View All Things on Reduced and Magnified Scales, and Testify

Main Scriptures :
Luke 24:47-48 “This is what is written: …and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.”
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 4:19-20 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

Hallelujah!

On the Lord’s Day of this week, I delivered the Word with the theme, “You must act in advance to be perfect. You must act in advance so you will not suffer harm or the pains of hell.”

Today, I will deliver God’s marvelous Word on the theme,
“View all things on reduced and magnified scales, and testify.”
I pray that everyone will elevate their level and the level of their thoughts through this Word.

◎ If you see or think [of something] by scaling it down, you quickly understand it. If you look at the large original version in its full scale, it is hard to understand and too big for you to see. If you draw the large thing on a smaller scale and look at it, as you have a full view of the big thing, you see that it is wondrous and beautiful. Its image and form are wondrous and profound only when the whole thing comes into full view.

◯ The universe and all things in heaven and earth cannot be seen beyond the limits of [people’s] eyes and minds. Because people see them partially, they are partially wondrous and beautiful.

For example, if you look at the human body in part, only that single part you are looking at seems wondrous and profound. If you look at the whole body, [however,] it is dozens of times more wondrous and profound.
No matter how beautiful a face is, if you only look at the ears, the eyes, the mouth, the nose, or the facial shape, it does not look beautiful, pretty, or wondrous. You must look at the whole face to find it wondrous, profound, and beautiful. Therefore, you must view the whole.

For Wolmyeongdong as well, if you look at just a single rock, tree, mountain, pool of water, plaza, or house, that single thing you see is wondrous and profound in itself. If you look at the entirety, [however,] the overall image and form are beautiful, profound, peculiar, and majestic. Only then can you see the profundity and beauty of what God has created.

◯ Likewise, with the works that God has done, you should not look at just one thing. You should broadly think and view how He has worked upon you, your nation, the world, and Providence. Only then will you come to know how wondrous, profound, and grand it is. You must see what God has done for you every day, what He has done for Providence, and what He has done for your nation and the entire world.

◯ When you view it, you need to connect it to the model figure who is the standard. If you do, you will realize that everything has been carried out by the same God. If it had been done by someone else, it would not be connected to the works God did. It would be different.
Providence is God’s thousand-year history. Because God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and Jesus have worked through the Man of Mission of the time period, all things are connected.

◯ If you look at what God is doing around the whole world on a reduced scale as well as on an enlarged scale, you can see everything.
God is wondrous and profound.

At each time, God does His work while appointing the ruler of a nation and appointing leaders of the world as well. It is different from our thoughts. I encourage you to look at the events of the entire world, too.

You need to look at them while thinking of the entirety—what God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son have done for you, and what They have done for Providence, the nation, and the world.

◯ When the time comes, [God] works fully upon the nation and the world through the standard figure. Please reflect on what He has done until now. A large thing is fully visible if you look at it by reducing it, and a small thing is fully visible if you look at it by magnifying it. You must view it by reducing and enlarging its scale. Only then can you understand.

◯ Before leaving, Jesus taught me by drawing a reduction-and-magnification chart for me, and departed. At that time, Jesus said, “Draw it exactly as I have drawn.” This meant, “Carry out history just as I act.”
You, too, must do things just as I, Seonsang, do.

◯ The more a person does [something], the more they get to do it, and their skills improve. The more you think, the bigger your thoughts become.
Because people do not think, their thoughts become smaller, and their level lowers.
The more you exercise, the more you get to exercise, your muscles are built, and you become capable. With work, too, the more you do it, the more skill you develop, and the better you perform.

Life of faith is the same. If you do not act, there is nothing to see. [It] grows smaller and ultimately disappears. Those who do not perform the works of faith have a low-level faith, and their [own] level is low as well. Therefore, it is about doing more each day.

All things in all situations become grander, more beautiful, and more intriguing when you do them more. It is the same with faith and any other things. You gain more as you do more.

◯ If you think you have done a lot, you will stop.
If God tells people to do a lot at once, they would be startled and unable to do it due to a lack of confidence; therefore, He lets people do [things] little by little over a long time. That way, they can complete [things] by working whenever they have strength. If a great task is given all at once, they would be surprised and could not do it due to a lack of confidence, so He gives [work] little by little. That is why great work is carried out over the course of years or decades.

For the work of Providence as well, God gives it anew each year. He has given work of faith in Providence history little by little each day for the [last] half a century. That is why we have been able to do the work.

You must know the way God does things. It is wondrous and profound. God is indeed the Source of wisdom.

◯ There is still a lot of work to do. What we have done until now is completing the work needed to be done at that time in the past. In the days ahead, too, we have a great amount of work to do just as we have done until now. In the immediate presence, we have work to do right now. We must hurry and do it quickly.

◯ You should work in an orderly fashion according to the missions given to you respectively. You need to study your own mission.

◎ When giving revelations, too, God works showing things, in parables, sometimes on a reduced scale and sometimes on a magnified scale. And He helps humans realize this and put it into practice. God gives revelations even regarding the great events that will happen to the nation and the world by showing them on a reduced scale. He reveals them through creation as well. God shows everything in detail by reducing its scale.

◯ When giving revelations, God and the Holy Spirit always say, “It is like this.” “It is” reveals the actual event that will happen, and “like this” refers to what happened before. You need to understand [this].

A foolish person centers only on what precedes. What precedes is like John the Baptist. The preceding story is physical; it is a testimony like being John the Baptist. What follows is a revelation concerning the actual event that will happen—the true core matter.

◯ The former faith viewed “like this” as the core and placed their hope in it. God said, “Just as the physical body of Jesus came and worked at the First Coming, at the Second Coming, the spirit of Jesus comes and works through a worthy physical body while being united with that body.”
This was the secret of Heaven.

Also, [God] said, in parable, that when Jesus returns, he will burn and incinerate falsehoods and untruths by the Word—that is, the fire of truth—just like incinerating [things] with fire.

In this way, what precedes is always testimony at the level of John the Baptist.

◯ Those who viewed the witness as the owner failed. Since the mission of being the witness was given to the person and so she testified, they followed her. Those who followed the witness failed immediately. You must follow the One whom the witness testified about.

◯ Witnesses must always testify. If witnesses do not testify, they themselves will die.

Testimony should be always about God and the Holy Spirit.
That is what Jesus did as well.
Witnesses who testify about themselves disappear like melting snow.
If witnesses glorify themselves, they will be imprisoned and die like John the Baptist.

Only with truthful testimony will there be resurrection.* When you testify truthfully, power goes forth, and the Holy Spirit is with you. You must learn testimony and testify wisely and competently. Only when you, witnesses, testify with your individuality can you overcome both satans and the wicked.
{Translation note: The subject that resurrects is not indicated.}

◯ Since all of you are witnesses, you must testify every day. Only if you testify will you grow, mature, and be transformed through that.
No matter how much you testify about yourself, only your physical nature and ignorance come out. You will see only negative reactions from people.

◯ A witness must testify only about the One sent by God. Testifying about him is the way you [can] testify about God. This is because he testifies only about God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and Jesus who sent him. The Witness sent by God testifies about the work of this era’s history that God carries out.

It is to testify on reduced and magnified scales. What God fulfilled through him is the work [that he] did with God and the Holy Spirit. So he testifies. In fact, his testimony is testimony about God.

◯ Why should [you] testify? Because the one who was awaited has come, [we who] have waited testify [now]. Because you do not testify, you are defeated, and they become enemies and harm [you]. They unite with Satan and advance to attack you.

Testimony is an atomic bomb and a ballistic missile.
You must testify, saying, “Even though your deeds may seem to be for God, in reality, you are blaspheming God.”

◯ Those who are self-conscious in their hearts are fearful, so they cannot testify about God to the world. It is to make your heart firm every moment and do it. As for beasts, you can discern and separate them as you continue to testify.

◯ What you have seen and heard belongs to God. Therefore, the more you testify continually, the greater your testimony and the power of your testimony become. If you do not testify, God will not give you a mission or a blessing. You must become a wise and capable person in testimony.

◯ The blessing of testimony is so great in Providence. When [ I ] testified even while being disheartened, what [ I ] had prayed for over decades was fulfilled.
Those whose faith has not grown are [that way] because they have not testified.
Please look at the past. The destiny of the person who testified but later turned bad changed immediately, didn’t it?

◯ Testimony is iron armor and a state-of-the-art weapon on the spiritual battlefield of Armageddon. If you testify, satans, the wicked, and doubters all surrender.
If you testify, the one you testify about, God, and the Holy Spirit will work powerfully, thus not leave satans and the wicked alone.

◯ God said to Ezekiel, “If you do not testify crying out and running, you will suffer their woe yourself.”

(Ezekiel 3:18) “When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.”

If testimony is given, God divides Cains and Abels.
Look at history.
God has divided Cains and Abels by sending the model figure of the time period.
Do you not know this? You must have a broad view.
Why do you not know even though it has been done?

Must not those who were born in the era of knowing testify to those born in the era of not knowing? Wasn’t it said that even if you have starved for 70 days, people would not know it unless you tell them?
Testimony is this: “those who know tell others.”

◯ You must testify on a reduced scale as well as on a magnified scale.
I, Seonsang, have been testifying to you that the thousand-year history has come.
You, too, must testify to the world.
Since I testified even while suffering, God said, “Wherever you go, you have fulfilled My, God’s, great Will through testimony.”

◯ Those who have seen and heard the work that God carried out must tell [people about it].
Those who have not even heard it do not know. Because they do not know, they are waiting in the vast wilderness.

This era is the history that God is making after 6,000 years.
Once the time passes, you will not be able to do it. You ought to hurry and do it.
You must testify in order to meet the ones you should meet. If you do not testify, [they] become lives that disappear into death.

◯ God does not forgive anyone who does not testify, who stop testifying after a time, or who turns to testifying about themselves, and He separates and sorts them out.

Satan and people of the flesh treat witnesses as enemies, but the fire of the Word of testimony comes down from the heavens and burns them.
When Elijah testified about God, God descended and destroyed the wicked.

It is the same position,* the same action, the same principle, and the same result. Those who belong to the same domain are under the same control and act in the same way.
{Translation note: 자세 may be translated as “position, attitude, or posture.”}

◯ “Testify” means “Tell them. Take Action.”
Actions are also testimony.
If you do not speak, only you know, and others will never know for the rest of their lives.
If they act the way they do out of ignorance because you did not tell them what you were supposed to tell them, then the responsibility lies with you who did not tell them.

◯ Your leg hurts because there is something wrong with it.
As the nerves feel it and convey it, you sense it and act [accordingly]. Likewise, you should react like the nerves and take action.
Dead nerves cannot function. If a person becomes dead, they will be buried.
Everyone should realize this, react to this message, and become those who testify.

I bid you the peace of the Holy Spirit’s love.
