π Rev 21:1
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”
for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and there was no longer any sea.
The Reason that the First Heaven
and First Earth Passed Away
Why does the main reference say that the first heaven and first earth passed away?
The reason why Jesus proclaimed, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!” at the first coming was because the Physical Israelites, Jerusalem, at that time committed sins. That is why Jesus asked for repentance. Today, too, at the time of the second coming, if you look at the tabernacle in Revelation 13, the group of the dragon, the destroyers (the beast with seven heads and ten horns) came into the tabernacle of heaven, and they marked the foreheads and the hands of the saints of the tabernacle with the mark of the beast. The saints received that mark and worshiped the beast, the dragon. As a result, the chosen people of the tabernacle were destroyed. This is why the first heaven and first earth passed away. This event was betrayal and destructioin. There were people who marked others, and there were people who received the mark. Furthermore, there were people who worshiped, and there were people who were worshiped by others. Just like at the first coming (Mt 23), the destroyers stood in the tabernacle of the chosen people at the second coming.
This is why the one who has witnessed that event asked for repentance.
The first heaven and first earth that was destroyed and passed away were the Spriritual Israelites that Jesus created with his disciples 2,000 years ago when he came to the land of Judah. It was the end of Spiritual Israel. They passed away due to their betrayal. Revelation 6:12-17 and Matthew 24:29 figuratively use the sun, moon, and stars of the sky (Gn 37:9-11) to explain their end. They fall from heaven to the earth. They begin with the holy spirit, and yet they return to mere flesh. They are part of heaven, but later they become part of the earth. In other words, they belong to God, but then they come to belong to Satan.
God prophesied the events of Jesus’ first coming through the Old Testament prophets. The prophecies were regarding how Jerusalem would be destroyed and captured by gentiles. Likewise, Jesus and his disciples prophesied in the New Testament that the saints of God’s tabernacle would be destroyed and held captive by the pastors of the devil, and that all nations would fall down by taking the fruit of good and evil, the wine of adulteries?the venom of serpents, the devil, and the poison of cobras, and that they would also marry the spirit of the devil (Rv 17 ~ Rv 18). If these prophecies and the fulfilled realities are not true, then God, Jesus, and his disciples would have lied.
However, the prophecies have been fulfilled just as they were recorded. Who can deny this? This is the end of Spiritual Israel that was established 2,000 years ago.
The Physical Israelites in the Old Testament came to an end at Jesus’ first coming, and the Spiritual Israelites were created through Jesus. In the same manner, Jesus, who has returned today according to the New Testament, has brought an end to the corrupt Spiritual Israel, just as we have examined above. He has created the New Spiritual Israel by harvesting and sealing people. This newly created New Spiritual Israel is new heaven and new earth, Shincheonji.
It is to this placet that God, heaven, and Jesus come according to the promises (Rv 3:12), and that the spirits of the dead also come (1 Thes 4:14). The blessings promised in Revelation 2 and 3 will also be in that place.
