Sin and Clothing
Countless people have come and gone from this world over the past 6,000 years
of biblical history, and all of them have performed innumerable acts.
Where have all their acts been recorded?
Did God record every single move these countless people made
while they were alive?
With the record, it will be possible for God to judge their acts
as right or wrong on Doomsday.
The books where all these acts are recorded are people’s hearts.
The book of each and every person’s heart records all the information about
that person—their parents, when (i.e. year, month, day, hour, and even second)
and where they were born and died, as well as all their acts.
In God’s kingdom, everyone’s acts are disclosed at the sea of glass.
People can neither hide nor deny their own acts.
Each person will be judged by what is recorded in his or her mind and heart.
This judgment will lead them to either heaven or hell.
Satan has been with sinners in the sinful world for the past 6,000 years.
In the age to come, however, God will be with the righteous (Mt 25; Heb 9:28).
The kingdom where God dwells with the righteous is heaven —
the kingdom of righteousness.
Since everyone has sinned, how can God be with those who have sinned?
God, who left sinners, was able to unite with Jesus because he has no sin.
God sacrificed his one and only Son for sinners.
Jesus, his Son, bore the cross and shed his blood for the sins of the world
(Jn 1:29; Jn 3:16).
Why did God allow this to happen?
God used Jesus’ blood to wash away people’s sins
so that God could finally unite with his people.
The people whose sins have been atoned by Jesus' blood are the people
who believe and obey Jesus’ promises (Jn 14:23; Heb 9:22; Rev 1:5-6).
Jesus promised in Mt 26:27-29 that his blood will be given to his people
in his Father’s kingdom.
This kingdom of God the Father will appear at the time of Revelation’s
fulfillment.
It is created according to Rev 12, Rev 7, and Rev 14.
This kingdom is the same as the kingdom that is purchased by Jesus’ blood
in Rev 5.
When this happens, those purchased by Jesus’ blood become God’s kingdom
and priests (Rev 5:9-10).
Those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of Jesus
become the people of God’s kingdom (Rev 7:13-14).
In Rev 6—at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment—
God gives the souls of the martyrs white robes.
God explains in Rev 19 that fine and clean linen stands for the righteous acts.
Revelation 22:14 says that people must wash their robes to have access
to the tree of life by entering the Holy City.
Which of our robes (i.e. acts) must we cleanse?
According to Rev 3, there are a few people who have not soiled their clothes;
they are dressed in white.
It also says that the one who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white.
Revelation 2 mentions spiritual clothes (i.e. people’s hearts and actions)
that have been stained by the teachings of idols (Satan),
and by food (i.e. doctrines) sacrificed to idols.
These spiritual clothes are also stained by the sexual immorality
that people have committed with Satan’s pastors.
In other words, Satan’s pastors, whose clothes are black, stain the white clothes of others with their dirty, black water (their lies).
By doing so, Satan’s pastors have changed people wearing white clothes
into people wearing black clothes like themselves.
If a person wearing white (i.e. a savior figure) uses the water of God’s teachings,
which are as clear as crystal, to help one of these people wash
their soiled clothes, they can again be a part of the group of people
wearing white.
It is by washing our spiritual clothes that we can put on
the fine, clean linen wedding clothes (Mt 22:11-14; Rev 19:8).
Jesus’ blood (Jn 6:53-58) represents Jesus’ words (1Jn 1:1; Jn 1:1; Rev 19:13).
It is only through righteous blood that people’s sins can be cleansed.
Because Jesus was a righteous person who shed his blood for us,
those whose sins have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus
(i.e. the revealed word), will no longer have to account for any sins
in the time of judgment at the sea of glass.
They will be counted among the righteous who are saved by Jesus’ blood.
It is only these righteous people who can unite as one with God.
These are the only people who can call themselves a part of God’s family
and live with God in heaven for eternity.
When believers should be thankful for the secrets of the kingdom of heaven
that are being made clear to them and should believe it,
they can attain salvation.
