700 Pastors Attend Shincheonji Bible Seminar at Cheongju Church

Approximately 700 pastors attended the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation,' an event that attracted significant attention when held in Cheongju, Chungbuk.

Shincheonji Church held a Bible seminar at Cheongju Church on the 11th. The church stated that the large attendance was largely due to positive feedback from pastors who had attended previous events.

In fact, pastors who attended last year's Bible seminar across the country shared their impressions, saying, 'The revealed word we heard here was something we couldn’t hear in traditional denominations,' and 'I would recommend my fellow pastors to listen to this as well.'

This has led to the perception in the Christian community that, 'No matter what anyone says, if you want to understand Revelation, you should learn it from Shincheonji.'

Chairman Lee Man-hee has emphasized the importance of 'biblical faith and proper testimony of Revelation' and has continuously urged pastors. On this day, he also appealed multiple times for pastors to lead their congregations to the truth, along with giving a lecture that covered the entire book of Revelation.

Chairman Lee stated, 'I have studied Revelation more than any other Bible verse. And I have seen the physical fulfillment of those prophecies,' and added, 'You should not hastily make conclusions about something you don’t understand. What matters is not your position or experience, but whether you are within God and the Bible.'

He continued, urging pastors, 'Today is the time when prophecies are being fulfilled. That is, the realities are appearing, and the Bible tells us to believe after seeing the physical fulfillment. Jesus said, ‘Teach while you practice.’ Let us not hastily condemn but properly check the Bible and understand it. Let us reflect on ourselves before Revelation, to ensure we don’t deliver the word wrongly.'

'The truth of the Bible cannot be bought with authority or money. If you add to or subtract from it, you cannot go to heaven. If you don’t know, you must seek knowledge, and if something is wrong, you must question it,' he continued. 'Now, the era of the fulfillment of Revelation has come, so let’s meet frequently, understand the physical fulfillment, believe, and go to heaven together.' Chairman Lee’s words were met with applause from the entire audience.

Pastor Kim, who attended the previous Bible seminar, shared, 'Whenever I come here, I always learn so much and feel ashamed as a pastor. Listening to the word spiritually moves me, and I am grateful. As I listen, I realize that all pastors need to relearn and renew themselves.'

Pastor Lim also commented, 'Despite being over ninety years old, I was impressed by how energetically Chairman Lee spoke with the passion of a youth, and it made me reflect on myself. Now that I know the truth, I want to share and let all believers hear and understand this word.'

Shincheonji Church of Jesus stated, 'Last year, due to overwhelming requests from pastors, we held another Bible seminar and have felt the growing fervor for the revealed word in the Christian community. This year, we will continue to create a platform for unity through ongoing word exchanges with local and international pastors.

Shincheonji's Miracle: Signing MOU with Overseas Churches After 40 Years, Reaching 1.1 Million People

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, has attracted attention from both Korean and international religious communities by achieving 1.1 million members and signing MOUs (Memorandums of Understanding) with churches worldwide after 40 years since its founding.

Shincheonji announced on the 13th that they had signed MOUs with a total of 13,448 churches across 88 countries, both domestically and internationally.

By changing the church name from established Christian churches to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the number of overseas churches alone has reached 1,535 in 44 countries.

On the 11th, in Cheongju, Chungbuk, 700 pastors attended the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar, Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation' for Christian ministers, which has caused a significant impact within the Christian community.

Some pastors have expressed astonishment, wondering why not only ordinary people but also Christian pastors are joining Shincheonji.

In fact, pastors who attended the Bible seminar held nationwide last year expressed that, "The revealed word that we heard here was what we couldn't hear in existing denominations, and I will recommend my fellow pastors to attend as well."

Chairman Lee Man-hee said, "I have studied the Book of Revelation more earnestly than any other scripture. And I have seen the physical fulfillment of those prophecies. One should not hastily make judgments without knowing the physical reality. What matters is whether I am in God and the Bible," he said.

He continued, addressing the pastors: "Today is the time when prophecies are being fulfilled, and the physical realities are appearing, so the Bible tells us to believe by seeing the physical realities that have appeared. Jesus said, 'Teach while doing.' Do not hastily condemn, but check and understand each verse of the Bible properly. Pastors should reflect on themselves before the Book of Revelation to avoid delivering the message incorrectly."

One pastor who attended the bible seminar that day commented, "Whenever I come to this bible seminar, there is so much to learn, and I feel ashamed as a pastor who has given shallow sermons all this while. When I listen to the word of Chairman Lee, there is a spiritual resonance, and I feel that I need to learn the basics again to renew myself and become a true pastor."

On the same day, several dozen pastors from Busan also headed to Cheongju to attend the bible seminar.

A pastor from an established church in Busan said, "This is the third time I’ve heard the word of Chairman Lee, and I am starting to understand it more. The way he continues his lecture by asking and answering questions himself is impressive, and I feel that this is a unique feature that can’t be found elsewhere."

According to the data released by Shincheonji headquarters, there are currently 779 churches in South Korea that have signed MOUs with Shincheonji Church of Jesus, and 83 churches have changed their signboards.

A more active trend is observed overseas. A total of 13,448 churches in 88 countries have signed MOUs, with around 1.1 million members.

1,535 overseas churches in 44 countries have changed their signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

Chairman Lee Man-hee Preaches the True Meaning of Christmas... Over 100 Christian Pastors Attended the Worship Service

On the 25th, Lee Man-hee, the chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, preached at the "Christmas Worship Service" held at Shincheonji Suwon Church, emphasizing, "That is why Jesus became the Savior."

Over 100 Protestant pastors from the city attended the 'Christmas Worship Service' hosted by Shincheonji Church of Jesus to celebrate together.

In his sermon, Chairman Lee emphasized the true meaning of Christmas and expressed gratitude for Jesus, who came in the flesh today, in the era of fulfilling the Book of Revelation, and shed His blood to atone for our sins. He urged everyone to not forget this and to live a life of faith according to the teachings of the Bible.

Chairman Lee reiterated, "God has worked to save humanity, and Jesus, fulfilling God's will, took on the world's sins and saved us."

He continued, "That is why the world celebrates the birth of Jesus today. If Jesus had not taken on the sins of the world, the entire world would have perished like in Noah's time due to sin."

"The purpose of our faith is to enter heaven. That is why, despite persecution, we have walked this path to today," he added. "The Book of Revelation will be fulfilled at the second coming of Jesus. The first coming of Jesus promised the fulfillment of Revelation," he emphasized.

Chairman Lee explained, "What Shincheonji Church of Jesus testifies is the fulfillment of prophecy, not something that will happen in the future," and encouraged, "If we are the fulfillment of Revelation that is being testified, people should come quickly, listen, and verify it."

He further stated, "Those who do not verify the physical reality of Revelation are not living their life of faith within the Bible, but outside of it. Isn't it better to live a life of faith knowing the truth rather than living a life of faith without understanding?"

He also advised the Protestant pastors who attended, "Every pastor should teach their Church members the truth about the fulfillment of Revelation," before concluding his sermon.

On this day, over 12,000 members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, including those from the Suwon Church, Seoul and Southern Gyeonggi Province of Shincheonji’s John Tribe, warmly welcomed the chairman and pastors. The church members greeted visitors with welcoming signs, such as "Welcome," "We love you," and others, all the way up to about 700 meters from the church.

A member of Shincheonji Church of Jesus who participated in the welcoming said, "I came here with anticipation, looking forward to seeing with my own eyes and hearing the words of someone who has witnessed God's work being fulfilled," and added, "I participated in the receiving line, hoping the pastors who came today receive many blessings."

Pastor Kim, a member of the Baptist Church who attended the worship service, said, "It was a time to deeply reflect on the meaning of Christmas, not just as a simple celebration, and I also gained insights into how to lead believers in their lives of faith. It was a time of great comfort amidst this chaotic and noisy world."

Shincheonji Church of Jesus stated, "Chairman Lee's sermon revealed that the work of Jesus' blood is being fulfilled in Shincheonji Church of Jesus, where the prophecy of Jesus is being fulfilled according to the Bible on this day. This was acknowledged by the Protestant pastors who were present. Going forward, Shincheonji Church will actively communicate and expand the exchanging of the word with Protestant pastors."

Meanwhile, Chairman Lee has demonstrated remarkable maneuvers and passion that is hard to believe for someone who is 93 years old. Since last January, he has visited more than 70 domestic branches of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, listening to the concerns of the believers, delivering the message of the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation, and emphasizing the importance of faith based on the Bible.

Zion Christian Mission Center Holds 115th Graduation Ceremony… “Proud to Master the Book of Revelation”

Press Release on 10/31

The Zion Christian Mission Center of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, held its 115th graduation ceremony for 110,000 graduates at Shincheonji Cheongju Church on the 30th. A total of 111,628 people graduated.

Chairman Lee Man-hee stated in his sermon during the graduation, “Shincheonji Church of Jesus masters not only the Book of Revelation but the entire Bible. How proud and wonderful this is,” and emphasized, “Let us not criticize or persecute one another, but cooperate and help each other so that our country becomes a truly shining nation.”

Despite this, the graduates this time marked the largest number ever in the history of a single denomination and achieved over 100,000 for the fourth time, following the years of 2019, 2022, and 2023.

On the day of the ceremony, around 10,000 foreign graduates and over 1,000 local and international religious leaders attended the event at Shincheonji Cheongju Church. Additionally, 3,377 pastors graduated, and 6,203 pastors are currently taking courses at the Zion Christian Mission Center.

Due to space limitations, graduates who couldn’t attend in person joined the ceremony online at Shincheonji churches across the country and overseas churches.

Chairman Lee Man-hee congratulated the graduates, saying, “The Bible tells us that the tree of life bears twelve kinds of fruits every month. You are the very embodiment of that,” and added, “Words cannot fully express our gratitude for this graduation.”

He also shared, “We must be grateful to the church where we grew up. It was because of that church that I received the word and grace,” and explained, “It is the freedom of a believer to choose which church to attend. What’s important is to teach those who didn’t know the word and to grow together.”

Finally, he encouraged, “Now that you have graduated, I hope you share the word with many people for free, as this is a fundamental expression of gratitude as a believer who has received grace. Let us not curse or speak ill of others. Even if we are persecuted, let us do good deeds.”

After the certificate presentation, a representative graduate, Kang Mo, shared his thoughts. Kang, who had served as a pastor in the Presbyterian Church of Korea for 25 years and currently runs his own church, drew attention.

He shared, “After deciding to truly understand, I became deeply immersed in the truth within three days of studying at the Zion Christian Mission Center, and I immediately began to preach the word in worship services. The joy on the faces of the church members as they listened to the sermon moved me deeply with grace.”

He also mentioned, “After signing an MOU with Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the participation of the congregation in worship, evangelizing, and volunteer activities became more joyful and active, bringing new vitality to the church,” and added, “On the 11th, all the church members confidently changed the church sign to that of Shincheonji Church of Jesus.”

Additionally, Shincheonji Church of Jesus conducted a pre-survey for one week starting from the 20th for 1,485 of the youth (ages 19-39) among the graduates from the 115th class. The survey confirmed the excellence of the word. When asked about the ‘contents and system of the Mission Center's lectures,’ 99.59% of the respondents answered ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied,’ with 92.66% of them citing ‘biblical teachings’ as the reason for their satisfaction.

The average score of the graduation exam taken by the local and international graduates of the 115th class was 96.5, further proving the outstanding education system.

A representative of Shincheonji Church of Jesus stated, “All graduates of the Zion Christian Mission Center, including the graduates from Class 115, have deeply studied the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, and have taken exams. Thanks to this unique educational system, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has achieved rapid growth, and many churches both domestically and internationally have requested collaboration upon seeing these results.”

A pastor attending the Shincheonji Bible Seminar in Seoul said, "I know why so many believers are coming."

[Press Release on Oct 2]

"Hearing that, I can see why so many believers are coming. I want to know more, and I want to learn."

On October 2nd, Pastor Jang, who is in his 60s, participated in the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar, Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation' and said, "I wanted to follow the fulfilled reality of Revelation, as Chairman Lee Man-hee said."

He added, "I sincerely hope that I, the pastor, will be able to understand the word properly first and convey the joy to my church members."

Like Pastor Jang's remarks, the '2024 Shincheonji Bible Seminar, Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation' held on that day has been heating up as more and more pastors stood and listened to it due to lack of seats for pastors.

When tens of thousands of people flocked to the Bible seminar held by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, in Masan and Busan respectively on the 25th and 29th of last month, the Bible seminar was organized additionally after receiving explosive attention.

A pastor who attended the Bible seminar in the Yeongnam region said, "I cried because I regretted my life as a pastor for 30 years while listening to Chairman Lee. I wondered what I would have been like if I had done my ministry focusing on spreading the gospel and the word," adding, "I felt that the true faith of Shincheonji Church of Jesus was really great."

The enthusiasm of pastors in the Yeongnam region continued to Seoul and grew. More than 150 pastors were expected to attend on this day, so Shincheonji Church of Jesus prepared the seats accordingly, but more pastors than expected attended, so they listened while standing. About 200 pastors attended on this day.

A total of 16,000 people attended the event, including pastors. Also, more than 10,000 members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus gathered outside the event site of the Bible seminar in Nowon, Seoul, to welcome the participants. Rumors say that many citizens took pictures or inquired at the scene where people gathered with signs and balloons with various welcome phrases on them.

In response to this interest, Chairman Lee, who was also a lecturer, freely went through the entire chapters of Revelation and gave a clear lecture on the prophecies of the Bible, their fulfillment, and the importance of the physical reality. Participants were enthusiastic, writing attentively or applauding while listening.

"Jesus promised to come back after fulfilling the Old Testament and promising the New Testament," Chairman Lee said in the lecture, adding, "He prophesied and left, so when he comes back, what has been promised will surely be fulfilled. When it is fulfilled, it is done as prophesied as if it is stamped. So, it says not to add or subtract."

"If you try to do well in your life of faith, it is important to compare the reality that has been fulfilled with the prophecy and understand," adding, "So you have to understand the word well, if you are living your life of faith according to the word, and reflect yourself before the Bible regardless of who you are."

"Let's know for sure from the prophecy to the physical reality of the Book of Revelation," adding, "Let's become believers recognized by God," Chairman Lee encouraged once again.

Finally, Chairman Lee asked the pastors, "You're not living a life of faith for power or respect, are you?" he said. "As much as we obey God and wish to live in heaven forever, let's live our life of faith together in terms of humbling ourselves and be born again."

Pastor Kim of a church in Gyeonggi-do said, "When I came across the revealed word of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, it was really good, so I am learning it after signing an MOU for exchanging the word," adding, "I was truly grateful that I was taught from Genesis to Revelation. I hope more pastors and believers will open their hearts and learn."

Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, "As the Bible seminar continues, besides the pastors who participated on site, many pastors who have watched live on YouTube have been inquiring about learning, the teaching materials, and how to teach Revelation," adding, "The number of pastors who realize the importance of the word is gradually increasing. We look forward to improving the overall standard of local churches when the pastors teach the believers what they have learned."

Shincheonji Church of Jesus Preparing for the Fourth 110,000 Graduation Ceremony Following Three 100,000 Graduation Ceremonies

[Press Release on Sept 3]

As more and more young people in their 20s and 30s leave their religion, the religious community is suffering. As future generations that are the backbone of each religion leave, it is becoming difficult for them to continue their existence.

The situation in the Protestant churches is particularly dire. The recruitment rate of new students at major theology universities and schools that foster future churches has declined year by year, but has recently fallen short or has a competition rate of one point. In this reality, the future of Protestantism is bleak.

On the other hand, not only is the number of young believers in their 20s and 30s in Shincheonji Church of Jesus increasing, but also more than 100,000 church members complete the regular courses for about eight months every year. Some even said that there would be more graduates this year than before.

Pastors of established churches who have faced these figures said, "It is a figure that cannot come from a church," and that it is nonsense. Established churches do not go through a special curriculum for ordinary church members, and even if there is an education, it is only for a few sessions. This is because more than 100,000 new church members cannot be gathered.

The secret to the growth of Shincheonji Church of Jesus is the result of preaching and educating based on the Bible, and the management of faith for the believers by those with appointed duty. As you can see the tree from the fruit, this begins from Chairman Lee Man-hee.

Since the past, Chairman Lee has visited each church across the country in person to inspect the overall operation and ask those with appointed duty, such as instructors, to treat the church members with a loving heart.

Despite being 93 years old, Chairman Lee is now more active than in the past. As of early September, he has visited 39 churches in Korea and abroad this year alone.

It means that he visited churches around the country more than once a week, and if this is converted into distance, he has moved more than 20,000 km. It is a distance of more than half the earth. On Sundays, Wednesdays, and even weekdays, he visits churches to create a better environment for the church members to live the life of faith, and to further listen to the voices of the church members to solve difficulties.

When Chairman Lee visits a church on Sundays and Wednesdays when there is a service, he gets on the podium and preaches powerfully for about an hour, focusing on Revelation. Revelation is a sermon topic that pastors of established denominations avoid as it is a challenge. However, although Chairman Lee does not open the Bible when preaching, he never deviates from it, and even pastors who have seen and heard it are impressed.

The ability of organizing shown by Shincheonji Church of Jesus has already been proven at three 100,000 graduation ceremonies. Evidence can be seen by the fact that there was not a single accident even though more than 100,000 people gathered in one place three times each in 2019, 2022, and 2023.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus said in regard to this, "The secret is that the growth of Shincheonji Church of Jesus was possible because of the outstanding revealed words based on the Bible and the Chairman's affection for his church members," and added, "The people with appointed duty will follow the example and serve the church members with love."

"Through this, we plan to surprise the world once again this year with a bigger and better-prepared graduation ceremony than last year," he added.

Laying the Foundation for Peace at the 'Religious Leader Peace Center' of Shincheonji Church of Jesus... It Is a "Snow Road" that Contradicts the Conflict in the Middle East

The war between Israel and Hamas is spreading throughout the Middle East. Conflicts and wars triggered by religion are continuing around the world. On the other hand, it also seems that the foundation of peace is being laid in this situation. A hopeful image of the spread of a culture is being created in which religious leaders from each country gather to exchange the word and cooperate.

Various religious leaders, including those of Buddhism, Christianity, Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam, are coming together to resolve religious divisions. They are making concrete achievements by creating a culture of peace based on the spirit of harmony, coexistence, and mutual respect.

The centerpiece of this peace culture is the "Religious Leader Peace Center," one of the international cooperation initiatives of Shincheonji Church of Jesus. The Peace Center began with a special lecture on Revelation held in Korea from February 20 to 23 as part of the Bible exchange program for global religious leaders who were invited for the first time.

The special lecture was attended by 80 leaders from 10 groups from 27 countries with the aim of gathering religious leaders from all over the world to understand, harmonize, and ultimately achieve peace.

They agreed that "in order to eliminate conflicts between religions and promote mutual cooperation, we need time to read and understand the scriptures of other religions," and they attended a lecture on Revelation together and had a discussion. It was a four-day exchange of scriptures in which various religious people, including those of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Confucianism, came together to find truth and share wisdom. A Buddhist leader who attended the event said, "I experienced the miracle of different religious leaders smiling and holding hands, being shoulder-to-shoulder and truly becoming one," adding, "If any religious leader comes and participates at least once, his or her mind will change enough to regret not participating earlier."

In the wake of this religious leader Bible exchange program, a more developed 'Peace Center' was established in a systematic form. Religious leaders are conducting programs that understand Christianity through the Bible and lead to conversation and cooperation between religions.

A unique scripture curriculum that explores the truth while respecting the doctrines and worldviews of each religion promotes an understanding of the human nature that religion pursues. As of 2024, 632 religious leaders are participating in this program.

In addition, among the religious leaders who attended the first lecture of the Peace Center, there were several people who planned and practiced exchanging the word between religions in their home countries.

For example, the "2024 Cambodia Religious Peace Vision Forum" was held at the Chak Angre Krom Pagoda temple in Cambodia on June 29. The event brought 120 monks, Shincheonji Church of Jesus' instructors, evangelists and 30 church members.

The monks who took the course at the Peace Center took charge of planning, inviting personnel, and running events, making this event distinctive. It is also encouraging that the students voluntarily raised all expenses. Representatives of the students gave lectures on the revealed word they had learned, leading to a positive response.

Since then, 104 newly attended monks have signed a 'pledge of exchange of scriptures' and promised to participate in the opening of centers in the future. "The faith of each religion is often considered inviolable to each other, but if you look closely at the basic teachings of most religious scriptures, the main content is to reveal the truth and build love, peace, harmony, and respect," said the monk, the organizer of the forum.

On May 24, 'Shincheonji Religious Peace Center' held a signboard hanging ceremony in Nagpur, India. It was opened by a Buddhist leader, a student from the first batch of the peace center, in the hope that various religious leaders would exchange the word in his office.

Since then, it has actually functioned as a venue for exchanges between local religious leaders, such as the "Interfaith Exchange for Peace Cultivation" event.

"Peace is a universal mission that requires the cooperation of all believers," said by the official from Shincheonji Church of Jesus regarding the spread of peace centers led by religious leaders from each country. He also said "By promoting conversations based on mutual understanding and respect, we will be able to overcome prejudice and cooperate together to achieve lasting peace in the global community."

Shincheonji Bible Seminar in France, Fire in the World of European Churches… Pastor's "Hope for Continuous Exchange of Teachings"

Lee Seung-joo, the tribe leader of Simon tribe said, "My life of faith has completely changed before and after I learned Revelation after listening to Chairman Lee Man-hee's word 28 years ago," at Shincheonji's '2024 Continental Shincheonji Bible Seminar' that was held locally at the invitation of European pastors on the 15th.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus held a Bible seminar in Europe following the Philippines in April. 1,000 pastors who were curious about Revelation attended this Bible seminar. Local pastors listened to the word with a smile, responding with "Amen" to the revealed word being testified.

"The more I testify about this word, the more spirits change and their lives of faith have been restored," tribe leader Lee said. "Don't you want to become the Europe that acts according to God's will and where believers’ lives of faith and churches are restored? If you understand Revelation and testify it according to the Bible, believers’ lives of faith and churches will be restored and certainly revived," the tribe leader stressed to the participants.

He explained that the book of Revelation is a prophecy, and because we cannot know the meaning of prophecies until the physical reality appears, no one could know it for more than 2,000 years since it was recorded. He also said that we can know when the author of Revelation tells us.

"If you look at Rev 22:8 and Rev 22:16, there is a pastor who receives a revelation directly from Jesus, and when the revelation regarding this pastor is fulfilled, it has been promised that he must go to the churches and testify after he has seen and heard at the place of the event," tribe leader Lee said. "Chairman Lee is a pastor who has seen and heard at the place of the event in person, and testifies when Jesus fulfills Revelation. Because he has seen and heard in person, there is power and vitality in his word testifying what he saw," he emphasized.

Then, he showed a video of Chairman Lee giving a lecture at the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar, Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation', held for pastors at Shincheonji Peace Institute in Cheongpyeong, Gyeonggi-do, on the 8th.

Chairman Lee said in the video, "It is recorded in Revelation that there are those who believed then betrayed, destroyers who destroy and make others betray, and a savior who appears after," adding, "When the physical reality appears, I see it, hear it, and deliver it."

"This person (Chairman Lee) has mastered Revelation. It means that I know all the physical realities of Revelation. It is not a small matter," he said. "Blessed are those who believe and keep Revelation. No matter how much good you have done, you will not be able to go to heaven if you add to or subtract from Revelation. You need to know who you are in Revelation," he emphasized.

"Before the time of Jesus' second coming, those born of God's seed and those born of the weed lived their lives of faith together, but at the time of the harvest, they are divided into those who are harvested and those who are not harvested. The harvest that is to be fulfilled at the second coming of Jesus is promised in Rev 14," said tribe leader Lee.

He then explained, "Then who are we as testified in the Bible? You need to know yourself through the word."

Tribe leader Lee asked back, "Shouldn't pastors learn about the harvest and be harvested, and teach all the church members about it?" He also emphasized, "The contents of the new covenant that we will keep are well recorded in Revelation. Let's fully learn and understand the word of Revelation and keep them."

In addition, he said, "If you want to restore faith in this era and recreate spirits, so that the church is revived and all the continents in Europe are united by the word of God, learn Revelation now and become pastors who testify Revelation."

"We are one in the Lord. God and Jesus are one, and there is only one Bible. If we enter the Bible of Jesus and God, we can become one. I pray that this opportunity will restore the faith of Europe and be re-created," he said.

318,034 people from Shincheonji have started its revealed life of faith by listening to the word over the past three years. As such, Shincheonji has held unprecedented 100,000-member graduation ceremonies three times, with a 103,764-member graduation ceremony in 2019, a 106,186-member graduation ceremony in 2022, and a 108,084-member graduation ceremony in 2023, and they will hold a grand graduation ceremony this fall with 110,000 graduates.

"I want to learn more about Revelation"… Shincheonji's Bible Seminar Was Also Delivered in France

"I am deeply impressed by your word about the Book of Revelation. I want to learn more about the Bible, but if you invite me to Korea, I will book a flight ticket now."

On the 15th (local time), Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony's Bible seminar, held in Paris, France, was successful amid keen interest from European pastors.

This Bible seminar is part of the '2024 Continental Bible Seminar,' which began in the Philippines on April 20th and was organized at the request of pastors eager to bring it back in Europe. Especially when congregations in Europe, which was the starting point of the Christian revival, declined, it was held at a time when it was urgent to come up with measures while churches in various places were being sold to restaurants, bars and clubs.

A total of 7,000 church members including about 1,000 European pastors have participated. Prior to the Bible seminar, a discussion was also held under the theme of 'The Role of Pastors for the Spiritual Enlightenment of Christians in this Era.'

A video of Chairman Man-hee Lee was shown at the Bible seminar. He gave a lecture at the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar on the Testimony of the Physical Realities of Revelation' which was held in South Korea on the 8th.

In the lecture video, Chairman Lee said, "God's work is done according to the Book of Revelation. I hope you (pastors) will understand the word and teach the saints. You should teach your church members without adding to or subtracting from the Book of Revelation."

After Chairman Lee's lecture video, a lecture on 'The Meaning and Physical Fulfillment of the Prophecies of the Bible' by Lee Seung-joo, the leader of Simon Tribe, followed.

"There is a vitality in the fulfilled revealed word of Revelation, so if the faith is restored and more people are recreated in the appearance of God, the churches in Europe will also be revived," said Lee Seung-joo, the tribe leader. "We hope you will testify after learning from chapter 1 to 22 of Revelation through the Zion Christian Mission Center of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which produces more than 100,000 graduates every year in recent years."

A pastor from Austria said on the same day, "I was impressed that Shincheonji Church of Jesus focused on the prophecies recorded in the Bible." A Polish pastor also asked, "I was tearful at the sight of European pastors and believers becoming one. I want to let more people know about this word, so please tell me how to do it."

An official of Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, "After the Bible seminar, many pastors in Europe have asked Shincheonji Church of Jesus how to learn the Book of Revelation," adding, "We will prepare places and programs for them to learn, and we will further revitalize Zion Christian Missionary Centers in Europe to expand the platform for them to learn." He also added, "Pastors around the world have asked for more Bible seminars, saying they want to learn more about Revelation. So we are planning and preparing for the Bible seminar, inviting pastors from around the world to Korea at the end of this year. I hope this will be a place to become one within the Word and God."

According to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, MOUs were signed with 12,538 churches in 83 countries abroad as of June 5 this year. 1,341 churches in 41 countries joined Shincheonji Church of Jesus and replaced their signboards. As of the end of May, the number of Korean and foreign pastors taking the Bible education at Zion Christian Mission Center reached 5,614 people.

The Upcoming Fourth '100,000 Graduation Ceremony' at the Zion Christian Mission Center

The Upcoming Fourth '100,000 Graduation Ceremony' at the Zion Christian Mission CenterShincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, established the Zion Christian Mission Center, a free Bible education institute, at Sadang-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, in 1990. Since then, they have been practicing Jesus' words, "You received without paying; give without pay.

"With only teachings from the Bible, the Zion Christian Mission Center quickly spread across the country. The Zion Christian Mission Center, which started in 1991 with 86 graduates, produced 1,365 people in 1998, 11,214 people in 2010, and 25,099 people in 2014, marking a growth that has never been dampened.

Since then, in 2019, 103,764 people attended the graduation ceremony after passing the examination after completing the introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels at the Zion Christian Mission Center. The world's largest graduation ceremony of a single denomination, which was unprecedented both in Korea and abroad, drew attention internationally.

Since then, it has switched to online lectures based on a systematic curriculum even during the COVID-19 pandemic, opening an era of Bible education without the limitation of place and time. Through the online graduation ceremony between 2020 and 2021, an average of 20,000 people completed the course annually.

106,186 and 108,084 people completed the course in 2022 and 2023, respectively, proving the excellence of the word once again. It is noteworthy that the trend of pastors and new students graduating has also increased rapidly.

A total of 522 graduates in 2022 were pastors and theology students, but it jumped more than 10 times to 6,274 in the following year. This year, as of the end of April, more than 10,300 domestic and foreign religious leaders are already taking classes, and more than 1,800 former religious leaders are waiting for the graduation ceremony after completing the course.

As of the end of May, including them, more than 110,000 students are studying at Zion Christian Mission Center, and 35,000 students are waiting for this year's graduation ceremony after completing all courses, so the 100,000 graduation ceremony will be held easily this year.

The secret to such rapid growth can be found through the results of a survey conducted by graduates. According to a survey of 1,504 graduates of the 114th Zion Christian Mission Center last year, 96.5% of the graduates answered positively to the question, "Do you think you were taught according to the Bible during the course?"

96.1% of the respondents answered positively to the question, "Did the lecture help you understand the Bible?"

Kwak ○○, a graduate student living in Daejeon, recalled, "Before I understood the word, I believed only the slanderous words that people said," adding, "I thought Shincheonji Church of Jesus as a heresy and cult, and those who enter the church cannot come out at will."

Kwak then said, "I learned the contents of the Bible that I did not understand after 25 years of faith (while learning my words with courage)," adding, "I hope that everyone learns and checks, rather than just listening to others."

The graduates had this response because they are systematically educated from the basic knowledge of the Bible to the prophecies and realities that pastors find difficult to understand the Bible as a whole.

The purpose is to teach the word of the fulfilled realities as promised in God's prophecies, and this is divided into ▲ Introductory ▲ Intermediate ▲ Advanced levels. Through this process, students must pass the graduation examination in the end in order to graduate.

The introductory level is a process of learning basic knowledge of the Bible, counseling to study with an open mind, and studying the true meaning of the secrets of heaven that Jesus said in parables, recorded throughout the Bible. Then, the intermediate level is a process of catching the flow of the entire Bible, and examining the work of God's creation and re-creation by each chapter of the Bible, and to confirm the work of God who is alive through prophecies and fulfillment.

Finally, the advanced level is a process of learning about Revelation, a book of prophecies of the New Testament. Revelation contains the most important content that concludes God's 6,000-year work of restoration, and in this course, you will learn how and in what order the prophecies of Revelation were accomplished today.

An official from the Zion Christian Mission Center said, "Just as we made the covenant with Abraham during Moses' time and the Old Testament during the First Coming of Jesus, we have also fulfilled the New Testament. Our mission center testifies this 'physical fulfillment'," and added, "As we teach this to be easy to understand based on the 5W1H and engrave the word in our heart through tests, the graduates are literally becoming 'walking Bibles'. Through those who have felt the change, more people are now inquiring about taking the classes."

Shincheonji and Established Denominations Held a Bible Test "Stop Conflict and Check with the Bible"

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, held a joint Bible test with an established denomination with the aim of stopping the old conflicts with the established denomination, to have them stop accusing Shincheonji Church of Jesus of being heretics, and to live a life of faith based on the Bible.

On the 24th, Shincheonji Church of Jesus invited pastors from established churches in 11 regions across the country, including Seoul, Suwon, Busan, Gwangju, Daegu, and Incheon, and gathered with instructors from Shincheonji Church of Jesus to hold a 'Bible Test Challenge'.

The Bible test was conducted at the proposal of Shincheonji Church of Jesus to resolve inter-denominational conflicts and have the right faith by checking ourselves to see whether we are practicing our faith based on the Bible before God and whether we are adding to or subtracting from the Revelation that we need to know today.

For fairness, the test questions were made by two people: the education director of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and a pastor belonging to the Presbyterian Church. There were a total of 10 questions, which contained prophecies of the New Testament and the book of Revelation. A total of 313 people took the exam. (312 instructors from Shincheonji Church of Jesus and one from the Full Gospel)

In order to hold the Bible test, Shincheonji Church of Jesus asked more than 30,000 pastors from established churches nationwide in person and by mail to attend this event. According to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, dozens of pastors said they would take the test, but among them, only one pastor, who has served as a Full Gospel pastor for 42 years, attended the test.

This pastor expressed happiness to participate but at the same time expressed disappointment over the remarkably low attendance rate of pastors. He said, "I can't say anything, but we have to work hard to gather. If they promised, they should have come; that's upsetting."

He added, "I plan to introduce [the test] to the pastors that I know [to encourage them to attend the test]."

A pastor from the Presbyterian Church who participated as an exam question writer expressed, "We prepared for this test with the hope that it would be a meaningful time to look back on our faith once more as [established churches and Shincheonji] contrasted with each other."

Shincheonji instructors who took the test also expressed regret and hoped to interact with pastors from established churches.

Son Yong-ho, an instructor at Daegu Church of Thaddeus Tribe, said, "There may be misunderstandings and prejudices about Shincheonji, but I would like to communicate, exchange the word, and find things to learn about each other with an objective perspective." Kim Soo-jin, an instructor at Pohang Church of the same tribe, said, "I hope that it becomes a path where we can hope for heaven in the same God, Jesus, and the Bible, and communicate, interact, and coexist together."

Kim Woo-nam, an instructor at Busan Church of Busan James Tribe, also said, "I think today will gradually increase the number of pastors who will take the test together," adding, "I think this start itself is also important."

An official of Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, "I don't think it would have been easy for the pastors to respond to the proposal for the Bible test. I understand that there were cases where they gave up taking the test due to the attention from people around them, and they had a lot of worries."

"The Bible test is not about identifying who did better, but the purpose is to lower ourselves in front of God and the word, to check ourselves and to have the right faith," he said. "We hope that from now on, we will become more active in the future. Let's become one and co-exist with the Bible."

40th Anniversary Ceremony of the Foundation of Shincheonji

In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the founding of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, the commemoration ceremony and worship service were held at Cheongpyeong Shincheonji Peace Training Center, and excellent safety management and order maintenance were once again highlighted.

The ceremony was organized to offer glory to God by looking back on the process that Shincheonji Church of Jesus has grown since being founded on March 14, 1984. In addition, plans and visions for the year ahead were shared, and they pledged to serve and practice as light and salt while fulfilling the role of the church in civil society.

Approximately 30,000 church members attended the site, and it was live-broadcasted to 66 countries including Korea simultaneously.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus has prepared the event by maintaining the order and safety management of the participants as a top priority, considering that more people are gathering compared to the size of the event. The organizers have already established a detailed safety management plan to reflect their experience of holding three graduation ceremonies with 100,000 graduates safely and smoothly. The saints also exercised a high sense of citizenship, actively followed the leadership of the staff, and helped maintain smooth order.

Chairman Lee explained the meaning and background of steady growth, saying, "The beginning (of Shincheonji Church of Jesus) was too weak. But today, many people came because God sent angels from heaven according to what it is written in the Bible." "Jesus also wanted to throw his whole body and go as God's will. So today, we must know God and our hope, not blind faith," he said. "We must follow God's will and love our neighbors as I do," he emphasized. Lastly, "More and more people are learning the Book of Revelation, which is the purpose of God in the Bible. I am grateful," he said. Also, "Let more people be saved by the word. Let's work together to achieve a good world."

Then it was followed by celebratory performances prepared by the 12 tribes to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Shincheonji's foundation.

Meanwhile, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has continued to develop since its foundation, despite the atmosphere of the worldwide Christian downturn. Since the establishment of the Zion Christian Mission Center in Sadang, Seoul, in June 1990, there has been a steady increase in the number of graduates. At the 110th graduation ceremony in 2019, 103,764 graduates were produced, opening the era of 100,000 graduates. Since then, 106,186 and 108,084 have completed the Zion Christian Mission Center  in 2022 and 2023, respectively, achieving more than 100,000 enrollment for the two consecutive years.

At the same time, as a result of promoting the exchanging of teachings with the value of shared growth through harmony with the religious circles at home and abroad, 443 churches in South Korea and 9,462 churches in 77 countries abroad signed MOUs to exchange teachings. 1,382 churches from 38 countries globally recognized the excellence of the word by changing their signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus after the exchange of teachings.

An official from Shincheonji Jesus Church said, "As we prepared the event with a focus on safety and order, we felt rewarded when the event went smoothly. We also thank the saints for their active participation in the instructions," adding, "This year will be an example for society, a church that fulfills its social role as a church community, and a church that becomes light and salt."

2024 Shincheonji Bible Seminar in Busan

"I reflected on the words that say, 'I must change myself first.' I want to delve deeper into the teachings of Shincheonji Church and, initially, share them with pastors and eventually spread the gospel to the world."

Following the event in Ulsan on the 17th, the second '2024 Shincheonji Bible Seminar' of the year took place in Busan on the 20th. Pastor A, who has been active as a missionary for about 20 years, shared these thoughts.

Busan James Tribe and Andrew Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, held the 2024 Shincheonji Bible Seminar on the 6th floor auditorium of Andrew Training Center in Busan at noon on the 20th, attended by pastors, theology students, and citizens of Busan. Similar to the event in Ulsan, there was a lack of seats, and attendees stood in the aisles, proving the fervent atmosphere.

This Bible seminar has been organized since last year in response to steady requests from pastors in the Gyeongsang region. Approximately 1,800 people, including over 100 pastors from the Busan area, attended the event.

Pastor B, with 20 years of pastoral experience, who attended the Bible seminar, stated, "The Chairman's words, 'Let's unite our efforts to achieve good,' resonated with me. Instead of opposing Shincheonji Church outright, other pastors should create opportunities to listen to the teachings and make judgments."

The keynote speaker at the Bible seminar, Chairman Lee Man-hee, stated, "Now is the time when the prophecy of Revelation is being fulfilled in reality. Only those who have seen and heard this reality can testify to it." He emphasized, "The testimony of those who have seen the reality comes from Shincheonji Church. If there are any inaccuracies, please talk to us."

The Chairman said, "The book of Revelation is a prophecy, and when the time comes, the true reality appears exactly as prophesied. Therefore, if one has added to or subtracted from Revelation, one cannot enter heaven but will receive curses. We must be aware of this fact." He emphasized, "We need to know who is saved and who is not."

Continuing, he said, "I am not speaking words that are not in the Bible. If you listen and understand the words in the Bible and act accordingly, then you can become a walking Bible.” He explained, "Anyone who listens to this word and keeps it in their hearts will be transformed by the word." While he said, "Learn the words of the Bible and feel the change within yourself," applause and cheers filled the audience, accompanied by the crowd responding with "Amen."

He urged pastors not to forget their responsibility, saying, "You must teach the Book of Revelation to everyone; otherwise, you should feel sorry. Look at yourself, reflect, and confirm. You should have knowledge of the Bible for verification. Pastors, more than anyone else, must understand and lead in the proclaiming of this word."

B, a 57-year-old woman who has always been interested in the Bible, said, "I was amazed by the straightforward interpretation without even opening the Bible. I have attended various churches, but this is the first time I've heard the Bible explained so clearly. I want to learn the Bible properly through Shincheonji's Bible lectures."

A representative from Andrew Tribe of Shincheonji stated, "The reason so many people attended the first Bible seminar of the year in Busan, following Ulsan, is primarily the thirst for the Bible's teachings." He added, "We plan to continue providing opportunities for pastors and citizens in Busan to resolve their curiosity about the Bible."

Meanwhile, Busan James Tribe is satisfying people's curiosity about Shincheonji and maintaining communication with local residents through an 'Open House,' while Andrew Tribe is continuing to resolve people's curiosity about Shincheonji and continuing communication with the community through a 'Life-Changing Communication Seminar.'

The Secret of Having the 100,000 Graduation Ceremony at Shincheonji Church of Jesus Three Times!!

Hello.

You all know about the Shincheonji 100,000 graduation ceremony in Daegu last year.

According to the characteristics of this graduation ceremony, the number of pastors who graduated in the 3rd graduation ceremony increased sharply. Did you know that?

There is a news article which states that the number of former and current pastors and theology students in Korea and abroad in the 100,000 graduation ceremony was 6,274.

This is 10 times more than that of the graduation ceremony the year before last.

Why do pastors who are not ordinary saints come to Shincheonji?

Still, they know a lot of the Bible and are pastors who teach others, but are they tricked into coming to Shincheonji?

Because when you come to Shincheonji, you become a regular saint, but why did they join Shincheonji?

Of course, pastors are also people who believe in God and Jesus and want to achieve heaven, which is the hope of believers.

Because they are more desperate than anyone else, the job of a pastor itself does not lead them to heaven.

That might be why they are as enlightened in the word as they were fervent in their life of faith.

Also, in order to understand the value of Shincheonji's words, we understand the Bible because we saw it more than ordinary Christians.

In particular, pastors often get confused as to whether it is a correct interpretation or not while delivering the message.

Some say this, others say that, and so on...

However, when you encounter Shincheonji among them, as pastors, you would feel the most frustrated as you realize that words that cannot be fulfilled by human power are perfectly proven.

It might be that they have abandoned everything in the midst of that to achieve the essence of faith.

In other words, in order to achieve the purpose of pastors, saints, or the life of faith, we have to go to a place where the word of God is testified without adding to or subtracting from it.

In addition, Chairman Lee Man-hee said that pastors should teach the right word in their church as pastors, not in Shincheonji.

He is calling for pastors and saints to be led to heaven with the word of Revelation that was not added to or subtracted from.

This means that the pastors and sheep (believers) should all be saved.

At this place!

Why are pastors learning Shincheonji's words even though they studied the Bible and read many books while attending theology school?

If you checked first if the theology school teaches the word, you would know that is not the case.

One of the pastors' qualifications is to convey and teach the word, but there is no learning process in seminaries that teaches the true meaning of the word.

There is no place in any theology school that informs the true meaning of chapters 1 to 22 of Revelation clearly.

This is because it is only possible to know Revelation through the promised pastor who has mastered it, and to know the secret of heaven in the world through the Holy Spirit.

There is only one place in the world where you can learn like that, and that is Shincheonji.

That is why many pastors and church members find God alive in the word when they understand the word.

As the number of pastors who participate in graduation ceremony increases, the size of Shincheonji increases.

This is because even the member saints are continuously learning the words of Shincheonji at a rapid pace as pastors are being evangelized.

One pastor who made a speech at the graduation ceremony confessed, "I will lead my sheep to the chairman."

In this way, the pastors become direct guides who not only believe, but also allow their church members to listen to the word.

Like this, Shincheonji is increasing rapidly every year, and in some Christian churches, when church members go to Shincheonji, they feel a sense of crisis.

Within these 10 years, 1.8 million people have decreased, and Shincheonji is not taking out church members.

Shincheonji is where one comes from the city and two from the tribe, as the Bible says.

It is growing every year as people come to Shincheonji where God and Jesus are.

Now, the testimony of the fulfillment is spreading around the world, and countless people are acknowledging Shincheonji's words.

In other words, I would like to say that it is not us snatching them away, but they understand the word and choose Shincheonji.

Of course, there are many difficulties when entering Shincheonji, but there are many people who live busily due to having a lot of work even if they do not live a life of faith.

For old age, job, house, etc...

Everyone is living diligently for their own purposes.

However, such a life also ends up dying, and what kind of life did you live in front of God? You will be judged through the word.

As you understand the word, you will realize that there was an eternal life, an invisible world of spirit, that there was God's purpose, will, and direction.

In other words, it is by no means an easy way to walk the path of heaven and eternal life, but I would like to tell you that we live our life of faith together for the kingdom of heaven.

100,000 Graduation Ceremony of Shincheonji Zion Christian Mission Center Held on the 12th

The '100,000 Graduation Ceremony,' which was held on the 12th by more than 100,000 saints who entered Shincheonji Church of Jesus this year, was completed in an orderly manner without a single accident.

The Zion Christian Mission Center, which is the Bible Education Institution of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, held a ceremony for 'The Graduation Ceremony of Class 114 of the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji, Zion Christian Mission Center' at Daegu Stadium. A total of 108,084 graduates attended the ceremony. It is the third time that there were more than 100,000 graduates, following 103,764 in 2019 and 106,186 in 2022.

The graduation ceremony, which began with the opening declaration of Lee Man-hee, chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, led to the broadcast of congratulatory videos by delegates from around the world, including former judges of the Constitutional Court of Romania, Petre Lazerro Ayu, and a commemorative speech by Chairman Lee. In his commemorative speech, Chairman Lee said, "God will be watching our meeting. Let's make a good world come true according to God's will," encouraging graduates and celebrants.

Regarding the class on Revelation that the graduates took, Chairman Lee said, "The book of Revelation is not a lot, but it contains a great deal of the kingdom of God," and emphasized, "It is God's will to let many people know all this and believe in this."

He also said, "The fact that God and heaven become one with the Earth means that it will become a holy world ruled by God," adding, "Let's make a good world be fulfilled according to God's will."

Tan Young-jin, president of the Zion Christian Mission Center, said in a congratulatory message, "[All of you, the graduates] heard the best revealed word in 6,000 years and confirmed what God promised today. So I believe that you have clearly realized who you are according to the Bible. Now, let's take the lead in healing the nation and achieving world peace together."

A 15-minute card section performance featuring more than 10,000 people was held at the completion ceremony under the theme of "Revelation of the New Testament Testified by Shincheonji: Events of Betrayal, Destruction, Salvation," drawing enthusiastic cheers and applause. The card section, which encapsulates the meaning of "All Chapters of the Entire Book of Revelation," is considered the only comprehensive cultural and artistic content in the world that expresses the prophecy of the Book of Revelation and its physical reality.

Chung Hyeon-mo's graduation speech, following the award of the graduation certificate, the moving of the tassels, and the award of the certificate of merit, also received a lot of attention.

Jeong, the current vice president of Korean graduate school, said, "I was invited to the 113th 100,000 graduation ceremony last year. I was very curious about the secret of 100,000 people gathering every year despite the harsh persecution, and I was especially curious about how young people who filled the stadium were so lively and energetic. When I heard that the secret is the word, I took a course at the Zion Christian Mission Center."

"I took a course at the Zion Christian Mission Center, and master's and doctoral courses at the Graduate School of Theology at the same time based on my belief that I would not walk the path unless it was the right way," he said. "The level of the word was really as different as heaven from earth. Shincheonji testified not only the true meaning of the Book of Revelation, but also the fulfilled reality of the prophecy without adding to or subtracting from it. I will repay this grace and love as the child of light that conveys the word of God," he emphasized.

A total of 6,274 former and current domestic and foreign pastors and seminarians completed the graduation ceremony, drawing attention. The figure is 10 times higher than that of the 522 pastors at last year's graduation ceremony.

Meanwhile, this year's graduation ceremony was successfully completed with considerable effort on order and safety. As many people gathered in one place, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has established a transportation movement plan to allow participants to enter and leave the city for more than 10 hours. There are more than 2,200 tour buses that moved to attend the event, and Shincheonji Church of Jesus distributed the garage to various areas such as Dalseong-gun, Changnyeong-gun, and Ulsan-si to minimize traffic congestion.

"As it was a large-scale event, we focused on safety and order," a Shincheonji Church of Jesus official said. "We also focused on establishing a medical system, such as conducting emergency rescue training and deploying medical staff, to prepare for temperature drops and emergencies."

"Shincheonji Church of Jesus is the only place in the world where more than 100,000 saints gather a year. This is because the word of truth is in Shincheonji where God and Jesus are together. I hope you will check the word and become one in the Bible," he said.

Pastor who served for 35 years praised highly by saying "When it comes to the word, we have to learn from Shincheonji" at the Busan Bible Seminar.

"There is nothing wrong with what Chairman Lee said. I think we should come to Shincheonji and learn about the word."

A pastor who has been active in Busan for more than 35 years attended the Shincheonji Bible Seminar held on the 18th under the theme of "The physical reality of the promised pastor in the time of the Second Coming" and made these remarks about Chairman Lee's lecture.

He added, "It was an opportunity to make a commitment to not regard it as heresy, but to check and learn Revelation through exchanging the word with each other in the future."

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Lee Man-hee, hereafter referred to as Shincheonji Church of Jesus) held a "Shincheonji Bible Seminar" at Andrew Training Center in Busan on the 18th, attended by 1,600 pastors and regular believers.

Following last April, 100 pastors who applied in advance attended the Busan Bible Seminar, which was held for the second time this year at the request of pastors and ordinary saints, reflecting the high interest of Shincheonji Bible Seminar recently.

In addition, Shincheonji Church of Jesus provided vehicles with LED videos in major downtown Busan and broadcasted them live for pastors, ordinary saints, and citizens who were curious about the word of Shincheonji.

Furthermore, the official YouTube channel simultaneously transmitted in 10 languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Russian, and French, along with Korean, spreading the word of Revelation around the world. The number of viewers watching online at the same time reached 36,000.

On this day, Chairman Lee Man-hee pointed out chapter by chapter of Revelation under the theme of "The reality of the promised pastor at the time of the Second Coming," clearly proving the meaning and reality of the promised pastor at the time of the Second Coming.

Chairman Lee said, "It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus sowed the seeds at the time of the First Coming, and that he will come to harvest at the time of the Second Coming. Before this, Jesus opened the Bible that had been sealed, chose a pastor, and told him to deliver it as he heard it." He also said, "The promised pastor today is delivering [the word] according to the Bible."

Chairman Lee said, "There is a verse in the Bible that the sun, moon, and stars darken and fall. This word refers to the people of God, who are deceived by false pastors and are judged and disappear." He also emphasized, "It can be said that it is a metaphor that the religion that should be light has become night when the word was misdelivered and lost its light."

Chairman Lee also said, "Those who don't know the Bible well and say, 'It’s this, it’s that,' must repent before God."

"Today, the promised pastor who was chosen by Jesus during his Second Coming stood here to deliver what he has seen and heard from the Bible recorded by God and Jesus," adding, "Through the Bible Seminar, you should believe the words of God and Jesus, not me."

Most of the participants responded to Chairman Lee's powerful lecture with applause, cheers, and loud laughter.

A pastor who attended the Bible Seminar on that day, said, "I was surprised to see the chairman preach without any disruption despite being 93 years old. I was surprised once again because I felt the same passion as a young man, and he delivered the words without looking at the Bible."

Another pastor who has been working in Busan for more than 20 years also said, "I have thought that the Reformation of this era, which truly unites Christianity, should take place," adding, "I think I will be able to have confidence and unwavering faith in the words through the Bible Seminar," he said, hinting that he will continue exchanging through the words of Shincheonji.

In addition, a citizen who visited Andrew Training Center said, "Chairman Lee's sermon was, in a word, pleasant. During the Second Coming, the physical reality of Jesus and the promised pastor could be seen."

"It was frustrating because there was no place in any denomination to deliver Revelation, but I am relieved that it seems to be clear now. I want to learn Shincheonji's word of Revelation properly," he revealed.

An official from Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, "At the end of April, not only ordinary saints but also former and current pastors showed considerable interest," adding, "The number of pastors who applied to attend and those who applied with their acquaintances because they wanted to hear more about Revelation after attending the last Bible Seminar is increasing. I hope you will check the reasons for Shincheonji's growth at various seminars being held across the country, as well as the Shincheonji Bible Seminar, which is taking place in the second half of this year."

According to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, 1,600 people including 450 pastors have participated in the Bible Seminar in Seoul, 2,000 people including 200 pastors have participated in the Bible Seminar in Daejeon, 2,000 people including 100 pastors have participated in the Bible Seminar in Daegu, and a total of 7,200 people attended the seminar in Busan, showing unrelenting interest.

Meanwhile, the Bible Seminar of Shincheonji Church of Jesus began in Seoul on the 7th and was then held in Daejeon on the 11th and Daegu on the 15th. Following Busan on the 18th, it will be held on the 21st in Gwangju, the final destination of the Bible Seminar, under the theme of 'The 144,000 and the white multitude who will receive salvation’.

More Than 200 Pastors Attended the Bible Seminar Held at Shincheonji Church in Daejeon on the 11th

"The guidelines of my lifetime, which had been my dream of overseas missionary work, have completely changed. Now, with confidence and unwavering faith in the word, I will devote myself to ministry based on the words of Shincheonji Church of Jesus."

A pastor who has been in the ministry for 30 years expressed his feelings about attending the Shincheonji Bible Seminar held in Daejeon.

The encouraging response of pastors who attended the Bible Seminar hosted by Chairman Lee Man-hee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereafter referred to as Shincheonji Church of Jesus) is drawing attention.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus held a Bible Seminar at Shincheonji Church in Seo-gu, Daejeon, at noon on the 11th. Of the 2,000 participants, there were 200 pastors from established churches, proving the pastors' interest in the word of Shincheonji Church of Jesus and a distinct change.

These interests and changes are interpreted as being a result of the efforts of Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Shincheonji Church of Jesus has held several meetings with pastors this year to present solutions for the shared growth of Korean churches.

On the same day, Chairman Lee Man-hee gave a 'Lecture of the Physical Fulfillment of the Whole Book of Revelation' for one hour, summarizing the key points of prophecies and the physical realities of Revelation which pastors are most curious about.

Chairman Lee said, "You must understand and believe only God's unchanging words," adding, "If you are a promised shepherd of God, you will do what was promised," and added, "Jesus also said, 'Even though you do not believe me, believe the works.' It is the same for today. If you see what was done and it's right, you have to believe it," he stressed.

Furthermore, "We need to know this word and the physical fulfillment in order to be said as 'not adding to or subtracting from [Revelation]'. Reading the Bible continuously is not everything," he said, adding "We must trust the Book of Revelation correctly and make it ours."

He also stressed that those who have mastered the new covenant should have true faith and said, "This is absolute, and those who ignore it and oppose it will not be saved." 

"The believers of Shincheonji are evangelizing with absolute faith in God's words," Chairman Lee said. "Let's be colleagues who go to heaven together."

Participants often responded with "Amen" or applauded and listened to Chairman Lee's lectures. There were also many audience members who saved the contact information that was shown for those who wish to inquire about follow-up education in their mobile phones.

A pastor confessed, "It is the reality of the Korean Christian community that denominations continue to be divided and antagonized," adding, "I was touched that Shincheonji Church of Jesus held seminars and meetings to inform all believers of the word of Revelation."

Also, a former pastor who worked for 10 years said, "I was challenged as a pastor because I felt the sincerity of Chairman Lee who tried to let the believers know the words of Revelation," adding, "After listening to the word today, I confirmed that the words of Shincheonji Church of Jesus are the most biblical, and I want to serve as a bridge to connect the people who misunderstood with Shincheonji Church of Jesus."

A citizen who attended the Bible Seminar also said, "It seems that the believers of Shincheonji have not lost their clear and clean images and bright smiles despite the misunderstandings and persecution of the world. I thought it was a one-time opportunity to show off their volunteering activities such as the large-scale blood donation event, but the sight of Shincheonji believers living their lives dedicated to volunteer work for the achievement of Revelation is moving in and of itself." 

Meanwhile, the Matthias tribe of Shincheonji broadcasted the live seminar at the branch churches located in Cheongju, Cheonan, Gongju, Seosan, Asan, Sejong, and Nonsan for pastors and regular saints who were unable to attend the Bible Seminar.

The Bible Seminars of Shincheonji Church of Jesus for the second half of this year began in Seoul on the 7th and continued to Daegu on the 15th, Busan on the 18th, and Gwangju on the 21st.
