Born on On the earth clouds

--> Explanation.

(1) Jesus witnessed during the 40 days after the resurrection. ; This means that the resurrected Jesus has already returned to the earth.

(2) In (Act 1:11) Jesus ascended into heaven from the earth. ; After Jesus ascended into heaven, then Jesus descended on the clouds in the manner of the Jewish interpretation. 1) Jesus appeared to Saul (Paul) on the road to Damascus. (Act 9:3-6) 2) Jesus appeared to the author of the book of Revelation. (Rev 1:9-18). 3) Jesus appeared to many saints in history.

(3) How will Jesus return again in the last days? ; According to Jesus' interpretation, Elijah returned through John the Baptist, who inherited the same mission as Elijah. --> Likewise, Jesus will return through another person who inherits the same mission as the messiah Jesus. (Rev 12:5) (Rev 3:12) (Rev 19:12) (Rev 2:17) ; If someone denies Jesus' interpretation about John the Baptist being Elijah, then they deny that Jesus is the messiah because Elijah did not return.

(4) The first coming of Jesus. ; At the time of the first coming of the messiah, there were two kinds of contradictory Bible verses about how the messiah would come. ; One is in the flesh (on the earth). The other is on the clouds. ; In reality, Jesus appeared in the flesh (born on earth), not on the clouds. --> Which interpretation does Christianity choose today? ; Jewish interpretation or Jesus' interpretation?

(a) Bible verses about Jesus returning born on the earth. (Luk 18:8) "When the Son of Man comes will He really find faith on the earth?"

(Mat 7:21-23) In Jesus name prophesied, cast out demons, do mighty workd - still the Lord will say to them - "Depart from me you evildoers".

(Lk 17:24-27) Jesus will suffer and be rejected in the last days as at the time of Noah (there are 1 billion Christians on the earth).

(Luk 17:20,21) "The kingdom of Heaven will not come with signs. (No angels with trumpets from heaven (1 Th 4:16)).

(Luk 17:22,23) "You will desire to see the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it"

(Luk 17:33) "Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, and whoever lose his life will preserve it"

(Lk 17:37) Where the corpses (dead bodies) the eagles and vultures are - opposite explanation.

(b) Evidence of the Principle view that Jesus will return in the flesh. --> What is the purpose of the coming of the messiah?

(1) To eliminate original sin, spiritually and physically. --> At the second coming, the returning Jesus should eliminate original sin, spiritually and physically. (The sin of Adam and Eve who were both spiritual and physical beings and who fell both spiritually and physically). (This is why the returning Jesus needs a physical body).

(2) The returning messiah should establish the kingdom of heaven on earth and in the spirit world.

spirit --> dominates body spirit world returning messiah needs a physical body physical --> dominates --< body the earth people will be able to see the returning messiah's physical body

(Rev 1:7) (Mat 24:30) messiah comes on clouds (1 Ths 4:16,17)

(Rev 17:15)- water means evil people (Heb 12:1)- clouds mean good people

Diagram

water --> Clouds = good people - holy people (witnesses) evaporates | | <------------ | water evil people evil is purified

--> Bible verses about power and judgement: (Mat 16:27,28) (Mat 24:30,31) (Mat 25:31-46) (Mar 13:26) (2 Tim 4:1) (Rev 19:11-15)

; Bible verses about Jesus coming soon:

(Mat 10:23) (Mat 16:28) (Jno 21:22) (Rev 3:11)

(a) To give hope and courage to early Christians who would have to receive persecution and martyrdom (under the Roman empire).

In order for Christianity to pay indemnity for the crucifixion of Jesus. ; Because the Israelites killed the messiah Jesus, they received punishment for 2,000 years and 6 million Jewish people died under Hitler. ; Israel lost God's two great blessings. First - Jesus' language would have become the international language for all eternity. Second - Jerusalem (Israel) would have become the center of thought (education), family life, economics and politics, and all heavenly culture for eternity. ; The Jewish people are the 1st generation. Christianity is the 2nd generation (as in Moses' time). 2) In order for Christianity to restore the Roman empire (satan's country) to God's side. --> Christianity should pay the price to satan.

(b) In order to protect against the appearance of anti-Christs. --> If the Bible mentioned (directly) that Jesus would come again in the flesh and not on the clouds, then many anti- Christs would appear over the 2,000 year period (from Jesus until now).

<1> No one knows the time of the second coming:

(Mat 24:36) "That day and hour no one knows"

(2 Pet 3:8-10) "The Lord will come like a thief in the night"

(Rev 3:3) "I will come upon you as a thief and you will not know what hour I will come upon you"

(Amo 3:7) "The Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets"

(Mat 25:1-13) "Parable of the wise and foolish virgins" 5 wise virgins are prepared to accept the Messiah, 5 foolish virgins do not accept the Messiah. (Oil is the Divine Principle)

(1 Ths 5:4) "You, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief"

--> At Noah's time - God taught mankind through Noah about the flood judgement.

--> At the time of Sodom and Gomorrah - God taught the people through Abraham about the judgement by fire.

--> At the time of Nineveh - God taught the people through Jonah, (They repented from the king down to the beggar).

--> At the 1st coming - God prepared Zachariah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary, John the Baptist, 3 wise men, Simeon, Anna.

Jesus used many miracles in order to be recognized as the messiah. (Jn 10:38; Lk 10:13-15; Mt 11:21-23)

<1> Biblical Evidence of Where Christ Will Come Again.

(a) Proof through Jesus' words. (Mat 21:33-43) "The kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.

Diagram

Owner (house holder) = Lord

Tennants Other tennants

Jews Other nation (Israelite people) (producing fruit)

Lord ---> God 4 major Servants ---> Prophets 12 minor (Elijah)

Son ---> Jesus

(Mat 3:9) - Not only the Israelites are the descendants of Abraham. (Rom 9:6-8) - Not all the Israelites are the descendants of Abraham.

--> First Israel = Jewish people. Second Israel = Christianity (Rome, Franks, England, America). Third Israel = Other nation producing fruit.

(b) Far eastern nation (nation producing fruit). ; (Rev 7:2) "From the rising of the sun with the seal of the living God." (Mat 24:27) Lightning and the Son of Man comes from the East and shines in the West. (Rev 14:1) God's and Messiah's name written on their foreheads. (3 x 4 = 12 --> 12 x 12 = 144 --> 144,000). --> The far eastern nation which "produces the fruits" is Korea.

; First Israel = 400 years --> Slavery in Egypt. Second Israel = 400 years --> Persecution in Rome (Christianity). Third Israel = 40 years --> Persecution by Japan (Korea).

(1) God, Adam - Eve, children. (Predestined four position foundation of the ideal world of creation). (2) Satan, Adam - Eve, children (satan's four position foundation). (3) God, Jesus - Holy Spirit, Holy people (spiritual four position foundation). (4) God, Second Coming - True Mother, True Children (perfect four position foundation). --> Noah - 40 days flood, 40 years x 3 building ark. Moses - 40 days fast x 2, 40 years x 3 going to Canaan. Jesus - 40 days x 2 (fast and resurrection). Second Coming - 40 years persecution by Japan. and 40 years course (messiah's course). --> 400 years x 8 (in history). 40 years x 3 (Saul, David, Solomon) 40 days (Elijah's fast) 40 days (Jonah witnessed)

(1) Satan's king (Cain) - recieved revelation Daniel (Abel) - interpreted revelation

--> God prophesied future history through satan's king.

(2) Daniel as a slave (younger brother) restored the elder brothers birhright through King Nebuchadnezzar (elder brother).

(3) History of time identity = parallels of history. --> The end of Israel history and the end of Christian history are realised in time identity.

Explanation :

(1) Two kinds of race 1) Using boats, sea race (pirates) dominated all over the world through the river, Mediterranean sea, Atlantic ocean, Pacific ocean. 2) Using horses, horse riding race (mounted bandits) lived in the grassy field areas and dominated the agricultural areas.

(2) White horse riding race who lived in the grass field which is central Asia (S. Russia). 1) The white horse riding race conquered the 3 agricultural races which were, India, Mesopotamia and islands (Greek). 2) This white horse riding race became the huns 1500 years ago and invaded Europe. (3) The yellow horse riding race which is Mongolia. 1) There was a grass field road, which is made naturally for the horse from Asia to Eastern Europe. 2) Centering on the great wall in China the horse riding race, Mongolians, lived in the land North of the great wall and the Chinese agricultural race lived in the land south of the great wall. --> Mongolia invaded and established King dynasties. This king dynasty ruled and dominated the Chinese people during a 150 times in Chinese history. 3) The mongols invaded Russia, East Europe, the Middle East and India. --> The mongol leaders accepted Islam. Therefore, Islamic nations invaded and conquered othe nations using military power like the Mongolian horse riding race.

This book is something like the Book of Revelation in the Bible. It tells of how a true and righteous king will someday emerge in Korea. Many of the details are hidden and symbolic because Korean kings in the past would have destroyed it were it too specific. Copies of this book still exist today.
