<Wednesday Message for October 14, 2009>

Where is This Time Period Positioned?

Main Scriptures: Luke 17:28, Genesis 7:1-5

Reference scriptures: Genesis 6~8

Hallelujah! I bid you the peace of the Lord.

People are so very curious about their future and the end of their life.
They are really eager to find out about the end of the world and the
future of their nations. Their future as well as the end of the world is a
secret and a will that only the omniscient and omnipotent God knows.
Therefore, they cannot know unless God tells them. Anybody who
knows his future or the end of the world can lead a happy and ideal life
because it benefits him as much as he knows and he can escape harm.
Jesus has told [us] about the end of the world which is near, and also
about individuals’ futures. Referring to the spiritual events that already
happened in the past and that generations’ last days, He said, “The
last days of the world that will come upon you are also the
same [way].”
I am going to speak about what kind of phenomena we will see,
along with how and from what standpoint we will need to cope with it;
so listen carefully.
Last Sunday, the Lord spoke about the time of Lot and concluded,
“This time has come ‘this point’ and it is in ‘this’ situation; so you living
in this time need to do ‘this.’” As for today, the Lord tells us that He will
talk about the time of Noah in the Bible and show us where this time is
positioned.”
In each era, the world experienced the beginning and the last days
of each generation. The time of Noah was also the last days of the

1
generation. For this reason, God saved those who believed in Him well,
in that time period, and judged the rest according to each one’s deeds.
[The last condition of] their bodies was truly pitiful. Yet, [the condition]
of their spirits’ was tens of thousands of times more deplorable than
that. The spirit of an unsaved person that falls into hell is subject to
eternal misery.
Both the body and the spirit must be saved. If on earth one believes,
serves, and loves God well; and listens to the Word of Jesus whom God
sent, while living a righteous, valuable, and meaningful life; then it
becomes the righteousness and merit for his spirit so that his spirit is
saved as well. Then that spirit goes to heaven, where he will dwell as a
valuable, satisfied, and happy spirit. Happiness is only when the spirit
together with the body loves and serves God and obeys His Word.
New Comers and every member listening to the Word, I encourage
you to closely read Genesis chapter 6~8 when you go back home. Then,
you will understand today’s message much more clearly. It will take only
20 minutes, so please be sure to read it closely.
Jesus said, “The worldwide end-time will come upon the globe
in a way that never happened [before], nor will it ever happen
[again]. At that time, disasters will strike the world through
various natural phenomena, such as earthquakes, tropical
storms, wars, epidemics, drought, cold waves, and others. It
will turn out to be like the end time of Noah’s age.”
If I try to tell you the full account of the events [that happened] in
the time of Noah, the sermon will become too long. So since the Bible
holds the detailed report of the event, as I encouraged earlier, please
read it when you go back home. As for today, I will just mention its key
factors only and continue to deliver the message pertaining to this time
period.

2
 God called Noah who was the best worshipper of God at that time,
and said to him, “Noah, the sin of this generation has reached its limit,
so I will judge it. People take men and women as their husbands and
wives as they please; and live their lives according to their own
thoughts. When I created the world, I did so with the highest purpose in
mind; but people are living only as they please. I cannot fulfill My Will,
that is, the purpose of the creation for the human race on earth.
Therefore, I will completely destroy this land according to their deeds.
As for you, build an ark with *Gopher wood. If you build it, when I judge
[the world], you and your family will not die together with the wicked,
but you will be able to escape death and live. I will decide the size of
the ark, so make it as I tell you.” From that time, Noah started to build
an ark as God commanded him.

• Gopher wood: Used only in the Bible. No one exactly knows what kind of tree is ‘Gopher
wood,’ but out of many guesses, some source believes ‘fir tree’ might be the closest.

The Bible attests that Noah built the ark for 120 years, and when he
finished the ark and the flood began on the land, Noah was 600 years
old. Even if the Bible records it in that way, in light of reason, [I] could
not believe ‘600 years old [age]’ and ‘120 year-[long construction].’
When [I raised this question] I was in my 20s. So I prayed to the Lord
to help me believe those things first.
In response, the Lord told me, “In any time or generation, man’s
life is 100 years long, isn’t it? In each era, their date calculation
and national laws were different. The age of Noah as well as the
duration of the ark construction is the outcome from the [time]
calculations done by the method of that era.”
“The people of that ancient time counted one month as one year; so
[his] age came out to be that high. If you compute his age again, by

3
making one month 30 days, according to today’s method, the flood
broke out when Noah was 50 years old.”
It is said that the flood arose when he was 600 years old, so actually
the flood happened when he was 50 years old in today’s age
[calculation]. Again, if Noah built the ark for 120 years, when it is
recomputed by today’s date system, we arrived to the conclusion that it
took him 10 years to complete it. Therefore, when Noah began building
the ark, he was in his 40s.
Noah lived 4300 years ago from today. At that time, they did not
have a calendar, nor did they count one year as 365 days as we do. The
Bible records that people who lived 4,000 years, 5,000 years, or 6,000
years ago lived until they were 800 or 900 years old. It records [time]
that way because they calculated one month as one year. If you set 30
days as a month and compute [their ages] again, they are about 60 or
70. It fits reason, doesn’t it?
If you calculate your ages as they did in Noah’s time, today’s high-
schoolers as well as college students will be over 100 years old. People
over 30 are like 400 years old. People over 50 are older than 600 years
of age. Right? Jesus taught me the date computing system of Noah’s
time as well as of the Old Testament. Even if medical science reached
its peak and people took medicines that keep them from growing old,
when they reached the end of 100 years of human life, 98% of them
would die.
A few days ago during my predawn hour prayer, I came to talk with
the Lord about health.

<The Lord’s words>

To man, the proper amount of exercise is medicine. You must
exercise. When young, even if you skip exercising for health for
10 or 20 days, it does not show much difference. If old people

4
stop exercising even for a week, however, their [muscles] lose
flexibility and their bodies become weak.
Even if men in their 60s have young faces looking like their
50s; even if men in their 70s have young faces looking like their
60s; even if men in their 80s have young faces looking like their
60s; even if men in their 90s have young faces looking like their
70s, and even if they are actually as healthy as they look, do
you know what happens in the end? The day of death is similar
for them all. Live your life, knowing that. Therefore, know how
absolutely heaven, the kingdom of God is necessary. Even if you
go through suffering, you are happy if you are heading for that
Kingdom.”
No matter how healthy and ruddy, like a young boy or girl, a
90 year old person may be, he has already passed the line of
death. He only seems young while enjoying good health. No
matter how babyish the face of an 80 year old man may be, can
he live past 120 or 130 years? Every human being has crossed
the threshold of death once they reach 90 years of age. This is
calculation according to the time of God who created human
kind.”
No matter how clean you maintain your car, its engine has its own
life span. Even if it is a superb engine, it does not last beyond a
reasonable length of time. Should I make it easy to understand in a
simple way? No matter how young a woman’s face looks—even if she
looks like a baby—her menstruation stops after 50. How about making it
easy for men, too? Even if a 60-year-old man has a face looking like 30,
his stamina is [dry] like a creek in autumn after the summer monsoons.
Therefore, do not calculate that you will look younger and live longer
than others even when you are old. The Lord teaches this for us to live
knowing correctly.

 God told Noah, “You have worked hard to build the ark. Even if
it is hard, you have to take the path of life. I will send rain for
40 days to destroy this region by a flood. It will start raining in
seven days. So enter the ark, taking your family and domestic
animals you own, and one pair each of animals from this area;
and shut the gate. Act quickly from this moment. In seven days,
it will rain for 40 days to turn this region into a sea.”
Noah acted as God commanded him, and at the end, he had his
family enter the ark. Noah and his wife, three sons and their wives—it
was eight people total. After that, finally, he shut the gate of the ark.
The people of Noah’s time did not believe what Noah told them just
as Lot’s sons-in-law took Lot’s urging as a joke. When Noah preached
that God was going to judge soon, built the ark, and worshipped and
loved God only; people mocked what he was doing and thought that
Noah was doing it because he enjoyed doing it.
Noah acted perfectly. Therefore, he did not stumble over any
difficulties or whatever people said about him in any circumstances. If
you also act absolutely perfectly, your thoughts and views become solid
by the Word of God; so you do not waver.
When Noah thought about people worshipping other gods, he was
proud of himself as a believer of the omniscient and omnipotent God.
So he never wavered. How about our reality? We believe in the
omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent God the Creator and Jesus,
the King of Salvation and the King of Righteousness. We ought to be
proud of ourselves, when thinking of other people believing in other
gods, and definitely strengthen and solidify our will and mentality.
The first of the Ten Commandments is, “Do not worship any other
god before Me.” God deems idol worship the worst sin in light of both
the heavenly law and human law. You’ve got to exalt and honor God and

6
the Lord as the highest. You must put God and the Lord higher than your
lover, your husband, your wife, your parent, or your brother.
You can never enter heaven unless you love God and the Lord, who
created you, your parents and your brothers, and saves you all. The
absolute Being demands that things be absolute. We are created in that
way, so we must act in that way.
After completing the ark, Noah cried out to people and urged them to
enter the ark. But they did not believe him. Just as Lot’s sons-in-law
took it as a joke and did not believe him at all, when Lot pleaded with
them, “God will judge [the city] tonight! Let’s evacuate!” People of
Noah’s time also did not believe what he was telling them and thought
he was joking.
Only those who know and who believe take action. Do you know how
happy it is to live life with knowledge? Ignorance leads to misery. You
must learn. Because [people] don’t know, [they] trip into agony;
because they don’t know, they face misfortunes. God, the Holy Spirit,
and the Lord know all things because They alone are absolute almighty
Beings. God and the Lord work more powerfully upon those who know,
and make them realize and know more.
Although people of his time spoke ill of him and didn’t believe him,
Noah was not taken in by that. Without shaking, he put into action all
the words of God to save his family and himself. Furthermore, Noah put
even the animals of the area which God told him about into the ark in
order to save them.
I too have built ‘the Ark of Providence’ by preaching, no matter what,
the Word that God and the Lord spoke [to me], despite [facing] the
extreme tribulations for past 30 years—especially for the past 10 years.
When Noah had everyone and everything enter the ark faithfully as
God instructed him, and shut the gate, the rain began falling. The rain
poured down for forty days and forty nights until the water level rose up

7
to 15 cubits. One cubit is the length from an adult’s finger tip to his
elbow, which is about 45 cm. Since [the measure] was 15 cubits, it is
675 cm, or 6.75 meters. Suddenly the water level rose to 7 meters
deep! It was really an ocean!
• 45 cm=about 1.5 ft. 7 yard=about 21 ft

Now that the flat land was filled with 7 meter-deep water, where
could [the residents] escape to live? They were like primitives, living in
grass-roofed huts. They could not escape. Even if some of them
managed to climb up 10 meter-high trees and avoided the flood for a
while, how could they survive when it rained for forty days and forty
nights and they did not have any food to eat? It took 150 days until the
water subsided to a certain degree. What could they live on for five
months? Even after the water drained, there was no food for them! It
would have taken them four to five months to till the ground and
produce provisions again, wouldn’t it?
God’s judgment is perfect. Therefore, you can escape the judgment
only by following His instructions exactly. From the region where Noah
had lived, no one except Noah’s eight family members survived. After
the flood, the eight people of Noah’s family—who believed in and loved
God—began multiplying as the righteous. God’s judgment is dreadful
and just. On the judgment day, God remembers the righteous alone.
Before the judgment, God and the Lord treat the sinners as if they
were righteous with so much love. Before the judgment, God sends
evangelists and tells them, “Believe My Word, believe in Jesus the
Messiah I sent, and repent [for your] sins and become a righteous
person!” That time is the opportunity.
God is love. God shows compassion. Look at reality. God loves the
wicked, the sinners, the righteous and all. During the opportune time of
repentance, [He] loves men and asks [them] to repent. And then, on His
set date, God renders judgment. Those who obey all the instructions
8
that God and Jesus the Messiah give them escape the judgment to live;
while the wicked are judged both in the body and the spirit according to
their deeds.
People do not know why God judges. God created human beings and
the world according to His will, to fulfill that will. Human beings,
however, have not lived according to God’s will but committed evil,
turning the world into a wicked world. Because of [their] wickedness,
the world of God has been lost. Therefore, God judges in order to
destroy the evil and restore the world that belongs to Him.
I will give you a simple parable. A certain person has worked so hard
despite all kinds of suffering. He then buys dozens of acres of land. His
purpose is to build skyscrapers as well as hotels on that land. Then he
goes to a foreign country where he runs a company for two decades
and makes a large amount of money. He now comes back to build all
the buildings and hotels, but the land that is supposed to be empty is
filled with shacks, grass-roofed huts, and mud-brick houses that
homeless people have built! Since the land is in the middle of a city,
onlookers comment seeing those dwelling on the land, “The land is
totally being wasted; and it looks unsightly!”
The owner who has discovered the trespassers living in that way on
his own land feels pity on them; so he buys them rice and helps them in
many ways, while explaining to them the purpose for which he
purchased the land so that they will understand. He says, “I bought this
land twenty years ago; I went to a foreign country to make money to
build skyscrapers and hotels here, and now I am back.” Hearing his
explanation, some of the dwellers admit their fault, apologize and leave,
thanking him. The others, however, do not accept his request to leave.
The owner gives them time, asking them to leave [during that time].
Afterward, since they do not leave, he finally breaks [the structures]
down. A judgment is given according to the law.

9
 As this short parable shows, we must know that God owns this
world and He judges in order to make the globe into a world
where those who live according to His Will occupy [the land].
Before judgment, God shows extreme love so that people will repent.
This time is the best chance. I too have led Providence together with the
Lord in that way. Look at how those who missed the chances and
rebelled are today. What kind of consequences do they face now? It will
be difficult [for them] to escape hell.

So far, [I] have told you about ‘How close the hour of the Lord’s
Second Coming is’ through the case of Noah’s time.
The Lord says, “Just like the time of Noah, in this time, too,
each person, each region and each nation will be judged
according to their deeds. The judgment has begun in some
areas and it has been completed in some others. Soon, the
great judgment will come.”
The Lord also says, “This time is like when God told Noah to
enter the ark after Noah had finished the construction. Now is
like when God told Noah, ‘In seven days, the rain will begin and
it will pour down for 40 days. Let your family and one pair of
each animal enter the ark.’” With that, the Lord adds, “Just
because the message says, ‘in seven days,’ do not think or
calculate, ‘One day is one year; therefore, we have seven years
to go.’”
Some of the revelators receive wrong revelations nowadays. So I told
them to stop. Then they send me revelations that are similar to my
messages; or sort out what they think is wrong from what they think is
right before sending them. In fact, even without reading their
revelations, I can find out just by asking the Lord, giving their names,
‘Have you given a revelation to so-and-so?’

10
 The revelations with good contents are mostly from their own
realizations or wisdom, or they are from helping spirits or angels. The
Lord gives a lot of revelations to only about seven people among them.
The rest cannot reach the deep levels of the spiritual world, so they
receive revelations by their own thoughts, knowledge, or wisdom; or the
Holy Spirit’s inspiration. Some of them sometimes receive revelations
from the Lord, too.
Also there are people who are influenced by Satan to receive
revelations mixed with what ghosts tell them. There are also some
people who receive revelations from Satan to a serious degree.
Fortunately, they follow well when I give them instructions. When I tell
them, “Do not receive revelations any longer, but fully focus on Sunday
messages and Wednesday messages, they comply.”
If I were next to you, I would be freely teaching and coaching each
one of you, but it is difficult to do so through letters and writings that
have limitations. Therefore, I will control one person at a time; and I
plan to elect some for the mission [of receiving revelation], just as those
who run in the forefront until the end are chosen among many runners
on the track. So be informed.
Even if one receives wrong revelations later, what has already been
confirmed and testified [by that person] are fine. Sharing what you have
profoundly realized or experienced gives listeners grace, but you must
distinguish it. When giving a testimony, you have to clarify, ‘This part is
the Lord’s revelation,’ ‘This is my experience,’ or ‘This is my realization.’
The present time is exactly like when God told Noah, “Enter the
ark!” Now is the time when [the Lord] says, “Before the Judgment of
God, listen to the Word of life the Lord preaches—that is, the
Word of the Advent—and enter the Ark of the Gospel!” It is the
time when you are told, “Listen to the gospel of repentance and
repent!” And it is the time when you are commanded, “Evangelize!

11
Find and bring those whom the Lord has chosen and those
whom He has raised without us knowing. Teach them the Word
of life and lead them into the Ark of the Gospel of the times!”
Spiritually speaking, it is the time when [the Lord] says, “Come into
the arms of the Lord, the arms of love! Enter the Ark where you
are united with the Lord in shimjung!”
Noah built the ark for 120 years. According to today’s computing
method, he [actually] built it for ten years. As for us, we have built ‘the
Ark of Providence’ that God set as His goal, for thirty years. Thinking
that the current Providence history was just like the time of Noah, we
sometimes sang the song, “Grandpa Noah is building an ark,’
contemplating about his time [period].
The Lord’s ark of the gospel has been made by the *Old Church and
the New Church of Christianity for 2,000 years. Preaching the gospel in
various ways and saving numerous lives, its history has spread through
many denominations.
• The Old Church (Catholic) and the New Church (Protestant)

You must understand the will of God and the principle of Jesus’
gospel. You need to know that the gospel is made closer to its ideal or
falls to a much lower degree, depending on the leaders. When it comes
to leaders, they speak the Word at different levels according to the
missions that God gave them; and they come with different missions
according to the times. If you meet the wrong leader, your spirit dies
and you cannot receive salvation properly.
Providence history is this active and lively because its leaders have
sacrificed, run, and preached the Word of life, following the Teacher.
When Providence holds Holy Spirit assemblies, [people] of the
Established Church see us and say, “Faith is alive here! It is so
refreshing! I will attend this church!” They are crowding in. They come

12
to life and bear witness because we deliver the Word of life that the
Lord gives us in this time.
Today, I have spoken of ‘When the end of this age is near, how close
is that hour? Where are we?” I have said, [now is] like when Noah had
finished building the ark and God told Noah, “In seven days, the
judgment will begin. Now, have one pair of each animal enter the ark.
When destruction is done by water, all [animals] will die except fish; so
save them by putting one pair of each animal into the ark so that they
will be preserved. And let your family also enter the ark.”
The lives that enter the ark—whether they are animals or humans—
are the seeds for later generations after the judgment. When God
judges, He either leaves the seeds or takes them to heaven.
This time is like when God told Noah, “Enter the ark.” The Lord says,
“Preach the Word of this time to those who do not know Me and
live their lives only for their bodies like animals. Gather them
and have them enter the ark of the gospel of this time. You too,
enter the ark of the gospel of Providence after repenting
completely. Speak for the last time to those who went out to
the world to make money, saying, ‘Providence is poor,’ and
others who went out to the world for various reasons. Speak to
them and make them enter [the ark.] Also, have your parents,
brothers, relatives, friends, and everyone with whom you have
some kind of relationship come. There are people whom I have
raised outside until now. So it is the time for you to preach My
gospel to them. Tell them clearly and sincerely that I have
chosen them and bring them.”
The door of the gospel will be shut at [the beginning of] the
judgment. In the future, when tribulations come, you will have to take
care of your own faith; it will be hard for you to pay attention to others.
Now is the best time, compared with the remaining future. Those who

13
truly believe and put these words into action will not miss this best, last
chance.
When preaching at an evangelism event, don’t try to employ a
different method: just preach the gospel of the times, as is! Then fire
will go out from your mouths. Those who evangelize bring people, using
any and every possible method. So the sermon-deliverers must
correctly cast the net of the Word of the day. You must not disappoint
[God/them.]
When the sermon-deliverers do not preach the Word properly, those
who have brought [the new comers] feel anxious. You must pour out the
powerful word regarding this time, sincerely and skillfully. They have
already heard what the world says; so [now] you must relay only the
message that the Lord cries out. You have to tell them, “The Lord chose
you. Do not go to hell, but go to heaven!” Heaven is not about many
words; but it is about ‘the power.’ By the way, when you bring people,
you need to give them good preparation, too.
See how many people remain after an evangelism rally. You have to
make 100% [of them] make up their minds on the spot and over 80%
remain. Otherwise, it is our loss. Do not lecture about *human lives, but
lecture about **life. Don’t take time. Instead, you must directly,
candidly give them the Word. Don’t just raise your voices, but preach
the Word, piercing their hearts, setting their hearts on fire.
* human lives: ‘life’ in this phrase is the same as used in the following examples—her hard
life, throughout his life, etc.
** life: this ‘life’ means the same as used in the following examples—precious life, eternal life,
or life and death, etc.

When you, as an individual, evangelize a person, don’t hide things,

but tell them about the fundamentals of faith from the beginning. When
evangelizing, tell them clearly, “The Lord is calling you” and deliver
them the Word of the times. Individual evangelism is the most
substantial. One-on-one evangelism is really profitable. One-on-two is
14
difficult. You evangelize one person completely, and then try the next,
in the same way. You evangelize one person completely, give them well
sorted out Sunday messages and Wednesday messages, thus making
that person your disciple. Do not hand them over to others while
evangelizing them, but you tell them clearly. When you speak to them,
do not beat around the bush.
Ask the new comers who have been evangelized. Ask them what was
said to move their hearts to come; how it was done for them to decide
to come. Through research, find out all shortcomings. For those who go
out to evangelize, keep studying and making efforts to know their
hearts.
The Lord says, “If you pray, receive the Spirit of God—the Holy
Spirit—and go out moved by the Spirit together with Me, Jesus;
then everyone you try [to evangelize] will come.” You need to be
a revival speaker yourself when [evangelizing.] Do not expect others to
[help you] but do it yourself. The Lord speaks like fire through the mouth
of one who evangelizes. If you do it with the Lord, you can do it. Do you
believe?
If the message at an event is boring, newcomers are unwilling to
accept it. So you must deliver a core fundamental message. If the
audience responds 70% positive and 30% negative, it is not good.
You’ve got to completely change all of them. On the spot, you have to
move them to make up their minds and believe. Think that they are
sitting now but will never return, and do it well at once. You must preach
in a way that will not disappoint those who evangelize and those who
are evangelized. When a *life is connected, you must thoroughly take
care of that person.
• life: person

Actually, a small size event is more beneficial. A big event is grand

but has less fruit.

15
 During today’s predawn hours, the Lord said, “If you see your
strengths, but do not see or fix your problems and
shortcomings, you do not develop.” He added, “If you want to be
the best athlete or a leader who reaches [the highest] stage,
you must fix all of your faults.”
Those who go to hell do not know why they go to hell. They only
think of how right they were and how good they were. They wonder,
“Why am I in hell?” If they had known their wrongs and fixed them, they
would not have gone to hell. In this way, a failure fails because he lives
only thinking of his strength.
The Lord says, “In life, live fixing your shortcomings; in holding
events, hold them, seeing and fixing their shortcomings, too.”
He continued, “If you want to reach the ultra-spiritual level,
quickly notice your weaknesses and correct them.”
If you only report your strengths to me, I cannot coach you properly,
meaning, I cannot develop you. If a man notices only good things about
himself, he has nothing to repent about even before God. He can repent
when he himself sharply points out his deficiencies. Since he does not
know that his weaknesses are sins, he is unaware of his sins. Since he is
unaware of his sins, he cannot repent to become a righteous person.
[Also,] it is a sin that you report to the Teacher omitting detail and
[consequently] pull him to the direction you want.
On the other hand, in order to develop yourself and avoid self-
abandonment, you must look at your strengths as well. You must see
both your strengths and weaknesses in living your life. Don’t say you
are a positive person and ignore your shortcomings. Listen well since
the Lord is speaking to you. Since you did not listen to people through
whom the Lord spoke to you, [at this moment] He is speaking through
me.

16
 National athletes pay attention to their weaknesses, shortcomings,
and mistakes; and practice and correct them daily. They do so in order
to become the best performers. About our spirits, bodies, and minds,
the Lord said through Apostle Paul that we had to stand blameless
before the Lord—not only at the time of His Return but also all the time
in everyday life where the Christ came to us.
(Second Thessalonians 5:23: May God Himself, the God of peace,
sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body
be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.)
Especially since the Lord visits each one of you frequently, please
receive Him without blemish. I press you to receive the Lord
blamelessly, putting your life on the line.
If [a woman] has a pretty face, but her nose is crooked, or one of her
eyes is blind, or her lip is cleft, or her ear is crushed, or her face line is
warped, she cannot be considered beautiful.
-If a woman has her nose elevated [through surgery]and asks, “Am I
not beautiful?” she may be called, “A woman with a beautiful nose.” But
if her eyes mismatch with each other, just making her nose higher will
not make her a beauty. Only her nose will be pretty.
-Another woman boasts about her body. But while her breasts are
large, her buttocks are flat; then she only has good-looking breasts. No
one will agree to her claim [to be a beauty.]
-Now another woman has a perfect chest and buttocks—really
perfect. So she strides proudly sticking those parts out, but her waist is
thick and her stomach looks like the 9th or 10th month, the end of her
pregnancy. So she does not have a perfect body.
-Still another woman has a great chest, buttocks, and waist line—100
points out of 100 points. But, her thighs are as thin as gazelle’s ankles
or the legs of a deer living in the desert. So, she cannot be a beauty
with a perfect body, either.

17
 Do you know why I am saying these kinds of difficult things? I am
telling you to become ‘a beauty of perfect faith’ in the sight of the Lord,
by equipping yourself in all areas of faith. You need to equip yourself in
many ways.
Listen to what I say. If you exercise everyday, yet you work out only
your chest area, only your chest will become big while your buttocks
remain weak. It doesn’t matter who. Whether you work out for a year or
two, the result is the same. You have to work out your buttocks for them
to become solid, [too]. You have to work out your legs to have strong
legs. Each part of your body becomes beautiful as much as your work
on it. In faith, likewise, you become competent in the areas in which you
are weak or fall short, if you reinforce and make those areas strong. Do
you believe?
Those who feel easily left out must fix that tendency. What I dislike
the most is your feeling left out. People like this, please do not ever
come to see me. You will make me be tested. The Lord too, dislikes that
the most. Feeling easily left out is very much favored by devils.
Whatever it is, you must do as the Lord tells you to do. You have to
say, “Amen!” and do it with a grateful heart. When He gives you certain
work to do, He does so because there is a certain will. Sometimes, He
tells you to do something that you have not expected. He sees if you
obey. If you obey, he puts you in charge of a big task. Now is an urgent
time when you must fix everything and make [yourself] strong for the
sake of the approaching tribulations.
Through a parable, I just told you about seven items that you have to
be equipped with in your life of faith, which are like parts of the human
body. I said, just as your body became firm, you needed to take action
in all areas evenly everyday to be [strong.] Some people inside
Providence have great-looking and healthy bodies but rotten mentality.

18
Outside Providence, too many people are in that state. Their bodies are
beautiful but their spirits are primitives. Truly there is no balance.
Especially the leaders of Providence must be quipped in all areas
because the audience is watching you with expectation. When a person
puts on swimwear, his body is entirely revealed. In this way, from the
standpoint of faith, all actions of faith are visible. [Now] is a time to
envy those who are well-formed in all aspects of faith. Through the eyes
of the spirit, through wisdom, through reason, and in the mirror of the
Word, people’s actions are clearly revealed. You must be equipped in all
areas.

This warning may be unnecessary, but I feel compelled to tell you

the following: just because I gave a parable of the body, don’t say, ‘I will
get my eye lids fixed right away! I will make my nose elevated!’ Please
don’t! I didn’t say those things to encourage plastic surgery. I said them
only as a parable to urge you to be equipped in faith. If your eyelash
seriously pricks your eyes, then you need some medical procedure; or if
your nose is badly twisted making it hard for you to breathe, then you
need some surgery. But, you must not get a surgery just because you
feel insecure about your looks. You must not have your eyes torn open
or your nose stuck up when they are just fine.
There is a member whose eyes look like the crescent moon. The Lord
told that person, “If you don’t have eye lid surgery to make them
double, your eyes will benefit you with their merit. They are art pieces.
As the new moon grows big, your life too will grow bigger and bigger.”
Everyone, you should display unique character according to how you
look.
Again, there is someone whose eyes are very round and popping out.
The Lord exclaimed seeing that person, “A goldfish! Awesome! It’s a
work of art!” So when I saw that person, I called, “Goldfish—!” Then one

19
day, that person said, “Sunsangnim! I have such a complex about my
eyes, really!” and she cried. So I said, “Even if you cry, I will [still] call
you, ‘Goldfish!’” That goldfish remained in the fish tank of Providence to
the end, and now has become one of the important leaders, working as
my hands and feet.
The Lord gives nick names according to how you look. He told me to
call each person by the nickname—lion, tiger, cheetah, fat pig,
elephant, peacock, gazelle, desert camel, or ostrich. Now just because I
say this, I don’t want you to write me letters to ask me your nickname.
Look at yourself in the mirror, and you will get it. And you can ask the
Lord to tell you through a dream, too. A nickname is given according to
your action or appearance. If your waist is like that of an ant, you
cannot be called “elephant.”

Now, the last item, and after this, I will end the message. You must
live your life loving the Lord the most, drawing yourself closest to Him,
believing in Him the most, obeying Him the most, being united with him
the most; while calling God, the Holy Spirit, and the Lord hundreds of
times [a day]; asking and putting hope in them each time. Do you
believe?
All of you should pray together and drive out Satan. If you feel left
out, Satan invades; so write me. Discuss with me; and tell me how you
truly feel and think. Then I will resolve [your problem]. Evangelize
diligently and take care of yourself diligently, too. Polish your skills.
Don’t say, “Who will teach all these people” because many people
are coming and being evangelized. Instead teach them together in
groups of 50, 100, or 200. Someone wrote me very worried about 20
people coming at the same time, saying, “I cannot handle them all!”
Even if 1,000 people come, you have to teach them with what you have
learned so far. Be bold and courageous.

20
 I want all other nations to evangelize with passion as well. You’ve got
to know how great it is that the Lord—the King of righteousness, the
Lord of lords—is with you. You must not think of the Lord as a man just
because He lived on earth in the form of a man. The Lord is the eternal
King of righteousness.
I asked the Lord, comparing Him with man. When I said, “Is the
difference like between a grass-thatched house and a skyscraper?”
there was no answer. I asked “Is the difference like between a grass hut
and the globe?”There was no answer. Then, I asked, “Is the difference
like between a grass hut and the universe?” Finally, He replied, “Yes.”
The Lord says, “If you come to the kingdom of heaven and see,
then you all will know Me and treat Me [with knowledge].
Please look up to Me while in this world. I, Jesus beg and plead
with you; I am patient with you and tolerate you; because I
value your lives. So don’t call Me ‘Savior’ only with your the
lips. Frankly, I want you to treat Me properly.”
You must not take the Lord’s calling of each *life as something
ordinary. When [you] see how angels treat the Lord, [you] will be
shocked. The Lord is the King of kings, the King of righteousness. You
must not treat Him like a mere man. Before the Lord’s Second Coming,
there will be no other times when we will meet the Lord so dramatically
and frequently as now once this time passes by.
• Life: person

You have to know the reason why the Lord deals with us so easily
and nicely, like an earthly man. Do you believe? Now is the best chance.
There has not been a time like this ever. The Lord says, “It’s just that
you don’t know. But I visited, met with, loved and helped each
individual. I have done everything that I could do as the
Messiah.”
The Lord has served us with a truthful heart; and has granted
everything we have asked, even while bearing the cross. Just as a
21
parent who knows the day of his death grants all the requests the
children make, and pleads with them to live as he guides them; the Lord
too, because He knows when He will be leaving, grants all the requests
Providence people make of Him, and treats people of this generation
pleading with them in the same way.
Everyone, know this, tell the Lord you are thankful and treat Him
with sincerity. He will respond in a dream or through your mind in
reality. I too, when disciples write me realizing about themselves,
saying, “You were always with us and loved us, but I didn’t do what was
right because I didn’t know,” I send them replies in at least a few lines,
agreeing to them, and advise them what to do, telling them that my
heart has not changed toward them.
Revelation is hearing an answer, “Yes,” when you point out and say
what is in the mind of the Lord, correctly. Try it: ask the Lord about
yourself, “I still have sin, right?” Ask Him, “I have not completely
repented yet?” If you still have sin, you will hear Him answer, “Yes.” Or,
ask Him, “I have completely repented, haven’t I?” If you are without sin,
you will hear Him answer, “Yes.” You will immediately receive a
revelation. To some of you, He may say, “You know yourself and yet you
ask Me this question?”
Try confessing your absolute love to the Lord. He will reply in no
time. The Lord replies without delay if you confess that you will
surrender your life to Him. Do you believe?
When you evangelize a person, deliver the Lord’s message of love to
him, by telling him, “There is someone who loves you the most in the
world; and He asked me to relay His message to you; so here I am.”
Then, give him more profound Word and suggest, “Why don’t you learn
for a few more days about how to love Jesus, try to love Him and see
[what happens]?” The Lord will work wonders within that person; so you
ought to preach the gospel definitely in order for the hearer’s mind to

22
be moved. The Lord works mightily and in a fiery way upon those who
preach the Lord’s Word. Signs will continue to be shown to new comers.
I will end the message here today.
