Today is a meaningful week as we end one year and prepare for a new one. It is also a meaningful day as, for the first time in Korea, missionaries are being commissioned toward the 5000 tribes. Wherever you go, and you pastors also, many things must be done, but it is necessary to make people come. Mainly, many who are spiritually sick want to go somewhere, but in reality there is nowhere for them to go. Now the three organizations have already well prepared places to make people come. We must quickly catch this.
And the future generations must rise, and we must make it so that they rise. That is the three courtyards. This includes the three-day weekend age. So now we have no time for disputes or fights. We must make it so that the multiethnic peoples can come.
Since today is such an important day, let us look at three things.
▣ The evangelist’s timetable
Today is Remnant Day, but before that, what is the evangelist’s timetable? This is what we must check. In what timetable must the evangelist be?
▣ The RT’s timetable
And since today is Remnant Day, what is the remnant’s timetable?
▣ The scattered disciple’s timetable
And what is the timetable of the scattered disciples?
We must look well at these timetables.
When you go to Songdo, or Busan, or Seoul’s Eulwangri, there are many restaurants. What makes me feel the most unpleasant and difficult is when they keep trying to force me into their restaurant, guiding insistently. In Busan, it is always like that. Almost certainly, this is something only our country does. In advanced nations, they absolutely never do that. Absolutely not. So I think, “Can they do business at such a level?” Even to the point of rushing out as though they will get hit by a car, they do this.
But then I went to a restaurant in Japan. The owner was wearing a name tag. On the tag was not only his name, but above it was written, “12th owner, so-and-so.” Inside the restaurant there were records of the 11 owners before him. That restaurant has been running for 500 years. So I thought, comparing it with the pitiful state of many Korean restaurants, what a huge difference.
So pastors, sometime next year, please establish two more worship services, even if at first it feels a bit burdensome. A multiethnic worship that follows the flow of the senior pastor’s message, and a healing worship that follows the flow of the senior pastor’s message. Of course there is also the worship where everyone gathers together. At first you may think, “Is this really necessary? What kind of training is this?” But absolutely not—it is crucial.
If you go to old restaurants, there are still those who have not renewed. Some places require you to remove your shoes before entering. Unless it is a very high-class restaurant, restaurants where you must remove your shoes will not last. Of course, some places make you remove your shoes just for style. But aside from that, it is far more convenient to wear shoes inside. Nowadays, when I went to a restaurant I frequented, I saw they had switched to letting customers keep shoes on. I said to the owner, “You renewed!” He replied, “The customers feel much more comfortable.” “Of course,” I thought. Before, they made you take off your shoes, warning “Be careful with your shoes,” even giving you a plastic bag to carry them. What is the point of that?
Do you know why I say this? Churches have in the same way created structures that make revival impossible. And the church leaders stand guard at those old, dead-end gates. Open your eyes and see carefully. People are truly sick and they want to come, but there is nowhere to go. And the smart students cannot come to church on Sundays, because they must pay extra to attend special classes—and all those classes are held on Sunday. We must quickly open the three-day weekend age, making it so that they cannot help but come. Among our remnants and among us are outstanding talents. But they are all left unattended. If we open something like the three-day weekend age, offering what is most needed, they cannot help but come. “Ah, but this is a countryside church.” Not so. Nowadays, everyone has cars. Saying it is too far is just an excuse. If distance were really the issue, then why do they go to restaurants?
▣ The evangelist’s timetable – Eternity
So then, what is the reason Judaism and the Medieval Church lost hold of the gospel? They lost hold of this—eternity. As long as we continue in this, it is enough.
Right now, theologians are the problem. There are many famous theologians in America. But let us ask honestly: why are American churches closing at such a rapid pace? Whose responsibility is it? Is it Trump’s responsibility? It is not. The churches in America are rapidly shutting down. So quickly we must connect here and begin evangelist training in places like America. This is the theologians’ responsibility. People who have never evangelized, who know nothing about it, became theologians and scholars. They spend their whole lives doing work unrelated to the movement of life. Of course, academically, theology must be studied. But to use it for politics, to hurt others, is that why they studied theology? Meanwhile, the believers and churches are shutting down. Europe is long gone. It is completely dead.
There were two so-called masters of expository preaching in England. Martin Lloyd-Jones, who shook the world, and John Stott. They were masters of expository preaching. But what happened to the churches in England? Did they open or close? They closed. What is this thing called expository preaching or exegetical preaching? The Bible is thematic preaching. It is about Jesus Christ. From the beginning, they went wrong. Perhaps for personal study and skill, such things may have value, but for the church, it is unnecessary. They lost hold of eternity. And thus, European churches all died.
1. Today within eternity
So it is not too late. We must find today within eternity.
2. Mission within eternity
We must find the mission within eternity.
3. The hidden things within eternity
And we must find the hidden things within eternity. As long as we enjoy this, it is enough.
1. Today within eternity
Eternal things do not disappear. As time passes, works arise.
1) 7 bartizans (Imprint → Platform)
God gave us eternal things, the 7 bartizans. If my today is within this, it becomes imprinted. And the more it is imprinted, the more it becomes a platform. Continue even now and begin from tomorrow to enjoy this prayer. There is nothing else to do. From this, your work arises. From this, your health arises.
But people do not know that if you just pray, everything is solved. They do not know this. When you pray, your brain is transformed, your lungs come alive. When you pray, immunity arises throughout your body. But because they are ignorant of prayer, they keep doing only things opposed to prayer—thinking, worrying, endlessly. They spend 24 hours like this. It is only by God’s grace that they live, but no works arise. You must remember this.
2) 7 journeys (Root → Watchman’s bartizan)
This is eternal. As you go on the 7 journeys, they do not remain only journeys—they begin to take root. And then others come. You begin to save others. Because light shines here.
3) 7 guideposts (Nature → Antenna)
Continue in this prayer. As you enjoy the 7 guideposts, they change your nature. And then they become an antenna of communication. You must always be enjoying this.
This is necessary not only for you, but especially pastors and elders must restore it. You must first be healthy. If you are always sick and weak, it is difficult to do the Lord’s work. It is not about wanting to live long.
Dr. Lee Si-Hyung once said: the average lifespan is into the 80s, but disease strikes already in the 70s. So most people spend 10 years sick before dying. He even said a strange thing—that he does not do medical checkups as he ages. Why? He saw in autopsies that even people who said, “I lived healthy, I lived to 85 or 90,” most were already filled with cancer or dementia. He said, “Not knowing was much happier. If they had known, how miserable would it have been?” That is how much people are plagued by disease.
This—7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts—is truly important. For us there are only two things: prayer and breathing. When you were born, you breathed. When breathing ends, you go. Spiritual breathing is prayer. Through this you must save today. Do it. Comfortably. Those who have worries—set them down. So you are not the kind of people who must strive to obtain things. That is unbelievers. You are not merely striving—you are those who move the throne.
2. Mission within eternity
Then from here comes mission. That is Romans chapter 16, and it is shown mainly like this.
1) Protector
Because of you, the evangelist of your church is protected. To say “protected” does not mean guided. To say “protected” means the evangelist in danger is protected.
2) Co-worker
And it means to stake your life together, a co-worker.
3) Host
And it does not mean to use much money. It means to help for the sake of missions, a host.
3. The hidden things within eternity
At this time, there are the people of Romans chapter 16.
1) Before eternity
God gives what is hidden within eternity. If God hid it from before eternity, how important must it be? He says He will give that.
2) Now
And even now, there are many hidden things. He says He will give this.
3) Forever
And He says He will give what will be forever.
This year’s theme, the New Year’s message, is “Change it. Find it. Establish it.” What should be changed? There may be many, but what must absolutely be done in 2025? What should be found? In 2025 what must absolutely be found? What must be established? That, during the New Year’s message, we must share together like forum.
▣ The RT’s timetable
Now, in such a time God raised the remnant. The timetable of the remnant is now four things.
1. The watchman’s bartizan
If the remnant is not established now, they will suffer all their life. This is lesson 1. If they are established now, they will succeed all their life. What does this mean? This—eternity. You must first have this. The remnant must establish this bartizan of eternity.
2. The power of the throne
And what the remnant must right now have by faith is the power of the throne. To win by lying in all ways, to succeed by all kinds of crooked means like unbelievers—that is not your level. Nearly all people are like that today. Then you cannot even tell which words are true. Every time they open their mouths, it is lies. To become such a “talented” person—that is not for you. You must have the power of the throne. No fight is possible. How can there be a fight? You must be at the level where you cannot but win.
3. Where first
Then where must this power of the throne first take place? That is what next month’s forum will be.
4. The actual throne – when it comes (the standard)
When the power of the throne actually comes, what happens? What is the standard? Words. The remnant must know this already.
1. The watchman’s bartizan (Acts 1:1–14)
If the remnant prepares now, even with little done, later in life works will arise. This is the bartizan Jesus gave in Acts 1:1–14.
1. The Triune God
So, in reality, the watchman of the remnant is the Triune God.
2. Fulfillment
And God gave you this bartizan—what bartizan? That which is being fulfilled now. The Triune God is even now fulfilling the Word, prayer, and salvation of souls. Have this bartizan. Become this watchman.
3. The method
So what is the method? How important is this? With, Immanuel, Oneness.
1) WITH
God is now with me.
2) Immanuel
He is now with us, in the church.
3) Oneness
And what seemed not to work, He works together in all things.
So for the way the remnant goes, it is not about comfort. There is no such thing as possible or impossible. There is no possible, impossible. God is with me, He is Immanuel with us, He is working Oneness. This is certain.
But perhaps the weather is a bit cold. It is only cold; it is not ruin. The weather is too hot. It is only hot; it is not ruin. You must remember this. While you are in this, God’s plan is being fulfilled precisely.
2. The power of the throne
1. Heavenly
So God gives you the power of Heavenly—the power of the throne.
2. Thronely
As in the praise we even created this word, Thronely.
3. Eternaly
And Eternaly. So He is with us with Heavenly power, Thronely power, Eternaly power. Sometimes you may just laugh and remain still. It is a process. What process? God is with me, and He is with me with this power.
In conclusion, if someone is going through great difficulties, unless they are a strange person, they are a great person. If someone is going through great difficulty, they are a great person. Would you give a graduate-level exam to a kindergarten child? Of course not. A kindergarten child only gets “What is 1+1?” Would you say, “Do calculus”? They cannot. On the other hand, would you gather graduate students and ask, “What is 1+1?” That would be a joke. So know that all of us have this—Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly.
3. Where first
Where must this come first? This is important.
1. Genesis 1:27
It comes upon my soul. God’s image comes upon me.
2. Genesis 2:7
Not only that—He breathed into man the breath of life. Everything comes out of this—eternity. This is the evangelist’s timetable. And because we cannot miss this opportunity, it is the remnant’s timetable.
Haven’t you experienced this? Sometimes the remnant hears just once and says, “Yes, that’s right!” and works arise. But if, as a remnant, they go astray a little, they suffer losses later.
3. Genesis 2:18
And what else? Like the blessing of the Garden of Eden, works begin in my field, in my home.
4. The actual throne – when it comes (the standard)
Then, to what extent must the power of the throne become my standard? This must be taught clearly, so that we can align with it.
1. 237
It aligns with 237. That is why Jesus said, “Go to all nations.” “Go to all peoples.” “To the ends of the earth.” This must align with me.
For example, today’s work of the commissioned missionaries—this will align with 237.
2. 5000
Then, it aligns with the 5000 tribes. This is the standard. The remnant’s career, work, study, your work—later you will see that it aligns with 237. The evangelism work pastors are doing—this is aligning with 237. With the 5000 tribes. It is tremendous.
3. Transcending time and space, unprecedented and unrepeatable, the mystery of prayer
Then three changes occur. Transcending time and space. Only then does it align with 237 and 5000. Unless you know the answer of transcending time and space, you cannot understand these words. The unprecedented and unrepeatable grace arises. This is prepared for you. When you know this, you know the mystery of prayer. Hold tightly to this and enjoy it even now.
