The momentum of the "2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar" tour has reached a boiling point. On 9th May, the Jeonju Church of the Thomas Tribe was packed with over 3000 attendees, including 150 pastors from various denominations. The main hall was overflowing, forcing many to participate from designated overflow areas—a testament to the growing hunger for biblical clarity in the region.

One of the most moving aspects of the Jeonju 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 was deeply moved to realise that Revelation is being fulfilled in the era I am alive,” he exclaimed. “Promises must be fulfilled, and prophecies must have a tangible outcome. I came to realise that there must be a fulfilled reality.”

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. For nearly an hour and a half, Chairman Lee summarised the events of the entire Book of Revelation and testified to the prophecies and realities of each chapter.

He explained that the Book of Revelation should not be regarded merely as prophecies recorded in ages past, but understood as the word of promise (prophecy) that appears as reality when the time comes.

Chairman Lee stated, “Before the reality appears, one can only speak of prophecy, but once the reality appears, one can testify to the reality of the prophecy as well,” adding, “When the Book of Revelation is fulfilled through God’s promise, realities appear. Even I would have found it difficult to know these things if I had not seen them directly.” He asked for the fulfilment of the Book of Revelation that he had seen and heard to be verified through the Bible.

He went on to emphasise, “Today is an era where prophecy and reality are taught together,” adding, “We must have firm faith by seeing the fulfilled reality.”

As in previous lectures, Chairman Lee urged the pastors to remain humble before the Word of God. Citing Revelation 22:18-19, he urged pastors to make every effort “not to add to or subtract from the word of the Bible, and keep it exactly as it is as a condition for salvation”—a plea to religious leaders to reflect not only on their own spiritual state, but also on the needs of their congregations.

Unlike typical religious events, the Jeonju seminar was followed by a Pastors' Discussion Session. Church leaders gathered to debate why Christianity remains divided and how the warning in Revelation 22:18-19 (not adding or subtracting from the Word) should be understood. This interactive format proved that the seminar is not just a one-way lecture, but a platform for theological reconciliation.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus expressed its commitment to fostering an environment where spiritual growth and mutual respect can flourish. This seminar is part of a broader national tour that began in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, earlier this year and extended to Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Gyeonggi, and Naju, signalling a sustained momentum in sharing the "Revealed Word." As the religious landscape continues to evolve, the increasing participation of established clergy in these seminars suggests that the quest for biblical truth is overriding long-standing sectarian divides.
