One congregant who visited Shincheonji Gwangmyeong Church for Sunday service and took part in the activity, said, “I feel so happy because I chose my favourite Bible verse,” and “I will use this Bible verse to strengthen my faith throughout the year.”

Meanwhile, this activity was carried out in line with the the slogan of this year, “The Year of Love and Blessings,” of Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

South Korea is no stranger to major forest fires, which can result in damage to the soil of the earth that requires more than 100 years for it to recover to its original level.

To this end, the Eastern Seoul Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group (hereinafter referred to as the Eastern Seoul Branch) has been actively working to raise awareness of the causes and effects of forest fire and the need for prevention by holding various forest fire campaigns in areas prone to forest fires.

On the 26th, the Eastern Seoul Branch launched the 'Green Nature' forest fire prevention campaign at the entrance of the Suraksan Mountain hiking trail in Nowon District.

In this campaign, the Eastern Seoul Branch focused on raising citizens’ awareness of forest fire prevention through forest fire common sense quiz, guidance on the ecosystem recovery period in forest fire-stricken areas, promotion of forest fire prevention rules, activities to prohibit possession of flammable materials, and more.

In the words of an official from the Eastern Seoul Branch, “Once a forest fire breaks out, it can cause massive damage to nature and loss of life. It is important for everyone to be alert and take action so that a little carelessness does not lead to a major disaster.”

This activity was carried out as part of Shincheonji Volunteer Group's nationwide 'Green Nature' campaign, which aims to preserve a beautiful and clean natural environment for posterity.

On the 23rd, the joy of the gospel announcing a new beginning resounded from Haenam, the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula.

Haenam symbolises both an end and a beginning. Many embark on a pilgrimage across Korea, beginning or concluding their journey at Haenam. It also has symbolic spiritual meaning as it is a location that many people align with the words of Matthew 24:14: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

The Bible frequently references the 'ends of the earth' and the 'east' as places where God's work begins, making this dedication all the more significant.

Chairman ManHee Lee attended the dedication, emphasising that just as Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled at Jesus’ first coming, the prophecies of Revelation are now being fulfilled. He urged believers to recognize the fulfilment of God’s Word and testify to the truth. He also reminded the congregation that true faith is not based on human thoughts but on God's promises, which are now coming to fruition.

Chairman Lee further stressed the importance of understanding and keeping God’s Word exactly as written, without adding or subtracting from it, as warned in Revelation 22:18-19. He encouraged believers to become true witnesses of the Word by seeing its fulfilment firsthand and living according to God’s teachings. He emphasised that today’s faith must align with the reality of God’s work, urging members to commit themselves fully to spreading the gospel and building God’s kingdom on earth.

The event was filled with joy as believers reaffirmed their mission, pledging to bring God’s Word to all people, fulfilling the task of evangelising to the ends of the earth.

The dedication was more than just a ceremony - it was a festival of faith. Believers gathered from near and far, sharing in the joy of witnessing God’s work. Hymns of praise filled the air, and many were moved to tears as they reflected on the significance of this moment. With hands raised in worship and hearts united in faith, attendees expressed gratitude for the continued expansion of God's kingdom.

Meanwhile, Shincheonji’s rapid global expansion demonstrates the fulfilment of God’s work. With pastors and believers worldwide embracing the revealed gospel, the dedication of Haenam Church marks another step toward spreading the truth to all nations. As God’s promises unfold, Shincheonji remains committed to leading people into His kingdom. This dedication serves as a reminder that the mission is far from over - there are still countless souls waiting to hear the truth, and Shincheonji will continue to work without rest until the gospel has reached every corner of the earth.

Following a special musical performance that searched for a world of peace and a promotional video exhibiting the explosive growth of Shincheonji in light of the recent graduation ceremonies that consecutively produced over 100,000 graduates in recent years, the attendees' hearts were opened to the Word. 

Han-soo Kim, head lecturer at Ulsan Church, explained the historical background of the introduction of Catholicism and Protestantism into Korea. He also asked the attendees about the eschatology of the rapture and Jesus' return on clouds, and whether the serpent in Genesis was a real serpent, and urged to distinguish the eras. He said, “In the past, people went to church to get healed, experience miracles and receive grace. We need to think deeply about the reasons why young people today are leaving the established churches.”

Next, he cited Ecclesiastes 3:1, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens,” and emphasised, “The Book of Revelation, the last prophetic book in the Bible, has been fulfilled in its time, and Shincheonji is bearing witness to the Book of Revelation without ceasing.” He also emphasised the importance of practising one's faith based on the times. 

Following the seminar, a consultation booth was set up where people could ask questions about the lecture content or Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

The main lecture was given by the leader of the Seoul James tribe, Young-joo Yoo, to an audience of roughly 200 people including pastors, social figures, and local residents.

In his lecture, lecturer Yoo introduced the church by saying, “Shincheonji Church of Jesus is the kingdom of God where God’s promise recorded in the Bible has been fulfilled,” and “Shincheonji Church of Jesus is a church that preaches not only the word but also the reality that has been fulfilled.”

Lecturer Yoo also explained God's promise and the process of fulfilment of that promise based on the history of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and emphasised that “if God's promise remained just a promise, it would have been worthless,” and that “since God always keeps His promises, it is important to know the reality of the fulfilment.”

Meanwhile, the Seoul James tribe of Shincheonji Church of Jesus is entrusted with the care and growth of five regions in Korea, and has 20 overseas churches in the Asian continent.

Regarding the beast with seven heads and ten horns, the John tribe leader gave an explanation of its meaning, saying, “The beast in prophecy is one who does not understand the word of God,” and “The beast with seven heads and ten horns symbolises the seven pastors and ten elders belonging to Satan.”

He continued, “The beast with seven heads and ten horns is the pastor of the devil, so the final result is that he will be thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulphur.” He added, “It is important to join Jesus’ group. We must believe and follow the word so that we can join the group of the Saviour.”

The tribe leader also expounded on the prostitute of Revelation 17, who has a name written on her forehead, which is ‘Babylon the Great.’ He reiterated the importance of knowing the outcome of these entities in order to clearly distinguish where God is and where the devil is.
