She was the only one to state that the mysteries of the kingdom of God can only be revealed by interpreting the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation as one whole. She has been revealing the Truth, which had been hidden from before time began, from the year 2008. Reverend Esther has been shedding light on the lies that differ from the Bible, which have been rampant even 2000 years after Jesus Christ died on the cross, resurrected and ascended to heaven. She is the one who has taken action to carry out the perfect biblical reformation (Hebrews 9:10). Reverend Esther Shin has clearly revealed the will of God that the 21st century is the Universal Seventh Day, the Day of the Son of Man and the Day of Judgment recorded in the Bible; therefore, all believers in the present generation must purify their souls, prepare the way for Jesus Christ’s Second Coming and prepare for the coming great famine. Members of Grace Road Church have come to realise God's will through Reverend Esther Shin; they have volunteered to migrate to the beautiful land of Fiji and they have been preparing for the coming great famine. Unlike the babblers who merely say that they believe in God and in Jesus Christ, all of the Grace Road Church members are resolved to live as true Christians who see, hear, believe and truly act in accordance with the Bible. 4 This book is dedicated to Reverend Esther Shin and to the members of Grace Road Church who have been slandered and accused of heresy by those who turn a blind eye to the Truth and who pull strings to falsely condemn innocent churches of heresy. Apostle Paul had plainly testifi ed to the Truth by explaining that Jesus was the Christ. However, he was charged as a ringleader of the Nazarene Sect by the Jews, the scribes and the Pharisees at that time (who are the Christians of today), and was killed by them in the end. Likewise, the prophets in the Old Testament and the apostles in the New Testament had all been persecuted for defending the Truth. However, the Christians of today say that they believe in Jesus Christ by mouth, yet one cannot fi nd the type of suff ering that Jesus went through back then, in which he was being persecuted by the Jews to the point of death on the cross. All they wish for is to be blessed, to be successful, and to attain physical happiness in Jesus' name. A true Christian must endure hardships that come with following the Truth. Reverend Esther Shin and a few of the members of Grace Road Church were detained on 24 July 2018 for truly believing and acting in accordance with only the words written in the Bible. This book is thus armed with the word of God to defend and plead the innocence of Reverend Esther Shin, who is the true servant of God, and the members of Grace Road Church. 5 We urge all true Christians who read these words to call for the acquittal of Reverend Esther, the true servant of the Lord and the defender of the Truth, and for active participation and support, so that the eternal gospel proclaimed through Reverend Esther Shin can resound throughout the whole world. 14 April 2019 All Members of Grace Road Church 6 I Defend the Case of the Widow Indeed I. Defend the Case of the Widow Indeed e, the members of Grace Road Church, would like to Wsolemnly share the truth before God and men about Reverend Esther, the true servant of the Lord, who has been proclaiming the voice of the Spirit of Truth since May 2008. Reverend Esther, who was arrested without warrant on 24 July 2018 in Incheon International Airport, and we at Grace Road Church have seen, heard, believed and acted according to the Bible. We have only carried out the word of God without sinning, yet the world’s court is trying to charge her with the following: Breach of Laws on Punishment of Violent Acts (Group Injury), Special Violence, Violence, Aggravated Confinement, Fraud, Commercial Violation, Child Welfare Law Violation (Child Abandonment, Neglect) Solicitation, Child Welfare Law (Child Abuse) All of us at Grace Road Church could not hold back our astonishment with the prosecution’s charges. We were left speechless by the fact that these people—who at one point we thought were family and ate at the same table, who laughed with us, who said for us to accomplish the word of God through 8 our sweat, who said that we can now live without sinning while living as a family—secretively left the church and are now reviling and accusing Reverend Esther with complete lies, even as far as suing her and putting her in prison. What is more astonishing is that all of these events were the fulfi llment of what God has written in the Bible. First, we would like to explain who Reverend Esther of Grace Road Church is and how she has been carrying out the ministry by proving from the word of God that though the plaintiff, the police, and the prosecutor's statements may seem right, they are actually completely wrong. Reverend Esther of Grace Road Church, who had been the wife of one man and is less than sixty years old, is thereby even physically in line with the words of 1 Timothy 5:3~5, 9~10 and 16. She is truly the older woman and the widow indeed written of in the Bible from before time began. 3 Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. 5 Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day. 1 Timothy 5:3~5 9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, 10 and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, I. Defend the Case of the Widow Indeed 9 washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds. 1 Timothy 5:9~10 16 If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed. 1 Timothy 5:16 Furthermore, she is the true servant of the Lord who spiritually eats and also feeds others the spiritual food at the proper time. 45 “Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? Matthew 24:45 42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time? Luke 12:42 In accordance with the Scripture, “You will know them by their fruits,” the fruits of Reverend Esther’s eleven years of ministry at Grace Road Church are the 600 church members (400 in Fiji and 200 in Korea). 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits. Matthew 7:20 1 So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father’s household heard of it, they went down there to him. 1 Samuel 22:1 9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those left behind remained. 10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor remained behind. 1 Samuel 30:9~10 We, the 400 members who have been allured by the word of 10 God, have left behind our former portion of life and voluntarily immigrated to Fiji in order to not sin and fulfi ll the word of God on earth in accordance to the written word of God.
