[Shincheonji To the World] The Word of Shincheonji Stirred the Hearts of Christians in Europe.

In times of crisis, whether it be the crisis in Europe, conflicts in Syria or other many disputes that exist today, people seek answers from religion. 

Approximately 2.2 billion people are Christian, and among them is Mr. Lee Man Hee.
Nevertheless, this Korean man, Lee Man Hee is no ordinary Christian. He says that he holds the mission of declaring to the world that the book of Revelation has been fulfilled exactly as it has been written in the bible. 
Lee Man Hee, who was born in Korea, had only visited the United States and Asia for the Open-Bible Seminars until last Saturday when he came to Berlin for the first time to testify the word of God. 

The visit to Europe is of great importance to Mr. Lee Man Hee. 
"The purpose of my visit to Europe is to proclaim that the prophecy has been fulfilled to those who believe in the promise of the New Testament that the prophecy would be fulfilled. The seed of the Gospel had been sown into the field of the world, starting from Europe and spreading to the East. The prophecy has been fulfilled as promised in the East. This is what I am declaring. The promise of Jesus is what believers and people of faith must see and believe." 

82-year-old Mr. Lee became a Christian as a child in Asia where Buddhism and Taoism have its deep root while Christianity is treated contemptuously. For this, Mr. Lee Man Hee is glad to see that his church has achieved great expansion in Asia. There is a reason behind such growth.

"There is no word of the revelation, and that the word of God has been depleted. All pastors, presbyters, elders, missionaries and people of our church have gathered to hear the word of truth." 

His first name "Man Hee" holds the meaning of 'light' or 'to enlighten'.
According to those around him, the name suits him very well. 

Thousands of believers visit his seminar to hear and find the word and spiritual enlightenment. Nevertheless, the words of Mr. Lee Man Hee pertains to all Christians in the world.

"I would like to give the following message to all Christians. God's book, the book of Revelation is open and the words have been fulfilled. Come and see for yourself. If this is true, it means that Heaven, the Kingdom of God has already come. Repent and believe that you can be reborn and become the people of Heaven." 

It is not surprising to see that people are seeking comfort in his message.

[24 Q&A] 4. Someday, it seems like synthesis of life and people living for a long time without illnesses might be possible. If scientific development continues, wouldn’t the existence of God be denied?

Chairman Lee Byoungchul and Chariman Lee Manhee

4. Someday, it seems like synthesis of life and people living for a long time without illnesses might be possible. If scientific development continues, wouldn’t the existence of God be denied?

Someday, synthesis of life and people living a long time without illnesses is possible. What you have said is correct. However, it is not through science. I do not think just because science develops, it will be able to analyze the two kinds of gods. Gods can only be known through gods. Also, since life spans were shortened due to sin (within biblical history), when sin is decreased and disappears, people will be able to live longer. The only way to resolve the problem of sin is the blood of Jesus (a righteous man). This is when God could reunite with men.

[Shincheonji Quotes] Request of Man Hee Lee, Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus

We are the people of heaven who have all received forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Jesus. Since we have been born again through the same seed and the same holy spirit, let us gather our forces and accomplish goodness (Rom 8:28). Let us fulfill the beautiful heaven here on earth, just as it is done in heaven (Mt 6:10). In doing so, I pray that all of us eternally serve and praise God and Jesus and live with them together. Let us also pray for each other. Let us retain noble hearts and good thoughts, and let us volunteer through the truth without having any national borders. Let us bring the restoration of light to religions and peace and unification to the world!

Let us walk with God, teaching the knowledge of truth. Walk on the correct path, the path of righteousness and justice. By doing this let us become the most virtuous kings of the strongest nation in Biblical history. There are not many days left until the pastors from each country in this world are invited to Mt. Zion in the Republic of Korea.

The prophecy, the world (Christian world), pastors, and their congregations are coming to an end. A new era is being launched. God and heaven are descending upon the 12 tribes of Shincheonji that have been purchased by the blood of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Let us all receive the returning Lord and live with God in heaven!

There is only one Lord. There is only one Bible. There is only one purpose of our life of faith. The only purpose of our faith is in the same God, the same hope, the same heaven and the same eternal life. We are the same brothers and family who have received the same seed of God. Just as the Lord loves us, we must love each other. We must forgive, love, and bless one another.

[Shincheonji Bible Story] Classification of the Biblical Era - Joshua

The Reality of Joshua's Generation

After the death of Moses, the physical Israelites led by Joshua, entered into the land of Canaan and worshiped God. (Jos24:31, Jud2:6~7)

Jos24:31 Israel served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced everything the LORD had done for Israel.

After the death of Joshua, however, they did not pay careful attention to God's commandment and acted on their own accords. That is, they forgot about the fact that they made a covenant at Shechem.(Jos24:25~27)

Jos24:25~27 On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he drew up for them decrees and laws. And Joshua recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of the LORD.

"See!" he said to all the people. "This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God."

Even in the era of Judges, the circle of their rebellious action repeated on and on.

One of the most prominent betrayers was Solomon, who was the third king of Israel. As the son of the King David, he was endowed with much of wisdom, wealth and honor from God.

But he gave way to Satan by marrying with over 1,000 gentile women. 1King 11 portrays well how Solomon came to bow to gentile gods and turn his back to God's will. The king's betrayal indicates the lax state of people's mind.

Finally, God made a decision to split Israel into the two countries and send the Messiah as the only way of saving the Israelites.

Prophets from Isaiah to Malachi were the messengers to deliver God's messages on the coming of Messiah.(Mal3:1, Ps2:6~7, Isa61:1~3, Jer31:22) Therefore, to accept and understand their sayings was a right path to keep God's promise.

But what was the reality of them at that time? Did they well receive God's words? Or vice versa?

I guess that most of you are well aware of how they were.

Next time, let us examine what the Israelites were like at the time of Messiah's coming.

[Shincheonji World News] Japanese Christians call for Tokyo's apology for sexual slavery

 

“For being Japanese, and moreover, as a man, I apologize to the former sex slaves,” said Toru Akiyama, a pastor from Japan, speaking to an 87-year-old “comfort women” survivor who was sitting in front of him just outside the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, Wednesday. “Many Japanese people feel ashamed of recent remarks made by some officials in Japan. The Japanese government should acknowledge the basic truth that it forced women into sexual slavery and that is why we are here.” A group of Japanese Christians led by Akiyama was on a four-day visit to Seoul, mainly to take part in a weekly demonstration. Protestors gather every Wednesday outside the Japanese Embassy to urge the Japanese government to give proper compensation and an official apology to the wartime victims. Organized by the non-profit Korean Council for Women Drafted into Military Sexual Slavery by Japan, the date marked the 1,080th of the weekly demonstrations which first began in January 1992. In response to the Japanese pastor, one survivor, Kim Bok-dong, stood up and said, “Such an incident should never occur again in the future. I really thank the Japanese people for coming here and joining hands.” According to historians, over 200,000 young women, mostly Koreans, were forced to provide sex for Japanese soldiers during World War II. They are euphemistically called “comfort women.” Only 60 victims including Kim survive as of today with their age groups ranging from late 70s to early 90s. “Churches in Japan have issued statements criticizing defamatory remarks made by Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto,” said Gotto Tatsuo, one of the 15 Japanese Christians who participated in the rally. “We will keep on pushing the Japanese government until they acknowledge the evil deeds they have done in the past.” Comfort women has been a thorny diplomatic issue between Seoul and Tokyo because Japan reiterates that the matter was settled in a 1965 Korea-Japan claims settlement agreement in which Seoul received $800 million in grants and soft loans. Japan has rejected Korea’s countless overtures for talks in seeking for further compensation for the wartime victims. Moreover, prompted by nationalist sentiment, officials under incumbent Shinzo Abe administration have been making provocative comments that deny its past militarism. Mayor Hashimoto said earlier in an interview that military brothels were “necessary” during wartime to raise the morale of the troops. This comment prompted a severe backlash from nations that suffered during World War II. Japan’s conservative swing spilled over into diplomatic relations too when Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se canceled a ministerial meeting with Japan in April in protest of a visit by Japanese officials and lawmakers to the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo where many Class-A World War II criminals are commemorated. Recently, the Abe administration even rejected U.N. suggestion to rein back on provocative remarks made by its officials, saying they are not obliged to abide by them. source: http://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2013/06/113_138165.html Seeing that Japanese Christians urge their government to apologize for  what they have done during World War II, it occurred to me that we should think about what also have been done spiritually during Japanese colonization.  They forced the Korean Christians to bow down to the God of Japaneses Emperor, which means to worship the gentile God other than the LORD of God.(Ex20:3)   ... In the same manner, today's Protestant pastors, the pastors of Spiritual Israel, also consider themselves the only chosen people. They do not know they have sinned (they bowed down to the Japanese god during Japanese's colonization).                          - From Healing All Nations by Man Hee Lee Mt12:31 warns us that every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.  Given that every verse in the Bible is for everyone, let us stop sticking to the physical behavior but step further to the spiritual level to be truly atoned and get salvation. That is the right way to be God's true family!

[Shincheonji Truth] Glory in Heaven & Peace on Earth

Main references: Lk 2:14, Lk 19:38-42

What is glory in heaven and peace on earth? It is the end of sin and wickedness, and of both physical and spiritual war. It is the coming of world peace and restoring of light. It was also the message that an angel passed on to shepherds (Lk 2:14). 

Lk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests. 

Jesus' disciples also offered praise with the same content (Lk 19:35-38). 

Lk 19:35-38 The whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" 

Having heard this word, the snakes (Mt 23:33), the Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" Jesus replied to them, "I tell you. If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." 

As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes” (Lk 19:41-42). He continued on saying, “The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you” (refer to Lk 19:43-44; Mt 24:1-2).

Because of this word Jesus was teaching, the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the leaders among the people were looking for the means to kill Jesus (Lk 19:47-48). Is today not like this?

They were persecuting Jesus and labeling him as a heretic, a man with a contagious illness, and a demon-possessed person, just to cover up their faults, shortcomings, and their shamefulness. Roughly 2,000 years have passed by. What about today? Jesus spoke about how there would be betrayers, destroyers, and a savior regarding today. He also stated that not one stone here would be left on another, and that the destroyer would stand in the holy place. At that time, the pastors in the temple and their congregation will receive the mark from the destroyers and worship them. Whoever does not worship them will get killed. Those who kill people will think, “This is the way to offer a service to God.” If a savior appears in the midst of this situation, how intensely he must get persecuted! It becomes obvious how people will treat the persecuted savior.

This is the small and narrow path of salvation. It is not as easy as we think to attain salvation without understanding the history for the last 6,000 years and the prophecy regarding today. Primarily, one must understand the word of the prophecy in the New Testament. Next, one must recognize the betrayers and the destroyers by using the recorded word of promise. Third, one must know the promised savior.

Such work is the will that God is going to accomplish, but people are being like dim lamps. They are carrying out their life of faith with incomplete faith, and they attend church habitually just as they have been doing as always. This is why corruption has slipped into people without them recognizing it. Darkness has covered their hearts and thoughts so that they will not receive the revelation (i.e. the revealed word). Even if salvation belongs to God, how can it enter into people if their hearts have been closed?

At a time like this, one understands this and appears as a savior. He puts his life on line and fights with the truth. He overcomes with the blood of Jesus and the word of his testimony (Rv 12). This person is the savior whom God acknowledges. It is only when one overcomes that he can retrieve what was lost. It is only when one overcomes that he can save those who have been held captive. It is also only when one overcomes that he can establish God’s kingdom. One must overcome the devil, the world, and himself. One must know God’s promise, the New Testament, and he must see what is of heaven in order to establish on earth just as it is done in heaven (Mt 6:10; Rv 21).

Just as the promise with Abraham was fulfilled at the time of Moses, and just as the promises through the Old Testament prophets were fulfilled at the time of Jesus, one must know how Jesus’ promise (the New Testament) will also be fulfilled today at the time of the one who overcomes. The one who fulfills it is the one who has promised it. The messenger who speaks on behalf sees what has been fulfilled, and he testifies about it. No one can testify about the fulfillment without having seen, heard, or known it. God recorded what was yet to be fulfilled as prophecies in the Bible. If the recorded promise has been fulfilled, the book of prophecy serves as a testimony for the promise (the prophecy). What serves as a testimony for the prophecy is the fulfilled physical reality. Furthermore, what serves as a testimony for the promised pastor who testifies about the fulfillment is the fulfilled physical entities (Dt 18:18-22). Several pastors have been interpreting the book of prophecy in different ways according to their own thoughts, but their interpretations lack credibility because they do not have the fulfilled physical entities.

Two thousand years ago at the time of the first coming, Jesus stated how peace was hidden from the eyes of the people in Jerusalem. It was hidden from Jerusalem because Satan killed all the spirits of the saints in the Jerusalem temple through the snakes, the Pharisees. It was also because they did not like the words of peace and Jesus, the messenger of peace. Just as it says, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men,” world war will only end when religious war—in which people dispute with one another, claiming to be the truth—comes to an end. This is going to happen as the truth overcomes, and religions are unified through the truth. War will come to an end as Satan, the spirit of wickedness, is seized and locked up. It will be glory to God and peace to men as the God of peace retrieves the world he created and reigns over it. This is how we send away the old and welcome the new. This is truly a good season.

Today the whole world desires peace, and people are helping it to be accomplished. Everyone longs for the culture of heaven, peace, and restoration of light. We have uncovered the shroud that enfolded people, and we are accomplishing world peace.

Today the truth has triumphed over the world. Peace will come to each person as Satan, the dragon, is captured and locked up, and as the God of peace reigns. Peace and restoration for you and me. Let us offer glory to our God.

Amen!

[Shincheonji Bible Story] Classification of the Biblical Era - Abraham

Creation of Abraham's Generation

When the sin of Noah's offsprings, the Canaanites reached its full measure, God chose Abraham to fulfill His desire. With him, God made covenants.(Ps89:3)

http://www.google.com/imgres?start=199&hl=en&authuser=0&biw=1024&bih=405&tbm=isch&tbnid=t-3LalY5Q-JoXM:&imgrefurl=http://www.buenanueva.net/biblia/1-biblia1er_Grado/3_biblia1-abraham.html&docid=gx8BQQS3c_X0HM&imgurl=http://www.buenanueva.net/biblia/1-biblia1er_Grado/1imag-lecc3/3abraham-isaac-altar500.jpg&w=500&h=625&ei=1gTTUYTNIaryiAflvYGQDg&zoom=1&iact=rc&page=11&tbnh=147&tbnw=116&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:200,i:10&tx=57&ty=109

>> God's Covenants wih Abraham
(1) The LORD  would give Abraham the land where the Canaanites were residing.
(Ref. Ge12:7)
(2) Abraham's offspring will be countless like stars in the heavens.
(Ref. Ge13:16, Ge15:5, Ge17:4~7)
(3) Abraham's descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and come back in the fourth generation with great possessions.
(Ref. Ge15:13~16)
(4) Through Isaac, Abraham's offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed.
(Ref. Ge21:12, Ge22:17~18)

Specifically through the covenant No.(1), we can perceive that God neither ignored nor endured the sin of the Canaanites and determined to punish them through Abraham's descendants.
The Canaanites were the descendants of Ham and Abraham was the descendant of Shem.

Abraham gave birth to two sons, who were Ishmael and Isaac. In accordance with God's will, Isaac continued bloodlineage as the child of promise of God.

As one of the two sons of Isaac, Jacob established the 12-tribes physical Israelites with his twelve sons.

In God's providence 70 members of Jacob's family went to Egypt. During 400 years in Egypt, they increased in number amounting to six hundred thousand of men on foot, besides women and children.(Ex12:37~42)

Four hundreds' length of time  was a preliminary for God to prepare Abraham's offsprings to conquer the Canaanites. With God's promise reaching its term, it came to be fulfilled by Moses, who was born of Jacob's ancestry.

Through God's untiring efforts to fulfill his will, we should think about ourselves how much we are earnest in understanding and living by God's true will. Without it, we will end up being the entity judged against God's words.

Through next posting, let us find out how all the covenants to Abraham were fulfilled by Moses and his generation.

[24 Q&A] 1. How can you prove God’s existence?

1. How can you prove God’s existence?
   Why doesn’t God clearly reveal himself?

Looking at oneself gives proof of God’s existence. God does not reveal himself to people because God and men have become enemies.There are two kinds of gods or spirits: God the creator, who is life, and an evil spirit, who is a created being.Each kind of god has both a parent-god and a child-god. The god who exists inside of a person is the child-god. A person (body) is like the house for a god.A god is a spirit and the soul is life. Even if the god leaves, a person is able to breathe and live if he still has the soul. When both the god and the soul leave, the person dies. However, even if a body is dead, the spirit is still alive. We cannot know God if we do not know about religion. Man (Adam), who was created and was the child-god of the Creator (Acts 17:29), became a living spirit after receiving the breath of life (Gn 2). However, as a result of receiving the evil spirit of the dragon, who is a created being, the living spirit and the evil spirit became one. This caused confusion, anxiety, and pain. The soul and the spirit left, the flesh returned to the dust and became dust (Gn 3).People who are born with the genes of the first man (Adam) are the people who have been living on this earth until today. When man, who is the child-god of God, receives another god, the parent-god, who gives life, leaves and after living the life they are left with, the man dies.As a result of inherited sin and personal sin accumulating on top of original sin; sin increased and our lifespan became shorter (Gn 6:1-3; Ps 90:10). Because evil entered into life, pain and death also came into existence. By receiving another god, sin was committed and because of this sin, the holy God of life left men. The parent-god cannot come to people because of sin and people cannot go to the parent-god because of sin. This is how there came to be a division between heaven and hell.Confirmation: I am dreaming. My spirit (god) that looks like me comes out from me, goes far away and wanders around. The spirit wanders around and is able to see and hear. My body’s soul, which is still within the body, is not dead and is still breathing. The spirit (god) and soul (life) are separated. The spirit which left even has the ability to fly. The soul which remains in my body lies still and breathes. When the soul (body), which is the house of the spirit, is shaken, the spirit comes back immediately. The spirit then lets the soul know what it has seen and heard. The child-god cannot receive help from the parent-god as a result of sin. One cannot know God through worldly knowledge or wisdom.Since there are two kinds of gods, which give two kinds of thoughts of the heart, it causes confusion; and after suffering under this kind of captivity and pressure, the spirit leaves, the soul also leaves and only the body (house) is left to return to the ground.Heavenly religion belongs to the parent-god and it is education which is given to the child-god. This education provides a way for the child-god to meet the parent-god and receive the breath of life. The spirit, which became a living spirit as a result receiving of the breath of life, became a dying spirit and soul as a result of receiving an evil spirit. How does it cause death? It sends all kinds of illnesses and destroys the inner parts of the body (house). Because the house is destroyed, the spirit leaves. By understanding religion, escaping from the evil spirit, and believing in the parent-god, who helps people to become living spirits, the body will be judged and die because of the original sin, hereditary sin, and personal sin, but the spirit will live by being encouraged through faith. This is due to a separation between the child-god and the evil spirit, which was with the child-god.In order to save mankind, who is in this kind of state from the evil god, first the cost of sin must be paid (with the blood of a righteous man). The evil god must be overcome and one must overcome oneself. This is when one is able to find oneself once again, escape from the evil god and become one with the parent-god, who is the Creator and life. This is the path of religion. This does not occur simply by wishing for it, but rather, it is possible through the one who gives us the path and life (religion). It is similar to a reunification where an orphan finds and drinks the breast milk of his mother.I have seen the God of heaven, have heard his voice, dreamed dreams and have experienced the spirit and the soul leaving my body. I have also experienced the spirit and the soul leaving and returning (to the body, which is the house of flesh) twice.Both times I tried hard not to die. After the spirit and soul left, I did not think at all about the body, which was the house. With the same outfit I wore while I was alive, I was traveling somewhere on earth. This happened when I was walking on a path by myself. I do not remember for how long I had left the flesh. I was going far away and the moment I thought about the body, I was back in the body and came back to life again.Conclusion: The proof of the parent-god is to look at oneself, who is a child-god. How can the son say the father does not exist because he has not seen him? The reason why the parent-god does not show himself is because the child-god has committed sin by uniting with another god. This is why the parent-god (holy spirit) has been groaning (Rom 8:19-27). If I wrote based on the evidence recorded in the Bible, I would have a lot more to say; but I have explained, as you can see above, so people who do not believe would also be able to understand.

Nelson Mandela's health has deteriorated and he is now in critical condition, the South African government said Sunday, the Associated Press reported. The office of President Jacob Zuma said in a statement that he had visited the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader at a hospital Sunday evening and was informed by the medical team that Mandela's condition had become critical in the past 24 hours. "The doctors are doing everything possible to get his condition to improve and are ensuring that Madiba is well-looked after and is comfortable," Zuma said in the statement, using Mandela's clan name.

The bold-print, front-page article has since drawn a lot of attention around Korea because Mr. Lee directed his 24 questions concerning religion, to a catholic priest a month before he passed. The world is paying careful attention, not only because the questions were asked by one of the top leaders in the global economy, but also because no one has been able to properly answer them for the last twenty-four years. The following article provides clear and definitive answers to Lee’s 24 questions about religion. It has been 24 years since these questions were asked, but the answers are finally being proclaimed to the public. Now the people of the world can find the truth they have been seeking. Religion and the mindset of the world There are two kinds of entities in the spiritual world. Of the two, I respect God and those who belong to him. In the physical world, I would like to acknowledge the Buddha, the eastern prophet Nam Sa Go, the Buddhist monk Seongcheol and Samsung’s Lee Byeongcheol because they are honest. Just as the Buddha questioned religion as he agonized over the difficulties of life, Lee Byeongcheol asked his questions about religion in emotional pain as he faced death. Neither of them had the ability to answer their own questions. The Buddha and Nam Sa Go could only speak about what they knew. Before we talk about God, we must first understand the origin of religion. Who can answer questions such as these correctly (1 Cor 2:10)? Source: www.scjnews.net

[Shincheonji Quotes] Time to realize God's true will in Shincheonji

God created the worlds of Adam and Noah, and yet they were deceived by the devil and betrayed God just like the devil (refer to Gn 3:1-11; Gn 9:20-27). The world of Moses, the Israelites who received the Law betrayed God as well (Hos 6:7). Due to such betrayal, God appointed the Old Testament prophets in order to make known the true God (Hos 6:6) and also to proclaim future events. God came to Jesus and made himself known to people by fulfilling the Old Testament. The Israelites, however, adhered only to the Law of Moses, and they did not receive God. God, therefore, established a new covenant, which is the New Testament, through Jesus (Mt 26:26-29; Lk 22:14-20; Heb 8:10). The book of Revelation, which is yet to be fulfilled at the second coming, summarizes the New Testament very well. There has never been a time when God did not fulfill his promises accordingly (Is 14:24; Hab 2:3). In the same manner, God has also fulfilled the book of Revelation and the New Testament.

This is the round-up of the biblical history in the context of COVENANT.  God said he would keep his covenant to those who love him and keep his commands.(Dt7:9)

Carrying out the life of faith, what are we heading for in our spirit? And all through the biblical history what is God accomplishing with his zeal ?

Due to Adam's betrayal, God had to map out for recovering his lost paradise. Not to be betrayed again, God chose the people and had to test and train them to see whether they would keep the promise or not..(refer to Ps89:3, Dt8:2)

Throughout the ages of Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, God chose the physical Israelites as his chosen people and commanded them to keep his promise and obey his words.(Ex19:5~6) It was to make them his kingdom of priests and holy nations. Tempted by Satan ever since the original sin, however, the people chosen by God turned their backs on God's promise. That has always been and even now is the case.

After the first covenant broken, Jesus made the second promise and he has left it to us 2000 years before.  The gospel has been preached in the whole world as a testimony.(Mt24:14)  That means we have no excuse for God's words.(refer to Jn15:22)

Now is the time when the signs of the second coming of Jesus have already been fulfilled and we should prepare the lamp and oil to meet the bridegroom.

In Shincheonji, we are testifying about the fulfillment of the New Testament. Come and see! 

[About Shincheonji] The Successful End of Shincheonji Open Bible Seminar in May

‘The Open Bible Seminar Lead by the Advocate' held at the Olympic Park on 6~7 May has ended in great success. Two-day seminar was made up of 4 sessions, which was two times a day, 2 pm and 7 pm.

The final session on 7, 7 pm had reached its peak with the chairman Lee Man Hee's personal lecture. He emphasized that he had witnessed the whole event of the book of Revelation and that is the reason why he is such confident about his testimony. And he said, "My purpose of walking on the life of faith is to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever wants to attain salvation should not judge by his own arbitrary thought but be reborn with this words."

Foreign press showed great interest in this seminar with the participation of foreign ministers. In great eagerness to be part of this world peace movement, they also made a 'Peace T-shirt' stamped with their own hand prints.

A person concerned said that Shincheonji had already forgiven all the persecutions of the pastors and it is not too late for the believers to verify if what has been testified from Shincheonji is true and to attain salvation.
