Sangjenim Sent Confucius, Shakyamuni, and Jesus to the World

Sangjenim Sent Confucius, Shakyamuni, and Jesus to the World *Dojeon 2:43

1 Sangjenim one day said to the disciples, “Those who believe in Jesus await the second coming of Jesus,

2 those who believe in Buddha await the coming of Maitreya Buddha,

3 and those who believe in Eastern Learning await the rebirth of Choe Su-un.

4 But whoever this person proves to be, when that one person comes, all will proclaim him their master and follow him.”
6 Sangjenim then revealed, “It is I who sent Confucius, Shakyamuni, and Jesus to the world, to serve in My work.”

 

Shakyamuni Buddha said, ‘Three thousand years later, Maitreya Buddha will come.’ In the West, Jesus proclaimed word of God the Father. Jesus said, “I am from Him, and He sent Me.” Jesus also proclaimed the coming of God the Father. It would not be himself but God the Father who would come to the world. John the Apostle proclaimed the coming of God on the great white throne. In the East, Confucianism and Daoism worshipped Okhwang-Sangje (“Jade Emperor of Heaven”), or Sangje. Expressions varied with religious cultures, but they all spoke of the True God. Heaven and earth are the one and only. Likewise, God the Ruler―the Supreme Governor―is the one and only.

 

Sangjenim (“Emperor Above” or “Supreme God”) is God the Ruler of the Universe. As the Supreme Governor of the Universe, Sangjenim rules over everything with His commands. Without Sangjenim’s advent into the world at the approach of cosmic autumn, none of the spirits of people who had lived throughout history could be controlled. In other words, only the True God could rule over all the spirits of those who had once lived as humans. Sangjenim―God the Ruler―incarnated into this world and gathered the essence of all the cultures of the Early Heaven and opened the path to a new world.
