✦ In part 6 of ''Overseas Pastors' Post-Seminar Interview'' video released by Shincheonji Church of Jesus on the 3rd December, Pastor Okello Patrick of Cornerstone Healing Center Church, South Sudan expressed his thoughts after attending the Shincheonji Online Bible Seminar, saying, “If you want to know God, you need to know the meaning of a 'parable'. This seminar on Revelation gave me new knowledge of Revelation❞

[Cheonji Ilbo = Correspondent Su-kyung Kang] As the response in Korea grows to the expository seminar series on the entire Book of Revelation, which is more than half-way through and has been simultaneously broadcast worldwide via YouTube by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus; Chairman Man-hee Lee), the reaction overseas is also growing.

Pastors who attended the exposition by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which is delivering the prophecies and fulfilment of the entire book of Revelation, have expressed their amazement at this unprecedented word and have shown a tremendous response by signing MOUs. Pastors were shocked to hear the actual word of revelation, which is completely different to the eschatological interpretations of Revelation that pastors have been teaching their church congregations.

Pastors continued to express their praise in part 6 of the “Overseas Pastors' Post-Seminar Interview” video released by Shincheonji Church of Jesus on 3rd December. In particular, Pastor Okello Patrick (South Sudan) was shocked when he first understood the meaning of the parables recorded in the Bible. He learned that the book of Revelation was written in parables, and confessed, “I immediately understood things I did not know about the book of Revelation.”

Pastor Patrick is in charge of Cornerstone Healing Center Church (South Sudan), and has a congregation of about 200 members. He was curious about the parables Jesus speaks of in the Bible, but he did not understand them. Therefore, there was no way of understanding the book of Revelation that is written in parables. However, he came to understand the meaning of the parables through the seminar on the book of Revelation by Shincheonji.

“Through the Revelation seminar, I started to learn new things, and I was able to immediately know things I did not know about the book of Revelation. I came to understand that the book of Revelation is made up of parables, and I wanted to know these parables because Jesus also spoke in parables. If someone wants to know God, one must know the wisdom hidden within a parable.”

Pastor Patrick is learning the meaning of many parables recorded in the Bible through the Revelation seminar that unravels these parables, and said, "For example, in the case of an animal, people have misunderstood and misinterpreted the meaning of this beast". He confessed that through the teaching on the lampstand, lamb, fish, rivers, nets and sea, he has understood a lot.

He also said, “In the Old Testament in Isaiah 9:6, it is written in a parable that a child would be born; yet without correct understanding, you would not know that this child is actually Jesus and you would simply think that this was a mere child.” He said, “Now I understand that this is a parable.”

Pastor Patrick said, “I experienced a lot of change after hearing the Word, and this Word on the Book of Revelation has given me new knowledge, including an understanding of the end times.” He added, "This seminar has been a great blessing. We pray to God that this ministry will continue to grow and to spread.” He emphasised, “I pray that many people will come to know Chairman Man-hee Lee, become the children of God, and become one in the Word.”

Meanwhile, the seminar series 'Testimony on Prophecy and Fulfillment of Revelation, God's New Covenant', has been hosted by Shincheonji Church of Jesus on YouTube since the 18th of October, and is being broadcast in 138 countries, 188 channels and 24 languages, having surpassed 4.6 million views (as of the 2nd December) across 14 seminars. It has received a staggering reaction. On the 18th of October, the first seminar of the series delivered by Chairman Man-hee Lee on Revelation Chapter 1 recorded 650,000 views. Similarly, subsequent seminars on the book of Revelation delivered by the 12 tribes have exceeded 200,000 to 400,000 views each, and viewership is steadily increasing.
