“A biblical interpretation that gives hope”
“We will also promote the revealed Word from Shincheonji to the churches”
This is the confession of faith made by pastors who attended the '2024 Shincheonji Daegu Bible Convention' hosted by the Thaddeus Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus on 20th October in Daegu, Republic of Korea. The Bible Convention was attended by 10,000 people, including 50 pastors.
Daegu, which has been called the 'Jerusalem' of Korea since the Japanese colonial period, has been active in missionary work and has a strong conservative Protestant presence, but the outlook for the religious community is not very bright, due in no small part to de-religionisation within Korean society.
The main lecture, delivered by the leader of the Thaddeus Tribe, explained the overall history of the Bible under the topic of “Testimony on the Fulfilment of Revelation.” The tribe leader said, “The Book of Revelation is a promise that completes God’s purpose, so believers should never overlook it,” and explained the need to understand and confirm the word of the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation.
He continued, “As seen in Chapter 1 of Revelation, the Book of Revelation is the word that Jesus gave with love for believers while bearing the cross,” and added, “I hope that everyone from pastors to believers will learn and understand the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and their fulfilment with joy and be blessed.”
Pastors and believers in attendance responded with honest confessions.
Pastor Gung-bon Koo, who has served as pastor for six years under the Presbyterian Church of Korea, said, “I reflected on how I've taught the congregation based off of my own feelings and didactic words until now. This time, I was able to hear the teaching based on the Bible rather than my feelings or personal interpretation, and it was a time of hope.” He continued, “I will cooperate with Shincheonji Church of Jesus and promote this word to other churches.”
Meanwhile, the Thaddeus Tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus has signed MOUs with approximately 400 overseas churches and 34 domestic churches for the mutual growth of the Church.
