2. HISTORY OF THE FIRST OLIVE TREE
The first olive tree, elder Park, Tae-Sun, was born in 1917. In Gaechun Church in Pyoungbook, Korea; he saw pastor Hwang, Goo-Hak's death, who prophesied exact date and time of his death. This event inspired him to believe in Christianity. When he was 14 years old, he went to Japan and studied technical school at evening, and learned turnery technology. After the graduation, he worked in a defense industrial company in Tokyo, Japan. In 1944, when the war worsened, he returned to Korea.
After the liberation of Korea from Japan, he served in South Gate Church in Seoul, Korea as a guidance deacon and engaged in Christian mission work in road side. In 1948, as he was guiding in revival service, he heard from the pastor Lee, Sung-Bong that even one is enthusiastic for Christianity, but without receiving holy Spirit, then one's work comes to nothing. He was extremely shocked and started to pray for tree days and nights, and finally received fiery Holy Spirit. In 1950, 6?25 Korean War broke out, and he could not evacuate from Seoul. As he prayed under Korean hot-floor in Soo-Saek, Seoul, he received grace of life water, which felt sweet in his neck and cool inside the belly. This is the historic event in Christian religion because Jesus promised that he will give life-giving water to believers and this happened very first time in 2000 years after the crucifixion of Christ.
He continued to live in Seoul after recovery of Seoul in September 28. In January 4, 1951, as North Korean army enforced by Chinese army occupied Seoul again, he escaped deep in a mountain near Pyoungtaek, and he received teachings on missions to be done from Jesus as he prayed. After that, many pastors received grace through deacon Park, but there were sayings that a deacon imposing hands on pastors was not adequate, so in 1954, deacon Park received elder duty from Changdong Church(pastor Kim, Chi-S대n held office at that time).
Since the beginning of 1955, elder Park guided revival service and lots of believers greatly experienced heavenly graces. Even those who drank alcohols and stopped by as they were passing, also received heavenly grace. As the meeting continued for three or four days, some of them held their spot and did not even go to the restroom. Many of them saw and received the grace of fiery holy spirit, life-giving water, and dewy holy spirits, and innumerable people cured their illnesses. Religious association stopped to support revival service because he criticised filthy pastors in the meeting. On June 1955, when he decided to withdraw from Korean Presbyterian Association, NCC regarded him as a heretic.
After his followers who received grace through elder Park gathered around him as they were not satisfied with their previous church. They made altar next to the building of elder Park's iron foundry located in Wonhyoro in Seoul. In December 25, 1955, history of "Jundokwan"(Korean Christian Missionary Revival Association) started.
People received grace of living water and dew-like holy spirits, but did not realize what they were. In August 1956, elder Park made a testimony from book of the Revelation and Hosea that the person who gives living water and dew-like holy spirit is the olive tree.
However, followers knew that olive trees were arranged by two individuals, so people were curious who the second olive tree was. At the end of 1956, number of people grew insisting that they were the second olive tree. To control this problem, elder Park came out with "favorable condition and unfavorable condition." He insisted that when God's work would be in unfavorable condition, it would be necessary for the second olive tree to come out, but in a favorable condition, then one olive tree could accomplish God's work. At the beginning of 1957, he proclaimed that he beat spiritual Goliath, and became spiritual David, so the favorable condition was achieved.
Therefore, as different from the book of Revelation, there would not be two olive trees, but it could be done by himself. He resulted to deviate God's words.

In 1957, elder Park established "Shinangchon"(village of faith) in Sosa, Kyunggi province, but there was no communication with God, so elder park, he newly established second Shinangchon in Duckso, Kyunggi province. In 1970, he also constructed third Shinangchon in Gijang, Kyungnam province.
In 1973, when the work of second olive tree started, he instigated forces to interrupt and continuously slandered. In 1979, he plotted to entrap the second olive tree. However, when the second olive tree escaped from deadly traps, elder Park found that his intention failed. In 1980, he proclaimed himself that he was the god of ground and changed the title from "Jundokwan" (Missionary Place) to "Chunbukyo"(Church of Heavenly Father). After that, he spoke ill of God and Jesus. For many years, he suffered from various diseases, and in February 7, 1990, after 40 years of being anointed as the olive tree, he passed away.
