On Sunday, September 29th, believers from the New Heaven New Earth Church (Shincheonji) visited churches in Prague. Members of the New Heaven New Earth Church came to the churches with prayers, words of blessing, and a question about how the book of Revelation is being fulfilled today.

Each visit to the church brought new reactions. During the interviews, the believers of New Heaven New Earth encountered various reactions, from the curious and positive to the negative, when some of the pastors or believers strictly defined themselves towards them, refusing any conversation or joint prayer.

The Revelation of John opens to the whole world

There is a growing interest in understanding the book of Revelation and Bible study worldwide. In the past five years, more than 300,000 people have completed this study . The study, which is divided into three levels according to advanced level, is of interest to Christians, people of no faith, and pastors. Pastors in particular share the gratitude for understanding Revelation, thanks to which the faith life of believers in their church is also developing .

“Let all churches unite through the word of Revelation,” said the Shincheonji chairman at one of the Bible seminars attended by believers, pastors, and media. In September 2024, the chairman held at least 4 large Word seminars attended by tens of thousands of New Heaven New Earth believers and hundreds of pastors.

“Faith must be based on the Bible. We must know the true meaning of the Word and we must be created according to the Word,” the chairman said to the pastors. He continued, “We are people of faith who believe in God, Jesus, and the Bible. We are one spiritual family, so let us love one another. Let us love one another.”

As the churches were visited, the New Heaven, New Earth members repeated that they loved the pastors and believers of the churches they visited and asked if they loved them back. As a proof of their love, they informed them that God was now fulfilling the great work recorded in Revelation. And they invited them to meet and discuss the Bible.

"We will not discuss with you, go away. We do not want you here. Nobody take anything from them, no leaflets!" With these words, the Czech literary historian and critic loudly responded to the greeting and arrival of the believers of the New Heaven, New Earth to the church.

The next visit to the church took place in a calm spirit, but also with a negative response: "Please respect our interest and please leave. We kindly ask you to leave."

Over the past year, more than 50 pastors from various denominations have signed up for the Bible study offered by the New Heaven and New Earth Church in the Czech Republic. This is the largest interdenominational institute for pastor training in the Czech Republic. During the study, they can personally verify the prophecy and fulfilment of Revelation and come to their own judgment about the church's teachings.

Just as Jesus spoke to every person without distinction, so too, following the example of Jesus, the members of the New Heaven and New Earth visit everyone and openly discuss, whether with Christians, people of other faiths or non-believers. That is why many people who were originally non-believers come to the church, and the barriers that people have built between themselves within Christianity or outside it can be demolished with God's help.

For example, Protestant denomination pastor Hwang Mo, who attended the Bible Seminar in South Korea, shared, “Currently, 70% of churches in Korea do not have Sunday schools. When we look at the Shincheonji Church, we can see unparalleled growth in the passing Protestant world. I too see possibilities and hope when I study the word of Revelation.”

Another pastor from the Presbyterian Church, Mr. Choi Mo, said, “When I listened to the chairman’s words, my mind filled with questions turned into exclamations because the prophetic books were so difficult. I want to learn more and hope that more pastors will have the same experience of renewed passion as I did.”

At a time when, according to statistics, people are increasingly leaving churches, there are those who are interested in where Christianity originated and its significance today. Christianity originated in the first century AD in the Roman province of Judea, today's Israel and Palestine. Thanks to the efforts of the apostles, martyrs and believers, Christianity began to spread throughout the world. Thanks to the Bible, people can not only build faith and transform their lives, but they can also verify the fulfilment of God's work, which God foretold that He would do.

The entire Christian world is waiting for the fulfilment of God's promise recorded in the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation. The New Heaven New Earth Church testifies to the events that have occurred in our time according to the prophecies of this book. Every year, thousands of people around the world learn about the Book of Revelation. Everyone has the opportunity to verify whether the testimony of the fulfilment of Revelation, which the church testifies to, is true and become someone who will act on this knowledge.
