    The Secret of the Seven Thunders and The Root of David

    Hearing the Voice of God

    As we can see in many places in the bible, Apostle John had ability to understand the voice of God. Ordinary people received the voice of God as undiscernible sound of thunders. However, John had the ear for the voice of God and could understand the meaning of the voice of God.

    John 12:28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

    Unlike the people around him who understood the voice of God as thunders, John clearly heard what God had said and wrote, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again”.

    Apostle John receives the words of God in a vision and write them down in the Book of Revelation.

    The Bible Sealed Up

    In the Book of Revelation, John heard the voice of God again and tried to write down what he heard. But this time God commanded him to seal up what he heard.

    Revelation 10:3 When he (God) shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”

    Even though John heard what God had said and was about to write them, God told him not to write them down. And because of this, the bible teaches that the words of God will have been sealed up.

    Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.

    When the book of God or the bible will be sealed up in the last days, there would be no one who can open the seven seals of the bible, which means there would be nobody who can understand the words of God in the bible. (Isaiah 29:11)

    Unsealing what the seven thunders had said

    Unsealing the Bible

    Because of this many people today argue that it is presumptuous to try to know what God has sealed up. And it is natural for us not to know the meaning of the Revelation or the bible in general. This humble attitude seems to be proper and suitable to the people of God who are supposed to have limited ability unlike God. For this reason, people do not try to understand the meaning of the bible with the excuse that you can cover up your ignorance through the faith in God.

    If you have faith in God, any ambiguity or gap in the bible does not matter to you. Since you have faith in God, you will be saved whether or not you know the meaning of the words of God in the bible. Is this true?

    2000 years ago in the time of Jesus the Jews had the same attitude. They believed that they had faith in God. And through their faith in God they could be saved whether or not they knew the meaning of the words of the bible. But they could not. They did not know who Jesus was. Even through Jesus was their God they had believed since the time of Abraham, they did not receive him since He came as man in the flesh just like them since they did not know the words of prophecy in the bible.

    Through the story of the Jews, there is one thing that we should know. That is, It is essential to have the knowledge of the words of God in the bible to receive salvation and to have firm faith. Knowledge of the bible gives us the faith in God. Without knowing the bible, we cannot know God and we cannot receive salvation.

    The Root of David

    When God commanded John to seal up what the seven thunders had said, did God intend to seal up the message forever? No, definitely not. When we write a letter, we usually seal up the message in an envelope. However, that does not mean that the message would be sealed up forever. When the appointed recipient receives the letter, he can open the seal and read the message in it.

    The same is the true to the sealed-up message of God. The message was sealed up until the appointed time of God. When the time comes, the appointed person will unseal the message of God in the seven thunders. The bible teaches the sealed-up message will be unsealed in the last day.

    Revelation 10:7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God (or the sealed-up message of God) will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

    Then who would unseal what the seven thunders said? The bible says that the secret will be revealed when the appointed time comes. (Revelation 22:10) Then who is the recipient who can open the message?

    Revelation 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.

    The Root of David
    Who is the Root of David?

    Second Coming Christ Opening the Seven Seals

    The bible says that it is only the Root of David who can open the seven seals of the bible. And the Root of David is the Christ who was to come in the last days, that is, the Second Coming Christ.

    Revelation 22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

    Then what does this mean? It means that we have to know who the Second Coming Christ is. To know who the Second Coming Christ is, we have to know the meaning of the bible and we should have knowledge of the bible. We cannot simply ignore what we do not know in the bible. Whatever is written in the bible was given to us as message to know God and receive salvation. Therefore, we have the full knowledge of the bible.

    Today what we have to do is to know who the Root of David is through the prophecies of the bible. I hope everybody to come to have salvation by have the knowledge of the word of God in the bible.

    2 Timothy 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

    We have to make efforts to know the meaning in the Scriptures and should have wisdom for salvation. Through the wisdom we get by studying the words of God in the bible, we can have faith in God, not vice versa. The knowledge gives us firm faith, not the other way round. Therefore, we must make every effort to know the words of God in the bible. Then we can come to know who the Root of David is and receive salvation.

  • Interpretation of the Bible: How or Who?

    Interpretation of the Bible: How or Who?

    If we look around us today, there are so many different churches and different doctrines. Each church interprets the bible in their own way and those interpretations are different from church to church. What is worse is that each member-even in the same church-has a different understanding of the bible according to their own interpretation.

    Christ said that we have to know the truth to be saved. However, today the concept of the truth is decentralized and deconstructed and people acts as if they were happy with many different understandings of the bible. Even people in the academic world encourage the environment of the diversities in understanding and interpretation.

    Once Jeremiah lamented of idolatries of the Israelites each of whom followed different idols according to their own understanding of God and the bible.

    Jeremiah 2:28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns.

    This can be said to our situation too where each person and each church and each community have their own interpretation of the bible and each of them have their own God and Christ according to their understanding of the bible. In the realm of humanities as scholastic field, this might be recommendable and it cannot cause that serious problems. However, this can cause a lot of confusion and hinder the understanding of the truth the bible wants to show us.

    The Essence of the Bible

    The most essential teaching of the bible is that there is the God in the spiritual world and God wants to teach us the truth that can give us salvation. The concept of the truth is most important in reading the bible.

    John 8:31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

    Jesus Christ teaches us that the Truth can set us free from sin and death. Therefore, in reading the bible, what we have to care about most is “finding the truth”. Then, among so many interpretations of the bible, how can we find the truth?

    Not How, But Who

    To find the truth what we have to remember is the way we can find the truth. Many people think that they can know the truth if they know how to interpret the bible. For this reason, they have tried to find the right way to interpret the bible. Some people used a logical way of thinking to interpret the bible. Some people used an allegorical method, or story-telling, historical fact, numerical analysis, etc.

    With these methods, they could produce plausible interpretations of what they read, which seems to make sense in certain aspects. But none of them could find “the voice of the seven thunders,” or the perfect words of God (the truth). Each interpretation had its own limits in so much as that they had their own merits.

    Then why could they not find the truth? Were they lacking in wisdom, knowledge, acuity in thinking, or logical power? All these things might have had some impact in the failure of finding the truth. But what is more important is the more fundamental matter in the interpretation of the bible. That is, the correct interpretation of the bible does not depend on the methods of the interpretation, but the person who interprets the bible.

    Interpretation of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

    The interpretation of the bible.
    God said, “Do not eat”, and the Serpent said, “You can eat.” Then how can we know the truth in this situation?

    Let me give you one example. In the Garden of Eden, there was a tree, called “The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. For this tree, two different interpretations were given to Adam and Eve. One was the truth that could give them life, but the other was falsehood which could mislead them and destroy them. The one interpretation was given like this:

    Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.

    And the other interpretation of the tree was written in this way:

    Genesis 3:4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

    The Bible Truth Lies in the Interpreter

    The first interpretation of the tree was from God who planted the tree in the garden and his message was very clear and simple. However, the second interpretation was from the serpent or Satan. And the interpretation is completely opposite of the first interpretation with more rhetorical aspects in it to make his message more plausible. And since the second interpretation was more “pleasing” to the ear and seems to be more “desirable”, they followed the second interpretation only to be destined to die.

    Then what made the first interpretation true and the second one false? It did not depend on the manner and figures of the speech; nor did it in knowledge, wisdom, logical acuity, etc. The truth lay on the person who made the comment. The comment of God was the truth and the comment of the serpent was false. Therefore, in finding the truth what we have to do is to find the right person who has the authority to interpret the bible.

    Sealing of the Bible

    The bible prophesies that the words of God in the bible would be sealed up and there would be no one who can interpret the bible.

    Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

    According to the first verse above, the bible says that the book of God would be sealed with seven seals. “Seven” in the bible means “perfection” or “completion”. In this sense, we can know the bible is completely sealed up in the last days. The truth Jesus taught in his first coming came to be hidden and sealed completely and no one would be able to know the meaning of the bible. The bible says no one—angels above, men on the earth—can understand the bible and no one can give true interpretation of the bible. No human being with his knowledge or wisdom can open the bible; nor can they see the message in it.

    The Root of David

    Since this is what would happen in the last days, it is natural to say that we cannot interpret the bible through our wisdom or knowledge. If then, how come there are so many people who says that they can interpret the bible? According to the bible, however, there is one who can open the seals of the bible and see what is written in the bible: the Root of David. Therefore, to find the truth in the last days, we have to know who the Root of David is and meet him to receive his teaching.

    Except for the interpretation of the Root of David, all other interpretations—however they might look logical, sensible, plausible—are just false ones which have nothing to do with the truth. As I said before, the manner of interpretation does not matter. What matters is the one who has authority to interpret the bible, in this case, the Root of David. Without knowing and receiving the Root of David, we would never be able to find the truth.

    Conclusion

    Today, there are so many people who interpret the bible with knowledge and wisdom. They put their whole life to seek the truth in the bible. What they don’t realize is that they are following the wrong direction out of ignorance and misunderstanding of the prophecies of the bible. The only way to know the truth in the bible is through the Root of David who would appear as legitimate interpreter of the bible in the last days. Therefore, the question we should ask to find the truth is “Who is the Root of the David?” It is not “How should we interpret the bible?” Then who is the Root of David?

    Revelation 22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

    According to the bible, the Root of David is the second coming Christ who would come in the last days. It means Christ himself is the only one who has authority to open the seals and give the correct interpretation of the bible. When someone says that he can interpret the bible, we should ask him first, “Are you the Root of David?” And we have to have spiritual eyes to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong the Root of David

    I hope you would meet the Root of David and find the truth that gives life for your soul.

  • [WMSCOG] The Root Of David, Who Was To Open The Seven Seals Of The Bible

    [WMSCOG] The Root Of David, Who Was To Open The Seven Seals Of The Bible

    The Appearance of the Second Coming Christ

    Paul said that people had to wait for the second coming Christ to know the truth. There is no one else who can know the truth except for the second coming Christ. Now let us find out the Christ who would appear as the Root of David.

    1 Corinthians 4:5   Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts.

    Sealing of the Bible

    What are the things hidden in darkness? It is the truth of the new covenant. The truth of the new covenant Jesus established with his blood was abolished the work of the Satan and one by one all the truth of the new covenant was forgotten and lost during the dark ages. Instead of the laws of God, people are following man’s teaching and tradition. And instead of worshiping God people are worshiping Satan in the last days, practicing adultery and lawlessness. In this situation there could be no salvation. Jesus already foretold that this world would be filled with lawlessness through the parable of the weeds and wheat.

    If we look at the customs of the churches today, they are following all the man’s traditions instead of God’s commands. Jesus kept Sabbath, Passover, and all the festivals of God with his disciples to give them blessings of the eternal life, but all these precious truth of the new covenant was changed into Sunday worship, Christmas, Easter, and all the man’s festivals which was not originated from God or the bible. Jesus clearly warned against following man’s tradition in the book of Matthew 15, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.” (Matthew 15:7)

    Disappearance of the Truth of the Bible

    Apostle John saw that all the peoples of the world are following Satan and obeying the commands of man, letting go the commands of God.

    Revelation 13:3  …The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon (Satan) because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast (Anti-Christ)…

    God’s people worship God by following commands of God, but in the last days, deserting the commands of God, people are worshiping the dragon and the beast by following man’s teaching and tradition. The truth of the new covenant was completely sealed up, and nobody knows the truth and obey it. The truth or the good seeds are completely covered with the falsehood or weeds. Then who is the one who will restore the truth back to the world so that people can follow the truth. It is only the Root of David who can bring the hidden truth into light in the last days.

    The Root of David and Unsealing the Bible

    Revelation 5:2  Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” 3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. 4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

    The Bible is sealed with the seven seals. The number “seven” means “completion or perfection” and the seven seals means a perfect and complete seal. Then who can open this complete seal which was done by God?

    There is only one who can open the seal of the scroll or the bible and reveal the truth in the last days, that is, the Root of David. Then who is the Root of David?

    Who is the Root of David?

    There is no one who can restore the truth of the new covenant except for the Root of David, Jesus who is coming in the last days-The Second Coming Christ. The Second Coming Christ comes as the Root of David and he is the one who can open the bible and teach the truth of the new covenant. That is why Paul said not to judge anything until the appointed time for the second coming Christ. Today there is one who brought the truth of the new covenant by opening the seven seals of the scroll: Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the truth of the new covenant Jesus established on the night of the Passover. Then who is Christ Ahnsahnghong? He is the one who we must wait.

    Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Root of David

    Christ Ahnsahnghong came as the Root of David and taught us the truth of the new covenant, the true commands of God we should keep. Let us keep the Passover with a thankful mind! And also He saw us the reality of the new covenant, the Heavenly Jerusalem Our Mother. Let us give thanks to Father and Mother for coming as the Spirit and the Bride to us to give us salvation.
