| Fulfilled realities of Revelation proclaimed upon the long-standing Christian missionary foundation of Chuncheon

| Chairman Lee Man-hee: “Those who add to or subtract from Revelation cannot enter heaven… The testimony of the witness who has seen and heard must be verified” 

Chairman Lee Man-hee proclaimed the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and their fulfilled realities at the 

“2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation,” held in Chuncheon on May 13.

 

In Chuncheon, a city that has served as a foundation of faith in the Gangwon region, the fulfilled realities of the Book of Revelation that have appeared today were proclaimed. The Bible Seminar became a powerful signal for the full-scale expansion of the revealed word throughout Gangwon.

 

Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, held the “2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation” in Chuncheon on May 13. The event concluded successfully with approximately 1,500 attendees, including pastors, religious leaders, and prominent figures from the Gangwon region.

 

Those who attended the event had the opportunity to directly verify through the Bible how the prophecies of the Book of Revelation have been fulfilled today. Attendees expressed amazement that the fulfilled realities of Revelation were testified to solely based on Scripture, and the venue was filled with fervent enthusiasm for the revealed word.

 

This Bible Seminar held even greater significance in connection with Chuncheon’s historical meaning in Christianity. Chuncheon has been regarded as a city that helped lay the foundation of faith in the Gangwon region through the restoration of church communities, missionary work, and educational activities following the Korean War. With the fulfilled realities of Revelation now being testified to in Chuncheon, the seminar served as a decisive opportunity to accelerate the spread of the revealed word across the region.

 

Chairman Lee Man-hee: “Adding to or subtracting from Revelation brings plagues… The fulfilled realities must be verified”

At the Bible Seminar held in Chuncheon on May 13, the venue was filled with attendees eager to verify the revealed word.

The central focus of the seminar was Chairman Lee Man-hee’s direct lecture on the Book of Revelation. Citing Revelation 22:18–19, Chairman Lee said, “It is written that if anyone adds to or subtracts from Revelation, they cannot enter heaven and will receive plagues.” He strongly warned that a life of faith continued without knowing Revelation can only lead not to heaven, but to hell.

 

Chairman Lee emphasized that truly understanding Revelation does not end with knowing the written prophecies. Rather, it requires accurately verifying the entities that have appeared today according to those words. He stated that if the prophecies of Revelation have been fulfilled, then there must be actual realities that appeared exactly according to what was written, and believers must verify them based on the Bible.

 

Then through whom can the fulfilled realities of the entire Book of Revelation be verified? Chairman Lee explained that there is only one witness who has seen and heard all the events and entities from Revelation chapters 1 to 22, and that only this one witness can testify to the true meaning and fulfilled realities of the entire Book of Revelation.

 

Chairman Lee also strongly criticized the reality of the religious world, which has carelessly condemned Shincheonji Church of Jesus as heretical without knowing Revelation. He warned that those who believe in God must fear judgment, and that condemnations and slanders uttered without knowing the Bible cannot escape responsibility before God.

 

He further emphasized that rather than condemning and slandering Shincheonji as heresy without understanding Revelation, people must verify it solely based on the Word. Chairman Lee pointed out that for many years he has proposed holding a public test on the entire Book of Revelation or on 100 key questions, yet not a single person has responded to the challenge. He urged those who wish to know the true meaning and realities of Revelation to come to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, verify it directly, and learn.

 

Attendees opened their Bibles… Growing thirst for the revealed word

Pastors and believers attending the Chuncheon Bible Seminar opened their Bibles and listened attentively to Chairman Lee Man-hee’s lecture.

  

Throughout the lecture, pastors and believers at the venue kept their Bibles open and verified one by one the realities fulfilled according to the prophecies of Revelation. As Revelation was clearly testified through the written Word and the realities that appeared according to it—not through human speculation or arbitrary interpretation—the desire among attendees to learn the revealed word more deeply grew even stronger.

 

This response was also reflected in the impressions shared by pastors. A pastor surnamed Lee from the Presbyterian Church of Korea in Wonju said, “After hearing the Word testified by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, I felt that this is the church God has been seeking.” He added, “As the realities of Revelation were testified, many people gathered, and I felt that this was not accomplished by human effort but by the great work of the Holy Spirit.”

 

A former chairman of a heresy countermeasure committee, who had strongly criticized Shincheonji Church of Jesus in the past, also attended the event and drew attention. After confirming the revealed word, he expressed his intention to stand together in overcoming persecution against Shincheonji Church of Jesus and to join in spreading the revealed word.

  

A Buddhist monk currently participating in a Bible exchange program also shared, “Although our religions are different, I believe that understanding one another based on each religion’s scriptures is the path to true religious peace.” The monk added, “As I came to understand the Bible correctly, I gained the desire to correctly teach and share it with those who do not properly know the Bible.”

 

A warning to the religious world that has taught without knowing the true meaning of Revelation

The Chuncheon Bible Seminar venue was filled with pastors and believers from the 

Gangwon region who sought to verify the fulfilled realities of Revelation through the Bible.

  

The message left by the Chuncheon Bible Seminar to the religious community in Gangwon was clear. Revelation is not a word to be judged based on human thoughts or denominational traditions. It is a promised word that must be verified through the Bible by the testimony of the witness who has seen and heard the realities that appeared at the time of fulfillment.

 

 

The testimony delivered that day served as a warning to the local religious community that has been teaching believers without knowing Revelation. As pastors and believers from the Gangwon region directly verified the fulfilled realities of Revelation through the Bible and expressed enthusiasm for follow-up education, the seminar is expected to become a turning point for the full-scale spread of the revealed word throughout the region.

 

A forum for religious unity opened through the revealed word… Seeking the path to harmony within the Bible

During the second session of the Chuncheon Bible Seminar, pastors and religious leaders engaged 

in fellowship centered on the Word and shared a time of harmony.

 

Following the lecture, the second session was held under the theme, “A Forum for Religious Unity to Become One in Peace.” Pastors and religious leaders took part together in a Bible OX quiz, naturally beginning exchanges in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

 

They then held in-depth discussions on five topics, including “How religions can become one,” reflecting on the meaning of coexistence and harmony beyond religion and denomination. In particular, attendees agreed that true harmony must be achieved not through human thoughts or denominational positions, but based on the Word of God. 

 

Afterward, participants drafted a joint declaration with the hope that religion would become a light to the world and bring about peace. The declaration included a pledge to cooperate and stand in solidarity in building a peaceful world based on harmony and respect among religions.

 

Beyond the Seoul Metropolitan Area, Yeongnam, Honam, and Chungcheong to Gangwon… The Wave of the Revealed Word Continues to Spread

 

The “2026 Shincheonji Bible Seminar: Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation,” which Shincheonji Church of Jesus has been holding in major cities across the nation, continues to draw attention both inside and outside the Korean religious community. Beginning in Seoul in March, the seminars have continued through Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Gyeonggi, Naju, Daejeon, Jeonju, and now Chuncheon. The wave of the revealed word has spread beyond the Seoul metropolitan area, Yeongnam, Honam, and Chungcheong regions to reach Gangwon.

 

According to the organizers, previous regional Bible Seminars drew approximately 400 pastors in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul; 1,500 attendees including pastors in Busan; 600 attendees including pastors in Incheon; 1,500 attendees including pastors in Daegu; 600 attendees including pastors in Hanam, Gyeonggi; 2,150 attendees including pastors in Naju, Jeonnam; 3,264 attendees including pastors in Daejeon; and 3,000 attendees including pastors in Jeonju. In total, approximately 13,000 people attended the seminars.

 

The Chuncheon Bible Seminar demonstrated that the wave of the revealed word, which has been spreading nationwide, has now reached the Gangwon region. In particular, as pastors and religious figures from Gangwon verified the fulfilled realities of Revelation through the Bible and showed interest in continued exchanges, expectations are growing for the expansion of Word-centered exchanges in the region.

 

This interest is also leading to tangible results in Word exchange. To date, the Philip Tribe has signed 50 memorandums of understanding for Word exchange, and 10 churches have changed their signboards.

 

Lee Jeong-su, head of the Philip Tribe, said, “We hope that religions and denominations will become one centered on the Word and move toward the path of harmony through communication and exchange.” He added, “We will continue to provide opportunities for ongoing exchange through various programs, including follow-up education and cultural exchange.”
