“Today’s spiritual blind are those who do not know the prophecies of the New Testament and therefore do not recognise the second coming of Jesus...Hearing and understanding the testimony of the one whom Jesus sent to the churches (Revelation 22:8, 16) is like the blind opening their eyes.”
On the 12th, the Sejong Church of the Matthias Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (hereafter referred to as Shincheonji Sejong Church) held its first Bible Seminar of the New Year, and the leader of the Matthias tribe spoke these words assertively.
The Bible Seminar, held on the theme of 'The Blind Who Open Their Eyes to Find Heaven,' was attended by pastors and believers and provided deep insight by revealing the meaning of blindness in the Bible, focusing on the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation.

In his lecture, the leader of the Matthias Tribe emphasised the spiritual meaning of the story of the blind man in John 9 by explaining it through the Bible.
Quoting John 9:1-3, he explained that this was a lesson about spiritual blindness, not physical blindness. He emphasised through John 9:39-41 that “Jesus’ judgment is that those who do not see will see, and those who see will become blind,” and that this means that he is trying to give enlightenment to those who are spiritually blind, like the believers at the first coming who did not recognise Jesus.
Introducing Isaiah 35:4-5, he explained, “Opening the eyes of the blind is a symbolic expression of God’s work.” Then, turning back to John 9, he explained the scene where Jesus put mud on the eyes of a blind man and told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam, saying, “The mud symbolises the history of creation where man was made from clay, and the Pool of Siloam symbolises the one sent by God, that is, Jesus.”
The tribe leader emphasised the importance of not adding to or subtracting from the Book of Revelation, so as not to miss the opportunity to attain the blessing of heaven, and stressed, “in order to understand the history of the Second Coming, it is essential to study the words of the Book of Revelation correctly.”
A pastor who attended the seminar said, “I have visited many churches to learn about the Book of Revelation, but I could not find a place that taught it properly.” Referring to the story of the blind man in John 9, he said, “I realised that I was spiritually blind and that I was adding to or taking away from the words of the Book of Revelation.” The pastor delivered a heartfelt message to his fellow pastors, saying, “How can a pastor who has not properly studied the Book of Revelation lead the congregation to the right path?”
He continued, “I hope that the pastors and believers who are present here today will open their hearts and confirm the words.”
Meanwhile, the Matthias Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus plans to continue holding Bible seminars in the region, including Asan and Nonsan.
