[Shincheonji World News] World Without War by Peace Advocate Man Hee Lee

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” ― Albert Einstein

These immortal words of one of history’s greatest minds are embodied by the actions of world renowned peace activist, Man Hee Lee. With the help of the Philippines’ Nationwide Association of Pastors, Mr. Lee, along with his Korean Christian organization, Shincheonji, held a bible seminar and world peace seminar at the auditorium of the College of San Agustin in BiƱan, Laguna.
Mr. Lee was invited by different churches in the local areas of Laguna and Cavite to hold a bible seminar for their local church groups. A World Without War is what he envisions and advocates through political support, preaching God’s words and mobilizing the youth.


The large number of attendees, 900 strong.

I attended the seminar with two other friends, namely Kiko Tawagon and Maddie Laconico who helped me with coverage. Upon entering the auditorium, we were met with loud, heartfelt worship singing. Everyone was on their feet praising, clapping and proclaiming God’s glory.
Local pastors and churches near the area of the school lent a helping hand in making this event possible, assisting with registration, maintaining order, and guiding all the attendees.

Some pastors and church leaders who attended the event.

Mr. Man Hee Lee giving his talk on Christian action for peace.

 
 Mr. Lee is a visionary who dreams of a world rid of the terrors of war. He has been travelling to different countries and locations, from South Africa, to Germany, to Papua New Guinea, to New York, and beyond. Mr. Lee, with the Korean Christian organization, Shincheonji, has been meeting with these countries’ religious leaders and heads of state to appeal to them to support his cause in eradicating wars and ending their support for such violent causes.
His actions were first ignited by his own experiences as a young soldier on the front lines of the war between North and South Korea. He believes that young students shouldn’t be sent to fight wars and be robbed of their chance at making the most of their youth. Preaching about God’s word and the fulfillment of God’s promise to His people, Mr. Lee hopes to ignite the conscience of people in the hope that they too would be inspired to become involved in his campaign for world peace.
According to Mr. Lee, he has been advocating his Christian seminars and peace efforts for quite a long time now. He has inspired 130 international youth groups in certain countries in the declaration of peace and revolution to be forwarded to the United Nations. To help further his causes for ending the turmoil in states that are in a state of war, these youth groups and several more supporters from other countries try to motivate presidents and politicians to drop the guns and sing for peace.

[Shincheonji] The Lecture; Man Hee Lee from the Europe Open Bible Seminar

Due to popular request, the content the lecture from the Europe Open Bible Seminar is presented.

[Purpose of visiting Europe]
Greetings, brothers and sisters in Europe, it is nice to meet you. The message I would like to give to you today is Mt. 24, Mt. 13, and Revelation, the words of God’s promise. I am not here to speak my own words. I am to testify to you the words of the New Testament. I am to let you know that the words of the new covenant, promised by the blood of Jesus in the New Testament, have been fulfilled today by God and Jesus. Whether you believe or not believe, that is in your hands. Though it would easily take over a month to tell you all these things in detail, I will summarize these words for you today.

[Mt 24, Signs of the End of the Age]
Everyone, today is a very important time in which one era is ending and another important era is beginning. In this time, one must have a straight mindset and be deeply rooted in God’s Word.
The war that is spoken of in Mt. 24 can be easily understood if we take a look at the time of the First Coming. At that time, who tried to capture Jerusalem? It was the Pharisees who were called “Satan, snakes,” as tried to capture Jerusalem (Mt 23). Who was working in Jerusalem? Isn’t it the place where John the Baptist, the messenger who prepares the way, was working in?
When the Pharisees threw out John the Baptist and overtook Jerusalem, Jesus fought against them.
With what did Jesus fight with? Did he fight with his fists? Did he fight with the weapons of the world? No, he did not. He fought with “doctrines”. He fought with the Word of God. Therefore, this war was not a war against the Gentile nations but a war against people from the same nation, the Pharisees and Jesus, who had different gods. Jesus delivered the Word of truth to them that was given to him by God, but they fought against Jesus with their own doctrines, teachings, and authority.
Such content is recorded in Mt 23. Mt 24 speaks about the events that occur at the time of Jesus’ Second Coming. Just as such, the war at the end of the age is also a war between doctrines, not a war fought with the weapons of the world.

[Mt 13, Two Types of Seed and Harvest]
Just as God promised Jeremiah the Old Testament prophet, Jesus came and planted God’s seed in this earth. The place where the seeds were planted is in the church, not anywhere else in the world. However, the problem was that Satan, too, planted the weeds among the wheat (Mt 13:24~25).
Now, the time has come for the harvest, but what occurs at the time of harvest? The weeds are tied in bundles to be thrown and be burned in fire, and the wheat are harvested and brought into the barn (Mt 13:30).
Then, what are these two types of seeds? It is clearly written in Mt 13:37~39. The disciples asked Jesus who replied, “The good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one.” It is also said that, “The harvest is the end of the age.” Then, what does it mean by the end of the age? Does it mean that this world will disappear? No. This means that everything belonging to the field where the seed s were sown comes to an end. It is because it is the time of harvest.

[Mt 24, Signs of the End of the Age]

Everyone, today is a very important time in which one era is ending and another important era is beginning.
In this time, one must have a straight mindset and be deply roted in God's Word.

The war that is spoken of in Mt 24 can be easily understood if we take a look at the time of the First Coming.
At that time, who tried to capture Jerusalem?
It was the Pharisees who were called "Satan, snakes,"
as tried to capture Jerusalem (Mt23).
Who was working in Jerusalem?
Isn't it the place where John the Baptist, the messenger who prepares the way, was working in?

When the Pharisees threw out John the Baptist and overtook Jerusalem, Jesus fought against them.

with what did Jesus his fight with?
Did he fight with his fists?
Did he fight with the weapons of the world?
No, he did not.
He fought with "doctrines."
He fought with the Word of God.
Therefore, this war was not a war against the Gentile nations but a war against people from the same nation, the Pharisees and Jesus, who had different gods.
Jesus delivered the Word of truth to them that was given to him by God,
but they fought against Jesus with their own doctrines, teachings, and authority.

Mt 24 speaks about the events that occur at the time of Jesus' Second Coming.

[shincheonji God's Word] QT- Hebrews 8:8-10


 

Hebrews 8:8-10
 
But God found fault with the people and said:
 
“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
 when I will make a new covenant
 with the people of Israel
 and with the people of Judah.
 It will not be like the covenant
 I made with their ancestors
 when I took them by the hand
 to lead them out of Egypt,
 because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
 and I turned away from them,
 declares the Lord.
 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel
 after that time, declares the Lord.
 I will put my laws in their minds
 and write them on their hearts.
 I will be their God,
 and they will be my people.”

[shincheonji God's Word] Let us distinguish the truth from the lies using the Bible

Let us distinguish the truth from the lies using the Bible


Although people are sinners and have been continually hostile toward God, he loved us sinners so much that he gave us his son (Jn 3:16). The son of God bore the cross on our behalf (Jn 1:29) and now he lives within us (Gal 2:20). Jesus taught us to love our enemies (Mt 5:44) and to forgive others their sins (Mt 6:14-15). People who believe these words of Jesus and put them into practice are true believers. Those who refuse to act upon Jesus’ words are not believers at all. Anyone who strays from Jesus’ teachings is acting according to his or her own personal thoughts, opinions, and judgments.
The contents of the 66 books of the Bible can be divided into history, teaching, prophecy, and fulfillment.
Biblical history can be divided into several time periods that lead up to today. The period of the judges followed the time of Adam, Noah, Moses (Exodus), and Joshua (the entry into the land of Canaan). The period of the judges was followed by the period of the kings and prophets, the period of the gospel of heaven, during which the Old Testament was fulfilled, and the period of the epistles written by Jesus’ apostles. Now is the time the New Testament is being fulfilled – the period of Revelation. Now is the time of judgment when the good grain is separated from the weeds. Those who believe the word are separated from those who do not believe it (Mt 13:24-30, 36-43, Mt 25).
It is not by human standards that groups of people are judged as being orthodox or heretical (cult members). The only standard that should distinguish orthodoxy from heresy is the Bible. Present-day churches are not orthodox; they are merely holding onto their traditions. The Jewish people (the Pharisees and teachers of the law) stigmatized Jesus as a cult leader and ended up killing him (1Th 2:15; Mt 23:29-35). Was Jesus, who preached the revealed word of God (Jn 14:10, 24), a true cult leader? The Jewish people judged Jesus and killed him using their own standards and opinions, which deviated from the Bible (Ac 7:51-54; Mt 27). Pontius Pilate, on the other, realized that Jesus was innocent (Mt 27:24).
Although Shinchonji (SCJ) proclaims only the revealed word of God, a certain person has been calling SCJ a cult. At one point I gave that person 40 questions about the Bible and asked him to answer them and explain. Now, although it has been a few years, I have not received any response. Yet, he is still claiming that SCJ is a cult. Just as Jesus, his disciples, and the prophets of old were denounced as heretics, SCJ is also being denounced as a cult. The New Testament indicates that, at the end of the age, all churches will belong to demons, and the pastors and congregation members of those churches will not even realize that they have united with Satan (Rev 17, 18, and Rev 13). In the midst of such a situation, only believers that are sealed with the word and that belong to the promised twelve tribes of the New Testament will become God’s kingdom and priests (Rev 7, Rev 14). Let us speak of what is written in the Bible and answer only according to the Bible. Have those who persecuted SCJ ever willingly accepted our demand for a serious conversation?

 
I, as chairman of Shincheonji, Church of Jesus, do not even own one square meter of property, and neither does my wife or my son. Why would God’s children, who will eventually receive God’s inheritance, be greedy about such trivial possessions? I would never do anything to jeopardize God’s greater reward. I only act according to the word of God. I teach people about justice and fairness, but I also put these principles into practice. How can someone like this be a cult leader? People who do not stand God’s word – people who tell lies and persecute others – they are the real cult leaders. What does the Bible say about those who will receive salvation in this generation? Those who escape the group of the persecutors to join the group that is being persecuted are the ones who flee from Satan and receive salvation. Let us not forsake the truth.

Prayer for all to hear the words of life-Prayer by a member of Shinchonji

Father God,
I would like to thank you for your mercy and grace, which you bestowed upon me that I would be so blessed to hear the word of the opened scroll at this time of Revelation’s fulfilment!
Father God, I pray that I would be changed into more of your image and likeness through your word of truth. Please wash me daily with your word.
Where I am lacking, please transform me by the renewing of my mind by your word.
Heavenly father, please also use me to help others hear this word of testimony. Please give them eyes to see and ears to hear, just like the disciples had towards Jesus’ words at the first coming. Please prepare their hearts and remove the weeds that have been sown in them from the evil one.
Please protect those with hungry hearts for this word. Please protect them from the lies that Satan has instilled into others, who call what they do not understand as a cult or of the devil. Please help them to realize that they need to humble themselves and verify with scripture that this is the word of truth.
Heavenly father, please guide people out of Babylon, those who have been drunk with the maddening wine of adulteries. Please lead them according to your light and truth, so that they would be in the place where you promised to dwell forever—Mt. Zion.
Thank you, Father, for the work of Jesus on the cross, which atoned for our sins, and it is with Jesus’ blood that we have been able to become a kingdom of priests and a kingdom at this time. May the spiritual blood of Jesus refine us and wash the robes of our hearts.
I pray all of these things in the name of Jesus,
 
Amen

Faith and Shinchonji ; What is true faith?

True faith goes far deeper than believing in that which we cannot see… there is so much to be said about what God’s word teaches us about faith. After all, only faith acknowledged by God is faith worth having.

[Shinchonji God's Word] Pastors Who Did not Believe in Every Generation & the Persecution

Main reference:  Is 1
(further reference:  Acts 7:51-53; Mt 23; Mt 5:11-12; Lk 20; 1 Kgs 11)

 
In every generation, why do the pastors not believe, lie, and persecute? 
 
God made a covenant with the Israelites, who came out of Egypt, through Moses in Ex 19:5-6. 
The content of the covenant:  If you keep my covenant, you will become God's kingdom and priests and a holy nation.
However, they bowed down to gentile gods during the time of Solomon as it is written in 1 Ki 11, and as a result, eleven tribes became North Israel, that is, gentile, and in Jerusalem, which was located in the South, Judah was the only tribe left. 
As it is written in 1 Ki 11, as could be seen from Is 1, Judah and Jerusalem were also captured by the gentiles. 
 
In order to save these people, God prophesied numerous times through the Old Testament prophets about the future of Judah and Jerusalem and made it known to His people that Jesus, the savior, would come. 
However, the pastors, who had become Satan's gentile pastors, cruelly killed the prophets, who prophesied.  Regarding this, Jer 31 and Hos 6 say that the people broke the covenant like Adam.  At a time like this, Jesus came and carried out the work of salvation with the twelve disciples, but the pastors and elders at that time did not believe.  Instead, they treated Jesus and his disciples like the Old Testament prophets by labeling them a cult, persecuting them, and killing them.  Amongst them, who is the true pastor and who is the false pastor?  Who is God's pastor and who is the devil's pastor?  As could be seen from the Bible, the prophets, the apostles, and Jesus came to the nation that had become Satan's nation, to the pastors who had become Satan's pastors, to the people who had become Satan's people, fulfilled the Old Testament and proclaimed about what was fulfilled. 
However, Israel did not realize what kind of situation they were in and they thought they were the righteous, chosen people. 
Jesus and the disciples, who had come into this kind of world, promised what is stated below and were killed. 
 
< The promise for the Second Coming:  Jesus said he would come like a thief in the night and harvest (Mt 24). 
He said those who are harvested would be sealed in the name of God and Jesus (Rv 7). 
He said God's kingdom, the twelve tribes, would be created through those who are sealed (Rv 14). 
He said if anyone adds to or takes words away from the words of Revelation, he would not be able to enter heaven and be cursed (Rv 22:18-19). 
He said only those whose names are recorded in the book of life are able to enter heaven (Rv 21:27). 
 He said the one who overcomes Satan's pastor would receive the blessings of Rv 2 and 3 (Rv 12). >
 
Who is the true believer--the one who believes in this word of prophecy or the one who doesn't believe?
What is stated above is one of the most epoch-making and important content of the New Testament that gives hope to the believers.
These prophecies have been fulfilled today in the Republic of Korea.  "I have proclaimed it." 
I have seen and heard the fulfillment, and I am testifying about the physical fulfillment of the prophecies as I have been commanded. 
Are those who persecute someone because that person is testifying about these things believers or the devil?
Are they God's pastors or the devil's pastors?  Please judge for yourself. 
Are they not like the false pastors who killed the prophets and apostles?  Why do they not believe? 
Is it not proof that they do not believe in God or His Word (New Testament) (Rv 21:8)?
Are they not like the priests and elders of Israel who did not believe even if Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and testified about it (Lk 18:8; Rv 9:20-21)?
Are they not the same as those who persecuted Jesus and labeled Jesus a cult?
Will these people go to hell or to heaven?
It is written that people will be judged according to their deeds as written in the books.  Please read Rv 20:12-15 and Jn 12:48.  These things are happening right before our very eyes. 
It is sad to see the false pastors, who are captured by the devil, and it is also sad to see the believers, who are captured by Babylon, the devil's kingdom, and do not know this fact. 
If they do not believe in the Bible, why do they carry it around?  It is a sad situation.  They are blind!
 
The chosen people, whose citizenship was in heaven (Phil 3:20) and who were referred to as the sun, moon, and stars of spiritual Israel (Mt 24:29; Rv 6:12-13), became dark and fell from heaven. The reason for this is because they were destroyed by Satan's pastor (Mt 24:15).  The reason why the sun and moon (pastor) could no longer shine light (Word) was because they were struck (Rv 8:12) by Satan's pastor's authority.  To say they fell from heaven means that they went from being the citizen of heaven as a result of the Holy Spirit to returning to the earth, that is, the flesh and becoming a part of Babylon's group.  It means they were captured and enslaved (Rv 17, 18). 
This is how the life of faith within spiritual Israel became like the night.  When it becomes like the night, Jesus comes with the angels and harvests.  They come like a thief in the night to gentile Babylon where the believers are captured and quietly bring people out from there.  This is the work of salvation and harvesting.  Please read 1 Thes 5:2; Rv 17:14 and Rv 18:4.  This is why Jesus harvests like a thief in the night. 
If one truly believes in Jesus and his words of promise, one should realize that the promise has been fulfilled when he hears about the news regarding the work of harvesting and come running.  "Those who believe in the New Testament"
The reason why one doesn't come running is because he doesn't believe in the promise. 
Anyone who hears about the work of harvesting, sealing, and the creation of the promised kingdom, the twelve tribes, realizes that the promised prophecies are coming true, and believes in this would come running. 
 
Those who do not believe nor come and instead persecute do this because they have become the devil's kingdom, Babylon.  Although they add to or take words away from Revelation and do no not have their names recorded in the book of life, they do not consider this seriously and think of themselves as orthodox.  This is proof that their lives of faith are false.  If they heard that the New Testament prophecies have been fulfilled, they should put everything aside and come looking for the fulfillment.  This is what a believer should do.  Isn't this what believers hoped for and isn't this why believers carried out their lives of faith?
How can a dead life of faith and a dead spirit regard this as precious?  "It is so heartbreaking." 
 
As the pastors and the people of physical Israel, which had become gentile, did not believe even if Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and proclaimed about it, today, the reason why the pastors and the church members do not believe is because a different water has been mixed.  "Please take a look at Is 1:22."
God gave offered his Son on the cross for the new kingdom of the New Testament.  Jesus, the Son, sacrificed himself and shed his blood.  This was proclaimed for two thousand years and the promised kingdom has been fulfilled as mentioned above.  We are raising our voices and asking people to believe this (refer to Rv 5:4-10). 
If people do not believe like the First Coming, then God, Jesus, and the spirits will strike the ground and wail. 
 
Let us believe.  Let us unite.  Let us become the promised kingdom.  "The Counselor is crying out."
We at Shinchonji know the reality of each generation through the Spirit of Truth, who comes in the name of the Lord, and this is why we are teaching again through the Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced Level teaching materials.
For those who have not been harvested, we help them to be harvested.  For those who have not been sealed, we help them to be sealed.  For those who have added to or taken words away from Revelation, we help them not to do so.  For those who are not a part of the promised kingdom, the twelve tribes, we help them to become a part of the twelve tribes.  For those whose names have not been recorded in the book of life, we help them to have their names recorded in the book of life. 
Should we call Shinchonji, who is doing this work, a cult?  Or should we thank them?
Is there anything more precious than this for a believer?
We have sent letters urging repentance and making the facts listed above known to pastors in Korea and all over the world, and therefore, they will not be able to make an excuse by saying they did not hear about it on judgment day (refer to Jn 15:22). 
The words of the messenger, who speaks on behalf of Jesus, are the words of Jesus, and the words of Jesus are the words of God, the Father (Jn 16:8-15). 
 
The words that were testified were the promised words of Revelation; that is, life was conveyed.  If one does not believe, it does not mean one does not believe in the messenger, who speaks on behalf of Jesus.  It means one does not believe in Jesus' words, that is, one does not believe in God's words. 
Those who believe will receive salvation.  Those who do not believe will be thrown into the lake of fire as a result of the sin of not believing. 
Shinchonji earnestly prays that people will believe and receive salvation. 
 
Amen!

[Shinchonji] Are we too good to fall?

I saw this brilliant little animation the other day on YouTube made by a man named David Lisbe.
While it is quite amusing, and not entirely the situation described in the Bible regarding the fall of Satan, I couldn’t help but be reminded of that situation when watching the smug pride of the angel guarding heaven’s gates. Satan “grew fat” on his own beauty and perfection and his arrogance became so great that he even thought he could ascend higher than God. People who reject God’s word do so because they hold their own words and opinions in higher regard, which is what Satan did as well. (Gen 3:2-5, Deut 32:15, Is 14:12-15) It goes to show us that although we were created with the purpose of being made in God’s image and dwelling with God, if we do not know his words, and keep humbly testing them, following them, and being obedient to them, there are many factors Satan presents that can prevent us from fulfilling God’s will for our lives.
Although you are standing firmly and feel as if you know and have all truth, watch out that he does not deceive you (Mt 24:4) and watch out that you do not fall (1 Cor 10:12)… even God’s most prized creation, his “right hand man,” fell when he stopped honoring God’s will and word. Test every word according to Scripture alone! (Job 34:3, 1Jn 4:1, Act 17:11, Mt 12:33, Deut 18:21-22, Acts 5:38-40) We have to overcome with the truth and always remember that arrogance and pride are blinding.

Revelation 3: 17: You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
1 Peter 5: 6: Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Philippians 2: 3: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
