[Shinchonji] Going beyond Korea, now to America

Introducing the words of Shinchonji on the American broadcasting network throughout the states of America on Azteca TV




Current Christianity in Korea is being pulled by its root by the words of truth from Shinchonji. Not only that but the words of Shinchonji is without a doubt spreading rapidly throughout the world.
Last January 7th, the Mexican television broadcasting network Azteca broadcasted the Shinchonji Word Seminar held in Jam-Shil in September of last year. They broadcasted 30 minutes of the lecture content spoken personally by the Chairman Man Hee Lee. The words of Shinchonji broadcasted on television through the Azteca broadcasting network shown throughout the United States of America made many realize the amazing work of Shinchonji in spreading throughout the whole world.
Shinchonji expressed, “this is the work of the Holy Spirit. Starting from now there will be broadcasting of the introduction of Shinchonji aired not only in America but in Europe and other countries throughout the world.” Soon Shinchonji will widely be known universally that this is solely the place God acknowledges, the kingdom of righteousness and justice, the City of Truth. Currently, Shinchonji established 50 churches in 15 different countries, with approximately 3,000 international congregation members registered as a church member. November of last year, at the Seoul and Gyungki combined graduation, 600 international congregation members participated. This event expressed the global status of Shinchonji that surprised our surrounding neighbors.

Man Hee Lee interview: Frankfurt Rhein-Main TV

Today, there was a lecture given by the founder of Shinchonji, Chairman Man Hee Lee, regarding the end of the age and Revelation. The explanation of Revelation by Shinchonji is said to be the way for everyone to understand the Bible, for those who are interested.
The Bible is one. However, there are so many different interpretations and doctrines regarding it. But Shinchonji is testifying to what has been fulfilled (according to the Bible).
Currently, there are 300 Bible schools (of Shinchonji), in 13 different countries.



                                  

[24 Q & A] 2.How can it be proved that God is the creator of the universe and all living things?

One cannot say a king does not exist simply because he has not seen him in the palace. The proof God created all things is creation itself. How can anything grow if there is no seed and how can anything sprout if nothing has been planted?
The Creator is life and the words of God, who is life, become the seed to create all things (Lk 8:11; Jn 1:1-4). The creation of heaven and the earth is like the son existing because the father exists. The son knows his father. The reason why a son may not know his father is because he is not the son.

Interview with Man Hee Lee: Leipzig TV Telegram of Germany

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. Man Hee Lee. Nevertheless, this Korean man, Man Hee Lee 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.
 Man Hee Lee, 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. This visit to Europe is of great importance to Mr. Man Hee Lee.
“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 has been 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 roots, Christianity is treated contemptuously. For this, Mr. Man Hee Lee 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.”
The word “Hee” from his name 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. Man Hee Lee 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.

[2012.5.17] Man Hee Lee: Nord Berliner newspaper company interview

Religion and faith have always been the themes of controversy and the causes of heated discussions that create disharmony even to this day. We do not know by whose name the Crusades waged war, but it has not yet ended. Nonetheless, the number of congregation members in large churches of the West is decreasing. Contrary to these events, one religious organization introduced itself by hosting a seminar last Saturday evening at the Ernst Reuter. A reporter from North Berlin had the opportunity for an exclusive interview with the spiritual leader of this organization, Pastor Man Hee Lee. This is the content regarding the religious organization called Shinchonji.

We often used to the word “cult” to label other religious organizations. The word “cult“ is originally a neutral term referring to sects that cause controversy due to differences in philosophical, religious, or political teachings and customs. This concept is used in particular to label religious organizations that have been separated from their own religious parent. This organization, Shinchonji, has been undermined by rumors and hearsay from other churches, branded with a negative image as if it were a danger to previously-established religious organizations, churches and societies. The word “cult“, in modern religious studies and sociology, is not a term used to point out special groups or new religious organizations; it is characterized as a neutral party in addition to being used to describe a “new religious movement.“ When viewed in such context, this place called Shinchonji does not match the title of “cult.”

*Who is Chairman Lee?
Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shinchonji was born in today’s Republic of Korea in 1931, in a poor farming household of the countryside. During that time, not many people believed in the religion of Christianity. In spite of this, he was baptized by a foreign Baptist missionary from Seoul. In 1984, he established “Shinchonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony,“ based on his various personal experiences.

* What does this organization do?
The first thing that caught my eye in Ernst Reuter Hall was how full it was of people, even to the last seat. There were several photojournalists and people of different broadcasting stations bustling about for this big occasion. The event, introduced as the “Open Bible Seminar”, began with a charismatic presider who ignited excitement with praise songs. Then, Chairman Man Hee Lee approached the pulpit, lecturing close to three hours in Korean regarding religious organizations and denominations. The careful preparation of translation equipment accommodated several ongoing translations in multiple languages throughout the night.

[Exclusive Interview]
North Berlin Newspaper Company had an exclusive interview, conducted through simultaneous translations between a Korean broadcast station associate and Mr. Man Hee Lee’s answers in Korean. Here is the summary of the interview that lasted about two hours.

Newspaper: Why is it a new church and what change is there in faith?

Chairman Lee: I testify to the Book of Revelation, to what I have seen and heard in its regard.

Newspaper: What you have seen and heard?

Chairman Lee: Yes, as everyone knows, the Book of Revelation is a revelation given in vision, and is recorded with many parables. Today, we are finally able to fully understand Revelation. I testify to what I have seen, heard, and with what I was commanded according to the command in Revelation chapter 10. This testimony is not a prophecy, but the reality of the fulfillment of the prophecies. Only through these words of testimony about the fulfillment of Revelation can people see its reality and know the true God and Jesus, understand all the events and the meaning of Revelation and receive salvation.

Newspaper: For me, as well?

Chairman Lee: One must eat the food at the proper time to receive salvation.

Newspaper: What purpose do you have for Germany?

Chairman Lee: My purpose is for all the believers who believe in the New Testament of the Bible to know through this lecture that the prophecies have been fulfilled. The seed of the gospel of the heavens came from Europe and reached all the way to the ends of the earth in the east, and it has been fulfilled there as promised.

Newspaper: What events will take place when the Book of Revelation is fulfilled?

Chairman Lee: Revelation, which is a book of God, has opened and has been fulfilled. Come and confirm this for yourself! And if it is true, it means heaven is already here. Then you must repent and believe it. Then you will be reborn and will become the people of God.

Newspaper: What should I confirm?

Chairman Lee: Look around you. Wherever you look there are violence, terror, misfortune, and crises. In Revelation it says, “I saw seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets… Revelation is fulfilled when the seventh angel sounds his trumpet.“

Newspaper: Then what trumpet number are we in?

Chairman Lee: This is the seventh trumpet.

Newspaper: Teacher Lee, what do you personally desire?

Chairman Lee: Receive the Revealed Word and be thankful to God. The end of religion is the time of the harvest. The “war“ that takes place at the end of age is a spiritual war, fought with religious authorities. Only the One Who Overcomes has the food for eternal life and the authority to judge. Only the One who Overcomes can rule over all nations.

Newspaper: Teacher Lee, thank you for the conversation you shared and for the Revealed Word.

- Reporter: Professor Dirk Laudahn -
Mr. Man Hee Lee is the leader and the founder of approximately 300 seminary schools throughout the world. About 85,000 students have graduated since the establishment of the seminary schools which are free to attend. These seminary schools instruct with the Bible as the standard. To further elaborate, they teach the unraveling of the Book of Revelation. Revelation is the last book of the Bible and is also referred to as the Mystery of Revelation, the Book of Vision of John, and the Book of Vision. This book is a book of comfort for the holy churches. There are 22 chapters in Revelation, all of which are recordings of the content of revelation Apostle John received on the Island of Patmos.
Currently, there is a Shinchonji church in Berlin with approximately 50 congregation members, managed with the offerings from their members. 10,000 people in Korea received this seminar through the Internet and television.

  

Shinchonji Chairman Man Hee Lee met Columban Luser of Gottweig Monastery of Austria

The day before returning to Korea, on the 14th, Chairman Lee and his group visited Gottweig monastery of Austria, recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site. An official of the monastery expressed surprise at the monastery and the abbot being publicized through media, because it was unprecedented that the entrance of the “most holy place” was granted, as only the priests are usually allowed to enter, beyond the sanctuary of “the holy place,” as it was at the time of the Old Testament.

The group was also able to enter into the monastery library, which boasts having the history of 100 years, carrying also the original letters from Apostle Paul. Women were never allowed to enter previously, making visit of the group with the Chairman even more special.

All the artifacts of the monastery face east, to commemorate the rising sun and Jesus who resurrected, proving that the Chairman and his group’s visitation to this monastery is the Holy Spirit visiting what waited the light of the East to come.

Chairman Lee, finding a painting depicting Ezekiel chapter 37 while being guided by the abbot and the assistant abbot, said, “The content of Ezekiel was fulfilled at the time of Jesus’ First Coming—the fulfillment is the content of Matthew 23 and John 5,” shocking those around him. He also revealed the purpose of his European visit to the abbot during a private meeting, by saying, “The promise of the New Testament has also been fulfilled in one location, and it must be made known to the people who received the gospel,” explain the purpose of preaching the Bible. He also said, “Whether one believes or not depends on the person’s judgment and effort,” and, “I respect all the people who dedicated everything for their faith.” He answered to the warm welcome of the monastery by saying, “The scene of this place will always be in my eyes and my heart, being connected to it.”

This monastery was where the priests at the later half of tenth century prayed and worked in, even more famous as it was designated as a world heritage by UNESCO.

600 foreign graduates from the United States, Japan, China, the Republic of South Africa, Nigeria, Germany, Swiss, Canada, Australia, Ukraine, Indonesia, Uzbekistan etc… from over 10 different countries came to Korea for this graduation.
Daniel and Julia, a married couple from Indonesia took a 10 day break from work to attend the graduation. In spite of their exhaustion that built up during their long travel hours and the harsh cold weather in a different country, the couple, still in joy, expressed how proud they were of becoming God’s first fruit.Andrew who came from Australia said, “It was my hope to hear the words of the chairman directly. This hope finally fulfilled today. I am so honored and thankful.” He couldn’t hide his excitement. He also said, “Before I received the word, I didn’t know much about Korea. After perceiving that the truth is flowing out from Korea, I wanted to learn more about Korea. I didn’t stop there, but I also wanted to learn Korean so that I can directly hear and perceive the Chairman’s sermons.” Zubeltulana who came from Uzbekistan expressed her thoughts saying, “I am envious of the many people in Korea who are able to easily encounter this precious word. As I am in Korea, I will diligently study and return back home to make known this precious word to my family and close friends who are living in my home country of Uzbekistan.”

 

Zion Christian Mission Center

Zion Mission Center

Introduction of Zion Christian Mission Center (ZMC) The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life (Rev. 22:17)






According to the Book of Revelation 14:1~3, Shinchonji established the Zion Christian Mission Center in 1990. This is the emblem of the Zion Christian Mission Center.

Shinchonji - What is the true meaning of Rv 1:7?

The correct understanding of the Bible and of Shinchonji – The New Heaven and New Earth

This site and all of its content has been written according to the Bible. Our purpose is to instruct all Christians in a deeper knowledge of God’s word and to lead them to a deeper faith.


What is the true meaning of Rv 1:7?

As the prologue to Revelation, Rv 1:1-8 is a highly condensed summary of all the chapters of Revelation. Before we discuss Rv 1:7, we should remind ourselves that Rv 1:7 is also part of that summary.

The fact that Jesus returns with the clouds means that he is coming in spirit. Clouds are capable of hiding things from view. In Acts 1:9-11, Jesus’ disciples were staring into the sky after Jesus’ ascension, and a cloud hid Jesus from their sight. Some angels told the disciples, “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven,” (Acts 1:11b). Matthew 24:31 says that Jesus will return with his angels, while Mt 24:27 says the coming of the son of man will be like lightning. Luke 17:22-24 says, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the son of man, and you will not see it. For just like the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the son of man be in his day.” Jesus also says in Jn 16:10, “Concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer.” Apostle John saw the spirit of Jesus in Rv 1. As a matter of fact, the one who comes with the clouds is actually referring to the angel in Rv 10—the angel who comes in the name of the Lord.

In Mt 23:39 Jesus said, “You will not see me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’” The one who comes in the name of the Lord is the Advocate—the spirit of truth mentioned in Jn 14:26—which dwells within a person (Jn 14:17). The one in whom the Advocate—the one who comes in the name of the Lord—dwells also becomes “the one who comes in the name of the Lord.” Seeing the person in whom the spirit of the Advocate dwells is the same as seeing the spirit of the Advocate, who is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. If Mt 17:10-13 and Mt 11:14 are taken together, seeing John the Baptist, who came in the name of Elijah, was the same as seeing Elijah. According to Jn 5:43, Jn 14:8-11, and Jn 12:44-46, Jesus came in the name of the Father, and the Father dwelled in Jesus. Seeing Jesus, therefore, was the same as seeing the Father, and believing in Jesus was the same as believing in the Father. Similarly, God, Jesus, and heaven come down to the one who overcomes (Rv 3:12), and the one who overcomes sits on Jesus’ throne with him (Rv 3:21) at the time of the second coming. Hence, saying that Jesus comes with the clouds means that he is coming in the spirit. It is just like a cloud that hides things from people’s sight.

The fact that every eye will see him means, as discussed above, that people will see the person with whom the spirit of the Advocate has united. Seeing that person is the same as seeing the Lord. It is true that the spirits of those who pierced Jesus at the time of the first coming will see the spirit of Jesus when he returns at the time of the second coming, but the eyes of those who pierced Jesus (Rv 1:7) do not refer to those physically dead people. Because God was one with Jesus at the time of the first coming, those who pierced Jesus pierced God as well (Jn 15:23). In the same way, those who pierce the witnesses standing before the Lord in Rv 11 pierce Jesus at the time of the second coming.

The earth in Rv 1:7 is the same as the earth in Rv 13:8-10. It symbolizes God’s chosen people (the sun, moon, and stars mentioned in Gn 37:9-11) who are destroyed and return to being mere flesh when they fall from heaven. The destruction of the chosen people occurred in Adam’s time, Noah’s time, and Jesus’ first coming. What does it mean for all the tribes on the earth to mourn because of him? Just like the song of Moses in Dt 32 and the Lamentations of Jeremiah, the capture and destruction of God’s chosen people by the figurative nation of Babylon is a sign of the second coming. These chosen people will mourn because of their destruction. This is what it means for all the tribes on the earth to mourn. Although the two witnesses before the Lord put on sackcloth and work to help these formerly chosen people to repent, can the people understand if their spirits are dead? Anyone who is not harvested to receive salvation at the figurative Mt. Zion (Rv 14) will mourn. They are not morning the death of the two witnesses; they are mourning those who fell from heaven and were captured by the gentiles as a result of their betrayal in the end times. They also mourn the death of the spirits of those who were captured by the gentiles and refused to believe in the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

Light From the East Pastor Man Hee Lee

The instructor of this seminar, Instructor Pastor Man Hee Lee is a descendant of a royal family with a 500 year history in Korea (of Joseon dynasty).
He was born in 1931 into a farming family in the countryside.

His walk in faith began as a great star from the heavens came down upon him while he was praying one day and it led him to meet a person from the heavens. He wrote a letter in his blood, dedicating his life to be loyal to God, as he was commanded to go to the Tabernacle Temple in Gyeonggi-Do.

Some time later, he greeted the Lord who came from the clouds, and the place he ended up being guided to as commanded by him was the old Tabernacle Temple.

The events that he has heard and seen in this place were the events of the Book of Revelation. He has receved the revealed scroll, and according to Jesus' commands he testifies to what he has seen and heard.

Pastor Man Hee Lee was not taught in the world, neither was he taught at a church or a seminary school. Despite this, he has became the mouth of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Truth that knows the deep things of the heavens is dwelling within him.

Why do we believe in Jesus as the Christ? by Man Hee Lee



Why do we believe in Jesus as the Christ?

We believe that Jesus is the Christ because he came and fulfilled everything that God promised through the Old Testament prophets to fulfill in the future (Jn 19:30). This is why we Christians have been testifying about Jesus and all the things he fulfilled (Ac1:4-8). More important than what he has already fulfilled, however, is the new promise (New Testament) that Jesus made with us. This new promise was given to us so that we might believe when it is fulfilled (Jn 14:29). Now it has been over 2,000 years since the new promise was made. The people who refused to believe when they saw the fulfillment of the old promise were not true believers, and neither are those who fail to believe when they see the fulfillment of the new promise.The twelve tribes of Shinchonji are testifying with pride about what we have seen – the fulfillment of the new promise. If you hope to have true belief, if you hope to attain heaven and eternity, you need carefully analyze our testimony. Today, salvation is impossible without believing in the fulfillment of the New Testament, just as there was no salvation for those who refused to believe in the Old Testament.The priests during the first coming called Jesus and his disciples ringleaders of sects and riots (Ac 24:5, 14). Christians at that time were cast out of their jobs, schools, homes, towns, and countries (Heb 10). Although Paul was responsible for the stoning of Stephen (Ac 7:54-8:3), he later met Jesus, stopped calling him a cult leader, and instead began to proclaim him to be the Christ (Ac 9). Today, however, no one calls Jesus a cult leader anymore. Now, it is Shinchonji that everyone calls a cult. According to God and the Bible, however, Shinchonji is not a cult; it is the kingdom and priests of God (Rev 1:5-6, 5:9-10, 20:6, 21:1). Believers who truly know the Bible can certify that Shinchonji is the right way. We know that it is only by way of the cross that we can be atoned and saved from our sins.

[Europe Open Bible Seminar]‘These are the true words of God!’

European ministers kneel down and repent at the seminar!


This was the moment to prove that the true words of God are at work everywhere beyond the border. Shinchonji Open Bible Seminar, held 14 times in Korea, caught the attention from the believers of Korea, now catching the attention of Europe.

Chairman Man Hee Lee of Shinchonji was invited to the Europe Open Bible Seminar. He departed for Europe on May 5th and had very busy schedule which started with a meeting with German ministers.

May 6th, as soon as he arrived in Frankfurt, he led a new-church service at the Shinchonji Frankfurt church and said to all the believers of the world, “There is no boundary in family of God,” and emphasized to be one within God.

The next day, the 7th, the Chairman lectured at the Europe Open Bible Conference held in Frankfurt Press Club (FPC) for the minsters from Europe and Africa. On this day, the Chairman lectured on the reasons that he was brought to Europe with Luke 18 and said, “There were several invitations from Germany for me to lecture.” He also said, “At the time of Jesus’ First Coming, the gospel from heaven started from Europe as it says on Mattew 24:14. This has been spread out to the ends of the earth, Korea.” He also said, “Now, the gospel has been fulfilled in Korea, and what begins now is the fulfillment of the East being travelling to the West.” This visit is the first step to start the work of the fulfillment of the East travelling to the West, and proclaiming to the whole world the fulfillment of the New Testament.

The attendees were amazed at the Chairman’s abiliity to not only answer the general questions about the Bible, but to testify clearly regarding the Revealed Word of the New Testament according to the 5 Ws and 1 H.

The attendees had enthusiastic reactions. After the lecture from the Chairman was finished, everyone gave a standing ovation and poured out their questions. Rhein-main TV (the local broadcasting station) announced that ‘New Bible School’ has been opened and the explanation of the Revelation from Shinchonji has opened the way to all of the believers to understand the Bible.”


Why did Jesus bear the cross? by Man Hee Lee

 
Why did Jesus bear the cross?There are two main reasons Jesus bore the cross. The crucifixion allowed for the atonement of the sins of men (Mt 26:28; Ro 6:6-11), and it allowed God and Jesus to come and unite with people who have no sin (Ac 2:36-38; Gal 2:20; Ro 8:9-11). Before the crucifixion, the spirit was not yet with people (Jn 7:38-39), but after Jesus was crucified he breathed on people and told them to receive the spirit (Jn 20:22-23). Jesus, right before his ascension, commanded his disciples to wait for the holy spirit that the Father promised to send and to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth after the spirit came upon them (Ac 1:4-8). After that, they received the spirit Jesus had promised and went on to preach the gospel (Ac 2:1-4). The holy spirit, which left people because of their sins, was able to return to people without sin because Jesus bore the cross on behalf of his disciples to atone for their sins. Where does Jesus currently reside?
Let us truly believe by meditating on the following scriptures:• I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Gal 2:20)• You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you. (Jn 14:20)• Listen! I am standing at the door and knocking! If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come into his home and share a meal with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:20)• And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls “Abba!Father!” (Gal 4:6)• You, however, are not inthe flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, butthe Spirit is your lifebecause of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the onewho raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christfrom the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you. (Ro 8:9-11)• We are coworkers belonging to God.You are God’s field, God’s building. (1Co 3:9)• Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? (1Co 3:16)• Then I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. Thesehad not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. Theycame to lifeand reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Rev 20:4, NASB)According to the scriptures, Jesus resides within us after he has atoned for our sins. This is why he bore the cross and it is our hope. It is wrong to talk about the Bible if you do not understand it fully and if you are not a Christian. These people are not qualified to talk about the Bible. You must proclaim and testify the truth only after receiving the holy spirit that allows you to see, hear, and master the Bible. You should be thankful that you now know the true meaning of Jesus’ cross, which we proclaim for our own salvation.

What is Shinchonji?


The emblem of Shinchonji is the emblem of heaven. It represents the holy city, New Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven. This emblem expresses how God and His throne will come down to this earth as promised in the Bible(Rev. 21:1-3; Rev. 22:1-3). It has been patented and registered at the Korean Industrial Property Office. The two outside circles symbolize the universe and the earth respectively, and the square inside the circle is God's kingdom ― the holy city, New Jerusalem.


In each era of the Bible, God's kingdom has been divided into twelve tribes. In the time of the Old Testament, Jacob (who received the name Israel), became the father of the twleve tribes of Israel. The twelve tribes also appear in the Book of Revelation. Rev. 7 shows the people belonging to the twelve tribes being wealed with the word of God. These twelve tribes have now been established, and bear the names of Jesus' disciples, as well as the names of the twelve tribes of the Old Testament.

[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.

24 questions of wisdom asked by Chairman Lee Byoungchul, founder of Samsung- answers of wisdom given by Chariman Man Hee Lee
The Joongang Daily News published an article on December 17, 2011, which listed a series of questions the late founder of the Samsung Group, Lee Byeongcheol, asked about religion. 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 worldThere 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)?

Chairman Man Hee Lee’s European visit garnered much attention from the local press.

Leipzig TV (Leipzig Fernsehm) of Germany reported through an interview with Chariman Man Hee Lee that, “Man Hee Lee is not an ordinary Christian, he proclaims to have been given the duty of testifying about the fulfillment of the events of the words of Revelation.” And also, “His name, ‘Man Hee’ means ‘light’ and ‘reveal,’ matching him very well,” they reported. Through this broadcasting the Chairman replied, “I would like to say the following to all the Christian’s out there. God’s words in the book of Revelation have been opened and fulfilled. Come and listen, and see for yourself.” And, “If this is true, then this means that the kingdom of heaven is already here,” he said this important message to the whole world.

North Berlin weekly newspaper, “Shinchonji does not match the title of “cult.”

A weekly newspaper in North Berlin spotlighted the content of the interview with Chairman Lee on the 17th, the Asension Day. It reported, “The number of congregation members in large churches of the West is decreasing, but contrary to these events, one religious organization introduced itself by hosting a seminar last Saturday evening at the Ernst Reuter,” and introduced Shinchonji by saying, “The word, ‘cult’ is characterized as a neutral party in addition to being used to describe a ‘new religious movement.’ When viewed in such context, this place called Shinchonji does not match the title of ‘cult.’”

In addition, “Mr. Man Hee Lee is the founder of about 300 mission centers around the world. Since its establishment, 85,000 students have graduated and the cost of tuition is absolutely free. The standard of its education is the Bible and to explain in detail, the teachings of the unraveling of the book of Revelation are taught here,” as the Chairman, Shinchonji, and Shinchonji Mission Center is introduced.

It is as if we have received a lot of love and a huge hug from the viewers”.

[Zion Christian Mission Center] “Give and receive without cost”

The 12 tribes of Shinchonji can produce over 1,000 students each month


Worldly seminary schools that buy and sell authority: “Pay money and learn”vsShinchonji’s Zion Christian Mission Center: “Give and receive without cost”
The CCK is claiming they are orthodoxy. This is like Calvin who label other denominations that don’t match their own church doctrines as a cult.
From the perspective of Shinchonji Church of Jesus (Acronym: ‘Shinchonji’), the CCK looks like an organization of false truth. It is not truth, but they are ruling with their own authority of church doctrines. To gain ecclesiastical authority the pastors are purchasing this with money today. There are those who haven’t even set a foot into a seminary school yet with money they purchase their way in becoming a pastor. The chairman of CCK also became the chairman by paying money. Not only pastors but the elders are the same. One time a chairman from a certain denomination came to Shinchonji saying he would ordain people here as pastors and elders if they paid $300 per person.
Some two pastors also brought pre-recorded notes which said, “will transfer church and church members to the pastors” written on it and they told us to place their stamp on the paper. They said this work was a command from God.

Not only that but the forceful conversion education people of CCC (Cult countermeasure committee), which was established by the CCK, received hundreds of dollars to do a forceful conversion education and to plant in false truth. According to the victims who were dragged into these forceful conversion education program, the forceful conversion education people (pastors) will command the parents to tie the victims hands and feet with a handcuff, to place tape over their lips, to steal their cell phones, to put them inside of a car and then send them to a one room place that has its doors locked and they would forcefully drag them to the conversion education pastors so that the victim could be planted with the false truth.

God said to “buy without cost” (Reference: Rv 21:6, 22:17), He also said to “freely you have received, freely give” (Reference: Mt 10:8). He did not say to “pay and learn. Pay money and then receive authority.”

These people persecuted Shinchonji because they taught freely without cost in their seminary. Which one is true according to the Bible? Also, which one is a true path of faith?

Just like how Jesus and the twelve disciples taught the word of God without receiving money, today Shinchonji is teaching freely in their Bible centers according to the teachings of God and Jesus. They are freely giving the water of life without any cost.

Zion Christian Mission Center, which is a free (Rv 22:17) Bible center, is a place where the harvested people are sealed with the new word (new song) that is the revealed word of the fulfillment of prophecies, and created the twelve tribes. This is the place where the throne in the spiritual realm and God will together be with. From the whole world, the revealed word of the new song can only come out from this place. This place is Shinchonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony that has been fulfilled according to the words of the Bible.

Just like how at the time of Moses the covenant with Abraham was fulfilled (Ex 12), just like how at the time of Jesus’ first coming the Old Testament was fulfilled (Reference: Jn 19:30), there is a fulfillment to the New Testament and that fulfillment that has been fulfilled is being testified to (Reference: Rv 1:2, Rv 10, Rv 22:16)

At Shinchonji, we are doing the work of fulfilling the New Testament, which no one else has ever done (Reference: Rv 21:6). Therefore even if one is given the entire world, this is a precious word that cannot be purchased, which is why it is taught for free. Although in the beginning the word might sound unfamiliar, and there might be many people who doubt and do not believe, but to those who persevere to the end will change in their hearts and be reborn.

 
Just like how in Rv 22 the tree of life bears fruit each month on its 12 branches, the 12 tribes of Shinchonji is producing over 1,000 students each month.
Just like how in Jn 15 Jesus is the tree of life, they are the first fruits who have been born of that word of life.

They have graduated from Zion Christian Mission Center according to God’s will and they have not graduated from worldly seminaries. One must keep in mind that they have learned the things from heaven and have graduated from heaven.

Chairman Lee started the conversation by saying, “I would like for you to provide much help and guidance for the unification of Korea. Korea must be reunited.” The former prime minister of East Germany, Maiziere answered, “The basis of the German reunification came from the peaceful protest of its citizens.

What is important is the education of the Korean youth regarding the need for the Korean reunification.” He also said, “It is impossible to break apart the people of the same nationality for a long time. The German reunification was not something expected, either. It seems like history is made by God,” and continued to give a positive message by saying, “I believe the Korean peninsula will also be reunited soon.” Chairman Lee also sincerely expressed his opinion that “the Korean reunification is very important, for the purpose of world peace and religious independence.”









 

Shinchonji Incheon Open Bible Seminar, Lecture of Chairman Man Hee Lee

Incheon-Dowon gymnasium filled with a crowd who came to hear the Word of Shinchonji

 
Shinchonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Shinchonji) announced that it will be holding a Shinchonji Open Bible Seminar at Incheon-Dowon gymnasium on the 11th and the 12th. Shinchonji has been actively hosting various activities to publicize the Open Bible Seminar through street promotions, “Por-por-por” dance performances, banners in cars and streetlamps, advertising on buses, banners on major buildings, passing out flyers and business cards, and flash mobs.

The upcoming Shinchonji Open Bible Seminar will cover four topics all believers must know, “The Signs of the Lord’s Second Coming and of the End of Age”, “The Tree of Life and The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”, “The Two Types of Seed and Harvest”, and “Revelation and Faith”.

Instructor Jin-Hyun Kim from the Incheon church of Shinchonji said, “Through this seminar many will be able to hear this new Word for the first time.” Regarding this Open Bible Seminar He also said, “This seminar is made up of contents all believers must know. We hope everyone will perceive the words of Jesus’ promise and have perfect faith, becoming believers who accept the Lord.”

Shinchonji Incheon church said regarding the Open Bible Seminar that, “This is a place that testifies to what has never happened before and will never happen again—the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation, God’s last work. It will testify to what was seen, heard, and was commanded to do, without adding anything to it or subtracting from it.” It also emphasized, “We are inviting all the famed doctors of divinity and pastors from all the churches in Korea. Through this opportunity, we hope this seminar will be a time of grace, perceiving the New Testament, Jesus’ words of promise.”

Also, a person related to Shinchonji said, “The gospel that began in the West came to the East, to Korea (“Energy of the West travelling to the East”), and as the time of fulfillment the prophecies of the Bible came, the gospel fulfilled in the East, in Korea, is now preached back to Europe (“Fulfillment of the East travelling to the West”).”


Chairman Man Hee Lee, lecturing at the location of the Shinchonji European Open Bible Seminar

Last May in Europe, Shinchonji held a Shinchonji Open Bible Seminar, being in the spotlight of the European media by receiving much attention before returning. Many of the local media in Europe fought to cover the Word of Shinchonji and Chairman Man Hee Lee extensively during the 12 days of his European visit. After listening to the lecture by Shinchonji’s Chairman Man Hee Lee, the European pastors requested for him to come to their own denomination to hold a lecture there. Also, the local Christians who heard the lecture by Shinchonji’s Chairman Man Hee Lee bowed before him and touched his hand, being saddened by the departure.
On the other hand, on the 31st of last month at the Gan-Seuk Dong-lo Royal Hotel, the Incheon Citizens’ Cult Countermeasure Group of Incheon Christianity Assembly gathered to hold a secret press conference. Criticism made by this group was reported by many media outlets through this press conference. However, Christian organizations in the Incheon area such as this seem to be on high alert as Shinchonji Open Bible Seminar is being hosted in this region of Incheon just 10 days after this press conference and in the midst of persecution.

The upcoming Shinchonji Open Bible Seminar is hosted by the Open Bible Research Institution, and can be viewed live on www.scjbible.tv through the Internet and through smartphones.
