Testimony for the Holy Spirit: A Summary of 34 Years of Life After Receiving the Holy Spirit 3

※ Now, let us examine the unity of Israel and Protestantism (including Catholicism) through the lens of Abraham's faith and find a solution.

Now, we look at how we, as believers in Jesus, should conduct missionary work and evangelism in Israel. It is said that evangelism in Israel is possible only when the time comes and God brings Israel back to Him. However, through the Bible, we can gain wisdom on how to evangelize to Israel. I will explain this wisdom using the "sword of Abraham" mentioned above.

Recently, when President Lee criticized Israel, China cheered, Middle Eastern nations acted immediately, and Israel issued a strong rebuttal at the government level. And the content of the rebuttal about this Israel's from Lee Jae Mung was to criticize the Israeli military based on an incident from two years ago without verifying its accuracy, and to cite the examples of Korean "comfort women" and Israel's massacres during World War II. Lee Jae Mung refuted the claims, instead of simply apologizing for the content they had posted based on a misunderstanding, they launched a renewed attack by bringing up universal human morality. Domestically, some say he dug his own grave, while others say he did the right thing; however, China, which has passively endured attacks from the U.S. and Israel while barely able to breathe, is now egging on this action as the unprecedented stride of a hero. In my view, President Lee will absolutely not step down. With global forces glorifying him as a hero and his associates encouraging him rather than dissuading him, he will truly end up fighting Israel and the U.S. alone. The outcome will be a battle between one person versus all of Israel plus Trump, the Republican Party, and the entire U.S. military. While the entire world will watch this like a spectator, in reality, there will not be a single person in China, Iran, or South Korea who will come to Lee Jae-myung's aid. Israel holds global dominance over the financial and knowledge sectors, and the United States is a nation with the power to possess the world's strongest economy and military. Yet, there are far too many people in South Korea who do not follow him and want him to step down, and neither China nor North Korea, nor powerless Iran, will ever be able to help him. So why is he fighting such a reckless battle alone? Once the situation with Iran is resolved, President Lee Jae-myung must be prepared to wage a war, knowing that he himself will be the next target of Israel and the United States. Since he is advancing unhinderedly in Korea and maintaining a similarly unhindered relationship with the U.S., he intends to break through Israel in the same manner and accomplish what no one else can; this displays the chilling spirit of a hero.

1.5 billion people in China will support this move. Consequently, the next war awaits Korea, and the Korean people will now be drawn into the vortex of this conflict. As soon as the situation with Iran is settled, a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Korea's passage through the Idae Passage is anticipated, and China will use various methods to induce Lee Jae-myung to fight them. Without lifting a finger, themselves, they will mobilize every means and method to ensure that Korea—which ranks fifth in the world economically and militarily, and is ten times stronger than Iran—dealt with the U.S. and Israel. Korea will no longer be able to escape this vortex. All 50 million Korean citizens who work and dream of peace must prepare for this war. North Korea, in its own way, will join forces with China to do this, and Russia, which is dying in the war with Ukraine, will wonder what is going on and muster its strength to induce South Korea to please do the same. Once U.S. troops withdraw and wartime operational control is reclaimed, this country will join forces with these nations to advance on Japan, the last bastion of the United States; if Japan loses this battle, the curtain will fall on the glorious era of the United States as well. This battle has begun with President Lee Jae-myung's preemptive strike. And in this process, all those who enjoyed the peace and happiness of freedom and the Gospel will either abandon their faith or fight in this war with the resolve to die. No matter how unilaterally the United States and Israel have attacked, this may be a time when they need to take a brief rest due to the war with Iran. However, how can the United States, exhausted from attacking Iran, withstand such a joint attack by South Korea, North Korea, China, Russia, and the remnants of the Middle East? Observing the situation, the United States and Japan will immediately jointly militarize Japan. Since there is little time, Japan's rearmament will begin at the speed of light. South Korea is that rotten.

A mega-church of 1,000 members is so rotten that it lacks even the awareness of the current state of affairs compared to Buddhism, and is obsessed with material possessions, women, and power; as a result, the believers have lost their minds, and the entire nation is on the verge of collapse. Only those who flatter power and dictatorship, just like North Korea and China, will survive, and all of Korea's wealth will shift to China, North Korea, and the dictatorial faction within Korea. All 1,000 pastors of this mega-church, who remained silent and refused to utter a sound to save themselves while the country fell into such a state, will have their names remembered by future generations as wicked and evil, and their sons, daughters, and descendants will live in punishment for generations to come. This is the Korea of today. The spring days of mid-April 2026 have exposed the radiant reality of Korea. This is the analysis of a poor pastor who loves his country and loves God, earnestly hoping that things will never turn out this way.

Two months later, Iran signs a ceasefire with the United States, the Strait of Hormuz opens, and oil prices drop. Young people take to the streets due to election fraud, and U.S. Ambassador Mostan is detained in Korea, fighting against the Lee Jae-myung administration. And we can see attempts by the government to take action against large corporations. This is the state of Korea in late June, two months after the above text was written.

Even amidst this grim reality, we hope to be reconciled and become one with Israel and Jesus through the truth of the Bible. We are conveying that truth. First, we have carefully examined the incredibly great and blessed life of Abraham. We have seen his life of a friend of God among all human beings. However, although Abraham had a household of hundreds, eight children, grandchildren, and a vast herd of livestock, he was an individual. As an individual, he faithfully believed in God, lived a virtuous life, kept God's laws well, and lived righteously; yet, his descendants began to multiply like the stars in the sky, just as God had promised. About 500 years after his death, their numbers had grown to millions. When his grandson Joseph entered Egypt and became Prime Minister, and about 400 to 430 years had passed since Jacob and his descendants of approximately 72 migrated to Egypt, Abraham's descendants—the Israelites alone—had numbered around millions. Furthermore, Isaac and his seven other brothers likely prospered in the Middle East, increasing their numbers to tens of millions. And God, who led the Exodus through Moses, established a covenant with this nation at Mount Sinai by giving them the Law; Israel became the Kingdom of God, and God became the God of Israel, protecting and blessing them. This was around 1446 B.C. This is approximately 700 years after 2166 B.C., the year Abraham was born.

Furthermore, the entire history of Israel is accurately recorded alongside that of neighboring nations in the historical, poetic, and prophetic books of the Old Testament for about 1,000 to 1,500 years. That history is the history of the Old Testament and the true history of Israel, known to Christians all over the world—a history they understand more deeply and accurately than their own national history. I, too, have organized this content while reading and reviewing the Bible. Now, if you wish to understand Israel, you must first learn the Law of the Pentateuch well. Fortunately, the Law is not difficult. For anyone who wishes to live a loving and righteous life, it is a truly joyful and happy law—the strongest, greatest, and best law on Earth and in the universe. This is why the entire nation of Israel has praised the Pentateuch from that time until now. And this is because it is the core of God's Word, to which all Christians must also praise and give glory.

Confirmed through the Bible, God is love, just, and faithful. There is not a single Christian who would deny these attributes of God. Why is that? Because Jesus’ coming to this earth stems from the love of God the Father, and God’s love is clearly proven through the Father’s love in giving His Son as the price for our sins. Furthermore, since sin is an act that deviates from the law and violates it, receiving punishment for this sin is justice. However, He accomplished that justice through His Son. We should have died because of our sins, but the Son shed His blood in our place, suffered on the cross in our stead, and died. In this way, God is love, just, and faithful.

God continues to keep the promise He made to Abraham 4,100 years ago without ceasing. Therefore, He naturally embodied His character exactly as it is in His law. Thus, the law is, above all, a law intended to practice love. Therefore, the content of the law is largely to love God and to love one's neighbor. If you ask what love is, it is like a mother or father loving his children, or like affectionate siblings living as one, sharing without distinguishing between "yours" and "mine." However, while human love and God's love differ in size and depth, God's love is a love manifested through His almighty knowledge. Therefore, it is incomparably greater, wider, and deeper than human love. Furthermore, since God is just, He also administers appropriate punishment for sin. To maintain order, the Law prescribes what must be done and what must not be done. There are also regulations governing mutual trust, which is the faithfulness of God, similar to our civil law.

The Law is the most fair and just law on earth. Naturally, this is because it is a law established by the Almighty, Loving, and Just God, ensuring that all humanity, upon being born on this earth, fundamentally possesses homes and land and lives happily together. Moreover, it is a law of purity intended for humans to remember the Creator, commune with God, and approach Him. God gave this wonderful law to Israel through Moses, declaring that living by it would bring blessings, while breaking it would bring a curse. As Israel responded with a resounding "Amen," the covenant was established, becoming the Old Testament. And indeed, Israel lived a life of rebellion, betrayal, and unrighteousness without rest, to the point of death. For a full 1,000 years, they caused God great distress and rotted away His will. The evidence of this is that He sent prophets to admonish them not to live that way. The following is a summary of this content.

You can remember the Law as a law given by God, who is love, to enable humans to love God and their neighbors. While Israel lived in this manner, God desired that all nations would come to know, believe in, worship, and praise Him. When that plan collapsed, our Lord Jesus had to come into this world Himself. There is a period of approximately 400 years between the collapse of Israel and the coming of Jesus. And the era becomes the Roman Empire.

This is a compilation of Israel's thousand-year history, organized by all books, years, and contents according to the Bible. The Law runs through this history, and obedience to or disobedience to the Law determines everything. This is because the Covenant is so, and because the Law is accurate, fair, and the truth. It is an object of praise.

This describes Israel being taken captive. Assyria and Babylon were the most powerful nations of their time. Hegemony would eventually pass from them through Persia to Greece and then to Rome, and then Jesus would come. The 1,000-year history of Israel clearly demonstrated that God established a covenant with Israel while giving the law, and that living according to the law brought blessings, while breaking it brought curses. King David, filled with the Holy Spirit, lived according to this law and ruled the nation. Consequently, it became the strongest nation in the world, and Solomon, through this blessing, built the temple, and nations from all over the world paid tribute and offered princesses. However, due to queens who brought idols, the nation became corrupt and was divided into two. As 500 years passed in this way, there was the era of the Tabernacle without a king, followed by the era of the Temple with a king, living as one before the division. Then, the kings of the divided kingdom also became corrupt. The people became corrupt as well. God, without ceasing, proclaimed judgment and restoration through prophets, desiring that they would walk the right path. And even though two nations are destroyed and people are taken captive, God is always with them as a prophet and loves them. Then, after 400 years of silence, Jesus comes, sheds His blood, saves sinners, enables them to receive the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit enables them to keep the law. God’s most powerful desire for humanity is that we do not live as we please, but live according to God’s law. God Himself acts according to the law He has given us. Furthermore, when all people who have ever lived on earth face judgment, the standard for that final judgment is the law. It is the law that God emphasized we must keep. Even knowing this, do you still intend to live as you please. I have uploaded materials from someone else. The Old Testament is well illustrated.

I have organized the prophetic books.

The entire Old Testament has been displayed in a chart.

I have arranged the prophetic and historical books to be viewed together at a glance.

I have summarized the 1,000-year history of Israel in pictures. Some of the materials were drawn by me personally, while others were sourced from others. The material at the very bottom is one I drew by myself through God's grace. 1 Kings, 2 Kings, and 2 Chronicles describe the same content from the perspectives of the priests and the scribes, respectively, and this is entirely related to the content of the prophetic books. This is because it was the period when more than ten prophets mentioned in the prophetic books were active. However, I have drawn the material at the very bottom above by aligning the chronology and content with 1 Kings, 2 Chronicles, and the prophetic books. If the content or chronology were to be out of sync, the narrative of the Bible would become distorted. Yet, looking at the picture I drew, the contents of the three books of the Bible match perfectly without the slightest discrepancy. For example, the prophet Isaiah was active in Southern Judah from 740 to 680 B.C., and the content of the prophetic books, 2 Kings, and 2 Chronicles are not different in any way, either chronologically or in content. In this way, the records of the prophetic books, 2 Kings, and 2 Chronicles, along with the kings and the people appearing in them, all match perfectly without any deviation. The records of so many events and people are remarkably accurate. Since the content from approximately 3,000 years ago is so precise, it clearly proves that the Bible is the Word of God. Furthermore, how can there be such consistency when the authors are different? As I organize and share the Bible, the more I study it, the more I come to prove that the Bible is a science—the oldest and most accurate science on Earth.

The authors of the Bible recorded the history of the Israelite community in the Scriptures; these are collectively referred to as the Law and the Prophets. The Law primarily consists of the Pentateuch, while the Prophets refer to prophetic books. Among these, the most important scripture, encompassing both the Old and New Testaments, is the Pentateuch. Israel received the Pentateuch from Moses and established a covenant with God based on this Law. This is the Old Testament. After undergoing 40 years of training in the wilderness to learn how to live according to the Law, they marched into Canaan, and their history began with the historical books, starting with Joshua. The songs, praises, poems, and wisdom arising from this were organized into the Book of Poetry. Later, when Northern and Southern Israel were divided and did not live according to the Law, prophets were sent to warn, proclaim judgment, and prophesy about Jesus. This book is the Book of Prophecy. Therefore, the most fundamental book is the Law of the Pentateuch, and the one who best lived according to this Law and set an example is their ancestor, Abraham. Furthermore, the Law of the Pentateuch is the law that prescribes the lives of individuals living like this ancestor, as well as the lives of the entire Israelite people as citizens of a priestly nation. In other words, the Law is the norm of the national community based on Abraham's personal aspect. The Pentateuch is important in the Bible because this Law governs the life of Israel during the Old Testament era, when Jesus came to the land of Israel 2,000 years ago, and for the 2,000 years that followed. Indeed, the Law is the constitution of the Earth that all people on Earth must observe. Therefore, the Law of the Pentateuch in the Old Testament is the element that allows us to best understand Israel, whether historically or in reality. It is highly likely that the understanding of the Bible by anyone who does not acknowledge the Law as the most important and sole law they must observe is not a truly correct understanding, but rather an understanding based on their own whims and preferences. In other words, they interpret it haphazardly according to their own desires. Therefore, if one does not recognize the Law as their constitution—the sole and most important law—the lectures or sermons of even the most famous theologians or pastors with a large congregation may truly hold little value. Humans cannot distort God's will and intentions through theology. That is blasphemy. The most important thing is simply to live according to God's law. To summarize my long writing in a single sentence: respect and keep the law. Since this is a matter of historical significance and our own reality, it means that we must believe in Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit, and keep it through the power of the Spirit.

Among the 1,000 years of history, surrounding environments, and countless people and events mentioned above, the two most important elements are the Law and the prophecies concerning Jesus. All of the aforementioned events, accidents, people, and environments were under the dominion of the Law. Had Israel observed the Law, loved God, and loved their neighbors, they would have received blessings and become the most powerful nation on earth, just like in the time of David. Just as the division after Solomon occurred, disregarding the Law and living as they pleased brought a curse; when the Law became so lax that control was impossible, God sent prophets to urge them to live according to the Law. Furthermore, He had them prophesy ceaselessly about what form Jesus would take, when He would come, and what ministry He would perform. Finally, when the Law had completely laxated and it was difficult to find anyone who kept it anymore, God brought about Israel's destruction. Consequently, Israel wandered without a nation for 2,500 years, passing through Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome, and eventually reaching Europe, the Middle East, Russia, the United States, and Australia. However, even amidst these circumstances, they tirelessly and faithfully transmitted the Old Testament, preserving it for at least 3,500 years with almost not a single letter incorrect. Then, Jesus came to open the era of the New Testament, and we, too, came to see the Law of the Old Testament. Although this history was incredibly difficult for Israel to endure, all nations of the world came to know the Law through Israel. This is because wherever Israel went, they still strove to preserve and keep the Law. Furthermore, they spread the Law to the whole world and conveyed a life lived according to the Law. God surely remembers this amazing achievement of Israel and will reward them. We, too, must respect and acknowledge this.

And Jesus, who gave this Law to Moses 1,500 years ago, comes to the land of Israel. Israel denied this. The apostles and the crowds following Jesus realized that this Jesus was the Messiah promised in the Old Testament, and they came to know this through the help of the Holy Spirit. Consequently, Jesus came into conflict with the Pharisees, scribes, and priests of that time, who sought to live according to the Law by having learned it well. They cast aside the spirit of the Law—love, justice, and faithfulness—and sought to live solely according to the literal text, neglecting the poor and the uneducated, weak multitudes. The Law stipulated that Israel should always care for orphans, widows, and the sick; in other words, it mandated that they love one another and love God. However, because they failed to observe these important regulations, Jesus rebuked them, but they refused to listen. Furthermore, when Jesus stated that Abraham had worshipped Him, they exploded in anger. Because He declared Himself the Savior of the world and the King of Israel, they absolutely refused to believe, accusing Him of blasphemy and nailing Him to the cross. After His resurrection, Jesus spent 40 days with His disciples before ascending, commanding them to receive the Holy Spirit and power to act. Previously, the Jews only needed to observe the Law, but now they must also believe in Jesus. Moreover, while living according to the Law was considered righteous, they now face the reality of repentance. Additionally, they must receive the Holy Spirit; thus, they have not acknowledged these procedures for approximately 2,000 years. They still seek to live according to the Law, just as their ancestors did 2,000 years ago.

And after Jesus resurrected, He came to Paul again, brought the foremost lawmaker of that time to repentance, and enabled him to receive the Holy Spirit along with baptism in His name. Paul was undoubtedly a Jew, a Pharisee, and a scholar of the law. He preached the gospel to the Gentiles, established churches, and sent out various epistles. These epistles and his activities are what we primarily look at when studying the New Testament, as seen in the Book of Acts and the New Testament Epistles. I have already mentioned the conflict and dispute between Catholicism and Protestantism regarding justification by faith, and I have explained the process by which that conflict was resolved through Abraham's lifelong faith. It was stated that justification by faith is faith from beginning to end, and that a person who possesses that faith and lives a life worthy of it day by day is recognized as righteous. I also explained through Abraham's life that this justification occurs not just once, but many times. Now, let us look at an important passage from the Old Testament that connects us in the New Testament with the Israel of the Old Testament and the modern Israel that remains unchanged even now. It is a passage that clearly explains the crucial relationship between the Old and New Testaments. It is prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel. All New Testament saints are beings who must live according to this verse.

Ezekiel 36:24 I will bring you out from among the nations and gather you from among the peoples and bring you back to your own land.

25 I will sprinkle clean water on you to cleanse you; I will cleanse you from all your impurity and from all your idolatry.

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

27 I will put my Spirit in you and make you walk in my statutes and keep my ordinances.

28 You will dwell in the land I gave to your ancestors, and you will be my people, and I will be your God. (NIV)

This means that Jesus came and cleansed us, who are sinners, by giving us the baptism of water in His name, and renewed our hearts with the Holy Spirit—that is, caused us to be born again—so that with a now softened heart, we would keep the laws that our ancestors failed to keep. And indeed, Jesus came, urged repentance, had them baptized, and after His resurrection, told them to receive the Holy Spirit; all the saints received it and preached Jesus. It certainly happened exactly as prophesied above. And 2,000 years after Jesus ascended, a world like the one we see today came into being, with as many as 3 billion Christians throughout the world.

If Israel acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah, everything goes smoothly. However, as 2,000 years passed, they wandered here and there throughout the world without a nation, enduring all kinds of suffering. The secret to overcoming that suffering is the Old Testament, and especially the laws of the Pentateuch. Although they rejected Jesus and did not believe, they still lived scattered throughout the world as the Diasphora; according to the law, they regarded one another as brothers and chosen people, did not hesitate to help one another, and sought to live according to God's word. Therefore, God continues to bless them the most among all nations. Through such efforts by the Jews, people of all the world came to know the Law through them, which greatly aided in establishing the global Kingdom of God; this is what the Jews practiced while roaming the world for 2,000 years. Perhaps here lies God's will regarding Israel's wandering. I am convinced of this. Please watch the YouTube video below to see the 2,000 years of Israel's suffering.

How significant is the influence of Jews in the world? What is the secret of the Jews who went from ancient slaves to the wealthy? All About the Jews (Park Hyun-do X Seong Il-gwang) | 10-Minute Debate / 14F

While wandering the world without a nation, Israel firmly believed in their God—the God of the Old Testament—and in particular, strived to learn and observe the laws of the Pentateuch. They lived this way for a staggering 4,200 years, starting from Abraham. Furthermore, wherever Israel entered, the land became a powerful nation. First, Egypt became the most powerful nation in the world at that time, utilizing the labor and skills of countless Israelite slaves. Then, as the Israelites who had escaped Egypt became a people and a nation, and by faithfully observing the law, it became the most powerful nation in the world during the reign of King David. Despite this, they lived while strictly guarding the boundaries of their country according to the regulations of the law. However, when Assyria and Babylon were the most powerful nations in the world, Israel’s disobedience—that is, their failure to keep the law—led to the destruction of their nation and their captivity. After living as slaves in these nations, Israel returned to their homeland and rebuilt the temple when Persia regained hegemony. And when Israel lived again as a vassal state of Greece and then came under Roman rule, Jesus came. And they nailed Jesus to the cross. They killed the master who had come to them. Then, after struggling to restore their country against Rome and failing, they scattered to Europe and Egypt. They went to live in Spain and Germany, but faced persecution there as well, and were driven to live in Russia and surrounding areas.

Then there was the well-known Holocaust, and after World War II, they migrated to the United States, becoming the most powerful people in the world in political, financial, and intellectual terms. Based on this foundation, they established a nation in 1948. During this process, conflicts arose with Palestinians and Arabs, and recently, they are at war with Iran. However, every country that Israel entered was blessed. The reason for this is likely that the most civilized, scientifically, and commercially advanced nations in the world were serving them, so naturally, those countries prospered. However, what is even more important is that they effectively conveyed the Old Testament, especially the Law of Moses (the Pentateuch), and there was a group that sought to live according to the Law, even if not in their entirety. Furthermore, I believe that because this nation, like Abraham, continues the grace and traditions of their ancestors who are the source of blessings, God has blessed the places where they are, and that is why things have turned out this way. A scholar who has neither God, the Bible, nor Jesus can merely know a visible part and act as if he knows it, but in reality, these spiritual principles are the most important. All people in the world who understand these principles never treat Israel disrespectfully. It is a small nation, and the Arab empire, consisting of 22 countries, has a territory more than 100 times that of Israel. Islam has 1.5 billion people, which is more than 75 times the 20 million Jews. I believe that the reason they cannot defeat the single nation of Israel is not due to Israel's ability, but because the Almighty God protects them. This is because God still remembers the promises of Abraham and David and blesses them, and although not the entirety of Israel, there are people in the whole world who strive to learn and keep His laws and statutes best. This is the secret to true victory.

Looking at the example of their ancestor Abraham, it is said that he faithfully kept God's laws and statutes. During the approximately 1,000 years that Israel lived in the land of Canaan, when they faithfully kept the covenant they made with God and lived according to the Law from the king to the people—just as in the days of King David—they became the most powerful nation on this earth. However, when they broke their covenant with God and failed to keep the law—that is, when they lost their identity as God's chosen people and became like the world—they faced discipline and destruction. Even amidst such circumstances, there were always people who paid close attention to and placed great importance on the Law, striving to ensure that Israel preserved it and lived according to it. Particularly during the Greek era, seventy men gathered to translate the Old Testament into Greek to maintain their roots and traditions, unite the Jews scattered throughout the world, and educate them. As a result, people all over the world were now able to read the Law and pursue a life lived according to it. Christians around the world must never forget to be grateful for this. The German theologians, pastors, and believers who forgot this historical context and attempted to wipe out their lineage must, historically, ceaselessly beg for forgiveness and repent. They are no different in the slightest from Haman, who sought to exterminate the Jews. German theology must humbly acknowledge this limitation and ensure that such a tragedy never happens again in history. Defeat and disgrace at the hands of Russia is not enough. I believe so.

And 2,000 years ago, Jesus was born of the Jews. After a conflict with the Jews, Jesus was crucified by them, died, and then resurrected. Since then, the number of people believing in Jesus has increased throughout the world. However, Israel still denies Jesus, believes in the Old Testament, and places particular importance on the Pentateuch. Yet, every Christian reads the Old Testament and has come to know the history of Israel better than the Israelites themselves.

We know that Jesus bore the sins of all humanity, shed his blood, died on the cross, and resurrected on the third day. This is common knowledge known to people all over the world. However, faith is another crucial factor. Israel does not believe in Jesus as their Savior. For 2,000 years, all Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Protestants have had the mission to preach Jesus to Israel. However, we are aware of the various atrocities committed by the world, especially by Christians, against the Jews. This makes it even more difficult for the Jews to believe in Jesus. Furthermore, while they seek to live righteously by observing the laws of the Old Testament, if those who believe in Jesus live unrighteous while claiming that faith alone is sufficient, it is absolutely impossible to evangelize them. However, when the time comes, God will bring them back. And He will do so through the Word of the Bible.

All Israel Will Be Saved

Romans 11:25

“Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, which is that Israel has been hardened in part until the full number of Gentiles has come in.”

25 Brothers, you may be confident that you know everything, but there is one hidden truth that you have not yet realized, and I hope you will make sure to know it. That truth is this: Although some Israelites are now hardened, on the day when all Gentiles turn to God, they will cast off that hardened heart.

25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. (NIV)

26 Thus all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion and turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”

26 Therefore, all Israel will also be saved. In the Bible, it also says, “A deliverer will come from Zion and remove evil from the descendants of Jacob.”

26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.” (KJV, Common Translation, NIV order)

However, there is a problem. As seen earlier, based on Abraham's faith, Catholicism and Protestantism have debated the doctrine of justification by faith for 500 years. Furthermore, neither Catholicism nor Protestantism is recognized by Israel. How is this resolved?

There are now few nations where Gentiles, other than Israel, do not believe in Jesus. If China and Islamic empires believe, most nations will come to believe as well. It can be seen that God’s time for Israel’s salvation is drawing near. They view Jesus as either one of the prophets or simply as a human being. However, their ancestors, including the Apostle Paul, and all of Jesus’ apostles were Jews. While they viewed Jesus as a human being, they knew and believed in Him as the Son of God. They also witnessed His ministry saving all humanity from sin. Furthermore, they witnessed Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, and they believe in His second coming. Regarding the purpose of salvation, although 2,000 years have passed since Jesus, Protestantism focuses on believing, receiving salvation, and having a deep interest in blessings in this world. They seek prosperity under capitalist liberalism. I believe that despite continuing for approximately 2,000 years, the Catholic Church has failed to provide a proper biblical answer regarding the Jews. We intend to resolve this issue as well using Abraham's great sword. We must truly understand the purpose for which Jesus came to this earth. First of all, it is true that the purpose of Jesus' coming was the salvation of humanity. Furthermore, regarding whether that salvation is solely faith or faith plus works, we have already sufficiently found the answer by examining Abraham earlier. However, Jesus Himself revealed the purpose for which He came to this earth. The secret to the unity of Israel and Christians lies in that purpose revealed by Jesus.

Jesus and the Law

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. (NIV)

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (NIV)

Matthew 6:9 Therefore pray in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

9 Therefore pray in this way. Our Father in heaven, may the whole world honor you as God,

9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

10 Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

10 Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.)

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.)

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

(Korean translation NIV)

The purpose of Jesus' coming is, first, the salvation of humanity. Second, the observance of the law by the saved people. And third, the establishment of the Kingdom of God, which is the fulfillment of God's will.

In particular, there was a major conflict with the leaders of the time—the Pharisees, scribes, and priests—because of the law. Surprisingly, however, both Israel and Jesus made it their goal to keep the law well. Therefore, they have a common purpose that can never quarrel or diverge from one another. This must be made clear. Why did Jesus come to Israel and quarrel over the law? And He came to fulfill the law, and He says that saints must live according to the law to enter Heaven and become great, and even goes so far as to say that if righteousness gained by keeping the law becomes more unrighteous than that of the Jews who learned and kept the law—that is, if one lives as they please and disregards the law—they can absolutely never enter Heaven?

His true will is to establish His kingdom on this earth through us who have been saved, and the foundation, the constitution, the basis, the framework is the law of the Bible, specifically the laws of the Pentateuch. The foundation for establishing the Kingdom of God is the law. This is a fact of paramount importance. God absolutely does not establish His kingdom according to theology, doctrine, or the teachings of the Pope. This is not His word, but an interpretation of the word. It is a human doctrine that cannot be unified at will. This is because the law, the Word of God, which does not change even a single jot or tittle until the end times, is the foundation and constitution of the Kingdom of God. All the diverse theologies and doctrines are blown away. They are blown away by the wind. There is no doctrine or theology on Earth that is universally acknowledged by anyone. Human knowledge, which fluctuates according to the times and scholars, can never be the foundation of the Kingdom of God. Please do not forget this. Neither Calvin nor Luther is anything before the Law. You have spent your entire life following Calvin and Luther, ministering, studying theology, building up churches well, and gathering tens of thousands of believers; yet if you have nothing to say before the Word of Him above, who has long since decided whether you go to hell or heaven, what use is that ministry or theology? Please turn back. Please bow down before the words of Jesus. Please repent of your entire life of ministry spent kneeling before theology.

The fact is that despite having examined, studied, and learned from the Bible for a staggering 1,500 years since Moses, they do not know, then or now, that Jesus is the coming Messiah. There is an aspect where they do not know Jesus, who is both human and God; furthermore, although He came to create a world governed by the law, they remain ignorant because the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox churches do not live according to the law but engage in other deeds. Why do they believe in Jesus but not live according to the law? Nations that believe in Jesus prioritize national interests over the law. Britain, Rome, and subsequent Europe fell into imperialism and attempted to enslave entire nations. Although the Bible clearly commands respect and good treatment of the Jews, they violated this command and tried to wipe out the very people. Given that Israel wandered without a country for 2,000 years, isolated and ignored by powerful nations that believed in Jesus, and sometimes even subjected to mass slaughter, how could they possibly have faith in Christians or their own country? Can Israel return if they believe in the Jesus they preach? All Christians must apologize to Israel for this historically grave sin. And you must never do such things again. It is God's will.

Furthermore, both Israel and the people of faith share the same ancestor, Abraham. The Bible states that Israel preserved the Scriptures well and passed them down to us, as well as the tradition of faith. It teaches that we, who are not Gentile Christians but are grafted onto Israel as the original branch, must never become arrogant. Every Christian has the mission to bring them back to Jesus through the love of believing in Him and clear biblical truth, always thinking of Him with gratitude and respect. In particular, Korea, a small nation that has endured for 3,000 years while pursuing peace, must embrace Israel, comfort them, and bring them salvation. However, recently, the person calling himself our leader is truly spouting nonsense. What is going on when such a great nation should be moving forward with such a great mission? All Koreans who believe in Jesus must awaken. Saints must not be shaken by the massive vortex of the world. When the Nazis occupied the whole world and tried to kill, all Protestant Germans, disciples of Luther, forgot all these biblical principles and tried to exterminate the Jews. They not only prevented the Jews from returning to Jesus but also attempted to wipe them out completely, so they deserved the most miserable punishment on earth. During World War II, Berlin was occupied by the Russian army, and their women were violated. Marx and Lenin were Jewish, and at the time, 70% of Russia's leaders were Jewish. Marx created communism to ensure that such a national tragedy would never happen again. By establishing a communism without ethnic discrimination, approximately 100 ethnic groups in Russia lived together without discrimination. However, communism killed 100 million people, and I believe that the majority of them were Christians. If you provoke the Jews, you absolutely cannot survive. No matter how much the world shakes us, Christians must not deviate even a single step from the truth of the Bible, and if death comes, they must be martyred on the spot.

Surprisingly, however, Paul—the greatest man among the scribes who, 2,000 years ago, persecuted and opposed believers in Jesus even more stubbornly and strongly than the Jews of today—met Jesus in person, repented, received the Holy Spirit, and became a new person. Indeed, when God, who created heaven and earth, comes directly to a person, a life as insignificant as dust undergoes a powerful experience that will never be forgotten. Repentance is fundamental, and one comes to hate sin to the death and distance oneself from it. This man sent over ten New Testament epistles, including Romans. They became the New Testament. And that man is the Apostle Paul, whom everyone knows. Furthermore, Romans, which he wrote with the help of the Holy Spirit, is even called the diamond of the Bible. Yet, for 2,000 years since the coming of Jesus, churches have failed to understand Romans as one and remain in conflict over their interpretations of the book. The sword of Abraham, which rectified this, was used once for the unity of Catholicism and Protestantism, and I intend to use it well again this time. Lord of Power! Lord of Love! May You Alone Receive the Glory! Hallelujah!

The amazing power of a correct understanding of the Bible cannot be fully described in words. We must pour all of Korea's capacity for blessing and the church's capacity into this understanding of the Bible. We must never confine the congregation within the small minds of human pastors; instead, every pastor must open the way for believers to freely embark on a spiritual journey into the universe. We must ceaselessly proclaim that although Jesus is the Son of God, the purpose of His coming is the fulfillment of the law, which is perfectly identical to the purpose pursued by the Jews. This is the mission of every Christian. To fulfill this mission, we must temporarily set aside both Catholic and Protestant understandings of Romans and focus solely on the Word. Now, I lead everyone away from the thicket of doctrine and into the world of truth. Some Protestants who claim that faith alone is sufficient and that works of the law are unnecessary still have a long way to go. First of all, when viewed in light of Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-20, this attitude toward understanding the Bible is, quite simply, a claim that is perfect for going to hell. You must awaken. Furthermore, the Catholic Church must absolutely not treat lightly the Protestant truth that salvation is received through faith—that is, through faith in Jesus. This truth is a vital pillar of the Bible that cannot be shaken. Indeed, Romans 1:17 must be well understood in harmony with the subsequent parts of Romans. It must be so. We must clearly see what the path to salvation from sin and the way to live as a saint look like. Justification occurs when a believer believes in Jesus, obtains salvation, and lives a life of faith day by day. This is a much more precise step forward from the idea that we are justified by faith alone. It is clear that Romans is the Word of Life that everyone must read, regardless of whether they are unbelievers, Gentiles, or Jews. However, the members of the church in Rome were all believers who had trusted in Jesus and received the Holy Spirit. This text concerns how they were justified. You must clearly understand that this is a text about how a believer living a life of faith must lead a life of faith in order to be justified.

First, what is the very first thing we, and the Jews, must do now that Jesus has come? Whether it is the Jews who lived by the Law, the Gentiles who lived by the laws of their respective nations, or any group seeking salvation through their actions, the most important and priority task now is to believe in Jesus the Savior. The emphasis on this faith is simply too important. And the Holy Spirit comes to those who have believed. Jesus also said that one must receive the Holy Spirit. And what is the next thing to do? Regardless of whether one is Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox, if one has believed in Jesus, should one do as one pleases? Absolutely not, not even to the point of death. If that were to happen, faith would be useless and one would simply go to hell. This is because Jesus said that those who live as they please can never enter Heaven. Those who simply live as they please—believers and non-believers alike—will all go to hell at the final judgment. In that judgment, the Law becomes the standard. Jesus does not judge according to His whims. If that were the case, no one on earth would acknowledge Jesus. If it were said that Jesus judges and declares hell or heaven at will without any standard, there would not be a single person who would believe in a God who acts as He pleases.

However, God gave the Law to all humanity 3,500 years ago. Therefore, all people on Earth can see, verify, and follow it. Since He has given that law, if He judges based on this law, no one can object to that judgment. Even if something happens that leads to hell and one goes to hell, there is nothing to say. Because the law exists, sin is established, and since the law has been broken, one goes to hell as punishment, who can challenge God? Furthermore, if that law is verifiable throughout our lives, accessible to anyone who simply opens the Bible, and if it is the most fair and just law among all laws existing on Earth, who would dare challenge it? God has given the law and commands us to live according to it, and He judges according to that law; yet to ignore this law, neither learn nor keep it, and live as one pleases? That person will absolutely never enter Heaven. Why is that? It is because they have been of no help whatsoever in establishing His kingdom, which He commands from behind; on the contrary, they have severely hindered it. This is because the law is the very law that establishes the Kingdom of God, the law of Heaven, and the constitution of all saints. Of course, people before the law and those after the law who have not heard the gospel or been preached the law will be judged by the law of conscience.

Whether it is the Jews or Jesus who came as a Jew, they all consistently seek to establish a world that operates according to the law. We must ceaselessly convey to the Jews that this purpose is the same. To convey this, we must learn the Law well and keep it. That is why Jesus said in Matthew 13:52 that if only the teachers of the Law learn about the Kingdom of Heaven from Him, it will be as if He were distributing both the Old and New Testaments to them. From now on, all of us believers must not have any other thoughts for even an inch or a moment; we must not forget that the Kingdom of God is the rule of law and governance by the Law, and that this is the only way to establish the Kingdom of God. Therefore, we must take an interest in the Law, learn it well, and keep it. If you truly live by recklessly breaking the Law, you will go to hell, just as Jesus said. Is there anyone among you who believes in Jesus for a lifetime intending to go to hell, only to meet a pastor who preaches incorrectly, fail to hear these principles, and live a miserable life? What is the 10 billion won apartment in Seoul that we own? What is the 10 billion won land? It absolutely does not help even 1% in going to Heaven; on the contrary, if you live making those around you miserable by possessing it without sharing, you are a great sinner and a person nearing hell. The Law is the law of the community, distinct from capitalist laws; it views land and houses as belonging to God and regards all humans as sojourners living as tenants. Where in God's Word is there a statement that my land and house are not God's but my own? We must sell them immediately to save the more than 30 million people in Korea who have neither home nor land, and to save the 40 people who commit suicide every day in this "Hell Joseon." How can a believer who should be doing this hope for Heaven while living fearlessly with property and land? You are committing extremely evil acts that know absolutely nothing of love, compassion, or neighbor. In the early church, when everyone sold their houses and land and laid them at the apostles' feet, Ananias and Sapphira offered a whopping 50%, yet both were killed for hiding it. We must absolutely never acknowledge any of the powerful nations of old that violated the Law to plunder, enslave, and kill neighboring countries. Christians must do everything in their power through prayer to prevent such nations from emerging around us. China's expansionist policies of the present era are largely illegal and represent the evillest acts according to the Bible; North Korea is, without a doubt, the most wicked nation and a country that will receive the judgment of Jesus very strongly. If you believe in Jesus, you can never follow dictatorship or communism. Is it a coincidence that the Holocaust occurred in Germany, a Protestant nation, and that Jews built communism in Russia, resulting in the deaths of 100 million Christians? Humanity must not repeat such tragedies, and all Christians in Korea, China, and the entire world must prevent China from becoming like that again. If China and the United States fight, the whole world will perish, and none of us in the midst of it may truly survive. This is the reality.

We must ceaselessly proclaim that the work and purpose of Jesus' coming are perfectly identical to the purpose the Jews have pursued for 4,000 years. They will only listen if we preach while strictly observing the law, letter by letter, just as Jesus said. We absolutely cannot evangelize while living more wickedly and unjustly than them. If we live according to the law, we will come to love and practice justice. However, just as Jesus insisted to the Jews that the Law pursues love, justice, and faithfulness in its spirit, we too must absolutely know the Law letter by letter, but prioritize the practice of love.

From now on, the discussion will primarily focus on how to live after believing in Jesus, rather than the issue of believing in Jesus. In other words, I intend to mainly address the daily lives of believers who have received salvation through faith. For those who argue that it is "faith alone" and not works or the law, please look directly at the core of the issue. It is not about this issue—that is, the requirement of faith alone for obtaining salvation—but rather a discussion on the righteous life of a person whose faith has been perfectly resolved. The discussion in Romans develops in this way. It is truly not easy. I am no exception. Regarding the issue of believing and obtaining salvation, faith comes first. It is neither works nor the law. However, regarding the issue of justification, in Abraham's case, it was indeed faith alone; next, works were involved, and finally, offerings and obedience. Romans 1:17 declares that a person who believes well from beginning to end, holds that faith, and lives a life worthy of faith day by day, is declared righteous. I believe this is a passage that encompasses and covers all three stages of Abraham's faith and justification. Since the issue of justification is explained in three ways and the issue of salvation is again accomplished through faith, it seems difficult to understand this clearly. I, too, only just came to understand this part a moment ago.

On July 13, 2026, God gave me a new understanding of the issue of justification by faith. Truly, I am an insignificant person unless God makes it known to me. I rarely read the Bible with the intention of understanding something specific; I simply read and organize it. Since Romans is known as the book of justification by faith—that is, being made righteous through faith—I simply accept it. I also pay attention to the claims of Catholics and Protestants regarding whether faith is "faith alone" or if works are included in it. I, too, have focused on this and tried to understand it for a long time. However, the message I received several years ago by God's grace was the meaning of "one who believes." It was the question of what exactly "one who believes" means when we are told that we become righteous if we believe in Jesus. And I clarified this and testified. It was not something I did myself; rather, I believed in Jesus, repented, was baptized, and received forgiveness for my sins from God. They were heinous sins of the past. And I received the Holy Spirit. Even when others said that believing makes one righteous, I did not really believe it. Then, at least ten years later, I came to know that God has justified me. Believing in Jesus, receiving salvation, receiving the Holy Spirit, evangelizing, and living under the guidance of the Holy Spirit were already things to be grateful for, but I was humbled to be declared righteous as well. I then testified about the process I experienced in the Kookmin Ilbo. I also thought that this understanding would unite Catholicism and Protestantism. Recently, however, the meanings of salvation and justification have suddenly begun to be highlighted. As I explained earlier, salvation is the act of believing in Jesus and receiving forgiveness for our sins. It is becoming free from sin, death, and the law through Jesus. It is restoring the paradise that Adam lost. Salvation is enjoying eternal life. It is the deliverance of a sinner. In contrast, justification is the acknowledgment of God's righteousness that comes through the daily lives of God's saved people. Their meanings are different. Looking at Abraham, he faithfully believed in God from the age of 75, when he was called. He was declared righteous between the ages of 75 and 85. I do not know exactly how much time had passed, but it was before the age of 86, when he fathered Ishmael.

Now, justification is something that happens to those who believe in Jesus. For novice believers, the process of believing in Jesus, repenting, being baptized in His name, and receiving forgiveness for sins is important. They also receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This person is a believer; that is, the person who believes in Romans. They are a saint. Now, regarding the issue of justification, it is God declaring this saint righteous when they live their daily lives by faith. In Abraham's case, he believed in God from the moment he was first called and left home at the age of 75. After several years, he believed in the promise of descendants like the stars, and through this faith, he was justified. Then, at the age of 100, even though his body was old, he was acknowledged as righteous by believing and acting on the promise that he would have children. Finally, he was justified once again through the act of offering his son. Therefore, it is difficult to believe and be immediately righteous today. One must first become a believer. And a daily life of faith must follow. I understand it this way again today: one must become a believer, and only then must a life of faith follow to be justified. Regarding those who correctly believe that they are justified by faith alone, pastors or others should refrain from declaring them righteous. Those who understand this are blessed. In summary, salvation and justification are distinct. Justification is the process by which a person who has become a believer, holds faith, and lives a life worthy of that faith every day is declared righteous by God. This process does not occur just once, but takes place over several stages, according to God's coming and examination. Therefore, one must first become a believer before discussing justification. Do not rush; instead, receive and enjoy what you are meant to receive step by step, in order.

Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin, but you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others." (NIV)

Jesus is the God who gave the law to Israel. He rebuked them because they received the law and played with it, but He said that those who keep the law well and also love are doing an excellent job. He never once said that the law was problematic; on the contrary, He strongly—very strongly—stated that if one does not keep the law, one absolutely cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and He urged them to keep it well. I believe that if we share this Jesus with the Jews, all of them will take great interest, asking, "Is Jesus really someone who came to achieve the same purpose as us?" Indeed, in Romans, it is more important to see how believers come to keep the law than to preach about people being justified by faith and establish factions. This is because justification comes automatically from God while living a life of keeping the law by faith. This is a conclusion reached by observing Abraham's 100-year life. In other words, the important thing is not that I have been justified by believing in Jesus, that I have received salvation, and that I am now going to heaven; rather, the more important issue is how I will obey Jesus' commands and live according to the law. This is because justification comes automatically simply through living a life according to Jesus' will. Now, we must correctly grasp the core of Romans.

Therefore, the problem is that in order to move the hearts of the Israelites, we must learn and keep the law better than they do. If believers are more knowledgeable about the law and keep it better than they do, it is clear that they will take a great interest in us as they look at the observance of the law that they have strived for for thousands of years. They will inevitably wonder what amazing secret there is that makes Gentiles superior to them in knowing and keeping the law. This is the key point of evangelism for Israel.

Now, we see how a person who believes in Jesus can keep the law better than the Jews. This is truly the core of Romans. Jesus truly earnestly desires that believers keep the law better than the Jews in this way. This is because if they do so, the Jews will acknowledge it, repent, and come to believe in Jesus. When they ask what the secret is—since you know the law better, keep it better, and live more righteously than them—you simply need to explain it to them very satisfyingly and clearly through the Book of Romans by their ancestors. Romans 7:6 is a concrete depiction of a life lived by faith. It is also the secret and the answer.

Rom 7:6. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law. Therefore, we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the letter of the law.

6. We were held captive by the law, but now we have died and are freed from those restrictions. Therefore, we no longer serve according to old legal codes, but have come to serve with the new life given by the Holy Spirit.

6. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. (Revised Korean Version, Common Translation, NIV)

[However, now that we have died to what once bound us, we have been released from the law. Therefore, we serve in the new way of the Spirit. We now [live] of faith It is done under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is not a life of faith lived by the old ways—that is, by serving with the Law—used by the old man Paul or the Jews who did not yet believe in Jesus.]

As you can see, this passage is absolutely difficult to understand without understanding it in English, because the Korean translation renders "the problem of method" as "the problem of the Law." Please look at the English version and compare it with my newly translated version to see what the difference is. For Protestants who believe that it is "faith alone" and not works or the law, the above translation in the Revised Korean Common Translation is an interpretation that is like pouring oil on the fire. Given the already strong emphasis on salvation obtained through faith, not the Law or works, translating it as "old Law" or "old things of the Law" can lead to the misunderstanding that there is a problem with the Law and a new method of the Holy Spirit is needed, so we serve using the new method of the Holy Spirit. I intend to correct this.

Romans is a letter by the Apostle Paul. The author is the Apostle Paul. Paul was a man from 2,000 years ago, a Jew and a Pharisee, who lived believing he lived blamelessly according to the Law, and Jesus When He came, he was a person belonging to the upper ranks of the religious leadership group. Naturally, he was a person who did not accept the teachings of Jesus but lived with the faith of a scribe and Pharisee. The Law refers to the Pentateuch, which corresponds to the law within the Bible. The historical books are a record of 1,000 years of life based on the Pentateuch. The Psalms are records of praise to God, poetry, and the meaning of suffering within history. Furthermore, the prophetic books are prophecies regarding Israel, surrounding nations, and, most importantly, the coming and ministry of Jesus within history. First, God gave Israel laws on how to live and established covenants based on the premise that they would live according to those laws; this constitutes the Old Testament. Therefore, the most central scripture among the Bible is the Law, the Pentateuch. Those who study and teach this are the Pharisees and scribes. Paul was a disciple of Gamaliel, the most renowned of these scribes, and was an intellectual proficient in Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. However, as everyone knows, Jesus left Heaven to come directly to this earth to meet Paul, intending to bring this man Paul to repentance and use him as an apostle to the Gentiles. Paul is blinded by that radiance and, in an instant, realizes that his past law-centered life was wrong. Paul, who, as he had believed, considered the law to be of the utmost importance, firmly believed in Jesus as a mere human being, perceived Him as someone whom one must not believe in, and who arrested, imprisoned, and persecuted believers—when he met God Jesus, the Creator and Savior, he was terrified, went blind, went without food for three days, and lived as if he were dead. If one does not meet God, one can live as one pleases, speak as one pleases, and treat the Bible as one pleases. However, a person who has met God can never do so. Paul changed because he met the true God and saw His radiance. If we intentionally look at the sun, our eyes may be damaged and we may suffer, but we do not become startled or change as a person. We are astonished and changed because we have seen a light that cannot even be compared to sunlight. Repentance is the first secret. It is exactly as described in the order and content of the four Gospels. In order to keep that law better than the Jews, we must repent. I am explaining the order. I am introducing the fact that one must first repent while evangelizing to the Jews.

When anyone in this world meets God in person, they experience such fear and astonishment; he undergoes a shocking experience that he can never forget, and through this experience, he lives a life of reverence and obedience to God. I have explained the old self Paul and the old method of service. Then, Paul, following Jesus' command, went into the city to meet Ananias, received the laying on of hands, had his eyes restored, was baptized in the name of Jesus, and had all his past sins forgiven. Furthermore, having naturally received the Holy Spirit as a gift, he became a new man, a born-again Paul. Breaking away from a life of strictly observing the law, he was completely guided by the Holy Spirit to become the apostle to the Gentiles of Jesus, whom he had persecuted, and spent his entire life testifying that Jesus is the Savior and God.

And after living a life of faith for over 20 years under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, preaching the gospel to the Gentiles and establishing churches, he mobilized all his past experiences and, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, wrote a letter to Rome—which is the Epistle to the Romans that we study.

The Apostle Paul has now lived a new method of service under the guidance of the Holy Spirit for over 20 years. He is filled with experience in preaching the gospel and establishing churches under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He is also well aware of the old ways of keeping the law letter by letter, as a Jew and a Pharisee. Furthermore, he knows his own transformation better than anyone else. He understands the spiritual level of the Paul of the past and the transformation of the Paul created anew by the Holy Spirit all too well. When we believe in Jesus, receive forgiveness of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit does not merely come and remain; He makes us into new people. This is called being born again, and this is called a new creation. Thus, we become new creatures. The Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Romans is a writing by the Apostle Paul, who knows the difference between the old man Paul and the new man Paul so well. The old man Paul was a master of the Old Testament law, but he was very lacking in true love, justice, and faithfulness. Therefore, he was an object of rebuke from Jesus and could not become a saved saint.

There is a difference between the old man Paul and the new man Paul. When a saint believes in Jesus and receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, they become a born-again person like the Apostle Paul and vigorously do God's work. First of all, the Holy Spirit dwells within. The Holy Spirit, who is God, enables us to understand the Bible. Paul, who knew only the Old Testament and did not properly understand its meaning, is exactly the same as the Jews of today. The Paul of the past knew the Law—that is, the Pentateuch—very well, but he did not realize that this Pentateuch was a type of Jesus. He did not know that the sacrificial system of the Old Testament was a type of Jesus offering an atonement sacrifice by becoming the sacrificial lamb for all humanity. Furthermore, he absolutely did not know that the entire Bible contains the content of Jesus' coming, His ministry on earth, His bearing of the cross for the salvation of humanity, His resurrection, and His second coming. As the Holy Spirit made him realize that the Old Testament words he knew were perfectly words about Jesus, he became a person like Jesus who shared the Old Testament and the New Testament depending on the situation, thus becoming the figure of Matthew 13:52. How remarkably has his status changed? On top of this, miracles occur daily: the sick are healed when touched, the Holy Spirit comes upon the laying on of hands, and he prophesies and interprets. He goes directly to Heaven to clearly see the new world with his own eyes and hears the voice of Almighty God. Walking with Jesus, the Creator of the world, and receiving the inspiration and influence of the Holy Spirit, he has become a spiritual being—something the former human could never have even dreamed of. Paul has become a new creation, a created being. Everyone who believes in Jesus receives and enjoys everything that Paul enjoys as a gift of the Holy Spirit. It is not the Apostle Paul's alone, but an amazing spiritual blessing to be enjoyed by all believers who have received the Holy Spirit.

By repenting, believing in Jesus, and receiving forgiveness of sins through baptism in His name, one receives the Holy Spirit. Since the newly created believer receives the Holy Spirit and lives under the guidance of the Spirit, how can a Jew, who knows only the law and has not yet resolved the problem of sin, possibly overcome such a person?

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.” (NIV)

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.” "Therefore, every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old things." (Another Korean translation)

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." (NASB)

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

I translated the English as above.

Now, against this background, there is a passage in the Book of Ezekiel concerning the work, or mission, of the new creation; we must refer to this passage as well in order to properly understand this verse, Romans 7:6, and live accordingly. We are now discussing the power of the newness of the saints of the New Testament era, who possess a status distinct from that of the Jews. It explains the Jews, who have not yet been born again through water and the Spirit, and the new creations who have been born again by receiving the Holy Spirit and having their sins forgiven through Jesus. It also explains the saints who live under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, neither living according to their own will nor strictly observing the law. Furthermore, the Book of Ezekiel perfectly prophesies about such New Testament saints.

Ezekiel 36:24. I will bring you out from among the nations and gather you from among the peoples and bring you back to your own land.

25. I will sprinkle clean water on you to cleanse you; I will cleanse you from all your impurity and from all your idolatry.

26. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

27. I will put my Spirit in you and make you walk in my statutes and keep my ordinances. (NIV)

This is a prophecy regarding the work that the Holy Spirit comes to do. We must keep this verse in our hearts as we look at Romans 7:6. Only then will we be able to fully understand its original meaning.

Now, let us return to the text. In the old method of serving through the law, there was the "old man" Paul, who was the subject of that service. There was Paul—an ordinary human being without the Holy Spirit, Jesus, or forgiveness for sins; yet, as a Jew, he knew the law well. Since this Paul had neither the Holy Spirit nor Jesus, and was not a new creation, he acted as the "old man" Paul, proclaiming that the law is supreme. He believed and ranted that living according to the law would make him righteous, ensure his life, and lead him to heaven. Furthermore, he was filled with a sense of being the chosen people toward the Gentiles. However, in reality, while missing out on the love, justice, and faithfulness that the law pursues, he lived as a hypocrite and a brood of vipers in the eyes of Jesus. Moreover, the center of his service—that is, his way of life—was a life of formally observing the law letter by letter. It is regarding this way of life that I call it the "old method." I am absolutely, absolutely not pointing out the law itself, even if the sky were to split in two. The method of service was old, and the person serving was the old man. The problem lies in this old method and this old man. And having believed in Jesus and received the Holy Spirit, it means that we now follow a new way of serving under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is the precise meaning of Romans 7:6. Therefore, translating this verse as "old law" or "the oldness of the law" is an act of disrespect toward the Word of the Bible. The Law is the foundation of the Bible; it is the object of praise and reverence for both Old and New Testament saints, and it is the Word of God—the Pentateuch—that exists without a single jot or tittle changing even if the entire earth, people, and universe were to disappear. Truly, truly, this is so. Please remember this clearly. The old man Paul, who did not know Jesus and served only the Law, has died. The problem was the method of service that the old man used, not by any means the Law, which is the object of praise. All New Testament saints who fail to understand this stumble and fall. They can never reach Jesus' command to keep the Law well.

Romans 7:6 explains that the old man Paul has now abandoned the old way of serving, and that the new man Paul now serves in a new way. The new man Paul is, of course, the Paul of the new creation, who has been born again. This is the Apostle Paul, whom the Holy Spirit has caused to be born again. He is a new man, Paul, whose spiritual dimension is completely different. This means that this man, Paul, now serves in a new way through the Holy Spirit, living under the guidance of the indwelling Almighty God (the Holy Spirit). Like in the Book of Ezekiel, Paul is a man whose heart has been softened by the power of the Holy Spirit, allowing him to faithfully keep the law. He has become a Paul who faithfully observes even the spirit of the law—love, justice, and faithfulness—which he failed to do in the past. Who does this? It is made possible by the help of the Holy Spirit for the new man, Paul. Furthermore, the results of this new 20 years of service are explained in Romans 13:7-10, Romans 3:31, Romans 8:3-4, and Romans 14:17. We will look up these verses and examine them carefully to understand what this content is and what its meaning is. I believe that the study of Romans should go beyond the issue of justification and focus more on the life that believers enjoy through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I believe that this is truly the will that God genuinely intends to accomplish through Jesus' shedding of blood, His resurrection, and the gift of the Holy Spirit to the believers.

Human salvation is the total mobilization of the Triune God. The Father, out of love, planned salvation, and through the shedding of His Son Jesus and His death on the cross, He saves us, who are sinners. Then, the Holy Spirit comes to cause us to be born again. Furthermore, there is work that the saints, who have been saved and received the Holy Spirit through all these processes, must do under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I firmly believe that this is God’s most earnest hope for all of humanity. Every single believer in Jesus must realize this will of God and live according to it. It is the mission of the saints, an act of respect and love toward the God who saved us. That work is precisely to build the Kingdom of God on this earth. It is to bring God’s will to fruition and to seek His righteousness. The Holy Spirit unfailingly guides us, the saved, in this way. It is the will of Jesus, our Lord. You must remember that it is a sin if an individual attempts to do as they please with the One who created heaven and earth and gave His Son for the sake of personal glory, prosperity, or success. This will be the purpose of the writing of Romans. We must understand this amazing and great mission of the saints through Romans. Every single believer must understand this without exception.

To build this Kingdom of God, believers must be guided by the Holy Spirit and love God and their neighbors. Love for God means living according to His will, and love for one's neighbor means bearing witness to Jesus. The greatest love a person can practice is to rescue a neighbor from death. Evangelism is the salvation of souls. Therefore, those who love—those who love God and their neighbors—are fulfilling the Law. This is because the Law is the statute God gave us to practice love. By fulfilling the Law through this love, we overcome the Jews' attempt to keep the Law by their own strength. It is also the way to resemble the Apostle Paul. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit of Truth, delivers us from unrighteousness and prevents us from going toward evil. In other words, He enables us to live righteously so that we are not stained by sin. By doing so, we fulfill all the righteous requirements of the Law, as stated in Romans 8:3-4. By doing so, we actually establish the Law firmly through our faith in Jesus. This is the true will and purpose of Jesus’ salvation of humanity. It is also the work of the Holy Spirit. He is the Triune God, worthy of eternal praise. Hallelujah!

There is hope that all who believe in Jesus will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, become new, and perform such amazing works. As God’s masterpieces—becoming people of a different dimension and doing works of a different dimension—we are in a field where we must pour out our utmost devotion. The Apostle Paul lived a life completely abandoned in eating, drinking, and living well. Since the mere 70 years of life we choose while living on this earth determine our eternal life, a truly wise person never gets a taste for the world, but rejoices in the guidance of the Holy Spirit today and tomorrow, just like Paul. Now, let us look at the work the Holy Spirit does through us in turn.

Love is the Fulfillment of the Law

Romans 13:8. ○Owe no one anything except love. For he who loves others has fulfilled the law.

9. “Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet.” And if there is any other commandment, it is all summed up in this: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

10. Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law. (NIV)

Romans 3:31. Do we then nullify the law by faith? By no means! Rather, we uphold the law. (NIV)

Romans 8:3 What the law could not do, because it was weak due to the flesh, God did: by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh,

4 so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (NIV)

Both we and the Jews are justified by the law, but it is extremely difficult to do so by our own strength. Therefore, the Triune God carries out total mobilization evangelism—that is, the salvation of humanity—through Jesus. He gives the Holy Spirit as a gift to those who believe in Jesus, so that through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the law is completed, firmly established, and the righteous requirements of the law are fulfilled. That is why Jesus told His disciples to receive the Holy Spirit and take action. The work done after receiving the Holy Spirit is for the old self to depart and for the new self to evangelize. Evangelism is the greatest and most significant act of love. And one lives a good life. One lives by sharing and giving. As one lives this way, one sees the fulfillment of the law that one could not achieve even if one tried to the death in the past. Why is this? Because every statute of the law is a command to love, live righteously, and live faithfully. Here lies the most crucial core of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit guides us on the path of love through the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge. A person born again with a softened heart casts aside the old self and lives a good life. An evil and violent person becomes a gentle lamb. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit enables us to fulfill the righteous demands of the law, which we could not accomplish in the flesh, through His help. In other words, it means living a righteous life without being steeped in the injustice of the world. I understood the words of Romans 1:17, "living by faith," as believing in Jesus and living a life worthy of that faith every single day. That way of life is precisely a life lived under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is absolutely not something we do according to our own will. It is absolutely not about seeking to eat well and live well according to our own desires and hopes. With 70% of the entire population landless and 50% homeless, and 40 people committing suicide every day due to the extreme hardship of this situation, the Holy Spirit absolutely does not lead us toward excessively accumulating houses, cars, and gratuities that would only exacerbate the reality. When you become a pastor, you must instead seek to rectify these national problems by being guided by the Holy Spirit to cry out, "Share your possessions!" "Be considerate of your neighbors!" "In this small country of Korea, do not possess excessive houses, cars, or land out of consideration for your neighbors!" This is the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is how everyone comes to live happily. God, who truly loves us, intends to save this world in this way through His children.

Furthermore, guided by the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul keeps Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-20 exactly as they are, and becomes great in the Kingdom of Heaven. He teaches this. He says that all believers must live this way. This is because only then can the Kingdom of Heaven be established on this earth. This was also revealed in Romans. Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-20 contain the content of building such an amazing and great Kingdom of Heaven. How can a pastor who does not properly understand these verses, preach them, or even try to keep them be called a servant of Jesus? All pastors in Korea and in the world who have failed to live this way must repent with tears for days and days and live according to these words. And you must proclaim this word to the saints without ceasing so that it may be fulfilled on this earth, and so that both you and the saints may go to heaven and live as great people there. A person who lives in this way is fulfilling the mission of a pastor.

Romans 14:17. "For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Spirit." (NIV) / The appearance of a kingdom where the law is fulfilled with the help of the Holy Spirit.

When believers keep the law under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that kingdom becomes just; a just kingdom is peaceful, and because there is justice and peace, everyone is happy. There is joy. Jesus establishes this kingdom exactly in this way. No one can deny it. The Book of Romans is the blueprint for establishing the Kingdom of God. How much further must we go beyond faith alone? Why do you stake your entire life on eating well and living well through faith alone—things that unbelievers obsess over? Those who dream of eternal life as God's people are so obsessed with the issues of eating and drinking, which are pursued by worldly people who know neither Jesus, the Bible, nor the church, and who are destined for hell. Why do people over 60 keep their wealth and share it? I hope you will sell it all quickly and share it. Only when all Koreans over 60 live like this will there be hope for this kingdom. However, I ponder how to establish His kingdom. This requires living by the law and influencing others to live by the law, but since it is difficult to do so by my own strength, I live by following the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is a blessing to live following the Holy Spirit, who is God and knows, embraces, and holds the entire universe—which cannot be compared to my small mind. What is the use of boasting about Harvard or Seoul National University when you do not even know the Bible? Does this university lead me to heaven? Absolutely not. Knowing and practicing these biblical principles is the path to heaven. You have all been appointed as workers to build that kingdom, embracing the universe and eternity. You are people of such precious calling. Please take courage and walk the path of a wonderful victory.

Just a moment ago, I visited where my mother-in-law and brother-in-law live. I bought fish, salted it a little, dried it, and preserved it, and shared it with them. I shared pomfret, shrimp, flounder, and a fish that looked like frozen pollack. A long time ago, an idea to make a lot of money came to me. About 20 years ago, the mobile phone was first released. And Daewoo developed the automatic dial telephone. It was a phone that would connect with just a single digit, without requiring you to input all the numbers. An amazing idea immediately struck me, so I went to the patent office to search for such an idea, but I couldn't find one. There was absolutely no reason for it to exist, as they were all newly released products, and the idea was to create a new product by connecting existing ones. First, an electric switch is installed on the entrance door. Then, when leaving the house or the store, if a thief—not me—opens the door, it automatically connects to the automatic dialing phone at home, which then sends a signal to me—it was a security idea. I took this idea and went to Cheonho-dong to evangelize. However, the hardware store staff confined me to a small space and blocked me. They even took a military bayonet from their desk. They said, "Do you truly believe in Jesus? Then stake your life on preaching to me." But the Holy Spirit, who is always with me, gave me a bold heart, so I did not tremble at all. And I boldly preached the gospel. However, the man who had heard everything seemed somewhat dissatisfied. I had no interest in my own life or death. It is true. Then I gave this man the idea I knew. At that, he was satisfied. And he let me go. And after three months, this product was produced and advertised in a full-page ad in the Chosun Ilbo. Although the signal was initially sent only to my mobile phone, this product allowed for simultaneous reporting to three locations: the user, the police station, and an acquaintance.

It is absolutely true. Then, several years later, an even more astonishing idea came my way. To someone who didn't even know much about statistics, I received a proposal to save over 1 trillion won in budget by reducing traffic accident fatalities by 2,000 using statistics that no one else had ever thought of. It really wasn't my own work. How did this happen? It was a groundbreaking idea that would also reduce the number of injured people by tens of thousands. I happened to look at statistics on traffic accident deaths and injuries and saw a shocking fact. While the number of child traffic accident fatalities during the morning hours of 7–9 am was around 25 per year across the entire country, surprisingly, the number of fatalities during the same time slot when children leave school—4–6 pm—was around 75, accounting for about three times that figure. I wondered why that was, and then, ah! The Green Mothers' Association came to mind. I observed that because mothers volunteer at crosswalks on the way to school in the morning holding green flags for their children, there were fewer fatalities in the morning; however, since there were no such volunteers in the evening, I saw that more students traveling the same route were dying. It was a staggering three times higher. So, I looked at the statistics and identified the time and location with the highest number of fatalities. It was in urban areas, during the early morning hours, and during the evening. Between 5 and 7 AM, drivers just speed recklessly, so people crossing the crosswalk in the early morning die, and those going to early morning prayers are always in danger. Then there was the 10 PM time slot. I realized that if elderly people were to conduct traffic enforcement at crosswalks during these hours for four hours a day, just like the "Green Mothers," it would cost approximately 250 billion won nationwide, which would essentially provide new jobs for the elderly. About 3,000 people die at crosswalks during these hours annually, but based on the statistics above, deploying the elderly would reduce that number to the 1,000s. When I investigated the benefits from death insurance and compensation for the injured, it generated a profit of over 1 trillion won.

I immediately proposed this to the government. And after several years, I saw exactly what the elderly were doing. And I have seen Abraham's great sword in the Bible throughout the world. I have also seen the light of the East. Naturally, it is God who opened the way for me to see it. I am the first person on earth to use this word, and I am conveying it to the whole world in writing. God is not petty. He repays those who give with amazing blessings. Please take courage, share, and save the lives of your neighbors.

I have spent a long time explaining this principle over several days. I, too, seek the help of the Holy Spirit in every aspect, pray, and kneel without ceasing as I convey this message. It is filled only with God's love and grace. Hallelujah! I have illustrated this in a diagram so that everyone can easily understand it.

Jesus is the God of us all. He is the One who loves not only Jews, nor Christians, but Muslims as well; He is the One who fully knows Abraham and receives his worship. We see that Abraham’s faith—that is, Abraham keeping the law—is perfectly identical to us keeping the law through the Holy Spirit. He is the only human being who was called a friend of God. How kind, how loving, how great in faith, how just, and how excellently obedient He was to God, and who offered everything without reservation. This is the ancestor of you and me, as well as of the Jews, Arabs, and people of the Middle East. Through this Abraham, we can all become one again. God is love, and through that love, Jesus came to save us and enable us to love Him. I believe that this love also fulfills the law. I believe that Israel, which desires justice and love, has no justification for rejecting this gospel. We are a people who must live according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit to move Israel and overcome them. I believe and proclaim that the mission of our nation lies in this. Please do not waver.

Those who watched the previous sermon on the Pentateuch to the end may have found it strange that there was no explanation regarding the work of the Holy Spirit. However, it is normal for you to feel that there were shortcomings in the explanation regarding Israel's unity, which was based on the shared purpose of the law. We must now begin with that part, which is precisely what the Apostle Paul emphasized. There is an amazing fact stemming from Israel's unchanging faith in the Old Testament and the Pentateuch for 4,200 years, as well as their pride in their ancestor Abraham. Their faith differs from ours, which involves confessing to God as sinners and relying on the precious blood of Jesus and the cross. First of all, Abraham was a man who barely showed the presence of the Holy Spirit; he appeared to be virtually blameless in his faith, conduct, and keeping of the law—to the extent that he was called a friend of God—as he feared, obeyed, walked with, and offered to God. Furthermore, God's eval‎uation of him after his death is the highest and strongest that a human being can receive. And from them, Israel is born. This nation, which grew to millions through Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph in Egypt, was uniquely chosen by God on earth to receive the Law, the Tabernacle, and the special privilege of forgiveness for sins through the blood of animals. After living this way for 1,000 years, they eventually faced destruction because they did not listen to God’s word through the prophets, disobeyed, and failed to keep the Law. Even when Jesus came, with the exception of the disciples and the crowds following Him, they continued to live considering themselves righteous.

Before Jesus came, God urged repentance through John the Baptist. Many people repented of their sins at the Jordan River and were baptized. However, the leadership remained unyielding and instead beheaded John the Baptist. Then Jesus came and preached repentance from the very beginning. Yet, these people did not realize that they were sinners. Why? They had the traditions of Abraham and the tradition of living by the Law, as well as the sacrificial system and the words of the Old Testament. They considered themselves righteous because they were the chosen people, a righteous nation, and lived according to the law while strictly keeping the laws given by God. And although they were rebuked by Jesus, they did not listen. Among those who opposed Jesus, Jesus personally sought out and met the most vicious and most excellent person in the Law. Paul, having truly met God, realized that the world he knew and believed in was completely wrong and repented. He received the Holy Spirit and was born again; he examined the Old Testament and came to believe that all its words were prophecies about Jesus. And, as recorded in the Bible and as taught by Jesus, he went to Heaven himself to see everything. Now, there is hardly anything left that is unclear. And as they preach the gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit, they perform feats they could not do before, with the help of the Holy Spirit. And they write the Book of Romans. We see God's love and salvation not only for Israel but for all humanity. The Old Testament prophesies about this Jesus without ceasing from beginning to end. And Israel enjoyed an opportunity of about 1,000 years, which no other nation could experience. Now, through the Book of Romans, we hear the voice of God.

First, Romans chapters 1–3 reveal that everyone is a sinner. Although the Law reveals sin, violating even a single provision of the Law makes one a sinner; since no one can perfectly keep all the Law, it clarifies that both Jews and Gentiles are sinners. Furthermore, it explains that due to Adam's transgression, all people on earth have sinned and fallen from the glorious life and position they enjoyed in Eden. Once people became sinners in this way, the Law presented a path for forgiveness through the sacrifice of animals—which Israel had practiced countless times for a thousand years—and through which they enjoyed special privileges. This also serves as a foreshadowing of the ministry performed by Jesus. Therefore, it explains that, as prophesied, Jesus, the Son of God, came as a virgin, shed His blood for all humanity, died on the cross, and resurrected. It explains that in this event of the cross, God's love for humanity and the shedding of Jesus' blood and death as punishment for the sins of all mankind are manifested on the cross as God's justice. Now, it has become clear that both Gentiles and Jews are sinners. Furthermore, the Bible explains that salvation from sin is not achieved through the keeping of the law, nor through human good deeds, nor through any other religion; there is only one way: believing in Jesus as the Savior. God has never given a name under heaven by which we can be saved other than Jesus. The proclamation that we are justified by faith in Jesus is not a new event; it was already proclaimed to Abraham and Habakkuk through the books of the Law and the Prophets. Therefore, believing in Jesus has now become the most important thing. However, there may be a question from some who ask, "Wasn't Abraham perfectly acknowledged by God as the father of Israel?" To address this, it is proven that Abraham's descendants are not physically descendants, but rather believers who have repented, believed in Jesus, and been spiritually born again—they are Abraham's descendants through faith. This is strongly explained in other scriptures, specifically Romans chapters 1-5. It states that we are justified by faith, and that we can absolutely never be justified by the works of the law. Why is that? This is because Jesus Himself came to this earth as prophesied, shed His blood as prophesied, and died on the cross, thereby completing the atonement for the sacrificial system that was prophesied over 300 times in the Old Testament and demonstrated for 1,000 years. The Son of God, who is truly the Savior and the Messiah of Old Testament prophecy, came and bore the sins of all humanity, bearing the cross and dying. Even after Jesus, Israel rejected this truth for another 2,000 years and suffered countless persecutions at the hands of nations and peoples who believed in Jesus.

Who solves this difficult problem? Furthermore, although the nation was established on the former land of Israel after 2,500 years, it is a land occupied and inhabited by Palestine for a long time, and it is surrounded by Middle Eastern, Arab, and Islamic nations, all of which attack together. Who understands them and saves them with love? It must be a nation that has not quarreled with one another or caused harm for 4,200 years. And it must be a nation that has suffered the same hardships as itself. Furthermore, as fellow Semitic peoples, there must be a sense of homogeneity. However, as a small nation, we have suffered 1,000 foreign invasions throughout our 3,000-year history; our country became a vassal state of Japan, and we lived constantly watching our backs and holding our breath in the face of pressure from the great power of China and Mongol invasions. Our country was devastated by the Imjin War and the Byeongja War, and countless people were taken as slaves or died. Yet, we are likely the only nation on Earth that does not harbor resentment or seek retaliation against them. I am someone who believes that our country must save Israel. I believe we must understand their 4,200 years of thorny history and offer them comfort. Moreover, we must proclaim the true Gospel—that is, that Jesus came not to eliminate or destroy the Jews and establish a new nation, but to establish a nation governed by the Law, which Israel has long sought to achieve. We must acknowledge that all Christian nations and peoples who invaded, enslaved, and even attempted to exterminate Israel without proclaiming this truth have committed evil acts for which Israel must offer a grave apology. We must comfort them while ensuring that such actions are never repeated.

However, we must make it known that Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, who patiently endured and witnessed Israel establish its nation through the Law for a thousand years, have now made it their goal of salvation to save not only Israel but all of humanity, so that these people may together keep the Law that Israel has solitarily observed, thereby establishing the Kingdom of God where the Law reigns. I believe we must convey that this is also found in the Book of Ezekiel, the Old Testament prophetic book they so firmly believe in, so that they may understand it. If you look at the text again, it is accurate.

** Ezekiel 36:24 I will bring you out from among the nations and gather you from among the peoples and bring you back to your own land.

25 I will sprinkle clean water on you to cleanse you; I will cleanse you from all your impurity and from all your idolatry.

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

27 I will put my Spirit in you and make you walk in my statutes and keep my ordinances.

28 You will dwell in the land I gave to your ancestors, and you will be my people, and I will be your God.

And earlier, regarding the work that the Holy Spirit does when He comes, I spoke of Romans 7:6, and as a result, how the law is firmly established, perfected, and its righteous requirements fulfilled. Now, we must convey the amazing and joyful news that the God of the Old Testament—that is, the Triune God—has come together to save all of humanity, enabling them to keep the Law, the object of great praise, which Israel alone tried to observe with their own strength for thousands of years, arduously, without rest, or giving up. Furthermore, we must comfort them by clarifying that it is a truly precious thing that, through Israel’s 2,500 years of wandering and a life of keeping the Law wherever they went, all of humanity came to know the Law, which is the constitution of the Kingdom of God. Looking at the above verses verse by verse, first, the meaning of cleansing with water is that since Jesus has come, one must repent and be cleansed by baptism in His name. Now, the Holy Spirit comes automatically as a gift to the saints who have repented and received forgiveness of sins; the Holy Spirit causes them to be born again and softens their hearts. Now, they are enabled to keep and perfect the Law under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We must clarify that this is the will of the Triune God for all of humanity, that is, for both Jews and Gentiles.

Now, as all people on earth who believe in Jesus fulfill and firmly establish the Law through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God, where the Law reigns, has come to the whole world. Israel must stop the arduous path it has walked alone for thousands of years. Now is the time for them to believe in Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit, and step forward to establish the Law through the power of the Spirit, just like us. This truth has already been revealed in the life and writings of the Apostle Paul, and Abraham, the ancestor of Israel, also lived a life of faithfully observing the Law. In Heaven, Abraham must have acknowledged Paul as his true descendant as he witnessed his life of fulfilling the Law through the Holy Spirit. And I firmly believe that he will rejoice with Paul as he sees him enjoying eternal life as the greatest in Heaven. Indeed, the Apostle Paul is the one who has faithfully replicated Abraham's life. Both physically and through faith, the Apostle Paul is a true descendant of Abraham 2,000 years later. And I believe that through our Lord Jesus, they will enjoy eternal life as the greatest in Heaven, and that both of them will devote everything to praising our Lord and the Law.

And for a person from Korea—who knew nothing of Abraham, the Law, or the Bible, yet is now studying the Old and New Testaments and proclaiming the truth—is solely due to the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, the atoning love of the cross, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit empowered by them. Truly, our Lord Jesus cannot but be the living Son of God. Hallelujah!

Please believe that the work I am doing is absolutely not something a human being can accomplish. I also make this clear: it is absolutely not my own study or research. Furthermore, even I am constantly gaining new understandings up to this very moment. To assume that believing in Jesus and receiving salvation automatically leads to justification—that is, being declared righteous—is neither the content nor the teaching of the Bible. Anyone who is deceived here is finished. In other words, they are going down the wrong path. First, it is important for a sinner to believe in Jesus as their Savior. Then, they must repent and receive baptism in His name. Then, God will forgive this person's sins. And the gift of the Holy Spirit will surely come. Now, this person has become a believer. The believer in Romans is such a person. And the process of this person being justified is waiting in order. Absolutely, believing in Jesus and receiving salvation must come first. In other words, it means you must become a believer. You must understand these concepts separately. Mixing them up will lead to serious trouble. That is, you must be careful not to understand that being declared righteous equates to receiving salvation, nor must you accept that receiving salvation automatically makes you righteous. Furthermore, you must be cautious of the notion that faith alone makes one righteous. If you emulate Abraham’s hundred-year life—that is, if you live a life of faith day by day—God will declare that person righteous at the appropriate time. In other words, if you follow the Holy Spirit, obey well, evangelize, live a good life, and delight in sharing, God will declare you righteous when the time comes. It may become problematic if you skip the daily procedures of a saint's life—perhaps the journey of a godly life befitting one's lifelong faith—and claim to be righteous simply because you believe. Please be careful. You might be recognized as righteous in that way once. However, a believer who milks this one thing for their entire life without love, deeds, or offerings is like the rich young man and will face rebuke. It may become extremely difficult for them to enter Heaven.

We must look squarely at Israel, which seeks to be governed by the Law of approximately 4,200 years, which received and preserved the Law, and which still insists on living according to the Law. When reading the writings of the Apostle Paul, we must carefully consider the meaning that there is no justification or salvation by works of the Law, but only by faith, and that this faith is faith in Jesus, the Son of God. We Gentile Christians, who lived as we pleased without the Law, are now blindly believing that we have been made righteous by believing in Jesus, and are shouting that it is neither the Law nor works. Furthermore, if we now claim to believe in Jesus but do not learn or keep the Law, it will appear extremely strange in the eyes of the Israelites. We, as Gentiles, must pay close attention to the Apostle Paul’s cry through the Epistle to the Romans, which is directed at the nation of Israel, hardened by 4,200 years of the Law, and seeks to save that nation. If Gentiles, who have no history of the Law, lightly accept it and say, "Let us cast the Law aside now, believe in Jesus, and live as we please," such a life and attitude is precisely hell.

Saints of Korea! By believing in Jesus, we have received the Holy Spirit. Please consider the Kingdom of God on this earth, where the law reigns, having been perfected and firmly established through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Please consider the work of establishing that kingdom. Furthermore, please consider that establishing that kingdom is the most earnest hope of our Lord Jesus.

However, those who cast aside the law and their works to live recklessly become people who are completely unrelated to the building of this Kingdom of God. It was to prevent such corruption that Jesus spoke in Matthew 5:17-20. He clarified that one must keep the law well to become great, and that if one does not keep it well, one can absolutely never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. As Jesus said, those who live recklessly without the standard of the law will undoubtedly go to hell.

We must now look back on how much our 2,000 years of Christianity have lived lives consistent with the original meaning of the Bible. Truly, the building of the Kingdom of God is proceeding ceaselessly throughout all human history, through Israel, through the Bible, and through the law. And it must be accomplished through us, who have been saved by the coming of our Lord Jesus and His blood and death. It must be accomplished through us, who have received justification from Him. And it must be accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit.

You are a great warrior invited to the construction of the Kingdom of God, which permeates the entire history of mankind. You, who possess such an amazing and precious status, are you not distancing yourself from both the Holy Spirit and the Law, and becoming immersed in the glory of the world? In particular, the status of Korean saints is truly astonishing—a status that all nations and tribes envy. Please do not forget this, and devote yourself to this amazing and great journey. The meaning of salvation and justification for Koreans lies here. Please strive hard. Please cut off the desires of the world. Please live today by firmly believing only in Jesus and following the Holy Spirit.

Now, let us look at the lives of Israelites who, although they do not believe in Jesus, believe in the Law and the Old Testament. Jews love God and their neighbors according to the Law, and they live honestly in accordance with the Law. They act in accordance with trust among people, and when the nation or the people of Israel face difficulties, they consider it their own business and unite as one. This is because the teachings of the Law are to do so. Furthermore, they treat Israelites as brothers and help Jews who are in material need. This is because the Law commanded them to love their brothers. This solidarity is remarkable. The tradition of caring for one another continues ceaselessly. The whole world knows this. This is because the Law teaches them to live that way.

However, they look at nations and people who believe in Jesus. First, in the case of Korea, while claiming to believe in Jesus, they attend church and become elders, deaconesses, or pastors; they live thinking, "Even if the nation is in trouble, as long as I live well, that is enough," and "Even if neighbors or brothers are dying, as long as I am faithful to the church, that is the end of it." This is a life that is less than human. In other words, they turn a blind eye to the reality where 30 to 35 million people lament having neither home nor land due to the assault of capitalism, where 40 people commit suicide every day, where young people unable to marry are appearing one after another, and where the elderly die in solitary isolation in nursing homes with no one else around. The Jews observe the lives enjoyed by the pastors of megachurches with 1,000 members who live with the mindset that "as long as I live well, that is enough." They observe the cold, indifferent lives of wealthy elders and senior deaconesses. If such pastors and elders were to tell the Jews of Israel, "Jesus is the truth and the life, so believe in Him," not a single Jew would ever believe in Jesus. Their righteousness is superior. That is, the lives of those who strive to live for the community by keeping the law are considered far more righteous.

The lives of these Jews become far more precious, righteous, and acknowledged by God than the lives of wealthy Korean believers who work themselves to death to accumulate wealth just to eat well and live well alone. All humans in this state are, according to the words of Jesus, hell. They will absolutely never enter heaven.

** And since Christian nations, such as Germany, attempted to exterminate the Jews who love God and live faithfully according to the law in their own way, how can they believe in the Jesus whom Germany believes in? Please look at what nation on earth, throughout 2,000 years of global history, has sought to save this people with love by obeying the words of Romans 11, where the Apostle Paul instructed us to respect and humbly love the Jews.

The prosperity of the United States has embraced the people of this nation and enabled them to realize all their dreams. Furthermore, it tirelessly helps Israel in various ways. It is truly doing work that will bring blessings. Without this background, people have emerged in Korea who criticize Israel by siding with China, the Middle East, and North Korea. Our nation should be doing the work that the United States is doing toward Israel, yet they are exerting a very evil influence on this matter.

If the work done by Jesus, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Son of God, was to harm the Jews and destroy Israel, then the faith we believe in would also be in vain. And if Paul, whose apostle was also a Jew and who deeply loved the Jews, had spent his entire life doing things harmful to them, then our faith would also be in vain. However, both Jesus and His disciple Paul did things that were greatly helpful to Israel and the Jews. This is because He came to save all people in the world, to learn well the Law that the Jews have fought to keep alone for thousands of years, and to establish a world where the whole world keeps the Law and is governed according to it. Israel still misunderstands this, just as they did 2,000 years ago. I believe that Israel's salvation will be achieved through loving and understanding Israel, and through us proclaiming this truth through Jesus.

Furthermore, through Jesus, we learn the Old Testament and come to know Abraham; we live our lives of faith with respect for his life, taking him as a predecessor, a teacher, or an example, and it is through that faith that we have actually become his descendants. This, too, is completely consistent with Israel. We also believe the words of the Old Testament, verse by verse, as the Word of God. This, too, is consistent. And we 100% support the Law-centered life that Israel pursues without ceasing. And we express awe regarding Israel’s thousands of years of effort, their arduous lives, and their great achievement in preserving the Bible. We respect and revere them. And we wish to share in their pain. However, having witnessed Israel ultimately fail to live according to the laws given by God for a thousand years and the nation’s downfall, we do not attempt to keep the law in the same way as Israel. Instead, as prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel and as Jesus came and spoke, we seek to accomplish that precious work (the fulfillment of the law, its establishment, and the fulfillment of its righteous demands) by believing in His blood and the atoning sacrifice of the cross, receiving salvation and justification, and receiving the Holy Spirit, guided by the Spirit. That is why we seek to establish the Kingdom of God on this earth. I believe this is the mission of all believers on this earth, and I believe that there can be no exceptions to this mission, whether Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox. I would like to call this the Light of the East and the Gospel of Peace. The life of the Apostle Paul was like this. And His Epistle to the Romans is written exactly as follows. I have reviewed the entire Epistle to the Romans.

We met Abraham through Jesus, and by believing in Jesus, we became His descendants. Through his life, we learn various things about faith and keeping the law. Israel sought to become like Abraham through the Law, and we seek to become like Abraham by believing in Jesus. The help of the Holy Spirit is always necessary. Israel is an object of respect and love. We can become one with one another through Abraham, and we become one with Israel by fulfilling the Law through Jesus and with the help of the Holy Spirit. However, Israel must reflect on its own stubbornness of 2,000 years, and by looking at the writings and life of its ancestor, the Apostle Paul, they must look back on a life of trying to keep the Law solely through their own efforts. They must believe that there is a life of a vastly different, higher dimension, and follow it accordingly to come quickly to Jesus.

They must experience receiving the amazing power of the Holy Spirit and fulfilling the Law. I believe that the time has come for that.

Furthermore, all who believe in Jesus must know the Law better than these people, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, keep the Law better and live a faithful life than them. In other words, they must give glory to God through a life of more love, more justice, and more faithfulness than them. In other words, we must make them believe that living by their own strength while clinging only to the law is incomparable to living a life of such high quality and nobility—one that believes in Jesus, receives the Holy Spirit, and embraces and loves the nation and all of humanity. I believe that Christians all over the world must strive in this way. Hallelujah! I give all glory to God. I thank everyone who has read this long message. I believe that the Lord of Glory is with you and that the Holy Spirit will inspire you. I believe that you will advance in the Lord's precious work. And I bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus that you may receive and enjoy all blessings.

※ The Path to Becoming One with the Middle East, Arab World, and Islam Through Abraham

Hallelujah! In the previous two posts, I provided explanations based on an understanding of the Bible, utilizing the knowledge I gained from general universities, graduate schools, and theological seminaries, as well as reading, organizing, and evangelizing the Bible under the guidance of God who gave me the Holy Spirit. I did not reach this point by chance; while it is partly the result of over 40 years of ceaseless study since leaving the bank, it is entirely due to the help of the Holy Spirit. I mention my career and academic background to prove to those who might consider me more educated than myself that I am by no means an uneducated person. However, this cannot be a source of boasting, as there are far too many people more educated than me, and it serves to prove that I did not explore the Bible based on my own acquired knowledge, but rather through what God has given me at all times. When God gives me new content, I receive it immediately and write it down right away. Then, I convey it with swift, uninterrupted speed. I want to reiterate that this is absolutely not a matter of study or research.

I repented through God's coming, and five years later, I received fire directly from Jesus. Since then, I have evangelized, studied theology, and read and organized the Bible. I have shared this. I have posted directly over the past eight years. In this process, I witnessed myself transcending the human limitations of my learning several times during the early stages. It is the power of the Holy Spirit. It is said that the Word of God is living and active, sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing and dividing soul and spirit and joints; I have also experienced the sword of the Word cutting my own body. I have lived my life in my own way, but when I sought to discuss this issue, all I knew from the Bible was that Abraham had eight sons. One of them was Ishmael, from whom the twelve tribes emerged, becoming the Arab people. Later, through Keturah, six sons appeared. I only knew that they lived in the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East and likely played an important role in the formation of these nations. Therefore, I felt extremely inadequate and reached my limits. Furthermore, unlike the Semites—whom the tribe of Japheth migrated to Europe and the tribe of Ham to Africa after Noah's Flood—the Semites also migrated to and settled in the Middle East. Research on these people is essential for understanding the Middle East and the Arab world. Therefore, I am learning again through the materials uploaded by researchers. Now, I have come to realize how, despite claiming to believe in Jesus, I have lived with a closed heart and an unlearning attitude toward Islam, treating them with hostility.

In fact, even if you do not believe in Buddhism, you can gain a deep understanding of its core philosophy through study. You simply need to understand it systematically: the Law of Dependent Origination, which is the most central principle; the Four Noble Truths, which offer diagnoses and solutions for reality; and the Eightfold Path, which represents the concrete practice of these principles. By doing so, you will understand Buddhism more accurately and deeply than a Buddhist believer.

Furthermore, regarding communist theory, we know that Marx, while living in Russia as a Jew, first conceived of creating a world that would be harmless to their people. He synthesized German philosophy, specifically Hegel's dialectics; British economics, such as Ricardo's labor theory; and French sociology, such as the theory of proletarian revolution. He then developed the theory of communism, which was put into action by Lenin, a Jew. It is known that approximately 70% of the Russian cabinet consisted of Jewish ministers. This time, Russia ravaged Germany, and through this, communism as a whole killed about 100 million Europeans. Most of them were likely Christians. After 6 million people had died, communism, created by Jews, killed approximately 100 million European Christians. There is no one who knows or studies this, but it is the truth. Even now, there are followers in Korea of the communist theories created by Jews. There are large numbers of them in China, as well as in North Korea and Russia; the people they hate most and want to eliminate are Christians. Why does this happen? Christians massacred the Jews. Therefore, in order to survive, they used their best minds to create a new ideology, but unfortunately, that ideology was one that attacked the German Christians who had killed them, using Russia as a means. It became an ideology aimed at eliminating and killing Christians in the world. Marx would never have intended to do this. It is simply that communism is so incompatible with Jesus’ Kingdom of God. Although communism has very utopian aspects, they try to eliminate ideologies that oppose them through struggle. Furthermore, as their power expands, it eventually leads to dictatorship. And because of economic weaknesses, it collapses. I am absolutely not someone who views capitalist liberalism as the Kingdom of God. Because of the problems of the present era, I strongly urge people to share, offer, and act like Abraham. I oppose communist dictatorship because there is a world of difference between the Kingdom of God—which is so free, peaceful, and filled with mutual respect and love—and communist dictatorship. We are all imperfect and unable to see the whole picture. Therefore, you may choose the left or the right in your political preferences. However, as children of Jesus, we must become one with one another. Even if our thoughts and ideologies differ, we must accept and love one another as brothers and sisters in the Lord. And we must move toward the greater Kingdom of God. We must sometimes set aside ideologies that hinder this kingdom and proceed according to the will of Jesus. We must not become consumed by small regional interests, political interests, or our own personal gain. As children of God, we must seek first His righteousness by following the will of our Lord Jesus, who is more noble and the truth of truths. We must establish His kingdom on this earth. It is in this sense that I have spoken strongly about ideologies that hinder this kingdom and prevent it from standing.

However, we must now learn well about Islam and Muslims, as well as the Arab world, Arab empires, and the Middle East, based on the Bible; this is essential for evangelizing the whole world. Fundamentally, a pastor must excel in academics—both undergraduate and graduate studies—and thoroughly learn Confucianism and Buddhism, as well as communist theories, capitalist and democratic ideologies, and knowledge of Arabs and Muslims. He must live his life as a strategist, warrior, and fighter dedicated to evangelizing the whole world and Korea. However, some pastors do not even properly understand the Bible; as their congregation grows, they lose their minds over money, become seduced by women, and get a taste for power, ruling over the congregation like kings without even sharing the true truth with them. They speak only Korean within this narrow confine of Korea while claiming to believe in Jesus, who embraces and loves the entire universe. It is truly narrow-minded and blocked; now that graduates from every university in Korea have already become more intellectual than these pastors, what makes people trust and follow such narrow-minded pastors? A pastor of a mega-church of 1,000 members must first sell all his personal wealth to renew his congregation by teaching them English, modern technology, and the Bible properly, raising them to be believers who surpass the rest of the world in every aspect. To properly teach the worldly affairs and history we encounter while living in this world, the church must be fully equipped with all these facilities to serve the congregation. If they hold their hands full of wealth and tell the saints to live this way, what benefit is there for them, the saints, or the Kingdom of God? I urge the 1,000 pastors of megachurches today to quickly sell all their wealth and upgrade their congregations. I, too, regret having lived within a narrow sphere and wish to learn well.

Pastor Cho Yong-gi’s concept of the "fourth-dimensional spiritual world" suggests that while this world is three-dimensional, the problems of this world are first determined in the fourth dimension and influence the third, causing various events to occur in the world we live in. This fourth dimension is precisely the spiritual world, and we must understand it deeply. Pastors and elders must receive the Holy Spirit, study the Bible deeply to understand these spiritual principles, and become one in the Lord to govern the church, educate the saints, and rule over them. Secular learning is far too weak and insufficient, and it has many limitations in understanding the fourth dimension. Therefore, we must repent, believe in Jesus first, receive forgiveness for our sins, and then receive the Holy Spirit. This is the absolute order that believers must observe, and it is a command from Jesus. The issue we are dealing with is truly a part where all worldly affairs are intertwined and mixed.

First, the conflict between communism and capitalism has raged fiercely over the past century or so. When imperialism swallowed up small and weak nations, we fell under Japanese oppression and lived in shame for 36 years. We lived in servitude to Japan, dedicating all our capital and manpower, until we finally achieved liberation in 1945, just 80 years ago. Soon after, a conflict between communism and capitalism erupted on the Korean Peninsula, with China, North Korea, and Russia uniting alongside the United States and other allies to fight fiercely. Millions died. The peninsula was barely divided in half, with two forces standing in standoff. Capitalist liberalism entered the South, while a communist one-man dictatorship was established in the North. Although communism sounds plausible, it is a political ideology with the potential to eventually lead to a one-man dictatorship, and most dictatorships result in such regimes. It has caused immense harm to the entire world. In particular, they persecuted and killed the most people who believed in Jesus; their atheism, one-man dictatorship, and faith in God are completely different. They acted this way because, due to their mutual opposition, they could not establish their own nation without killing. Fortunately, Korea has become a nation that enjoys religious freedom, where the freedom of 10 million people to believe in Jesus is guaranteed by the Constitution. It was a country where missionary work and evangelism were free. However, now that various restrictions have been imposed on this matter, the church has become secularized and left-leaning. It has become a tool of dictators rather than Jesus, and these individuals have come to wield authority as church pastors. This is because they abandon both the congregation and the church to follow this path solely for their own survival. The obedience of Korea's mega-churches to state power already displays many characteristics of communism.

Rebuilding this sector involves many tasks, particularly from a spiritual perspective, to ensure pastors stand firm and believers walk the right path. In a truly peaceful time, God has blessed us with sufficient time, material resources, and peace to deeply study the Bible and guide believers to stand firm. However, the complacency and spiritual regression of pastors who succumbed to material temptations are driving this nation into a dire situation.

Subsequently, as Russia disintegrated due to the United States' dominance and the wave of capitalist liberalism swept across the world, everyone lived in arrogance and immersed in material abundance. During this time, Islam greatly expanded its influence, and for the first time in 1,400 years, the number of Muslims surpassed that of Christians. Living as Arab empires in the Middle East, they spared no means or methods to destroy Israel in particular. Furthermore, the War on Terror erupted as they unleashed horrific terror on the United States and free nations in Europe. The entire globe witnessed on television the beheading of missionaries by terrorist groups. In the United States, a tragedy also occurred when the World Trade Center buildings collapsed due to attacks by terrorist groups. Amidst this, a Black president like Obama was elected and showed a friendly attitude toward Arab empires. Biden abolished borders and embraced diverse people. In the midst of this, communism, which appeared to have perished, was revived in China, and through China's economic growth, it infiltrated Africa, the Middle East, Canada, Australia, South Korea, and even the United States. China sends millions or millions of people to dozens of countries to bribe the broadcasting, judiciary, universities, and workers through various espionage strategies, funding, or election fraud. By inducing the remaining communist forces in these countries to seize power, their momentum has swept across the world indescribable fashion. Furthermore, Chinese communism and the Arab Islamic empire have united to oppose the United States and Israel. Finally, upon his election, Trump confronted these Chinese communist forces and Islam by arresting the President of Venezuela and extraditing him to the United States. Both Israel and the United States are simultaneously attacking and devastating Iran. Russia is exhausting its strength in the war against Ukraine, where the entire European bloc is attacking, and unable to win even after years; thus, it has no room to aid Iran.

Amidst this, Korea, which truly stands at the most critical juncture in the world regarding such wars and power struggles, saw President Yoon attempt to unite with the United States and Japan to confront the communist forces of China, North Korea, and Russia. He declared martial law due to the opposition party, which had already gained a majority through China's election fraud and various financial offensives, as well as the tyranny of his successive impeachments and the corruption of the left-wing broadcasting and judiciary. However, instead, those involved are currently in prison due to the corruption of the military, the National Intelligence Service, the judiciary, and the police. Furthermore, a leftist has become president, opposing the United States and attacking Israel, and now fighting as the vanguard of China. Naturally, they will seek to move closer to Islam, Arab nations, North Korea, and Russia. The persecution of the church will intensify day by day.

Yet, there are those who are fighting this battle, risking their lives and even going to prison. However, there are also pastors who have abandoned Jesus, valuing their material possessions and status within the church more highly than Jesus Himself. Many have already committed apostasy, abandoning and denying Jesus, and following forces that seek to obliterate the church. Even within the church, such individuals have infiltrated and serve as elders and pastors, attempting to seize control of the church for themselves and hand it over to these leftist powers. These machinations of the evil devil are rising globally, and in this war, cooperation between communist China and North Korea and Islam has begun. They seek to destroy Christian nations and peoples. The church must unite as one, and with Jesus as our commander, everyone must step onto the battlefield in this massive spiritual war. Although our spiritual warfare sometimes involves shedding blood, martyrdom, and persecution, it is ultimately destined for victory. This is because Jesus, our commander, is the Lord of heaven and earth, the sovereign of history, and the one who directly determines the life and death of humanity. We must wage this absolutely victorious war under the guidance of Jesus and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, never yielding to evil forces. Furthermore, this battle requires us to correctly judge the flow of the world, just as we correctly understand the Bible. In this context, understanding Islam, the Arab empires, and the Middle East is absolutely essential in our reality. We must truly save them from sin based on the Bible and a correct understanding. I believe that understanding Abraham’s life journey will be of great help in achieving this. Once again, we intend to use Abraham’s great sword in this war.

Since the 40 million people of Korea do not believe in Jesus, their choices are entirely up to their own freedom. However, anyone who reads the Bible, worships in church, and claims to believe in Jesus must absolutely not sympathize with the policies or ideologies of Communism and Islam—which most reject Jesus—or act in a way that aids these forces. Yet, those who attend church while seeking to help and align with these forces are perhaps like the crowds that the Apostle Paul described in his letters as disrupting the church that had quietly infiltrated. We must discern them well, as they are like the weeds of the Bible, and all pastors must prevent them from luring believers into the church. Now, no pastor living in Korea can be free from this war. President Lee has delivered a message tantamount to a declaration of war to the United States and Israel, who have already annihilated Iran. And since he is not backing down, this is exactly what North Korea and China earnestly desire; it is clear that they will continue to provoke and incite him while exalting him. Now, it is highly likely that the attention of the United States and Israel will also turn toward the Korean Peninsula. The forces that have already occupied a significant portion of Korea will fight this battle with all their might. The majority of the people will be unaware of this reality and will blindly follow suit; who will set things right? The office of a pastor is that of a spiritual leader who must see this reality clearly, preach it accurately, and guide the saints to Heaven. Therefore, one can absolutely not win this fight by holding onto money, power, or women. If one loses this battle, it is hell. It is hell for oneself and hell for the saints; thus, one will receive the most severe punishment among all people, and this punishment will be passed down to one's descendants.

We are soldiers of Jesus, entrusted with the mission to love God and our neighbors. That is why the battle is evangelism, the battle of love. If you intend to engage in difficult evangelism, you must first understand Islam well. You do not have to look far; Islam is already entering Korea in countless numbers. When hundreds of pastors in Gunsan expressed their support for Lee Jae-myung, hundreds of Muslims gathered around their own mosques. Islamic mosques have already been openly erected. This is because the city granted permission. Hundreds of people gathered in just one small city. The police secured hundreds of meters of road to control traffic. They ensured that residents could not pass through the area at that time, thereby guaranteeing the event these people held. Then, hundreds of them came out onto the streets, occupied the roads, and performed their religious activities together. As a result, the lives of so many residents were disrupted. Even though such things are being perpetrated, not a single church came forward to question why this is happening. Their numbers already far exceeded the number of church members in the area.

Therefore, I am questioning them on their behalf. Why must the rights of residents be surrendered for an Islamic event? In Korea, if a church were to block the streets, gather hundreds of people, occupy the road, and do so for a long time, it would cause a huge uproar. It would be broadcast on TV, and it is an act that is utterly unacceptable; I asked how the police could protect foreigners who are restricting the freedom of Korean citizens in such a manner. Consequently, they called it their "anniversary." Is it the mission of a pastor to ignore infuriating situations and instead flatter a regime that supports such actions? They have become dogs. And I was expelled from these churches. Several churches expelled me. Do you realize that this reality is unfolding in Korea? Yet, it is our mission to endure this indignation, pray for them, and love them. We must preach the Gospel to them. Although there are many churches in this region, can we evangelize Islam in an atmosphere like this? If evangelizing Islam is this difficult in Korea, how can we go to an Islamic empire? Already, when they gather in groups at night, it is difficult to even approach them. What are you doing? If you are a pastor, you must come to your senses upon witnessing this reality to enter Heaven. How can you lose your mind over material possessions, lose your mind over women, or get a taste for power? I hope you quickly repent with tears and go to Heaven. All souls that are rottener and stench-filled than all the people of the world go to Hell. Is Hell really that good for you? Please live as you please. However, please be sure to know that there is a curse passed down through generations. There is a curse passed down through the generations. God is so precise and just.

Since I am a beginner in this field, what more could I possibly know than you? That is why I am learning. There are already many experts on the Middle East. There are various YouTube channels, and non-believers are already deeply involved in their livelihoods, so they learn well. I have not studied this area enough. Therefore, I am learning with repentance. I am learning to love and to evangelize. Furthermore, I have a little knowledge, however small, regarding the life of Abraham, who is the ancestor of all of them, and his descendants, Israel, concerning the Old and New Testaments and their 2,000-year history. And regarding our Lord Jesus, I know and believe with certainty that He is the One who loves us, is with us, and helps us. Now, all we have to do is learn well about the Islamic Empire and evangelize. Unconditional fear and hostility are not the attitude of an evangelist; rather, such people, nations, and peoples are targets for evangelism. Rather, they are people whom we must embrace and love. Moreover, we do not need to go far; they are already abundant in Korea and among us. If we evangelize these people well, they will return to Islamic nations and evangelize themselves. A truly great opportunity exists in Korea. This is because Korea has received God's blessing. We must not miss this precious opportunity, but must devote everything we have to evangelizing. I am striving tirelessly to do this work, so please pray for me.

First, we must become good neighbors with them. They have come from foreign lands and are working hard to find jobs in Korea, doing work that Koreans do not typically do. We must treat them kindly and justly. We must never treat them carelessly as people from poor countries; instead, we must love them by sharing everything with them. My mother-in-law lived in Uzbekistan, an Islamic country. When I went to Kazakhstan for my marriage, the early morning broadcasts were unbearable, and after a week, I missed Korea so much that I did not want to stay there. Yet, in such a place, the missionary embraced these people and carried out missionary work. He served for 10 years and returned to Korea upon reaching retirement age, and I intended to serve him well, just as I would a father. Now that he is elderly, I pray for him constantly. As neighbors, my mother-in-law is a Christian, yet she and our Muslim neighbors get along well, just like our own neighbors. We even slaughter dog meat for them to eat, and they ask us to slaughter their own dogs and cook for them; we live together with mutual respect and without hesitation. It is God's plan for China to send 100,000 missionaries to neighboring Muslim countries in this way. How do I know this? In the book *The Man Belonging to Heaven*, Brother Yun stated that this is the mission for China that he received from God. I believe his words. His life perfectly coincided with the life of the Apostle Paul. Therefore, even for a Chinese person, he is such a precious and respectable figure that one cannot help but believe.

Everyone! Currently, China has at least 100 to 150 million Christians. Many predict that in the future, it will become the country with the largest number of believers in Jesus on Earth, with approximately 400 million people. Furthermore, God prophesied that China would send 100,000 missionaries to evangelize the Muslims in its border neighboring country. If China does not do this, which country in the world can stop the terrifying rise of Islam and expand the Kingdom of God? After reading the book written by Brother Win, a brother belonging to heaven, I came to believe that he is like a Paul of this era, acting according to God's will by receiving the Holy Spirit. I clearly believed that all his actions were guided by the Holy Spirit. I also came to truly believe in the sending of 100,000 missionaries from China that God revealed to him. When I came to believe this, I noticed that the combined number of missionaries sent by the United States and Korea is only 60,000. However, 13 years ago, I believed that the sending of 100,000 missionaries to China would undoubtedly make this country the most economically and militarily powerful nation in the whole world, as God would make it.

Therefore, while Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee was alive, I sent an evangelistic letter advising caution in investing in industries that compete with China and to formulate corporate management strategies toward reaping and enjoying the fruits of China's development. Just when it seemed China was thriving, Samsung's momentum continues to grow at a formidable pace, while China is faltering under U.S. containment. Furthermore, China's strategy of weaponizing its population through exports and pursuing global domination via various unethical means is clearly causing checks and conflicts both within China and from the outside, including the United States. Through this process, I believe that Christianity in China will become a powerful force capable of guiding China onto the right path by finding justice in the Bible. I hope that through the propagation of the true Gospel, China will absolutely never repeat the grave sins of the past, when Christian nations persecuted, invaded, and plundered weaker neighboring countries once they became powerful nations. I hope that while they faithfully guard the national borders given by God, they will pour out all the blessings they have received into missionary work in Islam. I will translate all materials into Chinese and share them so that China becomes a nation governed by the Law of God, as previously mentioned. I firmly believe that this will serve to prevent future wars between China, which has become a great power, and its neighboring nations, thereby truly saving hundreds of millions of lives.

I have dreamed of sharing the Gospel with tens of millions of Chinese people using the Resurrection Tract, so I have translated this booklet into five languages, including Chinese. Review of the translation is currently underway by a Chinese acquaintance and a Japanese minister. As China reaches 400 million believers, it will build beautiful and magnificent temples like the Forbidden City. Huge churches with millions of members will emerge. Furthermore, 100,000 missionaries will be sent to neighboring Islamic empires. Through this, the terrifyingly expanding Islam will falter, and remarkable evangelization will take place. I believe that amidst this, democratization will progress, and a nation where freedom is guaranteed will be established. The Light of the East and the Great Sword of Abraham will fulfill a great mission to guide these 400 million Chinese believers in the right direction. Everyone! You and I were born on this earth and are being used to accomplish such great work. Please do not be swayed by small regional interests or political gains. In particular, believers in Jeolla Province, who live in the land of our holy ancestors and the source of our nation, must awaken even more and shine a light while remaining vigilant so that this country is never swayed by the hands of powerful nations. Please do not be deceived or waver. The day will come when the whole world comes to Jeollado.

I earnestly pray that you join this great ministry and support it through prayer and material means. King David of Israel is the only nation on Earth that, upon becoming a great power, defended its territory and exercised self-restraint. Every king failed to overcome the temptation to plunder their neighbors when they possessed power, influence, and wealth alongside their armies. While committing evil, they occupied, killed, and plundered countless neighboring countries. Because of this great sin, all great powers have faded into the annals of history. Such actions by a nation of believers are truly so wicked that these evil deeds will remain a lasting stain on history. Our mission is to believe in Jesus, receive blessings, live virtuously, and save our neighbors; yet, forgetting this, we have slaughtered unbelievers whom God loves and our brothers and sisters in faith. How can we deal with this sin? Such a sin must never occur in Korea. However, any pastor who holds material blessings in their hands but does not share them, engages in evangelism or missions, and leads others to become slaves to material things, is no longer a servant of Jesus but has already become a slave to material things.

Embracing and loving Islam, and studying together for this purpose, is a blessing. Studying for the sake of evangelism and love is the highest form of study. It is a study that God so earnestly desires, and I believe He will bestow blessings upon blessings upon all those who engage in this study. I bless you in the name of Jesus, that you may take the time to learn from the Lord together in this way, enjoy great freedom, and become precious apostles of the Gospel of Peace and a nation of great love.

Korea is the hope of all nations, and everyone who believes in Jesus in Korea possesses this qualification. There is absolutely no need to fear, and I pray that you will be filled with joy and anticipation as you learn a new field. First, we learn together from someone who truly understands what Islam is. Furthermore, I hope you will definitely overcome this doctrine by comparing it with the truth we know. You will absolutely triumph. I have uploaded lectures by three individuals: Protestant Pastor Jeong Dong-soo, a scholar and professor, and a Catholic priest. Please refer to them all. The Middle East, the Arab world, and Islam must become essential subjects of study for Protestants. In this era, Islam has become the religion that stands in the greatest opposition to and threatens Protestantism. My writings will unite all Catholic and Protestant churches, enable them to embrace and proclaim Israel, and guide Islam toward the right path. Life is a solitary battle fought in such a colossal way. The truth is that it is a journey walked together with the Lord. That is why I have come this far.

It is utterly foolish for brothers in faith and churches of faith who share in Jesus to fight one another without even knowing who they truly need to fight against. The devil is the spirit of division, while the Holy Spirit is the spirit of unity. The current reality is that it is overwhelming enough for the Catholic and Protestant churches to cooperate in evangelizing Islam and dealing with the rampant communist dictatorship in China. Why do you remain silent and spout nonsense regarding such a great force opposing Jesus, perhaps out of fear? Please look at the situation in Korea. Who is making things difficult for the church? Please, look at the target you are fighting against and bite.

I asked God for the pastor, the senior pastor, and all the members of my megachurch to pray for my ministry, and for the 500,000 readers of my writings to pray for me. How could I possibly fight such a massive spiritual war alone? I truly never imagined that my life would unfold this way, as a tool of Jesus who has received fire from Him. When I believed in Jesus and took the civil service exam, I hoped to pass, live well, receive blessings, and have a good marriage. When the possibility of passing appeared, 50 women rushed at me, but they all ran away. I married a Catholic wife and loved her, but when she left home, my heart ached so much that I lost all will to live. I spent four years living in hell, plagued by depression and insomnia. God then gave me another wife, a Russian Orthodox citizen, with whom I had a son, and I spent twenty years preaching the gospel. As I approached another four years of economic and domestic hardship, I found myself leading me to understand Islam. I studied diligently for eight and seven years at two different graduate schools, read the Bible, organized my thoughts for over twenty-five years, and evangelized tirelessly for more than thirty years. Yet, only now have I begun to take an interest in the growth of Islam and its influence in Korea. From the perspective of the Kingdom of God, my life is so inadequate, narrow, and shameful. Therefore, I must learn. We can learn together. Fortunately, many experts upload materials to YouTube.

https://youtu.be/pI3t-8cncxg

[Special Lecture for the Protection of Christian Values] The Reality of Islam - Missionary Lee Man-seok

Islam is a massive force. It exists in the Middle East, Arab nations, Indonesia, and throughout the entire world. It is estimated that its numbers will soon surpass those of Christian nations and all believers who trust in Jesus. Many have come to Korea for marriage and employment, and their gatherings are protected by the police. They receive greater security than Korean churches. Furthermore, Koreans are reluctant to live in areas where they are present. I believe there are many such regions in cities across Korea. It takes more than an hour to listen to the three lectures mentioned above. Pastor Jeong Dong-soo's lecture is the most accurate. The lecture by the Catholic priest is also good. By now, many of you likely have gained a certain level of understanding regarding Islam. It is such a massive global phenomenon that even non-believers are very interested.

Islam is exactly as we see and hear. It is accurate that they behead missionaries and commit acts of terror. We must be extremely careful. That is why we must evangelize. How do we do this? In a word, Christianity is a religion where I die to save others, whereas Islam is a religion where I live to kill others. Christianity is a religion in which God saves fallen humanity by giving His only begotten Son. It is a religion where God sheds blood to prevent human bloodshed, and where God dies to save humanity. However, Germany, a Protestant nation, brutally killed the 6 million Jewish people of Israel. When imperialism was rampant, European Christian nations advanced into Asia and Africa, forcibly subjugating them to make them servants and slaves. Most of these countries are Christian nations. The American slave system also treated many Black people as slaves, not even as human beings. As fellow believers in Jesus, we find it difficult to understand these past events, and we cannot help but call them extremely evil and wicked deeds. Through the invasion of the Americas by the United States and Spain, they drove out the indigenous population, amounting to approximately 60 million people at the time, to establish their own nations. This is not evangelism through love, but conquest, murder, and coercion. Therefore, we must deeply study the reactions of Islam while reflecting on what Christianity—including Protestantism and Catholicism—has done to Islam. Through the history of the Christian church, I absolutely do not condone the evil deeds committed by Christianity against poor nations and Islam. Therefore, we must renew the whole world with the Gospel of Peace from Korea. Korea is the last and the hope. Naturally, all the saints in Korea are the hope of the whole world. I believe they are becoming the light of the East.

However, in terms of doctrine, Islam completely lacks such death, sacrifice, and bloodshed as God does. On the contrary, it is a bloodthirsty religion that kills people with swords if they do not follow its doctrines. It is a religion devoid of love that kills all life in other regions for the sake of expanding its power. It is a terrifying murderous group that acts this way wherever it enters. It is an evil group that never sacrifices or dies for itself, but kills others to survive. This is the true nature of Islam. Furthermore, as the Muslim population approaches 2 billion, if a professor or researcher speaks carelessly, they will undoubtedly be killed by terrorism. That is why we live in a world where one cannot even speak carelessly. If one understands and accepts such a group as a religion, one's family, region, and country will soon collapse. Moreover, since this force has already lost its fear and seeks to swallow up the entire nation and region, this group is not a religion that believes in God, but a religion that opposes God.

I have stated the core point. I wonder how the Korean church will withstand such attacks. Furthermore, the attacks from the Chinese Communist Party are formidable. If the church correctly understands the Bible, it must awaken the believers to realize that these attacks are all attacks of Satan and defend against them. Pastors lack education on this matter, and the congregation is also lacking. The way to know what the truth is is to stand firmly and accurately in the truth of the Bible, and then immediately gain discernment when looking at the doctrines or ideologies of other religions. Again, we discern Islam through the truth of the Bible.

The Old Testament has been observed, preserved, and guarded by Israel for approximately 3,500 years. It is the word received from God exactly as it was, without changing a single letter. It has dozens of authors and spans over 1,000 years of recording history. Naturally, from a human perspective, it would be normal for the content to be disorganized and inconsistent. However, the evidence of God's word shows that these contents are all unified, with no discrepancies. It is incredibly accurate and scientific. It is so perfectly accurate that humans could absolutely never achieve this. Therefore, the claim that Jesus was merely a prophet, as Islam asserts, does not hold water, nor does the assertion that the text was edited.

Jesus is simply the living Son of God and the Savior. He is the Creator of the world and the King of Kings, possessing authority over all heaven and earth. Hallelujah!

And the character of God, who is so beautiful and magnificent and the object of indescribable praise, is revealed exactly as it is in the Old Testament. It consists largely of love, justice, and faithfulness. There is not a single word commanding the killing of a person with a sword, unless the sinner is a heinous criminal guilty of a capital offense. On the contrary, He commands that Israel, Gentiles, and even animals be spared. Furthermore, He commands us to love God and our neighbors with all things as ourselves. What a refreshing, comforting, and liberating blessed message this is!

And because God is just, the Old Testament is a message of justice that is so fair and just that it cannot be compared to the laws that humans have created over thousands of years through the combined wisdom of political scientists, moralists, philosophers, and legal scholars. It is just so that no one living on earth suffers injustice. This law is the law of the Pentateuch. Please believe this. The God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament are perfectly identical, and He commands us to strictly observe the law, which expresses His character exactly as it is, in both the Old and New Testaments. This is because it is the constitution of the Kingdom of God. I am someone who failed the second round of the Civil Service Examination by just one point. I am someone who has studied social sciences, including public administration, law, and economics, for 13 hours a day for seven years. Indeed, the object of praise for the saints of the Old Testament—that is, Israel—is the Law of the Pentateuch. Among the 66 books of the Bible, the Pentateuch and the Law are the most essential. Naturally, the object of praise for you and me, who believe in Jesus, is the Law of the Old Testament.

Everyone! Justice is order and harmony, and justice is peace. In a just world, we can stretch out our feet and live and rest comfortably. The laws of the Old Testament are more fair and just than the most advanced constitutions currently existing on Earth. The law that is the object of such praise is the Pentateuch of the Old Testament. Although Islam acknowledges the Pentateuch, such justice cannot be found there. Humans hold power, establish nations, and govern these countries with their own Qurans. Indeed, kings and all Islamic leaders who possess power enjoy all authority, wealth, and women in this world. However, the reality is that the general population of Islam lives deprived of most human rights and freedoms. The harm to women's human rights is truly severe.

In the Old Testament, there is the account of Joshua killing all the people living in Canaan at the time when he conquered it, as well as the judgments of fire and flood over Sodom and Gomorrah. Sin was so rampant and unrighteousness so extreme that they perished by judgment. Israel, too, was chosen, but due to national laxity and non-observance of the law, they perished and died. They were taken captive and wandered from country to country for a staggering 2,500 years without a nation. And indeed, there will be a final judgment, and those who are unprepared will be subjected to eternal punishment. Punishment for sin is justice. Everyone! Let us imagine that your precious daughter is kidnapped, raped, and murdered. Now, the life of this parent comes to an end. They spend their entire life searching for their daughter. Even if she is dead, they cannot forget her. This is because they love her. God is love. And He is a just One. That is why He hates sin. He hates it so much. Only the shedding of blood—that is, death—is the price for sin. Also, imagine that one's beloved spouse has committed adultery. That family comes to an end. As divorce proceeds, children must witness their parents living separately. The dream of living together in love is completely shattered. Furthermore, in some cases, a stepmother or stepfather arrives. The likelihood of living a life of scars and becoming a troubled child increases. In some cases, unable to bear it any longer, the child even commits suicide. Because Almighty God knows the consequences of such adultery, He commanded that men and women who commit adultery be stoned to death. It is a warning never to commit such a crime, and He commanded that those who still commit it be stoned to death. This is by no means an excessive punishment. God is absolutely merciful and loving. However, the evil that angers this loving God is absolutely not merciful; it is indescribably cruel, violent, and destructive. It is the work of the devil. The laws and judgments of the absolutely just God are just and fair. Humans are already steeped in sin and absolutely do not understand the gravity of sins forbidden by the Bible, such as murder, adultery, and false witness. That is why they have affairs. What good is it to regret it when the knife of the husband, enraged by the adultery, comes mercilessly stabbing you? The Bible says to stone to death. Betrayal of love can never allow the betrayed person to live a normal life. That is why appropriate punishment for sin is recorded in the law to prevent this.

Justice is established because there is appropriate punishment for sin and the final judgment undoubtedly exists. Order is established in this world. Hope is given to all good and righteous people. Punishment for sin and the final judgment are the truths of truths. Those who live as they please, commit sins, and seek to use others as their tools try to deny these truths. They try by any means not to believe in Jesus. They even cry out that the Bible is not true. They have become slaves of the devil and are opposing the Almighty God. Furthermore, they are unaware of what they are doing. Eternal punishment and eternal destruction await them all. This is the punishment that all who do not know or believe in Jesus and live as they please will receive. How problematic is it for those who attend church yet do not understand these principles and live as they please? When churches become large and the senior pastor holds all authority over personnel, finances, and administration, they mostly live as they please. If this goes too far, it appears evil even in the eyes of people in the world who do not believe in Jesus. However, because people continue to live that way without realizing this, it has become Hell Joseon.

Furthermore, faithfulness is an attribute of God, and He is a One whom we can perfectly trust. First, as our omniscient and almighty Father, we can always rely on Him and always present our hopes and sufferings in prayer. And He is a faithful One who unfailingly fulfills what He has spoken and promised. Therefore, the law, which embodies His character, is naturally trustworthy, and it is stipulated that the people of the Old Testament should act faithfully so that they could trust one another. The Old Testament is the very law that creates a world of faith. Israel was called to believe in this Old Testament and to live according to these words. Thus, when God gave the law to Moses, He said that living according to these laws would bring blessings to the people of Israel, to which they replied, "Yes!" And when He said that breaking these words would bring a curse, they said, "Amen." Thus, a covenant was established between them, becoming the Old Testament—the ancient covenant.

It is the perfect Word of God, of which there is absolutely not a single word that the people of the New Testament who believe in Jesus can discard. Therefore, Protestants must respect, love, and be thankful for the fact that Israel lives by this faith. We must respect and love them as a precious people who have preserved and passed down this precious Word to us for 3,500 years. God is the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament who is perfectly identical yesterday, today, and forever.

This is completely different from the doctrines of Islam. The eternal Son of God of Israel is Jesus, who came to this earth, and He is our God. He is not a different person, but the same God. And undoubtedly, the Apostle Paul, an apostle of Jesus, conveyed God's will in Romans, stating that all Gentile Christians should be understood as beings grafted onto Israel, not the original branch, and therefore should refrain from acting rashly. However, Germany committed evil in an attempt to destroy the original branch, and Christianity throughout the world misrecognized the Jews, calling them the people who crucified Jesus; this is utterly incorrect. On the contrary, you and I, as sinners, become the very people responsible for stabbing Jesus, shedding His blood, and crucifying Him to death.

Furthermore, Jesus forgave all those who crucified Him. Since we are sinners just like them, we cannot condemn them. All doctrines of Islam do not align with this truth; although they proclaim God, such a God does not exist in the Bible. There is no command in the Bible to kill with the sword those who do not follow Him. However, God, in accordance with His justice, destroyed sinful groups, individuals, or sinners with a flood, judged them with fire, and ordered them to be stoned to death. This is God's punishment for evil. It is said that there is certainly punishment corresponding to evil, and that ultimately, the whole world will be judged by the words (Law) of the Old Testament. All Christians have an obligation to love and to live justly. I believe that by speaking about the Old Testament and Israel, which we believe in, you will be able to discern the Islam mentioned above.

They claim to believe in one God and believe in monotheism. They claim to believe in Abraham. They claim to believe in the Pentateuch. They also view Jesus as a prophet. There are already many groups of Muslims around industrial complexes in Korea. This is not someone else's problem. I previously mentioned that in Gunsan, hundreds of them gathered on a main road, closed the road, and held a rally under police protection. There are several churches nearby, yet they cannot protest. Their numbers exceed the number of members in the surrounding churches. The police provide protection. I was indignant and confronted the police. The church chased me away for doing so. How does this world function? They do this during Ramadan. One cannot help but be astonished; if hundreds of Korean church members were to gather on a road for a rally, the police would absolutely never close a public road and provide protection in that manner.

It has been several years. When megachurch pastors, intoxicated by the sweetness of capitalism, have their entire souls immersed in the power enjoyed by kings—power they must never approach, even if it costs them their lives—this nation already loses all hope. These scoundrels are the most wicked; they are worse than traitors who should not be allowed to live on this earth. They hate me the most, and they are driving me out of the church. Since they have seized control of the church where Jesus is the Lord, who can stop them? Who prays for and helps me, living through truly indescribable hardship? Truly, it is only our Lord Jesus, the Master of all things. And a Deaconess and a Pastor are helping me. I had planned to upload up to Genesis Chapter 31 in English, but I have been unable to upload for several months because it is too difficult. I cannot upload because life is so hard.

Even if Catholicism and Protestantism were to unite, they would still be fewer in number than Muslims. There is no room for division and fighting among us. Furthermore, even if all of Christianity and Israel were to unite and fight together, it would still be insufficient. Imagine this: Islam, with a population approaching 2 billion and a land area hundreds of times larger, surrounds this tiny little Israel, relentlessly attacking to destroy and ruin this nation. If Korea were in that situation, how long would it be able to endure? Jesus, whom we believe in, holds all authority in heaven and on earth and helps this small Israel. Just as Jesus helps Israel, He helps me. He always speaks to me: "Take courage! I love you! Do not worry about anything!" These words are the driving force that sustains me. I have been living this way while enduring the greatest poverty in Korea for 40 years. I hope that all pastors will become this poor. For me, today is my entire life. Bankruptcy awaits tomorrow. In other words, if God does not grant me the opportunity to live tomorrow, I am finished. I live every day with this mindset.

When you stand firm in the truth of the Bible, everything else becomes discernible. If you do not know, you simply need to study and be illuminated by the light of truth.

The God of the Old Testament is the same as the God of the New Testament. The Law of Moses in the Old Testament is the constitution of the saints in the New Testament. Jesus is God as the Son of the living God. He shed His blood on the cross, died to atone for the sins of all humanity, and resurrected. He also commanded us to receive the Holy Spirit. Now, God the Holy Spirit has come to cause us to be born again. Now, He dwells within us and guides us. What does He make us do? He enables us to embrace and love all humanity and to save them through the Gospel. He enables us to love our neighbors in the world and live righteously. He enables us to understand the Bible well. And He enables us to love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength. The purpose for which our Lord came is to save us, to enable us to receive the Holy Spirit, and to cause us to forsake sin and live according to the Law. Israel does not believe in Jesus and does not receive the Holy Spirit, attempting to fulfill the Law by their own strength, whereas we intend to do so with the help of the Holy Spirit. Islam claims to believe in God, yet rejects God's love for humanity—that is, the God of bloodshed and atonement on the cross. The core of God's love lies in the shedding of blood and the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus, for the sake of humanity, yet this essence is entirely missing. These people are still sinners without repentance. They are targets for evangelism. Without the Holy Spirit or being born again, they claim to believe in the same God, striking when strong, submitting when weak, and waiting for the right moment. Furthermore, when crowds gather, they construct meeting halls—just as in Gunsan—where hundreds assemble to enjoy privileges, flaunt their power, and threaten surrounding churches and believers. If you look at Islamic doctrine, it introduces monotheism, teachers, prayer, and various other seemingly good things as its tenets.

The number of people accepting this is increasing. When the church fails to function properly and becomes secularized, forces that oppose Jesus and tempt believers like this run rampant. These are the targets of evangelism and the greatest threat to Christianity. You remain silent on this matter while spending your entire life criticizing and trying to capture the church that believes in the same Jesus; for whom on earth do you open your mouths, devote your devotion, and shed your sweat?

We have entered an era of globalization where believers can only live rightly if they understand the Bible, Catholicism, Israel, and Islam in this way. If one falls into the doctrine of "believing and receiving blessings," one may eat well and live comfortably for a while, but such doctrines will collapse helplessly under the attacks of communism and Islam. What can be done? With such narrow theology and understanding of the Bible, most pastors in Korean churches show absolutely no sign of becoming a light, even as the nation crumbles and the people go to hell. I reiterate and convey this: This truth is truly the core of the Bible. Since you are conveying this truth well, I bless you in the name of Jesus that you may make this truth your pillar, look upon your surroundings carefully, and walk the path of righteousness. I am His instrument who has received fire from Him.

If we properly understand the Book of Romans in this era, it provides the answer to all these problems. I hope you will break free from the limitations of narrow Protestant theology this time. The Catholic Church must also take a deep interest in the Law. Furthermore, we are conveying the truth to both Israel and Islam. Abraham is the ancestor of all of them, and he deserves to be called Abraham's great sword as the great key to solving these problems. I pray that with this sword, the seeds of all conflict will vanish, we will understand one another and become one, and become one through Jesus and the Law. Hallelujah!

Jesus is the center of all human affairs. There is no disagreement between Catholicism and Protestantism regarding Jesus as the embodiment of both divinity and humanity. Although Israel does not recognize Him as the Savior, all the authors of the New Testament are Israelites, and Jesus is also an Israelite born in Israel. Furthermore, Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet. Now, we must convey the truth so that everyone acknowledges Jesus, and this mission rests with all Christians. In proclaiming Jesus, we must do so with love; we must share and evangelize a single soul with patient endurance. Mission work involves going far to spread the word. However, this evangelist's calling is forgotten when a nation becomes a superpower, Christianity gains strength, and becomes organized, leading to the emergence of leaders who seek to reign and act like kings. Since they have attacked, killed, and plundered their neighbors, I declare that this is not the essence of Christianity but a heinous crime committed by the fallen.

However, now we can spread the message to the whole world via the internet. My "50 million Romans" Daum Cafe and Naver Blog have been viewed by approximately 500,000 people across more than 120 countries. I am someone who lives with the belief that if this content is broadcast on YouTube, hundreds of millions of people across the globe will see it. My evangelism began with sharing with family and neighbors; wherever I went, I considered evangelism to be of the utmost importance and sought to share with everyone I met. I first sent letters to about 50 people over several years, and then to 1,200 high school classmates. And now 500,000 people have seen it, and it was shared with about 700 professors at theological seminaries around the world, including Harvard and Oxford. There were many converts, and God healed a vast number of diverse diseases. Various gifts of the Holy Spirit manifested in the evangelist.

The truth is that if one wishes to know Jesus, one must rely on documented materials so that anyone can read them, believe them, or freely express their opinions. Islam, however, did not guarantee freedom because it has regulations that discourage criticism of its doctrines and punish those who do so. When Jesus came to the land of Israel 2,000 years ago, Israel sought a Messiah possessing visible authority and power. Since Jesus came alone and lowly as the Son of Man, there were no people to pay attention to or follow. Only Joseph and Mary noticed the difference in the Son, and only a select few, informed by an angel, were able to know of the Savior's birth. Furthermore, His ministry is well-documented in the New Testament, making it accessible to everyone to read and verify. Therefore, believing or not believing is a matter of freedom, and criticism is also free. Moreover, Israel holds and believes in the Old Testament from Genesis to Malachi, just as Christians possess the New Testament. They recognize only the 39 books as the Word of God, which bind together the history, poems, and prophecies that occurred from 3,500 years ago—when Moses received this message from God and gave it to Israel—once afterward. However, the results of 3,500 years of faith and research are well organized.

Furthermore, Jesus came and preached the Gospel, declaring Himself the Messiah fulfilled by the promises of the Old Testament; since then, the saints have believed, and it has been 2,000 years. We have now entered an era where 2.5 to 3 billion believers hold the faith. Moreover, the Old and New Testaments have been studied over the course of 2,000 years. Now, what proves that Jesus is both man and God, and that He is God? The multitude who believes in the Savior who came as man—that is, Christians—must understand the Old Testament more accurately and thoroughly than these Jews through the perspective of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and they must convey this to Israel, who know only the Old Testament. In doing so, they must be moved to awe and believe. The actions taken by Christians and the nation toward Israel, who are supposed to fulfill this role, have been utterly contrary to Israel's belief in and acknowledgment of Jesus. This is disrespectful to a nation that has moved for approximately 2,500 years without a country, passing through Assyria, Babylon, and Persia to Greece and Rome. From medieval Europe through the early modern Soviet Union and up to the present-day United States, those who wandered without a nation have been relentlessly mistreated, tormented, and sought to annihilate. Consequently, they have lived without the capacity to harbor positive feelings toward Christianity as a whole. Furthermore, with Arab and Islamic empires surrounding them—hundreds of times larger in land area and 200 times more populous—and attacking to kill and destroy them, where could they possibly find such leeway?

The more this happens, the more deeply they immerse themselves in the Old Testament, firmly believe in the God of the Old Testament, and strive to keep the law; the lower the likelihood they will seek to believe in and understand Jesus. We must convey this with a more accurate understanding and love than that of Old Testament Israel, but who is doing it? The whole world was granted a 2,000-year opportunity but failed; I believe that Korea must now undertake this task, which is why I conveyed this message earlier. Moreover, it is said that Israel's salvation will only occur when the number of Gentiles receiving salvation is sufficient, as prophesied by God. The entire nation intends to carry out this work, yet someone within Korea steps forward to confront Israel. What kind of situation is this? I view this as an act of defiance against God, who has prepared Korea for thousands of years for this very purpose. A result that everyone understands will undoubtedly come.

Christianity has proven for 2,000 years that Jesus is the Son of God, accurately conveying that He is the Messiah who came according to the prophecies of the Old Testament. Much of this prophecy concerns Jesus’ coming, ministry, shedding of blood, death, and resurrection, and it is remarkably accurate. Even if all of humanity were to choose one person now and mobilize all human beings—using science, material resources, and every effort—to ensure that person becomes exactly as predicted about 700 years later, the probability of it happening is almost nil. However, there are hundreds of prophecies concerning Jesus, and these were not prophecies made by a single person in a single moment. The people who prophesied were different, and the eras were different. Yet, hundreds of these prophecies have all been fulfilled exactly as predicted; how could humans accomplish such a thing? It is possible because it is the word of Almighty God and because Jesus is the Son of God. The history of the entire world and all of humanity has worked together to fulfill Jesus’ prophecies. It is possible because it is the work of God, the Lord of the whole world. It is absolutely impossible for humans to achieve this through all their efforts and the combined strength of 8 billion people.

Let me give you an example. I suddenly had an inspiration. When science develops to the extreme, the day will come when we can determine whose descendant a person is, what they ate, and what they did throughout their life, simply by looking at a small part of their body. When frozen animals are thawed, the types of food they ate during the time they lived are currently being revealed. I believe this is possible for God. Even with that guy's voice, we cannot catch the kidnapper. Soon, the day will come when we can analyze a vast amount of information through voices. Certainly, the day will come when we can analyze age, height, and appearance through voices. The Lord will know all the information about our entire lives from even the smallest traces we leave behind. He is the Almighty One for whom nothing is impossible. The best course of action for humans is simply to believe in Him and worship Him.

There is nothing better, more precious, or more powerful in this world than love, yet love is invisible. Among all forms of love, the most visible, greatest, and most powerful is God's love for His people. Furthermore, the Triune God is also one through love. Since every family consists of a husband, wife, and children who are united in love, this is the most common, easiest, and universally observable manifestation of God and the evidence of His love within the Triune God. We can examine this love through the Old and New Testaments. Justice and faithfulness are also attributes of God and are essential elements for human life. Everyone desires to receive true love, and everyone desires to give true love. We have received immeasurable love from our parents. We received it without any cost. That is why we exist in this world, breathe, and live well—thanks to our parents who gave birth to us and raised us well through their self-sacrifice.

The Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—love one another in this way and are united as one. God created us to live in His image, so that we too may love. The objects of our love are God and our neighbors. The Old Testament is a record of God specially choosing and loving Israel. Its beginning was Abraham 4,200 years ago. God had already created humankind, witnessed their fall, and destroyed all of humanity except for the descendants of Noah through a flood. Then, when people had spread across the earth, He came to Abraham, and Abraham lived for about 100 years; unlike previous generations, he listened well to God's word. Furthermore, God visited Abraham frequently without ceasing, observing that Abraham faithfully believed in and honored God, and treated his neighbors kindly and with love.

God's eval‎uation of Abraham's 100 years records that he was a man of faith whose faith remained constant and unchanging throughout his life; he was a man who believed and departed, believed and acted, and believed and dedicated, and his faith grew stronger day by day. He passed God's test of faith at least three times, and by always acting in accordance with God's will, he was declared righteous. He was also a good man. Being good means living a life of justice, practicing love, and faithfulness, as defined in Micah 6:8. This is how Abraham lived. He lived his life in this manner. He was not a violent, rude, or self-serving person. He was kind and gentle, yet firm against injustice; he upheld fidelity among people and kept his promises to God throughout his life. Finally, God eval‎uated him as a man who faithfully observed the laws, statutes, and commandments. Since love is the goal of all laws, and although Abraham did not have detailed provisions like in the time of Moses, God eval‎uated him after his death as a person who practiced love by keeping all the laws.

Therefore, He acknowledged him as His friend. God Himself came to this earth and met with Abraham frequently. Since Israel, Protestantism, Catholicism, and Islam all claim him as their ancestor, they must emulate the image of this ancestor. In the whole world, the words "injustice" or "evil" do not exist in Abraham. Therefore, for all Christians, the people of Israel, and Muslims who claim to be his descendants, resembling this man is to believe in the one true God and to be able to be called His children and descendants. If an ancestor is such a magnificent figure, yet his descendants are blinded by materialism and lose their minds to power and authority, wielding swords, spears, guns, and missiles, they absolutely have no legitimacy as his descendants. If they act solely to expand their influence, they become an evil group completely unrelated to Abraham. They can never be Abraham's descendants. They are a criminal group that defiles the name of their ancestor. They have no right to call the great friend of God their ancestor.

Furthermore, through God's promise to Abraham, Israel's descendants multiply like the stars in the sky. Naturally, the descendants of Ishmael also increase. Abraham's promise includes promises regarding various nations and the promise of being the father of many nations. And through Keturah, the six sons also become nations and their people increase. These are the people of the Arab empire and the Middle East. From among them, God chose Israel and selected them as descendants of Isaac; now they have become a nation and a multitude of people. He gave them specific laws to love God and their neighbors, which are the laws of the Pentateuch. These laws were also given with the intention that each individual should live like Abraham. Abraham's faith is connected through Isaac to Jacob, Joseph, and even to Moses. As the Jewish people developed into a nation while preserving the tradition of serving God, He gave them the Law not as a personal law, but as a communal and national law.

Even today, by looking at the Law, we can fully see the character of the One who gave it. We see this through the help of Jesus, who came 2,000 years later. Jesus spoke accurately about the two most important regulations of the Law and the spirit of the Law, which the people of Israel did not fully understand over those 2,000 years. Therefore, even though we Gentiles have not learned the Law as well as Israel did, we dare to understand it better than Israel through the words of our Lord Jesus. This is something that all Christians know. Indeed, just as Jesus said, the Law is as follows. It is a content that the One who gave the Law to humanity could explain; it is a content that humans could not fully decipher even after 2,000 years, and one that Israel could not even understand for 4,000 years.

First, it is a Word containing God's most important attributes. I believe that Abraham believed in God and loved and honored God and his neighbors throughout his life. God also eval‎uated Abraham’s 100 years of faith life in this way after his death. Below is an accurate explanation of the Law. It is the explanation given by Jesus, who gave the Law. And He speaks of the Old Testament explanation regarding Himself.

The Greatest Commandment

Mark 12:28 One of the scribes, having heard them arguing, came forward and asked, “What is the greatest commandment of all?”

29 Jesus answered, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’

31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no greater commandment than these.” (NIV)

Matthew 23:23. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin, but you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.” (This passage explains that justice, love, and faith are the spirit of the law.) (NIV)

Jesus and the Law

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. (NIV)

John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, thinking that in them you have eternal life. But these Scriptures testify about me.

40 Yet you do not want to come to me to have eternal life.

41 I take glory from men.

42 But I know that the love of God is not in you.

43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. But if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

44 How can you believe in me when you take glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

45 Do not think that I will bring charges against you before the Father, for you have a charge against you, Moses, whom you hope in.

46 If you had believed Moses, you would have believed in me also, for he wrote about me. (NIV)

Luke 24:25 He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Was it not necessary that Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?”

27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them all the Scriptures concerning himself. (NIV)

Now, we just need to clarify which is the greater truth: the entire Pentateuch, these words of Jesus, or Israel’s claims. This is a part that neither Islam nor Christianity does well. Why is that? I believe that for 500 years, Protestantism was so immersed in the doctrine of faith that it failed to properly examine the Law, while Catholicism, for reasons unknown, was unable to delve deeply into this area. Rather, they prioritized various church traditions over the Law. However, the crucial content that every single person on earth must know without exception is the purpose of Jesus's coming and the contents of the Law, He so earnestly urged us to observe. Furthermore, there is an important expression‎ of Jesus Himself.

First, let us look at Jesus’s words regarding the Law. When we examine the Law, the most important regulations are Moses's Ten Commandments. We simply need to examine these Ten Commandments to see if the love for God and love for one's neighbor that Jesus spoke of are present; even to a non-believer, there are four regulations on how to perfectly love God and six regulations on love for one's neighbor. No human law has ever explained love so perfectly, accurately, and concisely. First, regarding the love of God, He briefly summarized who God is and how humans should serve Him. Then, regarding the remaining six regulations, He explained the way humans love one another in the shortest, most accurate, and clearest manner possible. If humans faithfully observe only these Ten Commandments, this world will immediately become Heaven. There is no one in the entire universe who can summarize love so clearly, accurately, and concisely. There never will be.

It speaks precisely about serving God, who brought us into this world. As humans, it commands us to honor our parents, the source of our life who also brought us into this world, and to love the life of all human beings. Furthermore, there are prohibitions against adultery to preserve the purity of the family and community, against stealing to damage private property, and against bearing false witness to distort the truth of how the world operates. It also prevents covetousness for the visible possessions of one's neighbor, which is the root of all sin.

The remaining 613 commandments are the concrete practices and detailed provisions for this love toward God. There are regulations regarding the sacrificial system, offerings, priests, and the temple or tabernacle, which explain how sinful humans approach God. They consist entirely of rules for purified humans to love one another and live righteously. It is absolutely not a human law from 3,500 years ago, but the most supreme and fair law in the universe, which is a direct expression‎ of the eternally unchanging nature of God of love and justice. It is truly a law worthy of the praise of all Christians. Furthermore, Jesus revealed that the spirit of the law is love, justice, and faithfulness. This is also something that Jesus clarified, which Israel had absolutely not known despite believing in God for 2,000 years. He also explained that all the words of the Bible and the contents of the law speak about Himself

If Christianity had believed exactly what Jesus said when He came, and lived faithfully, praising, exalting, keeping, loving, and justly following these words, Israel would have been ashamed to see that the Law was understood and kept even more accurately than they did. They might have even repented; however, unfortunately, Christianity has been unable to delve deeply into these words due to various doctrines. Now, 2,000 years after Jesus came, in Korea, the land of peace, we intend to reveal this and make the whole world one through Jesus.

Furthermore, although Israel still does not acknowledge it, countless Christians have learned and know that the Old Testament words are a foreshadowing of Jesus. What we lack is precisely to understand the Law that we consider so important well—to the extent that they, that is, Israel, would accept it—and to keep it better than they do. I have been asserting this without ceasing from beginning to end.

Truly, a correct understanding of the Bible is highly effective in uniting everyone, and understanding Abraham's 100 years of faith has a truly profound effect. We know that Abraham's virtuous life was carried over directly into the Pentateuch, becoming the law of a nation's community, and that Israel has respected and kept it for thousands of years. However, when Jesus looked at them, He saw how inadequate they were; therefore, He separated them to teach the most important regulations and spirit of the Law so that everyone could understand them. We also see Him personally explaining the Law and the Old Testament, verse by verse, to His disciples, feeding them the teachings, recognizing that they were all written about Himself. Jesus took the New Testament from His treasure house to speak, and He took the Old Testament from His treasure house to speak and share it with His disciples. I have already mentioned this in Matthew 13:52. This means that to become like this, one must understand the Law well, just like a scribe.

The observance of the Law pursued by Israel and the teaching of the Law by our Lord Jesus are in perfect alignment, without even a 1% discrepancy. We must know this. But what is the problem? The One who gave the Law has come to His Kingdom. And He holds the status of the Son of God. Yet, because they set aside the spirit of the Law and failed to practice the most important love, focusing only on the statutes to fill their own bellies, Jesus strongly and sternly rebuked them. Even now, Jesus gives rebuke to the church through various people. However, the poor, the captives, and the sick—that is, the weak multitude—come to know and believe in this Jesus through the help of the Holy Spirit, and follow His words. And that multitude grows. Israel should have simply repented upon seeing this, but they absolutely did not; instead, they nailed Jesus, who took on human form, to the cross, made Him shed blood, and put Him to death. Yet, Jesus resurrected. Islam does not convey this crucial message at all. Since Jesus did everything, God has absolutely no need to speak differently regarding the Law or the Bible.

If they correctly understand the Bible and live by following Jesus, there is no reason to quarrel with Israel. Israel also just needs to repent, believe in Jesus as Savior, and truly live according to Jesus' words—understanding the Law well, loving, living justly, and faithfully. They must love all of humanity in this way and abandon the narrow attitude of being a chosen people. If Islam truly wants to become the rightful heir of Abraham, they simply need to live the life He lived. They need to maintain close ties with all surrounding nations like a friend of God. They just need to respect His laws, revere Him, and love their neighbors. If one deprives people of their freedom, kills those who criticize, and beheads pastors or missionaries in front of the whole world, they bear absolutely no resemblance to Abraham. We must immediately grant freedom to conduct missions freely in this country. If Ishmael is the eldest son, he must not surround and try to kill Israel, the nation of his younger brother Isaac. Edom perished because it did just that.

If our understanding of God, the Old Testament, and Jesus is shallow, we are swayed this way and that, and we end up converting to Islam after believing. We are spreading the truth.

Now, looking at the entirety of Romans, we must see how the law is fulfilled according to the words of Jesus. This, too, must be understood by looking at the life of Abraham that preceded it. I believe Luther omitted this process too much. I do not think he understood Romans correctly.

Let us review the content we have already examined. By listening to it multiple times, you escape from a space blocked and surrounded by doctrine, and come to see broad and deep truths. This is the work of the Holy Spirit.

God’s most earnest hope for humanity is that humans live according to His Word and His will. He absolutely does not desire for humans, His created beings, to live as they please. Furthermore, God is not one who acts according to His own will; He establishes laws and desires that humans live according to them. Indeed, God respects the Law. He administers both punishment and reward according to the Law. The Law is the beautiful harmony resulting from the promise between the Almighty God and His creation. The Law is freedom, the Law is love, the Law is life, and the Law is an object of praise. A world where humans live as they please are a sinful world where injustice runs rampant, a state that the God of Order detests intensely. However, the order God has given to all humans is not bondage but liberation; it is an order in which all living human beings can live most peacefully and happily on this earth. God’s principle regarding humanity, which has remained steadfast and unchanging from creation to the end times, is precisely that humans must live according to the laws given by God. And by that very law, they will ultimately face judgment. The sole purpose of Jesus' coming is for sinful humanity to believe in Jesus, receive salvation, and also receive the Holy Spirit, so that, under the guidance of the Spirit, they may keep the fair and just laws given by God to all mankind. This principle is the core of Romans and the most important truth that permeates the entire Bible.

Dr. Yoo Hae-seok's Special Lecture on Islam: "Islam Has Come Closer to Us" - Evangelizing Muslims? Here's How You Do It!

The Book of Romans clearly demonstrates the love of God the Father, who gives His Son to sinners. The precious blood, the atoning death on the cross, and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, who came to put this love into practice, are testified to. A key theme is that sinners of the whole world are justified by repenting of their sins and believing in Jesus. Furthermore, the freedom from sin, death, and the law that comes from believing in Jesus is revealed. Additionally, the mission is expressed as the reborn believer, having received the Holy Spirit as a gift through His coming, being guided by the Holy Spirit to complete and firmly establish the law and fulfill its righteous demands. It guides us to ensure that by fulfilling the law described in Jesus’s Matthew 5:17-20 and keeping the law, we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven and become great, ensuring that there is never a single case where one fails to enter Heaven. It leads everyone to Heaven and presents the way to live as a believer in the world and in the church. Above all, it contains the secret of evangelism to Israel, which is of paramount importance. To briefly summarize the 16-chapter Book of Romans in this way, everything has been covered without any omissions.

Next, I will briefly introduce Abraham’s journey of faith found in Romans. The entirety of Chapter 4 describes Abraham’s faith, covering the acts of believing and departing, and believing and acting, through quotations from Genesis chapters 12 through 18. However, there is no mention of being justified by faith in Habakkuk 2:4 or of believing and offering one’s son in James chapter 2. Ultimately, we must understand this through the expression‎ "faith" from beginning to end, starting from Romans 1:17. Furthermore, we must pay attention to the English expression‎ that a person who lives their life day by day with faith is righteous. Abraham, the ancestor of Islam, was a man of faith and one who believed in the God of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. He was a good man who lived a life of justice, love, and faithfulness, and he kept the law well; when his 100-year life of faith came to an end, God, who had observed his life, eval‎uated him in this way. However, the One who saw and knew all these aspects is none other than our Lord Jesus. Jesus is man, the Son of God, and God Himself. Jesus is the Christ, that is, the One who holds the statuses of King, High Priest, and Prophet. He is the One who created the heavens and the earth, the God who knew Abraham and used Moses as His servant. If this God is demoted to a human being, what truth remains? Islam is committing the exact same transgression that the people of Israel committed against Jesus.

The Book of Romans proclaims that through our Lord Jesus, we can break free from the inevitability of sin, the law, and death—things that all humans must live with and eventually die from, and become free. When we enter the water to be baptized in His name because we believe in Jesus, it signifies the death of our old self. Furthermore, when Jesus is crucified, we also hang our old self on the cross with Him, and we die together. Believing in this truth, we respond as those who are dead to sin and the law. Through this, we become free from sin and the law. This is a freedom given only by Jesus, and no human being can grant such freedom. Moreover, the Holy Spirit causes us to be born again, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit sets us free from the law of sin and death. The content regarding receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit is found in Romans 7:6; when we cast aside our carnal desires and respond as those who are dead to the law, living under the guidance of the Holy Spirit brings about amazing things. However, what meaning is there in serving or teaching without believing in Jesus as God and without resolving the problem of sin? Israel and Islam remain in a state where the problem of sin has not been resolved. If you believe in Jesus, you first receive forgiveness for your sins. This is possible only when you accept Jesus as our Savior. We are sinners. Jesus is the Savior. He shed His blood and died on the cross in place of our sins. By believing in Jesus, we do not receive punishment for our sins but are forgiven. An act of faith—repenting and accepting Jesus as Savior—is absolutely necessary. Because both Israel and Islam lack this aspect, they remain sinners.

However, there is an amazing thing that happens to those who believe in Jesus. It is the true core of Romans, the path taken in accordance with Abraham's obedience, the life the people of Israel have dreamed of for a thousand years, and the grace that the Triune God finally bestows upon humanity. It is the fulfillment and firm establishment of the law, and the realization of the righteousness of the law. This state is the very moment when the Kingdom of God stands on this earth. The secret to God's will being done on this earth as it is in heaven lies in the spirit of Romans. God the Creator desires that all human beings on earth, starting from Adam, must live strictly according to God's will, God's commands, and God's laws. No one on earth can deviate from this law and this will of God. Not the Pope, nor the king of a powerful nation, nor the pastor of a mega-church—no being in human form can ever deviate from this principle. It is a principle that must be followed without fail. Furthermore, one's entire life is judged by this law to determine whether they lived according to it, and ultimately, they receive judgment from Jesus. That law is the law of the Bible. Therefore, since there are two stages to being justified by faith, one must first become a believer. The expression‎ "one who believes" used in Romans is different from the expression‎ "one who believes" used today, so you must discern this distinction. I have drawn a diagram for this. This is the content we studied earlier.

This is the fundamental process of becoming a believer, and all believers, following Jesus' command, first believe in Jesus and receive baptism in His name at the church. Furthermore, repentance is the absolute necessity. It refers to casting away the appearance of sin and means turning away from a sinful life through actions and heart. Then, God forgives all past sins, and the Holy Spirit undoubtedly comes as a gift to the one who has become this way. The Holy Spirit undoubtedly guides this person to the path of fulfilling the law, establishing it firmly, and achieving the righteous demands of the law. That ministry is evangelism and a good life, which are the greatest acts of love on earth. It perfectly aligns with the life of Abraham. And when a believer lives by faith in this way—that is, lives according to the Holy Spirit—God looks upon that person's faith and declares them righteous. This is not a one-time event, but rather God's attention and justification occur multiple times throughout a lifetime. This was undoubtedly the case with Abraham. These are the two aspects of justification by faith.

This is the secret to surpassing and overcoming the faith of Israel, and to defeat Islam, which lacks sin, bloodshed, forgiveness of sins, and rebirth. The works of the man of God, who has become a new masterpiece, are recorded in the Book of Romans. Jesus, who brought the scribe Paul to repentance and made him His servant, enables him to receive the Holy Spirit. He becomes born again. The Holy Spirit causes this Paul to live a good life. He causes him to live just as Abraham lived. And by preaching the gospel, he is made to love everyone he meets. And the number of saved saints increases, and the church is established. In this way, he walks with Jesus for at least 20 years and receives the guidance and teaching of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, the Book of Romans is the record written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by the Apostle Paul, who has become a joint masterpiece of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Indeed, the work of human salvation by the Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—is astonishing and wondrous. Human salvation is the act of God's love, which creates a completely new person from a human being who possesses the same human form through faith in Jesus. First, God the Father plans salvation because He loves us. And there is the shedding of blood and the death of our Lord Jesus, who is God the Son. The Holy Spirit comes as a gift to those who repent and receive forgiveness for their sins through faith. And the Holy Spirit makes us new creations. This is being born again. It is becoming a new person. This person is like Paul. All the powers Paul enjoyed were absolutely not Paul's alone. They were not the privilege of that one person. They are a privilege open to everyone who believes in Jesus and receives the Holy Spirit. And when you live according to the Holy Spirit, you come to do the work that Paul did. It is on a completely different level from people who are still sinners without Jesus or the Holy Spirit, doing things through the Law or the Quran. This is the meaning of believing in Jesus. And this is what Paul cries out without ceasing in his letters. In Romans, his experience of following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and his deep understanding of the Word are preserved exactly as they were. Jesus saves all of us from sin and enables us to receive the Holy Spirit, so He allows us to understand the Bible in this way through the guidance of the Spirit and to live the life Paul lived exactly as He did. The population at the time of Jesus was 200 million. Now it exceeds 8 billion. Now, there must be at least 40 servants of power like Paul in the whole world. We are all being called, educated, and guided for this great work

However, this entire process begins with faith in Jesus, and as recorded in the four Gospels, it begins with repentance. Repentance is essential. One must confess that one was a sinner in the past, recognize the gravity of one's sin, and believe in Jesus as Savior. That faith must always remain steadfast, and God declares righteous the person who lives each day according to and based on that faith. Furthermore, by keeping the law well under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, such a person establishes the Kingdom of God on this earth, where rule is governed by the law. This is the will of God's entire Old and New Testaments. No further prophets, writings, or words are needed; our Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Old and New Testaments are perfect. Mormonism and Islam, which use God's name as a pretext, do not have scriptures that came from God. Islam cannot solve the problem of the sinner. Bloodshed and the forgiveness of sins go hand in hand. Sin can absolutely not be resolved without bloodshed and death. The Holy Spirit cannot come and dwell with a life that is sinful. The Holy Spirit comes as a gift to dwell within a heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus. And He causes us to be born again as new people and enables us to keep God's word, that is, the law, with a tender heart. Islam also emphasizes salvation through human effort. It still has the problem of sin.

Ezekiel 36:24 I will bring you out from among the nations and gather you from among the peoples and bring you back to your own land.

25 I will sprinkle clean water on you to cleanse you; I will cleanse you from all your impurity and from all your idolatry.

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

27 I will put my Spirit in you and make you walk in my statutes and keep my ordinances.

28 You will dwell in the land I gave to your ancestors, and you will be my people, and I will be your God. (NIV)

Through Jesus, we have become this way, and Israel will surely become this way as well. Finally, I convey this content from beginning to end through my experience, walking with Jesus and under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I am sharing this content without any instruction from anyone because the entire process unfolded in perfect alignment with my own experiences. Of course, I learned a great deal from YouTube, and regarding Islam, setting aside the fundamental principles, I conveyed most of my knowledge by receiving instruction from those who came before me. I also want to clarify that this truly diverse learning was accomplished through the prayers of our predecessors in faith and the fifty million members of the Romans family. Therefore, overall, I put in very little effort, and this process was a source of immense joy for me. Everything is God's grace. It is the merit of the precious blood of our Lord Jesus. It is the merit of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!!

Although I introduced myself earlier, I am introducing myself again for the sake of evangelism. Exactly 40 years ago, I was a person more stubborn and hard as a stone than anyone else in this world. Born in Noryang, Namhae, I knew little about churches or cathedrals, and while there were a few believers in my neighborhood, I considered them strange. I was also a good student and entered a bank; however, seeing college students there, I considered giving up the bank to study for the civil service exam. Having served in KATUSA, I also had a desire to improve my English. I had studied Buddhism and Confucianism well, and I was so deeply immersed in Buddhism that I even wanted to practice asceticism in the mountains. I entered university with top honors and was filled with excitement at the dream of passing the civil service exam soon, becoming a high-ranking official, and contributing to reunification. I was studying for the exam in Gwandong Village, Jangyu, Gimhae. At the time, Elder Kim Seong-su of Banseok Church ran a study center, so I received evangelism offers through various channels. However, I had unwavering conviction in myself and firmly believed that I would succeed and live well through my studies, without Jesus, without knowing the Bible, and without a church.

Later, I easily passed the first round of the administrative civil service exam. One day, Elder Kim Seong-su gave me a Bible. I intended to refuse, asking why I should accept a book I wouldn't even read. However, since Elder Kim was from the same Namhae region, I decided to just accept it for the sake of appearances and kept it in my room. Then, without any intention of ever looking at it, I would meditate in the Buddhist style on the mountain, come down, and go into my room to prepare for the first round of the administrative civil service exam all day long. Because I was full of faith in myself, young, and capable, I believed that I absolutely did not need to rely on anything or receive help from others. I firmly believed that I was a moral, blameless, good-natured, honest, and kind person. I had absolutely no awareness or consciousness of sin. Therefore, whenever I saw an evangelist preaching about Jesus, I would ask, "Why believe in Jesus? You just need to believe in yourself." There is no one in my family who believes, and I am the very first person in history to believe.

However, a single Bible—one that remained silent, motionless, and soundless, just as it was—made me into the person I am today. It led me to become a pastor. How could such a person come to believe in Jesus? That is why, afterward, I simply distributed hundreds of Bibles for evangelism. This is because the Bible, the Word of God, is not merely a book; the words within it are powerful, living, and moving words.

One day, after meditating in the Buddhist style on a mountain, I returned to my room and sat down. Suddenly, I felt as if my head was being turned back, accompanied by a fear I had never felt before. Not knowing what to do about what had happened to me so suddenly, I looked around the room when my eyes fell upon a Bible. It was the very book Elder Kim Seong-su had silently given me. The thought that I must open the book and read it also entered my mind. The first Bible I opened was 1 Corinthians Chapter 13. However, as the letters entered my eyes one by one, they were not just ordinary letters. As the letters followed my eyes and were read, those words reflected my heart like a mirror. I saw very clearly and powerfully that I was a sinner—wicked, ugly, and devoid of any love. However, it was not just a fleeting sight. From that day on, for about five years, I saw myself intensely, driven to live according to the words of 1 Corinthians 13.

Tears welled up in my eyes, I knelt down, and a prayer naturally flowed from my mouth: "Please use me as your instrument." I did not even understand the meaning of "instrument," yet such a prayer came forth. Indeed, in a short time that lasted less than a few minutes, I became a completely different person. I became someone who sought to live by loving with all my heart and strength, just as the words of 1 Corinthians 13 say. This was because I saw so powerfully that the words of 1 Corinthians 13 were right, and that I was an ugly, wicked, and heinous person who should never live that way again—a person so utterly contrary to those words. It truly happened that way; it was absolutely not because I tried to live that way through my own efforts.

And after living like that for five years, on May 19, 1991, I was baptized in the name of Jesus at Banseok Church in Jangyu, Gimhae. After being baptized, attending church felt liberating, and I became much more peaceful. Then, in the spring of 1992, having passed the first round of the Civil Service Examination, I went to Sillim-dong, Seoul, to prepare for the second round. While Rev. Park Ki-soo of Seonmin Church was preaching, Jesus came filling the temple. It was the Jesus we had seen in black and white. And from His mouth, He breathed red fire into my heart. Two or three small flames, like candlelight, flared up. At the same time, I also came with the faith that if I prayed for the sick among those who believe in Jesus, they would be healed. Since then, whenever I prayed for the sick, Jesus healed so many people.

After failing the second round of the Civil Service Examination by just one point, I began to study the Bible in accordance with God's will to become a pastor. While reading Terry Hall's *Panorama Bible* at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary library, I learned how to read and organize the Bible in that book. Putting the pastoral examination aside, I first spent about a year organizing the entire Bible. I continued this without rest for about 28 years, uploading everything to *Romans for 50 million*. And the Holy Spirit has enabled me to evangelize without ceasing until now. And regarding the series of events that happened to me, no one explained them to me, nor did I understand them; I simply thought that I had had a precious experience. Then, while writing my seminary thesis on church growth from the perspective of an evangelist, I came across the following verse, and I realized that the Holy Spirit had come upon me just as the Word stated.

Acts 2:37 ○When they heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38 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 For 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)

Having received the Holy Spirit and learned well, and having lived under the guidance of the Holy Spirit for about 34 years, I should have become someone who preaches the gospel to the whole world like Paul. However, I remain unknown, and no one recognizes me. Although I did not know the Bible well, there were still parts of my former self that I could not let go of; I committed sins, and there were even instances where I was severely rebuked by God. When I went to Jayang-dong to study theology and then returned to Sillim-dong, my family was shattered, and I experienced four years of hellish suffering from depression and insomnia. Although I received great love from my Catholic ex-wife—love akin to that of Jesus loving a sinner—I was unfaithful in every aspect. My wife left, and I endured extreme hardship; through this, I witnessed the pain Jesus felt when Catholicism and Protestantism split. I realized this as I saw my heart split in two, barely held together at the edges.

This happened around the year 1998–2000. Then, God gave me a new wife, a woman of Russian nationality, through whom I bore a son and was healed of my depression and insomnia. With her help, I studied theology and pulled myself together, intending to treat my new wife well so that such things would never happen again. However, despite believing in Jesus, I had to live in Korea for 40 years in near-total poverty. My wife, who came from abroad, has worked herself to the bone for 20 years to raise our son. Because I was busy posting these messages and studying, I failed to fulfill my duties as a human being to everyone around me. In particular, my younger brother and my late mother have helped my family with material support and money without ceasing for about 40 years. The entire congregation of Jamsil Church has helped me, and recently, Elder Park and Pastor Joo have been assisting me for several years. I have been unfilial throughout my life and failed to fulfill my duties to my family, so I owe a debt to all the members of Jamsil Church.

Despite this, the Lord, who is love, has enabled me to do all these things through ceaseless encouragement and inspiration. I have become a person who must convey only my own inadequacy, the precious blood of our Lord Jesus, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. God chose the most wicked life in the world and granted me grace with the greatest love. Since this writing is being produced with the help of others, I believe that everyone is better than me and will be used more greatly than I have been. As an unfilial and rebellious sinner is being used in this way, I believe that everyone else will have greater opportunities than I have. Hallelujah! I give all glory to the Lord alone.

I give all glory to the Lord alone. Regarding justification by faith, God has truly revealed it to us in a very precise and detailed manner, in the exact order. The entire process is recorded in the Book of Romans for fifty million people, allowing everyone to verify it. God first made it known that one is a believer. I submitted this to the Full Gospel Church testimony contest. Furthermore, while reading and organizing the Bible, I came to understand a little about Abraham's lifelong journey of faith and also came to know Habakkuk 2:4. I also saw that Romans 4:1-16 describes Abraham's faith at ages 75-85, while verses 17-22 describe his faith at ages 99-100. I also saw that it is a steadfast and unchanging faith. Additionally, I saw that freedom from the law in Romans 7:6 is obtained through receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I observed that the life of faith of a saint is ultimately accomplished through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and that living in this way leads to the fulfillment of the law. And while looking at the English version of Romans 1:17, I came to understand faith from beginning to end and saw that a person who lives a life of faith, believing in Jesus day by day, is justified. Seeing that this differs from both Catholic and Protestant teachings, I shared it with the whole world and translated it into English to inform 700 theologians around the globe. I testify that every single moment of this was due to the Lord's companionship and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I am not a theologian. I am not a Bible researcher. I am a person who evangelizes as a pastor and works in the world without engaging in ministry. I am merely someone who immediately records and conveys new understandings of the Bible. I absolutely do not convey this through study.

Furthermore, I came to realize that a life lived according to the Holy Spirit fulfills the law, establishes it firmly, and accomplishes the righteous requirements of the law. Through this, I also saw the fulfillment of Jesus' command in Matthew 5:17-20. And having seen the completion of Ezekiel 36:24-28, I jumped for joy and preached this new understanding of Romans to the whole world without rest for about eight years. Now, 500,000 people across more than 120 countries around the world have come to see this. Indeed, this was not the result of study, but a realization that came naturally, given by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!!

Furthermore, while recently studying Abraham's faith through Genesis in English, I learned from many others and, guided by the Holy Spirit, realized that regarding Abraham's 100 years of faith, Protestants discuss the earlier parts, while Catholics discuss the later parts. I saw that a complete understanding of justification by faith alone is achieved only when these two are combined, and I testified to this well. Also, God gave me the message of "Abraham's great sword" in the past, but I could not fully understand its meaning. So, I had forgotten about it. However, Abraham is now connected to the Book of Romans; he unites Catholicism and Protestantism and provides clues for Israel's salvation. There is also content that leads to unity with Islam. "Abraham's great sword" is truly understood in this way. That is why I am uploading this text, amounting to 200 pages of A4 paper, along with various videos. I believe this is due to God's love and expectation for the Korean people. Hallelujah!!

All materials regarding my 40 years of faith—including evangelism, Bible organization, and summaries of Romans with new insights—are available on the "50 million Romans" Daum Cafe and Naver Blog, making them accessible to people all over the world. I am a person with few secrets on a global scale. I praise only the precious blood of our Lord Jesus, who saved heinous sinners. Through the merit of His blood and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I understand and share these teachings. There is little content that I have strove or pondered over on my own; I understand and share most of it through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I am neither a scholar nor a researcher; as an evangelist, I read and organize the Bible, and while evangelizing, I share these teachings under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is why I am an evangelist.

I believe that anyone can evangelize to Islam by reviewing all these materials. First, the Word of God transforms people. Therefore, even if you simply distribute Bibles to them without saying a word, the Almighty God works within them. Furthermore, if you teach the Bible in English so they can learn well, they will come to know the truth and be encouraged to read the Scriptures. As for those who have come to Korea, you simply need to serve them with love. I believe that you should cherish them for a long time, sharing, giving, and sharing until they change. It would also be good to become good neighbors and friends. Please do not judge the entire group based on the radicals among them. If you pour out all your love upon the hundreds of thousands who have come to Korea, and if even a small minority among them come to believe in Jesus, God will guide that person just as He has done and make them a preacher of the Gospel to the whole world.

There are indeed groups that have grown into truly large crowds and intend to spread the Gospel to the whole world, so you must be cautious regarding them. Furthermore, since it is said that about 70% of Muslims among them are those who love peace and wish to live ordinary lives, I believe we should view the majority as such people, love them, and evangelize them.

My writing addresses the unity of Catholicism and Protestantism, evangelism in Israel, and evangelism in Islam. It is a long text and somewhat lacking in organization, so please take it into consideration.

Abraham's life can be understood through the Old Testament, specifically Genesis chapters 12–26 of the Pentateuch. As a friend of God, he is the one who showed all humanity a life so precious and righteous. He is the ancestor of us believers, the ancestor of Israel, and the ancestor of Islam. The ones who lived lives most exactly like this person are King David and all the prophets in the Old Testament, and the Apostle Paul in the New Testament, and His Epistle to the Romans clearly proves this. We must convey this life to Islam and to Israel so that Israel and Islam may receive the evangelism and return. We know that through the Old and New Testaments, God's greatest dream is to establish His kingdom on this earth. I earnestly hope that everyone knows that this kingdom is one where the law is perfected and firmly established, and the righteous demands of the law are fulfilled, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit of the saints.

Romans: Blueprint of the Kingdom of God
Ro 1	The revelation of righteousness from God—that righteousness is righteousness by faith from beginning to end. As it is written, the righteous are those who live by faith. It is not faith alone, nor faith plus works, but faith plus life.
Ro 4 Ge 15:6 Jas 2	As an example of a man of faith, Abraham's faith is recorded in two ways in Romans 4 and one way in James: around the age of 75–85 (Romans 4:1–16, Genesis 15:6), around the age of 100 (Romans 4:17–22, Genesis 17, 18), and James 2 (around the age of 118–125). This is an explanation of faith from beginning to end. Even Luther and the Catholic Church missed this.
Ro 7:6	Both the Catholic and Protestant churches have completely misinterpreted this. The correct interpretation is: “We have been set free from the law. Therefore, we now serve not by the old method of serving according to the statutes, but by a new method of serving according to the Spirit.” The Catholic and Protestant churches translated it in a way that caused the issue of method to be misunderstood as a problem of the law. In other words, by translating it as “old statutes” or “old of the statutes,” they interpreted it as if there were problems with the law itself, causing believers to treat the law negligently. Romans 7:6 is another explanation of Romans 1:17; that is, it accurately explains how faith should manifest in life (referring to the Korean translation).
Ro 3:31 Ro 8:3-4 Ro 13:8-10	As a result of the Apostle Paul serving according to the Holy Spirit for over 20 years, amazing things occurred. He was clearly freed from the law, and he witnessed the remarkable result of firmly establishing the law—which he had previously failed to succeed in despite striving to the death before knowing Jesus—and fulfilling the righteousness of the law and completing it. This was accurately expressed in the verse on the left. This perfectly corresponds to Jesus’ command to keep the law in Matthew 5:17-20. This is the secret to Paul becoming great in the Kingdom of Heaven. Furthermore, it perfectly corresponds to the words of Ezekiel 36:24-28, which reveal the Triune God's new plan of salvation.
Ro 14:17	The Kingdom of God is not found in eating and drinking, but is a kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. As mentioned above, if the law is kept, righteousness abounds; consequently, there is peace, and where there is righteousness and peace, there is joy; therefore, Romans seeks to establish this kingdom.
In conclusion	The content of the Epistle to the Romans is exactly as stated above. Entering the 2000s, God's will is revealed in this way. Catholicism and Protestantism become one, and the secret of Jewish evangelism lies here. Korea is a nation that has prepared and waited for 3,000 years for this purpose. The Gospel of Peace
Ro 1:17		Romans 1:16. I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." 16. I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from beginning to end, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." 16. I am not ashamed of that gospel. The gospel is the power of God that brings salvation to anyone who believes, first to the Jews, and then to the Gentiles. 17. The gospel shows the way God places humanity in a right relationship with Himself. Humans come to have a right relationship with God solely through faith. Did not the Bible also say, "The one who has a right relationship with God through faith will live"? (NIV, KRV, Common Translation) English Translation: Verse 17— In the gospel, a righteousness of God has been revealed. That righteousness is a righteousness by faith from beginning to end. As it is written, the righteous person is one who lives his life day by day with faith.
Ro 4:1-16 Ge 15:6 17, 18 Ro 4:17-22 Jas 2		Rom 4:2. 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) Genesis 15:6. Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord credited it to him as righteousness. Ge 17:17 Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” Ge 18: 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure? Rom 4:19. 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 because of a lack of faith, but was strengthened in faith, giving 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) James 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. (NIV)
롬 Ro 7:6		Romans 7:6. Now that we have died to what bound us, we have been released from the law; therefore, we serve in the newness of the Spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 6. We were held captive by the law, but now we have died and are freed from those restrictions. Therefore, we no longer serve according to the old statutes, but have come to serve with the new life given by the Holy Spirit. 6. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. (Revised Korean Version, Common Translation, NIV) English Translation: But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law. Therefore, we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of serving according to the written code. (Both Catholics and Protestants must correct this quickly; it is sacrilegious to call the Pentateuch, the object of eternal praise, outdated.)
Ro 3:31 Ro 8:3-4 Ro13:10		Rom 3:31. Do we then nullify the law by faith? By no means! Rather, we uphold the law. (NIV) Rom 8:3 What the law could not do, because it was weakened by the flesh, God did: by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh, 4 so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (NIV) Rom 13:10. Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law. (NIV)
Ro14:17		Romans 14:17. For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (NIV) / The appearance of the kingdom where the law is fulfilled with the help of the Holy Spirit
Mt 5:17-20 Eze 36:24-28		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. (NIV) Ezekiel 36:24 I will bring you out from among the nations and gather you from among the peoples and bring you back to your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you to cleanse you; I will cleanse you from all your impurity and from all your idolatry. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put my Spirit in you I will make you walk in my statutes and keep my ordinances. 28 You shall dwell in the land I gave to your ancestors, and you shall be my people, and I shall be your God. (NIV)

I have checked and corrected the relevant passages one by one, and provided an explanation in a table below. Everyone will be able to understand it easily.

I am now wrapping up this long, long letter. It seems to have taken about 10 to 15 days. I began when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and now May is just around the corner. I believe that a new world of the Bible will open up for everyone. I am a tool chosen for this work. To become a tool, I studied social sciences through undergraduate and graduate school preparations for the Civil Service Examination, graduated from theological seminary, read and organized the Bible, and evangelized. Furthermore, I lived in poverty for over 40 years, without money, so that I could not even think of anything else. Since I left the bank in 1984, I have consistently remained far from the material blessings that Korea enjoys for over 40 years. That is why I lived this way, unable to even contemplate other thoughts. And He caused all the various things I wanted to do to fail. Nevertheless, I lived freely and peacefully.

God always gave me peace and comfort without ceasing. However, the family around me and the people in my household suffered great pain and loved me unconditionally. Jamsil Church has also served me well for 32 years. Almost no one knows that I am doing this kind of work, and even my wife does not fully understand it. To many people, I have failed to fulfill the duties of a human being as an ordinary person would. Throughout my life, I have been unfilial to my mother and father. I failed to fulfill my duties to my siblings as well. I caused my ex-wife pain and failed to repay even a single bit of the love from Jamsil Church. What could a person who lived such a life possibly boast of? It is solely God’s love, election, and grace. All glory belongs to God. Furthermore, the 500,000 people around the world who have read my writing are the ones who have ceaselessly encouraged me to write this. I give thanks to everyone. This text is long and contains some repetition. I did so to emphasize the importance of repetition and to ensure that you understand immediately without having to go back and verify the previous content yourself; please understand this well.

God of love! I thank you for providing all these materials in detail through the instrument of Jesus and for allowing me to convey them to the whole world. I understand the Bible through the merit of the precious blood of our Lord Jesus and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and I share it with the whole world. All glory belongs to You. I share God's will while praying that Catholicism and Protestantism become one, that Israel returns to the Lord, and that Islam is evangelized. May You alone receive all glory! Hallelujah!! God of mercy! Move the reader of this message so that they may fully understand God's will, remember all those who have helped me, and fill them with abundant blessings! I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus. Amen!
