"New Wine for a New Era": 3200 Gather in Daejeon to Find the Essence of Faith
The Heat Intensifies: A Full House in Daejeon
The momentum of the "2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar" tour has reached a boiling point. On 6th May, the Daejeon Church of the Matthias Tribe was packed with 3264 attendees, including 212 pastors from various denominations. The 1500-seat main hall was overflowing, forcing many to participate from designated overflow areas—a testament to the growing hunger for biblical clarity in the region.
The Confession of a 30-Year Veteran
One of the most moving aspects of the Daejeon seminar was the presence of seasoned clergy. A pastor from the Presbyterian Church, with over 30 years of ministry experience, shared a candid reflection:
“I've been in ministry for over three decades, yet I had no way of truly understanding Revelation,” he admitted. “With churches facing a crisis of declining numbers and a lack of 'the Word,' I came here to finally learn.”
Chairman Lee: "Abandon the Old, Embrace the New"
Chairman ManHee Lee’s lecture focused on the concept of "Physical Fulfilment." He pointed out that most churches fail to interpret Revelation because they treat it as abstract symbolism rather than a record of actual events.
- The Core Problem: He identified the lack of teaching on Revelation as the primary issue within the Korean church today.
- The Solution: To teach correctly, one must recognise the three main entities of Revelation: the Betrayer, the Destroyer, and the Saviour.
- The Call to Repentance: Drawing a parallel to the era of Jesus’ first coming, he urged leaders not to let their own judgments block the Word. “Empty your old thoughts and fill yourselves with the new,” he exhorted.
A Symbolic Gesture of Reconciliation
The seminar reached a symbolic climax when two Presbyterian pastors took to the stage to present Chairman Lee with bouquets of flowers. This wasn't just a courtesy; it was described by attendees as a "scene of reconciliation," signalling a new beginning between denominations.
One of these pastors, who had studied both Full Gospel and Presbyterian theology, shared: “Shincheonji is the only place that systematically testifies to the fulfilment of Revelation. Pastors must break their pride and 'title-consciousness' to receive this life-giving Word.”

Beyond Hostility to Cooperation
The Daejeon seminar proved that when the "essence of the Word" is presented, prejudice melts away. With the Matthias Tribe already hosting regular "Mastery Seminars" for local clergy, Daejeon is becoming a hub for a new spiritual reformation—one where "New Wine" is finally being poured into prepared hearts.
