Exhibition - 'A Gift from Heaven': Shincheonji Church of Jesus

An exhibition entitled ‘A Gift of Heaven' was organised by Peter tribe’s Gwangju branch of Shincheonji Church of Jesus (hereon ‘Shincheonji Church’) in the first week of May 2019. It was held to explore the meaning of life by examining life’s fundamental problems and providing solutions. The exhibition did this by exploring the Biblical themes of creation, religion, prophecy and fulfilment, and secrets of heaven, as well as how to live a purpose-driven life and addressing the misunderstandings about Shincheonji Church.

The most impressive feature of the exhibition was a lecture entitled ‘Revelation of John', which explored the true meaning of the Book of Revelation. The speaker explained: “although the cause of humanity’s suffering originated in Genesis, God has a plan to restore all creation back to its origin, as recorded in Revelation. The answers to life and faith can all be found in the Bible. I want you to feel confident knowing there is a solution to all of life’s problems."

One guest, Mr. Sun-hee Lee, who visited with his parents, said, "I liked the variety of activities I saw. I always had a lot of prejudices about Shincheonji but I think these thoughts have changed a little."

A Shincheonji Church representative from Peter tribe said, “Peter tribe, which began with a handful of people in a harsh climate, now has more than 40,000 members.” He continued, saying: “The reason why so many people come every year is because they are putting Jesus’ teachings into practice as the light and salt of the world and teaching the Bible in its entirety. I would invite you to check the church and the word for yourself, and let me know how you see it."

The exhibition also displayed works of art such as 'The Pleasure of Honey' which depicts a painting of a candle being quickly extinguished by the wind, illustrating how fleeting the pleasures of life can be. Shincheonji Church’s Public Relations Center provided children’s activities, a food zone serving a variety of foods, and various arts and culture performances.

The exhibition will remain open until the end of the month with lectures scheduled at 10:30am and 8pm daily for all to attend. An estimated 6000 residents are expected to walk through its doors this month.
