Many people believe that if they do a lot of good, kind, and favorable deeds, they will go to heaven. However, God never made such a promise. The second coming of Jesus is a time to harvest the fruits of God’s seed that Jesus had sown 2,000 years ago, and to seal such people to create God’s new kingdom. Furthermore, it is a time to capture and lock up the dragon, and open a new era of God’s reign. This is the purpose of the Bible, and the fulfillment of God’s final prophecy.
Let us examine this in further detail. After Adam’s sin, God promised to capture Satan who had been ruling over the earth (Rv 20:1-3). He promised to resolve the issue of sin and to establish His new people and kingdom, and He fulfilled His promises (Rv 1:5-6; 5:9-10, Rv 7).
In order to accomplish this, God promised in the Old Testament prophecies (after the time of Moses) that He would sow His seed and send the promised pastor. This gospel of promise was preached for about 600 years, and then the promised pastor (Jesus) came and sowed the seed of the secrets of heaven. Jesus also promised to gather the fruits from the seed he had sown to create God’s new kingdom (Mt 13:24-30, Heb 8:10), to capture and lock up the dragon (the devil) who had been ruling over the earth since the time of Adam, and to open a new era to create what is new.
God fulfilled at the time of Moses what He had promised with Abraham. God fulfilled at the time of Jesus’ first coming what He had promised through the Old Testament prophets, and at the time of Jesus’ second coming, He also fulfilled all that He had promised during the time of Jesus’ first coming. This is the Bible, the promise, the prophecy and its fulfillment. This is God’s will, and our hope.
Just because something is called a religion, it does not make it one. But rather, a religion must have promise and fulfillment. Can a person be called a pastor if God does not share His revelation with him? Just as people did not seek nor call on the name of God from the time of Adam’s sin until Seth and Enosh were born (Gn 4:26), religion became corrupt today and the will of the true God is nowhere to be found.
The pastors are doing their ministries based on the commentaries with their arbitrary judgment instead of the Bible, considering the commentaries as their gods. They have the Bible, the Book of God, but it only became a useless thing. There is no one who walks with God, no righteous truth, and no messenger who speaks God’s Word—this is the end of religion. It came to a point that even a child can know how corrupt religion became. Because the pastors do not know the meaning of their religious scripture, their followers cannot walk on the way of righteousness, and religion is only adding on corruption upon corruption.
In the midst of such an era, the time of God’s promise has dawned as what was promised has been fulfilled. Finally, it has become the new era which God reigns. Only when the corrupt religions throw themselves away and come before God—and only when they become one religion under God—the believers, all of humanity, and the pastors can receive salvation and avoid destruction.
Therefore, all religions leaders born in this era must follow God’s will and fulfill their duty in unifying all religions. They must bring cessation of war and achieve world peace for the future generations to receive the world of peace as their inheritance. This is our duty, and the work that the true pastor who belongs to God must do.
Let us gather our strength and tear down the walls between us. Let us hold each other’s hands and become God’s messengers of peace to establish the kingdom of peace, so that it can be the kingdom of heaven God reigns.
