[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.

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.

Cheongju Word Seminar: Over 700 Pastors Gather to Learn the Truth of Revelation

On November 11, the “Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation and Prophecy: Shincheonji Word Seminar” was held at Shincheonji Cheongju Church in Chungbuk, South Korea, creating a significant impact. Over 700 pastors from established denominations attended the event, seeking deeper understanding of the Bible, particularly Revelation.  Why Are Established Denomination Pastors Attending? Pastors who attended the seminar shared unanimous praise for the teachings. One pastor, Mr. Kim, remarked, “The teachings here are unlike anything I’ve ever encountered in my denomination. It made me reflect on my shortcomings as a pastor and realize the need to relearn the Word.” This sentiment highlights how Shincheonji’s teachings provide not just satisfaction but also profound spiritual resonance. Their systematic approach to the Bible offers a comprehensive understanding of not only Revelation but also the entirety of Scripture, giving attendees a perspective they could not find elsewhere.

[Shincheonji Elementary Seminar Lesson 3 Review] Why Are the Secrets of Heaven Hidden in Parables?

Following the previous session, today I’m reviewing Lesson 3 of the Shincheonji Elementary Seminar, titled “The True Meaning of the Parables of the Secrets of Heaven.” Through this lecture, I gained deep insight into why the Bible is difficult to understand, and why Jesus chose to speak in parables. In Mark chapter 4, Jesus said, “The secret of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is said in parables.” The Word is clear, but its meaning is hidden in figurative language, making it inaccessible to just anyone. What left the biggest impression on me was the fact that only when prophecy is fulfilled can the reality of the parable appear. As Jesus promised, at the time of His second coming, He would no longer speak in parables but explain plainly—and realizing that this time is now truly stirred my heart. The instructor explained how various parables in the Bible were actually fulfilled. For example, a stone symbolizes Jesus and the two wives r...

[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...
