OUR HEAVENLY MANSION


N
ow this hour, let’s see the beautiful home, our sweet home where we will live with our Father for eternity in heaven. Let’s take a look at our heavenly mansion.
If you look at Revelation chapter 21, the description of our house almost takes up the entire chapter, but let’s read from verse 10.
[And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone].
When it’s written here in verse 10 that He carried me away in the spirit, it’s no different than as if you actually went and touched it with your own hands. The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit do not add or subtract from Their words; our God cannot lie. So if God showed it to us, then this is no different than as if we had actually touched it with our hands. So all you have to do is believe it as He says.
Let’s continue, beginning with verse 11. […having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.]
So let’s look at our own house where we will all live with our Father for eternity. People in this world are so selective in choosing a house they will only live in for ten or twenty years, that will only get worn out or burn away, or decay and disappear. They check to see if it’s facing the north or the south, whether it is a second story building, or if there is a well, or if the water supply is good or not – they check everything. But when it comes to our eternal home where they will live in for eternity, they don’t seem to care much about it. Perhaps it’s because such people won’t be able to live there anyway.
Then, do you believe without a doubt that you are God’s sons and daughters who will live there eternally with our Father forever? All the words written here in Revelation, especially when it comes to our house, will you believe them? I hope you will believe. Even people considered holy like Confucius never lied, only telling the truth, so how could the God of heaven ever lie? If He says He will give us this house, then all you need to do is simply believe Him.
Then, let’s take a look at our house that we will live together with our Father. Let’s take a look at the wall first. 

This wall, what does it say here? It is 144 cubits in height; if you calculate 1 cubit as approximately 45 centimeters, then that’s about 65 meters, or about 200 feet. So this wall is 65 meters in height. Then is it made of red bricks or hollow blocks? It says the wall is made of jasper stone, a precious stone, a jewel. How wide is it then? 12,000 furlongs, that’s 185 meters. 185 multiplied by 12,000 is about 1,500 miles or more than 2,400 kilometers. This is the house promised by God and it has already been fulfilled.
That is a huge house. Even 24 kilometers is so far you couldn’t see its end, but this isn’t 24 or 240, the wall is 2,400 kilometers long. And at 65 meters high, what is it made of? It’s made of jasper stone, a jewel. It’s not silver or gold, but a more costly jewel, the jasper stone. A wall 65 meters high and 2,400 kilometers long is all made of that precious jewel, the jasper stone. 65 meters is about the height of about 5 or 6 electric poles – truly is it high?
Which buildings have the highest fences or walls? Yes, prisons, jails. But probably it will only be about 6 or 7 meters high; however, the walls of our heavenly home is 65 meters high, ten times higher. Even 5 or 6 electric poles raised above each other would be a formidable height, but this wall is also 2,400 kilometers long, and it’s made of jasper stone, shiny and smooth like glass. Even a fly would slip trying to land on this wall. 

And what is the gate made out of? One single pearl, not pearl fragments put together but a single pearl. Then how large is this gate? In this world, when we look at walls with gates, the door is about 1/5 of the gate, because if the wall is big and the gate is small, it doesn’t look well proportioned; and if the gate is big and the wall is small, it wouldn’t look good either, so probably about 20% of the wall would be the gate. Then if one side is 2,400 kilometers, and there are only 12 gates, imagine how large this gate must be. It’s many more times larger than Korea. Out of 2,400 kilometers, there are only 12 gates, and I cannot describe how massive those gates are. To more easily understand it, though our Father did not mention it in the Bible, you can just think of this gate as being so big that hundreds of buses can pass through it side by side, or just think of a landing strip for planes – that is the approximate size of our gate. That’s all you need to know. And that huge, massive gate is made of a single pearl.
And the road to that gate is made of asphalt? No, it’s made of raw gold, pure gold covers that road. The gold in this world is dead gold; not living gold but dead gold. Gold that has been refined in the fire is dead and does not shine. But if you look at the raw gold in gold mines, even in the dark they shine. So this road is made out of pure gold, and it is not dead gold but living pure gold.

There is no night in heaven, but if it were up to me, it might be nice if there was night there. Why? Then we could see the road leading to our house sparkling in the darkness. What a sight that would be to see the raw jewels shining and dazzling in the darkness. But unfortunately, there is no night there.
So gold covers the road, and if you follow that road, where does it lead? It leads to our house, our Sweet Home. That is our home. The homes you are living in now aren’t even motels; what did Jesus say they were? He said they were pigpens. That’s what Jesus said. If there were bathrooms in heaven, then could they be compared to our homes here? The houses in this world – they brag about the houses here, it’s French style, etc., but that’s useless. Jesus said they were pigpens. “The houses you are living in are not your homes but pigpens. This is your home.”
So the wall is jasper, the gate is a single pearl, and the streets are gold. Then what would the inside of the house be like? Please don’t even try to imagine it. I am so thankful to our Father for not telling us about the interior of this house.
In my hometown, there is a house there that you must pass through several gates to reach the main house. Apparently, after the ancestors of that owner built that massive tile-roofed house, they couldn’t sleep for forty years. These days, everyone has tile-roofed houses, but back then, you were considered quite rich if you lived in a tile-roofed house. If a person lived in a tile-roofed house, then got married to someone with a tile-roofed house, and died in a tile-roofed house, then that person was quite famous in that district. When everyone lived in straw-thatched houses, if you lived in a tile-roofed house and got married and lived in a tile-roofed house, then you would be quite famous. You would be considered such a fortunate person.
So even though it was an old-fashioned house, and you had to go through many gates to reach the big, tile-roofed house, the owner was so happy after building that house that he couldn’t sleep for forty years. At twilight, he was so happy he couldn’t sleep, then at dawn when he awakes, he would be so happy he could no longer remain lying in bed. So if our Father had recorded in detail the interior of our house in the Bible, then what would happen? We probably wouldn’t be able to sleep either. Because our Father was worried we would not be able to get the much needed sleep in this wearisome world filled with sin, He hid the details for our sakes. That is how thoughtful and considerate our Father is.
When I think about this house, I’m so happy that I can’t even sleep at night. You know our Father does not lie. This is undoubtedly our home. God never lies. Even someone like Confucius didn’t lie, so how could God lie? And this house is not given to the universal beings; it is given to all of you. It is yours for the taking so don’t worry.
The foundation stones of the city walls were decorated with every kind of jewel. The first foundation is what? Jasper; second, sapphire; third, chalcedony; fourth, emerald; fifth, sardonyx; sixth, sardius; seventh, chrysolite; eighth, beryl; ninth, topaz; tenth, chrysoprase; eleventh, jacinth; twelfth, amethyst. Out of these twelve jewels, how many have you seen? Once I heard that someone came with a jade ring, but I have never even seen what jade looks like. It’s written that this house is adorned with these twelve jewels of the universe.
Now on this huge wall 2,400 kilometers in length, how large must these foundation stones be. And each foundation stone has the name of the disciples: Peter, John…; unfortunately if Judas had not been so heedless, his name would have been written eternally on that foundation stone, but he lost it to Matthias in his rash foolishness. I hope that you will not lose your foundation stone to Matthias.
To say these twelve foundation stones are Jesus’ twelve disciples means that it’s all of you because Jesus’ twelve disciples represent all of you. I hope that your names will be forever inscribed upon these foundation stones.
Next, there are nameplates upon this house. It’s written that upon them are the twelve tribes of Israel. This also means your names are inscribed on them. When someone buys or builds a house, what do they put on the door? They put their nameplate on the door. Our Father has no greed. Though He built this house and it is the palace of the universe, He has placed your names upon the nameplate saying it is yours.
One time, I went to visit Jeju Island, and there, Elder Choo said to me, “Teacher, let’s go to the best hotel in our country.” “Oh, what hotel is that?” “It’s called the Hyatt Hotel.” “Oh, ok, let’s go take a look.” And we went. It was my first time seeing it and it was really marvelous. The elevators were painted gold and the floors were all made of marble and glass, and the stairs were all painted gold as well. Then I asked the person working there, “How much does it cost to sleep one night here?” and he replied, “Four hundred dollars.” But because I looked so shabby, he told me the price of a cheap room; the really expensive rooms go for 1,500 dollars a night. Then he asked, “Will you stay a night here?” And I quickly replied, “Oh, no, no, no, thank you.” People who have money to throw away should sleep in a place like that, it’s not for everyone. It’s not like they have beds made of gold or anything like that, it’s really nothing, merely some marble and glass, but they ask for 1,500 dollars a night! So our house which has a wall made of jasper and gates made of pearl – how much should a night cost there? How much? 300 dollars a night? Truly you are the sons and daughters of a wealthy household. Truly you are!
Which country is the richest in the world? “America.” People say, “Wow! America!” and everybody wants to live in America. Then, what are the gates of the house of the president of the richest nation in the world made of? Is it made of pure gold? No, it will be marble at the most. What will his door be made of? It will be made of brass or iron at the most. And it will probably have floors only made of concrete. Please don’t be envious of America; the country is merely a beggar’s can, it’s nothing. Why do people say, “Oh, America!” and they think it’s such a great thing to go to America.
Once, a princess from New York told me, “I’m so embarrassed to say that I came from America here. When I go out to the world, I say, I came from America. But when I come here, I feel so embarrassed and ashamed.” Why? It’s because she came to a rich household.
And in this house, there are a countless number of people who lived holy lives walking with God on this earth having discarded all greed, selfishness, and avarice like Enoch. These holy sons and daughters of God will live with our God the Father for eternity, and there is a table there. This table is so long, many miles long, and do you know what this table is made out of? It is a silver white that shines like a white gem. And there, the saints will sit and share love at the same table as our heavenly Real Father, to live and eat with Him for eternity. I hope that you will believe this. Surely God never lies.
Though this table is many miles long, we will all sit there and talk with one another and converse with our Father, and why is it a silver white table? This silver white represents joy. Since the Father and His children had been separated for six thousand years, it will be the happiest meal, and that’s why it is made out of silver white. I hope that we’ll all meet together and sit face to face at that silver table.
And why is it a gate of pearls? Since the children who are as precious as pearls will walk through these gates, the gates are made of pearls to represent His precious children. Then, why is it called the Golden Jerusalem? Because gold represents love. Those who love our Real Father and love all religions and humanity as their own brothers and sisters will live there loving one another; that is why it is called the Golden Jerusalem.
And why are the streets made out of gold as well? Do you know which of the precious stones are the cheapest? It is gold. Silver is not even considered a precious stone. So the cheapest of all precious stones is gold. Then why did God choose the cheapest jewel, gold, and not something better to cover the street? “Perhaps our Father used so many jewels to make the wall, He ran out, that’s why He made the street of gold.” No, that’s not it at all. If our Father says, “Let it be made out of pearls,” then it will all be pearls. “Let it be made of white gems,” then it will be made with white gems. Then why did He make it out of gold? It is because gold represents love. Those who love God and love others as their own selves will walk together on this road of love, and that is why it is made of the gold of love. That’s why everything has a meaning, and He made this home all having its own special meaning.
Since the wall is made of jasper and the gate is made of pearl, then what will the actual house be made of? I hope you will think about that day and night and in your dreams and not follow this sin-filled world. I wonder what the stairs inside will be made of? I wonder what the house will be like? Oh, it will be so wonderful. If you go to the cities in the world, they have houses made in French style, Italian style, and they are truly beautiful. Since even people with an IQ of 130 have made such amazing houses, we cannot imagine how much more incredible will be the home made for us by our Father and Jesus who have an IQ that is infinite.
That’s why it’s written that the angels looked at this house and were struck with wonder and admiration. This house made for us is so incredible that even angels are struck with awe and utterly fascinated. Feeling pity for these children that had lived apart from our Father for six thousand years going through all kinds of suffering, He does not live with His children on another star, but He will live with us. It’s because He feels such pity for these children who had gone through such suffering. I hope that you will not lose this opportunity and throw away your futile lives, don’t waste it on worthless things, but may you make all the effort to enter into this house.
I used to travel quite a lot before, a long while ago. When I first began this work, no one helped me, and I only traveled alone. At the time, I was so free. If I wanted to take a bus, I could take a bus, if I wanted to take the train, I could take the train; I could go anywhere and ride anything I pleased. But once this work expanded on a worldwide level, I became a slave with no freedom at all. It’s a good thing I am a happy slave, it would have been quite a problem if I were a miserable slave.
So before, I could travel wherever I wanted, but now do you know what happens? When I’m sitting at home, someone says, “Come here,” “Why?” “Ride this car,” so I ride the car and we go for a while; “You stay in this house,” I sit there. When it’s meal time, “You eat this,” “Ok,” “Now go out and speak,” I’ll go out and speak, and I’ll speak for ten days. “Come here,” “Why?” “Ride this car,” I go home; and when I go home, I can’t do anything that I want, everyone watches me. If I want to take the motorcycle, they say, “Where are you going?” and I must report where I’m going and what I’m doing. Oh, what a pain! But what a relief it is that I’m a happy slave.
But when I first started this work, I could go wherever I wanted, and no one would tell me what to do or where to go. Whether I went by car or walked, or I could just lie on the grass and meditate, it wouldn’t matter. One time while I was traveling alone like that, I was invited to Kangwon Province, so I left my home in Jeolla Province and rode on a luxury bus. And on this bus, there was a passageway, two chairs here and two chairs there. I was sitting on this side and just over there, two wealthy women were sitting together and bragging about their diamond rings, “Oh, my husband bought me this and it’s worth $8,000 and this one is worth $10,000. The diamonds were so tiny but they were boasting of them and I felt so sorry for them. “The gates in our house are made of pearls but they are bragging about such a tiny diamond….” Truly they were so pitiful. When we live in this house, is there anyone who will wear a $10,000 ring and brag about it there? They will probably take it off and throw it in the trash bin. Who would wear that?
Nowadays, my teeth are not in very good condition. They used to be very good, but having gone through many difficulties, my teeth became worse. People who go through hardships will find that their teeth deteriorate quickly. The dentist told me that he had to do something about my teeth, so I said, “Go ahead.” He began to grind my teeth and then you know what he did? He stuck a piece of our street into my mouth! Oh, I got so upset, I couldn’t even remove it. I am really being patient even now. Can you believe it? They put our golden street, a piece of that street into my mouth, so of course I would get upset, wouldn’t you?
One time in Seoul, some friends doing business gathered together, and they were saying, “These shoes were custom made at the Myeong-dong Department Store.” But what would happen if you walked on our golden street wearing such shoes? The heels would fall off eventually and someone would have to sweep the street. What if you went around wearing suits custom made by the Myeong-dong Department Store, what would happen then? There would have to be a factory that makes suits because those would eventually wear out.
In this place, we will wear the shoes that our Daddy gives us and swagger about wearing the garment of light that He has prepared for us. Who would be so shabby as to wear rings there? Is there anyone here who came wearing a ring this time? I hope that when you go back home, you’ll sell it and give that money to the poor. Rings are what people in the world who don’t know God wear, what orphans and beggars wear. Children of wealthy families don’t need to wear such things. People in the world want to boast of themselves, “This is me, look at me,” and in their pride and arrogance, they wear such jewelry. But God’s precious sons and daughters should not wear such things. Jewelry is for beggars. I hope that you’ll take them all off, sell them, and give to the poor. Keeping them is holding onto rotting money.
And don’t hold onto those brick homes in the midst of that sinful city where you can’t even breathe, but sell it and share with the poor. Instead, may you buy this house. You have to know when to make a good deal. People are so foolish, saying, This year the price of my house is going up fifty thousand dollars. It will go up again next year.Even if it goes up to fifty thousand dollars, now there’s no time to even use that money. So if you want to buy a house, you should buy a house that’s worth some money. Don’t end up dying grasping onto that worthless money.
I made a promise to you yesterday, didn’t I? I said, “I will make you a lot of money this Sabbath. A man of God keeps his promise, and a man of God takes responsibility for whatever he says. So then, have you kept the Sabbath holy today with me? I hope that you’ll continue to keep the Sabbath holy like this. All you have to do is keep a few more Sabbaths and you will arrive in this home. But if you become like the Jews or the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to defile the Sabbath, then I hope you’ll give up the Sabbath and go back to your businesses. Why should you lose this house and your money, to end up losing everything? There’s no need to do that. You must choose only one.
Will you keep the Sabbath holy as Jesus did? I hope you will. Every Sabbath you keep holy, you are buying a piece of this house. In only a few Sabbaths, we will surely arrive at this house, then you must realize what an incredible amount of money you have been making every Sabbath that you keep holy. This wall is 2,400 kilometers long and one gate is as wide as an airport runway, so even if you were to go through all the banks of America or Russia, or sell all the land on this earth, you couldn’t buy even a single gate from this house. But since you bought a corner of this immense mansion today on this Sabbath, truly have you made a lot of money or not? I told you I would keep my promise. I hope that you will thoroughly make money like this every Sabbath.
There was once an elder who lived very well in the city, but after listening to this Seminar, he packed up all his belongings and moved to the countryside, to live the life of a sage. I went to visit him and saw that because he used to live in Seoul and only worked receiving a salary, he had never farmed before, so how hard it must have been for him! He didn’t know anything about farming so it was a mess, sacks scattered here and there, and he came in to see me all tanned and worn out. But how beautiful he looked to me! He looked a hundred times more beautiful than when he used to receive a salary in Seoul. Why? This elder used to make a lot of money in the city, but here in the countryside, though he was tying bundles of grain and beans all day long, and though not much came out of his harvest, he was making a colossal amount of money.
When we live in our Real Father’s love, whether we are farming, whether we are plowing the ground or tying bundles of grains, at that moment when we live like that, we are traveling faster than the speed of light towards heaven. But if we leave God and make a million, billion dollars a day, every day we are just going one step closer to our graves. So if we live with the living God who is the source of life, then whether we are plowing the ground or whatever we do, we are traveling faster than the speed of light towards this heavenly mansion. Now do you know how much money you are making every day working in the countryside? Let’s not look at the property that will only burn away and disappear, but let’s rejoice looking at our property that will never disappear for eternity.
So if you are going to break the Sabbath like the Jews or the Seventh-day Adventists, then it’s better to just go back to your jobs right now, make your money and open your businesses. Otherwise, you should keep the Sabbath completely holy, like Jesus. I hope that you will keep the Sabbath thoroughly like Jesus and make a lot of money every Sabbath. You have to learn to make wise and clever choices.
If you look outside, there is a taxi that’s always parked there throughout the entire ten days of the Seminar. That taxi driver doesn’t seem to know how to calculate properly. If he makes a hundred dollars a day, then ten days means he could be making a thousand dollars, but he just parks it out there and is sitting here, listening to the stories I tell. Nowadays, I think he even sold that taxi. That taxi driver is truly smart. Let’s not desire for property that will only disappear, but let’s make an effort to gain that which will be ours for eternity.
In Osaka, Japan, there lived a man who had been the head of the Joong-ang Daily Newspaper. He was sent from Korea. He had two sons who were living in Seoul, and his sons were so very smart that they were on their way to entering Harvard University. They were quite gifted children.
One day, his wife and his children were coming to visit him in Osaka from Korea. His children were so smart and they were all prepared to go to Harvard University in America, so how happy he was at the thought of meeting his sons. He was thinking, “Oh, my sons are coming, I’ll buy them this and this,” and he went around the cities in Japan looking for the best things to buy for his sons. He had piles of gifts ready for them and was waiting for them to come, “Oh they’ll be here in a couple of hours, and when they open these presents, how happy will the older son be and how happy will the younger son be when he opens this.” And he thought about his two sons while he was waiting. But no matter how much time passed, they wouldn’t come. Anxious, he called to find out what happened, and he learned that there had been a plane accident and everyone had died. How that father held onto those gifts and wept aloud. In the news later, the announcer said that this father locked himself in the apartment in Seoul where his wife and two children had lived, bringing tears to the eyes of all those who saw the sight.
It is likewise with our Father. Every time He added a brick to that wall, stacking up that 65-meter wall of jasper, while He was hanging the pearly gates, whose face do you think came to mind? He was thinking of His youngest children, these youngest children who had suffered the most having left Daddy’s side for six thousand years; it was each of your faces He was thinking of as He built our home, brick by brick. While hanging up the pearly gates, He thought to Himself, “How happy will My son, My daughter be when they come skipping through this gate!” He put your names on the nameplates. In that Golden Jerusalem bigger than any mansion you’ve ever seen in Korea, He has placed your names on each house. Each of your names are recorded in heaven’s Book. Once the prodigals return to the bosom of our Real Father, their names are recorded in this Book, and as long as you don’t go out, you will live with our Father for eternity. Your names will never be erased from heaven for eternity.
So thinking of how happy His children would be walking through those gates, He built that mansion with your faces in mind, but imagine if all the children came in but a certain son or daughter didn’t. “Where is So-and-so?” And if He hears that you got into an accident on the way, that you fell due to the storms of heresy and error, then how our Father will weep aloud filled with unbearable sorrow. Even if it’s for our Father’s sake, I hope that you will surely enter those gates. And how much will our Father weep aloud while He takes down your names from the gates? I hope that for our Father’s sake, for His sake you will surely enter into this heavenly mansion.
So the wall is made of jasper, the gates are made out of pearl, and the streets are made of gold, and inside there are all kinds of jewels that adorn this heavenly home. Then, how much do you think it is worth? How much do you think it is? A million dollars? Ah, it must be at least a billion dollars, don’t you think? This home, like I told you before, you could sell everything on this rotting and polluted earth, and you still couldn’t buy even one pearly gate. God does not lie. Do you truly believe that He is going to give this house to you? But as I see it, I don’t think you believe it, you’re just saying Amen with your lips. You don’t really believe it. I hope that you will have some faith. God does not lie. Then I will tell you why I know you don’t believe what I’m saying.
Once there was a very poor man, and he ran out of food to eat. He and his children were on the verge of starving to death and upon searching his house inside out, he found exactly one bowl of barley. Wanting to survive no matter what, he went to the market to sell this barley to feed his children. On the way, he saw someone selling lottery tickets. Thinking to himself, “Oh, there’s no point, we’ll just end up dying eventually anyway. Why not?!” and he bought a lottery ticket. That bowl of barley would only be enough to feed his children for two meals at the most, then they would starve to death, so since they would die anyway, he thought why delay the inevitable and bought a lottery ticket instead. But that lottery ticket ended up being a million-dollar ticket.
Everyone in the neighborhood exclaimed, “Your ticket, it’s a million-dollar ticket!” And this man said, “What? A mill~ a mill~!” and he fainted. He fainted and died of shock. Why? It’s because he really believed that million-dollar lottery ticket was his.
But this heavenly mansion, it’s not a million dollars, you couldn’t even buy it if you sold a hundred or a thousand earths, but even though I’m telling you it’s yours, there is no one fainting at all. That’s why I know you don’t believe me. You should be saying, “Ggg~~! Gold~~! Golden City!” and you should be fainting. Or “Ppp~~! Pearly~~! Pearly Gates!” and you should be fainting away, because only then would you really be believing me. But how incredible it is that even though this wonderful heavenly mansion is given to you, there are people who still go out. Do you truly believe me? Look! No one is fainting!
Then, for sure, God who does not lie will give us this heavenly mansion and we will walk in there. But only those who have not even the slightest bit of selfishness or greed will be able to enter it. What would happen if those selfish Christians who are only greedy for money went there, what would happen then? Those greedy Christians who only say, “Money, money, money,” if they went there, what do you think would happen? Perhaps secretly they would scrape at the pearly gates to sell it, and the walls would collapse because they would pick at it. We must not have even the slightest bit of selfishness and greed in order to enter there. That’s why you must quickly move to the countryside and walk with God like Enoch. This is an indubitable fact.
Then when you go there, what do you think you will say? “You know, ah~ we really suffered that time when we went to Elijah Gospel Missionary Institute during the summer, it was so hot, we didn’t even have a fan, and we sweated so much!Is that what you will say? For a million, billion years you will only say, “Wow!” Looking here you will exclaim, “Wow!” Looking there, “Wow!” “Wooooow!” All you will say is “Wow, wow!” You won’t be able to say anything else because it will be so amazing. Shall we try practicing here? No, let’s forget it, it’s useless for you to be shouting half-heartedly like that.
Once there was a famous poet in China who wouldn’t write any poems. His friends used to come and say, “Hey, why don’t you recite us a poem,” “Ah, I’m trying to save it,” “Save it for what?” “When I go to the land of Chosun, Korea, the country of ‘Eastern Etiquette,’ I’m going to go to the Geum-gang Mountains; I’ll write lots of poems there. I’m saving myself for then.” And he wouldn’t write any poems, saving himself for then.
So this poet finally went to the Geum-gang Mountains that he had only dreamed of, he came to this land of Chosun, the country of “Eastern Etiquette.” But that famous genius poet from China departed not having written a single line of poetry. Do you know why? As he looked over here, he said, “Wow!” he looked over there, and said, “Wow!” He just said “Wow! Wow!” and then he ended up going home. So when we go to heaven, do you think you will be able to say anything? Just believe me, that’s all you need to do. It will be just exactly as I say.
I want you to truly believe that God is giving this to you, it’s yours. We are all children of the wealthiest household in the universe. Do not place your affections on that piece of paper, do not lose your focus for birds’ food, but may you all become as Enoch without any greed or selfishness, to end up as the owners of this heavenly mansion. This is our home, our house. What we are living in now is a pigpen. So all of you who have come here this time, many came from Korea and from foreign countries, but no matter where you live, let’s all meet again here in this heavenly home.
Then, let’s listen to a special song first; wait, hold on, let me end by saying one more thing.
This house is so big and so wonderful that even if all thousands of you went there, we would need a helicopter to find you. I hope that you will be rest assured and put all your strength into entering this house.
Here in Korea, they say there are about sixty million people living here including both North and South Korea. But there are so many mountains in Korea that when you go to the top, you can only see mountains, there are no fields. But there are sixty million people living throughout those valleys and mountains, and you could add millions more. There is more than enough land for more people to live. But in our heavenly mansion, there are no mountains. This heavenly mansion is several times bigger than Korea, and it’s so vast and wonderful that even if all of you lived there, you couldn’t be found. In other words, with the exception of those that can’t meet the requirements of entering this heavenly mansion, anyone and everyone can enter it. I will explain to you what are the conditions for not being able to enter this house. Who won’t be able to enter it? With the exception of those that don’t meet these requirements, everyone and anyone can go in, that’s how wonderful it is.
Then let’s look at Revelation chapter 21:8 [But the cowardly], first those who are afraid of God cannot go there. Do you like God? Do you love Him? Then without a doubt you will be an owner of that house.
Second, the [unbelieving], those who do not believe that love, for God so loved this world that He gave His only begotten Son to us. Those who doubt His love can never enter this house. Do you believe in God’s love? Then undoubtedly you will all be the owners of that house.
Third, the [abominable], those who do not have the image of God, who do not have His character, those people who live so wickedly and bear not the image of Jesus can never enter this house. But as I see all of you right now, there’s a light radiating from your faces. When you first came here, you looked at me with narrowed eyes, glaring at me. But now your faces have become like angels, so shiny and bright. You really might end up the owners of that house.
Fourth condition, the [murderers], those who hate their brethren, who curse other people and other churches, such people cannot enter here.
Next, the [sexually immoral], those who live compromising with the world and with God, You lewd women, do you not know that those who join themselves with the world make themselves enemies with God?” You should never be half world and half God. Will you follow God wholly and completely, dedicating yourselves to Him as Elijah? Yes, then surely you will be the owners of this house.
Next, [sorcerers, idolaters], those who are stubborn and proud can never enter this house. You must know how to obey God.
Next, [all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone], all liars who are the liars then? Those who preach on the pulpit, but when they come down from the pulpit live evil and wicked lives, in other words, people who don’t live according to what they preach are all liars. Will you obey the words and live according to them? Then you will all be owners of that house for sure. Your nameplates are already hanging on the doors so I hope you will make sure that you will not do anything that makes our Father weep as He takes your name down.
There’s one more thing left. There are twelve gates, and I said that there are angels standing at each gate, didn’t I? Then why are angels standing there? Every year you may have studied the Book of Revelation, I’m just giving you a taste of my interpretation of Revelation is it the same as in the world? It’s incomparable because this is the true Revelation.
Then from these twelve gates are beautiful angels standing there, and why are they standing there? “Oh, I know, because when it is night they have to lock the gates and when it is day time they will open the gates.” No, there is no night in that country there. “Oh, I know, it’s because thieves might go there, they are guarding the place.” No, there are not even children who imitate thieves there. Then why are they standing there?
Revelation chapter 21:24-26, [And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.]
What does this mean? Jesus told to us long ago, “There are many children who did not leave God in heaven. I came to this earth, which is that one lost lamb that lost its way, to seek you and find you. That is why I was sent to this earth. There are so many of God’s sons, our elder brothers, throughout the countless numbers of stars in the universe.
That’s why there are American astronomers that have said throughout the numerous stars in this universe, they have proof that people like us exist there. That is a fact. Jesus said that there are many children in this universe that did not fall. This earth was the youngest to be born in the universe, and it’s written that when we were born, God’s sons sang with joy, rejoicing in the birth of their youngest brethren.
However, all those numerous universal beings do not live with God our Father in the same house. Only we will live with our Father. We are the only ones who will live with the Grand King of the universe. You are the only ones. Why is that? All the children throughout the universe never fell, so they don’t know what suffering is, what death or pain or tears are, they have lived never experiencing such things. Only these youngest children fell, and that’s why we have wept, suffered, tasted the grave and death, and suffered with illness; because we are so pitiful, He will live only with us.
Is God love? Yes. He forgets how much pain we caused Him and only feels sorry for us for all our sufferings, and that’s why He will live with only us. Truly our Father is love. And since the Grand King of the universe lives in this heavenly mansion, all of God’s sons and daughters throughout the countless stars will come here every day. Then, even if one person comes from one star, that would be millions and billions, a countless number of people coming to visit. It says, “They will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. Those precious children of the universe, kings of the earth, all the nations will come into the midst of that light. It means the entire universe will come through those pearly gates. At that time, these angels will welcome them and send them off, and that’s why he is standing there. And the angels are anxiously awaiting their turn, thinking, “I wonder when it will be my time?” They are all anxious to quickly have their turn.
Very soon now, in only a few days, you will enter this heavenly mansion. And when you come out to welcome the visitors, they will say, “Oh, hello, your royal imperial prince! Oh hello, princess!” And they will make way for you. The universal beings will be so happy to see you and say, “Please come to our star this time. Please come to visit us.” Then you’ll say, “Sure, why not?” And since you have become Gods, you will fly faster than the speed of light with the raiment of light given by our Father. And do you know what you will do when you go flying? You will teach of our Real Father’s love. You will teach them how our Father loved us like this, and then they’ll say, “Amen, amen.” And with all precious things they will repay the speaker who gave them such a precious message. I hope that you will be treated like that with the highest respect and honor. Do not be blinded by that worthless piece of paper, but may you receive the gifts that never disappear for eternity. And so, that is why the angels are standing in front of each pearly gate.
If you only make it to this heavenly mansion without getting into a fatal accident on the way, then without a doubt you will be the very ones that all the universal beings are envious of. No one but us, we will be the only people to live in this heavenly palace together with the Jehovah of Hosts, the God of heaven. May you surely enter into this house and enjoy eating at the silver table of joy together with God face to face, with our Real Daddy for eternity.
