The Physical Fulfillment of Revelation III: The Messenger of Jesus
After the seven messengers chosen by Jesus were deceived by the Nicolaitans (Nicolas and the ministers of the Cheongpodo Training Institute) and fell into sin, Jesus chose one man from among the members of the Tabernacle Church who had personally witnessed and heard all of these events.
The name of the man chosen again by Jesus was Lee John. Jesus showed him how the members of the Tabernacle Church were being deceived and instructed him to send letters of repentance to them.
Although the seven messengers received these letters from Lee John, they did not repent. Instead, they united with the Nicolaitans. After this, Jesus called Lee John into heaven in the spiritual realm once again.
There, Lee John saw God’s throne, Jesus, the four archangels, and the countless angels surrounding them.
An angel then told him that heaven would descend to the earth (the physical world). Lee John was commanded to establish on earth the same organization that existed in heaven, after which he returned to the physical world.
Back in the physical world, Lee John received and ate the little scroll containing the true meaning and physical fulfillment of the Book of Revelation, which was given to him by an angel. He then began proclaiming its message to the churches.
Through this testimony, many people were evangelized, and Lee John established the Twelve Tribes of Shincheonji on the earth. When the Twelve Tribes were completed, God, Jesus, and heaven came to them according to the promise, and they became one.
