Do not limit God to thinking the way we do

Most Korean people think that roosters cry 'kkokkio,' dogs bark 'meong meong' and cats say 'yaong.' However, Americans think that roosters cry ‘cock-a doodle-doo,' dogs bark 'bow-wow' and cats cry 'meow.' The disparity exists not because those animals indeed cry different languages. Nevertheless the people in each country think that they cry differently from one country to another, because they have learned to hear the sounds that way from their childhood.

Think of a yellow pistil of a flower. It appears yellow to us, but to dogs it appears white (because dogs are color-blind and perceive things in only black and white) and to bees it appears red. Can we say confidently that the color we perceive is real? Can we truly believe that all our senses are basically reliable?

Think about the earth's revolution. The earth moves around the sun at a speed of about 108,000km per hour. However, our body doesn't feel any speed. Besides this there are a lot of things that we can't perceive with our senses. But most people acknowledge only the things that they can see and perceive with their senses and believe only what they think are right. How foolish they are!

By using our own senses, we can't discern between the true and the false. So God said, "Judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes" (1Co. 4:5). Nevertheless many interpret the Bible in their own ways. Each of them insists that only their interpretation is true, even denying the truth uttered by God Himself. What a blasphemous act!

We must not believe in only the visible. Instead of insisting upon our own ideas, we need to ask God to open our spiritual eyes to read the Bible with correct understanding for we can't receive Christ fully with our own way of thinking.

From whose point of view should we look at Christ? We must see Him through the eyes of those who are saved, so that we can understand Him correctly and get salvation. For the goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. Let's look at Christ through their eyes.

Rev. 14:1~5 『Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 ... No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. ... 』

From the view point of the 144,000 who have been redeemed, Christ dwells in Zion. We must find Zion and know her law in order to meet Christ. In the eyes of those outside Zion, Christ cannot be found. We should not look at the Bible in a church's view no matter what the church says, neither should we look at it from the point of view of a person.

Think of the yellow pistils of flowers. Only the human eye can perceive the color as yellow; neither the eyes of insects like bees nor the eyes of animals can see it the same way. Without understanding such a mystery, we can't understand God. We need to know at least a part of God's creation in order to understand the Bible. Many fall into error, because they try to look at God's word, a mystery of Wonderful Counselor, with a finite and very limited human mind or understanding.

Christ, the Mystery of mysteries, whom we meet in Zion

Revelation 14 shows us that Christ dwells in Zion. The Lamb dwells in Zion with the 144,000 who have been redeemed. Let's find out what Zion indicates.

Isa. 33:20~24 『Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; ... There the LORD will be our Mighty One. ... For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. ... 』

Zion is the place where the Biblical feasts are celebrated. God is the Judge, the Lawgiver and the King of the people who dwell in Zion with Him. As there is a law by which a king rules over his people in the world, so there is the law of the new covenant by which God the King of Zion governs His people.

Every country has different laws. People in each country can't be easily adapted to foreign laws. Likewise, those who are not God's people are not willing to observe the laws of Zion which God has established for they are not the people of the kingdom.

It is in the last days that God proclaims His law in Zion (Mic. 4:1). Many will stream to Zion to find the way to salvation. In the Day of Judgment, those who do not know the law of Zion will be judged by that law [the new covenant]. Without abiding in Zion no one can know the law and avoid God's judgment. We should break free of the fixed ideas so that we can meet God whom the Bible testifies about. Now, let's find out what blessings God bestows upon His people in Zion.

Ps. 132:13~14 『For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling: "This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it-』

Ps. 133:1~3 『How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.』

Thus, God has chosen Zion and made it His dwelling, where He bestows His blessing-life forever. Only from the point of view of the people in Zion can people recognize Christ, the greatest Mystery of all mysteries; only those in Zion can receive Him and have the blessing of eternal life for God lets them look at everything from His standpoint and evaluate it according to His standards.

Only in Zion can we understand the Christ who is the great mystery hidden for ages. God has given us, who are in Zion, the blessing of eternal life and the invitation into the kingdom of heaven. How precious God's invitation is!

There are our lost brothers and sisters who cannot recognize Chirst because their spiritual eyes are not opened. Let's lead them quickly to Zion so that their spiritual eyes may be open to recognize Christ, the mystery of God. Let's share the blessings of salvation with them, by delivering God's invitations to them. Then we will receive God's praise when we go back to our heavenly home.
