[Shincheonji Elementary Seminar Lesson 4 Review] The Figurative Seed, Field, Tree, and Bird

August 31, 2025

Discovering the Secrets of Heaven in the Parables


Today, I watched the official Shincheonji YouTube message titled “The Secret of Heaven, Parables and Their True Meaning.” This time, the focus was on the parable of the seed, the field, and the harvest. Honestly, it was eye-opening.


Why Jesus Spoke in Parables


In Matthew 13, Jesus explains that the secrets of heaven were hidden in parables. He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them” 

Hearing this reminded me that God doesn’t reveal His truth randomly—He gives it through the promised one He appoints in each era. Without revelation, these secrets remain hidden.


The Field: Our Hearts and the World


The field is a powerful metaphor. In Luke 8:15, a good field is a heart that receives the word and produces fruit with perseverance. Paul also said, “You are God’s field” (1 Corinthians 3:9). And in Matthew 13:38, the field is described as the world.

But here’s the shocking part: Jesus sowed good seed, yet the enemy sowed weeds among them. At harvest time, their true identity is revealed. It made me ask myself—what kind of seed is growing in me?


Two Seeds, Two Outcomes


Jesus said the good seed represents the children of heaven, while the weeds are the children of the evil one (Matthew 13:38–39). One leads to eternal life, the other to judgment.

In Revelation 14, this reality becomes clear: those born of God’s seed are gathered into the heavenly barn, while those born of lies are left behind and destroyed. The message is simple yet urgent—the seed we receive decides our future.


Want to Know More?


This video didn’t stop at the seed and the field. It went on to explain the tree and the birds, showing even deeper layers of meaning in the parables. But instead of spoiling it here, I encourage you to watch the full message on the official Shincheonji YouTube channel. I promise—it’s worth your time.


A Special Announcement


And here’s something exciting: on September 6th, 2 PM (KST), Chairman Lee Man-hee will deliver a Shincheonji seminar on “The Reality of the Fulfillment of Revelation.” If you’ve been curious about how Revelation is being fulfilled today, this is a must-watch.

[Shincheonji Graduation Ceremony] Graduates who have found the direction and purpose of life with less anxiety and emptiness due to Bible study.

 Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Recently, one of the corrected relatives has been hospitalized after a major accident. Don't give up on life history, and it seems that life is something that healthy people don't know what will happen later on. I think a person's values are shaped by his or her attitude toward death. I think this is especially true when I hear about the accidents and wealth of healthy people around me. Most people choose to play and eat today even if they die tomorrow because there is only one life anyway, and death is inevitable. Even in the 15th chapter of the classic, the Apostle Paul also said that if the Bible's promise is not fulfilled, none of the people are more pitiful than us, and it is better to eat and play. (1 Cor 15:19, 32) Then, what about the view of life of believers who learned the Bible? This year, the Zion Mission Center surveyed about 1,000 of the graduates who took the Bible for six months and participated in the 116th graduation c...

[Special Lecture on the Revelation of the World Invitation of Shincheonji church] As many as 521 world religious leaders will gather at the factual evidence debate.

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. On October 30, about 500 free religious leaders from 61 countries gathered in our country to discuss the actual evidence. What is it that religious leaders of different denominations and sects, not their own scriptures, have come together for the Book of Revelation? The purpose of this meeting is to reduce conflict and promote dialogue among different religions, sects, and denominations. But why is it the Book of Revelation? The reason is that by learning and discussing the meaning and reality of the Revelation, the core of the Christian Bible, we can confirm how God's will is done to the global community and ultimately find the answer to peace by expanding the understanding between religions. That is why the number of religious leaders attending gradually increased as the program progressed, and on October 30th, it became a large-scale event attended by as many as 521 people. When I watched this program, I saw someone dressed as a monk or someone we...

[Shincheonji's Peter tribes] The church will discover the talents of teenagers? The 2nd Peter Heavenly Culture Academy ended successfully!

Hello, I'm greenteawannabe. Do you remember the fact that the Peter Heavenly Culture Academy was held last July? On the 24th, the 2nd Heavenly Culture Academy was successfully completed. I spent time playing games and playing entertainment during my school vacation, but what time did the students participate in this Heavenly Culture Academy spend during that time? If I were to say this Heavenly Culture Academy in one sentence, it can be said that it is a time to discover one's own possibilities. The second phase of the Heavenly Culture Academy consisted of 9 classes for children and 22 classes for students, and about 400 students had a satisfactory month. I thought that it was a great merit that I could learn coding in my adolescence, which I could learn only when I was a college student. I'm looking forward to what various and rich programs Peter Heavenly Culture Academy will prepare for the third term of next year, which has given teenagers a varie...

The Figurative Treasure and the Rich — Understanding the True Wealth of the Word

Many readers encounter the Bible’s language of “treasure,” “gold,” and “riches” and wonder what these words truly signify. Are these passages referring to physical wealth, or is there a deeper message beneath the surface? Lesson 9: The Figurative Treasure and the Rich explores these questions with clarity, showing how biblical treasure symbolizes something far more precious than material possessions. Through a gentle and thoughtful approach, the seminar explains that spiritual treasure represents the unchanging Word of God—something valued not for its physical worth but for the life and truth it carries. The seminar begins with the fundamental distinction between physical treasure and spiritual treasure. While gold and jewels are rare and precious, Scripture often uses them as metaphors for truth. Verses such as Proverbs 25:11–12 and Psalms 12:6, describing God’s words as silver refined seven times, present a compelling picture: true spiritual wealth lies in the Word itself. Even p...
