“I grew up in a Christian home, but this is the first time I’ve heard the Book of Revelation explained in this way. I've come to realise that the truth lies in Shincheonji Church.”
This is a testimonial of faith by Willie Brown III (27, male, Washington, D.C.), who is one of the 111,628 graduates of the '110,000 Graduation Ceremony of the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji in 2024' that was held on 30th October.
In short, the 110,000 Graduation means that the 111,628 graduates from 153 countries completed the introductory, intermediate, and advanced courses at the Zion Christian Mission Centre, the Bible education institute of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, and passed the graduation exam.
According to the results of a survey conducted by Shincheonji Church of Jesus on 1485 youth graduates (19-39 years old) of the Zion Christian Mission Centre on the 30th, 1477 people (99.46%) responded positively to the question of whether they felt the lecture content was Bible-based teaching and 1471 people (99.06%) responded that the lectures were helpful in understanding the Bible and forming a proper faith. The number of people who responded that they came to believe that the prophecy of the Book of Revelation had been fulfilled stood at 1461 (98.38%).
After taking the course, 338 people (22.76%) responded that they had a sufficient understanding of the Bible and the Book of Revelation, and 1078 people (72.59%) responded that they understood the overall flow of the Bible but felt that they needed to study more. On the other hand, only 46 people (3.1%) responded that they still had a lack of understanding of the Bible.
Furthermore, among the graduates who responded to the survey, 1433 (96.5%) responded that their life satisfaction improved through the Zion Christian Mission Centre education course, and the percentage of respondents who responded that they would recommend this education course to their acquaintances was very high at 1390 (93.6%).
Jada (27, female), a graduate from Washington, D.C., said, “Through the words of the Chairman, I have come to confirm the fact that Shincheonji is the temple of truth where God and Jesus are,” and “I attended the graduation ceremony held in Korea because I wanted to see the Chairman in person, who saw and heard all the events in the Book of Revelation.”
Bi (42, female) from Thailand said, “More than 10 churches I went to could not explain the meaning of the Bible. After coming to Shincheonji, I was able to perfectly understand everything from Genesis to Revelation.”
The 110,000 Graduation Ceremony is the fourth 100,000-person graduation ceremony held by Shincheonji Church of Jesus despite religious oppression and discrimination. The graduation is also the largest of its kind by any single religious denomination in modern history.
It is expected that Shincheonji Church of Jesus will hold an even larger graduation next year.
