ANAHEIM, Calif., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A major Bible seminar hosted by Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony drew over 500 pastors on May 17 at the Shincheonji Peace Training Center in Cheongpyeong, Gyeonggi Province. Originally planned for 200 participants, the seminar had to move outdoors to accommodate the unexpected turnout.
Titled “Bible Seminar on the Fulfillment of Revelation,” the event reflected growing interest in Shincheonji’s teachings among pastors, even those who had previously regarded the group as heretical.
At the seminar, Chairman Lee testified to the prophecies and fulfillment of all 22 chapters of Revelation. He shared how he came to faith without formal theological training and why he now preaches the fulfillment of Revelation as witnessed firsthand. “Everyone wants to go to heaven and gain eternal life, but Revelation warns that altering the text leads to curses and prevents entry into heaven (Revelation 22:18–19). Shouldn’t this be addressed?” Lee emphasized, “What I intend to convey is the reality of the prophecies recorded from Revelation chapter 1 to 22—what I have seen and now testify to.”
“Let’s put aside pride and think objectively. Be honest with yourself. More than anything, be confident that you are worthy of entering heaven,” Lee added. “Is belonging to a traditional denomination what makes one orthodox? Jesus didn’t belong to any denomination of his time. We must know the Bible clearly. If anything I’ve said is wrong, please point it out.”
Many pastors were reportedly shocked by Lee’s ability to explain the entire Book of Revelation without opening a Bible, despite lacking formal theological education.
One pastor who had previously considered Shincheonji a cult said, “Now that I’ve examined it for myself, I realize it isn’t. If the teachings align with the Bible, we must acknowledge them.” He added, “We must not repeat the mistake of rejecting God’s work, as people did during Jesus’ first coming.”
As more pastors seek direct verification of Shincheonji’s teachings, a shift in perception appears to be spreading across the religious community. According to Shincheonji, 858 Korean churches have signed MOUs for scriptural exchange, and 100 have adopted the Shincheonji name.
Chairman Lee concluded, ” Jesus ‘ promises have always been fulfilled, and Revelation will be no different. Let’s become one in the Bible and one family under God.”
Shincheonji expects that the rest of 2025 will see an even greater wave of follow-up education and religious change across Korea.
