and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery. And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.
[Rev. 18:23-24]
The word “sorcery” in the original text means “the use or the administering of drugs.” It refers to divination by taking hallucinogens and seeing visions. “Sorcerers” are not only those who practise sorcery using God’s name and Jesus’ name; they are all who preach lies differing from the Bible using the Bible. They go around the world holding revival rallies in churches, and lay their hands on people’s heads and act as if they were the ones giving out blessings. They said “God bless you,” and deceived the congregation. The sorcerers are the ones who turn the Word of God into money–the root of all evil–and preach to fill up their desires. The leaders who collect large amounts of offerings are so popular that they are invited to churches here and there and pour out evil, deceiving the nations as the teaching demons. The congregation who are deceived by them follow them around and make offerings out of their desire to be like the rich pastors. The severe demons who deceived the nations of the world with sorcery are the pastors and priests who pretended to be holy “in Jesus’ name.” They acted as angels of light [2Cor. 11:14] while they themselves sat in Jesus Christ’s seat and God’s seat, and they made their heart like the heart of God [Ezek. 28:2].
Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
[Jude 1:11]
Sorcerers practise divination for money, and rush headlong into the error of Balaam. Teaching lies differing from the Bible using the Bible is also divination. Sorcery is divination without discerning spiritual thoughts with spiritual words, teaching and preaching by what people know by instinct. Balaam is Balak’s teacher. Balak inviting Balaam means an invitation to speak at a revival rally or a worship service in terms of today. Balaam does not teach the straight way; he sees the Bible by instinct, and leads people to error by teaching words of men, that is, words of Satan. That is called “sorcery.” Everything done in the home for demons is sorcery. Jezebel is a sorceress and a diviner who uses Jesus’ name. People who are husband and wife both working in the ministry are like Jezebel and King Ahab. The whole world, that is, the nations, has been deceived by such sorcery. Just because one says “Lord, Lord” with his mouth does not mean that he will receive God’s blessing and enter the kingdom of heaven.
Moses is a model and a shadow of Jesus Christ. Moses’ nephew “Korah” also is a model of the rebellious leaders who call on only Jesus and God while forming factions and sitting on Jesus Christ’s seat [Num. 16]. The words in the Book of Jude are prophesying about those who take the Bible by their unreasoning instinct and are destroyed forever for teaching it.
Who Are “The Riders” and Those Who Trust in “The Horse”?
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.
[Rev. 19:11]
There are people who imitate these verses in reality, despite not knowing what the Bible means by “he who sat on a white horse.” To know what “white horse” means in the Bible, one must first discern spiritual thoughts with spiritual words about “horse.” Once “the mystery of horse” is revealed, the truth about Babylon–the home for demons that teaches lies differing from the Bible–is also revealed.
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help And rely on horses, And trust in chariots because they are many And in horsemen because they are very strong, But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the Lord! … Now the Egyptians are men and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit; So the Lord will stretch out His hand, And he who helps will stumble And he who is helped will fall, And all of them will come to an end together.
[Isa. 31:1, 3]
“Their horses are flesh and not spirit.” This means “people” who are in the fleshly body and not “horses” that people know by instinct. People who were compared to “horses” are the ones who are written of in Jude 1:10: “these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.” It means seeing and believing the Bible at the human level according to their desires. “Instinct” means “the natural impulse by which animals are guided apparently independently of reason or experience.” People in their pomp yet without understanding are people who call on God and Jesus with their mouths yet having no understanding of the Truth hidden in the Bible. God has compared them to be like the animals that are destroyed by what they know by instinct. In the period when the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, everyone added sin upon sin by preaching and believing what they saw by instinct, that is, by their nature [Gal. 3:22-23].
However, now is the Day of the LORD and the Day of the Son of Man. In this age, God exposes such people for what they are. They deceive with sorceries even as they call on Jesus’ name and God’s name. For the past 14 years I, the Spirit of Truth Reverend Okjoo Shin, have been waging spiritual war against the nations that were deceived [Rev. 19:11-16]. This prophecy which was written 1,930 years ago is now being fulfilled in reality.
“Now the Egyptians are men and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit.” All humans who do not trust in the LORD God who is their Maker will physically die. Death is not the end; their “souls” will enter eternal punishment. Thus, it is time to discern how mad it is to say “God the Son and God the Spirit” and to say “Only Jesus,” and “only by the blood of Jesus.” He who trusts in man does not believe in God. All who trusts in people, meaning, all who trusts in horses and their rider will die.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.
[Psa. 32:8-9]
“Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding.” This does not mean the animals that people know by instinct such as a horse or a mule; it means “people.” “The horse” and “the mule” that God speaks of are people who do not understand the Word of God. Mules are the sons of men who have no understanding of the Truth, despite living religiously with the Bible all their lives. That is why God has said, “Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding.”
“Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check” A “bit” is a piece of metal held in the mouth of a horse or a mule by reins and used to control it. That is why God said, “A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools” [Prov. 26:3]. Thus, “the fool” was compared to “horses, donkeys and mules.” The most effective prevention measure against the COVID-19 pandemic has been to wear a mask over the mouth, because God has been reining in the people who are like the mules with a bridle in their mouths. From now on, they will never be able to open their mouths again. It is God’s punishment for the whole world to be silent before Him.
These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted.
[Jude 1:12]
“These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you.” This means the people who are not chosen like Cain, the gluttons who are like Balaam, the sorcerers, the people who practise the rebellion of Korah are together with us inside Christianity as they call upon God and Jesus. They have been hidden reefs that persecuted this work for the past 14 years, when I proclaimed the eternal gospel, the Word of the new covenant. The new covenant can solve all problems of the world. It is the way to eternal happiness and eternal success that all humans have hoped for since creation. No word on earth can fully describe the value of this covenant. “The hidden reefs” that obstruct people from receiving the unprecedented new covenant are the people who were not born again of the Word of God who taught the Bible by what people know by instinct. They became a fatal hidden reef as a result.
“Autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted” These people are physically alive, yet why did God say that they are “doubly dead”? “The dead” means people who are spiritually dead as written in Revelation 3:1: “You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.” In human eyes, they all seem like they are alive. Yet one must understand that they are spiritually “dead” and sleeping a “spiritual slumber” in God’s sight.
By “doubly dead,” they are the people who bear Jesus’ name and go to church, and believe that they will go to heaven when their body dies. They are pastors who are spiritually blind, deaf and mute, preaching words set on fire by hell. “Those who are doubly dead” are also churchgoers who say “Amen” to such sermons. All of them imagine things about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, heaven and hell while going to church.
The Bible is the Truth. Churches that deceive the congregation spoke of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Apostles and the authors who recorded the Bible as stories of people who have long been physically dead. They also spoke of money which the people who belong to this world love. They laid their hands upon the heads of the congregation and acted as if they were the ones giving out blessings, claiming to bless people and heal the sick in Jesus’ name. Such a church is a home for demons. The leader in that church is a spirit of demons, a teaching demon, a sorcerer and the rider of horses. The horses are the congregation in such churches.
I declare to the whole world: Never again can people who are like the foolish horse and mule blaspheme the work of God. Let everyone sure of their knowledge and belief of the Bible, and all unbelievers who despise the work of God by trusting in the world’s power, honour and money be silent now before the Creator God.
