16. Covenants given to the overcomer (4)

Last time, we learned that the hidden manna is living water and that the new name written on the white stone is the word of God. This time, we will discuss the fourth covenant.

After the overcomer completes his mission, Jesus said he will give him authority over all nations. (Revelation 2:26-27)

This, as we have seen, is the same as the authority promised to the "one like a son of man."
In the book of Daniel, "the one like a son of man" was led to "the Ancient of Days" and was given authority over all nations. (Daniel 7:13-14)
This is the same authority the overcomer receives from Jesus in the book of Revelation.
As we have seen, since "the Ancient of Days" is Jesus, "the one like a son of man" is then the "overcomer" of Revelation.
And since the mission of the “one like a son of man” is to harvest, we can know that the mission of the “overcomer” is also to harvest. (Revelation 14:14)
Therefore, when the overcomer completes the harvest, Jesus will give him authority over all nations. (Revelation 2:26-27)

In addition, the authority is what Jesus also received from God.
Therefore, the authority over all nations has been given by God to Jesus, and Jesus will give it to him who overcomes if he completes his mission.

This time, we looked at the authority over the nations promised to the overcomer. Next time, we will discuss the fifth covenant.

[God's Providence]30. Is the Armageddon War undergone on earth?

-
30. Is the Armageddon War undergone on earth? Last time, I mentioned that the second olive tree is the President of Holy Eden Church, Lee Young-soo. This time, let's talk about the Armageddon war. From now on, let me talk about some misunderstandings of the Bible. Many say the Armageddon war is a third world war that will break out in Israel. But That is a misunderstanding. Armageddon is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew word “Har Megiddo,” or Mount Megiddo. Mount Megiddo is in northern Israel. Since there had been many wars in this place in the past, God symbolically referred to the war with the Devil in the spirit world as the war of Armageddon. The Armageddon War is a war to catch the Devil and throw it into the lake of fire. Since the devil is spirit, this war is a war between spirits. First, three evil spirits will come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, and they will

What God Wants

1. Abraham’s Question and God’s Answer 2. Symbol of 7,000 years’ work, the History of Israel 3. Number of Heaven, 3    a. Abraham and God    b. Isaac and Jesus    c. Jacob and Olive Tree 4. Number of Earth, 4 5. War of Canaan and War of Armageddon   God’s ultimate goal working with mankind is to capture Satan and throw him into the lake of fire. (Revelations 20:10) To achieve his aim God needs army to fight against devils. Most of the members of the army are martyrs produced in the Old and New Testament eras. They are called the wife of the Lamb Jesus, and their names are recorded in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelations 21:9, 27)   God started his work with mankind from Cain and Abel 6,000 years ago, but his people didn’t follow his will. God renewed his work 4,000 years ago choosing Abraham. At that time God had plan to send his son, Jesus, as Abraham’s descendant.   Abraham was called by God in Haran at 75. (Genesis 12:1) God directed him to go to Can

The Providence of God

-
1. The history of Israel shows God's Providence. 2.  God's Providence consists of 3+4=7. 3.   The 3 means the history of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 4. Abraham is the symbol of God, Isaac Jesus, and Jacob the second olive tree. (John the baptist was the one who prepared the way for Jesus, and the first olive tree is the one who sows seeds for the second. Refer to  The Story of the Three Figures ) 5.  The 4 means the four generations, 400 years, in which the twelve tribes of Israel were raised in Egypt. The 12 comes from 3 times 4. They were God's army who fought against the Canaanites, and the symbol of the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel to fight against the army of the Devil in the future. 6.  Jacob gave births to the 12 sons, which was the symbol for the second olive tree to complete the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel. Each tribe consists of 12,000 and all of them are 144,000. They are God's army, the crop harvested. (Refer to  The Army of Heaven )

The First Resurrection and the Second Death

-
The Bible says there are the First Resurrection and the Second Death. What do these mean?   1. The First Death   At first, the Bible calls the death of flesh “to sleep”.   Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. ( Dan.12:2)   After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."  His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better."  Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. ( John11:11-13)   The death God had said doesn’t mean the death of flesh.  It indicates being forsaken by God.  Adam committed sin and was thrown out by God, which is the First Death.  All his descendants are among the death.  Thus Jesus called people the dead.   Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father.&qu

God’s work after Jesus

-
Which era is it now?   With Jesus’ coming, Judaism was over and post-Judaism era, the era of Christianity began.  Now it is 2,000 years after Jesus’ time.  And is it still the era of Christianity?   God told Moses to call him “the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” (Exodus 3:15)  The number 3 in God’s work has an important meaning related to God’s will.  Abraham is the symbol of Jehovah God.  Isaac is the symbol of Jesus.  Jacob is the symbol of Olive Tree.  Please refer the article below related to it. What God Wants   God’s Providence is to produce the soldiers of heaven, the 144,000, during 6,000 years.  In the process, God chose Abraham 4,000 years ago and started the work of Israel.  However Israel was divided to Northern Israel and Southern Judah due to Solomon’s sin, and Northern Israel was destroyed by Assyria because of their sin, and Southern Judah also by Babylon because of their sin.  Afterwards God let Judah come back after destroyi

The Kingdom of Heaven and Hell

-
Generally Christians think those saved go to the kingdom of heaven after life, and sinners, hell.  But where the dead go is not the kingdom of heaven or hell but Hades.  The kingdom of heaven and hell will be created after judgment.  Let see what Hades, the kingdom of heaven, and hell are.   1. Hades   People mostly confuse hell with Hades.  However Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire which is known as hell, so we can know Hades is not hell.   Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. ( Rev.20:14)   The Greek “Hades” is a translation of the Hebrew “Sheol” and the meaning of it is grave.  After death, flesh goes to grave and spirit is dragged into the spiritual world, Hades.  The Bible says that as Hades follows behind Death.   I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. ( Rev.6:8)   Therefore the dead will come out from Hades after

Has Christianity been completed?

-
1. Jesus received God’s book 2. Incomplete Christianity 3. Why is the book of Revelation so difficult? 4. Who is the one who overcomes? 1. Jesus received God’s book   After Jesus took his cross and was resurrected and taken up to heaven, he received a book from God. (Revelations 5:7)  The book was sealed with seven seals not to be looked into by anyone. (Revelations 5:3)  Jesus could look into the book because he had accomplished his mission to take the cross. (Revelations 5:5)  Therefore we can know he did not look into the book formerly.  Jesus was before the Creation, and he also participated in the Creation with God. (John 17:5, 1:3)  However God had secrets hidden to Jesus.   Jesus said he did not know all of God’s plan. (Matthew 24:36)  Nevertheless he thought he would come again back then. (Matthew 24:34)  But it’s not accomplished.  Jesus has not come yet until now.  That’s because God’s will was not so.   After Jesus received God’s book, he got to know al
