Shincheonji church’s nationwide “Open Bible Seminar: The Second Coming and Harvest” was held in Seoul, Korea, on 4th October to an audience of 2000 - of whom 1000 were pastors and theology students. The second of the six seminars was then held in Songdo Central Park Hotel, Incheon, on 10th October to another audience of 2000 guests. Shincheonji church had received interest from 4000 applicants for the seminar in Incheon. To accommodate, the seminar was livestreamed in the nearby Samsan Convention Hall as well as ten churches in Incheon and neighbouring Gimpo, Bucheon, and Gwangmyeong.

The seminar opened with a  moving children’s performance, warming guests’ hearts to prepare them for the one-hour sermon on the word of God delivered by the promised pastor of the New Testament and chairman of Shincheonji church, Man Hee Lee. Chairman Lee spoke on the theme ‘God's Creation and Promise of a New Thing'. He began the sermon saying, “I stand here to make known to you the fulfillment of Revelation in God’s 6000-year work. God, who left this world, made a plan to return, and His plan will be complete when the book of Revelation is fulfilled. This is the creation of God’s promised new kingdom and new people.”

In an era where believers often neglect the Bible in favour of their pastor’s teachings, Chairman Lee stressed, “We must believe in the Bible, not in the words of men. We must believe in and verify the word of God for ourselves. One must check whether one is truly saved and whether there is a place one must go to find salvation.”

The audience, which ranged in demographic from early 20s-seniors, heard of the Open Bible seminar through word of mouth, leaflets delivered through their homes, newspaper advertisements or online correspondence. These are some of the participants' testimonies:-

“I was confident that I knew a lot about the Bible. I was moved by the chairman’s words and received much grace from him. I also want to learn this word to share it with my acquaintances. Moreover, after today’s lecture, I will tell my colleague pastors that Shincheonji Church of Jesus is not a cult or a heretical church.”

“Through today's seminar, I clearly understood why God's new kingdom is growing rapidly. I was impressed by the teaching on God's history and purpose through the consistency of the Old and New Testaments. We will learn more through their follow-up course.”

"My impression of Shincheonji has completely changed through today's event. I've registered on their follow-up course."

The sermon ended with a prayer led by Chairman Lee, followed by a loud "Amen" as the audience raised their hands upwards to return all the glory to God.
After the seminar, which concluded at 9pm, 400 people registered their interest in Shincheonji church's 'follow-up' six-month intensive Bible study which provides an in-depth study of the entire Bible that covers the book of Revelation. In 2019, a staggering 100,000 people will have completed this study.
