Second Advent – Two Olive Trees

Another Comforter means What?

“I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever”(John 14:16), Jesus said:

John 14:17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

As Jesus said, the most do not know what another Comforter means.
But, now, it is the time to reveal it!

It means the water of life in Rev. 21:6. As Jesus had said that “God shall give you another Comforter”, God directly promised in the Revelation that “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things.” So, it can be given to us freely, only through ‘him that overcometh’, treated as the Son of God, as written in Rev. 21:7 (Rev. 21:6~7):

6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

This is the truth not known even to Jesus when in earth. So, after reading the seven sealed book in the right hand of God, he sensed it (Rev. 5:1~7):

1. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

So, to notice this fact, Jesus called up John the Apostle. After that, up to 1955, Jesus had been waiting for the overcomer to give us the water of life (Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 26~28, 3:5, 12, 21).

This is the Truth of Jesus and God. This is for not discussion, but just announcing the Holy Message to all Christians around the world.

Just after the overcomer, as the spiritual Jacob, fulfills 144,000(spiritual Israel) with the water of life, Jesus can come to earth again (Rev.7:9~11):

9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Indeed, Jesus is destined to sit upon the right hand of God, until God makes his foes his footstool, through ‘him that overcometh’ (Acts 2:34~35):

34. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35. Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

And, after the 144,000 fulfilled, the World War 3 is supposed to break out (Rev. 7:3~4):

3. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

This is the Truth, the words of Jesus.

Already, these words were written in the Revelation. But, these words have been sealed for circa two thousands years.

But, now, it’s time for these words to be revealed to all Christians around the world, through the Second Olive Tree standing before the God of the earth!

The Second Olive Tree, ‘he that overcometh’, preparing the Second Advent of Jesus

Most of all Christians are used to say that Jesus completed all things with the Crucifixion. If it’s true:

Why did Jesus call up John the Apostle at Patmos island?
Why are there still big troubles in earth?
Why doesn’t Jesus come yet?

Let me prove that the Crucifixion is not ‘the Necessary and Sufficient Condition’ but ‘the Necessary One’ for the Second Advent of Jesus. Indeed, there is the very Sufficient Condition almost unknown to most of all Christians.

There is the Sufficient Condition for the Second Advent of Jesus

After the resurrection and ascending, Jesus in heaven opened and read the seven sealed book in the right hand of God, ending up sensing that there is a condition to be fulfilled in advance for his second coming:

When Jesus opened the fifth seal, it was clearly unfolded why he could not come down yet. At that moment, John the Apostle saw that under the altar the souls of them, slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And, he heard that they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”

And so, it was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. From here, it is clearly sensed that the Second Advent of Jesus can be done, just when the righteous ones as the martyred spirits under the altar full up to some fixed number (Revelation 6:9~11):

9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Then, Jesus was not destined to complete that condition himself. But he was supposed to sit in his throne and wait, until his enemies being his footstool (Pslams 110:1, Luke 20:42~43):

Pslams 110:1. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool
Luke 20:42. And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Luke 20:43. Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

So, Jesus in heaven called up John at Patmos island, noticing him this condition and the fact that someone is needed to satisfy it instead of him.

Now, Jesus cannot come to earth, because the righteous 144,000 is not fulfilled yet

Right after having John write his messages, Jesus spoke – not once but seven times – to the seven churches in Asia. He was eagerly longing for the emerging of ‘him that overcometh’ (Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 26~28, 3:5, 12, 21):

In Rev.3:21, Jesus told an awesome covenant. He would grant, to sit his throne with him, to someone else to overcome. In addition to above seven words from Jesus, even God promised to hand over the inheritance of the fountain of the water of life and call him his son (Revelation 21:6~7):

6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Why Jesus and God give those enormous privileges to ‘him that overcometh’? From Rev. 2:26~27, it is possible to figure out what he is designated for (Revelation 2:26~27):

26. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

To him who overcame and kept Jesus’ works up to the end, Jesus promised the power over the nations, which had been given to Jesus by God. Here, it comes to mind that Jacob ‘overcame’ the pain to be the Israel, finally being the father of 12 tribes of Israel.

Therefore, it is definitely natural, and actually the Truth of God and Jesus that ‘he that overcometh’ becomes the very one, completing the spiritual 12 tribes, 144,000 sealed servants.

Now, ‘he that overcometh’ is fulfilling the righteous number, 144,000. But the number is not completed yet. Thus, Jesus cannot come down to the earth yet.

At 1955, after the Korean War, ‘He that Overcometh’ appeared in Seoul, Korea

For circa two millenniums, from the day of John at Patmos to 1955, Jesus eagerly had been waiting for ‘him that overcometh’ to appear (Rev. 2:7,11,17,26, 3:5,12,21).
It’s because only ‘he that overcometh’ – treated as a Son of God – can receive from God the inheritance of the fountain of the water of life, the Holy Spirit of Jesus ( Rev. 21:6~7):

This is the Truth that God and Jesus said to John the Apostle at the island, Patmos.
Meanwhile, amazingly, at 1955, after the Korean War, ‘He that Overcometh’ appeared in Seoul, Korea: At that time, the first one was about thirty, and the second one very young, circa 10 years old

‘He that Overcometh’, destined to play the role of the Olive Tree

As predicted in Hosea, ‘He that Overcometh’ – Israel – is destined to play the role of the Olive Tree (Hosea 14:5~7):

5. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

As said by God, they that dwell under his(= olive tree) shadow shall return to God.

The Spiritual Power of Two Olive Trees

Of course, they have the spiritual power as mentioned in Rev(11:5~6):

5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

So, Two Olive Trees, by giving their breathing into the water, can transform it into the living water with the Holy Spirit, the Blood of Jesus. And, to clean all kinds of sin, they can bless their followers by their hands and breathing.

The Second Olive Tree inviting you, all Christians around the World

Now, the Second Olive Tree has completed all the preparation to announce the Work of Two Olive Trees, the Providence of God; and he is inviting you, all Christians around the world.
Above all words are the very Truth that God and Jesus taught to the Second Olive Tree.

If you believe in the Bible, you should take a time to check this. If you read through articles in Two Olive Trees site, summarized from ‘the Holy Message of Jesus through the Second Olive Tree’, I convince, you can know clearly that it is true.

The Resurrection of Jesus

7. The Second Olive Tree is inviting you to ‘under his shadow’

The Sign of Jonas the prophet

There are many kinds of description about the resurrection. Then, especially to the Christians, it implies very invaluable meaning. Indeed, it cannot be emphasized too much that the first reason of the Christian believing comes from the Resurrection of Jesus. Among many things done by Jesus when in earth, the resurrection is definitely the most important. Referring to Jonah’s miracle, Jesus emphasized the importance of the resurrection. “This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet” (Luke 11:29, Jonah 1:17):

Luke 11:29. And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
Jonah 1:17. Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Actually, even though most people get used to death through the funeral of the dead, there must be none who directly witnesses the resurrection in their own eyes. Just, they seem to read or hear about the Resurrection of Jesus in the Bible.

Now, it is the very end time for the man, because, in earth, there appears the Second Olive Tree standing before God and Jesus. So, from him, both Christians and all other people are able to learn further about the resurrection in the Bible.

The flesh and blood unable to inherit the kingdom of God

Still, many people seem to understand the resurrection as being to reborn with the same body when in deathbed. Indeed, it is not correct. In the resurrection, his body is supposed to turn into the angel-like one (Matthew 22:30):

30. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Paul the Apostle said about the resurrection like this: “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption” (1 Corinthians 15:49~50):

49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

It is from the very trait of the resurrection that Mary could not recognize the resurrected Jesus. The resurrection is to reborn in not the body to be rotten, but the holy body not to be rotten (John 20:11~18):

11. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12. And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.
14. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

Also, two disciples couldn’t recognize the resurrected Jesus appeared in the way to a village called Emmaus ( Luke 24:13~16):

13. And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14. And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

The First Resurrection and the Second Resurrection

There are two kinds of resurrection, the First and the Second. Of course, there must be the death before the resurrection. So, it is easily understood that after the first death, the first resurrection comes and after the second death, the second resurrection.

Before the Resurrection of Jesus, after death, the hell always follows it (Revelation 6:8):

8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

So, all human beings dead before the Resurrection of Jesus could not help being taken into the hell by two devils. Sensing this, David the King eagerly wished. “Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption” (Acts 2:25~27):

25. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26. Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

The hell is just the world under the reigning of Satan. Paul the Apostle said that Satan is the prince of the power of the air. And, also, Jesus told to his disciples. “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Just this heaven or the air means the hell, the spiritual world under the reigning of Satan (Ephesians 2:2, Luke 10:18):

Ephesians 2:2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Luke 10:18. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Thus, there are three heavens. This universe with the earth is the first one, the hell is the second, and finally, the third heaven that Paul the Apostle confessed his being caught up to. It is the world where God and Jesus are staying (2 Corinthians 12:2):

2. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Indeed, since the expulsion from Eden, Satan has been interfering with the communication between the man and God. All human beings could not but be taken into the hell – the second heaven – by two devils. It comes from the power of death handed over to Satan, after Adam and Eve’s eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:6):

6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Therefore, even the saints – dead before the Resurrection of Jesus – could not help being taken to the hell. After the Resurrection, Jesus had the keys of hell and of death(Revelation 1:18):

18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

With this key of hell, Jesus saved the saints from the hell, eventually getting into the holy city in the third heaven. This holy scene was shown to Matthew the Apostle in his dream(Matthew 27:52~53):

52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

This means the first resurrection. It is written, in the Revelation 20:6, like this: “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection.” It’s due to the fact that they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years (Revelation 20:6):

6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The Second Olive Tree inviting you to the First Resurrection

Meanwhile, in the Two Olive Trees days, they that are called, and chosen, and faithful can receive another Comforter – the dew and living water, the blood of Jesus, ending up being accepted as the righteous ones “which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands.” So, they, after death, can participate at once in the first resurrection. They are supposed to be guided into the holy city by two angels, just like when Jesus ascending.

Among the righteous ones in the Two Olive Trees days, if alive until the Second Advent of Jesus, they can see his coming and turn into the holy body in the light of Jesus. Finally, they shall participate in the most honorable first resurrection (Revelation 17:14, 20:4~5):

17:14. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

It is just the realization of the foretold to Hosea by God: “They that dwell under his shadow shall return.” It is destined to come true because God gave ‘the inheritance of the fountain of the water of life’ to the second olive tree, ‘him that overcometh’ (Hosea 14:5~7, Revelation 21:6~7):

Hosea 14:5. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Hosea 14:6. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
Hosea 14:7. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

Revelation 21:6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Most of spirits taken to the hell after the first death should wait in the hell, until the last war between God and Satan finishes. After that, they are supposed to be judged by the righteous number – the hundred and forty and four thousand. Among them, many spirits written in the books was cast into the lake of fire. It is the second death. On the other hand, the spirits written in another book – the book of life – are destined to be alive in a new heaven and a new earth. It is the second resurrection. Therefore, it is easily sensed that the number of spirits written in another book – the book of life – is much smaller than that of them written in the books (Revelation 20:4~15, 21:1):

20:4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
20:5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
20:7. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
20:8. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
20:9. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
20:10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
20:11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
20:12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
20:13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
20:14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

21:1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

To summarize, God has been earnestly doing all things to produce the righteous number – one hundred and forty and four thousand, destined to participate in the first resurrection:

Since being expelled from the garden of Eden, God have chosen the righteous Noah, Abraham, and finally sent forth Jesus to the earth. And Jesus took the Cross, making ‘the fountain of the water of life’ in heaven. Now, it has been given to the Second Olive Tree – ‘him that overcometh’, fulfilling the rest of the righteous number to attend the first resurrection.

Two Olive Trees and He that Overcometh

7. The Second Olive Tree is inviting you to ‘under his shadow’

Two Olive Trees in the Revelation

In the Bible, there are four beings foretold by God: Jesus, John the Baptist, and Two Olive Trees. In Chapter 11 of Revelation, there is a scene that an angel talks to John the Apostle about two olive trees. The power which they have when in earth is described as follows: “These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will” (Revelation 11:4~6):

4. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

These two powers look like what Moses and Elias had when in earth: Moses had power over waters to turn them to blood, and Elias had power to shut heaven, not to rain. Considering this scene, someone often insists. “Therefore, two olive trees mean Moses and Elias.” But the Revelation was given to John the Apostle, showing things which must shortly come to pass. So, two olive trees could not be Moses and Elias, because they had already passed away when John the Apostle received the Revelation (Revelation 1:1):

1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

Actually, the power given to two olive trees means the spiritual one. They can close or reopen heaven, in order to stop or resume the coming down of the Holy Spirit like dew or rain. It seems like what Elias had when in earth. Also, they can breathe the Holy Spirit into water, turning it into the living water with the blood of Jesus. It looks like what Moses had when in earth.

Two Olive Trees in the Zechariah

Meanwhile, two olive trees are foretold not only in the Revelation but also in the Zechariah. In there, it was written for them that these are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth (Zechariah 4:14):

14. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.

As forementioned in the Revelation 11:4, this phrase also shows that two olive trees stand by the LORD of the whole earth. From these two phrases, it is easily sensed that God destined them to do the very crucial work for him, the Providence of God.

One day, an angel appeared to Zechariah the Prophecy, and show him a candlestick – all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof – and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. And, he asked Zechariah. “Knowest thou not what these be?” Zechariah answered to him. “No, my lord” (Zechariah 4:2~5):

2. And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3. And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4. So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5. Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

Thereupon, the angel started to explain it to him, referring the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.”

And, he said to Zechariah that moreover the word of the LORD came unto him. It was saying, “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it.” Additionally, the angel told to Zechariah. “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven. They are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth” (Zechariah 4:6~10):

6. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9. The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10. For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

In these talks between Zechariah and the angel, God was explaining in similitudes about what two olive trees should do in the future, through overlapping it with the role of Zerubbabel. In it, great mountain means iniquity of that land, and it implies, as great mountain becomes a plain before Zerubbabel, iniquity on the earth is supposed to be removed with hands of two olive trees in one day (Zechariah 3:9):

9. For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Just like the first olive tree, the second olive tree has been cleansing away many kinds of sin of his followers with his hands. As Zerubbabel finished the temple with his hands, the second olive tree is also destined to fulfill the hundred and forty and four thousand, the Lamb’s wife, ending up completing the holy city, new Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2, 9~10):

2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

9. And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

To accomplish this mission, he is holding – in his hands – a white stone with a new name and seven eyes, just like the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with seven eyes. It is because the role of olive tree is supposed to be played by ‘him that overcometh’, the overcomer (Hosea 14:5~6):

In the meantime, there are a few calling himself the overcomer, entirely not referring to two olive trees. Surely, they are false prophets. Of course, even if speaking about two olive trees, without spiritual powers from God and Jesus, they are also false prophets.

Even though choosing the overcomer to play the role of olive tree, Jesus promised to introduce him to God and his angels. It is because two olive trees were foretold directly by God, and also very crucial to the Providence of God (Revelation 3:5):

5. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Meanwhile, in addition to that, God gives the overcomer the inheritance of the fountain of the water of life, and treats him as his son (Revelation 21:6~7):

Zechariah said to the angel. “What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?” Then, the angel answered to him. “These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth”. It means, two olive trees were designated to do work for the LORD of the whole earth, the Providence of God (Zechariah 4:11~14):

11. Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12. And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13. And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.

Two Olive Trees fight against the Beast

Now, returning to the Revelation, let’s take a look into two olive trees in there. As mentioned before, they are determined to do the Providence of God with great spiritual power. If fulfilling with it an hundred and forty and four thousand, the number of righteous saints, two olive trees reign with both the righteous number and Christ a thousand years.

After the thousand years passed, two olive trees and the righteous saints are supposed to fight against the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit, and be defeated, ending up suffering severely. At this time, two olive trees shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Then, about these things, the Revelation 11:9 describes in the way that their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city three days and an half. Needless to say, this shall happen in spiritual world, after the thousand years expired. So, actually, they are not dead. It means, the power of them is going to be scattered. But, after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet (Revelation 11:3~13):

3. And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11. And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

In Chapter 12 of Daniel, Daniel saw a very intriguing scene. There stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And, upon the waters of the river, there is another man clothed in linen. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river. “How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?” Upon that, the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever: “It shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished” (Daniel 12:5~7):

5. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7. And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

The bottom line is, all of ‘a thousand two hundred and threescore days’ in the Revelation 11:3, ‘three days and an half’ in the Revelation 11:9, and ‘a time, times, and an half’ in the Daniel 12:7 commonly mean just the duration, when two olive trees and the hundred and forty and four thousand – after being defeated by the beast ascending from the bottomless pit – are scheduled for being suffered.

In Daniel 12:5, of two ones on both sides of the bank of the river, the one standing without asking stands for the first olive tree. In the earth, after the Crucifixion of Jesus, he is the very first person receiving ‘the hidden manna’ – the dew and living water, and sowing seeds in the temple.

Meanwhile, the other one – asking about the end of these wonders to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river – represents the second olive tree. So, besides ‘the hidden manna’, he receives ‘a white stone with a new name’ containing the secret of the end time. It is what no man knows saving he that receives it (Revelation 2:17):

17. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

He is destined to complete the righteous number, 144,000, the Providence of God for this time, reaping the harvest of the earth in the temple (Revelation 14:14~16):

14. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

In Daniel 12:6, the man clothed in linen symbolizes Jesus. He is explaining about when the last war finishes between God and Satan. This is what angel shows to Daniel things that happen in far distant future, the end time. Indeed, the scene of Daniel 12:6~7 was realized from Jesus giving ‘a white stone with the new name’ to the second olive tree.

Now, it’s the Second Olive Tree days

Absolutely, it is certain that the mission of two olive trees is the very Providence of God. Even though the first olive tree getting wrong badly, in order to remedy the hurt from his faults, the second olive tree appears after the first one, finally completing the mission of two olive trees.

At 1955, in Wonhyoro, western district of Seoul, Korea, the first olive tree appeared and started to do the mission of two olive trees. But, after three years, he started to insist ‘the Good and Bad Conditions’. “When under the good condition, only one olive tree is needed. And, when bad, two olive trees are needed.” It was derailing from the right way determined 2,600 years ago by God. No matter what happens, the mission of two olive trees is determined to be done by, not one or two, but always two overcomers.

Then, Jesus ordered the first olive tree to hand over his authority to the second olive tree. But, he did not obey. So, Jesus had the second olive tree do his work separately in Cheongnyangni, eastern region of Seoul, Korea. Therefore, unsmoothly realized was the foretold of Zechariah: “But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be” (Zechariah 14:7~8):

7. But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

On the other hand, there are a few of people, saying like this: “Should the first olive tree be he that overcometh. why couldn’t he accept the order of Jesus? So, it is the proof that the mission of two olive trees is not the Providence of God.” But, this comes from their ignorance about the Bible.

In the Old Testament days, there is Saul the King anointed, through Samuel the Prophecy, by God. Many times, he disobeyed the words of God, ending up having God repent about setting up him to be king. So, God anointed young David, reserving him to be the king of Israel in the future (1Samuel 15:11, 16:1, 12~13):

15:11. It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

16:1. And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

16:12. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
16:13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

Unfortunately, just like the conflicting of Saul and David, the similar trouble arose between two olive trees:

God simultaneously anointed the first olive tree and the young second olive tree. No matter what happens, exactly as written in the Bible, the mission of two olive trees is to be done by two olive trees – two ‘him that overcometh’. Insisting the good and bad conditions, the first olive tree preached: “When the good condition, only one olive tree is needed and when bad, two olive trees are needed.” It was the fatal fault to wittingly modify God’s words in the Bible. From this fault, the first olive tree got lost favor in God’s eyes.

And, just like Saul the King trying to kill David, the first olive tree also attempted to remove the second olive tree. Using the political atmosphere of Korea under the martial law, he purposely put the false charge of violation of anti-communism law to the second olive tree, making him go to jail. But God and Jesus protected him, not being sentenced to death and finally being free (1Samuel 19:1):

1. And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

The second olive tree is prepared to restore the fault of the first one, fulfilling the righteous number, ending up casting Satan into the bottomless pit. After that, the Second Advent of Jesus comes true and the Millennium Kingdom is established for God.

No matter what, as predicted in the Hosea, it is determined to come true that they that dwell under his shadow of the olive tree shall return (Hosea 14:5~7):

5. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

0. The Bible is not for man, but for God

Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Since the Renaissance, humanism and science have been looked like a kind of truth to explain all about the man and nature. This atmosphere has been tempting even Christians into seeing the Bible from the view of human beings. Therefore, many Christians have got used to interpret many phrases in the Bible from the perspective of the man. Finally, it ends up being unable to grasp the intention of God.

The Holy Bible, Words of God, contains the very secret strategies and tactics for defeating Satan, the enemy of God. It is not the plan for man but for God, to fordo Satan through the man. To rightly understand the Bible, it is very essential to read it from God’s view, not from the man’s.

Thus, it needs to learn the holy words from the one anointed directly by God and Jesus. Even Satan, spiritual one, could not see the secret about Jesus in the Bible, ending up nailing Jesus on the Cross. It caused Satan destined to be defeated in the final war. Actually, it is impossible that human being, flesh one, correctly understand the Bible by his own efforts.

Paul the Apostle, called up to the third heaven to get the mission from Jesus, boldly emphasized. “If preaching other words, not his holy words from Jesus, any one – even the angel – could not but being cursed” (Galatians 1:7~8):

7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Seven blogs in ‘Truth’ category are very much so, actually even much more than Paul’s. This is not from human’s thinking and researching. It is just the summarized one from the holy words given, by God and Jesus, to the anointed ‘him that overcometh’.

If you are searching out the truth with open mind, please read the next seven blogs up to the end. Then, it becomes crystal clear that this is the Truth, just what you have been trying to find until now.

7. The Second Olive Tree is inviting you to ‘under his shadow’

6. Who is preparing the Second Advent of Jesus?

So far, it has been unfolded, through questions and answers, what God have done and shall do. In a nutshell, God created the man, and has chosen the righteous ones, cleaning them with the blood of Jesus, finally having them defeat Satan the devil and his followers.

If the righteous soldiers are fulfilled up to an hundred and forty and four thousand, Jesus comes down again, and reigns with them for a thousand years. In the meantime, an angel casts Satan into the bottomless pit, and shut them up for a thousand years.

When the thousand years is expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, the bottomless pit, and fight against the righteous soldiers. But Satan the devil is doomed to be defeated and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are. In there, they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Meanwhile, Hosea the Prophet in the Old Testament predicted that Israel is supposed to receive the dew from God, and becomes as the olive tree. Here, Israel means ‘spiritual Jacob’, ‘he that overcometh’ – the overcomer.

So, it is natural that the overcomer becomes the olive tree, who is the anointed one standing by the Lord of the whole earth, and actually has the following spiritual powers: “The fire proceedeth out of their mouth devoureth their enemies, the power to shut heaven, and the power over waters to turn them to blood” (Zechariah 4:11~13, Revelation 11:5~6):

Zechariah 4:11. Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
Zechariah 4:12. And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
Zechariah 4:13. And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah 4:14. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
Revelation 11:5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation 11:6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will..

At 1955, just after the Korean War, the overcomer – the first olive tree – appeared in South Korea, alias ‘the Illumination in the East’ or ‘the Land of the Morning calm’. And, at the same time, the second olive tree was secretly anointed by Jesus.

Amazingly, it was nearly two thousand years, after Jesus longing for ‘him that overcometh’ in the Revelation.

Thereupon, with great joy, Jesus gave the first olive tree ‘the hidden manna’ and the second olive tree ‘a white stone with a new name’ with the inheritance of ‘the fountain of the water of life’.

Now, about sixty years after the emerging of two olive trees, the second olive tree has completed all the preparation to announce, to the world, the Providence of God for this time. That is what John the Apostle was forced to not write and seal up. It means ‘a little book’ upon the hand of ‘the mighty angel’ (Revelation 10:1~4):

1. And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2. And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

As Hosea foretold, if dwelling under the shadow of the olive tree, eating the hidden manna, and learning the new name on the white stone, all of you shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine, ending up returning to God (Hosea 14:5~7):

The overcomer, the second olive tree has been fulfilling the rest of the number, 144,000, with the inheritance of the fountain of the water of life. And, now, he is inviting all of you around the world to ‘under his shadow’:

Regardless of nationality, race, age, and gender, you should try to look into, with your own eyes, the Providence of God realized by the second olive tree – the overcomer.

6. Who is preparing the Second Advent of Jesus?

5. When does Jesus come again?

Before getting to the point, let’s remind of the condition for the second coming of Jesus. In the Revelation, when Jesus opened the fifth seal, it was clearly shown why he could not come down yet. The Second Advent could be done, just when fellow servants of the martyred spirits – under his altar – and brothers of them full up to the number, one hundred and forty and four thousand (Revelation 6:9~11, 7:4):

6:9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
6:10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
6:11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
7:4. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

When that number completed, Jesus would come again to judge and avenge his and his servants’ blood on them, dwelling on the earth and doing all kinds of crimes and bad things.

Then, Jesus was not destined to complete the number himself. But he was supposed to sit in his throne and wait, until his enemies being his footstool (Pslams 110:1, Luke 20:42~43):

Pslams 110:1. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool
Luke 20:42. And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Luke 20:43. Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

If so, who get the mission to make enemies his footstool? To figure out this, it would be helpful to reflect upon Jacob in the Old Testament. He was destined to be the father of twelve sons, patriarchs of twelve tribes of the Israel. It is a famous episode that he wrestled with an angel. Actually, Jacob did not win but overcame the severe pain from the wrestling. The hollow of his thigh was out of joint by the angel. In so doing, he finally won the name, Israel. It means overcome or win (Genesis 32:24~28):

24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob
28. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

Meanwhile, it is quite common to Christians that Abraham is able to be compared to God, and Isaac to Jesus. If so, who could be similar to Jacob and destined to keep Jesus’ work unto the end, completing the number? Before, it was already explained why John – in the island, Patmos – had been lifted up to the Heaven by Jesus. For preparing his second coming, Jesus took him up and gave his messages (Revelation 1:9~11):

9. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11. Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Right after having John write his messages, Jesus spoke – not once but seven times – to the seven churches in Asia. He was eagerly longing for the emerging of someone else that overcomes (Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 26~28, 3:5, 12, 21):

2:7. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

2:11. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

2:17. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

2:26. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
2:27. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
2:28. And I will give him the morning star.

3:5. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

3:12. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

3:21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

In Rev.3:21, Jesus told an ostentatious covenant. He would grant, to sit his throne with him, to someone else to overcome. In addition to above seven words from Jesus, even God promised to hand over the inheritance of the fountain of the water of life and call him his son (Revelation 21:6~7):

Why Jesus and God give those enormous privileges to him that overcomes? From Rev. 2:26~27, it is possible to figure out what he is designated for (Revelation 2:26~27):

Therefore, it is definitely natural, and actually the Truth of God and Jesus that ‘he that overcometh’ becomes the very one, completing the spiritual 12 tribes, 144,000 sealed servants. He is supposed to work with another angel, ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God (Revelation 7:2~4):

2. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

The selected and sealed ones are supposed to be taught and nourished, by him who overcomes, with a white stone and the water of life (Revelation 2:17, 21:6~7):

2:17. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
21:6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

When sealed servants being ripe, he is supposed to reap them – the harvest of the earth in a temple – with a sharp sickle to complete the number, 144,000 (Revelation 14:14~15):

Then, the enemies shall be the footstools of Jesus. An angel comes down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And, he lays hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. On the other hand, the 144,000 sealed servants reunite with Jesus and reign with Christ a thousand years (Revelation 20:1~4):

1. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

After a thousand years, Satan shall be loosed from his prison, the bottomless pit, and fight against the saints. But, they are destined to be defeated and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, ending up being tormented day and night for ever and ever (Revelation 20:7~10):

7. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

7. The Second Olive Tree is inviting you to under his shadow

5. When does Jesus come again?

4. Why did God send Jesus?

In a highly developed materialistic age, the world becomes more insane and cruel, falling into extremely chaotic status. In this atmosphere, there are none except Holy Words in the Bible, for all Christians to resort to in relief. By the way, a big question comes across our mind. Already long time ago, all kind of crimes and bad things overflowing in this world, why isn’t Jesus coming again, up to now?

To answer this biggest mystery in the world, it seems very essential to peer into the Bible, especially the Revelation. But, when talking about it with some Christians, it may come to somewhat awkward mood: Frequently, most of them contend. “Jesus completed all things through his crucifixion. So, it is not so necessary to discuss about the Revelation.”

Whenever these situations were set up, it used to happen, asking to them like this: “Really, do you think that it was needless for Jesus to call John the Apostle up to the Heaven? And, do you think the Revelation is not relevant to you?” But, there were none, if believing in Jesus, who confidently answered “yes” to it. Maybe, because Jesus said that if any man shall add unto these things or take away, God shall add unto him the plagues and take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book (Revelation 22:18~19):

18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Indeed, to know why Jesus is not coming yet, it seems very proper to consider the Revelation, the messages from Jesus in heaven, not from Jesus when in earth.
Before getting into the Revelation, let’s take a look at the Matthew’s book in the Bible. When in earth, Jesus gave many words to his disciples about his second coming (Matthew 10:23, 24:34~35):

10:23. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24:34. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
24:35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Jesus earnestly hoped for his early second coming, longing for reuniting with his disciples and followers. But, he could not but confess that no one knew the day and hour of his second coming, except his Father (Matthew 24:36):

36. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Whatever it is, two thousand years have gone after his ascending. Now, more than ever, all Christians in the world are longing very much for his Second Advent. But, it has been unknown that there is a critical condition to be fulfilled for his coming. To know what the condition is, let’s make a scrutiny into the Revelation.

In the Apostolic Age, the disciples and followers also longed very much, further than us, for Jesus coming. Needless to say, so did Jesus in the Heaven. After many years from his ascending, Jesus called John – the Apostle captured in Patmos island – up to the Heaven, and gave him a message to send to the seven churches in Asia (Revelation 1:9~11):

John the Apostle saw, in the right hand of God, a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And, he saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice. “Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? No man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.” Thus, he wept much. Indeed, he worried that Jesus might not get that book. But, of course, it was given to Jesus for his bleeding on the Cross (Revelation 5:1~5):

1. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Right here, it’s crystal clear that this book was not known to Jesus when in earth (Revelation 5:2~5). Of course, it was so to the disciples and his followers.

Whenever each seal was opened, John could see many images (Revelation 6:1~2):

1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

When Jesus opened the fifth seal, it was clearly unfolded why he could not come down yet. At that moment, John the Apostle saw that under the altar the souls of them, slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And, he heard that they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”

And so, it was said unto them that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. From here, it is clearly sensed that the Second Advent of Jesus can be done, just when martyred spirits under the altar full up to some fixed number (Revelation 6:9~11):

9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

After that, it was appeared that four angels were holding the four winds of the earth, helping another angel seal the servants of our God in their foreheads, filling up to the number mentioned above. The exact number fulfilling for Jesus second coming is 144,000 (Revelation 7:1~4):

1. And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

When completed the number, Jesus is supposed to come again to judge and avenge his and his servants’ blood on them, dwelling on the earth and doing all kinds of crimes and bad things.

In reality, the number is not fulfilled yet. So, until now, Jesus cannot make the Second Advent.

6. Who is preparing the Second Advent of Jesus?

4. Why did God send Jesus?

3. Why did God choose Abraham?

In the Old Testament days, according to God’s guiding, the blood of animals like dove, sheep, and bullock had been offered to God, to clean the crimes of human beings. But, it was intrinsically impossible that these offerings clear out their sins perfectly.

It is clearly shown through the scene that God showed to Zechariah the prophet. In it, Joshua the high priest was clothed with filthy garments, because Satan made him dirty. God rebuked Satan for it and ordered the angel standing before him to take away the filthy garments from him and clothe him with change of raiment (Zechariah 3:1~5):

1. And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2. And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath
chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3. Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
5. And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

And, he told about one stone. “Behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day” (Zechariah 3:9):

After this, about five hundred years passed, God sent his own son, Jesus, in the flesh, to the earth (Matthew 2:1):

1. Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Jesus came down to the earth, ending up offering, on the Cross, the blood of himself to God. Then, the graves opened, many bodies of the saints which slept arose, coming out of the graves after his resurrection, and finally going into the holy city (Matthew 27:50~53):

50. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Even the saints in the Old Testament time, due to their original and inherited sin, could not directly go into the holy city. So, they had no choice but to be waiting in hell. The King David, looking ahead to this, prayed to God. “You will not leave my soul in hell” (Psalms 16:10, 30:3):

16:10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
30:3. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Thanks to Jesus taking up the Cross, they could come out of hell, and finally go into the holy city (John 14:6):

6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

It was possible just from the keys of hell and of death, which Jesus attained after resurrecting and ascending to heaven (Revelation 1:18):

18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

The Holy Spirit from the blood of Jesus is basically different from fire or dove like ones. John the Baptist, baptizing with water, predicted. “He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.” Indeed, his baptizing with water was supposed to show ahead the water-like trait of the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:8):

8. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

In the conversation with a woman of Samaria, Jesus said to her. “I shall give him the water, whosoever drinking and never thirsting”. This water is the very Holy Spirit of Jesus (John 4:13~14):

13. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying. “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

And, John the Apostle explained further about that: (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
It was supposed to emphasize again that the Holy Spirit given after the Cross looks like ‘living water’ (John 7:37~39):

37. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Also, another Comforter, promised to be given by Jesus praying the Father, means just that water-like Holy Spirit (John 14:16):

16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

After Jesus resurrecting and ascending to heaven, when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they the Apostles and followers were all with one accord in one place. Then, there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them (Acts 2:1~3):

1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

They, after this, went out and boldly preached about Jesus and his teachings. Among ones listening to their words, others mocking said about them. “These men are full of new wine.” But, it was not from wine, but because they turned red with fiery holy spirit (Acts 2:13):

13. Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

By the way, these cloven tongues like as of fire were not the one promised by Jesus when in earth. It was just the fiery spirit appeared frequently before, even in the Old Testament days (1 Kings 18:38):

38. Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

Should fiery spirit be the very one promised by Jesus when in earth, it was definitely needless that Jesus, later on, called up John the Apostle and said. “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,” (Revelation 2:17):

Because ‘the hidden manna’ means ‘the bread which cometh down from heaven’, the spiritual flesh of Jesus; a man may eat it, ending up not dying (John 6:49~51):

49. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Also, God said to him. “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. ‘He that overcometh’ shall inherit all things” (Revelation 21:6~7):

These ‘the hidden manna’ and ‘water of life’ are just ‘the water never thirst’ and ‘rivers of living water’ promised by Jesus when in earth. All these things mean just ‘another Comforter’ to be given by Jesus praying the Father, God.

However, to give it freely to all human beings, as God said to John the Apostle in the Revelation, it is absolutely needed that ‘he that overcometh’ appears.

Thus, at the day of Pentecost, the Apostles and followers could not receive the water-like Holy Spirit of Jesus, able to remove all sins in a day. It is not only because it was far earlier than when John the Apostle received the Revelation, but also because ‘he that overcometh’ did not appear at that time.

So, instead of the water-like Holy Spirit, Jesus could not but send fiery siprits, coming down frequently before, even in the Old Testament days.

As a result, unable to be cleaned out completely, the Apostles could not but be martyred, just like the saints in the Old Testament days, finally coming up to heaven by the keys of hell and death of Jesus(Revelation 1:18):

18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

The bottom line is, it was just why God sent Jesus to the earth, to make a stone with seven eyes for removing the iniquity of that land in one day(Zechariah 3:9):

So, John the Apostle could see a Lamb with seven eyes, Jesus after resurrecting and ascending (Revelation 5:6):

6. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

The seven eyes on a stone – a Lamb, Jesus – are the seven Spirits of God, the perfect Holy Spirit sent forth into all the earth, to remove the iniquity of that land in one day. It is ‘the fountain of the water of life’ to be inherited to ‘him that overcometh’.

5. When does Jesus come again?

3. Why did God choose Abraham?

2. Why did God create man?

Since creating the man, God have done many things, such as choosing Noah, Abraham, and establishing the Israel, and until now, fulfilling a certain number of the righteous saints to destroy Satan:

In the days of Noah, God lamented over all the earth covered with the sin, ending up destroying it with the Deluge (Genesis 6:12~13):

12. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Since then, through the righteous family of Noah, God had made human beings prosperous newly in the earth (Genesis 9:1~2):

1. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and replenish the earth.
2. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

After a long time passed, God called Abraham, from Ur of the Chaldees, looking good to God (Genesis 12:1):

1. Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee:

God gave him the enormous and honorable blessing, “I will make of you a great nation, bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.” As a result, Abraham was destined to bear Isaac, giving birth to Jacob, who produced twelve sons to become each patriarch of twelve tribes of the Israel. finally, from them, the Israel, a great nation was established (Genesis 12:2):

2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

One day, Abraham learned of a very fearful notice from God, “Sodom and Gomorrah will be destroyed, because their sin is very grievous.” Then, he pleaded with God, saying “will you also destroy the righteous with the wicked?” In this imploring, God accepted the condition for sparing them, suggested by Abraham, the fifty righteous in there. Unfortunately, there were no such a large number of the righteous. Finally, because of Abraham’s dearest pleading, it decreased up to ten (Genesis 18:20~24, 32~33):

20. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21. I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24. Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
32. And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
33. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

But, sensing there were not even ten righteous, he gave up pleading with God. This must be a very astonishing scene, clearly showing how precious even one righteous is to God.

Later on, God called Abraham again, testing his belief. He ordered Abraham to kill Isaac for a burnt offering to himself (Genesis 22:1~2):

1. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Seeing that Abraham truly intended to kill Isaac, God could not but admit his amazing belief and bless him hugely, because it was a great glory and consolation to God, intending to send down his own son for the rite of blood on the Cross (Genesis 22:16~18):

16. And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Here, it is easily understood that Noah and Abraham had an important common virtue, Both of them were the very righteous to God.

To make a long story short, it is the very goal of choosing Abraham that, through the righteous him, God intended to establish the Israel to send his son for the Cross. It was just the step stone to produce many righteous with the blood of Jesus (Isaiah 11:10):

10. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

It is a common sense that the Old Testament is regarded as the mirror of the New Testament: Abraham tends to be compared to God, Isaac to Jesus. If so, who could be compared to Jacob? It will be answered naturally in the following chapters.

4. Why did God send Jesus?
