The Correct Temple Is Given by God as Evidence

Sunday 2nd service, sanctuary building dedication service
Title / Scripture: The Right Sanctuary Is What God Gives As Evidence (Matthew 28:16-20)
Speaker: Rev. Kwang-soo Ryu
Date / Location: June 5, 2022, Emmanuel Church (Busan)

Matthew 28:16-20

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Summary

▣ Introduction

3・9・3 – Pray that the Triune God, the blessing of the throne, and the answer that saves the age would come upon you. Do it deeply enough that your breathing slows. ▷ You must have a fundamental spiritual power. When someone has that power, there is peace when you draw near to them. One hour – deep prayer – Rise one hour early and enter into deep prayer. ▷ The body also changes according to one’s spiritual state. If you begin the day with deep prayer and close the day the same way, everything is restored. Because people have not enjoyed the secret of prayer, and have not been taught it, what has arisen throughout the whole world is the meditation movement. The right sanctuary – Keep praying about what the right sanctuary building really is. Face-to-face system transcending time and space – contactless throne system – He told us to go to every people group, but the answer that comes will be that it cannot be done except through the power of the throne that transcends time and space and a contactless system. The multi-ethnic peoples who have come here have become a face-to-face system. Each of them must have their own space. Then, with a system that transcends time and space, we can connect online to the 237, the 5,000 tribes, and carry out education, healing, life, and culture. 237-5000 – education, healing, life – market, culture – Let us build a sanctuary that can educate the 237, the 5,000 tribes, heal them, actually touch their lives, and bring their culture to life. ▷ Education is barely happening among the 237, the 5,000 tribes. We must be able to educate them without going to them. They are nearly all sick. You yourselves must have a time of deep prayer, a time of enjoying the power of the throne that transcends time and space, and receive tremendous healing. Preparing this is the right sanctuary. The thing that digs deepest into life is the economy, the market. The three organizations are attacking hard through the avenue of culture. The three organizations are digging in through this idol movement called meditation and through energy exercises – this alone must be blocked. Whole-congregation prayer connection – Take all of this and connect the whole congregation in prayer. ▷ It can be decided according to the age, grace, and ability that God has given me.

▣ Main

Sanctuary restoration – Let us restore the sanctuary that can accomplish this (the introduction).

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd sanctuary – These did not fulfill this role (the introduction).
The three courtyards – Because there were no courtyards for the 237, for the next generation, and for healing, God did away with the sanctuary.
The 237 who have come – There must be a space where they can stand and feel that they have come to my church.

Church restoration

Trinity (the Triune God) – Baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Authority of the throne – All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Together – I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.

Future restoration

Thessalonica church, Corinth church, Ephesus church, Philippi church, Colossae church
The 7 churches – the seven churches that Christ is holding with his right hand
World evangelization – In this way, world evangelization happens, just once, as it did in the early church.

▣ Conclusion

▷ I am currently preparing a message on the 237, healing, and summit. Because the answer is found only in Scripture, you have no choice but to be used. Do not calculate over the answer – keep praying, and your prayer will change. You will see that you had been praying to fill your own desires. You will see what belongs to God. Restore the sanctuary to which the 237, the 5,000 tribes can come. Hold onto this covenant and pray. Do not worry about anything – restore this power. These people must be able to come and take hold of God’s covenant. The evangelism of all evangelism is the sanctuary. If you keep praying continually for one week, God’s absolute plan will begin to be fulfilled. He will give you the answer and the power first.

Transcript

▣ Introduction

[One hour – deep prayer]

You have a set time you need to wake up tomorrow morning, don’t you? Wake up one hour earlier than that. I myself wake up two or three hours earlier. All of you should at least wake up about one hour earlier and enter into deep prayer. Doctors who do not believe in Jesus do not know this. Doctors who believe in Jesus know that the body changes according to prayer and according to the heart, but those who do not believe do not know it. That is why I do not consider them to be right doctors. Because our bodies change according to our spiritual state. Those who believe in Jesus know this, but ordinary people do not. If you begin the day with deep prayer and close the day the same way, your health, and everything else, will be restored. Because you have not done this (one hour of deep prayer) and have not taught it, the meditation movement now sweeping the whole world has broken out in a frenzy. Soon, children will be receiving meditation training and education almost everywhere. It is digging its way in through the Ministry of Education. It is a shameful thing. This is happening because you have not enjoyed the secret of prayer, and have not spoken of it.

[The right sanctuary]

Now, once you try this, pray continually this week over the question, “What really is the right sanctuary building?”

[Transcending time and space – the throne]

If you do this, one answer will come out. If you truly keep praying, one answer will come out, and that answer is, “It cannot be done except by transcending time and space.” Transcending time and space is the power of our throne – the answer that comes is that it cannot be done without this.

[237-5000]

How will you actually go to the 237, the 5,000 tribes? You really cannot go. Isn’t that so? But there is only one way to go. Isn’t it only this spiritual answer of transcending time and space, together with actually going online? We must build a sanctuary that prepares for this, I am telling you.

[Education]

Right now, education is barely happening among these 237 tribes. Not only is it hard to even reach these people, but educating them is even harder. So this is the answer that you must greatly realize now, in this era of COVID. We must be able to educate without going. Unless we prepare such a sanctuary, we will not be able to survive going forward. This is our opportunity. You must remember this. As I see it now, many of the churches that have been built will need to change a great deal. When you are no longer on this earth, the next generation will probably be left with church buildings they cannot use. This answer of transcending time and space is a tremendous answer – without connecting to this, there can be no university, no hospital, nothing at all.

[Healing]

Now, how will you heal these people? They are almost all sick right now. What is certain is that even among children and adults of those living in America – who may carry a calling – there is such a degree of mental and emotional trouble that even the parents do not know about it. The church must now do this healing. You yourselves must have this time (one hour – deep prayer) and receive tremendous healing. Have a time of enjoying this power of the throne that transcends time and space, I am telling you. Preparing this is the right sanctuary. Tremendous evidences will come. If you were to discover that our church has truly found the plan that God wants, what would happen? If we prepare a church building that has discovered God’s plan, what would God do, I ask you? That is what we are looking for now – He told us to go to every people group.

[Contactless system]

The only way we can go is through this (transcending time and space – the throne) and a contactless system. Isn’t that so?

[Face-to-face system]

And then, there are important people here with us, aren’t there? Those people are now set up in a face-to-face system. Now, aren’t there foreigners among these people? They must not simply come to our church and wait. Every one of them must have their own space. If they come to church and just wonder vaguely where they might be, and then leave, world evangelization can never happen. They must come here and fire out toward the 237, the 5,000 tribes, like this. We must make this kind of preparation. What I am saying now may be a little difficult. But you must not fail to understand it. Churches across the whole nation and the whole world must understand this. Right now, if this preparation (the introduction) is not made, it cannot be done. This morning, when the elder was announcing the plan, I noticed that thirty interpretation booths had been set up. With about thirty, we can reach the whole world. It must be done. Now here is another mistake – because we, the church, are not doing this, the three organizations will surely move into this area (237-5000, education, healing). This alone must be blocked. The three organizations, with this idol movement called meditation, with energy exercises, are digging their way into this area (237-5000, education, healing) right now, I tell you.

[Life]

Now, not only healing, but going forward, much of life as well – unless we do this (face-to-face system, transcending time and space – the throne, contactless system), it cannot be connected. So the thing that digs deepest looking at this area of life is the economy, the market, I am telling you. It will dig in fiercely. If you go to Japan, there is the great Asakusa Temple. Many people go to see it. That era is over, I tell you. Do you understand? Now people go rushing off to see the great sanctuaries and temples of Europe. That kind of era is now ending, I tell you. You go there just to look around once, but there is nothing inside. That is where it ends. Now, we must be able to educate the 237, the 5,000 tribes, heal them, and actually touch their lives. Let us build such a sanctuary. It does not end there.

[Culture]

Now this becomes another great commotion. Do you know why they keep saying BTS, BTS? You must catch on to this – though they are Korean, they are attacking hard through this avenue of culture right now. So now the internet is the problem – right now the internet does not reach the 5,000 tribes, I tell you. Someone will try to break through this. But there are cell phones that work in that direction. Isn’t that so? Those phones are faster. If so, going forward, YouTube and this era will erupt into a commotion, this very thing, right now. So what the church must prepare, and what kind of sanctuary it must build – that is the answer that has come out. (Introduction) Pray about this. Most of you here can probably live thirty more years. If you truly pray and skip one meal, your health will also improve. That money would be ten thousand won, and over thirty years that comes to over one hundred million won. Isn’t that so? Calculate it sometime. Just by cutting out useless things, it adds up for us. How much do we waste? Just not doing that would be enough. So now, what must our Emmanuel Church do from here on? Do not just leave this whole thing (the introduction) as it is – connect the whole congregation in prayer. Elders and ministers, make this happen. If someone is not a person who can be connected in prayer with the whole congregation, that person is like a dead person. Isn’t that so? Devise a prayer that can connect everyone in prayer. If necessary, it is fine to give a set fasting time of skipping one meal a day. Whether you actually fast or not is not the point. The point is that being given that time becomes time in which I can pray. Connect the whole congregation in prayer. Now, among you, some will emerge who pray the 24. They are special people, and even those who cannot do that must still be connected in prayer – the whole congregation must begin to pray. According to the age, grace, and ability that God has given me, I can decide this myself. This is how it is done. Let me put it simply. The 237 nations, the 5,000 tribes urgently need education, healing, this (life – market, culture). A church that can provide this. A church that can connect them to this (education, healing) when they come. A church where the 237, the multi-ethnic peoples, can come and work as though it were their own home. Do you understand what I mean? A church where those multi-ethnic people do not come and stay like guests, but bring their own bags, open and close doors with their own key, and pray and work there. Then these people will be able to do this (education, healing, life – market, culture) online. And we must be able to connect, with a system that transcends time and space, to the 237 nations, the 5,000 tribes. In fact, there will be no need to go there at all. Around next year, this will probably appear a lot in the news. Rather than constructing buildings, most universities will probably sell them and go online instead – this kind of news will come out. Right now this may sound like an odd thing to be praying about, but hospitals that can treat well online will probably emerge – this kind of result will come. Right now this may sound a little like a joke, but within a few years it will change completely. Now even department stores must come to their senses about this situation – people will need to buy without going in person, this is how it will be. Something else will also emerge. There are many people who are desperate because they cannot buy luxury goods, but an age will come when that country connects directly to us simply over the internet.

▣ Main

Sanctuary restoration

First. Let us restore the sanctuary that can accomplish this (the introduction). The diagram above (the introduction) is extremely important. You must look at it carefully.

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd sanctuary Why did God give the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd sanctuary, and why did He do away with them? Because the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd sanctuary failed to fulfill this role (the introduction).
The three courtyards There were no three courtyards. There was no courtyard for the 237 nations to come to, no courtyard for the next generation to move in, and no courtyard where healing could take place, I tell you. That is why God did away with it.
The 237 who have come What matters even more is this – as we think about how our church should be built, there must be space that the 237 who have come can use. What do I mean by space? It could mean rooms, but it means these people must feel exactly the same as if they had come to my house, to my church. For example, when I come here, I have my own room, don’t I? Imagine if that were not there. What would I have to do? I would have to leave without being able to do anything. Isn’t that so? I would just have to preach and leave. Nothing could be done. If our ministers had no rooms, what would happen? How could those workers function? In reality they could do nothing. Right now our 237 and 5,000 tribes are like that even when they come to Korea. There is nothing for them. Now, if we build such a sanctuary, what will God do?

Church restoration

We are not simply restoring the sanctuary. We must restore the church. That is what Jesus was speaking of today. What did He say?

Trinity “Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” The Triune God appears here. Isn’t that so?
Authority of the throne “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” All authority in heaven and on earth – that is tremendous. With the authority of the throne.
Together And what else did He say? “I will be with you always.” This is what must be restored. There is much more, but it is all contained here. “Teach them to obey everything I have commanded.” “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Begin to pray. Do not think too much in the morning – just pray.

[3・9・3]

I am telling you to pray this. That the Triune God would come upon me. That the nine blessings of the throne would come upon me. And then what? That the answer that saves the age would come upon me. Pray. Some of you say, “I have depression” – do not be deceived by that. There is no one who can cure it, so do not be deceived – receive good help from a doctor while also praying this (3・9・3) prayer. So how deep should this prayer be? Deep enough that your breathing slows down. For example, the moment we look up at the high sky, our breath naturally lengthens. No one gasps sharply, “huh!” while looking up at the high sky. That’s not how it is. But when you look at something close up, your breath becomes like this (short breaths). Even just looking far off, our breathing naturally slows. In that way, you must be able to have leisure and go deep in prayer. Fundamentally, you must have this power – it is not a matter of “this made it happen” or “that made it happen.” That differs according to circumstance. There is something indescribable – you must have a fundamental spiritual power. Then it shows on this person. Isn’t that so? The moment you draw near to that person, there is already peace. It shows.

Future restoration

What kind of sanctuary must you pray for? All of you are already doing this, but it is a sanctuary that restores the future.

Thessalonica Now, what kind of church is this? The Thessalonica church. It was tremendous. Corinth And because one person came alive, because the couple Priscilla and Aquila came alive, the Corinth church. Ephesus In the region of Tyrannus, the Ephesus church. Philippi Because that one woman Lydia appeared, the Philippi church. Colossae Because a person like Philemon appeared among you, the Colossae church. These works began to happen this way.
The 7 churches That is not all. The seven churches in the Book of Revelation. The seven churches that Christ holds with His right hand. These answers begin to be prepared, one after another.
World evangelization In this way, world evangelization happens on earth, uniquely, just once. After that, it did not happen again. Now this must be restored. What Martin Luther did with the Reformation was, at that time, a political reform. In actuality, it was not a true reformation. So world evangelization happened just once, in the early church. This must be restored. If you understand this principle (the introduction), it becomes very simple. That is why I am now preparing a message on the 237, healing, and summit. I already have almost twenty-four notebooks. I am continuing to prepare. Because the answer is found only in Scripture, you cannot help but be used. Pray deeply for one week. Do not calculate over what answer comes – just keep praying, and your prayer itself will change. You will come to realize that you have been praying while holding onto your own agenda. It becomes visible to God. Before, you kept praying to fill your own desires. It becomes visible to God. Why must we wait here for God’s work that will change the age? There must be a reason, mustn’t there? Restore the sanctuary to which the 237, the 5,000 tribes, can come. So now, the multi-ethnic peoples coming to our country, to Busan – do you know them? This is extremely important. These people must be able to come to this church. There must be an answer of, “If I go to that church, I can evangelize my own country.” “There, my own people, whom no one else has been able to reach, I went to Emmanuel Church, and I was able to run an errand to deliver a message to them there.” That is how it must be. Then, when they come and worship, they will say, “This truly is a church.” “Wow, this is a church where the Triune God works, a church where the blessing of the throne of heaven and earth comes, a church where I can truly enjoy this blessing.” That is how future evangelization happens. Take hold firmly of this covenant and pray. I do the 24. When there is simply nothing else to do, I keep doing it. So it is not that I open my eyes in the morning, sit for exactly one hour, and pray deeply – if I am able to go deep, it is also possible even while moving. Isn’t that so? If I am able to enjoy God’s word, to enjoy a deep moment, I do not need to sit down for it. It is possible while moving, as much as I like. For example, today, I entered into this prayer while moving around for three hours. I pray at every hour over how I wish our members would have prayed this past week – like this. That is why I have shown you my notes and told you these practical things – it is so that you would do the same. A tremendous, invisible fifth power arises first. Especially our ministers. You must live – you are the future. Do not worry about anything – restore this power (the introduction). What happens when things start to go a little well for us? If you show off too much, it shows that you are not a large vessel. Then God will not give it to you. Be careful, and be careful only about that. Don’t you notice how people who become a little successful tend to become arrogant? That means “the vessel is small.” Isn’t that so? Just do not fall into that. And becoming discouraged too quickly is the same thing. That means you have already reached your limit – the vessel has reached its limit. Just do not make that mistake. So this is not about us building some especially grand church – it means that these people (the people in the introduction) must be able to come and take hold of God’s covenant. Isn’t that so? That is why the evangelism of all evangelism is the sanctuary. Depending on what kind of sanctuary it is, so much work, so much evidence, can happen. Even, I tell you, an unbeliever on Yeongdo Island could say, “Ah, coming to this church really becomes a rest, and it’s good.” How wonderful would that be? That is how it must be done. God will accomplish sanctuary restoration, church restoration, and future restoration through you. Just hold firmly onto this covenant. Pray continually for one week. Then, another week will pass again, won’t it? And within this, God’s absolute plan will begin to be fulfilled. So if you hold firmly onto the covenant, you will first receive God’s grace. The answer will come to you first. God will give you strength first. I will pray now.

Prayer

We thank you, God. Let this week also become a week of great grace. Let it become a week in which we see spiritual secrets. Let the whole congregation enter into the blessing of this prayer. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
