“We are believers, so it is right we practise our faith according to the Bible.”
This is a special request made by ManHee Lee, Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus), to an audience of 450 domestic believers, including 250 pastors, at the Bible Seminar for Pastors held at the Shincheonji Peace Training Institute in Gapyeong Province, South Korea, on the 8th June.
Chairman Lee spoke in depth and with conviction, for nearly 90 minutes, about the prophecies and fulfilled realities of the events recorded in the Book of Revelation that he has witnessed firsthand.
Chairman Lee urged attendee pastors, who believe in the same God and the same Bible, not to fight but to resolve misunderstandings through dialogue. In addition, Chairman Lee repeatedly emphasised the Bible's message that one should not add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation, and emphasised that pastors should first understand this word in order to teach it to congregation members.
The main reason why Chairman Lee continues to give lectures in person both domestically and overseas, despite being well over 90 years of age, is “out of hope that the people of the world will understand the fulfilled words of Revelation and reach heaven.” Chairman Lee has always maintained that his duty is to inform all churches of the fulfilled realities of the Book of Revelation received from God and Jesus.
Many of the pastors who attended that day were veteran pastors in their 50s and 60s, and even in their 80s. These are people who have been preaching from the Bible for decades. Yet, the reason why Chairman Lee's lecture was well received was because it quenched the unresolved thirst for 'faith' and 'theology'. The pastors who heard and confirmed the reality as well as the unresolved secrets (mysteries) and true meaning of the Book of Revelation agreed that they should spread the Gospel of Shincheonji.
As the number of church members who acknowledge the words of Shincheonji Church of Jesus continues to increase, many pastors from various denominations attended this Shincheonji Bible Seminar and personally confirmed the Word that comes from Shincheonji Church of Jesus. The majority of pastors made their ‘first visit’ to Shincheonji Church of Jesus. They listened to the lecture until the end and showed great interest in the Book of Revelation.
Presbyterian pastor Park in his 70s, who attended the Shincheonji Bible Seminar for the first time, said, “Attending the seminar made me feel at ease and gave me an opportunity to think about how important the words of Revelation are.”
A Presbyterian pastor in his 70s said, “It is true that only when pastors hear these words (testimony of the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation) can there be salvation” and, “I think we should promote it to large newspapers to make it widely known.”
Pastors in attendance praised Chairman Lee's character. Pastor Kim, in his 60s at the Presbyterian Church, said, “I felt that his words did not sound like any doctrine, but were very Biblical,” “What impressed me most was that in order to understand the Book of Revelation, there must be a reality” and, “If given the opportunity, I would like to attend the next event.”

Pastor Hwang, who is in his 80s at a non-denominational church, said, “Incredibly, Chairman Lee relayed the words so well from beginning to end without even reading the Bible, and I felt like, ‘This is truly a man sent from heaven.’”
Presbyterian pastor Kim, in his 50s, confessed, “I was surprised to hear of the fulfilled realities of the Book of Revelation and Chairman Lee meeting with world leaders” and, “I felt like I have to master the Book of Revelation.”
Chairman Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus is currently holding rallies not only within Korea, but also in countries worldwide. Indeed, the first Global Pastors' Conference held in Asia earlier this year will be followed by the second Global Pastors' Conference entitled 'Europe Revival: Testimony on the Fulfillment of Jesus' Words in Revelation', to be held today to an expected audience of thousands of pastors. Chairman Lee will again deliver the fulfilled realities of Revelation that he has witnessed firsthand.
