신천지에 대처하는 그리스도 중심의 천년왕국 이해(계 20:1-6) = Understanding the Christ-Centered Millennial Kingdom against Shincheonji(Revelation 20:1-6)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The anti-social life of Shincheonji is because they have been brainwashed into the doctrine of ‘physical immortality’ based on an extreme dualistic worldview. This is based on Shincheonji’s way of understanding of the Millennial Kingdom in Revelation 20, which is the doctrine that the spirits of the 144,000 martyrs and the bodies of the 144,000 Shincheonjian become one (the union of spirit and body) and live eternally in the flesh. It can be said that the reason why many believers have been deceived by the distorted claims of Shincheonji is that the church has not provided sufficient opportunities to study the Book of Revelation. Even among those theologians and pastors who are in the same denomination and claim the same theological perspectives, there are various hermeneutic issues in the book of Revelation. However, the criterion for judgment that does not define each other as heretical is because it recognizes theological diversity within the Christian faith centered on Jesus Christ. The understanding of the Millennial Kingdom is still a subject of debate within the orthodox church. Nevertheless, the Korean church needs to establish a Christ-centered understanding of the Millennial Kingdom that can clearly pastorally cope with Shincheonji’s distorted interpretation of the Bible. Therefore, this study presents the core contents and messages for understanding the Christ-Centered Millennial Kingdom to cope with Shincheonji based on the comparative analysis of Premillennial and Amillennial interpretations, which are the representative views on Revelation 20:1-6.
