「What They Saw Before Rebuilding the Temple」
(Ez 47:1-8)

Introduction – Question [Restoration of Essence] because they failed to restore the essence
1. Three temples X
2. Ark of the Covenant X
3. Moses – Canaan X
4. Original X
5. World church X

Main
1. God’s presence – Mission “He took me and led me”
1) Jeremiah 33:1-9
2) Isaiah 6:1-13
3) Ezekiel 37:1-11
[Babylon field]
[In advance]

2. The power of God and the Word “Everything the water from the temple flows into is revived.”
1) Isaiah 40:1-31
2) Ezekiel 37:1-11
3) Ezekiel 47:1-8
[Always]

3. Fullness of the Holy Spirit – Enjoying everything 300% 1 time/day
1) Genesis 41:38 2 Chronicles (?)
2) 1 Samuel 16:13
3) 2 Kings 2:9-11 3 times
Daniel 6:10, 20, 22

Ezekiel 47:1-8

01 He brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.
02 He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.
03 As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep.
04 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist.
05 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in — a river that no one could cross.
06 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river.
07 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.
08 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh.”

Summary

He said that He had already given the land of Canaan to Moses and Joshua. I must be established there. That is the important path to receiving answers. As the temple construction was slow, we found the message of the three ages. Because we receive answers according to what we have seen, and because our future becomes what we have seen, what was seen before the temple rebuilding is important.

▣ Introduction_ Because they failed to restore the essence of the question

1. Three temples X – The reason God removed the three temples
2. Ark of the Covenant X – The reason He removed the ark of the covenant
3. Moses – Canaan X – The reason He called Moses away before entering Canaan
4. Original X – The reason He removed the original manuscripts of the Bible
5. World church X – The reason He is causing world churches to close

▣ Main

When placed in an urgent situation, one comes to realize three things. Those who have received answers are the ones who realized these three things first.

1. God’s Presence – Mission “He took me and led me”

1) Jeremiah 33:1-9 – The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” He spoke of restoration.
2) Isaiah 6:1-13 – He came with the power of the throne and said, “It is not you, but the Remnant.”
3) Ezekiel 37:1-11 – “Prophesy the word. Prophesy the breath of life.”

Babylon field – The people who understood these words brought about history in the Babylon field.
In advance – He already knew this in advance. He already stood before God now. He entered Babylon carrying these words.

2. The Power of God and the Word “Everything the water from the temple flows into is revived.”

1) Isaiah 40:1-31 – “The word of the Lord stands forever. Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
2) Ezekiel 37:1-11 – “Can these bones live?” “Prophesy.”
3) Ezekiel 47:1-8 – Power appeared wherever the word flowed.

Always – The person who always enjoys this changes the world.

3. Fullness of the Holy Spirit – Enjoying everything 300%. The fullness of the Holy Spirit that completely entrusts oneself to God.

1) Genesis 41:38 – “One in whom the Spirit of the Lord is”
2) 1 Samuel 16:13 – “One moved by the Spirit of the Lord”
3) 2 Kings 2:9-11 – “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.”

Daniel 6:10, 20, 22 – Daniel was always enjoying this, three times a day.

▷ Those who moved emperors were the Remnants. That is the fullness of the Holy Spirit. The Remnant is a person who is always praying. The evangelism disciple who moves the world does that work always within prayer. One must experience it. The power to change the world arises.

▣ Conclusion

1. First build the three ages within yourself – one who knows what the gospel, prayer, and evangelism are (the three-day weekend age); must save the multi-ethnic, the sick, and the Remnant (the three courtyard age); must save those in spiritual problems fallen into idolatry and the Nephilim age (the holy meditation age).
2. Within the church
3. In the field

▷ Faith and vision are when what is far away is right before your eyes. What you see today and what you pray today is the future. Begin the time of morning (restoration), afternoon (confirmation), evening (300% masterpiece).

Transcript

In Seoul, a large church is using this hymn of ours as their school anthem. I checked and they said they use it because they love it so much. Those people also use the word Remnant. But in the sense that they are not following us, they changed the “Rem” in Remnant to “Ram” on the outside. Anyway, it is good. They read the Bible well.

The first and most important thing in receiving answers to prayer is — it may seem like a strange word, but He said He had already given the land of Canaan to Moses. I must be established there. It is also a somewhat difficult statement, but that is the important path to receiving answers. He also told Joshua to be strong and courageous. He said He had already given this land. Mentioning those places, He said He had given them everywhere they set their feet. Jonah was running away, and while praying inside the belly of the fish, Jonah was wrong about everything but got one thing right. If you read the book of Jonah, you will see that Jonah did not pray, “Please rescue me from inside this.” He said, “Thank you for rescuing me from the snares of death.” That is how it came out.

Though it seems like a difficult story, when I came here I began with receiving the answer that disciples from all over the world would gather and worship. It is also a great blessing that the temple construction did not happen quickly. During that time we found all of our very important messages. Simply put, we found the three ages. If we had built the temple quickly, we might have missed them. That is very important.

“What Was Seen Before the Temple Rebuilding” (Ezekiel 47:1-8)

What was seen before the temple today. The temple was rebuilt, but there is something that was seen before that. This is very important. Because we receive answers according to what we have seen. And because our future becomes what we have seen.

▣ Introduction_ Question

But we need to ask a few questions. We need to ask questions and find the answers.

1. Three temples X

Why did the three temples disappear? The first temple built, Solomon’s temple built by David. The rebuilt Zerubbabel’s temple. The great Herod’s temple built on an enormous scale later. They disappeared. More precisely, why did God remove them? We need to question and answer these things. Only then can we build the right temple.

2. Ark of the Covenant X

Also, why did He remove the ark of the covenant? God removed the ark of the covenant. So people are in a frenzy trying to find the ark of the covenant, but that is not God’s will. God removed it.

3. Moses – Canaan X

Also, Moses was not even sick, yet God prevented him from entering Canaan. He was called away before entering Canaan.

4. Original X

There is also another thing we need to question. The Word of God has been continuously recorded and prophesied and preserved until now. There are many copies made of it. But the originals disappeared. So now there are many recopied manuscripts. But the originals have disappeared. Why is that? You need to find the answer easily.

5. World Church X

If you do not know this, world churches are closing right now. Rather than saying world churches are closing, God is causing world churches to close. Why is that? We must absolutely question and answer this.

[Restoration of Essence]

The essence of the church must be restored. If those temples — the temples of Israel — existed even now, just as then, they would become idols. If the ark of the covenant existed, where should it be? Should it be in America? Should it be in Korea? This is no ordinary problem. In some sense it could even lead to war. So they have completely missed the essence and are doing something else. What if Moses had entered the land of Canaan at that time? What would have happened? Moses would become such a hero that the covenant would be diluted. What if the original manuscripts of the Bible were found? In which church would you place them? In which country would you place them? That is also a problem. So they have completely missed the essence. Therefore the situation in which world churches are closing is because they have not restored the essence. I will discuss this restoration of essence in the conclusion.

▣ Main

But here, today there are three important things for you. Do not think of it as difficult — when placed in an urgent situation, a person comes to realize three things. If death is truly approaching me? Three things come to light. So this is a very important point. Therefore, people who have truly received answers are those who realized these three things in advance. History happened to these people.

1. God’s Presence – Mission

First. Looking at verse 1 today, it says “He took me and led me.” We humans must certainly come to realize this, but we do not. It is God’s presence. We do not realize this. God appeared to Ezekiel and led him. It is God’s presence and mission. Every human being should realize this, but it is not easily realized. So if you only realize it when you are nearly dead, it is too late. Right? You are so ruined that you have no more road. So you are frantically grabbing onto God — by then it is too late. The people who realized this in advance are the ones who emerged.

1) Jeremiah 33:1-9

“The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time.” About twenty times the word came to Jeremiah. But “came a second time” — that is a remarkable word. And it came to him while he was confined in the courtyard of the guard, saying, “The Lord who does it, the Lord who forms it to establish it — the Lord is His name — says this.” A very important word. “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” That word came. And then He spoke of restoration. Jeremiah believed this word and proclaimed it.

2) Isaiah 6:1-13

Also in Isaiah chapter 6, verses 1 through 13, God came to Isaiah in advance, even then. And with the power of the throne. And He gave an important mission. “Not you.” That is it. He said, “Here am I, send me,” and God said, “Not you. It is the Remnant.” I saw this word some twenty-plus years ago and thought, “Right. We must do the Remnant movement.” This word came, and those who understood this word in advance survived, and those who could not understand it were destroyed.

3) Ezekiel 37:1-11

It also came up last week. Ezekiel chapter 37, verses 1 through 11. “Can these completely dead bones live?” Two things were said. “Prophesy the word. Prophesy the breath of life.” A very important point. We cannot give the breath of life. “Prophesy. Prophesy the breath of life to the dying.”

[Babylon Field]

The people who understood these words brought about history in the Babylon field.

[In Advance]

They already knew this in advance. This is important. Do not receive grace half-dead — receive it now. Right? This is important. You should pray a lot, but with prayer too — there is no need to pray, “Lord, quickly break down my husband.” If you break them quickly, you half-kill them. You bring them back through prayer. This is very important. Every person in life is destined to stand before God. The question is when. Will you stand when you die, when you are called? Will you stand now? Will you stand before God thrashing about when a great crisis comes? Will you stand now? The people who moved the world stood in advance — now. This word was given to all these people, and those who entered Babylon and triumphed entered with this word. Do you understand? This is very important. Without this, you do not even know what the temple is, and even building it is pointless.

2. The Power of God and the Word

Second. When a person becomes desperate, they come to realize the second thing. It is the power of God and the Word. You must not grab onto this when you are dying. You must grab onto it now. To what degree? Wherever the water that flows from the threshold of the temple goes, everything revives. Right? Later it revives a river. Later this water flows and revives the sea. Simply put, it revives the world. You see this in advance. You see it now. The worship that person offers is alive and working.

1) Isaiah 40:1-31

Isaiah proclaimed it. He said, “Go up on a high mountain and proclaim. Proclaim from the rooftops.” That means make others understand. What? “All humanity — grass withers and flowers fade, but the word of the Lord stands forever” — proclaim this. And then in the middle, the message unfolds. “Who is God? Is this (a wet towel) God? You make things and bow to them — is that God?” Of course not. You made them. That is not what God is like. And then at the end, “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” You must enjoy this now. Right? This is important.

2) Ezekiel 37:1-11

It is the same word, right? “Can these bones live?” Prophesy — that is what it says.

3) Ezekiel 47:1-8

And with this, today’s word explains how power appears wherever the word flows.

[Always]

The person who always enjoys this is the one who changed the world. Daniel entered with this covenant and set his purpose. Crisis came, just the same. Equally. Then when he prayed, what did he say? “As was his custom from the beginning.” That means from the very beginning, Daniel was someone who gained great wisdom through that prayer.

3. Fullness of the Holy Spirit – Everything 300%

Now, today the third point is important. What is the fullness of the Holy Spirit? The fullness of the Holy Spirit is everything of God. Enjoying 300%. But it appeared in today’s passage we read. An important thing appeared. In verse 4, one thousand cubits were measured, and the water reached the ankles. Have you been to the beach? Have you walked in the water? If you walk at the beach, water comes up to your ankles. Then you can still move. “Ah, how refreshing,” and you walk along like that. But if you go in a little more — where is it? Up to the waist. Then it is a little hard to walk. Go in even further? More water? You cannot walk anymore. Then what happens? You have to swim. To swim, you have to entrust your body to the water.

Easy to say, but I cannot entrust myself to water and so I cannot swim now. It is true. What is imprinted on you in childhood is frightening. Our house was not originally in the mountains. It was right by the harbor, facing the sea downtown. My father ran a factory there. My mother told me about it every single day. She completely imprinted it on me. That if you go there you must not fall in. And rightly so. It was not just a beach. It was a harbor. Where big ships come in. If you fall in there, you cannot get out. My mother also imprinted it on me very vividly. If you fall in there, they say you get sucked under the ship. And if you get under the ship, they cannot even find you. So the point was never to go in at all. Man, things imprinted in childhood are truly frightening. From then on, swimming was impossible for me. Absolutely impossible. You just naturally need to entrust your body to the water, but I cannot entrust it. To put it in terms of this — it is as if I am not filled with water. This is a tremendous analogy.

Completely entrusting yourself to God — the fullness of the Holy Spirit — brings about astonishing history. Now, it is not about doing things according to my own will. Outside, I walk around as I please. But in the water, I cannot do as I please. This is a tremendous analogy. All seven Remnants were like this.

1) Genesis 41:38 “One in whom the Spirit of the Lord is.”

2) 1 Samuel 6:13 — 1 Samuel chapter 6, verse 13: “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord moved him.”

3) 2 Kings 2:9-11 — 2 Kings chapter 2, verses 9, 10, and 11: “Not Jericho or Bethel or those — let me inherit a double portion of the Spirit’s inspiration.” These are what Daniel was enjoying. Right? Always.

[Daniel 6:10, 20, 22]

Daniel chapter 6, verse 10 — three times a day. Daniel chapter 6, verse 20 — always. Words spoken by the king. “May the God you always serve rescue you.” Daniel’s wisdom moved four kings. All the Remnants were like that without exception. So this week’s topic is not just kings. Those who moved the emperors who rule the 237 nations were the Remnants. That is the fullness of the Holy Spirit. It is not difficult. The Remnant is not someone who prays when something happens, like Daniel. They must be someone who is always doing it. The evangelism disciple who moves the world does not do work separately and prayer separately. In verse 22, they do that work always within prayer.

You must experience it. Then the power to change the world arises. This year and next year, world evangelization will continue to happen among us. Many people are trying hard to stop it — how commendable of them. They are laboring in vain. The gospel cannot be stopped. Right? The fact that Jesus is the Christ cannot be stopped. How foolish. This cannot be stopped. So in the end, the doors of world evangelization will open.

▣ Conclusion

Now then, you must first enjoy this power, and then restore the essential temple preparations of the church.

1. Three Ages

It is not difficult. First build the three ages within yourself in your prayers. The three courtyard age, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age. Adults must take these and work with them, and the Remnants must take them and go forward.

What is the three-day weekend age? One who knows what the gospel is, one who knows what prayer is, one who knows what evangelism is.

What are the three courtyards? We must save the multi-ethnic peoples, the Remnant, and the sick.

What is the holy meditation age? We must save those completely fallen into spiritual problems of idolatry and the Nephilim age.

This must be within me.

2. Church

What is even more important? This must be within our church. This is now the temple.

3. Field

What is even more important? In your field. This is where it is discovered.

So we already know the complete final things of the gospel and we are inside of it. So just as we started by knowing the already-given things and starting from there, what is the conclusion but that it is already complete.

In your minds, when the three-day weekend age opens here and the next generation is saved, and the multi-ethnic peoples are saved, and the sick are saved, and not only the three courtyards are established here — now there must be a picture in which the age of creating things to heal many spiritual problems opens as well. That is why He did this (three temples, ark of the covenant, Moses – Canaan, originals, world church) like this (X).

When you hold onto the covenant and pray, how does this picture become? What is far away is right before you. Right? It is a future matter, something far away, but it is before me today. That is faith. That is vision. So what is unseen is before me. Conversely, what has been seen today is the future. What you are praying today will certainly be the future. Conversely, what is far away being clearly right before your eyes — that is faith and vision.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Do not go somewhere to pray. Just pray. Right? Do not set aside prayer time. Just pray. In the morning when I open my eyes, I just start praying. I have mentioned it several times, but our elders especially must do this. While you sleep, your brain cells are mercilessly being damaged. You must restore them. While you sleep, quite a bit of bacteria is already forming in your mouth and damaging your lungs. You will pray a lot for Elder Cho Ki-bum, but I keep getting prayer coming up recently. I saw him and his mouth was in a very dry state. That is very dangerous. Why? Because it is in his mouth — how hard that must be. But actually you are sleeping in that same state. After waking up, you need several hours to restore yourself. And as the days and time go by, your immunity decreases. You need to build it up. Not only that. Hormonal changes occur. You need to stop those.

Do it in the morning, I am telling you. There is no reason not to. Even 5 or 10 minutes brings forth power. You absolutely must do it in the morning. Then what you have done will be confirmed through the afternoon. When I look at a person while in a state of prayer, they look completely different. Only then, when night comes to close the day, does the 300% masterpiece come out.

Starting from tomorrow — from now — take this (the Main portion) and start praying. I bless you, that tomorrow you may gain even greater strength, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give glory to God who is with us. Please let us save the multi-ethnic peoples. Let many disciples be raised up. Please let us enjoy this at all times. Let us enjoy the power of the throne now. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

「Gold Cannot Become Dull」 (La 4:1-5)

Lamentations 4:1-5

01 How the gold has lost its luster, the fine gold become dull! The sacred gems are scattered at every street corner.
02 How the precious children of Zion, once worth their weight in gold, are now considered as pots of clay, the work of a potter’s hands!
03 Even jackals offer their breasts to nurse their young, but my people have become heartless like ostriches in the desert.
04 Because of thirst the infant’s tongue sticks to the roof of its mouth; the children beg for bread, but no one gives it to them.
05 Those who once ate delicacies are destitute in the streets. Those brought up in royal purple now lie on ash heaps.

Summary

※ What covenant must one hold onto in order to receive answers?

1. Israel — which received the gospel but did not share it or enjoy it — leading to children all perishing and disaster coming
2. Fleshly grief is the path to death; spiritual grief is the path to life
3. Jeremiah’s grief is the path to saving Israel and the world

▣ Introduction_ Spiritual Grief

1. Grief for the age — a spiritual epidemic is spreading across the entire land.

▷ Offering — restore the three economies and give the very best to God.
The three-day weekend age — we must let our children and the multi-ethnic peoples know the gospel and prayer and send them out.

Transcript

※ What covenant must one hold onto in order to receive answers?

Thank you. Many people now want to receive answers. However, they do not know the actual method of receiving answers well. If you were the kind of person who receives answers at this point, what covenant should you be holding onto? That is important. We need to prepare for the World Remnant Conference. It is called WRC. At this time, what kind of answers should be received? What preparation should be made? And what does that have to do with me? How do you receive God’s power of blessing? This is very important. So you need to leave here with a simple answer, without it being complicated.

1. Israel — which received the gospel but did not share it or enjoy it — leading to children all perishing and disaster coming

Israel was completely ruined. The reason is simple. The gospel was given, but they did not proclaim it. They did not enjoy the gospel. They enjoyed other things. So disaster was inevitable. But in this situation, children were all perishing. And today, “How did gold change its color? No, gold changed its color.” That is how it is expressed. But actually, pure gold does not change its color. “How did our nation become so ruined? Gold has changed its color.” This statement is based on the premise that gold does not change its color. Right? What does this mean? “The color of pure gold has changed.” What does this mean?

2. Fleshly grief is the path to death; spiritual grief is the path to life

Today, the prophet Jeremiah expressed the grief he felt as he looked upon that scene. Without grieving hearts, prayer cannot truly receive answers. Fleshly grief is the path to death. Spiritual grief is the path to life.

3. Jeremiah’s grief is the path to saving Israel and the world

Jeremiah’s grief is the path to saving Israel and the world.

▣ Introduction_ Spiritual Grief

1. Grief for the age — a spiritual epidemic is spreading across the entire land.

Why is that?

1) Children are falling into spiritual problems, drugs, and mental illness.

What situation are children in now? Children all over the world are falling into spiritual problems and difficulties. Is that not the case? There are many children who study well? Almost all of them are in spiritual problems. Not just to that degree. Right now in some countries, they are recruiting teenagers to kill people and commit terrorism. Teenagers are now suffering from drugs and mental illness — a crisis is coming. There must be grief.

2) The church is not giving the gospel of life.

What is even more grievous is that it is not giving food to eat. A child is born and its palate is stuck — you need to give it something to eat. If a child is born and the mother leaves it without giving it milk, its mouth will dry out and the roof of its mouth will dry out and the child will die. That is what is happening now.

The church is not giving the Word. It is not giving life. Jews have not given life. They have never shared the gospel. Right? The next generation’s mouths are all stuck shut. If a child is born and you do not give it milk, what happens to that child?

This is the grief that Jeremiah is expressing now.

(1) Children in underdeveloped nations — superstition, idols, evil spirits

Many children now — children in underdeveloped nations — are in superstitions beyond imagination. Strange idols, evil spirits — they are captivated by these.

(2) Groups spreading strange movements in America and Europe

At this time, strange groups are rising up and spreading strange movements in America and Europe.

(3) Churches that have no interest in this and only fight

The church has absolutely no interest. It is only fighting. There are no churches that are not fighting. It is something to grieve about. They are always suing each other. In America, in foreign countries, people dislike Koreans now. They dislike them for suing too much. Koreans suing each other. They do it whenever they feel bored, so to speak. It is something to grieve about.

Children are actually falling into drugs. Drugs are serious. Parents do not know. They do not know their own children are like that. Children are dying from spiritual problems. There must be an aching heart. So there must be grief.

Children are dying in a house fire, and the parents have no grief? That person has a mental illness. Right? Even at the cost of your own life you run in. That is normal. Standing outside calmly watching — that is an strange parent.

3) Children all over the world are dying, trapped in satanic festivals. It is an age in which children commit suicide.

So all fall into Satan’s message. It is a grave situation. And young adults all over the world who like to have a good time are falling into strange festivals — satanic festivals — and are dying. One example of this is the Itaewon incident. They died while having a demon festival. People do not know what is happening. This is something to grieve about. It was not only at Itaewon. Demon festivals are everywhere. The church has no interest whatsoever. That is even more grievous. You must grieve. We cannot fail to save children from all over the world at this time. Multi-ethnic peoples worked themselves to death and came here like a miracle. There must be a grieving heart. We must make those children receive the accurate gospel and the strength of prayer and go back.

So many children came last year. When they came to Korea, do you know what was the very first confession they made? Never mind what else they were amazed by after seeing the culture. What was the first thing they said? They said it was the first time in their lives they had brushed their teeth. What would those teeth look like? And such people — even just coming here puts them at a higher level. They are scattered everywhere by the thousands. This darkness is spreading across the entire land. Do not only fear coronavirus — more frightening than coronavirus is the spiritual epidemic. Right? Children have started committing suicide now. What kind of life had they even lived when they commit suicide… This is that kind of age. There must be grief.

2. God’s grief

1) God, sighing as He looked upon humanity that had become Nephilim through spiritual problems (Genesis 6)

God also, in Genesis chapter 6, sighed as He looked upon humanity in the Nephilim age of spiritual problems.

2) Jesus, grieving as He looked upon sheep without a shepherd (Matthew 9:35-38)

In Matthew chapter 9, verses 35 through 38 — what did Jesus do? Looking at those sheep without a shepherd, sheep abandoned without a shepherd, Jesus expressed grief.

3) One who has grief that says “only this gospel will do” blocks disaster (Matthew 5:3-4).

Evangelizing in order to grow the church — that is a merchant. Right? There must be grief. Only this gospel will do. That does not exist anymore. That is why disaster is received. One who has grief blocks disaster. Jesus said it. Looking at church members who do not even know what a blessing is — that is not a blessing. Being poor in spirit — that is the blessing. Being in a good position through lying and flattery right now — that is not a blessing. Those who mourn are blessed. Jesus said that.

3. WRC must become a spiritual festival. Take that grief, gather strength, and save children in underdeveloped nations.

Today, everyone, pure gold absolutely does not change. What kind of answer should you receive? As you prepare for WRC this time, the whole church must become a spiritual festival. The whole world is in difficulty. Gather your strength and save those children in underdeveloped nations. Every time I think of Korea’s June 25th (Korean War). I was born during the June 25th War. Younger people do not know. Adults know. Missionaries came to our country that was dying miserably and helped us. Everyone else lies. The ones who reported as they were the strange situation happening in Korea — those were the missionaries. Politicians all calculate. All calculating people. And so medical personnel poured into Korea, missionaries came in bringing food to help us, building schools. What would have happened if that had not occurred? We need to have that kind of grief.

▣ Main

1. The promise God gave to the prophets who grieved

First. There is a promise God gave to the prophets who grieved.

1) Isaiah

First is what was given to Isaiah. He appeared to Isaiah with the power of the throne. He appeared while showing the activity of the angels. He said one thing. Things have been ruined until now, but they will be ruined even more. But the stump, the Remnant, will not disappear. That is the word given. You may feel it is far away and unrelated to you, but you must grab onto God’s word precisely.

2) Jeremiah

He spoke to Jeremiah, who was grieving over this nation. “Call to me and I will answer you and show you hidden things you do not know.” This time you must receive this answer. All of these are messages directed at the Remnant.

3) Ezekiel

What did He say? “Ezekiel, can these bones truly live?” “The Lord God knows.” “Then prophesy the word. Prophesy the breath of life.” This is what we must do.

When people from nations sunken in darkness come here, they all think they are poor. You must give them strength. You must breathe life into them. They all think they cannot do it. “Our country is poor. We have nothing.” That is not so. You must breathe life into them. Thankfully, the first missionaries who came to Korea breathed life into Korea. They said things that no one else would believe at all: “In the future, Korea is a nation of hope that can evangelize the world.” Looking at that, they breathed the Word and life into them.

※ For the Remnant, this is both the first and the last opportunity. You must not give them something else.

This is the first opportunity for the Remnants but also the last. Why? You cannot give them something else. As the passage says — it appeared right there. There is nothing to give. Their throats are dry, there is no one to give milk, no one to break bread for them. They keep giving only other things. Better to give poison — poison.

2. God who worked through the people who went to Babylon carrying their grief

Second. God worked through those who understood grief. Those are the people who went to Babylon carrying that grief. The answer comes quickly.

1) Three young adults

The three young adults. As you know, the answer emerged. One who does not have that grief does not even know what it means, does not know the answer, and cannot do it. Because they went to Babylon carrying the covenant of grief for Israel — we understand that even if we succeed, it is not success. The one who realized this has a different vision. It is not about living well. Here we must save our people and save these multi-ethnic peoples. Of course we cannot bow to idols. It is fine even if we die. These are the people who opened their eyes.

2) Daniel

Daniel, as soon as he arrived, set his purpose. “Oh, we succeeded!” — not that. A person like that is useless. “If I do this, it will benefit me” — useless, a person like that. “How can I benefit from being in this church?” — useless, a person like that. He set his purpose. Later, even amid slander and scheming, he prayed to God just as he had purposed. From beginning to end, exactly the same — “as was his custom, he gave thanks and prayed.” Knowing he might die. What is this? These are people who have grief directed at dying people in God’s sight.

3) Esther

Esther. She grew up without parents. She held the covenant. She became queen. How grievous a story she tells — when all the Jews were about to be killed, Mordecai said this: “Is it not possible that God placed you for such a time as this?” Yes. A truly aching story. What you must hold onto? “God placed me here for such a time as this.” At that time Esther answered. She said she would die if she dies. “Do not worry, but pray for me.”

These people are all those who carried spiritual grief.

3. God who accomplished the history of temple restoration through those who carried grief

Third. Those with grief who carried temple restoration — this is what made everything come back completely. Restoration.

1) Nehemiah

A person called Nehemiah — you know him, right? He explained things to the king. He was such a person of prayer. The king asked, “What is your worry?” “Yes, I want to quickly go back to our country and restore the temple.”

2) Zerubbabel

All of these people — Zerubbabel and others like him — are people who know grief. Because that person became the leader and guide, the second temple that was built is also called Zerubbabel’s temple.

3) Haggai (Haggai 2:1-9)

What does God say in the restoration word to Haggai, who had this grief? Six times — “So says the Lord.” “Heaven and earth and sea and all nations will be shaken.” That is the word when this covenant is restored.

※ What matters is whether the covenant God gave is correct or not.

We need to prepare the Remnant Conference with this blessing. Your covenant must be accurate. Right? What will you do? That is not important. How much will you do? That is also not important. What matters is whether the covenant God gave is correct or not.

▣ Conclusion_ I know your tears

1. Fleshly grief is the path to destruction

So fleshly grief is the path to destruction. “How can I stay as king for a long time? That David is a clever fellow — I cannot let him be.” That is now fleshly grief — and he died demon-possessed.

2. Spiritual grief changes the world.

Spiritual grief changes the world. David was different. “I sleep in a good place, but the ark of the Lord is in the wind.” That grief is different. It is different from King Saul. Of course King Saul died demon-possessed by suicide, and David could not but triumph. It is about what you grieve over. So today you must truly and firmly grab the covenant.

3. One who carries life-giving grief

1) Challenges because absolute possibility is seen within absolute impossibility.

So we challenge absolute impossibility. Absolute possibility is seen there. To whom? It is seen by the one who grieves for saving the nation.

2) It is fine even if no one helps, because they know God’s power.

It is fine even if no one helps. Because we know God’s power.

3) It is fine even with nothing, because they know what prayer is.

It is fine even with nothing. Because they know what prayer is. We must produce such people.

4) God accomplishes the power of the throne and the work of the kingdom of God through this person.

To whom will God accomplish the power of the throne and the work of the kingdom of God? To whom. To the one who has this grief. Right?

※ Offering — restore the three economies and give the very best to God.

When construction began, I just got rid of everything I had with some margin. Because that is not what is important. Even now when I give an offering to God, you will know. I give my most important thing. Something better than what I do with people in the world — I give it before God.

Today, our Lilian Washington family, Rebecca — they attended right here. Yang Yu-wei and people like that attended. Those people are not Koreans. I felt sorry about that — sorry about it, though there is no reason to be sorry — inside my heart. They sold the homes they were living in and gave us the construction offering here. Is that possible, everyone? This is content that requires a lot of thought. So if individual churches are running short on budget — you need to think about it. We need to quickly restore the three economies. We must give the very best to God. Right? We need to teach that from childhood. We need to teach children from childhood so that they can conquer the world.

※ The three-day weekend age — we must let them know the gospel and prayer and send them out.

Open the three-day weekend age and our children must know what prayer is and be sent out. Multi-ethnic peoples have come, and we are going to make it so they cannot even grasp the gospel or pray? That is the path to destruction.

This time, everyone, you must hold onto the covenant so that you receive this restoration answer. There must be a grieving heart. He said to Timothy, “I know your tears.” Those are not worldly tears.

May today, throughout the entire day, become a day of receiving the great grace of answers that God gives, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. May today become that day. May it become a day of seeing God’s grief, and may our grief become something spiritual. May it become something that saves the world. May today’s brief prayer appear as something eternal. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
