On the 22nd July, about 500 people, including pastors, attended the Shincheonji 12 Tribes Bible Seminar held at the Wedding Vienna Convention Hall in Dalseo district, Daegu.

This seminar was held in response to the request of pastors who had attended the 'Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation' series held from April to June this year in major cities in Korea. The most recent seminar series by the 12 tribes of Shincheonji Church of Jesus was held simultaneously in 12 regions across Korea and was the first of its kind in Shincheonji. It was conducted as a crossover lecture, meaning that every head of the 12 tribes of Shincheonji delivered a lecture at a neighbouring tribe.

To this end, Jung-hwan Lim, leader of the Busan James tribe of Shincheonji, testified the three key secrets recorded within the Book of Revelation and the prophecies and fulfilment of the entire book of Revelation under the theme of 'Revealing the Fulfilled Reality of Revelation, the New Covenant'.

Tribe leader Lim said, “I went to church on my mother’s back as far back as I could remember, and my mother first learned the Word when I was in the 6th year of primary school. I saw and experienced many things in Shincheonji, and I grew up in Shincheonji from a young age, went to the military, went to college, and got married.”

“The reason why Shincheonji is growing rapidly is because it is where God, Jesus, and the angels are, and where the 12 tribes are located.” He explained, “It is Jesus and his angels who fulfil the Book of Revelation in the New Testament.” He also emphasised, “I want you to remember that Shincheonji has fought and overcome.”

Mi-young Kim (pseudonym, 48, female), who attended the seminar through a friend, said, “I came because a friend recommended it. I was hesitant at first, but it went well.”

She continued, “I plan to study the Bible to see if what they teach in Shincheonji is really true. If it is, I will tell my friends about it. Why go to a seminary and pay money to study the Book of Revelation, when I can study the Word for free?”

Meanwhile, there were 460,000 online and offline attendees at the Shincheonji Bible Seminar held earlier this year. Among them, the number of pastors stood at 54,000. As of the end of June, the number of YouTube views of the Shincheonji Bible Seminar exceeded 14 million.
