15th May is Teachers' Day in South Korea, a day established to honour and express appreciation for educators across the country. Within the religious community, one church gave homage to its true teacher: Heaven.
On Sunday 17th May, the Shincheonji Matthias Tribe Cheongju Church held a 'Year 43 Teachers' Day Thanksgiving Service' in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, Republic of Korea.
The service was attended by Chairman ManHee Lee and the twelve tribe leaders, as well as roughly 1000 believers from the 12 tribes across the country, with thousands more joining the service via live stream from their respective churches.
Chairman ManHee Lee, who delivered a sermon lasting nearly 90 minutes, marked Teachers' Day by expounding on the kingdom of heaven as the "True Teacher" by citing scriptures from Genesis to Revelation.
Chairman Lee began the sermon by citing the words of Matthew 6, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” and explained, “When we think of a teacher, we first think of heaven. This is because although all of biblical history took place on this earth, its beginning originated in heaven.” He added, “The prophets and apostles who conveyed God's will on this earth alongside the spirits of heaven are also our teachers today.”
Chairman Lee emphasised that today is the time of the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation and that we must reflect on the 6000-year history of the Bible, which began in the time of Adam. He emphasised that the one book we must read and observe is the Book of Revelation, which we are told not to add to or subtract from. Chapter 21 of Revelation records that God is coming to this earth bringing the Kingdom of Heaven. The message is that we must understand the contents of the Book of Revelation, which records the time of rest without death and suffering that both heaven and earth have desired.

Chairman Lee stated that the Book of Revelation is “a prophecy that God promised to fulfil,” adding that “it will certainly be fulfilled when the time comes.” He repeatedly emphasised that this is precisely why John 14:29 states, “I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe,” and that Revelation 22:18-19 even records, “If anyone adds to or takes away from the contents of this book, he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven and will be cursed.”
Chairman Lee emphasised that the realities of the words of prophecy recorded in the Book of Revelation have come to pass today, saying, “Now is the time of the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation, and a time when the words recorded in prophecy are appearing as reality and being testified to.” He added, “In order not to add to or subtract from the Book of Revelation (Rev 22:18–19), one must know the reality in which this prophecy has appeared and fully understand it.”
He stressed, “For the sake of God, we must correctly testify even to the reality of the Word,” adding, “Acting according to God’s will will be true filial piety offered to God.”
