I Am Okhwang-Sangje *DOJEON 2:10

10 Sangjenim then said to Geum-gok, “Bring Me a bowl of rice gruel.” After finishing the gruel, Sangjenim asked,

11 “Geum-gok, to whom do heaven and earth belong?”

Geum-gok hesitated, uncertain how to answer.

12 Sangjenim proclaimed in a voice thunderous, “Heaven and earth belong to Me! I am Okhwang-Sangje!” and He roared with laughter. 13 At that moment, Geum-gok beheld that the entire room was shining as brightly as at midday and Sangjenim’s countenance was blazing as radiantly as the sun. Geum-gok unconsciously pressed his hands together in prayer and prostrated himself before Sangjenim.

Often translated as “Jade Emperor of Heaven.” A formal title for God the Ruler, who governs heaven, earth, humanity, and spirits. The Korean people have traditionally known the God presiding in heaven as Je, Sangje, Triune-Spirit Sangje, Triune-Spirit God, or Okhwang-Sangje. “Sangjenim,” which combines Sangje with an honorific suffix nim, is a shortened version of the title Okhwang-Sangje; “Jeung-san Sangjenim” is the title of God, who incarnated into this world as Gahng Jeung-san.
