As reported by media unfamiliar with chairman Lee's standpoint of the Bible, many people were curious to hear what he had to say.
His words were met with great reception and all throughout Europe his teaching is awakening souls.
The following is the summary of chairman Man Hee Lee's lecture from the Europe Open Bible Seminar.
" I have come to Europe to testify to the fulfillment of the new covenant."
(Man Hee Lee, Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus)
Greetings, brothers and sisters in Europe, it tis nice to meet you.
The message I would like to give to you today is Mt. 24, Mt. 13, and Revelation, the words of God's promise. I am not here to speak my own words.
I am to testify to you the words of the New Testament.
I am to let you know that the words of the new covenant,
promised by the blood of Jesus in the New Testament, have been fulfilled today by God and Jesus. Whether you believe or not believe, that is in your hands.
Though it would easily take over a month to tell you all these things in detail, I will summarize these words for you today.
[Mt 24, Signs of the End of the Age]
Everyone, today is a very important time in which one era is ending and another important era is beginning.
In this time, one must have a straight mindset and be deply roted in God's Word.
The war that is spoken of in Mt 24 can be easily understood if we take a look at the time of the First Coming.
At that time, who tried to capture Jerusalem?
It was the Pharisees who were called "Satan, snakes,"
as tried to capture Jerusalem (Mt23).
Who was working in Jerusalem?
Isn't it the place where John the Baptist, the messenger who prepares the way, was working in?
When the Pharisees threw out John the Baptist and overtook Jerusalem, Jesus fought against them.
with what did Jesus his fight with?
Did he fight with his fists?
Did he fight with the weapons of the world?
No, he did not.
He fought with "doctrines."
He fought with the Word of God.
Therefore, this war was not a war against the Gentile nations but a war against people from the same nation, the Pharisees and Jesus, who had different gods.
Jesus delivered the Word of truth to them that was given to him by God,
but they fought against Jesus with their own doctrines, teachings, and authority.
Such content is recorded in Mt 23.
Mt 24 speaks about the events that occur at the time of Jesus' Second Coming.
Just as such, the war at the end of the age is also a war between doctrines,
not a war fought with the weapons of the world.
[Mt 12, Two Types of Seeds and Harvest]
Just as God promised Jeremiah the Old Testament prophet, Jesus came and planted God's seed in this earth.
The place where the seeds were planted is in the church,
not anywhere else in the world.
However, the problem was that Satan, too, planted the weeds among the wheat (Mt 13:24~25).
Now, the time has come for the harvest, but what occurs at the time of harvest?
The weeds are tied in bundles to be thrown and be burned in fire, and the wheat are harvested and brought into the barn (Mt 13:30).
Then, what are these two types of seeds?
It is clearly written in Mt 13:37~39.
The disciples asked Jesus who replied,
"The good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom.
The weeds are the sons of the evil one."
It is also said that, "The mean by the end of the age?
Does it mean that this world will disappear?
No!
This means that everything belonging to the field where the seeds were sown comes to an end.
It is because it tis the time of harvest.
"The word of Truth is reaching the whole world."
