Scripture Reading: Ruth 1:15-18
Introduction_ Satan’s Deception
Today is an important day for you to receive a great answer through the Word.
1. The reality of the Nephilim having the greatest influence
1) Nations and people under the influence of the Nephilim
The 3 Organizations give the most influence to America. Shinto shrine worship has a big influence on Japan. What would be the biggest influence in Korea? There is something so influential it is almost moving the Korean people. A certain woman faced a very great difficulty. How do they do in Korea? They visit a fortune-teller. Because [the shaman] guesses this and that correctly, she is startled. Then, [the shaman] tells her to do an exorcism (gut). So she did the exorcism. Then, another difficulty comes. After doing it a few times, [the shaman] tells her to receive the spirits [become a shaman]. After agonizing and agonizing, because she has no choice and no way, she received them. Then, because of that, she met such in-laws. So, she herself got married, but her children also got married. However, spiritual problems come to that family one after another. Actually, someone loses their mind, someone gets epilepsy, one person commits suicide, two people leave home—actually. This is a big influence in Korea. Only the pastors are unaware; the laypeople all know.
Then what about the elites? Are the elites okay? No. A famous tycoon in Gyeongnam, Busan, did exorcisms and business as the fortune-teller told him. It looked like the business was all flourishing. In the end, he completely failed.
2) John 8:44 The father of lies, Satan’s purpose – Killing
It is recorded like this in the Bible. Jesus said: “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning.” He is trying to kill. “Because there is no truth in him, he speaks with lies; he is a liar and the father of lies.” Jesus said it directly in John 8:44. At that time, whom was He speaking to? To the Jews who were leading a good religious life: “Your father, the devil.” Therefore, the Jews did not realize and nailed Jesus to the cross. That too was for fulfilling God’s plan, but anyway, those people fell into a curse. You must remember. The purpose is killing. He said, “the father of lies.” “But they guess everything correctly?” That’s right. All of that is commanded by Satan, who tells lies from above. “No, the grandmother spirit comes?” That’s right. That is a lie. “No, I will be reincarnated and become something in the future?” That’s right. That is a lie. What is the purpose? It is killing. Therefore, in the end, it is killing your posterity. You must not be deceived.
I mean, these days, our country is influenced to the extent that broadcasting stations go to get their fortunes told and call shamans. Right? I truly want to tell them, but public broadcasters call shamans to tell fortunes. Because they are possessed by demons, they guess correctly. But that is a lie. It is correct, but the purpose is killing. He was a murderer from the beginning.
3) 1 Corinthians 10:20 Idolatry is done to demons
If idolatry were helpful, God would tell us to do idolatry. Right? If serving demons were okay, He would tell us to serve demons. “Sacrifices are offered to demons.” 1 Corinthians 10:20. It is not the parents who come, but demons. They deceive again. “The dead parents are coming.” It is a lie. It is a demon masquerading as the parents. Truly foolish. Foolish. “But still, the deceased ancestor, the mother, is coming.” They come. It is a masquerading demon.
So these days, famous fortune-tellers appear on broadcasts and YouTube. Right? “Will Yoon Suk-yeol be impeached or not?” I don’t believe such fortune-teller things, but I saw what came out about Yoon Suk-yeol. 7 out of 10 people said he won’t be impeached. I absolutely do not believe a fortune-teller’s words, but because they said he won’t be impeached, I felt slightly happy. [But then] he was impeached. However, whether it happened or not is not the problem. Those things are all the play of demons.
2. Satan’s 12 Deceptions
Satan deceives with 12 methods.
1) The start of the problem – Continuing even now.
(1) You become like God (Genesis 3).
“You must receive the spirits.” This is the first deception. Now, it is the first word Satan spoke to Eve. “You become like God.” Right? “You become a Buddha.” “You become God.” “You receive the spirits.” This is Satan’s first strategy. Therefore, because my body is also sick and not good, [people] conflict over whether it will be okay if they receive them, but because it makes money for those people, they keep telling them to do it.
(2) Nephilim – Strength arises first, but eventually you perish (Genesis 6).
What is the second strategy? First, strength arises. That is called the Nephilim of Genesis 6. Do you understand? You must absolutely not be deceived. The answer is in the Bible. Therefore, you do not only ruin yourself, but you ruin all the way to the posterity. You ruin even the nation. You turn Japan and America into neighborhoods of mental patients. You turn Korea into a strange country. It is truly regrettable. Pastors, pastors throughout the nation and world, please look at the Bible and preach. Because the pastors are not doing it.
(3) Tower of Babel – You can succeed. Eventually it collapses (Genesis 11).
What is the third strategy? You can succeed. “If you do this and that, you earn money.” “If you do this and that, you become a politician.” That is called the Tower of Babel. That Tower of Babel collapsed. These three are the start of the problem. Right? It is continuing even now. Even now.
2) Struggling because of frustration
(1) Visiting shamans (Acts 13).
So because of frustration, they visit shamans. That is Acts 13.
(2) Visiting demon-possessed fortune-tellers (Acts 16).
Because it is still not resolved, they visit demon-possessed fortune-tellers. That is Acts 16. Right?
(3) Making and serving shrines (Acts 19).
Still, it doesn’t work. Ha… They make a shrine and bow and serve. That is Acts 19.
3) 6 States of the Unbeliever
Still, it doesn’t work.
(1) Master – Satan
Something—now I have a separate master.
(2) Idolatry
Therefore, they tell fortunes and do exorcisms. If my master were God, it would be simple, but it is something else. I am not my own master.
(3) Mental Problems
Now spiritual problems come. From now on, they come slowly. Depression comes, panic comes, mental illness comes—they keep coming.
(4) Physical Problems
Next, what is it? Disease comes to the body. You are sick. What else can happen?
(5) Posterity Problems
While it’s like that, it would be fine if you just died, but this problem goes to the children? That is why God tells us not to do it. He tells us absolutely not to do it. They do more of what God says not to do. Stubbornly, they pass all these problems to the children.
(6) Eternal Background – Hell (Matthew 25:41)
Looking back, it wasn’t even that. There is another separate eternal background. Going to hell is not the important thing. Before going, they were in hell and then they go to hell. That is the background. As for why hell exists, looking at Matthew 25, it is the place to finally lock up Satan. He must be locked up.
3. Background of the Text – Naomi and Ruth who made a resolution before the problem of darkness that does not end
Now, you all must look well and reach the answer today.
1) Moab – A nation that attacks Israel and serves the idol Chemosh
Because a famine broke out, a man named Elimelech took his wife and went to the land of Moab. That land of Moab is a land of idols. The land of Moab is a nation that once attacked Israel when they were returning to their hometown and serves a big, scary idol called Chemosh. It is a nation that once fought and won against Israel, so they set up a big monument [saying] they won. He went there.
2) Naomi and two daughters-in-law who became widows in the land of Moab
He went, he went with his wife, and the wife’s name is Naomi. They went and gave birth to sons, they gave birth to two. Mahlon and Chilion—they gave birth to two like this. The two got married, and as for the daughters-in-law’s names: one is Orpah and one is Ruth. It is a background you know.
However, this problem of darkness does not end. Elimelech died. Up to that point it’s okay, but both sons, Mahlon and Chilion, ended up dying. I mean, dying is not the problem; a person goes once, but the word is not that word, is it. I mean, a person should die at the right time, but both ended up dying. Now three became widows and three remained. Think about it. Anyone can become a widow, but right now the situation is not that.
3) Resolution of Naomi and Ruth
At this time, Naomi makes a decision. “I must now return to my hometown. Since you are young, go to each of your gods and your nations and get married and live.” When she said this, the daughter-in-law named Orpah said she would do so. The one who said she would not do so is Ruth. “But I will go to the place where mother goes. Mother’s nation is my nation.” These are important confessions. “The God mother believes in is my God. I will go to mother’s nation”—it is an extremely important resolution.
▣ Main Body_ Resolution – Mother’s God is my God
You must make a resolution. The most important phrase is: “The God mother believes in is my God.” This is it.
1. The God of the Covenant who changes all my past – The turning point (what to leave) that changes the past, present, and future
First. It is the resolution regarding the God of the covenant. It is the turning point that changes the past, present, and future. It is important. It must be changed. It is changing the past, present, and future.
1) You must completely leave the past.
To do so, what must be done? You must leave the past. [Ruth said] she would follow mother. “I dislike this nation and I will follow mother. Mother’s nation is my nation.” There is something we must learn here. Right?
2) Even if demons keep visiting, there is nothing to fear. Make the resolution of a child of God.
The past—you must completely leave it. “No, demons keep visiting me.” There is nothing to fear. “No, after returning, they keep harassing me.” It has no relation. Therefore, this resolution is extremely important.
It’s not that someone evangelized to our house, where they worshipped idols for generations. My mother made the resolution. It’s not that someone evangelized. “Ah, a church was established here.” That is Il-sin Church established by [missionaries from] Australia. “Therefore, I must go to church. This way we have lived until now is not it. I want to believe in God. I want to become a child of God.” She made this resolution. That one thing overturned and changed everything. I hope you make a resolution.
You people who were in that darkness, you were in such difficulty. You must completely come out. You must change to the point where other people see and say, “Wow, that person changed.” It’s not the word to buy and wear expensive clothes or good clothes. Please change your clothes too. Don’t go around wearing them strangely like this. Change them. To the extent that a dog looks and wonders if it’s a different person and barks. Change it. Because [the dog] used to see always crumpled, strange faces, but now it has blossomed brightly, the dog barks thinking it’s a different person—that’s what it is.
3) The God of the covenant who changes all my past, that God is my God.
The God of the covenant. The God of the covenant who changes all my past. That God is my God. It’s finished.
2. The God of creation who will make me new – The turning point (what to enjoy) that changes through God’s power
Second, what is it? The God of creation. Why? Because He will make me new. It is not my power, but the turning point that changes through God’s power.
1) Three Feasts
The God who already actually gave us the Three Feasts.
2) The content of the covenant inside the Ark of the Covenant
The Ark of the Covenant is not what is important. The content of the covenant inside that—inside the Ark of the Covenant.
3) Centered on the Tabernacle
And the Israel that has lived centered on the Tabernacle until now. “I will believe in that, in that God.”
※ Believe that you have received what you asked for in faith – Firmly grasp God’s Word right now
Therefore, this is what must be enjoyed now. You must leave the past, but the most important thing is you must not look elsewhere but enjoy now.
Believe that you have received what you asked for in faith. Right? I didn’t know what these words meant. To Joseph, who truly grasped the covenant, God worked, didn’t He? Moses grasped the covenant when he was old and works occurred. Right now. Firmly grasping God’s Word during today’s worship is the only way to win. From where, who? No need. Please firmly grasp God’s Word.
This Ruth did not only leave the past. She firmly grasped God’s Word.
3. The eternal God – The turning point (fruit) that delivers world evangelization to the posterity
Third. The eternal God. The turning point that delivers world evangelization to the posterity. Now, do you know how amazing a thing happened?
1) Rahab the prostitute who grasped the covenant and entered Canaan, and Boaz, the son of Salmon
Before that, Rahab the prostitute grasped the covenant, she only grasped the covenant. She grasped that and entered the land of Israel and married a man named Salmon, Rahab did. They gave birth to a son, and that son’s name is Boaz.
2) Ruth, who grasped the covenant, and Boaz’s son Obed – His grandson Jesse – Jesse’s son David
What kind of person is Boaz? He is a person powerful enough to move a large fortune there. He is a person powerful enough to restore those lands of the deceased Elimelech and Naomi. This Ruth followed mother, followed Naomi and entered, and she met Boaz. The entire book of Ruth is the story of the meeting of Boaz and Ruth. Therefore, these two ended up getting married. Naomi tells her to do it.
They had this marriage, and the person who grasped the covenant got married and gave birth to a son, and the son’s name is Obed.
This Obed—won’t he have the next posterity. That posterity’s name is Jesse.
Then, whom did Jesse beget? He begot David. This is an immense covenant regarding the future. David was the king of kings. Right?
3) Jesus, the descendant of David
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” Take a look at that flow.
※ Escape from the deception where you have no choice but to perish. Grasp the covenant right now and build the Bartizan of Jehovah. Then the future is bound to emerge.
Today, you all must grasp this answer. It is escaping from the deception where you have no choice but to perish. It is grasping the covenant right now during every worship. Grasping that and praying all day long. You cannot memorize. It won’t even be memorized. You pray all day long. Build a spiritual Bartizan. Right? Build a Bartizan of Jehovah. That is prayer. On Sunday.
Then the future is destined to emerge. This kind of unimaginable thing happened. To put it simply, this woman became the grandmother of David. Amazing fruit began to emerge in Israel. It is history that actually happened.
※ You must deliver only the Gospel and liberate [people] from the shaman culture. As long as there are people and churches to deliver the true Gospel, our country cannot collapse.
Even if not shamans, our country is almost a shaman faith. The culture is a shaman culture. You must come out. You must liberate [people]. And deliver the light, deliver God’s Word. Only the Gospel. Therefore, we must save our posterity.
Also looking [at the news], will it be Lee Jae-myung or Kim Moon-soo—the fortune-tellers are in an uproar; looking at it now, it has no relation. Our country, in fact, is not saved by the President. God saves it. Because our country must do world evangelization and go together with multi-ethnic people, God guards and protects it—that is the word. Sodom and Gomorrah did not perish because of sin. It said they perish because there were not 10 righteous people. As long as there are people and churches to deliver the true Gospel, it cannot collapse.
▣ Conclusion
I will conclude. Then, the conclusion is important for receiving answers.
1. Do not be deceived – Today’s success and failure
Do not be deceived. What do I mean? “Ah, I think I am perishing now.” No. “Ah, I think I have succeeded now.” No. It is being deceived. “We fought and won.” No. “We fought and lost.” No.
Look at history. Did Egypt win? No. I mean, did King Saul succeed by becoming king? No. Surely. Please look well.
1) God, who changed the going to the land of Moab into missions
They went to the land of Moab. God changed that into missions. Right?
2) God, who brought Ruth as a missionary and restored the covenant and even let a figure like David emerge
They were dying and accidents happened. Anyway, a person goes once. God brought Ruth, a Gentile woman, as a missionary. Through that woman, the covenant was restored and a figure like David also emerged. You must grasp it.
3) God, who called the useless “me” and uses me as an evangelist
To you who were useless, to the useless “me,” God sometimes calls and uses us as evangelists—that is the word. There are too many such things.
2. The real answer – The evangelism movement that stops disasters and darkness
Then what is the real answer? The evangelism movement that stops disasters and darkness is the real answer. Right?
1) That which can be done even without God cannot stop disasters and darkness.
You earned a lot of money. It can be an answer. You went to a good school. It can be an answer. However, that can be done even without God. Something more important: that cannot stop disasters. Right? It cannot stop darkness. It’s an uproar now. It’s enough if evidence has come this much.
In Europe, mental patients are swarming, doing drugs, doing them on the street, doing them in the room—they are doing it now. How much more must they perish to realize the Gospel? Even though we say it won’t do without only the Gospel, the church doesn’t do it. It does something else.
Now, ask a person living in America. People who come out and sleep on the street have increased immensely now. One thing that changed is that before, a person sleeping on the street was a bit obvious—they looked like a beggar. These days it’s not like that. They don’t look like a beggar but they come out and sleep.
In Japan too, now mental patients have changed slightly. It’s a bit different from before. They are all tidy and looking at Time magazine. There are more of them.
2) The blessing many people speak of is not the true blessing.
We must reach a conclusion. Many people deceive us. “No, living long is a blessing.” Is it? A person who received the blessing should live long. Right? One who hasn’t even received the blessing shouldn’t live long. “Oh my, health is a blessing.” It is. But also a person who received the blessing should be healthy; if one who hasn’t even received the blessing is healthy, that becomes a problem. Many people say so.
3. Past (finish it), Today (grasp the certain covenant), Future (for the posterity)
Today we firmly grasp the certain covenant and finish the past like this Ruth. Today, we grasp the certain covenant. Future—what is it? For the posterity. Grasping the covenant. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today becomes an important day. I will pray.
Prayer. We give thanks to God. May today become an important day. May it be a day for obtaining new strength. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
