- Matthew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he hand and bought that field.
- 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 Listen I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed– in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
In today’s main Scripture, Matthew 13:44, it says that you have to value and perceive as important the treasure hidden in the field; only then will you sell all your possessions and buy that field. In this way, when trying to obtain something, depending on how much you deem it to be important and valuable like the treasure hidden in the field, it will determine whether or not you will do what you need to do in order to earn it. If you take it as something ordinary, you can take action only in an ordinary way. If you take it as something lowly, you will treat it in a lowly manner and thus fail to gain it. If you take it as something valuable, you will treat it valuably and gain it.
The Holy Son said, “Those who do not know how important and valuable the Rapture is, cannot rapture.” As for those who don’t know how important and valuable the Rapture is, even though they can easily rapture as long as they take action, they fail to rapture since they don’t take action because they don’t know.
A person who doesn’t know how precious and expensive a treasure is won’t buy it saying that it’s expensive, even if they are asked to buy it for just 1/200th of the original price.
It’s because they don’t know. Knowing is a fortune. Even if expensive and valuable clothes or items are sold at a giveaway price, if you don’t know how valuable that is, you will just browse with your eyes, even if you have money, and not buy. People fail to live [well] because they don’t know, and even if they know, they fail to live [well] if they don’t take action.
Do you know how valuable the Rapture is? Let’s say that you possess the entire earthly world. Even if you give all of that and only have your bare body left, it’s tens of trillions of times better to trade everything for ‘the Rapture’!!! Even if you possessed the entire earthly world, you could only use it momentarily. And even when you used it, you would not even be able to use one out of hundreds of trillions. Just because a billionaire has a huge fortune, it doesn’t mean that they can eat 100 times a day. Billionaires, too, eat three times a day, just like other people. It’s just that they eat a little more luxuriously. Even if you have wealth and glory, you can use only a little bit of them. Therefore, even if you have to sacrifice and pay with all of the things that you will use for a short while and end, you must rapture.
When you rapture, your spirit goes to Heaven. In Heaven, that is hundreds of trillions of times better than the earthly world, you will live not for a while, but ‘for eternity.’ That place is an ideal world of true joy and true love where suicides, suffering, pain, diseases, and problems do not exist. It’s not a world of matter of the body that ages and disappears when the time passes. You will live as spiritual entities that neither age nor become ill; the beings that human beings cannot even imagine on earth. “The body will rapture,” these are words of ignorant people. In 1 Corinthians 15:51, it says, ‘We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.’ This does not mean ‘The body will be changed in a flash and go up to Heaven.’ It rather means ‘The spirit will be changed in a flash through the body.’
Religious people who don’t know ‘the Rapture’ say that the body will rapture into the air. Those who teach that the body will rapture cannot achieve ‘the Rapture of the spirit.’ That is like teaching that apples are produced from pine trees. No matter how much you fertilize a pine tree and take care of it with devotion, would apples be produced from the pine tree? Even if it’s a young boy, if he fertilizes an apple tree seedling and says, “If you grow this tree, it will bear apples,” then those words are right. So you should believe his words.
It’s not that the body raptures into the air and goes to Heaven. It is the spirit that raptures and goes to Heaven. It’s ‘the Rapture of the spirit.’ More clearly put, the body listens to the Word of the Rapture on earth and takes action; thus, through your body, you transform your spirit into a bride; only ‘the spirits’ that have absolutely become the Holy Son’s brides rapture. Only ‘the spirits’ that have been perfected 100% into brides through the deeds of their bodies rapture and go to Heaven.
You need to know about ‘the Rapture’ and take action. Then you will rapture. Also, you need to know how valuable and important ‘the Rapture’ is. Then you will work hard and diligently take action, so you will be able to rapture. For this reason, [I ] educated you sufficiently about what the Rapture is and [I ] also taught you about the value of the Rapture, about how important and valuable it is. So I urge all of you: know that ‘the Rapture’ is the treasure hidden in the field and obtain it in a way like selling all your possessions and buying that field. May you certainly rapture by taking action according to the Word with all your heart, will, and time. It is ‘the spirit’ that raptures and goes to Heaven. But because they said that ‘the body’ would rapture and go to Heaven, it was hard to believe, it made people doubt God, and it became empty words of delusion. Rapturing in spirit is not a delusion. It is normal. It is reality. Therefore, both God and the Holy Son Lord say, “Believe!”
You need to know how valuable prayer is. Then you will pray. If you don’t pray, Satan immediately snatches you away. But still, your body is unaware of that. You will realize [the situation] only when your spirit arrives at the world of death, only when you go to Hell. You need to know how valuable the Word is. Then you will listen to the Word valuably. When you don’t know how valuable the Word is, you listen to it halfheartedly. Then because you are not solid, you will topple. Also, since you cannot discern between what is right and what is wrong you will end up tilting toward death.
The key of today’s message is this: “One who does not know how important and valuable the Rapture is cannot rapture! If you want to know properly that the Rapture is important and valuable, you need to learn the Word about the Rapture, which is the best of the Words of this time period!”
