[Lesson 3] The Logic of Betrayal, Destruction, and Salvation of the Chosen People

Isaiah 1:1 to 2:4 and 2 Thessalonians 2

Our goal is to understand the order of betrayal, destruction, and salvation of the chosen people, as depicted in these passages, and apply these insights to our current faith communities.

Main Reference: Isaiah 1:1-2:4

Isaiah Chapter 1: A Prophecy of Betrayal and Rebellion

Isaiah 1 begins with a vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem. It highlights the moral and spiritual decline of the people, symbolized by their rebellion against God despite being chosen and nurtured by Him.

Isaiah 1:2-4 (NIV):

This passage sets the stage for understanding how God's chosen people have turned away from Him, leading to severe consequences. This rebellion is not just a historical account but a mirror reflecting the current state of our faith communities. Are we, like Israel, failing to recognize and honor our Master?

Isaiah Chapter 2: A Vision of Redemption and Peace

In contrast, Isaiah 2:1-4 offers a vision of hope and restoration. This prophecy speaks to both the first and the second coming of Christ, indicating a future where God's kingdom is established, and true peace prevails.

Isaiah 2:2-4 (NIV):

This vision portrays the ultimate redemption and peace that God promises, a stark contrast to the destruction prophesied in Isaiah 1. This duality serves as a powerful reminder of the choices before us: rebellion leading to destruction or repentance leading to peace.

New Testament Reference: 2 Thessalonians 2

The Great Apostasy and the Man of Lawlessness

In 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul warns about the events preceding the second coming of Christ, including a great apostasy and the revelation of the "man of lawlessness."

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NIV):

This passage echoes the themes of betrayal and rebellion found in Isaiah. It warns believers to stay vigilant and faithful, recognizing the signs of the times and remaining steadfast in their faith.

Summary

Today's lecture examines Isaiah 1:1 to 2:4 and 2 Thessalonians 2, focusing on the themes of betrayal, destruction, and salvation of God's chosen people. Isaiah 1 highlights the rebellion and moral decline of Israel, serving as a reflection of the current state of faith communities. Isaiah 2 offers a vision of redemption and peace, applicable to both the first and second comings of Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2 warns of a great apostasy and the revelation of the "man of lawlessness" before Christ's return, urging vigilance and faithfulness. By comparing these scriptures with our present faith practices, we are called to self-reflection, repentance, and renewed commitment to God's will.

Analysis of Isaiah 1:1-4

Introduction to Isaiah

Isaiah 1:1 introduces the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, and specifies the time period during which he prophesied—during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. This provides historical context, dating the book of Isaiah to approximately 2,700 years ago. The mention of Isaiah's lineage emphasizes his legitimacy and authority as a prophet.

Understanding the Vision

Isaiah's message is described as a "vision," indicating that it contains spiritual revelations and future events rather than a mere record of contemporary occurrences. The entire book of Isaiah, from chapters 1 to 66, is based on these prophetic visions, not the literal reality of the time.

Historical and Spiritual Context

State of Faith in Judah and Jerusalem:

The spiritual state of Judah and Jerusalem during Isaiah’s time was one of significant decline. The narrative begins with a historical reference to King Solomon’s sin in 1 Kings 11, where Solomon worshipped foreign gods, violating the first commandment: "You shall have no other gods before me." This act of betrayal set a precedent for the nation’s unfaithfulness.

Hosea 6:7 further illustrates this betrayal, comparing the people's broken covenant to that of Adam’s original sin. Due to this widespread infidelity, the northern kingdom of Israel (comprising 11 tribes) faced destruction by the Assyrians, and the southern kingdom of Judah was similarly threatened.

Isaiah 1:2-4 – The Rebellion of Israel

These verses depict God's lament over Israel’s rebellion. Despite being nurtured and cared for by God, the people of Israel have turned away from Him. The comparison to an ox and a donkey, which recognize their owner and manger, underscores Israel's profound ignorance and ingratitude.

God calls Israel a "sinful nation," "a brood of evildoers," and "children given to corruption," highlighting their moral and spiritual decay. They have abandoned the Lord, rejected the Holy One of Israel, and have turned their backs on Him. This stark portrayal emphasizes the severity of their rebellion and the ensuing consequences.

Summary

Isaiah 1:1-4 sets the stage for understanding the deep spiritual and moral decline of Judah and Jerusalem during Isaiah's time. The prophet Isaiah, recognized through his lineage and the historical context of his prophecy, delivers a vision concerning future events and spiritual truths. The initial verses of Isaiah depict Israel's profound rebellion against God, despite His continual care and guidance. This message serves as a warning and a call to reflection for contemporary faith communities, urging believers to examine their faithfulness and alignment with God's will.

Introduction:

Isaiah 1:1 introduces the prophet Isaiah and the time during which he received his visions. These visions are addressed to the spiritual heavens and earth, referring to the spirits and people, not the literal heavens and earth. God is calling both the spiritual and physical realms to witness the disobedience of His chosen people, Judah and Jerusalem.

Betrayal and Spiritual Decline

Verses 2-4:

Isaiah 1:2-4 (NIV):

Spiritual Heavens and Earth:

God commands the spiritual realms (heavens) and the people (earth) to listen. This highlights the seriousness of the message and the universal witness to the people's rebellion.

Rebellion and Ignorance:

The people of Israel, despite being raised and nurtured by God, have turned against Him. This is contrasted with animals like the ox and donkey, which recognize their owners, underscoring Israel's profound ignorance and disobedience.

Moral and Spiritual Corruption:

God condemns Israel as a "sinful nation," loaded with guilt and corruption. Their betrayal is characterized by their abandonment of God and rejection of His holiness.

Historical and Prophetic Context

Judaism at the Time of the First Coming:

This passage reflects the corrupt state of Judaism around 700 years after Isaiah's prophecy, particularly during Jesus' time. In John 8, Jesus disputes with the Jews over the Mosaic Law versus His teachings, highlighting their spiritual blindness and rebellion against God.

Comparison to Contemporary Faith Communities:

Today, similar disputes can be seen between different Christian denominations. For instance, Shincheonji claims to fulfill Revelation, contrasting with Protestant teachings. This suggests ongoing spiritual conflicts and the need for humility and openness to God's word.

Metaphorical and Prophetic Insights

Isaiah 5:1-2 – The Vineyard:

God planted choicest vines (the people of Judah) expecting righteousness (good fruit), but they yielded unrighteousness (bad fruit). This metaphor illustrates the moral decline and failure to live up to God's expectations.

John 1:11 – Jesus Rejected:

Jesus came to His own people, but they did not receive Him, exemplifying their corruption and failure to recognize God's work. Their rejection and persecution of Jesus were acts of profound injustice and unrighteousness.

Contemporary Parallels

Revelation's Fulfillment:

In the current era, the prophecy in Revelation speaks of the church of the seven stars and seven golden lampstands, initially chosen by God but later betraying Him by engaging with Satan’s influences, as described in Revelation 2-3. This mirrors the betrayal of Judah in Isaiah's time.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3:

Paul's letter describes the sequence of betrayal, destruction, and salvation, warning of a great apostasy before the Lord's return, similar to the events described in Isaiah.

Conclusion

Isaiah 1:1-4 serves as a poignant reminder of the chosen people's betrayal and spiritual decline. It urges reflection on our own faith communities, calling us to recognize and correct our spiritual failings. By examining historical and contemporary parallels, we are reminded to humble ourselves and seek alignment with God's will, learning from past mistakes to avoid repeating them.

1. When does the book of Isaiah fulfills?

-the book of Isaiah is seen as fulfilling in the last days, which are understood not as the final days of the world, but rather as the last days of the religious world. These last days involve events such as betrayal, destruction, and salvation, leading to the establishment of God's new kingdom, Mount Zion. This interpretation suggests that the prophecies in Isaiah find their fulfillment in the events surrounding the establishment of this new spiritual kingdom.

2. What is the condition of God’s Chosen people?

- the condition of God's chosen people is one of betrayal, corruption, and spiritual downfall. They are described as having forsaken God, engaged in idolatry, committed adultery with the spirit of Satan, and become one with the gentiles, ultimately facing judgment and destruction. The chosen people are depicted as rebellious, lovers of money, and neglectful of their duties to defend the cause of the powerless and the weak. Their spiritual state is characterized by impurity, falsehoods, and a departure from the Word of God.

3. Why were the prayers and burnt offerings of God’s Chosen people were not accepted by God?

-The prayers and burnt offerings of God's chosen people were not accepted by God because they had become corrupted in their faith and had forsaken the true worship of God. Despite their outward acts of worship, they were engaged in idolatry, adultery, and rebellion against God's commandments. Their offerings had become meaningless and detestable to God because they were mixed with the ways of the world and lacked sincerity and purity of heart. Additionally, they failed to seek justice, defend the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and live according to God's will. As a result, God could not accept their worship and prayers.

4. What happens to those who Betrayed?

- At the time of First Coming :At the time of the First Coming, those who betrayed God's word, including the religious leaders like the Pharisees and the scribes, faced judgment and destruction. They rejected Jesus and persecuted Him, ultimately leading to His crucifixion. Similarly, those who betrayed God's word in that era faced spiritual consequences, symbolized by the destruction of Jerusalem and the dispersion of the Jewish people.

- At the time of Second Coming :At the time of the Second Coming, as described in the provided text, those who betray God's word are also judged and face destruction. They align themselves with the gentiles and receive the mark of the beast, symbolizing their departure from God's truth. Consequently, they are condemned to punishment, just like those who betrayed during the First Coming.

5. Who were the few survivors?

- At the time of First Coming :At the time of the First Coming, the few survivors were individuals like Jesus and His disciples who remained faithful to God's word despite the corruption and betrayal among the religious leaders and the broader community. They upheld the integrity and purity of their faith amidst the challenges of the time.

- At the time of Second Coming :Second Coming, the few survivors are those who remain steadfast in their faith despite the prevailing corruption and betrayal within the religious community. These individuals maintain their allegiance to God's truth and refuse to align themselves with the gentiles or the betrayers. They are symbolized as the "small remaining seed of salvation" and are instrumental in the establishment of God's new kingdom, Mount Zion.

6. Mention the order of Betrayal, Destruction and Salvation:

- At First coming:

Betrayal: The religious leaders, including the Pharisees and scribes, betrayed Jesus, leading to His crucifixion. This betrayal culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.

Destruction: Jerusalem and its temple were destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD as a consequence of the betrayal and rejection of Jesus by the religious authorities.

Salvation: Despite the destruction, there were individuals, such as Jesus' disciples, who remained faithful and were ultimately instrumental in spreading the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

- At Second Coming:

Betrayal: There is a betrayal by religious leaders and their followers, symbolized in Revelation as the betrayal of the Church of the Seven Golden Lampstands. This betrayal involves departing from the true faith and aligning with worldly powers.

Destruction: This betrayal leads to judgment and destruction, symbolized by events such as the pouring out of God's wrath and the rise of the Beast. The destroyers, including false religious systems, face divine judgment.

Salvation: Amidst the destruction, there is salvation for those who remain faithful to God's word and refuse to succumb to the pressures of betrayal. These faithful believers are symbolized as the harvested wheat, sealed by God, and gathered to Mount Zion, representing the establishment of God's new kingdom.

7. Why the few survivors are very important?

- The few survivors are crucial for preserving faith, bearing witness to truth, facilitating redemption, igniting revival, and fulfilling God's plan amidst betrayal, destruction, and salvation.

8. Why does God calls his chosen people as “Spiritual Murderer”? (Mention the reference verse)

- God calls his chosen people "spiritual murderers" because hating a brother is considered murder in God's eyes, particularly when it leads to persecution and the destruction of another's faith (1 John 3:15).

9. Today from where should we come out from and where should we go to?

- We should come out from the locations of betrayal and destruction and go to Mount Zion, which is the place of salvation where the harvest and sealing of the chosen people occur.

10. What should be our HOPE today?

- Our hope today should be to become part of God's new kingdom, Mount Zion, where we receive blessings of heaven and eternal life through the harvest and sealing of the chosen people after the events of betrayal and destruction.

What did you realized from this session?

-From this session, I realized the importance of understanding the order of betrayal, destruction, and salvation outlined in the Bible, especially in the context of God's chosen people. It's crucial to discern the signs of the times and strive to be among the few survivors who remain faithful to God amidst spiritual turmoil. Additionally, I learned about the significance of Mount Zion as a symbol of God's new kingdom, where true believers are harvested and sealed for salvation.

hello pastors seminarians and saints from all over the world who wish for heaven and eternal life 

i am the head of the collegiate church of busan james tribe of shinchanji church 

of jesus christ 

thank you very much for attending the xinjiang online seminar testimony on the revelation of the old and new testaments 

by chapter the word you will observe with me today is intermediate lesson 3 the order of 

betrayal destruction and salvation of the chosen people the main reference will be isaiah 

chapter 1 verse 1 to chapter 2 verse 4 as well as 2 thessalonians chapter 2 in 

the new testament the pastors who are watching now have 

read the bible a lot so some of you may know well about the order of betrayal destruction and 

salvation of the chosen people and some may not 

but i hope that you will listen to my lecture today and find out the answer to god's will

(1:29) 

first let me share with you why we are examining this main reference passage 

the main reference isaiah chapter 1 is a prophecy of the old testament it is an 

event that is fulfilled at the first coming of jesus approximately 700 years after it was prophesied 

except in isaiah chapter 2 verses 1 through 4 it records the events that not only fulfilled in the first coming but 

will also fulfill at the second coming the reason we are looking at isaiah 

chapter 1 which was fulfilled at the time of jesus's first coming is to compare it with the current state of our 

faith world and to use it as an example for the believers today 

so while you listen to this lesson i hope that you can compare it with the state of the current churches 

jesus said that this time of the second coming will be the end of the world 

he was referring to the end of the religious world though not the entire world in general 

the reason the world comes to an end is probably because there is something wrong in this world in front of god's 

eyes from the words about the jews showing 

their lack of faith from the main reference i hope that you bring questions as isn't this what our denomination and church 

look like today do i not have anything more lacking than these jews 

and through the comparisons i hope that you will have a precious time to have a conversation with god 

through the word and to be renewed then let's read isaiah chapter 1 verse 1 

together this is the vision concerning judah and

1.(3:15)

jerusalem i will read the vision concerning judah and jerusalem that isaiah son of amos saw 

during the reigns of uzziah jotham ahaz and hezekiah kings of judah 

amen we will examine about the writer isaiah the location of the events and even the 

word vision we'll take a look at this one by one first the writer is said to be the 

prophet isaiah the son of amos 

the reason why it is mentioned whose son this writer is is to make a clear statement about the 

writer the recorder the prophet isaiah additionally since isaiah is a person 

from the time of the kings of judah usa jotham ahaz and hezekiah we are able to 

know that this book of isaiah was recorded approximately 2 700 years ago 

and if we ask what is recorded here in one word it'll be regarding the vision 

it is a vision concerning judah and jerusalem 

when we say that it's a vision it is not a record of the reality or the actual entities of that time but it is 

something spiritual and it records the future events 

and you must remember that the contents of isaiah chapters 1 through 66 

were not the reality for that time and that up to chapter 66 was recorded 

after seeing the vision 

next let's take a look at the state of faith of judah and jerusalem 

(5:00)

if we look at the state of faith of judah and jerusalem when the book of isaiah was recorded 

in first kings chapter 11 it says king solomon committed a sin before god 

because he had worshipped gentile gods because king solomon had sinned before 

god the whole nation of israel had sinned before god 

in the first commandment of the law god had said you shall not worship any other gods 

and so serving gentile gods was an act of betrayal in regards to this hosea chapter 6 verse 

7 tells us that these people have broken the covenant like adam 

and as a result of this the 11 tribes of the north became destroyed by the assyrians 

and the tribe of judah also gets destroyed afterwards the book of isaiah had recorded that 

even the last remaining tribe of judah will be destroyed by the gentiles 

now let's read isaiah chapter 1 verses 2 through 4. 

here oh heavens listen o earth for the lord has spoken 

i reared children and brought them up but they have rebelled against me 

the ox knows his master the donkey his owner's manger but israel does not know my people do 

not understand a sinful nation a people loaded with guilt a brood of 

evildoers children given to corruption they have forsaken the lord they have 

spurned the holy one of israel and turned their backs on him

(6:54)

yes the words up to verse 4 is about the betrayal of the chosen people who were 

reared by god as they had broken the covenant first it is said hear o heaven and 

listen o earth the physical heavens and earth cannot 

hear the word of god and so it is referring to the spiritual heavens and earth 

so heaven refers to the spirits in the heavenly spiritual realm and the earth refers to the people made 

out of dust that is the flesh it is god who commands them to listen 

and those who need to listen are the spirits of heaven and the people of this world 

what content did god want them to listen to god was telling them to hear about the 

jews that is the people of the tribe of judah who had disobeyed god and did not 

know about god 

in a bit more detail the content is about the corrupt status of judaism at the time of the first 

coming which is about 700 years after the prophecies were recorded 

in order to see how the reference verses took place at the time of the first coming when we look at the contents of 

john chapter 8 we can confirm that there was a dispute between jesus and the jews 

what was the reason for this dispute when jesus came at the time of the first 

coming he had spoken about the free law the jews on the other hand had insisted 

on the mosaic law because they had different arguments 

there was a dispute between them but wasn't jesus the one whom god was 

together with so the fact that the jews had a conflict 

with jesus who had served god meant that they had rebelled against god which in 

other words was an act of betrayal when we look at the dispute that happens 

today between shinchanji and the protestant churches shinshanji preaches the testimony of the 

prophecy and fulfillment of revelation which is the word of revelation that has fulfilled within the new testament 

and the protestant churches preach the elementary teachings of christ only thus we can see that there is a dispute 

due to the difference that each side claims and preaches however regardless of the time whether 

it's the first coming or the second coming we need to put down our own claims and perspectives by lowering 

ourselves and becoming more humble in front of the words of the bible and to have the mind to learn the word of 

revelation that has been opened for the time we must make sure to keep this in mind 

let's continue now on to verse 4. he calls these people as a sinful nation

(9:59)

a people loaded with guilt and children given to corruption in order to understand this in detail we 

will look at isaiah chapter 5 verses 1 and 2. god says that he planted choicest vines 

to good care of them and look for a crop of good 

this is not referring to the physical trees in isaiah chapter 5 verse 7 it said that 

the trees are the men of judah it means that god had wanted the people 

of judah who were like trees that they would act righteously which in other words is like yielding good fruits 

if the opposite of good fruits are the bad grapes bad fruits then bearing these bad grapes 

means to have committed acts of unrighteousness in other words evil acts or sins 

to understand this better let's see what it says in john chapter one verse eleven 

it says that jesus came to his own to his own land or people but the jews did not receive him and 

rather they had persecuted him the jews believed in the promises of the 

old testament had waited for god to come and waited for the messiah to appear 

but because they did not know the promises made through the old testament prophets 

they had persecuted the work of jesus and ultimately that even crucified jesus 

as well receiving jesus 

was doing the work of righteousness wasn't it therefore not receiving jesus but 

instead persecuting him that was an act of injustice and the words of the reference 

that say that they were the children given to corruption had been fulfilled a similar event happens in today's time 

as well when the time comes for the fulfillment of revelation the church of the seven stars and seven

(12:16)

golden lamb stands appears as in revelation chapter 1 verse 20 and there will be pastors and people of that 

church of the seven stars and seven golden lampstands since it is said that they had worked in 

the right hand of jesus the pastors and people of this church of the seven stars seven golden lampstands are the chosen 

people at the time of revelations fulfillment 

these people however also end up betraying god just like the people of the tribe of judah

 (12:48)

as we see in revelation chapters 2 and 3 the nicolaitans of satan appear so the 

work of betrayal happens and the pastors and people of this place eat the food sacrifice to idols and commit adultery 

with the spirit of satan in regards to the events of betrayal 

destruction and salvation of the chosen people that have been fulfilled today there is a record of this in 2 

thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1 to 3 within the new testament for this we 

will examine further when we go over isaiah chapter 2. now let's continue to read verses 5 

through 7. why should you be beaten anymore 

why do you persist in rebellion your whole head is injured your whole heart 

afflicted from the soul of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness only wounds and 

welts and open sores not cleansed or bandaged or sued with oil 

your country is desolate your city's burned with fire your fields are being stripped by 

foreigners right before you laid waste as when overthrown by strangers

3.(14:04)

yes the words up to verse 7 is about the destruction of the chosen people by the gentiles 

as it says why should you be beaten anymore we can see that god is judging the 

chosen people who had rebelled or betrayed what is god's rod that punishes the 

rebellious chosen people if you look at isaiah chapter 10 verse 5 

it says that god takes the assyrians as his rod from which we can tell that when god 

judges the rebellious chosen people he judges them using the gentiles 

then looking at the words of verse 7 it says that your country is desolate

(14:52) 

your city is burned with fire and your fields are being stripped by the gentiles 

it makes it known that the chosen people have become completely destroyed 

if we take this word and go to the time of the first coming the chosen people who betrayed and were 

destroyed by the gentiles at that time were the pastors and people of jerusalem 

and the gentiles who destroyed the people of jerusalem the chosen people who had betrayed these gentiles were the 

pastors of the serpent the pharisees and the scribes in matthew chapter 23 verse 37 

jesus had longed to gather the people of jerusalem so much 

but the people of jerusalem did not come out to jesus 

and they were spiritually killed by satan's pastors the pharisees and the scribes just as in the words of matthew 

chapter 23 verse 27 

such an event would be the event in which the chosen people who betrayed the word of god were destroyed by the 

gentiles we can see from revelation chapter 6 and 

revelation chapter 13 that the same event of destruction that occurred in this main reference also happens today 

the pastors and people of the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands which we had seen earlier 

receive the teachings of the nicolaitans commit sexual immorality with the spirit of satan and eat the food sacrificed to 

idols at this time jesus selects one person 

the advocate or the messenger to send the letters telling these people who had betrayed to repent 

however even after receiving the letters they do not repent and those who do not repent will be 

judged in revelation chapter 6 and will fall from the heavens to the earth and they will be thrown out 

and they will be thrown out to the caves to the mountains and the rocks of the gentiles 

those who became part of the gentiles will receive the 666 the mark of the beast 

just as it is stated in revelation 13. 

and it is written that they will become the possession of satan and they will be destroyed such content is spiritually the same 

today as the events when the pastors and the people of jerusalem were destroyed by the pharisees and the scribes the 

pastors of the serpent at the time of the first coming then in verses 8 and 9 it says that 

there are a few remaining seeds a small number of believers who do not perish even during this time of 

destruction but they keep themselves pure within their life of faith let's read verses 8 and 9 together 

the daughter of zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard like a hut in a field of melons like a city under siege 

unless the lord almighty had left us some survivors we would have become like sodom we would 

have been like gomorrah yes so verses 8 and 9 talk about some 

survivors the little remaining seed of salvation as it is said that the daughter of zion 

is left like a city under siege and also from the words that god has left us some 

survivors we can see that god had left 

and he had preserved a small number of believers who kept their faith within the midst of destruction 

jesus who overcame with the word of truth within the corrupt world of judaism is a small remaining seed 

and so are the disciples who had believed in jesus and came to jesus from judaism at that time 

this same event as a reference chapter also exists within the book of revelation 

in revelation chapter 6 the sun moon and stars darken and fall and this is a time 

of destruction where the chosen people enter into the caves mountains and rocks of the gentiles 

this is in revelation chapter six verse six a quarter of wheat and three quarts of barley that is referenced 

these people become the small remaining seed of salvation at the lord's second coming 

if there were no such small remaining seed as we had seen in verse 9 it says that we would have become like sodom and 

gomorrah from here we must understand that in each and every era of the bible when the 

world of faith becomes corrupted through the few believers who keep the integrity 

and the purity of their faith that the work of salvation can take place today as well 

through the believers who are like a quart of wheat and three quarts of barley the work of salvation that has never 

happened before in the past 6 000 years will fulfill as seen in revelation chapters 7 and 14 

and this is through the work of the creation of the 12 tribes through the work of harvest and sailing 

our chairman the promised pastor or shepherd who received the word of revelation of the fulfillment of the new 

testament is actively testifying this to the entire world 

everyone who is attending today please confirm and verify for yourselves that 

this is the work of recreation that is being fulfilled today with the few remaining believers of revelation 6. 

next let's read verses 10-15 hear the word of the lord you rulers of 

sodom listen to the law of our god you people of gomorrah 

the multitude of your sacrifices what are they to me says the lord 

i have more than enough burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened animals 

i have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats 

who has asked this of you this trampling of my courts stop bringing meaningless offerings 

your incense is detestable to me moons sabbaths and convocations i cannot 

bear your evil assemblies your new moon festivals and your appointed beasts my soul hates 

they have become a burden to me i am weary of bearing 

[Music] 

your hands are full of blood the words up to verse 15 are saying 

that god will not receive the worship and the prayers of the chosen people who are betrayed 

the reason the people of the tribe of judah are called as the rulers of sodom and the people of gomorrah 

is because a chosen people became one with the gentiles and became the same gentiles themselves 

therefore god says that he is not pleased with the offerings given by those who became one with the gentiles 

and he also tells them to stop bringing meaningless offerings 

god also says that he cannot bear the new moons and the sabbaths and the convocations either 

the new moons and the sabbaths are gatherings to offer sacrifices to god 

and in today's words it is gathering to worship god 

however it is saying that god does not accept the worship and even the sacrifices of 

the rebellious chosen people who have become one with the gentiles and have become the gentiles themselves 

and in verse 15 it says that their hands are full of blood and that god will not hear the prayers 

of those who have blood on them 

the same content as this is in revelation 18 verse 24 as well 

it is said that the blood of all the martyrs was found in the city of babylon 

to say that their hands are full of blood refers to the fact that they have committed murder 

what kind of murder is this in first john chapter 3 verse 15 it says 

that hating a brother is also murder 

in the religious world hatred is in other words persecution 

so if a person causes religious hatred and persecutes people because of 

different denominations and different doctrines then this is considered a spiritual 

murder in god's eyes such persecution and hatred kills a 

person's spirit and faith and it can even lead to physical murder 

as well wasn't jesus also hated and persecuted 

by the rebellious jews and wasn't he ultimately crucified as well 

not only this but also in john chapter 16 verses 1 to 2 jesus said to his disciples 

all this i have told you so that you will not go astray and he said anyone who kills you will 

think that he is offering a service to god and this was for the second coming as well 

as these people are those who offer a service to god it means that the believers of god would be doing such 

things today the traditional protestants in korea have persecuted shinshan ji and 

the promised pastor or shepherd and labeled it as heretics and as a result four shinsenji members 

were killed by severe persecution and by coercive conversion 

the prophecies of persecution as seen in john chapter 16 are also in matthew 

chapters 10 and 25. if the words that prophesy the reality 

of today's world of faith are recorded in this new testament 

then we must enter the bible and look at ourselves to see if we are the people who are 

persecuted those who even love our enemies or if we are those who hated and 

persecuted our brothers or even belong to the denomination that persecutes others we must discern through the bible 

and repent of our shortcomings and live a life of faith that corrects them in hosea chapter 6 verse 6 god said that 

he wanted us to know him rather than offering the burnt offerings and sacrifices 

this seminar let us make sure that we clearly understand what god's will is 

and walk a faith life that is according to the word let's continue reading verses 16-20 

and make yourselves clean take your evil deeds out of my sight 

stop doing wrong learn to do right seek justice 

encourage the oppressed defend the cause of the fatherless plead the case of the widow 

come now let us reason together says the lord though your sins are like scarlet they 

shall be as white as snow though they are read as crimson they shall be like woe 

if you are willing and obedient you will eat from the best of the land but if you resist and rebel 

you will be devoured by the sword for the mouth of the lord has spoken 

yes up to verse 20 are god's words that call for the repentance of the chosen 

people who are betrayed they are the words that command them to wash make themselves clean to take the 

evil deeds out and to stop doing wrong and this is a call for repentance 

and when he says to learn to do what is right and to seek justice it means to live a life of faith within 

the word of god the widows and the orphans are also 

mentioned here of course there are physical widows and orphans 

but these here are the spiritual widows and the orphans spiritual widows refer to the pastor who 

has betrayed from whom the spirit has departed and the spiritual orphans refer to the members of the pastor from whom 

the spirit has departed when we examine verses 18 to 20 now 

god does not wish to deliver only judgment but he wished to communicate with the 

chosen people that had betrayed he says that if they will communicate 

if they will reason that even though their sins are like scarlet they will become as white as wool and as white as 

snow the will of god in this is that through the communication god wishes to give the 

forgiveness of sins and he wishes to give salvation one must come before the word of god and 

communicate with god to receive healing to be renewed and to be born again as a 

true believer 

and that now is the blessed time where we are able to communicate with god 

in verse 19 it is said that if we obey and come to the word to communicate that 

we will receive the blessings and in the words of verse 20 it says 

that if we refuse to do so that will be devoured by the sword meaning that we will be judged by god's word 

let's now read verses 21 to 23. 

see how the faithful city has become a harlot she once was full of justice 

righteousness used to dwell in her but now murderers your silver has become dross 

your choice wine is diluted with water your rulers are rebels companions of 

thieves they all love bribes and chase after gifts they do not defend the cause of the 

fatherless the widow's case does not come before them 

yes the words up to verse 23 tells us the reality of the faithful city 

it says that they have become a harlot and that there are only murderers there 

this harlot here is a spiritual harlot who commits adultery with the spirit of satan and has received satan's seed 

and as for the murderer of course there is physical murder too but as we had stated earlier the one who 

hates and persecutes their brother is also a spiritual murderer 

and it is said that their silver has become dross and their choice wine is diluted with water 

this means that the word of god was mixed with the words of the world and so their preaching has become falsehood and 

lies when we hear these words we need to think deeply about 

whether the lectures and sermons of our denomination and our church are with a 

perfect truth or if they are the words of god mixed with the words of the world 

and these rulers refer to the leaders meaning pastors 

it means that the pastors of jerusalem are rebellious becoming companions of thieves and that they love bribes and 

chase after gifts meaning that they have become the lovers of money 

leaders who are supposed to lead the people became even more rebellious in their faith 

and while they should be working for the powerless and the weak they do not do that but they are only filling their own 

self-interests this is the reality of the corrupted faith of those who have departed from 

god and from his word even today 

it is said that there are spiritual murderers magic arts sexual immorality and thefts 

as shown in revelation chapter 9 verse 21 

but it says that people do not repent even if they were told about this 

the book of revelation is especially about today's world of faith so we must examine our own faith by 

using these words as examples and warnings 

now let's continue and read verses 24 through 27 

therefore the lord the lord almighty the mighty one of israel declares 

uh i will get relief from my foes and avenge myself on my enemies 

i will turn my hand against you i will thoroughly purge away your drops 

and remove all your impurities i will restore your judges as in the 

days of old your counselors as at the beginning afterward you will be called the city of 

righteousness sion will be redeemed 

are about the judgment of the destroyers and the penitent ones who have returned to righteousness god promises to avenge 

himself on his foes and on his enemies therefore these are the words about the 

judgment of the destroyers and at the time of this judgment on the destroyers 

god is saying that among the people of god who are captured by the destroyers if anyone hears the words of god and 

comes out to him again that their trust and impurities will be removed 

that he will cleanse the sins and the filth that are inside of his people 

and in verse 26 it is said that god will restore the people to their original 

state and it is said that zion will be redeemed with justice and are penitent 

ones with righteousness in zechariah 

so it means that god's people who return at the time of judgment will be redeemed justly and that they will be saved 

but even at this time of judgment upon the destroyers there are those who do not repent until the end who are they 

and what will happen to them let's read verses 28 through 31 

but rebels and sinners will both be broken and those who forsake the lord will 

perish you will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted 

you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen 

you will be like an oak with fading leaves like a garden without water 

the mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark both will burn together with no one to 

quench the fire the words up to verse 31 are about the 

consequences of those who do not repent until the end when god judges the destroyers and even when he 

it is said that all rebels sinners and those who forsake god will perish 

also the oak trees and the chosen gardens are mentioned as well the oak tree that the chosen people who 

betrayed have chosen after forsaking god refers to a false pastor who is a 

destroyer like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the garden that the betrayers chose 

is a gentile nation the church of the destroyers it is said that they will be disgraced 

because of this and it means that god's chosen people who had forsaken god and 

chosen the gentile nation would result in eternal disgrace and judgment 

and when it is described as an oak with fading leaves 

he was saying that the spirit of the chosen people who betrayed would die like an oak with fading leaves that is a 

dead tree and also that their tabernacle would be destroyed like a garden without water 

it is also said that both the chosen people who betrayed and the destroyers would receive the eternal judgment of 

fire which is the word of god and that no one would be able to put it 

out in this way 

in isaiah chapter 1 there were the records about the betrayal and destruction of the chosen 

people the judgment of the destroyers and zion the people of god who are 

redeemed with justice then what happens to god's people who are being saved like this 

let's read isaiah chapter 2 verses 

this is what isaiah son of amos saw concerning judah and jerusalem 

in the last days the mountain of the lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains 

it will be raised above the hills and all nations will stream to it many peoples will come and say 

come let us go up to the mountain of the lord to the house 

[Music] 

the words up to verse 3 is about the place where all nations will come and learn 

isaiah chapter 2 verse 1 also mentions judah and jerusalem 

judah and jerusalem in isaiah chapter 1 verse 1 refer to the chosen people who betrayed 

and judah in jerusalem in isaiah chapter 2 verse 1 is the recreated chosen people after the 

betrayal and destruction they are god's new kingdom and new people 

and in verse 2 it speaks about the last days and the mountain of the lord's temple 

the last days does not refer to the last days of the world but the last days of the religious 

world and the mountain of the lord's temple is a spiritual mountain of zion which refers to god's temple 

and in verse 3 the mountain of the lord appears and its name 

according to the fact that the word of god comes out from this mount zion we can see god who is the word is together 

in this zion in zechariah 3 

it also 

in isaiah 60 14. 

of the holy one of israel so the one who is chosen by god the 

promised pastor or shepherd becomes a 

if we go to the first coming and examine this zion jesus who came as a light and was also 

with god he was a zion of the first coming 

and at the first coming the organization made up of the saints who belonged to jesus were also mount zion 

now let's take a look at the reality of mount zion that is established in the last days through the prophecies of the 

new testament let's read the words of 2 thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1 through 3. 

concerning the coming of our lord jesus christ and our being gathered to him 

we ask you brothers not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy 

report or letter supposed to have come from us saying that the day of the lord has 

already come don't let anyone deceive you in any way for that day will not come until the 

rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed the man doomed to destruction yes 

as you have read in the words of 2 thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1 to 3 

it reveals that there will be the work of betrayal destruction and salvation at the second coming of the lord just like 

it was written in the book of isaiah then let's take a look at this work of betrayal destruction and salvation from 

the prophecies of the four gospels of the new testament 

in matthew 24 verses 15 to 16 it says that when the abomination that 

causes desolation stands in the holy place those who can read should flee to the 

mountains in matthew 13 verses 24 to 30 

and in verses 36 to 43 jesus speaks about the sowing of two kinds of seeds and the time of the 

harvest he says that when the harvest time comes 

those born of god's seed among the two seeds they are the sons of heaven who will be harvested and go to the kingdom of god 

this kingdom of god where these harvested fruits are gathered is the mount zion mentioned in isaiah chapter 2 

in today's reference chapter as well as in revelation chapter 14. 

now let's check the order of how this mount zion is established through the words of the book of revelation 

as seen in isaiah chapter one earlier in revelation chapters one two and three 

there are the pastors and the members of the church of the seven stars and seven golden lampstands 

in revelation chapters two and three it says that they had eaten the food sacrificed to idols committed adultery 

with the spirit of satan and betrayed therefore the betrayers at the time of 

revelations fulfillment are the pastors and the members of the church of the seven golden lampstands 

in the end as in revelation chapter 6 and 13 they are judged by god and are 

completely destroyed by the destroyers the gentiles 

at this time the destroyer that destroys the church of the seven golden lampstands is the beast with seven heads 

and ten horns of babylon mentioned in revelation chapters 13 17 and 18. 

in this way when the events of betrayal and destruction appear 

just as stated in revelation chapter 14 verses 14 to 16 the harvesting angels 

harvest the wheat like believers from the location of betrayal and destruction 

to mount zion in revelation chapter 14. 

on this mount zion there is a throne of god there is jesus the lamb and the 

ripened and harvested first fruits 

it is said that the names of god and jesus are written on the foreheads of these first fruits 

they are those who are sealed by god's seal in revelation chapter 7 

the 12 tribes of the new spiritual israel the kingdom and the priests of god 

the most important thing is that these people of the 12 tribes who are harvested and sealed in 

revelation chapter 7 and 14 are the sons of the kingdom mentioned in 

matthew 13 the reality of those who are harvested they are the people who receive 

salvation and inherit heaven and eternal life at this time on the other hand 

the chosen people who betrayed who were driven out by the gentiles and received the mark of the beast in revelation 

chapter 6 and 13 did not believe the word or reality even after seeing the events of destruction 

nor did they flee to the mountain nor were they harvested therefore they get completely destroyed 

by the beast and will be punished in the lake of burning sulfur in hell this is the result of those who were not 

able to be harvested finally let's read the words of isaiah 

chapter 2 verse he will 4. between the nations and will 

settle disputes for many peoples they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning 

hooks nation will not take up sword against nation 

[Music] 

it talks about beating the spears into pruning hooks meaning that wars will cease and peace will be established 

it says that nation will not take up sword against nation nor will they train for war 

anymore in the words of isaiah chapter 52 verse 7 he also promised a world of peace where 

wars have ended and a world in which god will reign over all things 

in regards to this joyous time in revelation chapter 21 it says that god will return to the new 

heaven and new earth [Music] it promises that god who is life will 

return and would bring about a world of peace and eternal life without death or pain 

or war as said in verse 4 

we have the promised pastor a shepherd who has fought and overcome the group of the dragon as in revelation chapter 12 

and receive all the 12 blessings promised in revelation chapters 2 and 3. 

and we the 12 tribes are the realities of the first fruits that were harvested 

from the field of jesus and belonged to the 12 tribes of god 

has done the work of peace while traveling around the world 31 times as a messenger of peace to achieve this world 

of peace without war as in isaiah chapter 2 verse 4. 

he held many discussion forums comparing the scriptures of each religion so that all religions can be united in one under 

the best scripture and he presented practical answers that can be implemented to the world in order to 

achieve a world of peace without war in this global village tainted with conflict 

these are a few examples of the various peace works that he is doing now let's summarize the key points of 

today's lecture through isaiah and 2 thessalonians chapter 2 

we have seen the order of betrayal destruction and salvation to create god's new kingdom mount zion which will 

stand in the last days and this new kingdom of god mount zion 

does not just come to be but according to the process in the bible it is created through the ripened 

fruits of the seed that jesus had sown in his first coming and the people who are harvested and 

sealed after the events of betrayal and destruction today 

and this mount zion that is created is a new spiritual israel in revelation chapter 7. it must have the 12 tribes 

these are the decisive evidence points that can testify to mount zion 

any place cannot just become mount zion but it must appear after the events of betrayal and destruction 

it must also be created through the harvest and ceiling and it must have the organization of the 

twelve tribes in order for it to be mount zion that is promised in the bible 

today at the time of the fulfillment of the book of revelation this event of salvation has been 

fulfilled in korea with the overcomer and the 12 tribes of shinchanji so you must all confirm it with the 

bible and become the blessed believers who receive the blessings of heaven and eternal life 

next time a lecturer who is more skilled than i will come and testify of the word 

under the title the sealed book and the revelation of the old testament and the new testament 

i hope that you will attend and have a precious time to receive grace and to perceive 

i will shout we are one with the meaning that we are now one in god and in jesus 

and then we will pray afterwards in god and in jesus we are one 

we are one we will end here and offer up a praise 

our most holy father god to whom we are thankful we are truly grateful to you for 

allowing us to hold the shinchanji online seminar on the testimony on the revelation of the old and new testaments 

by chapter and to have this throughout the entire world father god please remember the many 

pastors seminarians and saints who attended this event and please keep them 

in your heart today we have taken a look at intermediate lesson 3 the order of 

betrayal destruction and salvation of the chosen people please allow all people who received the 

testimony of this word to understand the location where betrayal and destruction happens today 

with a location of salvation where the harvest and sealed people is the place 

recreated after 6 000 years allow all of us to partake in your new 

kingdom and be blessed believers through your guidance father god 

we ask you to protect the spiritual and physical health of all of those who have attended 

continue to look over each of our circumstances so that we can attend the next session as well and be joyous in 

the word of truth and to be able to receive grace we pray all these words with faith in 

the name of jesus who atoned us of our sins amen
