Shincheonji Church of Jesus Holds World's First 110,000 Graduation Ceremony

 

Shincheonji Church of Jesus held the world's first 110,000 Graduation Ceremony on October 30th. This marks the fourth 100,000 graduation ceremony of Shincheonji Church of Jesus held within the last five years. A staggering 111,628 graduates took part in yesterday's celebration, making it the largest graduation by any single religious denomination in modern history.

In short, the 100,000 graduation ceremony means more than 100,000 students studied Shincheonji Church’s Bible course this year. These dedicated individuals have mastered the profound truths of the Bible through an 8-9 month programme that spans the entire 66 books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation inclusive. Achieving scores of over 90% on their final exams showcases their hard work and commitment to understanding God’s word.

This year, many graduates from outside of Korea visited Korea to participate in the event.

Celebrating their graduation, Chairman ManHee Lee of Shincheonji Church gave them warm advice in his congratulatory message.

Chairman Lee started the address by mentioning how God’s holy world turned into a sinful world during the era of Adam. God has been working to recover the world for 6000 years.

Explaining that, Chairman Lee also mentioned the tree of life that bears twelve crops of fruit every month, whose leaves heal all nations. Finally, after 6000 years, the tree of life re-appears in Rev 22. He explained that the tree of life is a parable which refers to an organisation of people. God hid this secret from Satan to protect and prevent it from being stolen by the opposer. Chairman Lee explained, “You are the reality of it. You are very precious trees.”

He then explained God’s plan of recovering the world. Jesus came and sowed God’s seed, then came back to harvest the ripened crops. Then, the crops are sealed and registered to the twelve tribes. This is how God’s kingdom of heaven on earth is made, God’s deepest wish – to live with people on earth. Explaining this, Chairman Lee emphasised the importance of fulfilment by saying, “As Rev 22:18-19 says, if you add or take away from Revelation, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and will be cursed. If you’re a Christian, you must pay attention to this word. How many people who haven't added to or taken away from Revelation exist in Christianity? You must not ignore God’s word.” He then explained why Revelation shouldn’t be added to or taken away from the scripture. It’s because the prophecy is being fulfilled exactly according to what the scripture records, like how a stamp and the stamped shape are alike.

Chairman Lee explained more about the promised twelve tribes, “Revelation was recorded for the sealed twelve tribes. (…) You can’t break the scripture (Jn 10:35) and you can’t add or take away from the scripture (Rev 22:18-19). Who is God? He is the creator of the world. God has worked for the twelve tribes for 6000 years. Thanking God, we must become confident believers. Since we have received the word as a free gift, we must deliver it as a free gift (Rev 22:17).”

Chairman ManHee Lee also confidently declared, “There’s no other place that masters Revelation aside from Shincheonji Church!” He explained the reason. Shincheonji Church masters Revelation because there is a person who ate the scroll (Rev 10) and saw and heard all the events of Revelation (Rev 22:8).

Explaining God’s plan to recover the world, Chairman Lee also mentioned Rev 6 and Rev 7. It’s about ending the era before Jesus’ Second Coming (Rev 6) and establishing a new era, the twelve tribes (Rev 7). According to Rev 7, 14, and 15, God and God’s throne are with the twelve tribes. He said, “Where God is, the truth is.”

Graduates were touched by the Chairman’s congratulatory message, giving applause and answering with loud Amens.

The congratulatory performance, which is one of the most anticipated parts of Shincheonji Church’s graduation ceremony, was given by Shincheonji Church members in the form of a Korean traditional drum performance. It was powerful and majestic!
