Shincheonji, or SCJ in short is formally known as 'Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony'.
The church is the nation of God, that he created, with the purpose to fulfill what is in Heaven on the Earth. Additionally, it is to be a Holy Temple where the priests described in the book of Revelation can be found, the people of God -- all of which receive salvation with God. Finally, it is the recreation of the 12 tribes of Israel, a mission that God has been working for 6,000 years to achieve after the fall of man in Adams generation.
2 Pt 3:13
"But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and new earth, the home of righteousness"
Their objective:
The goal of SCJ is to be the church that heals all the hearts of the people, testifying the relation and what the church has heard and witnessed, which is by the will of God.
Rv 1:2
"...who testifies to everything he saw -- that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ".
Behind the name
'Shincheonji' is a Korean word which translates to 'New Heaven and New Earth'. It represents the new tabernacle and new saints that are established. In Moses time, he built a tabernacle on earth based on the patterns God had given to them from Heaven. In the same way, SCJ is also established based on what the Promised Pastor saw in the spiritual world as described in Revelation 4. Henceforth, SCJ is the Kingdom of God created on earth as it is in heaven.
Rv 14:1-5 [NIV 1984]
"Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sand a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No-one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
Rv 15:2-5 [NKJV, 1982]
And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:“Great and marvelous are Your works,Lord God Almighty!Just and true are Your ways,O King of the saints!
Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?For You alone are holy.For all nations shall come and worship before You,For Your judgments have been manifested.”After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
Secondly, "Church of Jesus" refers that Jesus is Lord over the church as indicative from the name.
Thirdly, "The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony" signifies the fact that the temple testifies the reality of the fulfilment of Revelation that is seen and heard as mentioned in the latter part of the quoted scripture above in Rev 15.
The history of God's salvation - 6,000 years
The Bible details in length the strenuous history that God has dealt with. In Isaiah 1, you can feel the anguished heart of God as he sees his children become corrupted, and are taken prisoner by their Gentile enemies. God told them ahead of time what would take place through numerous prophets to save them, as well as letting them know about a saviour who will come to rescue them from their sinful nature.
However, in light of this, Israel did not believe it and thought they were the only righteous and good people. The consequence of this was that God chose a new shepherd with the goal of recreating a new country, and punished the sinful people and the enemy that destroyed them.
It is only at this stage does divine judgement start and the past days come to an end -- all so that recreation can take place.
This vicious cycle has been continuing time and time again through every generation since Adams sin.
Jeremiah 31:22 [NKJV, 1982]
How long will you gad about,O you backsliding daughter?For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth—A woman shall encompass a man.”
The era of New Spiritual Israel
At Jesus' second coming, New Spiritual Israel begins -- it is the time where the shepherd promised comes and creates the New Kingdom according to the Bible.
Jesus returns and punishes the previous generation for its corruption and failure to keep the covenant God had left for them. After this, the creation of the 12 tribes of the new generation beings.
They are described as a Kingdom and Priests to God that are freed from sin by Jesus' blood. They are:
- Born again through Gods seed.
- They are harvested.
- They are sealed with Gods name and the name of Jesus.
- They do not add or take away from the words of the book of Revelation.
- They belong to the 12 tribes of the promised nation.
- They have their names written on the Book of Life.
John 14:23
Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.John 14:29
And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.
Zion Christian Mission Centre
Zion Christian Mission Centre is a free Bible study where God and his throne are.
Why?
It creates twelve tribes by sealing the harvested people with the new words, which implies that the words of Revelation have been fulfilled.
Here are some statistics from the previous year alone:
- 25,000 total graduated students (160,000 students total)
- 600 centres overseas (countries include, but are not limited to U.S.A., China, Japan, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, Austria, Italy, Australia, South Africa, India and the Philippines)
- Over 1,000 students graduating each month throughout the 12 tribes
What's the big deal?
Hundreds of international pastors have acknowledged that Shincheonji is the church that teaches truth and have in turn left their previous ordainments.
As God fulfilled his promise to Abraham at the time of Moses (Ex 12) and the Old Testament through Jesus at the first coming (Jn 19:30), likewise, the New Testament is being fulfilled and Shincheonji is the church that is testifying the physical fulfillment (Rv 1:2, Rv 10, 22:16).
This word is incredibly precious - it is priceless and untradeable even if the whole world was given in exchange; this is why it is given without charge.
Rv 22:17 [NIV 2011]
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
