◆ The Dawn of a New Era in Inter-Denominational Cooperation
On 11th April 2026, a historic gathering unfolded at the Shincheonji Matthew Tribe in Incheon. In a tremendous show of unity, 600 people, including dozens of pastors and religious leaders from various denominations, congregated for the "2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation." This event was not merely a theological lecture; it served as a pivotal platform for religious leaders to transcend traditional boundaries and seek a profound, scripture-based alignment.

◆ Chairman ManHee Lee’s Call for Sincere Faith
The seminar featured Chairman ManHee Lee as the main lecturer, who delivered a powerful discourse on the prophecies and physical fulfilments recorded in the Book of Revelation. Addressing the assembled clergy, Chairman Lee emphasised the necessity of self-reflection and spiritual renewal.
“The Word of God should not be believed blindly, but verified and validated based on the Bible,” Chairman Lee stated. “In order to correctly understand the will of God and Jesus, one must be able to judge the truth for oneself.”
He emphasised, “The Book of Revelation is not merely a record or a symbol, but a prophecy that will surely be fulfilled,” adding, “When it is fulfilled, the tangible entities mentioned within it—such as the seven churches, the seven heads, and the twelve tribes—will certainly appear.”
Using the analogy of Jesus Christ who appeared according to the prophecies of the Old Testament, Chairman Lee maintained that the same principle applies to the recorded prophecies of the New Testament. That is to say, when these prophecies are fulfilled, there is a reality that can testify to the fulfilment of these prophecies. And Shincheonji Church of Jesus can testify to these realities, Chairman Lee said.
Chairman Lee also presented specific interpretations of the symbolic language that appear in the Book of Revelation. In particular, he explained the meaning of the darkening and fall of the sun, moon, and stars to the earth in chapter 6, which refers not to a literal apocalyptic event but is metaphorical for “a change in the spiritual world of faith.”
He pointed out, “Misunderstandings and conflicts have arisen because people do not properly understand the meaning of the Bible, even though they believe in it.”
Chairman Lee urged the pastors to remain humble before the Word of God. Citing Revelation 22:18-19, he urged pastors to make every effort “not to add to or subtract from the word of the Bible, and keep it exactly as it is as a condition for salvation”—a plea to religious leaders to reflect not only on their own spiritual state, but also on the needs of their congregations.
Chairman Lee concluded the lecture by further extending an invitation for open dialogue, urging pastors to engage in biblical discussions, ultimately striving for oneness under God's sovereignty.
A pastor who attended the event and had previously encountered the word of Shincheonji Church of Jesus drew the attention of the attendees by stressing, “The biggest change was realising that the Book of Revelation is not merely an epistle, but a prophecy that has already been fulfilled.”
◆ A Continuing Journey of Truth
Shincheonji Church of Jesus expressed its commitment to fostering an environment where spiritual growth and mutual respect can flourish. This Incheon seminar is part of a broader national tour that began in Gwangju earlier this year and extended to Seoul and Busan, signalling a sustained momentum in sharing the "Revealed Word." As the religious landscape continues to evolve, the increasing participation of established clergy in these seminars suggests that the quest for biblical truth is overriding long-standing sectarian divides.
