Additional seminars, conferences and acts of service…working non-stop year round

With less than one month left this year, the religious community has been heating up domestically. Religious officials have pointed to the activities of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of The Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shincheonji Church of Jesus) with its various volunteer activities, seminars and graduation ceremony in the last year. Shincheonji Church of Jesus was founded in 1984 and is an abbreviation of “Shin-cheon-Shin-ji”, the Chinese characters for “New Heaven New Earth” that is promised to appear in the Bible. It is making a breakthrough by systematically teaching the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation through prophecy and fulfilment. Furthermore, to enter the church, students must pass an examination after completing a free six-month Bible study course at the Zion Mission Center. This year, the number of new congregation members will exceed 300,000. This article highlights Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ achievements over the past year and the Bible-centred faith it promotes.

After the six-month Zion Mission Center course, which is Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ free Bible teaching institution, students can be officially registered into the church as new congregation members. The ‘100,000 Graduation Ceremony’ - 103,764 people officially registered to be exact - has made evangelistic history.

Religious officials are identifying fundamental differences between the established denominations and Shincheonji Church of Jesus. To enter Shincheonji Church of Jesus, one must complete their six-month Bible study course at Zion Mission Center, and pass a subsequent exam. During this period, teaching is divided into basic, intermediate and advanced level courses that cover Genesis to Revelation. Students must score above 90% in their exam to complete the course. Content focuses on proving fulfilment of prophecy in the Bible, unlike the Biblical teachings of established denominations which rather focus on history and instruction. Rather than passively preaching a life of faith, congregation members are trained to teach the Gospel through study of the Word.

A spokesperson for Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, “In addition to these graduates, there are more than 200,000 people currently studying the Bible here. We will continue to preach the living God through His word, transcending ethnicity, culture and religion.”

■The Word that Chairman Man Hee Lee teaches speaks for itself. The Bible's keyword is ‘harvest’

Man Hee Lee, Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, regularly preaches the Bible to congregation members from the pulpit. However, this was extended to pastors outside as Chairman Lee delivered a seminar at Gapyeong Peace Institute on 7th December 2019 to wrap up this great tour preaching the Gospel.

Earlier, in October and November, Chairman Lee delivered lectures at the ‘Open Bible Seminar on the Second Coming and Harvest’ in seven major cities nationwide. The Open Bible Seminar, which opened in Seoul at the Grand InterContinental Parnas Hotel on October 4^th, continued on to Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan and Gwangju, with an additional seminar in Jeju last month.

At the first Open Bible Seminar in Seoul, the chairman delivered a lecture on the theme ‘The New Work of Creation: Who am I in the Bible?’ Chairman Lee explained that, according to the New Testament, today is the time when the book of Revelation is being fulfilled and Jesus does the work of harvest through angels. He said, "The traditional church teaches that weeds are people who do not believe in Jesus, but people who do not believe in Jesus are just an empty field where the seed of the Word has not been sown. As the book of Revelation is being fulfilled, there is separation between those who are harvested and those who are not. Today, one must be harvested, sealed, and belong to the 12 tribes to be recognised as a child of God. You have to make sure you are created according to the Bible.”

■The sincerity of the Chairman and Shincheonji Church of Jesus. Obedience to Scripture Comes First

The 'Open Bible Seminar on the Second Coming and Harvest' ended in Jeju Island on 19th November. Seminars were then held at 72 branch churches nationwide where all 12 tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus were directly instructed to testify the fulfilment of the book of Revelation.

An official of Shincheonji Church of Jesus said, “We are focusing on preaching the Word of God faithfully as we usher in an era of one million graduates.”
