i am lee
a center instructor from the 12 tribes
of shintonji taught by the leader of
simon tribe
our tribe leader was taught by the
chairman of xintongji lee man-hee
thank you so much for attending
shintonji's testimony on the parables of
the secrets of heaven and their true
meanings seminar
the subject of today's lesson is on the
parable of death and resurrection
elementary lesson 18
at this time
we will find out what the true meaning
of spiritual resurrection is in the
bible
and the faith and resurrection we must
have today
according to the word
i believe that some of the pastors in
attendance at today's seminar know this
while some pastors will not know very
well
i would be grateful if you could listen
carefully to what i am saying according
to the bible today
----------
there are two types of death and
resurrection in the bible the physical
and spiritual
in john chapter 11
about 2 000 years ago
lazarus died physically
and was resurrected through jesus
at that time
death and resurrection
was physical death and resurrection
today in this lesson we will look at
spiritual death and resurrection
explained figuratively through physical
death and resurrection
a person
who is not physically breathing anymore
has physically died
and the place where the dead are buried
is called a tomb
however
if the dead are given life
and they come out from the tomb
it is called
resurrection
today
we will take a look at
the spiritual meaning of breath of life
death
tomb and resurrection
which are compared through these
physical principles
let us first start by looking at the
answer to the parable we are going over
today
first a person has a body
a spirit
and a soul
and within a person
the spirit soul and body
become one
jesus said in matthew chapter 10
verses 28 to 30
do not be afraid of those who kill the
body but cannot kill the spirit or the
soul
therefore
the body can kill
or it can die
however it is only god
who can destroy the spirit correct
the figure of death we are talking about
today
does not refer to a person's flesh that
died
but referring to a person whose spirit
has died
when the spirit dies
the person becomes nothing but an empty
body
in john chapter 6 verse 63.
jesus said
that his words were spirit and they were
life
in john chapter 1 verses 1 to 4
it is written that the word in the
beginning is god
light
and life
those who do not have the word of life
according to the bible
is like a dead person
since they are dead in
spirit the figurative death
refers to the state in which a person
has no word of life
and the parable of resurrection
refers to the resurrection of the spirit
with the word of life
spiritually
it comes from hearing the word of life
which is life
from a place that is like a tomb
that is from an organization of lies
i will explain in detail why such an
answer came about through the word
but first
let's read the parable recorded in john
chapter 5 verse 29
and come out
those who have done good will rise to
live
and those who have done evil or rise to
be condemned
just as we have read in john chapter 5
verse 29
those who have done good will rise to
live
and those who have done evil will rise
to be condemned
what kind of resurrection would you like
to participate in
yes
of course
we want to participate in the
resurrection of life correct
then
we need to know
what is good
and also what is evil
the bible testifies about good and evil
very well
through this seminar
i hope that you will be able to
distinguish good from evil
and participate
in the resurrection of life
in order to understand death
let's first look at the parable of the
breath of life
what do you think is the true meaning of
the breath of life
the figurative breath of life
refers to
the word of life
++++++
Sure, let's dive deeper into each point:
1. **Types of Death and Resurrection**: The Bible talks about two kinds of
death and resurrection. One is physical, like when Lazarus physically died
and was brought back to life by Jesus. The other is spiritual, which we'll
focus on in this lesson.
2. **Physical vs. Spiritual**: Lazarus's story illustrates physical death
and resurrection. However, we're exploring the deeper meaning of spiritual
death and resurrection, which is symbolized by physical events like
Lazarus's resurrection.
3. **Spiritual Death**: When someone experiences spiritual death, it means
their spirit is devoid of life. They may still be physically alive, but
spiritually, they're like an empty shell. This death isn't about the body
but about the lack of spiritual vitality.
4. **Word of Life**: Jesus taught that his words are spirit and life. This
means that the teachings of Jesus and the message of the Bible are not just
words but carry spiritual power and vitality. Without this word of life,
people are spiritually dead, lacking true life and purpose.
5. **Resurrection of Spirit**: The resurrection of the spirit happens when
someone encounters the word of life and it brings them back to spiritual
vitality. This can occur through hearing the word of life from sources that
may initially seem dead or full of falsehoods, symbolized by the tomb.
6. **John 5:29**: This verse describes the ultimate fate of individuals
based on their actions. Those who did good will rise to live, while those
who did evil will rise to be condemned. This highlights the importance of
living a righteous life and doing good deeds.
7. **Understanding Good and Evil**: The Bible provides guidance on
distinguishing between good and evil. By following its teachings and
understanding its principles, individuals can make choices that lead to
spiritual life and participation in the resurrection of life.
8. **Breath of Life**: Figuratively, the breath of life represents the word
of life, which is essential for spiritual vitality and growth. Just as
physical life requires breath, spiritual life requires the word of life to
thrive and flourish.
In summary, the lesson emphasizes the importance of spiritual vitality,
which is achieved through encountering the word of life and making choices
that align with its teachings. This leads to participation in the
resurrection of life and eternal spiritual fulfillment.
+++++++++++++
let's understand why
by looking at the physical
characteristics of breath of
life the breath of life broken down in
chinese characters
are translated as the energy
that gives life
then a person without the breath of life
is a dead person
if it is physical life that gives life
to our bodies
what is the spiritual life
that gives life to our spirit and soul
let's read
john chapter 6
verse 63
the spirit gives life
the flesh counts for nothing
the words i have spoken to you are a
spirit and they are life
yes well read
in john chapter 6 verse 63
jesus said
it is a spirit that gives life
the flesh counts for nothing
the words i have spoken to you are
spirit
and
they are life
therefore
the spiritual breath of life that gives
life to our spirit and soul
is god's word of life
this means listening to the words that
came out of the mouth of jesus
is what will give life to our spirit
let's check a little more through the
words of the bible
in genesis chapter 2 verse 7
it says
and the lord god form man of the dust of
the ground and breathe into his nostrils
the breath of life and the man became a
living soul
it says
if god actually made man
out of literal dust
and breathe into his nostrils with
literal breath
shouldn't it say the man
became
flesh
however in genesis chapter 2 verse 7
it is said that he became a living being
that is his soul
came to life
then we can see that the breath of life
is the energy that gives life to the
spirit not the body
so what is it that gives life to our
spirit
let's read john chapter 1 verses 1 to 4.
in the beginning was the word and the
word was with god
and the word was god
he was with god in the beginning
through him all things were made without
him
looking at the words of john chapter 1
verses 1 to 4.
it is written that the word in the
beginning was god
since the word is god
if the word is with me
then god will be with me correct
it is written also that there is life in
the word
the word then
is like the breath of life that gives
life to our spirit
just as all things are supplied with
life
through the light rain
and air from the heavens
we receive life in our spirit
through the word of god
according to john chapter 17 verse 8
at the first coming
jesus spoke the words he received from
god
and thus
those very words jesus spoke
were like the breath of life that could
save a person's spirit
through whom can we receive this word of
life at the second coming
in revelation chapter 10
there is an appearance of the new john
the overcomer who receives the open
scroll through an angel and eats
it thus at the time of the second coming
the promised shepherd the overcomer
is the one who receives the open scroll
which is like the breath of life and the
word he delivers
will become the breath of life that
saves our spirit
two thousand years ago the disciples
received spiritual breath of life
from the words that came out of the
mouth of jesus and thus their spirits
received life
as such
i hope that all pastors and congregation
members who are listening to the seminar
today
will receive god's spiritual breath of
life
and be with god
through this online seminar
+++++++++++++
Here's a detailed breakdown of the text:
1. **Physical Characteristics of Breath of Life**: In Chinese characters,
the breath of life is translated as the energy that gives life. Without it,
a person is considered dead. But if physical life sustains our bodies, what
sustains our spirit and soul?
2. **Spiritual Life**: According to John 6:63, it's the spirit that gives
life, not the flesh. Jesus' words are spirit and life, meaning that God's
word of life gives life to our spirit and soul. Listening to Jesus'
teachings is what nourishes our spirit.
3. **Genesis 2:7**: When God created man, He breathed into him the breath of
life, and man became a living soul. This indicates that the breath of life
isn't about physical breath but about the energy that enlivens the spirit.
4. **John 1:1-4**: In these verses, it's stated that the Word was with God
and was God. This Word is like the breath of life that gives life to our
spirit. Just as rain and air sustain physical life, the Word of God sustains
spiritual life.
5. **Receiving the Word of Life**: At the first coming, Jesus spoke the
words He received from God, which became the breath of life for the
disciples' spirits. Similarly, at the second coming, the promised shepherd,
the overcomer, will deliver the Word of Life, saving our spirits.
6. **Application to Today**: The seminar aims for pastors and congregation
members to receive God's spiritual breath of life through the Word, just as
the disciples did. This spiritual nourishment will connect them to God and
sustain their spirits.
In summary, the text emphasizes the importance of God's Word as the source
of spiritual life, just as physical breath sustains physical life. By
receiving and internalizing the Word, individuals can nourish their spirits
and be connected to God.
+++++++++++++
secondly
let's look at spiritual death
figuratively expressed through physical
death
physical death
is a death of the body because there is
no physical life within it
there is an old saying
that the dead do not speak
that is correct of course not
not only do the dead not speak
but they have no sense of feeling on
their body and they have no hope
in that way
similarly a person whose spirit is dead
will have no feel or hope in their
hearts
what is the parable of death
the parable of death
is a state in which a person has no word
of life in them
just like a person who does not have
literal life in them
are considered physically dead
those who do not have spiritual breath
of life in them
that is the word
are spiritually dead although their body
is physically
now let's check through the bible let's
read genesis chapter 2
verse 17.
but you must not eat from the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil
for when you eat of it you will surely
die
yes well read
god made a promise to adam
saying
you may eat from any tree in the garden
but you must not eat from the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil in the
middle of the garden
for when you eat of it
you will surely die
however if we look at the words of
genesis chapter 3
verses 1 to 6
we see that eve
ate the fruit of the knowledge of good
and evil through the serpent's deception
and adam also ate the fruit of the
knowledge of good and evil through eve's
deception
although god told adam that he would
surely die
if he ate the fruit of the knowledge of
good and evil
adam did not die
but instead lived a long life until the
age of 930 years
god
clearly said he would surely die
on the day he ate the fruit of the
knowledge of good and evil
but what happened to adam who got a
chance to live up to the age of 930
years
in ezekiel chapter 18 verse 4
it is written that the soul that sins
will die
by breaking the covenant with god
adam became a sinner
and thus
his spirit died isn't that correct
adam was one with a living spirit
created by god's breath of life
and was capable of living eternally
however
he broke the covenant with god
and ate the fruit of the knowledge of
good and evil
as a result of his sin his spirit died
this
is what we call spiritual death
adam's spirit died
and after that
even his body died
i hope we too can use this as a mirror
and a warning for us
so that we can perceive the promises we
must keep
and be able to keep our promises with
god
also in matthew chapter 8 verses 21-22
jesus said that one of his disciples
came to him and asked if he could first
go
and bury his father who had passed
that is when jesus said
let the dead bury their own dead
and you follow me
but how can a dead body bury the dead
who then
are the dead mentioned first
and who are the dead who should be
buried
this was a message that the people of
jerusalem
whose flesh were alive
but their spirits were dead as a result
of them
not having the word
that is like the breath of life
should go and bury the disciples dead
father
someone might misunderstand these words
and think jesus is an ignorant person
with no compassion for the disciples
father
not allowing him to bury his own father
however
we should understand that jesus feared
that the spirit of that disciple
would die after hearing the words of the
people in jerusalem
whose spirits were dead
if we do not understand this parable
we may misunderstand the bible
thus i sincerely hope that all pastors
and congregation members who are
listening to these words
will be able to fully understand this
parable
and the heart of god and jesus
through the seminar
now i will organize the parable of death
just as a body dies
and goes to the grave if there is no
physical life
without spiritual life that is the word
the spirit goes into the spiritual grave
since it is spiritually dead
and according to mark chapter 12 verse
27
it is written that god is not the god of
the dead but the god of the living
so those who are dead in spirit
cannot be considered as god's people
and they will not be able to enter the
kingdom of heaven as a result
shouldn't we then
reflect upon ourselves
in the mirror of the bible to see
whether we are alive
or dead
in the sight of god
i earnestly hope
that all of us can reach the kingdom of
heaven with complete understanding
through the word of god which is like
the breath of life
third
let's look at the meaning of the
spiritual grave figuratively expressed
as a physical grave
first let's look at the characteristics
of tombs
a physical grave or tomb is a place
where a dead body is buried
a spiritual tomb
is a place where the dead spirits are
buried
if a person's spirit does not have the
breath of life that is the word of life
god cannot be with that person
and thus that spirit is considered dead
in the sight of god correct
since a dead spirit is buried within the
body
then isn't that body considered to be
like a grave
in addition an organization of lies in
which people with dead spirits are
gathered can also be called a grave
let's examine through the bible
first let's read romans chapter 3
verse 13.
their throats are open graves
their tongues
practice deceit
the poison of vipers is on their lips
yes
well red
romans chapter 3 verse 13
teaches us that those who do not see god
and do not understand the word
have throats
that are like
open graves
since words of lies come out from the
throats of those who do not understand
the word of life
doesn't that mean they are killing
people's spirits
therefore even though the body might be
alive
god's spirit left those
who do not understand the word of life
and since their spirit dies as a result
their body
becomes a spiritual grave
in order for a body not to become a
spiritual grave
our spirit must become a living spirit
by receiving the word of god
if the spirit of god departs
and the body containing the dead spirit
is like a spiritual grave
then the place where the dead spirits
are gathered
can also be called a grave correct
let's read
matthew chapter 23 verse 27
well to you teachers of the law and
pharisees you hypocrites
you are like whitewashed tombs
which look beautiful on the outside but
on the inside are full of dead men's
bones and everything unclean
in matthew chapter 23
jesus proclaimed woe seven times
and called the hypocritical pharisees
and teachers of the law
whitewashed tombs
the pharisees and teachers of the law
were false shepherds of the devil
and there was no spiritual breath of
life of god's word in them at all
and the jews at the time of the first
coming taught and reared by the
pharisees and the teachers of the law
with the lies of satan
were spiritually dead
it is written in luke chapter 11 44
that pharisees were unmarked graves
in matthew chapter 23 verse 33
jesus said the pharisees and teachers of
the law were brood of vipers they were
snakes
and thus they were the reality of
spiritual tombs who killed the spirits
of the chosen people at the first coming
with lies
that were like poison
even if a church appears to be with god
claiming to believe in god
praying and offering service to god in
its outer appearance
but there is no word of life there
and instead words of lies are spoken
then in reality
that church
is merely like a spiritual tomb full of
dead spirits
shouldn't we know correctly
if whether the place we belong to
is a place with the word of life
or
without
the word of life
if it is a place where words of lies
other than god's words of life are being
taught
we will have to open the grave and come
out from there
through the seminar i sincerely hope
that you will fully understand god's
word of life
belong on the side of god
and participate
in heaven
and eternal life
in summary
just like a physical grave is a place
where the dead are buried
a spiritual grave
is a body where the spirit of god
departed from
and furthermore
it represents an organization of lies in
which dead spirits are buried
+++++++++++
Sure, let's break it down into simple points:
1. **Physical Death vs. Spiritual Death**:
- Physical death is when the body stops functioning.
- Spiritual death is when the spirit lacks life and hope, often
due to not having a connection with God.
2. **Parable of Death**:
- Adam was told he would die if he ate from the forbidden tree.
- Despite eating it, he lived physically for many years.
- However, spiritually, he died because he broke his covenant
with God.
3. **Jesus' Teaching on Death**:
- Jesus told a disciple to let spiritually dead people bury
their physically dead father.
- He meant that those without spiritual life couldn't
understand God's teachings.
4. **Understanding Spiritual Death**:
- Romans 3:13 says those who don't understand God's word have
throats like open graves, spreading lies.
- Matthew 23 compares hypocritical leaders to whitewashed
tombs, looking good outside but spiritually dead inside.
5. **Signs of Spiritual Death**:
- Churches or organizations can seem religious but lack God's
true word, making them spiritual graves.
- It's crucial to discern whether a place teaches God's
life-giving word or spreads lies.
6. **Finding Life**:
- To avoid spiritual death, we must seek places and teachings
filled with God's life-giving word.
- Understanding and following God's word leads to eternal life
and belonging in heaven.
++++++++++++
next let's look at the fourth parable
the figurative resurrection
but first
let's take a look at the meaning and the
different types of resurrection
resurrection means
to live again
in the bible there are two types of
resurrection
there is physical resurrection in which
a dead body physically resurrects
but there is also spiritual resurrection
in which the body is alive but the dead
spirit within them is raised
about 2000 years ago jesus came as the
son of god
and performed many miracles
one of them
was a miracle of physically resurrecting
lazarus from death to life
in john chapter 11.
however
what we are going to look into today is
not
about physical resurrection but a
spiritual resurrection
reorganizing what we learned earlier
will help in easily understanding the
meaning of spiritual resurrection
the figure of death
means the death of a person's spirit
without
the breath of life that is the word of
life
what is the true meaning of spiritual
resurrection
figuratively represented by physical
resurrection
yes
it is when the body and the spirit come
to life again in other words
it is when the spirit comes back to life
by the word of life
and
just like a physical grave opens
for the physical body to come to life
in the same way
spiritual resurrection is coming out of
a spiritual grave that is an
organization of lies
let us examine this through the bible
god prophesied in the old and new
testaments that a spiritual resurrection
would occur
let's look at the prophecies of the old
testament
according to the words recorded in
ezekiel chapter 37 verses 1 to 14
god showed ezekiel a vision
where there was a valley full of bones
let's read from ezekiel chapter 37
verses 1 to 6
the hand of the lord was upon me
and he brought me out by the spirit of
the lord
and set me in the middle of a valley
it was full of bones
he led me back and forth among them
and i saw a great many bones on the
floor of the valley
bones that were very dry
he asked me son of man can these bones
live
prophesy to these bones and say to them
dry bones hear the word of the lord
this is what the sovereign lord says
to these bones
i will make breath enter you
and you will come to life
i will attach tendons to you and make
flesh come upon you
and cover you with skin
i
the words of ezekiel chapter 37.
were prophecies recorded through the
prophet ezekiel about 2
600 years ago
that fulfilled about 600 years later
after it was recorded at the first
coming of jesus
in verses 1 to 10
it is written that the spirit of the
lord came upon ezekiel
and he placed ezekiel in the middle of
the valley
where there were many bones that were
very dry
the many bones in the middle of the
valley
means
there were many dead within the graves
god called ezekiel the son of man
and told him to prophesy the breath of
life into them
ezekiel prophesied to the breath
and the breath of life entered into them
and they came to
life and according to verses 11 2 14
these bones represented the whole house
of israel
wouldn't it have been a terrible event
if literally all the people of israel
became bones at the time of first coming
when ezekiel's prophecy is fulfilled
and these bones say that their bones are
dry and they have no
hope if this was literal
how could these bones speak
the book of ezekiel is a book of
prophecies
and as we all already know
the book of prophecies are written
in parables
in other words
these bones are not referring to dead
bodies
but the spiritually dead
and bringing to life their dead spirits
by prophesying the breath of life
that is god's words of life to these
bones
let's summarize the content of ezekiel
chapter 37 with some visuals
in ezekiel chapter 37
we see that the middle of the valley
is full of bones
this place can be considered a tome
full of bones correct
then god called ezekiel the son of man
and had him prophesy the breath of life
and they came to life
open their tombs came out
and entered the land of israel
this is a resurrection from death to
life
this prophecy in the book of ezekiel was
fulfilled at the first coming of jesus
about 600 years later after it was
recorded
let's read john chapter 5 verses 24 to
29
i tell you the truth whoever hears my
word and believes him who sent me
has eternal life and will not be
condemned
he has crossed over from death to life
i tell you the truth a time is coming
and has now come when the dead will hear
the voice of the son of god and those
who hear will live
for as the father has life in himself
so he has granted the son to have life
in himself and he has given him
authority to judge because he is a son
of man do not be amazed by this for time
is coming when all who are in their
graves will hear his voice and come out
those who have done good will rise to
live and those who have done evil will
rise to be condemned
yes well read
in john chapter 5 verse 25
jesus said a time is coming and has now
come
when the dead will hear the voice of the
son of god and those who hear will live
at that time who were the dead
who heard the words of jesus
the son of god
verse 28 says that a time is coming
when all who are in their graves will
hear his voice
so did jesus testify to the word
in a cemetery 2000 years ago
no
it was the jews hearing jesus
who are considered spiritually dead
just like it is written those who hear
the voice of the son of god will come to
life
it was their spirits that came to life
again
after hearing the words of god testified
to by jesus
which is like the breath of life
according to matthew chapter 23 verse 2
it is written that the pharisees and
teachers of the law were sitting in
moses's seat
since the teachers of the law and
pharisees
who were false shepherds
were in charge of judaism
all the spirits of the israelites at the
first coming died
because of the lies of the teachers of
the law
and the pharisees
therefore wouldn't this organization of
the teachers of the law and the
pharisees be the reality of tombs at the
first coming
on the other hand
god prophesied the words of life
that is like the breath of life
through jesus
at the time of first coming
wouldn't those who perceive the word
through jesus
like the 12 disciples
come out of the organization of the
pharisees and sadducees
which was like a tomb and come to jesus
this
is spiritual resurrection
coming out of the tomb from death to
life
furthermore
all of israel coming out of the tomb and
entering israel
is not referring to the newly created
spiritual israel made up of jesus and
his disciples
but
physical israel right
at the time of first coming in order to
receive life
and for the spirit to live they had to
come to jesus
that is how the prophecies of ezekiel 37
fulfilled
just as there were people who received
resurrection of life like this 2000
years ago
shouldn't we who are living in the era
of the second coming today
also participate in the resurrection of
life
then let's look into the resurrection at
the second coming
in revelation 18
verses 2-3
it is written that all nations are
destroyed by the maddening wine of
adulteries of babylon the kingdom of
demons
the wine of adulteries coming from
babylon
is referring to satan's lies preached by
false shepherds
as a result the chosen people are killed
and therefore
babylon is considered a spiritual grave
where dead spirits are gathered
this is spiritual babylon
a place parable similar to the babylon
in the old testament times
and jesus calls out to god's people from
the spiritual grave
telling them to come out from there
let's read revelation chapter 18
verse 4
then i heard another voice from heaven
saying
my people
so that you will not share inner sense
so that you will not receive any of our
plagues
yes
well read
in revelation chapter 18 verse 4
jesus calls out
if someone hears the words of god
and comes out of a spiritual grave an
organization of lies like babylon
wouldn't this be considered
the work of resurrection today
also in revelation chapter 17 verse 14.
it is written that those who are with
jesus are his called chosen
and faithful followers
that means
they will come out of their spiritual
graves and be with jesus as those
resurrected right
where then
do we go today after coming out of
spiritual babylon that is like a tomb
and through whom can we receive the word
of life today
in revelation chapter 22 verse 16
jesus said
i have sent my messenger
to give you this testimony
for the churches
the things mentioned here
are the revealed words
that clearly makes known the reality
to the fulfilled prophecies
of revelation
today
jesus chooses a messenger of jesus
to testify to jesus's own words
therefore
today we can see that jesus's messenger
who speaks on behalf
is the one who testifies to the words of
life which is the breath of life
also in revelation chapter 10
it is recorded that john will receive
and eat the revelation from heaven and
prophesy again
to many peoples nations languages and
kings
the john mentioned here
is not referring to the literal apostle
john who recorded the book of revelation
2000 years ago
but it is referring to a person parable
that is a shepherd
who appears today
when this prophecy is fulfilled
shouldn't we come to a place
where the revealed word
that is the words of life the breath of
life is testified to through the
promised shepherd
today in the midst of the fall of all
nations with babylon's wine of
adulterers
that is through the lies testified to by
false shepherds
if jesus delivers the word of life
through a messenger who will speak on
behalf
then coming out of the spiritual tomb of
lies
and going to the place where the truth
is
is resurrecting
from death to life
through the seminar i hope that you will
fully perceive
the words of life
the breath of life
and become believers who participate in
the resurrection of life

Let's simplify the points:
1. **Resurrection Defined**:
- Resurrection means coming back to life.
- There are two types: physical (body coming back to life) and spiritual (spirit coming back to life).
2. **Focus on Spiritual Resurrection**:
- Jesus performed physical resurrections, but we'll focus on spiritual resurrection, where the spirit is revived.
3. **Ezekiel's Prophecy**:
- Ezekiel saw a vision of dry bones in a valley.
- God told him to prophesy to them, and they came back to life.
- This symbolized Israel's spiritual revival through God's word.
4. **Jesus' Teaching**:
- Jesus said those who hear his word will come back to life.
- This doesn't mean physically dead people, but spiritually dead ones, like the Jews who rejected Jesus.
5. **Pharisees as Tombs**:
- Pharisees and teachers of the law spread lies, making them like spiritual tombs.
- Jesus' teachings brought spiritual life to those who followed him.
6. **Second Coming Resurrection**:
- In Revelation, Babylon symbolizes lies and spiritual death.
- Jesus calls people to come out of this spiritual grave and follow him.
- Today, Jesus sends messengers to testify to his words, bringing spiritual life to believers.
7. **Finding Spiritual Life**:
- To experience spiritual resurrection, we must listen to Jesus' words through his messengers.
- This leads us out of spiritual death and into spiritual life, participating in the resurrection of life.

i'll wrap things up today
the parable of breath of life
is the word of life
the parable of death
refers to the condition of not having
the word of life
the parable of grave
is the organization of lies
and the parable of resurrection
the nations will fall from babylon's
wine of adulteries which refer to lies
they are spiritually killed
by satan's false shepherds and are
imprisoned in babylon
or spiritually a tomb
we must perceive the reality of the tomb
through the prophecies of the new
testament
and come out from there
to the place where the promised shepherd
testifies to the breath of life
the words of the open book
in revelation chapter 10.
this
is resurrection from death to life
we who are living at the time of the
second coming of christ
must perceive all the secrets of heaven
this is because if we do not understand
the secrets of heaven we will not be
able to go to heaven
today is the era
when all the parables are being clearly
testified to just as jesus promised
the reason we can testify to this
clearly
is because what was spoken in parables
has now appeared as a reality
then next time
we will talk about the parable of groom
bride
widow and the fatherless in the parable
elementary series lesson 19.
the instructor who will give you the
next lecture is a very special person
who is more funny
and makes it easier to understand than
myself
we hope to hear from you next time
i hope today
was a time
you received much grace and
understanding through the words of god
and jesus
all of us are one
in god and jesus
let's shout together that we are one
we are one
let us pray
holy and exalted father god the source
of life and blessings
i sincerely thank you for being with me

on the parables of the secrets of heaven
and their true meanings seminar
today was a time to understand the
figure of meaning of death and
resurrection
i believe that the word you have given
is life and grace to our souls
please be with all the hearts who are in
attendance
we believe this is truly the time
to resurrect to life through the word of
life
please grant us grace so we can all
participate
in the resurrection of life by helping
us to understand the word with earnest
hurt every day

us with strength in spirit and body
until the time we meet again
