K-culture 13 : Traditional Palace Gyungbokgung

It was in 1395, three years after the Joseon Dynasty was founded by King Taejo (Yi Seong-gye), when the construction of the main royal Palace was completed after the capital of the newly founded dynasty moved from Gaeseong to Seoul (then known as Hanyang).

The Palace was named Gyeongbokgung Palace, the "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven." With Mount Bugaksan to its rear and Mount Namsan in the foreground, the site of Gyeongbokgung Palace was at the heart of Seoul and, indeed, deemed auspicious according to the traditional practice of geomancy.

In front of Gwanghwamun Gate, the main entrance to the Palace, ran Yukjo-geori (Street of Six Ministries, today's Sejongno), home to major government offices.

Along the central axis upon which Gwanghwamun Gate stood was the nucleus of the Palace, including the throne hall, council hall and king's residence.

The government ministry district and main buildings of Gyeongbokgung Palace formed the heart of the capital city of Seoul and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty.

After all the Palaces in the capital were razed by the Japanese during the Hideyoshi invasions of 1592-'98, Changdeokgung Palace, a secondary Palace, was rebuilt and served as the main Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace was left derelict for the next 273 years.

It was finally reconstructed in 1867 by the order of the Prince Regent. Some 500 buildings were built on a site of over 40 hectares and constituted a small city.

The architectural principles of ancient China were harmoniously incorporated into both the tradition and the appearance of the Joseon royal court. Gyeongbokgung Palace was largely torn down during the Japanese occupation.

Ninety three percent of the restored buildings were dismantled, Gwanghwamun Gate was dismantled and relocated to the east, and an enormous building housing the Japanese Government-General was constructed in front of the main sector of the Palace.

An effort to fully restore Gyeongbokgung Palace to its former glory has been ongoing since 1990.

The Japanese Government-General building was finally removed, and Heungnyemun Gate was restored to its original state. The royal living quarters and the East Palace for the crown prince were also restored to their original state.

The Prophecies in Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of the Book of Revelation and Their Actual Entities

“Everyone, do you know the prophecies of the book of Revelation and their actual entities?” It says in Rv 22:18-19 that one cannot enter the kingdom of heaven but will receive curses (plagues) if he adds to or subtracts from Revelation. God wrote this book, sealed it with seven seals, and was holding it. Hence, until now, there had been no one in heaven or on earth who knew this book’s meaning. 📚 Today, however, Jesus took this book (Revelation) that was sealed with seven seals and in God’s hand, and in Rv 6 and 8 he removed all of its seals, opened it, and fulfilled it.

This man is the promised pastor at the time of th

The Content of the Book of Revelation, Which Had Been Hidden for Approximately 2,000 Years

God wrote the book of Revelation Himself and was holding it after sealing it with seven seals. Hence, there had been no one in heaven or on earth who knew the meaning of this book. Yet, it says that if one adds to or subtracts from this book, then he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, but will receive curses (plagues) (Rv 22:18-19). 🌏 Today, the prophecies of the book of Revelation, which had been hidden for approximately 2,000 years, have been fulfilled, and when Jesus fulfilled Revelation, the promised pastor of Shincheonji saw and heard at [Jesus’] side. Thus, Shincheonji masters the meanings of the prophecies of the entire book and even their fulfillment. Currently, however, the Protestant Church and the Catholic Church have completely added to and subtracted from all of this Revelation. Then, who is really the cul
