On the 22nd, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Chairman ManHee Lee) held the 'Shincheonji 12 Tribes Bible Seminar' simultaneously in Seoul and major cities across Korea. The seminar was held in response to the request of pastors who attended the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation' series held earlier, from April to June this year, in the cities of Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Incheon, Gwangju, and Daegu. This is the first time since the founding of Shincheonji Church of Jesus that the 12 tribes have held a seminar in multiple cities at the same time.

On the 22nd, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Chairman ManHee Lee) held the 'Shincheonji 12 Tribes Bible Seminar' simultaneously in Seoul and major cities across Korea. The seminar was held in response to the request of the pastors made after attending the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation' series held earlier this year, from April to June, in the cities of Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Incheon, Gwangju, and Daegu.

The format of the current lecture series is 'cross-tribal', meaning that every head of the 12 tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus delivers a lecture at a neighbouring tribe.

On that day, Shincheonji Yeongdeungpo Church, Bartholomew Tribe hosted the Shincheonji 12 Tribes Bible Seminar on the topic of 'Revealing the Fulfilled Reality of Revelation, the New Covenant'. The lecture was delivered by Won-guk Kim, the head of Philip tribe.

Opening the lecture, the Tribe head Kim said, “I hope this time together will provide you with a valuable opportunity to deeply reflect and understand through whom and how the words of the Bible are opened, and perceive the heart and efforts of God throughout God's 6000-year history, and who 'we' are when the Book of Revelation is fulfilled.”

Explaining the creation of Adam, the covenant, and God's will and purpose, Tribe head Kim explained, “God brings an end to the dragon in the Book of Revelation in order to restore what was lost, and promised a world under God's reign.” He explained, “If a new nation, a new people, and 12 tribes are created as promised, God will come to this earth and create a world of paradise where there is no suffering or death. This is the promise of the Bible.”

Then, he continued to explain the book of Revelation on the sub-topic 'Fulfilment of the Old Testament at the First Coming and Fulfilment of the New Covenant Revelation at the Second Coming'.

“Those who keep the words recorded in the Book of Revelation are blessed. One who adds to or subtracts from the Book of Revelation will receive the plagues recorded in the book,” he said. “You must never add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation,” he said forcefully. He also explained the process of delivery of the revelation according to the Book of Revelation, emphasising that “we must know the pastor promised, who delivers the revelation after receiving and eating the opened scroll, and we must understand the revelation through the Bible.”

Shincheonji Yeongdeungpo Church also operated a photo zone, experience booth, and chat café as an open house on the same day before and after the seminar.

On that day, Shincheonji Daejeon Church, Matthias Tribe (Tribe leader Bang-sik Jang) hosted the Shincheonji 12 Tribes Bible Seminar on the topic of 'Revealing the Fulfilled Reality of Revelation, the New Covenant'. The event was attended by 80 pastors, 30 journalists, and 1200 members of the general public on the 4th floor of Shincheonji Daejeon Church. Prior to the event, a beautiful performance was given by a wind orchestra, followed by a passionate time of praise and a screening of a special video related to the last Shincheonji Bible Seminar.

On that day, in Daejeon, Bang-sik Jang, the head of Matthias tribe, presided, and Jeong-woo Lee, the head of Peter tribe, gave the lecture.

First, tribe head Lee emphasised, “God has told us the secret of heaven in the Bible.”

He went on to say, “Through the 6000-year history of the Bible, God has sent shepherds (pastors) and prophets in every era to fulfil God’s will and purpose, and has consistently testified the promise and process of fulfilment. The new thing God promised to create is the 12 tribes of Shincheonji.”

In particular, tribe head Lee said, “Heaven and hell are distinguished according to whether the harvest is successful. We should, therefore, find out in the Bible how one can be harvested and go to heaven.”

He said, “If a believer does not understand the book of Revelation, that person cannot recognise the reality that is to be fulfilled when the book of Revelation is fulfilled as prophesied, and so the book of Revelation is of utmost importance in fulfilling God’s purpose and will.” He continued, “As promised in the New Testament, the Word and its truth is being testified through the shepherd who came, the messenger of Jesus.”

Former Presbyterian Pastor Hyeon-cheol Kim (pseudonym, 64, male) who participated in the seminar said, “Today’s message was so clear and timely. My heart skipped a beat and it was overflowing with grace and emotion. In the future, I will make the revealed theology of Shincheonji known to my loved ones.”

Evangelist Park, who is currently 'learning the Word of Shincheonji' at the Zion Christian Mission Center, said, “I studied theology both in Korea and abroad, but I feel that there is no other place in the world where I can so easily turn back and forth through the pages of the Bible to testify its 66 books.”

Pastor Seong-woo Kim (pseudonym, 65, male), who signed an MOU with Shincheonji last year, said, “I was drawn to the orderly appearance of Shincheonji members, and I am currently receiving evangelism education after completing the introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses.”

An evangelist (58, female) who said that she had learned the Word in Shincheonji after watching “Between Heaven and Earth” on YouTube said, “I usually shared the Word with pastors, principals, and business leaders through zoom, but it wasn't enough. After coming here and learning the Book of Revelation, I'm so happy I can understand the words of Genesis.”

Citizen Gyeong-hee Lee (56, female, Dunsan neighbourhood, Daejeon) said, “I've been a believer for over 30 years, but I've have never had a chance to listen to a sermon on the book of Revelation.”

On this day, on the 3rd floor of Shincheonji Daejeon Church, an event titled 'The Theatre of Life' was held, drawing interest.

At the request of the pastors who attended the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation' held by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Chairman ManHee Lee) in Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Incheon, Gwangju, and Daegu, South Korea, from April to June this year, the 'Shincheonji 12 Tribes Bible Seminar' series is now being held in major cities in Korea on the theme of 'Revealing the Fulfilled Reality of Revelation, the New Covenant'.

To this end, on the 22nd, the Matthew Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus hosted the Shincheonji 12 Tribes Bible Seminar at the Ramada Hotel in Songdo, Incheon at 3:00pm with about 700 pastors, journalists, and the general public in attendance.

The format of the current lecture series is 'cross-tribal', meaning that every head of the 12 tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus delivers a lecture at a neighbouring tribe. Therefore, on that day, Seung-ju Lee, the head of Simon Tribe, stood on the podium and clearly explained the three key mysteries of the book of Revelation as well as the prophecy and fulfilment of the book of Revelation. The lecture was broadcast live in English and Korean through the official YouTube channel of Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

Tribe head Lee began by saying that the kingdom of God was stolen by the serpent and went on to explain the tragic story of God, saying, “God's purpose is to create God's kingdom and rule over it again; that is, to restore it.” He explained the background of the creation of the 12 tribes, saying, “The people born of God's seed are harvested and the 12 tribes are created to create the kingdom of God.”

“In Matthew 13, Jesus sowed the seed of God, but it is also said that the seed of weeds would be sown. At the Second Coming of Jesus, the Bible promises that Jesus will bring his angels to harvest and gather the wheat-like believers, as is recorded in Matthew 24:31.” Explaining the current reality of the Christian world, he said, “You don't go to heaven just by going to church.”

He said, “The Second Coming is the time of harvest and the end time. In the Church of Jesus (Christianity), there are wheat and weeds (superficial believers). Jesus said that he would gather the wheat and bring it into the barn and tie the weeds in bundles to be burnt in the fire.” He also emphasised the importance of one's 'belonging', saying, “One has to check if one has been harvested (according to the Bible).”

In particular, tribe head Lee emphasised the need to listen to the testimony from the one person who has seen and heard all the events of Revelation according to Revelation 22.

Journalist A, who believes in the Catholic faith, said, “For the first time, I learned about the actual story of the Book of Revelation, which is rarely touched on and about which I knew nothing. Catholics also deal much with the Old and New Testaments, but I've never heard anything about the book of Revelation.” He continued, “The fact that believers are gathering is evidence that the true church is growing. Shincheonji is convinced that the existing cult-framing instituted against it will soon shatter.”

Mr. B, an everyday person who attended the Shincheonji Bible Seminar through the introduction of a friend, said, “I've been a believer at the Holiness Church for five years, but what I find amazing is how clearly the word can be explained here.”

An official of Shincheonji Church of Jesus stated, “We expect this seminar series to serve as an opportunity for the attendees to understand why they need to know the book of Revelation, which is Jesus’ promise, and study at the Zion Christian Mission Center in order to understand this and enter the kingdom of heaven together.”

Meanwhile, there were 460,000 online and offline attendees at the Shincheonji Bible Seminar held from April to June this year. Among them, the number of pastors stood at 54,000. As of the end of June, the number of YouTube views of the Shincheonji Bible Seminar exceeded 14 million.
