These are the words of Pastor K (male, 50s) of the Presbyterian Church of Korea, who attended the '2024 Shincheonji Bible's Seminar Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation' conference held at the Masan Church (Busan James Tribe) of Shincheonji Church of Jesus on the 25th September.

This Shincheonji Bible Seminar, which concluded in Ulsan and Busan in January, was held following an outpouring of requests from pastors and believers for additional conferences.

On that day, about 100 pastors and 16,000 believers from major neighbouring cities including Masan, Busan and Daegu attended the Bible conference, where Chairman ManHee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus testified the prophecy and fulfilled reality of the Book of Revelation that he has witnessed firsthand.

This year alone, Chairman Lee has visited over 40 churches in South Korea to listen to the voices of the faithful and create a better religious environment for them, despite being well over 90 years of age. Moreover, whenever the Chairman visits a church on Sundays and Wednesdays, he stands on the pulpit to testify the Word of God with conviction, centred on the Book of Revelation, preaching powerfully for about an hour.

In a church hall packed with Shincheonji believers who had gathered from all over the region early on, and to the visiting pastors of the established churches who were attending a Shincheonji Church of Jesus service for the first time, Chairman Lee testified the fulfilment of the entire Book of Revelation without even looking at the Bible once. 

Chairman Lee emphasised, “Pastors and all believers in God must not forget the words that if you add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation, you will not be able to enter heaven and will be cursed.” 

He continued, “The reason we worship and believe today is to enter heaven. In order to become a person of perfect faith before God, we must believe according to the Bible.”

He also said, “Only one pastor who has received and eaten the open book from chapters 1 to 22 of Revelation today can testify to the reality of the Book of Revelation.”

Chairman Lee added, “Jesus said that no one can enter the kingdom of heaven unless they become like a child.” He added, “Instead of calling Shincheonji a cult or a heresy, the right attitude should be to first find out what it is testifying to that has led to such rapid growth.”

Finally, Chairman Lee emphasised, “I must ask myself who this Bible says I am, and whether I have truly kept the promises of the New Testament” and “Those who understand and master the Bible will be able to recognise when God’s prophecy is fulfilled and the reality is revealed.”

A Shincheonji church official said, “Some pastors who attend the Shincheonji Bible Seminar for the first time may not be able to accept the sermon of the Chairman, but it is encouraging that they continue to listen and gradually receive grace.”

The pastors listened to the sermon by the Chairman for an hour, sometimes smiling and sometimes with serious expressions. Among the pastors, there are quite a few who have experienced spiritual growth through regular interactions with Shincheonji Church of Jesus every year. One pastor said, “At first, I thought Shincheonji was a cult, but when I actually saw it, it wasn’t like that at all. Especially when I saw the graduation ceremony and other things, I was surprised at how organised and systematic it was. I even talked to my fellow pastors about how I needed to learn from this.”

As Shincheonji Church of Jesus prepares to hold its fourth 100,000 graduation ceremony of over 110,000 people this year, it is evident that the reason why people are flocking in droves is because of the excellence of the biblical teachings, delivered in a logical manner according to the 5W1H principle (who, what, where, when, why and how).
