Although the Good Time Period Comes, [Only] Those Who Have Taken Action On Time Receive It

Main Scriptures:
Matthew 2:6 But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.

Hallelujah!

Today, I will deliver the Word with the theme, “Although the good time period comes, [only] those who have taken action on time receive it.”
I will first point out five key points for you.

1. Those who take action at the appointed time in a way fitting the time
   receive the good era when it arrives.
2. Ultimately, each individual ought to live their own life. Therefore, do not follow the crowd here and there and grow only within the crowd. Everyone must learn the Word of the times perfectly and in detail and live according to that Word even when alone.
3. The new history has been carried out by those born in the new era, by people in their youth, until now. [People of] the old history do not follow the new era, so they remain belonging to the old era and do not know that the sun of the old era is setting.
4. The wicked and the deceitful* will never prevail no matter how much they try. Since clean-up judgment is what God must render, He Himself cleanses away all untruth and evil. He cleanses religions, societies, nations, and the world alike. The missions of the witnesses of this era, too, came to an end because they failed to testify properly. John the Baptist came to an end after testifying [only] briefly because he did not properly know. It is the same in this era.
   {Translation note: Alternatively, “evil and falsehood”}
5. The wicked say that the righteous are judged, but on the contrary, the wicked suffer from the torment that stems from the evil [deeds] they committed themselves. God judges evil. If you look at the religious history that God has made on earth, [you see that] it was always the wicked that provoked the righteous first. So the righteous prayed more, and afterward God judged the wicked. From the historical standpoint, have you not witnessed that all evil in nations and the world is eventually exposed?

I will deliver these five points as the core, so please listen to the message keeping this core in mind.

◎ God said, “Whether it is an individual or a religion, if they only now realize that the new era has arrived and begin receiving it, they cannot receive it.”
God has already been carrying out the new history for the past 50 years. Therefore, when a better time comes, [people of] Providence who have already received the new era in their daily lives will be the ones who enter the new time.

Suppose the former faith realizes at last that the new era has come. Still, the new history cannot be made there. This is because they do not have time to fulfill the new history. This is why one must receive it at the right time.

◯ God does the things
that are to be done anew when a better era comes along with the time,*
and He does that new work
in Providence that has already been making new history.
{Translation note: “When a better era comes along with the time” modifies “to be done.”}

Even though a good age of using new AI has arrived,
it is the companies that have already been developing cutting-edge technology that accept and utilize this new development called AI far more effectively.

God said, “My, God’s, history of the times also is made only where it has already been taking place. A history cannot take place by just a day or two days of making. Providence has acted according to My will for [the last] 50 years thereby becoming its own history.* When the greatest, best time comes, too, the owner will emerge from [this] 1,000-year history. Those who have already been carrying out the 1,000-year history will become the owners of the better time and carry out [the history].”
{Translation note: Literally, “a history.” In this context, history refers to a “grand, developing actualization of God’s will on earth (over a period of time),” not “a present narration of past events.”}

◯ However, [the people of] the old times do not know this. In the Old Testament era, they rejected Jesus, saying, “Who dares to stand beside God?” In this age, people say, “Who dares to stand beside Jesus?” They do not know that Jesus has come again in spirit and he makes the 1,000-year history by using a person of this era.

◯ In the past as well, people always claimed that they themselves were carrying out God’s history. In Jesus’ time, the Old Testament people of the old era cried, “We already believe in God. Who else should we believe in? We are living, absolutely believing in God already,” and they all disbelieved the new era. God came as it had been promised in the Old Testament and worked through Jesus’ body. He carried out the history of the new times only in one place centered on Jesus. Except for the New Testament history that centered on Jesus, everything else was the history of the old times.

◯ The New Testament believers, Christians, said, “We already believe in Jesus the Messiah, so who else should we believe in?” When people who lack knowledge hear it, they think, “That is right.” With that, they wait for Jesus’ body, asserting that Jesus in his physical body from the New Testament [time] will return just as he was.

That is not true. Jesus’ spirit comes with God, uses a chosen person, and carries out the 1,000-year history. Therefore, you must take action following the model figure who is in the flesh, whom Jesus uses. Only then can the hope of the New Testament be fulfilled, and you will participate in the 1,000-year wedding banquet as brides.

◯ Those who wait interpret the Bible in their own way and say, “We believe in Jesus, so whom else should we believe in?” They do not realize that the Jesus they believe in has already returned. No matter how fervently a person believes in Jesus, they must believe in Jesus who has returned in spirit in order to fulfill their hope, put on the transformation of the new era, and become a bride.

◯ In this time period as well, everyone claims that they are carrying out the history of the new times. [However,] if you check the teachings of such newly emerging religions, they are not words of the new era, but words of waiting for the new era. Solely Providence is the 1,000-year history of the age of brides. Providence alone receives the one who has been awaited and advances holding the wedding banquet of faith.

The Word of Providence is entirely a language of the new times; it is the Word of the new era. As for other religious entities, even if they may realize that God has begun the 1,000-year history, they cannot carry out the new history. Aside from Providence, [other entities] have neither the Word of the new era nor the one sent by [God]. Therefore, they do not know how to [carry out the new history]. Not only that, their leaders have grown old, nearing 100 years of age, so they cannot work anymore.

◯ Providence history is the one that God started. God launched His new history, without delaying even a single second. It has already been 50 years.

◯ If it is God’s true history, the one sent by God must come at the right time.

• The one sent by God in the new times starts [exactly] on time, receives the baton of the previous history, and runs. Jesus handed the baton of the New Testament Word to me, Seonsang, so holding that baton, I ran into the Complete Testament.
• Additionally, John the Baptist always comes first and cries out, “The Lord who is to come in the new era will arrive soon!” Therefore, he comes first, cries out, and leaves the world first. Those who belong to that history of John the Baptist are also born earlier and cry out before [the savior cries out]. Consequently, when the new era, the good time, actually arrives, [their] lives are like the sun hanging low in the twilight.

◯ John the Baptists already cried out to the former faith that the new history [that is made] through the one sent by God was coming, completed their mission, and then left. They do not know what we do. Even if they knew it, would they come to this history? God has always mandated that people act following the model figure.

◎ When a new era comes, the most significant thing is this:
The one sent by God for the [new] era fulfills the history of salvation
by delivering the “New Word” to his followers
in order to teach what sin is and enable them to repent.
And by preaching to them God’s purpose for creating heaven and earth
and thus enabling them to fulfill it,
[the savior] resolves [and fulfills] God’s ultimate purpose for [Heaven].

◯ It is written, “He has come to save his people from sin.”

(Matthew 1:21) “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
(1 Timothy 1:15) “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.”

Always, the issue of sin must be resolved for [people]. Only then can those who are confined in the domain of death be saved.
First, the one who is spiritual bears the sins of the era on their behalf.
His witnesses also bear [the sins] following his suit and work with him. Through this [sign], God lets [them] recognize His history even more.
Even if the fulfillment of God’s 1,000-year history is concealed,
since the times turn [accordingly] like this
and since God works upon the nation and the world,
eventually, everyone comes to know.

◯ Providence has proclaimed the new Word from the beginning because God is with it. Because this is a new history, Providence alone started using [new] terms such as “the Complete Testament history” and “the history of brides,” before [all others]. Providence has been using all words and phrases of the new history.

◯ “The Complete Testament history” and “the history of brides” mean this:
It is the history of
receiving the spirit of Jesus, who returned through the one sent by God on earth,
and fulfilling God’s will of the new era as brides.
Therefore, the Rapture of faith takes place,
so the spirit goes to Heaven
while the body carries out God’s will of the Complete Testament on earth.
[ I ] have constantly taught this.

Since [ I ] teach the Rapture perfectly, everyone who learns realizes and rejoices. When people hear our Word on the Rapture, they agree, “This is right.” They do not regard it as strange. When people with normal reasoning hear the former faith’s logic on the Rapture, they all reject it saying, ‘Those people are abnormal.’ We, too, reject that logic of the former faith.

◯ When we teach,
“The Rapture is to live believing in the one sent by God on earth. Also, the spirit receives the 1,000-year history of the new era and goes to Heaven. This is the Rapture,”
the questions about the Bible are answered, so people believe and follow.

Because God has already taught [us] in this way
the purpose of creation that He is carrying out at this time,
we have been fulfilling that purpose according to His Word.
Therefore, this history is truly the history of salvation that God Himself is carrying out.

◯ Other religious entities claim that they themselves are the new religions, and they have erroneously taught and cried out incorrect teachings: “We will resurrect. Our bodies will not die. We will live forever.”
Contrary to their claims, their physical bodies have aged and are dying. All of them are false religions; they are deceptive religions.
Jesus said, “Anyone who teaches untruths is a heretic.”

(Matthew 24:4–5) “Jesus answered: ‘Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, “I am the Messiah,” and will deceive many.’”

◯ The terms of the new era that we alone use—such as ‘spiritual resurrection,’ ‘spiritual rapture,’ ‘the Second Coming in spirit,’ and others—are unique terminology of the 1,000-year era of brides.
Other religious entities have learned [the Bible] as “physical” concepts from the time of their ancestors, so they do not know the new history that receives Jesus, who returned in “spirit”; therefore, they keep using only the words related to waiting. They say, “The Lord will return in body. If you believe this, you will receive his body. The bodies of the dead will resurrect. Afterward, the Lord will judge the world, and our physical bodies will be raptured.”

◯ Those who have an illusionary belief have persecuted us, who believe correctly. Ones who believe in untruth are heretics. Those who believe in the perfect truth are not heretics.
Those [with illusionary faith] entice and persuade [people], asserting what is false is true. They who view us as heretics are [real] heretics. Providence, which has the theories that they define as false, has entered a new time and is flourishing. Young people, the descendants of those who had waited have come, and they are advancing, continuously fulfilling God’s new history.

◯ Providence has provided eternal hope, actualizing [it] with the Word of life. God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and Jesus came in the new era through the one God sent, and they commanded, “Do things according to proper methods that are different from the thoughts of the former faith”; therefore, we have been fulfilling [God’s Will] according to the Word of truth. We have fulfilled everything according to God’s Word: “Your thoughts and My thoughts are different. Just as heaven is higher than the earth, so are My thoughts from yours.”

▶ Reference Scriptures : Isaiah 55:8-9

We are the witnesses of this history. This is because we ourselves have carried it out.

◯ During Jesus’ time, too, it was the very people who had waited that opposed him. They committed truly deplorable acts. Their own words were, in fact, wrong, yet without knowing this, they asserted those words.

◯ If a wise person argues with an ignorant person, the wise cannot breathe because they feel suffocated in shimjeong. So in that situation, [the wise] must avoid [the ignorant]. Someone whose perceptions are wrong goes on, declaring that a path to death is the right path. Afterward, as they fall off a cliff, they cry out, “Now I know! Save me!*”
{Translation note: Alternatively, “Please help!”}

◯ Those who opposed Jesus did not realize [the truth] even later to fulfill the New Testament history with the Gentiles.
Even though the beginning [of the new history] was small,
it was those who followed Jesus and received salvation that continued to spread the gospel.
God has always said, “Salvation is fulfilled only when it is centered on the one sent by God.”

◯ Stars emit light through nuclear fusion that takes place at their core. When the one sent by God relays the truth and God’s will, people must believe and follow. This is the nuclear fusion at the core. Fusion takes place centered on the core. Therefore, in God’s history as well, [people] must come to the core.

◯ Those who stopped following Providence, left Seonsang, and declared, “I will lead,” all came to ruin. Satan devoured them.
In the future as well, anyone who leaves Providence and declares they will lead [history] on their own will all be crushed because it is not the will of God and the Holy Spirit. Only the one sent by God for the time period wins, wins, and wins again with the truth. This is because he acts as the body of God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and Jesus.
{Translation note: Literally, “I will do it.”}

[You] who follow him and follow the history of the new era must live [your] lives absolutely* with perfect faith. The way [you] act must be like ongoing nuclear fusion. Only then will Satan and the world not seize [you] and make [you] their own.
{Translation note: modifies “with perfect faith”}

◯ Because Providence is God’s history, God grants power, wisdom, and the Word of life to those who follow. As they preach the gospel with that power, [the history] continues to prosper.

God says, “Preach the gospel boldly. Even though tens of thousands followed each of the newly emerging religions, because [those religions] were not the new history and taught untruths, not the perfect truth, they ended there and disappeared. Only one religion—you* alone—is the history that I, God, govern by My divine will; therefore, [Providence] will advance ceaselessly. Systematically organize the Word I have taught until now and deliver it to those who have sought and come to this time period.”
{Translation note: plural}

◎ Although you are following Providence, you must know in detail about the one sent by God for the time period, know about the Word, and know about the work he has done. You should not merely follow the crowd here and there. There are things you need to do with the crowd, and there are things you yourselves must do in detail individually. Since you must do your own work, you must know [it] in detail.

◯ Those who have recently come to Providence may say from their end, “I have learned it,” but they do not know well. The same applies to those who have been [in Providence] for a long time. Even if you passed an exam, if you forget the questions and answers in the course of your life, you are unable to do what must be done. Therefore, God said, “You should always learn at each given time. You should do what needs to be done at each given time.”

◯ When farmers farm, even after they sow seeds, they continuously tend the crops, pulling out weeds, until the harvest. Likewise, in faith as well, whatever work it may be, you must tend the seeds you saw until the harvest. The principles* of all things are the same. God said, “If they deviate from the principles,* they cannot succeed even if a crowd of people follows and works on it.”
{Translation note: reason}

◯ When I, Seonsang, was carrying out the early history of Providence, many religious groups proclaimed that they were [God’s] new history. There were about 30 such entities. Some of them had more followers than Providence. So I asked Jesus about them, and he replied, “These are signs that appear because the time has come. They will do what they do and disappear. The owner is only one. I make [history] with you here, with the truth.” All of the fake ones were like meaningless clouds, so all of them disappeared within the generation.

◯ There was an organization that believed in and waited for Bachelor Jeong (Jeong Doryeong). When their [leader] preached, “Bachelor Jeong is coming,” [ I ] asked, “Which Jeong clan are you from?” He replied, “My last name is Park, but I have to proclaim that Bachelor Jeong is coming.” He continued, “A book entitled Jeonggamrok* is circulating. It states, ‘When Bachelor Jeong comes, he will fulfill an ideal world. When he comes, a new capital will be established. He will found the greatest capital and govern the nation and the world.’ This is why we are waiting for him. The book of secrets reads, ‘Only after he comes will we be liberated and fulfill an ideal world. He will teach the way and achieve a world of peace.’ ‘Doryeong’ out of ‘Jeong Doryeong’ refers to an unmarried man.” With that explanation, he said, “You must believe in Bachelor Jeong.”
{Translation note: “Contemplating Records about Jeong,” a collection of prophecies that are believed to be recorded and circulated among Korean people during the mid-and-last phases of Kingdom of Chosen in the 16th-18th centuries.}

◯ In his time period, Jesus did not get married either. He came solely with the way of the times, the truth of the era, and he fulfilled an ideal world by focusing only on proclaiming it and helping people abide by it.
This time period is the same.
Just as Jesus carried out the history of the New Testament, the new era,
Providence has been carrying out the history of the Complete Testament, the new era, as a history that recurs.

◯ If the making of an object has begun, it must be completed before it can be used. You must make yourself completely, too, before you can be used. Also, the Word must be properly interpreted in order [for people] to act upon it properly and fulfill God’s will of the times.

◯ The former faith and other, new religions
that acted without properly interpreting the Word
practiced [their faith] but failed to fulfill the wills [they believed in].
They have grown old and died.
Still, God and Jesus left them alone. This is because proper interpretation of the Bible is human responsibility. If they had read the Bible properly and if they had verified, they would have known correctly. When they did not know, they should have prepared themselves, waited for the one who was to come, and welcomed him.

◯ God said, “Providence must do each and every thing properly. You need to check if there are contradictions and fix them. A bride must be clean. Only then can she become one with Me, God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and the Lord.”

◯ If it is a religion without flaw, it must properly understand the Bible and practice the truth. If people do not know [the truth], they will live their whole lives in their ignorance and then die. Knowledge is blessing.

Even if they made flourishing movements for a period in their lifetime, the religions that ran without correct knowledge gradually disappeared after about 30 years. Anything that was not the will of God and the Lord completely disappeared. When they did not attach themselves to the will of God and the Lord, they ceased to be. This is because what they asserted was not the truth.

You must welcome the Holy Son and Jesus absolutely through the one sent by God, become one with [the one who is] their body, and live with the Holy Spirit while attending God. Only then will you exist forever.

◯ It is the same for the former faith. God said, “The former faith should have crossed over to ride the history of the new era.” This means that they should have been reborn by listening to the Word of the new era.

The leaders disbelieved God’s new history due to their stubbornness and pride. Consequently, the followers, too, could not come to the new history. The scribes and priests of Jesus’ time and the believers of the former faith of this era have been exactly the same.

A small number among them eventually came to Providence and realized and understood God’s workings. They repented and now live testifying about this history.

◯ If they do not know even after waiting for 2,000 long years,
their descendants, too, will continue to live miserable lives.
When God’s new era comes, parents who have believed in God must realize that it has come. Only then can they inform their children.
On the other hand, some children may realize first and inform and help their parents to follow.

◯ The new history has already been carried out by new people who are following the new era. As written in the Bible, it started from one end of the earth and has been fulfilled.

The core of the new history is that God carries it out through the one He sent. Through His chosen one, God has done all the things He intended to do. It is just that those who should have followed—the people of the former faith who had waited for a new history—did not come.
Yet, the new history has been fully carried out with young people as the main characters.

[We, Providence,] have fulfilled the purpose of creation physically as well as spiritually. Providence has been expanding while physically, we gave birth to children, and spiritually, we continued to evangelize young people. Because we received the new era, we advance having received the thousand-year history and fulfilling God’s purpose of creation.

◯ The fact that [the people of] the former faith, who had waited, did not come, does not mean that the new history cannot be fulfilled. The owners of the times are the young, second generation. Everyone who has come to this time period is a young person. Just as Jesus said, the history of the new era has to be carried out by new people. This is like putting new wine into new wineskins.

(Matthew 9:17) “Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

◯ The old history only persecutes the new history and follows God only within the old era until they come to an end. Since it is daytime in the new era, the sun has set in the old era. Not only the former faith but [entities of] other histories, too, are following that kind of direction.*
Contrary to them, the new history is entering the daytime of the thousand-year history of the new era with God’s chosen people. God always centers around the new history of the new era. The final new history will last for a thousand years.
{Translation note: Literally, “time (때)”}

◎ Every time a new era comes, God delivers the Word through the one sent by God for that era, and if [people] listen and obey, He enables them to cross over from death to life. It means that God gives the Word to His chosen people.
As for me, Seonsang, because God chose me and because God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Son, and Jesus gave me the new Word, I realized and understood that the new era had come. And I have been preaching this gospel. Therefore, you should treat the Word like life itself. You must deliver the Word really well.

◯ Above all else, the greatest thing in Providence is the eternal Word. Only by listening to this new truth will you know, “This is God’s history,” and know, “The one sent by God has come.” You will know, “The new era has already arrived,” and gain firm conviction and make your faith as solid as a mountain.

◯ If you properly know this Word, you will overcome temptations, overcome the falsehood of the wicked, overcome slanders, and overcome your own physical and wrong heart. In this way, in the new era, [everyone] must overcome through the new Word. Only then can everyone cross over from the domain of death to the domain of life and live [in it]. I, too, keep my heart and faith always steadfast because God gives me the Word every day.

◯ God said, “You* too must listen to the Word of this time period in order to be filled with hope and joy. If you listen to the Word of the old era, the Word of the New Testament, your faith will die because it is an outdated Word.
{Translation note: Plural}

“As for the things belonging to the flesh,
whether it is love, wealth, honor, fame, or any dream and hope,
it may be [as immense] as a mountain at first, but it is only momentary. Just as clouds disappear from the sky once it rains, physical things disappear meaninglessly.

Even if tribulations come—sometimes small like a thread, sometimes [big] like a typhoon—the new Word of the new era holds everlasting hope. Untruth and things hoped for as of the flesh are like foam and soap bubbles that disappear in an instant at a wind.”

◯ The Holy Spirit continues, “Your own time is just a moment. Things of the spirit, things of the new era, and things of God last throughout the lifetime of the body and for eternity of the spirit. Those who left Providence departed, saying their hope in the world was bright and promising. However, as I looked down from God’s holy fortress, they were merely living their old lives in deserts and desolate places, as if plowing the ground from which they had [once] been taken.

“What is not true is not true even if all humanity asserts it. Even if 8 billion people assert that the hanging cloud will remain in the same spot for a week, what is not true is not true. Therefore, it will vanish soon. In the same way, only the absolute truth, and only those who have lived by the absolute truth, are eternal. Nothing deviant from the truth is fulfilled, no matter how much effort or prayer is put in.

“The history of Providence will be eternal even though severe storms of tribulations come and go. This is because what I have spoken is the truth. Satan and the wicked cannot block this history. It will be everlasting.”

◯ If a person chooses the wrong religion and faith, they go to ruin forever. Their spirit suffers eternally. Yet, those who hold onto untruth treat the flawless truth as heresy. Why? Because Satan is going berserk through those holding onto untruth.

◯ Jesus said, “Only the Word I delivered, the eternal truth, endures forever. Remember the words I spoke: I am the truth, the way, and the life.”

▶ Reference verse: John 14:6

In this era as well, only the words spoken by the one whom Jesus sent and uses as his body to cry out are the truth.

◯ You must remain belonging to the absolute truth. Only then will the God of truth be with you closely, carry out His will together, and fulfill the will of the time period. God does not go to [a place of] untruth.

◯ God said, “I, God, am with those who live in the truth and help them. If it is not the truth that I, God, proclaimed, even though [it] may seem to go well for a moment, it all disappears when the time of judgment comes. When I render the judgment of the time period, only the truth remains and shines even more brilliantly. My, God’s, history thrives even more in times of tribulation and judgment. It becomes even more vibrant to evangelize and be active. Since I eliminate evil for you, [Providence] flourishes and expands more brilliantly.”

◯ When rain suddenly falls after a drought, dead trees are washed away because they have no roots, but various living trees, including fruit trees, become more vibrant and luxuriant with blooming flowers by receiving the rain. And their fruits ripen substantially, looking pleasing to the eyes and good to eat. So they bring joy to the owner.

◯ The wicked say that the righteous are being judged, but that is not the case. In the end, God always judges the wicked for tormenting the righteous with falsehood and injustice. Those who slander the righteous are wicked. God does not leave the wicked that strayed from the truth alone, but He cleans up by judging. Isn’t God cleansing and judging the nation and the world even now? In particular, He judged if they strayed from the truth and did not act peacefully.

◎ If the righteous do well, they gain and continue to prosper even during tribulations. On the other hand, if the righteous relax and stop taking action, saying the wicked are gone, they contract the disease of complacency and cannot fulfill their hopes.

◯ God said, “The tasks you need to complete every day are blessings to you. You must do the work. If you do not, I, God, will let a cold wind blow to awaken you from the sleep of faith and frighten and distress you by sending polar bears, predators, and wild animals. You should voluntarily do God’s work and take action gladly on your own. Fulfilling My, God’s, purpose of creation at all times is the great life of love—a life of living together with Me.”

◯ Today, I have delivered a deep message with the five main points listed at the very beginning as the core. Now, a still better time has arrived even within God’s new era. After the tribulation, a good time and a good world have come to Providence, to the nation, and to the world.

Even though a good time has come, blessings are received and history unfolds [only] in a place that is worthy to receive the good time—a place that is pertinent to that time.

◯ I bless that you will deeply realize and practice the Word while reviewing the core points that I listed for you.

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