Wheat and Tares

The intent of this document is to explain the viewpoint of the wheat and the tares of Shincheonji, and also analyze and address the claims of how the “truth” fell away shortly after the ascension of Jesus, and the death of the Apostles, likened to the “sun” giving off its light, and when Jesus ascended to the Father, the light became dawn, and when the disciples passed away and the book of Revelation was given to the Apostle John, the light was overcome by darkness.

This document will mostly focus on the wheat and the tares, and Shincheonji’s interpretation of the passage.
