jesus, and in the spring of 1992, at Seonmin Church in Sinlim-dong, I received the fire that Jesus breathed out.

When the Holy Spirit came, all worldly matters were forgotten. I loved the Bible, I began speaking in tongues, and things I had never imagined before began to happen. When I laid my hands on the sick and prayed, God healed them, and He healed many people. My tongues became interpreted, and I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit without ceasing. He speaks to me every day without ceasing to this day. I listen and intend to live accordingly. God prepared everything so that I could work as a banker, serve in KATUSA, and study Public Administration well at university and graduate school, enabling me to study effectively. He gave me eight years of opportunity to learn well not only Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, International Law, and Civil Law, but also social science subjects such as Economics and Political Science. I studied intensively for 13 hours a day. And He led me to attend theological graduate school for seven years while going through various experiences. And I became a pastor. I studied theology in the Presbyterian Church and currently serve as a pastor in an independent denomination.

I have preached about Jesus without ceasing. I have also devoted myself to reading and organizing the Bible. Please refer to all these materials, as they are available on *Romans of Fifty Million*. After becoming a pastor, I did not engage in ministry but worked a job to support my family, evangelize, read and organize the Bible, and began sharing this content on *Romans of Fifty Million* about eight years ago. Currently, it appears that approximately 500,000 people from 120 countries have viewed this, and about 200 people visit my blog and online community every day. The most important guidance from the Holy Spirit is to love God with all my heart, all my strength, and all my mind, and He has taught me the Bible well, starting from Genesis. Throughout my approximately 40 years of faith, He has guided me to understand things step-by-step, in order. I have uploaded all of this to *Romans of Fifty Million* by date, by new release, and in the order God gave it to me. Furthermore, He led me to organize this comprehensively, which is summarized as the Gospel of Peace, the Light of the East, and Abraham's Great Sword. I have preached the gospel without ceasing, guided by the Holy Spirit to everyone I meet every day. I have also been joyfully reading and organizing the Bible for over 25 years. During this time, I have always been poor; I was made to experience injustice countless times in the lowest places and witness the preciousness of the Law. Furthermore, I was led to proclaim the Gospel of Peace to the whole world. The materials on the Gospel of Peace below are being sent to 650 to 700 people, including theologians from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton; professors at Oxford, Gamebridge, and seminaries in Australia and Canada; and professors from 10 to 11 seminaries in Korea. Since this message is being sent to the most famous theologians in the world, I believe that the whole world will come to know it, believe it, and act accordingly. I earnestly hope that you will refrain from going out during this hot summer and that this will be a blessed time for you to understand the Gospel of Peace. First, I present the original English text.

Gospel of Peace: Light of the East, Abraham's Great Sword

Shalom! It is April 2026, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom throughout Korea.

I traveled from Seoul to Gunsan, and the cherry blossoms, which I believed would have already fallen, are still blooming beautifully. When the time comes, nature brightens the whole world beautifully like this without deceiving us with the seasons, and signals the change of seasons. However, the world where people live is busy, yet also shabby. The President of Korea is currently under attack from the Israeli government after criticizing Israel. Israel is a small country located in the Middle East, and its people are the most superior, resembling our people in many ways; we have gotten along well until now, so I do not understand why he is suffering such a setback after criticizing this country.

Shalom! It is all God's grace and glory that someone who did not even know Jesus has come to share a new understanding of the Bible with the whole world. It has been about 40 years. In my 20s, when I was full of self-confidence and moving forward without hesitation, I worked as a bank employee. After being discharged from KATUSA, I entered university late and studied for the Civil Service Examination. I was overflowing with confidence that I could do anything. And those 40 years have flown by like a dream. Most people in Korea like me work hard, get married, have and raise children, and earn a good income; by their late 60s, they have secured their livelihoods to some extent and are at an age where they are thinking about their retirement. I studied at university and graduate school, then theological seminary, and I evangelized, read and organized the Bible. I also worked here and there on a salary barely enough to make ends meet. It was also commonplace for me to be fired from my job while evangelizing. I prayed and pondered for a moment, knowing that those reading this long 200-page text need the motivation to endure it.

I served in KATUSA and also worked as a bank employee. I worked in each for about three years. I majored in Public Administration at university and prepared for the Civil Service Examination. After passing the first round twice and seeing that I was going to get accepted, suddenly 50 women came in for pre-marital meetings. For about eight years, I studied Public Administration for 13 hours a day, along with Economics, Politics, Korean History, Psychology, Constitutional Law, and various other laws. This is something anyone can experience. However, I received fire from Jesus. Jesus is the Creator of heaven and earth. It is extremely rare to experience Him giving fire. Most people receive the same fire in various ways; it descends upon believers through the laying on of hands or other methods. While Jesus gives it all, for me, Jesus came and gave it to me. It is the same fire of the same power. I am also learning English in various ways. Now, there are likely very few people who have had an experience like mine. Furthermore, having received the fire of the Holy Spirit, I have been evangelizing without rest for about 34 years. I have also been reading and organizing the Bible for over 25 years. I have not served as a pastor. I have led a family life and a professional life. I have done a variety of things. Amidst all this, God tirelessly enabled me to understand the contents of the Bible, and I took notes without ceasing, missing a single thing. It comes to anyone. When reading the Bible, realization comes through the same grace for most people. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. For me, it comes constantly. I stopped everything and took notes with the determination not to miss a single thing. Then, starting about nine years ago, I uploaded them to the "Romans for 50 Million" blog and Daum Cafe. 500,000 people from 120 countries have seen them. About 200 people read them every day without rest. I believe that soon the whole world will see them. Theologians, pastors, elders, deaconesses, Catholics, and Protestants alike; and since it has been translated into English, the entire world—including the US, UK, China, Japan, and India—is seeing them. I believe the day will come when there is no one on Earth who does not know this. The one who sees it first and enjoys it first is the one who receives blessings and leads the way. When you hear and see what I convey, and then listen to a sermon by someone else, that sermon will now take on a completely different meaning. I pray that you read with passion and lead the way. When you are the only one who does not know what everyone else knows, and you preach it to the whole world with faith, the shame will be indescribable. Countless people will suffer this shame and disappear. It is still better to know wrongly and live rightly. However, those who live in a mess even with wrong knowledge will be disgraced on the entire earth. The time is coming. The salvation of Israel will come, and the day will come when everyone becomes one. And the Lord will come magnificently, receiving the welcome and praise of all, and known to the whole world. I believe we should be people who rejoice at His coming.

The Bible is an amazing and wondrous book that transcends imagination. People do not see or hear treasures because they do not know them, but those who truly desire to find them read it a hundred or a thousand times. They even transcribe it by hand. They pour all their devotion into digging for treasures within the Bible. To such people, my writings will truly be refreshing rain, renewing their spirits and making their hearts beat vigorously. You only need to read for an hour or two. The content that I took 40 years to understand through the process mentioned above will flow exactly as it is into thirsty hearts by God's grace. This is God's desire and my hope. I pray that this will be the case for everyone.

Theologians seek the amazing power of the Bible. After completing all preparatory studies, they dedicate their lives to theological research. Then, they train pastors at seminaries. Pastors study theology and acquire a strong foundation in general disciplines, feeding and nurturing believers in various ways through the Bible. While believers generally listen to the pastor's sermons, they also learn and study the Bible both individually and collectively. Across the globe, billions of people spend tens of billions of their time reading the Bible every day. They do so with the hope of encountering and unearthing treasures, as there are treasures to be mined within the Bible. Furthermore, 500 years ago, Luther unearthed a treasure in the Book of Romans that had remained largely unknown for 1,500 years of Christian history. It is the truth of being justified by faith. The whole world responded, and currently, 700 million people believe and follow it. However, since the Bible is the Word of God and believers understand it through the perspective of the Holy Spirit, God reveals the secrets of His Word to them through the Holy Spirit, sometimes even providing content that can change history.

I hope that all theologians, pastors, believers, and Bible researchers will unearth treasures from the Bible. And that treasure is none other than our Lord Jesus. The Bible, encompassing both the Old and New Testaments, is not only the words of Jesus and an explanation of Him, but also a message regarding His coming and His work, as well as the message of how Jesus saves the saints and establishes His kingdom together with them. Theologians study Jesus, pastors bear witness to Him, and believers establish God's kingdom on this earth by living their lives according to His words. Therefore, to unearth treasures from the Bible, we must first pay close attention to the words of Jesus. Furthermore, we must identify the person who has understood Jesus' words best in human history. Who is that? First, among theologians, there are scholars of both Catholicism and Protestantism such as Augustine, Luther, and Calvin. Among pastors and priests, there are figures like Wesley, Cho Yong-gi, Popes, and saints. Theologians read all of their writings. Protestant theologians read all the writings of Catholic scholars, and priests read the writings of Protestant pastors. In the past, during Luther's time—about 500 years ago—there was no Bible. Countries did not possess Bibles translated into their own languages. Although the Roman and Orthodox Churches translated the Bible into Latin and Russian, respectively, most countries did not possess a Bible, making it difficult for laypeople to access and read it. However, Luther translated the Bible into German. It has also been translated into English and various other languages by diverse people, and there are more than five correct translations in Korean.

Now, everyone simply needs to read the Bible and dig for treasures. However, while pastors and theologians possess a certain level of expertise in researching and preaching the Bible, laypeople read the Bible within the limitations imposed by them. Furthermore, they do not study the Bible professionally, nor is their study sufficient. This is because they lack the same opportunities to preach the Word as these individuals do. However, if they become elders, deaconesses, or teachers, they learn a little more. Koreans are the most zealous people in the world when it comes to learning. Consequently, all Christians are fervently engaged in Bible study. Nevertheless, material investment in this area is minimal, and most people read the Bible alone to receive grace and understand it. And while we all read the Bible, we can never escape from significant limitations. The person who broke those limitations was Luther. At a time when the whole world was living by the doctrines of Catholicism and Orthodoxy, someone thought, "Oh, that’s strange," and proposed a new doctrine. Calvin logically organized this well.

I was an ordinary person with absolutely no such background, studying for the civil service exam and intending to research Buddhism. I knew nothing about Jesus, the church, or the Bible. The fact that such a person has come to convey a new understanding of the Bible to the whole world is solely due to God's calling and work. It is His immeasurable grace. That calling is the Bible of the evangelist. When the Bible was placed in my room, God came with awe. And He compelled me to read the Bible. The living words of the Bible reflected my heart like a mirror and brought me to repentance. God’s coming comes with fear. Then, I received a baptism in the name of Jesus, and fire descended from Jesus. And as I evangelized, read and organized the Bible, and shared it, a new understanding of the Bible came to me, and I share it with everyone. Furthermore, I am a pastor who separated from my Catholic wife, remarried a Russian national from an Orthodox country, and now lives with a son. Therefore, although it lacked depth, it served as an opportunity to understand both Catholicism and Orthodoxy, and I remained unbiased toward either side. Regarding the limitations of doctrine, I belonged to neither side thanks to God's consideration. Although I am a Protestant pastor and studied theology, I was more interested in reading, organizing, and understanding the Bible, and in evangelizing.

I have come this far through the hand of God, who has firmly held me without belonging to any one side. Every believer and every Korean can live this way. Why is that? With most people having at least a high school education, reading the Bible in Korean and English, and aided by various devices, absolutely everyone could become a researcher greater than Luther or Calvin. However, the method is the problem. For example, when studying the meaning of salvation, reading the soteriologies of various scholars provides a certain level of understanding, and those educated in seminary know it more deeply. However, if you open a translated Bible, go into the search function, and type in the word "salvation," it finds every verse in the Old and New Testaments containing "salvation" within seconds, allowing you to copy and study them. You can view in ten seconds what would have taken Luther or Calvin years or decades to accomplish. Now, looking at over 250 passages containing the word "salvation," I broadly classify its various uses. I found that there are about 10 representative meanings. This is the power of modern technology, not theology or research. I have organized and posted this. First, there are meanings such as to rescue, to save, to liberate, to set free, to heal, to escape from problems, and to restore. Therefore, it is understood as Jesus rescuing us from sin, bringing us to life from death, restoring us to the place of eternal life we had forgotten, and setting us free from the bondage of sin, death, and the law.

You should view the Holy Spirit in the same way. I declare that with the amazing aid of diverse study methods, materials, and modern devices, all believers can attain an understanding of the Bible that surpasses even Luther and Calvin. It is a gift given by God to all humanity. Those who receive it and mine for treasure will enjoy the joy of digging for it, along with the meaning of the treasure of truth in this world, and will enjoy eternal life as great people in heaven. Furthermore, if they live righteously themselves and have family and pastors who believe in them, they will lead all believers to the right path. Believers receive such blessings if they meet a good pastor, and pastors likewise receive blessings if they meet believers who receive the Holy Spirit, are guided by the Spirit to be faithful to the church, and live righteously in the world. However, when a sinner comes to church through evangelism, a pastor must nurture them so that they grow as believers. This is the mission of a pastor. To become such a shepherd, one must study theology, conduct research, and read many books, but the most important model to follow is the Apostle Paul. The same applies to believers. In history, he is by far the foremost when it comes to understanding the Bible—specifically, understanding Jesus. He was excellent at evangelism, established the church, and governed it well; his understanding of the Word was so profound that he left behind letters that make up half of the New Testament. It is clear that this man will serve as a role model. Furthermore, theologians, regardless of whether they are Catholic or Protestant, all desire to know Paul well. Those who wish to emulate him must first pay attention to the words of Jesus, who called, raised, established, and used this man in this way. This is the overall preparatory study for the journey toward the "great sword of Abraham" that I am about to explain.

First, we look at Matthew 13:52. Many people are aware that Matthew 13 is the chapter on parables. However, these parables lack explanation from Jesus and are often overlooked. Yet, the secret to Paul becoming Paul lies in this verse; therefore, anyone who wishes to read the Bible well, understand it well, or become like Paul must necessarily understand this passage. Anyone who studies theology and ministers without understanding this verse will likely face numerous problems. From now on, not a single person should dare to share the Word without understanding this passage. I assert this with certainty that anyone who does not meet this standard must absolutely not share the Word with believers or students. A person lacking this foundation will truly not understand the Bible properly, even if they study it for a lifetime. The Bible is deeper and wider than the entire universe. Therefore, one may become a theologian, a pastor, or the head of a megachurch by looking at just one part of it; while they may gather many followers, they still fall short of the core of the Bible. They are merely going around the surface, pretending to be a scholar or a pastor.

I believe there are about four people who convey the same message as I do. One is someone who, about ten years ago, told me that the Bible is the law in a single word. Although I now believe his words are correct, I have not explained the meaning behind them. The other is a law student at Korea University. By what ability, without any study, he accurately explained Romans 1:17, which I have spent decades understanding. It was a passage that resolved a 500-year debate between Catholicism and Protestantism. I will share this. He explained this content to me without any prior learning. Another person was a pastor who preached a sermon titled "If the Saints Are Not More Righteous Than the Jews," based on Matthew 5:17-20. As I listened to the sermon, I realized he was someone I absolutely had to meet. I posted this text several years ago, but comments were disabled. There is also a pastor who has passed away who asks how to love. He is someone who stated that living according to the law—that is, according to the Law—is love. He also published a book, but he released it very cautiously given the atmosphere in Korea. I believe that the approximately 500,000 readers from 120 countries who have read my writings are, to some extent, aware of the new understanding of the Bible that I am conveying. Surprisingly, not a single person has offered a dissenting opinion for the past ten years. Since this is a long text, the preliminary study is a bit lengthy. Now, let's look at the text. If you look at it in various versions, and in English, you can understand it quite well without any theological or biblical research. It is a blessing enjoyed by all Koreans today. It is God's love and blessing for this nation. I bless you in the name of Jesus that you receive and enjoy this blessing.

Because I was born in Korea and educated in a Protestant church, I had no opportunity to encounter these contents. Although I studied theology and became a pastor, I was unable to study the Pentateuch in depth. The fact that the majority of the Pentateuch consists of legal provisions felt unfamiliar to me. The sacrificial system, the Tabernacle and Temple, and aspects distinct from Korean culture were also new to me. Furthermore, Korean Protestantism was deeply interested in the doctrine of "faith alone" and the blessings received by Abraham. As the economy recovered from the ruins of war, all Koreans earnestly longed for material blessings. From dawn until dusk, the entire congregation prayed fervently to God to bestow blessings. God heard these prayers and developed Korea into a global economic powerhouse. However, I could not be swept up in this atmosphere. This was because I was always poor and failed at everything I attempted. Moreover, belonging to the lowest rung of society, I had neither money nor power. For an educated person who had graduated from two graduate schools, enduring the hardships of inequality experienced in such a low place of the world was truly difficult. The world was so unjust that I could find no hope for a just world. I wanted to believe in Jesus, live righteously, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on this earth, but because the world was so disorderly and unjust, I saw no hope. After God allowed me to experience such frustration, He guided me to focus on the Law. Only when I looked to the Law did hope spring forth. I gained the hope of establishing God's righteous Kingdom on this earth. Hallelujah! The Law was the law that enabled the Kingdom of Heaven to stand on this earth, and it was a law that was so fair and just. I naturally became an advocate of the Law. I became a praiser of the Law. And God guided me with the light of the East and the great sword of Abraham. Now, let us return to Matthew 13:52.

Matthew 13:52 Jesus said, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a house owner who brings out of his storeroom new things and old things.”

52. Jesus concluded his words by saying, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old things.” (Korean Version)

마 13:52 예수께서 이르시되 그러므로 천국의 제자된 서기관마다 마치 새것과 옛것을 그 곳간에서 내오는 집주인과 같으니라

52. 예수께서는 이렇게 말씀을 맺으셨다. "그러므로 하늘 나라의 교육을 받은 율법학자는 마치 자기 곳간에서 새 것도 꺼내고 낡은 것도 꺼내는 집주인과 같다

52. He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.” (NIV)

52. Jesus said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a house owner who brings out of his storeroom new things and old things.” (Another Korean Version)

52. 예수께서 그들에게 말씀하셨다. "그러므로, 하늘 나라를 위하여 훈련을 받은 율법학자는 누구나 자기 곳간에서 새 것과 낡은 것을 꺼내는 집주인과 같다."

52. And He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.” (English Version)

I will explain it simply so that everyone can understand. Jesus said. Therefore, all scribes (scholars and teachers who have learned and taught the Old Testament Pentateuch law well) who have been educated by Jesus or by a teacher who knows well about the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of God become just as Jesus takes out the treasures of the Old Testament from the treasure storehouse of the Word and distributes them according to the times, and also takes out the treasures of the New Testament Word and gives them. In other words, a teacher who has learned the Old Testament well—just like a teacher who teaches the Law—and who has also learned well about Heaven, that is, the New Testament, from Jesus or a good teacher, plays the role of Jesus distributing the Old and New Testament words to the saints according to the times. That is to say, it means that all New Testament saints, pastors, and theologians who are not proficient in the Law like scribes are absolutely incapable of performing a ministry identical to that of Jesus. This is a statement that can be understood as meaning they cannot feed the sheep by distributing the Old and New Testament words according to the times, just as Jesus did. The reason Jesus spoke these words is that His servants who will deliver His word must first learn the Old Testament well, like scribes. And then, He must also learn the words of Jesus’ New Testament well. Thus, He is telling them to feed the sheep the Old and New Testaments that He preaches appropriately according to the times. Our Lord sometimes [speaks] Isaiah He explains. And He fully explains that the words of the Old Testament are all words about Himself. And Jesus, who is the Word, has become the New Testament itself through His actions, His words, and all its contents. Those who wish to carry out the ministry of Jesus must first learn the Law well, just like the scribes. This means that no pastor or theologian without a solid foundation in the Law—that is, the Pentateuch—can truly teach the Bible as Jesus did. It is a strict and fearsome message with no exceptions.

In Korea, Catholicism has a history of about 400 years, while Protestantism has only about 150 years. Therefore, our understanding of the Bible may still be at a rudimentary level. Although there are many churches, pastors, theologians, and believers, things that require time cannot be accomplished without time passing. We have far more of a road ahead than the Bible translated into English. The Apostle Paul was the person who best fit these conditions, yet he instead committed acts that were the greatest adversaries to Jesus. Paul, who came to his senses after Jesus came in person and made him a new person once and for all, and who was born again by the Holy Spirit, understands the words of Jesus. He understands the Old Testament through the perspective of the Holy Spirit, and, just like Jesus, uses both the New and Old Testaments simultaneously to write letters and feed the saints. We nurture. And although 2,000 years have passed, we must clarify this content again. We are revealing again the content that the Apostle Paul already enjoyed and preached. Please view this without prejudice and discern well. In a broad sense, the Law refers to the Pentateuch, and in a narrow sense, it can be described as the 613 ordinances of the Law. When the Bible speaks of "Law and Prophecy," it refers to the Pentateuch and the books called the Prophets, and it can also refer to the entire Old Testament.

In the text below, I mainly use the term "Law" or "Law" to refer to the Law in a narrow, narrow sense. I have much to learn regarding the use of terminology in this area. Further research is needed regarding the meaning when Jesus speaks of the Law. Now, as you review this content, please proceed to the longer text and read it with patience. I bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus, that you may make great progress in your new understanding of the Bible through the Lord's comfort and presence.

The short three verses of Romans 1:17 contain the entire content of Genesis chapters 12 through 26. They contain the entire content of Habakkuk chapter 3. Without an understanding of the Old Testament, this verse is absolutely impossible to understand. It is impossible. Regarding Romans 7:6, one must first examine Paul's law-centered life before believing in Jesus. Furthermore, one must consider his entire 20 years of experience guided by the Holy Spirit. Matthew 13:52 also requires an understanding of the law held by the scribes of the Old Testament. Romans 4:17 requires an understanding of the entire Old Testament. One must have an understanding of the Kingdom of God that was sought to be established through the law. In particular, one must observe the state of the entire nation established by David, which faithfully kept the law under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is absolutely difficult to understand the New Testament without a complete understanding of the Old Testament. Conversely, it is absolutely difficult to understand the entirety of the Old Testament without an understanding of the New Testament. Therefore, I believe that a correct understanding of the Bible can only be achieved by learning both the Old and New Testaments well simultaneously. Any pastor or theologian who understands this principle, even slightly, can never speak carelessly about the law. Doing so would be disrespectful to God. That is why, even in the New Testament era, people continue to praise the law without ceasing, just as the people of the Old Testament did throughout their lives. A New Testament saint, pastor, or theologian who lacks praise for the Law and the Pentateuch is... Everyone is in the midst of a huge problem. I hope you read all my writings carefully and break free from this disrespect toward God. Now, whether days or months pass, I hope you fully understand my writings.

※ Introduction to Abraham's Great Sword

The figure who comes to mind when thinking of Israel is Abraham. President Lincoln was also named after him. He is a figure from the Old Testament, and anyone who reads the Bible and believes in God knows him very well. However, for me, a Korean living in Korea, it seems to have been over 20 years since the phrase "Abraham's great sword" suddenly came to mind. I knew Abraham because he is in the Bible, but since the phrase "Abraham's great sword"—combining the word "sword"—doesn't appear in the Bible and is never used by anyone, I simply dismissed it, wondering what it was, and moved on. And I forgot about it. I lived like that until recently, when I studied Genesis in English and uploaded it to the internet, which allowed me to look at Abraham's life in greater detail. As I wrote this, I suddenly remembered the phrase "Abraham's sword" appearing to me in the past, and I realized that this was absolutely no coincidence and that I must understand it. I came to realize that it holds meaning, and that meaning is of paramount importance to all humanity. I bless you in the name of Jesus, that everyone reading this today may hold "Abraham's great sword" in their hearts as they view the world, understand it, and become a leader. Although the world does not yet recognize me and I do not receive much attention in the church, in the future, any Christian who does not know "Abraham's great sword" will be treated as a backward being who has not yet fully understood the Bible.

We call the Bible the Word. And we call it the Word of God. And it is said that the Word is living and sharper than a two-edged sword. Let us see directly from the Bible that the Word of Scripture is like a two-edged sword.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (NIV).

Countless people have been transformed by the word of God. When this word falls into a person's heart, because it is alive, it brings that person to repentance, strengthens them, and causes them to be born anew. The reasons why believers in Jesus go to a cathedral or church every Sunday are, first, to worship God, and second, to hear the word of the Bible through priests or pastors. Pastors and priests deeply understand the word of the Bible and expound upon it through sermons and preaches so that the congregation can easily receive and partake of it. And by hearing this word, they repent of their wrongdoings and gain new strength, enduring another week by the power of this word, loving and living righteously in an unrighteous world. Furthermore, Ephesians directly describes the Bible as a sword, specifically the sword of the word of the Spirit.

Eph. 6:13 Therefore take up the full armor of God, that in the evil day you It is so that you may be able to stand, and having done all, to stand firm.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace,

16 above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the evil one,

17 and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 Pray at all times in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication. For this purpose be watchful and persistent in prayer, and pray for all the saints. (NIV)

I believe that you have now come to accept to some extent that the Word of Scripture is indeed a sword—that is, a blade—and the sword of the Spirit. And it is said that this sword is sharp, piercing and dividing the human heart. The human heart is not even an inch in size, yet it is said to be unknowable and unchangeable. In other words, because it is so difficult for a person to change, they are described as being like a stone or stubborn. Since it cuts and divides such a heart, the power of the Word of Scripture transcends our imagination. However, since the Bible is expressed as a sword, if one speaks of Abraham's great sword... I believe you will soon understand this in light of the biblical passage about Abraham. However, since it is described as a "great sword," it implies that it possesses the power to change the hearts of many people, nations, and countries. For example, if we look at the war between Iran and Israel that we are currently experiencing, it is difficult to comprehend. Given its long historical background, political and military implications, and the fact that it is not merely a conflict between a single nation but involves the interests of countries like the United States, China, North Korea, and even South Korea, one cannot help but view it as such. In reality, the United States has intervened in this war and is devastating Iran. Furthermore, the President of South Korea has posted a message criticizing the actions of the Israeli military and is currently facing an official attack from the Israeli government. The forces supporting the President will sympathize with his remarks and support his statement that Israeli soldiers are committing evil acts, without knowing the historical, political, and military background. The media will also immediately propagate this perspective to the whole world. I believe that listening to my explanation today will serve as an opportunity for everyone to accurately grasp these issues.

However, pastors and priests who teach people with the word of the Bible are all people who wield a sword. Some people die, while others live, from the sword they swing. This means that while one must learn the sword of the Holy Spirit’s Word well and use it accurately, one must also convey it according to the will of God, who is love and justice. In the Bible, the priest corresponds to the pastor; if a pastor preaches the Word incorrectly and claims that one must be loyal to the pastor to receive blessings, it is tantamount to making believers, who should be looking only to God, feel intimidated by an imperfect person—that is, the pastor. In these last days, it is no exaggeration to say that whether believers walk the right path, practice love, and establish the Kingdom of God on this earth depends entirely on this ministry of the Word. Furthermore, it is through individual believers zealously receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit, humbly reading, meditating on, and practicing the Bible Day and night, that they come to enter into that deep world of the Word. I bless you all in the name of Jesus that you make the great sword Abraham possessed your own today, use it in battle against the great evil of the world, and walk the path of great victory. Hallelujah!

First, if you wish to preach the Word of the Bible well, you must learn this Word well. Everyone certainly learns and conveys the Word of the Bible in various ways. However, who is the one who has conveyed the Word of the Bible most accurately, at the most appropriate time, and with the most power in history? It is none other than Jesus, the true author of the Bible. If anyone learns well and conveys it exactly as Jesus did, it is the most accurate and powerful. But why is Jesus the author of the Bible? Although Jesus came in human form, He is fundamentally the very essence of God and the Son of the living God, thus He is the Triune God. Furthermore, He is the One who inspired the author who recorded all the Scriptures. This God-being Jesus came and, during His three-year public ministry, called disciples, healed many sick people, and taught about the Kingdom of Heaven, salvation, and human life through His Word; these words constitute His deeds, namely the Four Gospels. Knowing who Jesus is through these Four Gospels and the entire Bible is also crucial for a correct understanding of the Scriptures. Knowing well who Jesus is through the Old and New Testaments is precisely what constitutes a correct understanding of the Bible. The Bible consists of the Old and New Testaments; the people of Israel lived for approximately 3,500 to 4,000 years centered on the Old Testament, while the New Testament is a record of events following the coming of Jesus. The doctrinal disputes between Catholicism and Protestantism over the same scripture, and the conflicts between Israel and Christians regarding the same Old Testament, stem from differences in their understanding of Abraham. Even the conflicts between Israel and Christians, as well as between Arab empires and Islam, are fundamentally rooted in this understanding of Abraham. Since a correct understanding of this directly resolves their conflicts, the term "Abraham's great sword" is the most fitting description for this understanding.

However, a truly complete understanding of Abraham is only possible when one properly learns both the New Testament and the Old Testament through Jesus. Yet, Israel and the Arab empires acknowledge the Old Testament and Abraham's life but reject the New Testament and Jesus; consequently, they cannot resolve their conflicts even when they arise. Consequently, for thousands of years, they have been in antagonism, waging ceaseless wars, killing one another, and enslaving one another. Therefore, the path to resolving the conflicts of the entire world lies in understanding Abraham—that is, the Old Testament—through Jesus. However, while one can understand Jesus to some extent by reading the four Gospels, one can never fully understand His true nature without an understanding of the Old Testament. Therefore, believers living in the New Testament must learn the Old Testament well, and both Israel and the Arab empires must learn well about the New Testament and Jesus.

First, if you look closely at the four Gospels of the New Testament, you will see that Jesus set an example of who He is, what His teachings are, and how He teaches. Everyone who wishes to learn God's Word well and share it must pay attention to these words of Jesus. Furthermore, Jesus said that He is the Word who was in the beginning. And He speaks of His ancestor Abraham, who passed away about 2,000 years ago, worshipping Jesus.

John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2. He was with God in the beginning.

3. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.

4. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day; he saw it and was glad.

57 The Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and yet you have seen Abraham?”

58 Jesus said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” (NIV)

Jesus is the Son of the living God. In other words, He is both man and God. When I read the Gospel of Matthew, the Holy Spirit made me realize that Jesus is the Son of the living God. Our Lord Jesus is God who came in human form. He loved us. Therefore, to save us sinners, He stood in our place where we ought to shed blood and die because of our sins; He was nailed to the cross and died. He was pierced with a spear. The day before He bore the cross, He was scourged. And His hands and feet were nailed. Because of the sins of you and me, Jesus died on our behalf, bearing the punishment we deserved. That is why we receive forgiveness for our sins by believing in Jesus and believing Him as our Savior. Furthermore, as believers, we are justified when we believe in Jesus day by day and live a life worthy of that faith. We are saved by faith and justified by a daily life worthy of that faith. I will elaborate on this at length. Abraham's justification began when He was told to leave his native land, his relatives, and his father's house; he followed God's command and left his homeland. He was 75 years old at the time. He left because he believed in God. And God comes again in Genesis chapter 15. And when He promises descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, one is justified by believing this. This happened while Abraham remembered God and lived according to His commands for nearly ten years, after he had left upon receiving His initial command. However, the God whom Abraham believed in becomes the Creator of heaven and earth, and He is the Father of our Lord. He also states that the Son worked together with the Father in this creation of heaven and earth. Furthermore, Jesus holds the status of the Word who existed in the beginning. The New and Old Testaments also testify about the Son of God. The Bible is also the Word of God. And the Word of God is alive and is also the sword of the Spirit.

The Word of the Bible is a sword and a blade; this Word includes verse by verse, words spoken directly by God to us, as well as words given through people or events. "Abraham's sword" refers to God's word given to us throughout Abraham's entire life found in Genesis chapters 12 through 26; it was named "Abraham's great sword" not merely as a verse, but as a message that penetrates and summarizes his entire life of approximately 100 years of walking with God. However, regarding Abraham's life, the multitude of his descendants—like the star of Israel—had ample time—about 4,000 years after his death—to learn and study it thoroughly, and to make his life the model for their own living. Later, with the coming of Jesus, the Catholic Church had the opportunity to learn about Abraham for about 2,000 years, while Protestantism for about 500 years, and the Greco-Russian Orthodox Church for about 1,000 years—through their long histories—they have studied Abraham's life by examining the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. The reality is that they have been researching without the slightest rest. Through their amazing, great, and long history, they have sometimes argued and sometimes put their heads together to study God's word. Today in Korea, we aim to unite all of them by studying and contemplating this word together. This means that we realize that the very day we live is 2,000 years after the coming of Jesus, and that the time has finally come to fully understand these words exactly as they are. In other words, through these words, God intends to make all of humanity one from this very moment. I invite you to join this amazing and great journey. Please stay with us until the end, and I bless you in the name of Jesus that all Christians in Korea may become the protagonists of such amazing and powerful words. Hallelujah!!

※ Basic Qualifications for Possessing Abraham's Sword: Repentance, Baptism in the Name of Jesus, Forgiveness of Sins, Gift of the Holy Spirit, Evangelism, and Understanding the Bible

I, who convey this message to the whole world through writing, was a young man about 40 years ago who knew absolutely nothing about God, the Bible, the church, or Jesus. I was a good student who entered a bank, served in KATUSA (Korean Augmentation Troops to the U.S. Army), and after being discharged, I studied further. With the goal of becoming a high-ranking civil servant, I entered university late and studied for the Civil Service Examination in the mountains. I did not know what sin was, and I burned my youth to pass the exam, intending to provide the ideological foundation for unification. The fact that I, who was like this, have become someone who conveys this message stems entirely from the evangelism of Elder Kim Seong-su. Elder Kim Seong-su, who was an elder at Banseok Church in Jangyu, Gimhae, gave me a single Bible without saying a word. This simple event led me to become a person who preaches the Word. Then, Almighty God came and compelled me to read the Bible. When I read the passage from 1 Corinthians 13, the chapter on love, I saw that I was completely fallen and a sinner. For five years, I cast aside all my previous thoughts and actions, meditated solely on love, and repented. This also happened because Almighty God made me see the profound wrongness of my own sins, automatically leading me to live a life of five years of repentance. Then, I received baptism in the name of Jesus, officiated by Pastor Sung Kyung-seok, and was forgiven of all my past sins. Since I had passed the first round of the Civil Service Examination in 1991—the year I was baptized—I attended Seonmin Church in Sillim-dong the following year, 1992, while preparing for the second round. While Pastor Park Ki-soo was preaching at this church, Jesus came and breathed fire upon me, and I received the Holy Spirit. That year, I failed the second round of the exam by just one point, so I gave up on the exam, studied the Bible and theology, and thus became a pastor. After living with my Catholic wife for seven years, I divorced her and have been living for 22 years with a Russian national from an Orthodox country. I read and organize the Bible, evangelize, and live a life working a job just like everyone else in the world. It is solely through God's help that I am able to share this message with the whole world. The background of my writing consists of eight years of undergraduate and graduate studies, 13 hours a day dedicated to social sciences, approximately seven years of theological study, nearly thirty years of reading and organizing the Bible, and knowledge gained from ceaseless evangelism through various methods (all of which are found in *Romans for Fifty Million*). It also incorporates my understanding of Confucianism and Buddhism learned since being born in Korea, as well as memories and recollections of my childhood by the South Sea coast, which felt like a life in paradise. I share all of this with everyone because the Holy Spirit has moved me and, at times, enabled me to ceaselessly understand new biblical content.

I am sharing this personal experience not to boast, but out of a desire that anyone who reads and studies the Bible and believes in Jesus will surely have an experience similar to what I have. It is also intended to emphasize the necessity of becoming a pastor and a teacher of the Bible. In this era, people often rely on learning—specifically, academic excellence—to enter prestigious theological seminaries and become pastors. Furthermore, they use the knowledge gained from good universities and their sharp minds to learn the Bible and become teachers, elders, or senior deacons. However, knowledge acquired in this manner is far too insufficient and narrow. Since people merely learn and preach already researched material through their intellect and effort, this process is indeed necessary.

Nevertheless, if one becomes a pastor, teacher, or church leader without the help of the Holy Spirit—that is, without being baptized by the Holy Spirit and born again—such a person is woefully inadequate to overcome their limitations and establish the Kingdom of God on this earth. It is all too evident that they are sometimes privatizing the church according to their own greed, treating their congregations like slaves, and ignoring, despising, looking down upon, treating lowly, and mistreating those like me who have received the Holy Spirit, all while being solely preoccupied with filling their own bellies. This is because they claim to be living well while being driven mad by greed, leading themselves and their followers down the path of destruction to hell. At the very least, all those who aspire to become church leaders, theologians, or teachers must fulfill their mission by consistently experiencing, fully understanding, and practicing the following three verses exactly as they are. First is the qualification of becoming a person who receives the biblical baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is a process that all believers, pastors, and leaders must go through. Except for exceptions like Cornelius, whose acts of charity and righteousness ascended to God first and thus received the Holy Spirit first, everyone must pass through this. This refers to a person who believes in Jesus.

Although I have previously spoken about the various studies I have experienced, such study is merely a supplementary means to understand specific parts of the Bible. It is also a basic form of study. However, for a fundamental understanding of the Bible, the studies mentioned above are woefully insufficient. No matter how much we study, unless the Holy Spirit comes to us and moves us, we can never truly understand the correct meaning of the Bible. There are countless readers of the Bible. Even those who do not believe in Jesus read the Bible as a form of culture throughout the world. Yet, not everyone understands the Bible correctly. However, there is undoubtedly a path through which one encounters Jesus and God, realizes sin, repents, receives the Holy Spirit, and views the Bible correctly. Therefore, reading the Bible is of paramount importance. Furthermore, the best way to correctly understand God's will is to receive the Holy Spirit and the help of the Holy Spirit. It is said that the Holy Spirit, as God Himself, best knows the deep inner thoughts of both the Father and the Son. Moreover, since all biblical records were written by the authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, receiving the help of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for a correct understanding.

Furthermore, regarding the method of receiving the Holy Spirit shown below through the Scriptures, repentance is essential. God has prepared all the conditions for the salvation of all humanity. The most important thing for a human being, who is a sinner, to do is repentance. Faith is also important, but repentance must come before it. Repentance means considering a life lived according to one's own will without believing in Jesus as a sin, and turning away from this sinful life.

In other words, repentance means believing in Jesus, abandoning all past ways, and now living in fellowship with Jesus according to God's Word. Repentance is nailing the old ways of acting according to one's own intentions and desires to the cross, and now living according to God's will. It is not repentance to claim to believe in Jesus while continuing to practice the same ways one did in the past without ceasing. Just as the disciples who met Jesus abandoned their boats, fish, nets, and even their families to follow Him, repentance is abandoning the old things and living fully following Jesus, learning and keeping His teachings..

Matthew 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire."

Acts 2:37 "When they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers, what shall we do?'"

38 "But Peter said to them, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'

39 "And this promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." (NIV)

There is no need for any other interpretation; it is exactly as I have confessed my experience. "Those who are far off" refers to us. This is the command Jesus gave to the saints who had learned from Him upon His ascension. You must receive the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, anyone who wishes to become a leader, pastor, or Bible teacher must first receive the Holy Spirit according to the words above, be born again, and possess power. Human study is different from the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit. You can absolutely never defeat an evangelist who has received the Holy Spirit through study. Because you cannot defeat them, you despise, mistreat, ignore, and turn away from them. All these actions constitute sin. Next is the content you must know. I believe that through the message I convey below, there are at least 10,000 people in Korea alone who accurately understand the meaning of the verses above. Bible study can be understood by looking at various translations even without knowing Hebrew or Greek; if that is still insufficient, you can read in English. I believe that most theologians possess the basic ability to understand the English below, and most Korean believers can understand the Bible in the following way.

Matthew 13:52 Jesus said, “Therefore every scribe who has been taught in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse things new and things old.”

52. Jesus concluded his words like this: “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been taught in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse things new and things old.”

52. He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old treasures." (Revised Korean Version, Common Translation, NIV)

Jesus said, "Therefore, every teacher of the law who has been instructed (by Jesus) about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner (Jesus) who brings out of his storeroom new treasures to share and old treasures to share." (He shares the Old and New Testaments depending on the situation; this implies that one must study the law well in order to become like Jesus.)

Now, following the order, there is a second gateway. All of Jesus' disciples, the apostles, and the leaders of the early church have passed through this process. It was a matter of course. However, regarding the law, since the leaders of the early church were almost 100% Jews, they were people who learned and kept the law, just like most Jews. Nevertheless, anyone who could understand both the Old and New Testaments simultaneously and feed the flock appropriately, like Jesus, had to become a master of the law.

Why did Jesus desire the scribes in this way and have them carry out His ministry? Before humans, the Earth, and the universe existed, God possessed order and was a God of justice and love. He intended to bestow this order, love, and justice upon all creation. Furthermore, having created humans, the Earth, and all things, He desired that they live according to this law. The first man, Adam, could have enjoyed eternal life and lived in reconciliation with God by keeping only one law. However, the woman fell first, and subsequently, the man also broke the law and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; as a result of this sin, humanity became doomed to die. Since humanity can never escape the price of sin, they must shed blood and die. Humanity, having fallen from Paradise, suffered terribly before dying; yet, over approximately 1,700 years, at least one billion people were scattered across the globe, and among them were faithful people like Enoch. There were also righteous people like Noah and his descendants. Nevertheless, none of them lived according to God's law; instead, they disorderly denied God and sinned against one another. Therefore, God regretted having created man and destroyed all mankind with a flood. Now, on the entire earth, there exists a righteous family: Noah, his wife, daughters-in-law, and sons—a total of eight people. After some time passed, the population on earth increased, and when they challenged God again with the Tower of Babel, God scattered them. Then, 400 years later, He called Abraham. The purpose was to keep God's law, which remains constant. In a word, the Bible is explained as law, and this was given by God, the ruler of the entire universe, to govern humanity. Please never forget this. If you forget and do not even know this will of God, and consider believing in Jesus and receiving blessings as the top priority, you will truly be an immature and foolish believer. However, since most Korean pastors focus entirely on these aspects, there are indeed too many problems.

In a narrow sense, the Law refers to the 613 articles found within the Pentateuch. In a broader sense, it refers to the entire Pentateuch. Here, we examine the content of the Law in the narrow sense. God governs all things as the Lord of heaven and earth. Humans are absolutely no exception. Humans, as created beings, are also subjects of God's rule. Although humans were created in the image of God, they are beings who do not worship this God ceaselessly but seek to live as they please. This is because humans fell through sin and have lost much of their original image of God. However, the Law given by God is fair to all people. If anyone commits a sin, they are punished without exception. And naturally, there is a reward for living according to the law. The Law is more just and fair than any constitution or national law existing on Earth. This reflects God's justice exactly. Furthermore, it clearly establishes that the ownership of the Earth—that is, the land—belongs to God. It is only natural that the Creator is the owner. If someone who believes this challenges God's ownership by claiming that a capitalist constitution guarantees individual property rights, they are committing a sin. You must absolutely believe that it (ownership)belongs to God. Furthermore, this law does not prioritize any specific group, power holder, individual, or nation. All human beings on Earth are subject to this law; before it, all nations and individuals are equal. It is the most fair and just law. Therefore, it is only through the existence of this law that we gain hope of establishing justice on this earth. Absolutely no other law, no matter how well-crafted, can guarantee the peace and order of all people on Earth. Only the law created by the omniscient, almighty, and flawless God for the happiness of all humanity is the most perfect and great law. You must believe in this to qualify as God's people, for there is an obligation to live according to this law.

God is love. Therefore, He gave the Law, which specifically expresses the methods of love, to humans created in His image so that they may live in love. All laws given by God are intended to put love into practice; first, they are laws that command us to love God with all our heart, strength, and mind, and second, they establish specific provisions for loving our neighbors as ourselves. Justice and faithfulness can be expressed in the same way. Thus, love, justice, and faithfulness are embedded in the spirit of the Law, and these are the very attributes of God infused within it. The fact that this Law is fair and just is because God is so. Furthermore, the fact that this Law is the Word of God is that the law given approximately 3,500 to 4,000 years ago remains the truth, unchanging in a single letter even as time passes and circumstances change; it enables all humanity to live peacefully, happily, and in an orderly manner, more so than any law created by humans today. No human-made law in this world can even imitate the Law created by God, and this will remain so until the moment the world comes to an end. God's rule is the rule of law; it is a rule by Law, a rule of love, and is perfected through the assistance of the Holy Spirit. This is the conclusion of the Bible. The following passage describes an event that took place approximately 4,200 years ago.

Genesis 17:1. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless.”

Genesis 18:19. “I have chosen him so that he may command his children and his household to keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that I, the LORD, might fulfill what I have spoken concerning Abraham.” (NIV)

And God, who witnessed the injustice of Sodom and Gomorrah in Abraham’s time, judges them this time with fire, despite Abraham’s pleas. He judges with a flood, judges with fire, judges through His Son, and finally judges all humanity with God’s law. Therefore, from creation to the end, the Bible begins with the law and ends with the law. Even if humans try to avoid this by pleading "faith, faith," it ultimately ends with the law. Therefore, since the entire Bible is law—both the Old and New Testaments are law—Jesus needs a legal scholar who has learned this law best. This legal scholar must learn well about the Kingdom of Heaven from Jesus in order to carry out His ministry. Although the Bible consists of the Old and New Testaments, since both are law, a person who has learned the law well—that is, a person who has learned the Law, the law of laws within the Bible—must first receive proper education about the Kingdom of Heaven from Jesus. Therefore, the instruction is to understand the Old Testament well from Jesus' perspective and to learn the New Testament well so that you can understand the connections between these two scriptures seamlessly. With this understanding, you are to preach, lecture, and educate. The first requirement is receiving the Holy Spirit, and the second is to understand the legal aspects of the Old and New Testaments, which are law, with the help of the Holy Spirit, and to feed the flock with the Scriptures based on this foundation. However, please believe that it is absolutely impossible to solve such content, which transcends time and space and surpasses human wisdom, through study alone without receiving the Holy Spirit. This concludes the second requirement. However, it is possible to become a pastor through study without the Holy Spirit, and to become the pastor of a mega-church without even knowing the Law as well as a Jewish scholar. Furthermore, one can become the ringleader of a heresy; therefore, believers must exercise good discernment of their own free will and voluntarily refrain from going to places where they should not go. Meeting such a person could lead to a life spent doing only things that lead to hell in vain.

The first prerequisite for wielding Abraham's sword was believing in Jesus and receiving the Holy Spirit. The second was learning the Law—that is, the Law of the Kingdom of God—just as well as a Jewish scribe. Those who have understood up to this point are blessed. Anyone who has majored in law in Korea possesses this qualification. I earnestly hope that you will uphold the will of the One who rules the entire universe and receive blessings for generations to come. This is a request made to those who have majored in and learned the Law. The final element is an understanding of the functional and practical aspects of the Law. The Law is commonly expressed as the Pentateuch, which is organized into 613 articles: 248 regulations for doing and 365 regulations for not doing. The Bible has always stated from beginning to end that living according to this law is the duty of man, yet people forget this principle because they want to conduct their ministry and religious life as they please. And they turn away from, ignore, mistreat, and reject evangelists like me—who have received the Holy Spirit and are deeply interested in the Law—who teach these principles. These people are absolutely no longer servants of Jesus or recipients of the Bible's teachings; they are those who rule the church and the saints according to their own will. Therefore, they minister for 40 to 50 years, or even as long as 60, without ever lecturing or preaching on the following verse, which is the most important of Jesus' words, throughout their entire lives. They are truly incompetent and wicked people, and they are the very crowd leading all the saints to hell. Too many people in Korea's megachurches live this way. They are all evil people who minister according to their own will. This can be immediately discerned through the content of the verse below. Those who sharpen Abraham's great sword must possess the understanding to use that sword, the precepts for its use, the power of the Holy Spirit, and love for God, the church, and the saints. The secret to receiving such precious and eternal blessings is all in the Bible, and some will come to shine eternally like the sun in the sky by believing and acting in this way. Hallelujah!

Jesus and the Law (Revised Korean Version)

Matthew 5:17. ○Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

18. Truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle of the Law will pass away until all is fulfilled.

19. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever keeps them and teaches others to do so will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

20. I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law (Common Translation)

17. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

18. I tell you this clearly: even if heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle of the Law will pass away until all is fulfilled.

19. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments himself, or teaches others to break it, will be treated as least in the kingdom of heaven. "But everyone who keeps the commandments himself and teaches others to keep them will be treated as great in the kingdom of heaven.

20. Listen carefully. Unless you live more righteously than the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

17. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

18. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

19. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. (NIV)

Jesus stated that the purpose of His coming was the fulfillment of the Law, and this is a purpose of His coming that is crucial, distinct from the aspect of personal salvation. This is because it is through the Law that the Kingdom of God is finally established on this earth. Jesus saved all believers through His blood and the atoning sacrifice of the cross; it is only when believers who trust in this learn and keep the Law well that the Kingdom is finally established on this earth. Our Lord Jesus came to establish this kingdom, and the most important principle of the community establishing this kingdom is a kingdom that stands according to the Law. Therefore, the requirement for believers to learn and keep the Law well is perfectly identical to the purpose for which Abraham was called. Thus, since rewards and punishments are clearly defined in this passage, He has explained them as the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven, the least of these, and those who will not enter Heaven even if they die. However, the multitude who claim to be servants of Jesus neither learn nor keep the Law first. Naturally, there are no lectures or sermons regarding this passage. Consequently, believers, unaware of these principles, live in the world more unrighteous than the righteousness of the Jews and end up going to hell. I cannot help but strongly point this out. At the very least, anyone associated with Jesus should understand the principles of these verses and teach them; yet everyone remains silent on this matter and lives as they please, ultimately ending up in hell. I am speaking strongly because I understand these principles. Believers who have seen or heard even a single sermon on this passage still have a chance of going in the right direction. I believe that Pastor Hwang of Suseo Church’s sermon on this part will be a truly precious one. I am posting this for reference.

Unless You Are More Righteous Than Them (Pastor Hwang Myung-hwan) Matthew 5:17-20

We are now in a time where the One who came to establish His kingdom is not introduced, and the most important thing has become my own salvation and receiving blessings alone. Furthermore, believers and pastors have been tainted by capitalist liberalism. The purpose of the Bible is to establish the legal order of the Pentateuch on this earth, and that kingdom is the Kingdom of God, and the one who came to establish this kingdom is Jesus.

Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

Any pastor who misunderstands the gospel of establishing God's kingdom as a gospel of personal blessings and preaches it incorrectly ignores the above regulations. Not only do they go to hell themselves, but everyone who has followed this pastor throughout their life of faith ends up living a life of futility. We are simply members, subjects, and citizens of His kingdom. Therefore, just as we, as citizens of Korea, uphold national laws to establish order in this country, we, as people of God's kingdom, must faithfully observe His laws to establish His kingdom on this earth. A pastor is merely a local worker responsible for a small part of this kingdom. That kingdom stands wherever there is faith in Jesus. It is a global kingdom. Jesus is the head of all churches. Therefore, a pastor in charge of a small region must recognize their own limitations and responsibilities and enable the believers to live as members of that kingdom. However, once a sufficient number of believers have gathered, they cast aside all these roles, clinging tightly to the church's finances and personnel administration without letting go, and live for decades enjoying every benefit from the congregation. When they reach retirement age, they should have voluntarily stepped down promptly, but instead, they continue to appoint their sons, receive special treatment as elders, and wield authority. Furthermore, they cast aside the words of Jesus mentioned above, never preaching throughout their lives, and allow themselves, their families, and all the church members to live as they please; how can such people establish the Kingdom of God on this earth? The Kingdom of God is governed strictly by law, and Jesus gave this law to Israel and ruled according to it; at that time, Jesus was the King of Heaven. He sat on the throne as the Son of God. The Law, found in the Pentateuch, is accessible to anyone on earth today if they so desire. Moreover, with just a little attention, everyone knows what the life required by that law is. The Law is the most fair and just law in human history, the object of praise for all saints, though it is often neglected, ignored, and untaught; it is a law that makes us free, peaceful, just, and prosperous on this earth, as if we were living in heaven. It is a law that guarantees the happiness of all humanity, which neither communist, capitalist, nor democratic laws can ever guarantee. Only those who learn this law well, teach it well, and live according to it receive a great reward in heaven. Those who do not live this way may go to heaven, but they will live as the least of this forever. Those who are unjust—like the Jewish scribes who tried to live righteously through the law without knowing Jesus, those who lived recklessly according to their own will—will never enter heaven, even if they die. Any pastor who ministers for their entire life without preaching such important sermons is destined for hell. This is because they failed to fulfill their duties as a pastor and lived recklessly, I convey the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:17-20 exactly as they are.

Those who wish to understand and use the great sword of Abraham must first repent, receive baptism in His name, have their sins forgiven, receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, possess power, be born again, and live under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The guidance of the Holy Spirit is broadly divided into two categories. First, He makes wicked, vicious people—those who torment, are violent, and cause only harm to others—good. He causes them to be overflowing with compassion and treats others with love. This is the characteristic of a person who has received the Holy Spirit most greatly. Furthermore, this person uses this love to actively witness to Jesus to others. They proclaim, without ceasing and in various ways, "Believe in Jesus. Jesus is the truth, the Savior, He will judge the world, and He will return. There is eternal life. There is resurrection." Every believer who has received the Holy Spirit is destined to change in this way. They become good, share, love, and evangelize. Additionally, the Holy Spirit enables us to understand the Bible. While our own efforts play a part, the Holy Spirit enables us to understand the Scriptures well. Thus, we come to realize the fact that the Bible is the law. From beginning to end, the entire Bible teaches that God has given us laws to keep, and that failing to live according to the law constitutes sin, and that sin entails punishment and death. Furthermore, He makes us realize how beautiful those laws are and enables us to keep them well. He enables us to keep what is difficult to keep by our own strength by giving the Holy Spirit as a gift, thereby allowing us to practice love and live according to the law. As we live in this way, our understanding of the Bible grows increasingly broader and deeper; those who will understand and use Abraham's great sword must become like this. Furthermore, one must excel in academics at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for those who are unable to do so, one must constantly read books during high school education to understand both the principles of establishing the kingdoms of this world and the principles of establishing the Kingdom of God.

Whether they are pastors of megachurches, theologians, or pastors of small churches, they are all servants appointed by Jesus to build His Kingdom. The best and easiest way to know whether their work is building His Kingdom or merely filling their own bellies is to observe whether they respect, learn, and teach the Law while living according to it themselves. Most pastors, once their congregation grows to a certain size, prioritize their own homes and families. They either privatize church property by establishing schools or seek to increase their own wealth, while casting aside missions and evangelism. Furthermore, they must ensure that every church member speaks English as fluently as an American, learns the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and is proficient in using modern devices such as computers and mobile phones. Pastors should use material resources for missions, evangelism, and charity. As members attend church for a long time, they should become experts in church affairs, missions, and evangelism, and be led to embrace and love the whole world based on the Bible. However, all pastors who cast aside these duties to fill their own bellies are evil, wicked, harmful to the Kingdom of God, and absolutely of no help; they are scoundrels whom one must never encounter. A talented individual who will save the world with a great sword of Abraham that not just anyone can wield or carry must harbor a grand purpose and live accordingly. Talents like Daniel must repent and take on the challenge. It takes a long time, and God is always with such a person, caring for them well. Walking this path is done through God's help, not by one's own ability. I earnestly hope that all those who have majored in law, and especially young law students, will learn the laws of the Bible first, and then learn the laws of the world as well. If you learn the laws of the Bible well, you become friends with the most successful Jews in the world; if you believe in Jesus well, you become friends with all 4 billion people in the world. Where else can you find a greater background and a stronger bond than this? Furthermore, you must learn English as fluently as Korean to communicate with them and spread positive influence to them. The Romans of 50 million people is silently carrying out this work. The direction of all my writings is set in this way. Please visit often to read, pray, and pray for me as well. It is open 24 hours a day and is free. I am a pastor of an independent denomination who received the fire directly from Jesus; I studied well in undergraduate and graduate school and studied theology. I am a pastor who reads, organizes, and evangelizes the Bible, while also leading a professional life and having a family just like you. I share this message from an environment where everything is exactly the same as yours. I share what I have learned from the Lord.

In the introduction, we saw that Abraham's sword represents the Word of God, specifically the scriptures spanning Genesis chapters 12 through 26, as well as Abraham's 100-year life of faith. I told you that in order to possess that sword, one must repent, believe in Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit, evangelize, study the Bible well, take an interest in and learn the Law in particular, and also engage in evangelism. Now, moving on to the main body, we will examine the understanding of the Bible that serves as Abraham's sword, and together explore the principles by which Catholicism and Protestantism become one through this sword, evangelize Israel, and lead Islam and the Arab world toward the path of peace.

God is love. That is why He gives His Son for us. It is an act that absolutely could not be done without love. Through that love, we are saved by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus and the grace of His atoning sacrifice on the cross, and thus, having received the Holy Spirit, we preach the Gospel to all nations. It is difficult to fully express in words the suffering of our Lord Jesus, who shed His blood and died. He endured that difficult and arduous work out of love for you and me. That is why you and I have received salvation. We must believe firmly and not waver. Furthermore, God gives the Holy Spirit to cause us to be born again, and through our love, He enables us to firmly establish and complete the law and fulfill its requirements under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Thus, the Kingdom of God, where rule is established according to the law, stands on this earth. The Bible is well organized in this way. I am stating the conclusion in advance. The presence of the Lord's precious blood and flesh in my writing is because I believe in Jesus, who saved me, and I desire to live according to His will. However, there is always a battle. Hallelujah!

※ Summary and Understanding of Genesis Chapters 12 through 26: The Great Sword of Abraham

Summary of Genesis Chapters 12 through 26 (Abraham's Faith, Bible Summary Materials)

In this post, I will first examine the content of Genesis chapters 12 through 26. I will then look into the life of Abraham. Next, I will examine how this was cited in the New Testament in later generations, and how Catholicism and Protestantism interpreted it differently, forming doctrines that led to the existence of two separate churches. In this process, I will also look at Korea and, through this, convey the truth that the 8 billion people of the world can become one. This is the work and plan of God, who created heaven and earth. Furthermore, I will correctly explain the ministry of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who came to bring about this unity. I will aid your understanding by using various charts and easily explained materials, and later, I will further enhance understanding through conversations in English. Please read to the end, and I hope that countless great believers whose lives are transformed and who change the world will emerge from Korea. Next, we will look at the evangelism of Israel and Islam, and the secret to becoming one through this understanding. Please read carefully with patience until the end. Hallelujah!!

Indeed, Genesis chapters 12 through 26, concerning the life of Abraham, contain profoundly important content. If we merely view Abraham as the source of blessing, focus solely on receiving blessings, and remain interested only in the act of receiving them, our 70 to 80 years of life will be a great pity. To see history, nations, the present state of the world, and unity through Abraham will be the amazing blessing we receive through him, the true source of blessing. To receive this blessing, investing an entire day is not a waste, nor is investing years or decades. For young people, the challenge in this field will be the greatest, most blessed, and most rewarding challenge of their lives. As mentioned above, I have learned well about Buddhism and Confucianism, and I have also studied social sciences better than others in both undergraduate and graduate school. Furthermore, having met Jesus through the Bible and received the Holy Spirit, I have been called to build His kingdom as a citizen of the Kingdom of God; thus, I am enjoying the greatest blessing and glory that one can experience in life.

First, I have been chosen and trained as an instrument of God. Therefore, the content of my writings is what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me through the Bible. Thus, since all these things are the work of God, all glory belongs to Him. Furthermore, because this was made possible with the help of those mentioned above, I must write with the heart of a debtor repaying that debt. In other words, if people stay up all night to read my writings and receive blessings from them, I will be satisfied with fulfilling my mission. I see and believe that God will perform amazing works in Korea 2,000 years after the coming of Jesus. These works will be accomplished through faithful Korean Christians, and just as Israel has governed the history of the whole world for about 4,000 years since Abraham, I believe that Korea will govern history until the coming of Jesus. And since the true ruler of history is always Jesus, I believe that Jesus will use our nation in this way. This is the message that God asserts ceaselessly through me.

First, I will summarize and explain the overall content of the study. A thorough understanding of the Bible is the foundation of all these things. The content I am conveying is also entirely new. Therefore, you must walk together, utilizing everything you have learned regarding the truth and the Bible, reading and meditating on it with all your heart and devotion, and always seeking the help of the Holy Spirit. While the prophecies concerning Abraham directed toward Israel are important, we must also pay attention to the prophecies directed toward the whole world. This prophecy is the key to solving problems. It is an extremely important prophecy. I, too, have come to focus on this today by God's grace, so I have nothing more to offer. We are walking together.

First, let us look at my Bible summary materials, which briefly cover Genesis chapters 12 through 26.

Chapter 12

Abram's Calling and Migration to Egypt

1-3. God Calls Abram

4-9. Arrival in Canaan. Building an altar under the oak tree in Shechem

10-20. Going to Egypt (the issue of Sarai)

※ Ur → Canaan → Egypt

Looking at the chart above, the righteous Noah and Abraham lived together for about three years. Young Abraham would have heard to some extent all the stories of Noah, the flood, and God. He was born around 2166 B.C., lived to be 175, and passed away. Thus, he had a journey of faith spanning 100 years and walked with God. He lived his entire life so wonderfully.

Abraham was called by God from Ur of the Chaldeans at the age of 75. He left immediately when God commanded him to leave his homeland, relatives, and father's house and go to the place He would order him to go. For us in our late 60s, 70s, and 80s, this is the time to leave in accordance with God's commands. Where are we going? We must abandon all possessions and embark on a journey to meet God the Creator and Jesus the Savior. Abraham sets out on a path he has never traveled, not knowing where he is going, solely based on God's command. It is a long journey of about 2,000 kilometers. He does not mind his advanced age. We, too, must abandon everything and leave in this way. Please believe this. This is not a recommendation for the young or middle-aged, but for everyone who has less than 20 or 30 years left to live in this world.

Chapter 13

**Abraham Parts with Lot After Leaving Egypt**

1-4. Abram Leaves Egypt. Stays Between Bethel and Ai.

5-13. Lot and Abram Part Ways

- Lot: The Plains of the Jordan. The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah

- Abram: Stays in the Land of Canaan.

14-18. Migrates to Hebron.

※ Abram, Sarai, and Lot: Their Shepherds. Egypt → Southern Canaan (Abram) & Plains of the Jordan (Lot) → Hebron

Abraham leaves his homeland, arrives in the land of Israel, goes to Egypt, and then returns to Israel. At that time, following the Flood, the global population may have been less than ten million. Our people migrated along the coast for about 1,000 to 1,500 years, arriving in Korea via Jeolla Province around 1000 BC. Abraham yields his settlement to Lot and moves to a new place. He makes truly difficult decisions with ease; like the virtuous Abraham, the ancestors of Korea yielded upon yielding, yielding ceaselessly, and came to Korea from Mesopotamia, through India, Southeast Asia, and the Philippines. They are descendants of the Semitic people, one of Noah's three sons, just like Abraham. Archaeology, too, loses its foundation without the truth of the Bible. The most fundamental aspect of archaeology is to first determine who the world originated from and how it has progressed. However, to cast aside the truth and attempt to unravel the secrets and progression of eternity and the universe with a handful of human intellect is something that would make the world laugh, and even animals laugh. Foolish humans boast endlessly and boundlessly, yet their minds are truly no different from mine—a mere handful of intellect. They boast about things I do not know, calling themselves scholars or professors, but in reality, they are merely exaggerating lies they themselves are unaware of. Both their minds and mine are truly beings that fall short of even the dust of the universe. Only seeing through the grace of Almighty God, His Word, and His Holy Spirit transcends all the scholars and theories of this world. I believe that is how I see. And believing His amazing words exactly as they are is power. Everyone who reads the Bible must believe in this way.

Humans absolutely did not evolve to acquire their current form. They were created in the image of God, with their current appearance and intelligence. They lived scattered across the entire earth for about 1,700 years. However, as sin became rampant, everyone except Noah's family was annihilated. Then, Noah's descendants began to migrate again, following the seas, grasslands, and the Silk Road. The map above illustrates this. While we say that people came north and migrated south by land, our ancestors entered the uninhabited Korean Peninsula via the sea and through Jeolla Province. As their population grew, they moved eastward and northward. Dolmens accurately explain this process. They also went to Japan. Furthermore, there is a very high degree of similarity between the Native Americans of North and South America and the Korean people.

Recently, a large number of petroglyphs, pottery fragments, and structures built of earth and stone have been discovered in the desert regions and Grand Canyon areas of the United States. Petroglyphs that closely resemble the Bangudae Petroglyphs in Ulju are visible. The thousands of years of history predating the white population could very well be the history of our people.

Our people are characterized by the use of bronze tools, the construction of dolmen tombs, rice farming, and the ondol heating system. They first entered this land—specifically Jeollanam-do and the islands—via the sea. As they spread across the Korean Peninsula, they entered from the north during the Iron Age from Gojoseon, Buyeo, and Goguryeo. Subsequently, the Kim clan arrived from China, crossing the West Sea. They conquered the Dolmen Tribe, who had enjoyed a thousand years of peace centered on the coast using simple bronze tools and rice farming; they forced them to build grand tombs and ruled over them. This domination continued for thousands of years, until Catholicism was introduced during the Joseon Dynasty. The Gospel entered Joseon, which had been shaken by the Imjin War and the Manchu Invasion, and the nation experienced severe persecution comparable to that of early Roman times. Building upon this tradition, missionaries arrived with the opening of ports, and Protestantism grew to 10 million followers within approximately 150 years. The Bible and the history of the whole world are absolutely not separate; rather, it is a matter of lack of research and understanding.

There are 10,000 dolmens in South Jeolla Province, Korea.

The distribution map of black dwarf birds and dolmens above is based on data from the Dolmen Research Society. Korea is the kingdom of dolmens, and the history of these dolmens covers approximately 4,000 years of human history. If we consider the entire history of humanity from Adam to the present as 6,200 years, the history of dolmens accounts for about 70% of that total. They are distributed along coastlines worldwide, and it is believed that these people, descendants of the Semitic people, migrated to the American continent about 2,000 years ago by following sea routes through Southern India, Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Korea, Japan (Hokkaido), and Alaska. For at least 2,500 to 2,000 years, Native Americans lived like they were in paradise on the vast American continent, enjoying the peace that the Bronze Age people of Korea once enjoyed. Living in an environment where everything was fully provided along the coast, there was no reason for war, and since everyone belonged to a clan, there was no room for conflict. Then, just about 500 years ago, the warlike white people, descendants of Japheth, who had migrated there, completely conquered them. This is no different from the situation during Korea's Bronze Age when the Dolmen people were ruled by migrants from the north who possessed iron tools, and by the Kim clan (the ancestors of the Gimhae Kim clan are in China) who crossed the West Sea. The irrefutable evidence for this is the petroglyphs. Through dolmens and petroglyphs, it is proven that they are of the same ethnicity and bloodline. Since they were the people who best fulfilled God's command to "be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth," spreading across the globe and living peaceful lives for at least 4,000 to 2,500 years, I believe they were the people who lived a life most similar to that of Abraham.

The petroglyphs of Korea and the United States are perfectly identical; it is clear they share the same ancestor.

Chapter 14

The Rescue of Lot and the Encounter with Melchizedek. [Key World] Kings. Lot. Abraham. Melchizedek. Land of Canaan. Valley of Siddim

1-10. War in the Land of Canaan. Valley of Siddim

A. The Four Kings and Amraphel, King of Shinar; Arioch, King of Ellasar; Chedormoel, King of Elam; Tidal, King of Goiim.

B. The Five Allied Nations. Bera, King of Sodom; Birsha, King of Gomorrah; Shinab, King of Admah; Shemeber, King of Zeboiim; and the King of Zoar engaged in battle.

11-16. The Arrest and Rescue of Lot

17-24. Melchizedek, King of Zeboiim. Giving the tithe.

When Lot fell into trouble, Abraham led his household and bravely rescued him. Although Abraham was a powerful man with many servants, he was not one who oppressed or conquered his surroundings through power; like all the ancestors of Korea, he was a simple and kind person. And he is brave.

Chapter 15

God’s Covenant with Abram: First, Being Justified

1. God’s Promise to Protect Abraham

2-5. The Promise of Descendants as Many as the Stars

6. Abram’s Faith and Being Deceived Righteous

9-11. Offering Sacrifices

12-16. Prophecy of Becoming a Stranger in a Foreign Land

17-21. Promising to His Descendants from the Boundaries of Egypt (Ken, Kenez, Kadmon, Hitt, Perizz, Repha, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, Jebusites) to the Euphrates

☆ The Covenant Made with Abraham: The Torch Covenant (Refer to New York Bible Summary)

Seeking an heir	multitudes of stars—your descendants will be like this.
Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord credited it to him as righteousness. (15:6) Gal 3:6
His righteousness	the righteousness of the Son
The covenant offerings	three-year-old heifer, a female goat, a ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Your descendants shall return to this land in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete." (15:16) ⇒ Fulfilled in Joshua (annihilation of the Amorites)
"On that day the Lord established a covenant with Abram and said, 'I give this land to your descendants from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.'" (15:18)

Abraham was born in 2166 B.C., and at the age of 75, he left home in obedience to God's command, which was around 2091 B.C. This was 4,000 years ago. Then, at the age of 86, he fathered Ishmael. God comes again in Chapter 15. Having met God for the first time, Abraham had an experience he could never forget in his lifetime. When God comes directly to a person in this way, His glory and radiance are not of this world, so they cannot be forgotten forever. He went to the land of Canaan and then to Egypt. He must have also witnessed the current glory of Egypt. Since the prevailing theory regarding the pyramids is that they were built before the flood, he must have seen the astonishing appearance of Egypt and experienced a culture distinct from Ur, Haran, and Canaan. Then, in the land of Canaan, after the rescue of Lot and battles with various kings, he now meets God once more. Around this time, the Semitic people migrated along the coast to India, Southeast Asia, Korea, Japan, and also to America. After the flood, people were scattered across the world. And they left behind mostly Bronze Age and dolmen remains. Petroglyphs and shell mounds are also their relics. 1,700 years of glory ended with a flood and began anew. The pyramids may have been left behind by people who lived to be 900 years old. And it is believed that the work of the Nephilim also took place.

Abraham, who left his home at the age of 75 in obedience to God's command, made an amazing covenant with God. He believed the promise that he would have descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky. And because he believed, he was declared righteous by God. This is the beginning. Even thereafter, God ceaselessly sought out Abraham and tested his faith. Likewise, the Holy Spirit dwells within us, ceaselessly examining our faith and desiring that we walk the right path. This will be explained later in Romans 4:1-16. Furthermore, Romans 5, Galatians 3, and Romans 3:28 consistently explain that we are justified by faith. Observing this, Luther asserted justification by faith (Rom 1:17) 500 years ago. Through this, Protestantism was born, and over 500 years, Jesus was preached to the whole world, leading people to believe—reaching 700 million people. The Catholic Church must acknowledge and praise this, saying, "You did an excellent job." It is perfectly biblically correct. I will explain this in detail by quoting the Bible. I will explain Abraham's first test. It is the part where justification by faith alone is stated with such precision, just as Luther of Protestantism explained. Upon seeing this, if one defines justification by faith as "faith alone," it is 100% accurate. That is why Protestantism has not retreated an inch for 500 years. Let us understand this by examining the text together.

Genesis 15:4 The word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This man is not your heir; he who comes from your own body will be your heir.”

5 Then he led him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So will your descendants be.”

6 Abram believed the LORD, and the LORD credited it to him as righteousness. (NIV)

The Apostle Paul, who believed in Jesus as a descendant of Abraham and wrote Romans, quotes as follows:

Romans Chapter 4 [Revised Korean Version]

Abraham’s Faith and the Covenant Through Him

1 What then can we say that Abraham, our father, obtained according to the flesh?

2 If Abraham had been justified by works, he would have something to boast about, but not before God.

3 What does Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. (NIV)

And in Romans Chapter 5, it states exactly the same: that we are justified by faith. Galatians is also likewise. Yes.

Romans 5 [Revised Korean Translation]

1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:5 Is it by works of the law or by hearing and believing that he who gives you the Holy Spirit and works miracles among you?

6 Just as it is said, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” (NIV)

Because it exists perfectly in accordance with the Bible, Protestantism remains unshaken, no matter how much Catholicism has challenged it for 500 years. Catholicism acknowledged this and did well. It is enough to simply do it. There is no need to argue.

Chapter 16

Hagar and Ishmael: The Beginning of Arab Islam

1-6. Hagar's Pregnancy and Sarai's Racism

7-16. Hagar Meets God. The Birth of Ishmael

When Abraham was 86 years old, he fathered a son named Ishmael. He was Abraham's firstborn and became the ancestor of all Arab tribes; however, the Arab people firmly believe Abraham to be their ancestor and claim Ishmael as Abraham's firstborn. Muhammad later established the religion of Islam based on this. Therefore, the Arab people and all believers in Islam are well aware of Abraham. Indeed, they fight so fiercely over a single ancestor who is so perfectly aligned. Who can bring about reconciliation? It is absolutely impossible to achieve this by completely subjugating one side, even if one were to die. Our people, who most closely resemble God’s patience on Earth by having endured invasion for 3,000 years without retaliation, are united through the Gospel. It is not a Gospel of conquest, but a Gospel of peace. The message I am delivering will illuminate the whole world with this very Gospel of peace. It will reveal the hidden Bronze Age of 4,000 years. It is the truth. Each and every one of you, myself included, is this precious. In particular, Jeollanam-do is the homeland of all Koreans, the homeland of some Japanese, and the ancestral nation and ancestor of all people in North and South America. Jeollanam-do, home to 10,000 dolmens, is one of the most precious holy sites in the world. I urge you to believe firmly in Jesus, never get caught up in regional affairs, never be swayed by the instability of powerful nations, and never be shaken by political forces. I bless you in the name of Jesus that you become a town of light that illuminates the whole world, armed with the truth. I hope that all people of Jeolla-do, like Abraham, will spiritually leave their homeland, relatives, and father’s house to become believers who embrace the whole world. The ancestors of the Korean people came to Korea in obedience to God's will to conquer and rule the land further and for longer than the great Abraham. He came to the sea having inherited the technology to build Noah's ark. This is the reason why this technology was incorporated into Admiral Yi Sun-sin's Turtle Ships and why the large ships currently traversing the world are all built in Korea. That is why he is once again traveling to the whole world by ship. Korea is a unique people on this earth, and the Korean Peninsula, the first landing site, was not much different from Eden.

Both you and I grew up hearing and learning stories from the Paleolithic era 500,000 years ago in school, such as chipped stone tools, polished stone tools, and Cro-Magnyus. Therefore, before knowing Jesus or the Bible, we believed that the Korean Peninsula began that way. Furthermore, since we take national history exams in school, we simply have to memorize it regardless of its factual accuracy. However, the history of humanity spans only about 6,200 years from Adam, and all artifacts and ruins on Earth prove this. Noah's family of eight after the flood was sufficient to create the current population of 8 billion. My grandparents lived about 100 years ago, yet they produced 200 descendants. About 70 people in Israel grew into millions in 400 years. Over a period of 10,000 years, two humans—a man and a woman—became 10 billion. No further years or evidence are needed whatsoever. Moreover, across the entire globe, the only thing found is a single piece of bone resembling a monkey. The theory of evolution is absolutely false. Everything I think, love, speak, and do was simply created in the image of Almighty God. An adult man and woman have children. Sometime millions of years ago, there was a baby boy. This baby grows up. And then, somehow, a woman is born. They do not die but grow up and meet. It is a nonsensical novel. I have met God. I have also met Jesus many times. And the Holy Spirit enables me to share this. Therefore, I believe 100% that the conversation and faith with God of Abraham, the transformation of the Apostle Paul, and all the stories of the Bible are all true. I was a person who knew absolutely nothing—not even 1%—about Jesus, the Bible, the church, or God, and was deeply immersed in Buddhism and Confucianism. However, with the coming of God, I became a person who completely believes in God in less than a few seconds. It is the power of Almighty God. I hope that everyone's hearts will be set ablaze by the vivid truth I share.

In this land of beautiful rivers and mountains, the seas were overflowing with fish, perfectly natural and abundant. When the tide receded, the mudflats were teeming with shellfish, seaweed, laver, and conch shells. And from the sky, stars poured down at night. Any flowing water anywhere in Korea was perfect for drinking. Fish were abundant in the rivers, wild greens were plentiful in the mountains and fields, and firewood was plentiful throughout the entire country as jungles. Fruits ripened and fell naturally from various trees. There were no competitors, and when night fell, he slept with his wife and bore children. And everyone is a brother and sister. They are relatives. If the population increases, there is land to move to across the entire Korean Peninsula. What is there to fight over? Furthermore, we honor our ancestors and parents, and cherish life; when someone dies, we build tombs using large stones—dolmens—so that they remain undamaged even after thousands of years. Thinking about the monkey-like humans of the Neolithic and Paleolithic eras leaves me with no understanding, even after death. People exactly like us simply landed in Korea and lived that way. Just as it was about 60 years ago, Korea was a place where everyone lived in thatched-roof houses, owned homes, had land to cultivate, and lived by clan and village for generations, all in close proximity to one another. It was like heaven on earth. For thousands of years, people lived exactly like that, with thatched roofs, underfloor heating, and rice farming. Those who become pastors in Korea are ordained to create such a world on this earth. Amidst competition where everyone else dies or commits suicide, all those who seek to eat well alone and survive by trampling on others are fakes with not even a 1% connection to Jesus. Although they claim to believe in Jesus, they lack even 1% love for their neighbors and know nothing about God; they live without knowing even 1% of His love.

I will explain Chapters 17 and 18 together. This is a very important section. Furthermore, scientific research is required. When I asked the Geminis, they said that there had never been such an explanation in the whole world. How astonishing this content was not well understood for about 4,000 years, but through God's grace, it is being revealed in Korea. It is a fact and the truth. Let us take a look. Abraham and Sarai laugh at God's promise. And this is explained in Romans 4:17-22 as follows. Since this is such an important part that everyone in the world needs to know, I will explain it in detail by quoting the Bible a little. They express the same fact slightly differently. This must be resolved. Science resolves it.

**** Genesis Chapter 17 [NIV]

Circumcision: A Sign of the Covenant

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before Me and be perfect.

2 I will establish My Covenant between Me and You, and I will make You very fruitful.”

3 Abram fell on his face. Then God spoke to him again, saying,

4 “Behold, My Covenant is with You, and You shall be the father of many nations.

5 From now on Your name shall not be Abram, but Abraham, because I will make You the father of many nations.

6 I will make You very fruitful; I will make nations come forth from You, and kings shall come forth from You.

7 I will establish My Covenant between Me and You and Your Descendants after Your Generation, as an everlasting covenant, and I shall be the God of You and Your Descendants.

8 I will give You and Your Descendants this land where You are sojourning—the whole land of Canaan—as an everlasting inheritance, and I shall be their God.

9 And God also He said to Abraham, “Therefore you shall keep My covenant, and your descendants shall keep it from generation to generation.

10 Every male among you shall be circumcised. This is My covenant between Me and you and your descendants, which you shall keep.

11 You shall cut off the foreskin; this is the sign of the covenant between Me and you.

12 Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with money from a foreigner, shall be circumcised on the eighth day after birth.

13 Whether born in your house or bought with your money, he must be circumcised. Thus, My covenant shall be in your flesh, an everlasting covenant.

14 Every uncircumcised male, that is, his foreskin not cut off, shall be cut off from the people, because he has broken My covenant.

15 God also said to Abraham, ‘Your wife Sarai shall not be called Sarai, but Sarah.

16 I will bless her, that she may bear you a son; I will bless her, that she may become the mother of many nations.’” "And kings of nations will come from him."

17 Abraham fell on his face and laughed, saying to himself, "Can a man a hundred years old have a child? And Sarah is ninety years old; how can she give birth?"

18 Then Abraham said to God, "May Ishmael live before you."

19 God said, "No, your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him, and it will be an everlasting covenant with his descendants."

20 "I have heard your word concerning Ishmael. I will bless him and make him very fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will bear twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

21 My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear you at this time next year."

22 When God had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed from him and went up. (NIV)

Genesis 18:10 He said, “Next year at this time I will surely return to you, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Sarah heard this from behind the tent door.

11 Abraham and Sarah were old and advanced in years, and Sarah’s menstruation had ceased.

12 Sarah laughed to herself and said, “I am frail, and my master is old; what pleasure is there for me?” (NIV)

I believe that the joy mentioned here refers to both the joy of bearing a son and the joy of spending the night with one’s husband. No one says anything against a married couple no matter how passionately they burn with each other at night. It is a joy granted by God to married couples. I hope you enjoy it.

Two thousand years later, Paul explains this content in Romans as follows:

Romans 4:17 As it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations.” And God, whom he believed, is the One who raises the dead and calls into existence things that do not exist.

18 Abraham believed against all hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to the promise that “your descendants will be like this.”

19 Even though he was a hundred years old and knew that his body was as good as dead and Sarah’s womb was as good as dead, his faith did not weaken.

20 He did not doubt God’s promise out of faith, but was strengthened in faith and gave glory to God.

21. He was convinced that God was able to fulfill what He had promised.

22 So it was credited to him as righteousness. (NIV)

Genesis chapters 17 and 18 clearly describe Abraham and Sarai’s response to God’s word. Abraham was 99 years old and Sarah was 89. And Romans 4:17-22 records that they were justified because their faith was strengthened. We must resolve this issue. Genesis and Romans express Abraham’s faith at the same age differently. This One might describe this as an explanation of the details and an overall eval‎uation. However, we must unravel this secret differently. The part we must pay close attention to above is the phrase "around this time next year." In other words, it means that there is an opportunity with a time gap of approximately one year for Isaac's birth, in accordance with God's word and promise. Furthermore, there are simultaneous hints regarding "Abraham's seed" and the fact that Sarah must bear a child. Does a baby come into being automatically through faith? This will be a virgin birth, making him God's seed. To become Abraham's seed, Abraham must have intimate relations with his wife. We share the grace given by God through a picture. This content came to humanity about 3,500 years ago through Moses. And in Korea, it is interpreted as follows. Please verify it. It is science.

It does not take long for the impossible to become possible. Please look at the picture while reading the biblical passage above. First, when God came to Abraham when he was 99 and Sarah was 89, they laughed. However, the Book of Romans declares that they believed firmly. And indeed, one year later, a son is born. It is Isaac. What happened for such an amazing miracle to occur to these elderly people? The picture above explains that amazing event. First, they believe God's word exactly as it is. They believe that they will have a child the following year. And since their child must be conceived through normal sexual intercourse between a man and a woman, they act accordingly. They go beyond mere belief and justification to action. First, they know that they cannot conceive a baby normally. Nevertheless, they believe firmly in God and have sexual intercourse with each other. Then, a miracle occurred. Sarah becomes pregnant. God helped them conceive normally and enabled them to have sexual intercourse. As they made love and enjoyed pleasure together all night long and conceived a son, what amazing grace He bestowed upon Abraham. We believe in this Almighty God, we believe in this good God, we believe in the God who makes the impossible possible, and we serve Him as our Father. Twenty years ago, as a 46-year-old Korean, there were no Korean women who wanted to marry me. Even now, it is said that the probability of someone over 40 getting married is one in 10,000. However, while I was sweeping the courtyard at Jamsil Church, Jesus, the Creator of the world and the One who knows Abraham, came to heaven and was looking for whom to bless. So, I immediately prayed, "Jesus! There are no women in Korea who want to marry me. Please look upon the whole world and find my partner." Then, a month later, a missionary sent by Jamsil Church from Kazakhstan told me that he had found four women and asked me to come see them. I went immediately, saw my wife, proposed marriage, and got married a month later. We had a son, who is now 20 years old. Miracles continue to happen without ceasing. Truly, living alone, I was at a loss for words when I saw a woman, yet there were no women for me. But God gave me the opportunity to marry and the opportunity to have a child. Hallelujah! I didn't even have a woman to marry, so I never dared to even think about having a son. Also, a 48-year-old son of a pastor at a large church was a source of worry for his father because he couldn't get married. However, with God's help, I arranged a match for a beautiful woman who is 171 centimeters tall, and he got married last year. With God's presence, nothing is impossible. There is a chance for every eligible bachelor in Korea. A friend of mine, who had lived alone for a very long time, is now dating a 45-year-old white Russian woman and said he would have children. Korea is so blessed that women from all over the world line up for him. Why are you growing old alone? Furthermore, I hope that those with weak functions, those suffering from erectile dysfunction, and those unable to conceive will all come to Jesus, pray, repent, and witness miracles. This miracle is open to everyone. I hope you enjoy it by believing and acting, along with faith in Jesus. We must not live by faith alone; we must act with faith to become the protagonists of miracles. Do not remain at the "faith alone" of early believers; believe and act. This knowledge and faith regarding Abraham will transform you into a completely different person. Please believe, act, and enjoy it. It is the truth. I describe the story of Abraham as, "Believe, and it bursts! Act, and conceive!" I have summarized it as follows. This is wisdom given by God. Since there is more important and interesting content to come, you must persevere to the end, even if it means dedicating an entire day to it. I believe this will be a time when my life is completely renewed. I have been called as an instrument of Jesus.

Furthermore, Chapters 17 and 18 contain God’s commands regarding Abraham and the purpose of his calling. He said to act first to be perfect, and that He called Abraham to enable him and his descendants to practice righteousness and justice. The Bible is science. I hope you believe that we, who have become descendants through faith, also have a duty to practice righteousness and justice. Becoming an adult means knowing and bearing responsibility while simultaneously enjoying life. Childlike faith remains in faith; as one grows, one believes and acts; and as one grows even more, one believes and offers. We must resemble Abraham, who offered even his own son. This is what the Catholic Church has been asserting to Protestantism without ceasing for 500 years. Since this is also clearly found in the Bible, Protestants should not criticize the Catholic Church. I firmly believe that God loves and rejoices in both of these churches equally. Why is this the case? It is because the two churches, adhering strictly to the Bible, develop and grow well while quarreling with one another. Abraham is righteous. However, while he is righteous, he is also overflowing with love and courage. He pleads with God no fewer than five times. He begs God not to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if there are righteous people among them. Just like Abraham, when Moses led his people, they were so disobedient that God threatened to destroy them; however, Moses interceded with God as a mediator and saved the entire nation. As we live our lives, we also face such difficulties, and there are times when wives or husbands act just as the Israelites did toward Moses. What should be done? Pastors and believers must endure and persevere, praying for them to go righteously, and bearing it with tears. Indeed, there are many pastors, elders, deaconesses, and deacons who live this way. There are many in Korea. Korean women have truly endured for a long time throughout their lives. It is a country where many women have borne countless children, shown filial piety to their in-laws, raised their children well, managed household affairs, and even endured the infidelity of immature husbands. They have lived this way for generations to come. I believe that all these women are now in Heaven.

And an even more important point is that the blessing of becoming the father and mother of many nations comes upon Abraham and his wife Sarai. Abraham is the only example in this world where descendants are as numerous as the stars in the sky and many nations emerge from one couple. This is a truly important part that should be studied even more than the Book of Romans. I am encountering this for the first time today. I have been writing this over several days, but God gave it to me at dawn today (March 25, 2026). Of course, those who are already aware may know this, but for me, it is just the beginning. The blessing of many nations is truly fulfilled, and it is accomplished through all eight sons Abraham fathers. The present-day Middle East, or the Arab or Islamic empires, are deeply connected to Abraham's descendants. And by believing in Jesus, we become descendants of our ancestors and Abraham not through bloodline, but through faith; thus, we see that the entire world is deeply connected to Abraham. You must deeply understand the content of blessing and faith as such an important matter. Just as the politics of the Middle East and the understanding between Catholicism and Protestantism are united, the principle of all believers becoming one lies in Abraham. Truly, this is so.

Abraham is faithful, loving, and just to people, but he recognizes God and always honors Him. He builds an altar and serves God well. We encounter God unwittingly. The struggling neighbors around us are all images of Jesus. Serving and helping them well is, in essence, treating God well. And there is judgment by fire. The judgment by fire of Sodom and Gomorrah and the judgment by water of Noah's flood explain Jesus's final judgment very well. In the era without the law, it was the law of conscience; in the era of the law—that is, the present age—everyone living will ultimately be judged by the Mosaic Law. It is always important to know and keep the law well. Living according to the law by faith is the truth.

It is easier for a person to live righteously and justly if there is a fearsome person in their presence. Admiral Yi Sun-sin was a man of strict discipline. He severely punished lazy soldiers and strictly observed military orders himself. Believers under a fearsome pastor shun sin. Abraham witnessed God's terror through His judgment by fire. For those who have seen God executing such terrifying judgment, the memory lasts a lifetime. Someone who has suffered a terrible ordeal is unable to perform any task again due to that trauma. For example, someone traumatized by a traffic accident cannot drive. If we encounter such a God directly, we absolutely shun sin. A person who has seen people stoned to death or burned to death for sin is less likely to commit sin. It is the height of foolishness for someone who knows neither God nor sin to interpret the Bible and preach as they please. Abraham, having witnessed the image of God as a terrifying judge, faithfully observes the law throughout his life. He keeps God's command to uphold righteousness and justice for his entire life. God, who came to me in a fearsome way, made me see my heinous sins so intensely that I automatically distanced myself from them for five years. It was a powerful experience that caused me to stay away from sin, not my own patience, effort, or labor. Yet, due to my disobedience, my wife ran away. I then witnessed four years of hell, filled with depression and sleeplessness. It is a terrifying and painful memory that I never want to think about again. However, after I was given a new wife, I now instinctively give her a full-body massage for 30 minutes every day, without anyone telling me to. I do not hurt her feelings. This is because I never want to see her leave again. Those who have tasted the bitterness of sin distance themselves from it. Terrible discipline is a terrifying expression‎ of God's love. Is there anyone here who is in the midst of terrifying discipline where they cannot even breathe due to their disobedience to God? Because God loves you so much and has such great expectations of you, His disappointment is also great, which is why He becomes angry in that way. Soon, the Lord of mercy and love will touch you and bind up your wounds.

Now, God’s final test of Abraham’s faith begins. We will examine this through the Bible. We will examine it strictly according to the contents of the Scriptures. It is neither theology nor doctrine. It is simply the Bible as it is.

Genesis Chapter 22 [Revised Korean Translation]

**Command to Offer Isaac as a Burnt Offering**

1 After this, God tested Abraham by calling to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

2 The Lord said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and there offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will tell you about.”

3 Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, took two servants and his son Isaac with him, cut wood for the burnt offering, and set out for the place God had told him about.

9 When he arrived at the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. Then he bound his son Isaac and placed him on the wood of the altar.

10 He reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.

11 Then the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham!” And Abraham said, “Here I am.”

12 The angel said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. You [must] your son, your "Since you have not withheld even your only son from me, I now know that you fear God." (NIV)

And the New Testament explains this event as follows:

James 2:21 Was not our father Abraham justified by works when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?

22 You see that faith worked together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect.

23 And the Scripture was fulfilled: “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” And he was called “Friend of God.”

24 And so it is said that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. (NIV)

Now Abraham, who was 118–125 years old, passed the final test of God's faith in this way. This is a record of the Bible, not the forced interpretation of the Catholic Church. If the Bible is recorded this way, then pastors and elders simply need to believe according to the Bible. You must break 500 years of stubbornness and believe this way. It is the very accurate word of the Bible. And finally, he becomes the ancestor of Israel. Through Isaac, his son Jacob fathered twelve children, and they went to Egypt. Over the course of about 400 years, they grew into a nation of over two million people, returned to the land of Canaan, and established a nation based on the laws received through Moses. Furthermore, through Abraham's son Ishmael, great nations were also established. Now, God does not command all believers, whether Catholic or Protestant, to sacrifice their own lives. He certainly does not command them to take their children and offer them as sacrifices. What was the most difficult part for Abraham? What was the hardest part of the command to take his son, burn him on firewood, and offer him as a burnt offering? Even the son, who could have escaped, obediently followed his father. He believed that even if his son died and disappeared, the Almighty God would absolutely fulfill the promise He made to him. This, too, was not much of a problem. The most difficult part was probably binding a living son, seizing him with a knife, and killing him. What must have been the father's feelings as he seized his son with a knife? Yet, he carried it out. Seeing this, God finally sees Abraham's faith—that is, his reverence for Him. Seeing Abraham's faith, who did not spare what was more precious than his own life, God promised to fulfill all His promises exactly as He had made them, and He has kept those promises for 4,000 years. Yet, we cherish our own lives, cherish our children even more, and are so stingy with our material possessions. Why is it so difficult to give for God and our neighbors?

And we live blaming others for all the social problems that arise from this lack of sharing. However, the One who demonstrates greater love and sacrifice than Abraham is the very God who tests Abraham in this way. We are all people destined to die because of sin. We are people destined for hell, people who could not even dream of eternal life. How does this person come to enjoy eternal life? It is accomplished through the giving of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God the Father. Does He simply give Him? Absolutely not. God the Father endures suffering that cannot be compared to the pain Abraham felt when he stabbed his own children to death with a knife. The Son comes to this earth through a virgin and bears the cross. He sheds blood and is scourged. He is nailed to the cross and pierced with a spear. Everyone mocks Him. And He died. We are the ones who did this. You and I are the very ones who nailed Jesus to the cross, nailed Him, pierced Him with a spear, and caused His death. There is not a single exception. Therefore, we proclaim to the whole world that because Jesus became the sacrifice on our behalf for our sins, we believed in Him and received forgiveness, thereby enjoying eternal life as children of God and being made righteous. How must God have felt at that time? A pastor who experienced this firsthand conveys it to us vividly. He witnessed his young son, who was just learning to walk, being run over by a bus wheel and dying right before his eyes. He also saw his brains burst. God came to this pastor, who was likely to live his entire life in a state of madness, and comforted him. He said, "Do not worry or think of it painfully; do not resent anyone. Your son is doing well in Heaven. Now you must have come to know the pain of my Son Jesus when He was crucified. When you preach Jesus, preach my pain along with Him." We are people who should have nothing to say but "Yes!" The problem in Korea is not a problem of politicians. It is a problem that arises because believers, who have received all blessings, refuse even the smallest commands of God by saying "No! I can't! Absolutely not!"

If a believer reaches the age of 60, 70, or 80 and still fails to dedicate everything to God, it is merely a reflection of Abraham's early faith; it is absolutely not the faith of an adult. Furthermore, they are disobeying the command to give. The problems plaguing Korea stem from the fact that the wealthy do not share under capitalism. God is the One who gave His only begotten Son, which Abraham could not do. Jesus offered His blood, flesh, and life to save us, enduring shame and mockery. Now, this Jesus does not command us to shed blood. He does not command us to die. He does not command us to offer up His Son. He does not command us to leave for a place 2,000 km away. He simply tells us to share our wealth with the poor. He tells us to share with young people who cannot marry, to save those contemplating suicide, and to save the elderly living alone. Why can't we do this? It is because we prefer going to hell through disobedience with our possessions. Wealth is better than going to heaven. In other words, it is because we want to live with our wealth even if it means going to hell. This is the true nature of it.

Please, Protestantism must never turn a blind eye to this truth. Among believers in their 70s and 80s, not a single one should say "No!" to God's commands. If you forget grace and live as you please, you become a person without hope; having met Jesus in such a hopeless state, where do you intend to go? You will never die even without material wealth. My 40 years of life prove this very well. I currently have nothing but debt. I have been unemployed for a year, so I have no income. Yet, as I share this, how much blessing is overflowing?

By believing in Jesus, through the merit of His precious blood, and guided by the Holy Spirit, we may understand Abraham—their ancestor—more accurately than the Jews themselves. And we understand the New Testament in this way. Therefore, to understand the Old Testament more accurately, one must believe in Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit, and, inspired by the Spirit, understand the New Testament and also examine the Old Testament to fully grasp its meaning. The Apostle Paul proves this with remarkable precision. Jesus Himself came to a man who knew only the Old Testament, was ignorant of the deep meaning of Scripture, and sought to live strictly according to the Law. Jesus brought this Paul to repentance, had him baptized through Ananias, forgave his sins, and gave him the Holy Spirit; thus, this man became the person described in Matthew 13:52. We, too, must become like this. I hope you will believe only and not miss such a great opportunity by thirsting for wealth, honor, or power, but instead thirst spiritually and thirst for righteousness like this.

Matthew 13:52 Jesus said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old treasures.”

52. Jesus concluded his words by saying, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old treasures.” (NIV)

52. Jesus said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old treasures.” 52. And He said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old." (KJV)

[Jesus said to his disciples, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven—that is, every teacher of the law—is like a master of a house who brings out of his storehouse both new and old treasures."]

I translated the English as above. The Master is Jesus. Just as He takes out both the words of the New Testament and the words of the Old Testament from His treasure storehouse to feed the saints according to the times, He chose the scribes as the ones to carry out His ministry, and those scribes absolutely had to be instructed in the kingdom of heaven by Jesus. However, since most scribes challenged and opposed Jesus, He came back in person after His resurrection, brought the foremost of the law to repentance, and had this man fulfill His role, which is why we see the New Testament. We see His epistles.

Pastors must systematically learn the Law, even if it is forced. A pastor who does not know the Law is a half-pastor. It is absolutely difficult for such a person to enter Heaven, and even if they do, there is a high probability that they will live their entire lives as the least of these. Furthermore, all believers receiving guidance under such a pastor may find it even more difficult to enter Heaven than the pastor himself, because they live as they please. For example, God established laws regarding houses and land so that 50 million people in Korea could own both homes and land and live happily. However, by attempting to increase wealth through buying and selling houses and land, they created 30 million citizens who possess neither homes nor land. As a result, Korea has become "Hell Joseon," with 40 people committing suicide every day. If one has a house and land, there is little reason to die. Also, competition disappears significantly. A country where home and land are guaranteed from birth is the Kingdom of God, a country where the Law is followed, and the Law is designed to ensure this. Is there anyone who knows this Law now? Is there anyone who keeps it? Because you have created such a world, made people unhappy, and driven them to suicide, you have become unrighteous and are going to hell without mercy. If a pastor ministers without understanding these principles, he cannot be called a pastor; he becomes a guide to hell. This is the reality for most pastors in Korea. Furthermore, since those pastors of a thousand mega-churches excessively accumulate houses, land, and stipends first, lording over others and demanding to be followed, they will absolutely never even come close to Heaven. They will go to hell 100% of the time, and all wealthy believers who follow them to acquire wealth but do not share it are headed for hell. Why do you cling to such things in a short life of less than a hundred years, longing for eternal hell? Please sell everything today and share it. These are the words of Jesus.

Now, let us examine the origins of the Arabs through another person's writing. Islam and the Arab people originated from the descendants of Ishmael and the six brothers of Keturah. I believe that a thorough understanding of their distribution and circumstances will serve as the foundation for the evangelization of Islam.

A. Islam and the Origins of the Arabs

The geographical distribution of Ishmael's descendants extends beyond mere ancient records to become the foundation for the birth of Islam, one of the most influential religions in human history, and for shaping the ethnic and political identity of the Middle East today.

The Origins of Islam and the Holy City of Mecca

According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad and the Quraysh tribe to which he belonged are considered descendants of Nebayoth or Kedar, Ishmael's eldest son.

- Geographical Continuity: The region of 'Havilah' (inland Saudi Arabia) mentioned in Genesis encompasses the Hijaz region, where the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina are located.

- The Kaaba Shrine: Islamic tradition teaches that Abraham and Ishmael together built the 'Kaaba' shrine in Mecca. This is geographically consistent with biblical records that Ishmael's dwelling place was located deep within the Arabian Peninsula. - Religious Identity: Muslims define themselves as "descendants of Ishmael" and inheritors of Abraham's faith; this became the religious driving force behind the rapid spread of Islam centered on the Arab people.

The Formation of the Arab People (Pan-Arabism)

The biblical record that Ishmael's twelve princes each formed their own tribes leads to the history of the differentiation and integration of the modern Arab people.

- Ancestors of Northern Arabs: Historically, the descendants of Ishmael are classified as Northern Arabs of the "Adnan" lineage. They are widely distributed across present-day Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq, becoming the ethnic roots of modern Arab nations.

- Linguistic Integration: Early Arabic dialects were exchanged through the trade routes between the "Road to Assyria" and "Havilah," where they resided, and this later became the foundation for the development of Standard Arabic, the language of the Quran.

Modern Middle Eastern Situation and 'Across from the brothers'

The phrase "lived across from all his brothers" in Genesis 25:18 symbolically illustrates the geopolitical dynamic between modern Israel and Arab nations.

- Israel-Arab Conflict: The conflict experienced by the descendants of Isaac (Jews) and the descendants of Ishmael (Arabs) living in adjacent areas serves as the narrative backdrop for modern Middle Eastern conflicts. Geographically, Israel is positioned to the west, while Arab nations are situated to the east and south (across from it).

- Strategic Hubs: The trade routes of the Sinai Peninsula (Shur) and the Arabian Peninsula, once occupied by the descendants of Ishmael, remain today key hubs of the modern economy, serving as the Suez Canal and oil transport routes.

Summary

The territory of Ishmael has evolved from a "desert nomadic people," through a "vast religious community known as Islam," to the present day as the "Arab world, a center of energy and religion." In a sense, the geographical boundaries in the Bible are directly linked to today's national borders and sites of ethnic conflict. B. Where in the present day did the descendants of Ishmael live? (Genesis 25:12-18)

(Genesis 25:12-18)

12 This is the genealogy of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian maidservant of Sarah bore to Abraham.

13 These are the names of Ishmael’s sons, according to their names and their generations. Nebaioth was the firstborn of Ishmael, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massah,

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemani.

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, named according to their villages and hamlets, and according to their clans, they were the twelve leaders.

17 Ishmael died at the age of one hundred and thirty-seven, and was returned to his own people.

18 His descendants lived from Havilah to Shur, which is before Egypt and leads to Assyria, and they dwelt opposite all his brothers.

Genesis Chapter 25, verses 12 through 18, deals with the genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael and the region where his descendants lived. The Bible records their dwelling place as "from Havilah to Shur, which is before Egypt and leads to Assyria," and connecting this to modern geography yields the following:

Major Place Names and Modern Locations

The settlement area of the descendants of Ishmael primarily encompasses the northern and western parts of the Arabian Peninsula.

- Havilah: Scholars identify this region as the central-northern and western inland areas of modern-day Saudi Arabia. It includes the vast sandy desert region that stretches across the Arabian Peninsula.

- Shur: 'Shur' means 'fortress' in Hebrew and refers to the northwestern region of the Sinai Peninsula, which was the eastern boundary of Egypt at the time. This is the area east of the present-day Suez Canal.

- East of Egypt: This refers to the eastern boundary of Egypt and is a term encompassing the entire Sinai Peninsula.

- The Road to Assyria: Here, Assyria refers to the region of Mesopotamia (present-day northern Iraq). In other words, it implies that they were scattered and lived along the major trade route leading from Egypt through the Sinai Peninsula and the Fertile Crescent to Mesopotamia.

Major Areas of Activity for Ishmael's 12 Princes

The Bible records that Ishmael's 12 sons each formed villages and tribes. Among them, the representative tribes connected to modern geography are as follows:

Tribe Names	Modern Locations, and Relevance
Nebayot & Kedar	Northern Arabia and Southern Jordan. They are also associated with the later Nabataean civilization (Petra).
Duma & Dema	Currently the Dumat al-Jandal and Tayma oasis regions in northern Saudi Arabia.
Yeddul, Nabis, Kedemah	They are presumed to be nomadic tribes that inhabited the desert regions of present-day eastern Jordan and Syria.

Geographical Significance

The Bible summarizes the dwelling characteristics of Ishmael's descendants as "living opposite (East) all his brothers" (Verse 18).

- People of the East: Here, "brothers" refers to the descendants of Isaac (Israel). In other words, this indicates that the eastern and southern desert regions of the land of Canaan, where the Israelites settled (present-day Jordan and Saudi Arabia), became the primary living ground for Ishmael's descendants.

- Nomadism and Trade: These regions were major trade routes for the movement of spices and precious stones. Ishmael's descendants formed a powerful nomadic force in these areas and became the ancestors of the Arab people, the roots of Islam.

25:1 Abraham took a second wife, whose name was Keturah.

2 She bore Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 Jokshan bore Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Assyrians, the Ledushites, and the Reummis.

4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Eber, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaai; all were descendants of Keturah.

5 Abraham gave Isaac all his possessions.

6 He also gave property to his illegitimate sons, causing them to leave his son Isaac during his lifetime and go to the east, that is, to the land of the east.

Descendants of Ishmael

Abraham already had two children, Ishmael and Isaac, but after Sarah's death, he married Keturah and had six more children. Thus, he had a total of eight children, from whom many nations originated. This fulfills God's prophecy regarding Abraham. Furthermore, He prophesied that these children would also acknowledge Abraham's God as God. The Old Testament primarily deals with the lives of Isaac, his son Jacob, and the twelve tribes. This is the history of Israel, known to all people on Earth through the Old Testament and through Israel. However, Ishmael, another son of Abraham, and the son of Keturah lived around Israel, forming nations with populations and territories even larger than Israel's—these are the countries known today as the Middle East, the Arab peoples, or Islam. Since the seven sons continued to have many more sons, it is only natural that many nations would spread across a wider area with larger populations. Incomparable to Isaac, who originated from him, numerous nations, vast territories, and a population tens of times larger surround small Israel. Who is the strong one, and who is the weak one? You need to look at it right away.

After Ishmael, Isaac, and Sarah died, Abraham married Keturah and had six children. Thus, he had a total of eight children, from whom many nations emerged. This fulfilled God's prophecy regarding Abraham. He also prophesied that these children would acknowledge Abraham's God as God. The Old Testament primarily deals with the lives of Isaac, his son Jacob, and the twelve tribes. This is the history of Israel, known to all people on Earth through the Old Testament and through Israel. However, Ishmael, another son of Abraham, and the son of Keturah lived around Israel, forming nations with a larger population than Israel itself—these are the countries known today as the Middle East, the Arab peoples, or Islam. Since the seven sons continued to have many more sons, it is only natural that many nations would spread across a wider area with a larger population. These nations have lived through the modern era, constantly quarreling with Israel and the surrounding countries. Recently, there was a joint attack by the U.S. and Israel on Iran. While Iran belongs to the Middle East and the Islamic world, it is not part of the Arab coalition. These three terms differ slightly, and I have marked them on the map above, so please distinguish them. Various studies must be conducted on this region to properly understand the events occurring in modern times. This region is rich in oil and gas, and while Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia have formed an alliance to pursue global hegemony centered on China, the situation has now escalated with Trump's invasion of Iran. As I have been writing this over several days, I saw the Iranian President's ceasefire proposal today (April 2, 2026). The Iranian President concealed his numerous misdeeds and offered the excuse that he had no choice but to build weapons, including nuclear ones, as a self-preservation measure because powerful nations were surrounding him; he also criticized Israel. However, please look at the Arab nations and Islamic countries surrounding Israel. Hundreds of millions of Arabs and billions of Muslims are attached to Israel, which has a population of less than 20 million. Furthermore, if you look at the territory, all Arab and Islamic nations, including Egypt, are besieging and intimidating Israel. Indeed, there is no other way to explain how small Israel—which is less than one-hundredth the size in terms of population and land area—holds its ground except through the 100% presence and assistance of Almighty God for Israel, which upholds the Law. If you hold Jesus in your heart and believe, you must have the eyes to see these geographical and demographic facts. Those who support Arabs and Iran are the ones who support the atrocities they commit against all of humanity, particularly the beheading of missionaries and the nonchalant death of those strapped to their bodies, saying, "Yes, I love you, you did well." There are many lunatics in Korea who would laugh and say, "You are doing a good job," even if these people did this to their own families. There are even pastors of large churches who are such lunatics. While we must live in harmony with these Muslims and Arabs and evangelize them, we must also know and proclaim this truth.

These nations not only quarrel with Israel but also have historically had poor relations with Christian nations. In particular, conflict between Christianity and Islam is intensifying in various regions due to religious reasons, and in Korea as well, the influence of Islam is increasing due to the influx of people from Central and Southeast Asian countries. The correct understanding of Genesis, the Old Testament, and the New Testament will present the path for them to become one and live in harmony with one another. In particular, the life of Abraham and the subsequent Old Testament records of Israel must be understood; only by thoroughly understanding the New Testament based on this foundation will the path to uniting the whole world through Jesus become clearly visible. Our nation is a people chosen and prepared for this purpose. If we encounter these truths through the Bible, study the nation of Israel well, and research the approximately 2,500 years of life lived without a nation, we will also shed light on other nations of Abraham's descendants through this research. Along with this, we will gain an understanding of the situations in the Arab League and Middle Eastern countries, such as Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. Furthermore, we must synthesize and reconcile all of them through Abraham. I also believe that although Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy are currently separated, they must be brought to mutual understanding through Abraham. I believe that this entire process will be accomplished through an understanding of the Bible, through Jesus, and through the work of the Holy Spirit.
