Chairman Man Hee Lee proclaims the 'Gospel of Revelation' in 7 cities, including Seoul

Religious world will soon become “Shincheonji-centred"

Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus delivers a lecture at the 'Open Bible Seminar for Pastors' in Gyeonggi province on December 7th. More than 400 pastors and church officials attended the seminar.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ 'Open Bible Seminar on the Second Coming and Harvest' (Chairman Man Hee Lee) has been successfully held in the country over the last two months since October. The religious circles haven’t given an official response but it is said that they are tense.

Since its founding, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has worked to make known the reality of the New Testament. Chairman Man Hee Lee has been particularly active in evangelism, making known the fulfilment of Revelation in seven cities and hosting the 'Open Bible Seminar for Pastors'. At each of the seminars held in large cities including Seoul, Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan and Gwangju, the number of attendees was 2000-4000. Local branch churches opened their doors to accommodate guests who could not attend because of capacity.

Chairman Lee said, “A believer must know who the Bible speaks of. You must know what time it is today, and know that you have become part of this new era by perceiving the reality of the book of Revelation."

An incumbent elder said, “I listened from the beginning to the end", and confessed, "The Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus is the messenger of Jesus." The seminars led to much inquiry from Christian participants. Each of the twelve tribes hosted their own seminar within each region nationwide, followed by seminars in some 60 Shincheonji branch churches on November 22-23rd.

Chairman Lee pointed out, "Everyone says they’ll go to heaven and they brag about it, but can they?" “The promise in the Bible is that a new era will come after the old passes away. However so-called 'believers' are holding on to a vague faith without knowing the promise - aren’t they?” This can be confirmed based on the number of registrations for follow-up education. According to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, more than 70,000 people are currently taking follow-up courses online or offline.

On 7th December, the 'Open Bible Seminar for Pastors' included a gathering of a large number of pastors in Gyeonggi province as more than 400 pastors and church officials from all over the country attended.

Listening to participants' testimonies points to a strong change within the Church. A former pastor who attended the Open Bible Seminar for Pastors said, “This is the place where the grace of the Word can be found. It would have been much larger than it is now if existing denominations had not hindered Shincheonji. In the future, the religious world will become 'Shincheonji-centred'. Many people will go to Shincheonji Church of Jesus within the next few years."

He continued: “The fact is that the existing Church is so corrupt. When Catholicism lapsed in the Middle Ages, Luther carried out the Reformation. Today, Shincheonji is shouting out for reforms against the corrupt Church."

A spokesperson for the General Assembly Headquarters of Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, “The Open Bible Seminar was essential in informing many believers - from laypeople to pastors - about the end of one era and the beginning of a new era. The only place that can clearly and concisely make this known is Shincheonji Church of Jesus. I think many people have realised this through the seminars. For this reason, inquiries and applications for Bible education will increase more rapidly."
