International Concern Grows Over South Korea's Detention of 95-Year-Old Religious Leader

The recent detention and prosecution of Chairman Lee Man-hee, the 95-year-old leader of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, has sparked intense scrutiny from international human rights and religious freedom organizations. Legal experts and sociologists worldwide are raising critical questions regarding South Korea’s adherence to global human rights standards and the principle of state neutrality. The Controversy Surrounding the Detention On June 24, 2026, South Korean authorities took Chairman Lee into custody on charges related to the Political Parties Act, followed by a formal indictment on June 30. Prosecutors allege that between July 2021 and January 2024, the church organized the enrollment of approximately 50,000 members into the ruling People Power Party (PPP) to influence internal primaries. However, the legal dispute does not center on party membership itself, but on whether coercion was involved. While prosecutors allege a forced campaign, Shincheonji Church maintains that all p...

The True Identities of the Tree of Life, the Tree of the Fruit of Good and Evil, the Serpent, and of Adam


God ​​created ​heaven, ​earth, ​and ​all creation, He established ​a garden in ​Eden in the ​east, and ​He ​made man, ​that is, male and female, ​and put them ​there. ​Moreover, ​He ​​told ​those ​people ​to ​be fruitful, increase in ​number, fill the ​earth, and subdue ​it, and ​He ​gave all ​of creation to Adam and ​told him to ​rule ​over ​it. ​​In ​the ​middle ​of ​this Garden of Eden ​were the tree ​of life, the ​tree of ​the ​fruit of ​good and evil (the tree ​of the knowledge ​of ​good ​and ​​evil), ​and ​all ​kinds ​of trees. God told ​Adam, “You can ​freely take and ​eat the ​fruit ​of any ​tree in the garden, but ​do not take ​and ​eat ​the ​​fruit ​of ​the ​tree ​of the fruit of ​good and evil ​in the middle,” ​and He ​warned, ​“On the ​day you eat of it, ​you will surely ​die.”

Yet ​one ​day, ​​the ​wild ​serpent ​came ​to Eve and asked, ​“Did God really ​say ‘you must ​not eat ​from ​any tree ​in the Garden?’” Then, Eve ​answered the serpent, ​“God ​did ​say, ​​‘You ​must ​not ​eat ​fruit from the tree ​that is in ​the middle of ​the garden, ​and ​you must ​not touch it, or you ​will die.’” To ​this, ​the ​serpent ​​said ​to ​Eve, ​“You ​will not surely die. ​For God knows ​that when you ​eat of ​it ​your eyes ​will be opened, and you ​will be like ​God, ​knowing ​good ​​and ​evil.” ​When ​Eve ​saw that the fruit ​of the tree ​was good for ​food and ​pleasing ​to the ​eye, and also desirable for ​gaining wisdom, she ​took ​some ​and ​​ate ​it. ​She ​also ​gave some to her ​husband, who was ​with her, and ​he ate ​it. ​Then the ​eyes of both of them ​were opened, and ​they ​realized ​they ​​were ​naked; ​so ​they ​sewed fig leaves together ​and made coverings ​for themselves. Then, ​they were ​frightened ​when they ​heard the sound (voice) of ​God and they ​hid. ​

As ​seen ​​in ​Rv ​18:2-3 ​and ​14, the chosen people ​(the fruit Babylon ​longed for) who ​were captives ​in ​Babylon, which ​made all nations fall with ​the wine of ​adulteries, ​left ​from ​​there ​and ​Babylon ​was ​judged, but the tree ​of life in ​Rv 22:1-5 is ​bearing twelve ​crops ​of fruit ​every month. This is the ​reality at the ​time ​of ​Revelation’s ​​fulfillment.

Babylon, ​in ​which ​all ​kinds of denominations (religious ​bodies) have become ​one, is the ​tree of ​the ​fruit of ​good and evil, and it ​has met its ​end, ​but ​Shincheonji ​​has ​become ​the ​tree ​of life that bears ​twelve crops of ​fruit every month. ​However, Protestants ​today ​do not ​know the present reality despite ​seeing this, so ​it ​seems ​that ​​their ​lives ​of ​faith ​have been dead for ​a long time. ​The curtain of ​the history ​of ​the Bible, ​which began with the fruit ​of the tree ​of ​life ​and ​​the ​fruit ​of ​the ​tree of the fruit ​of good and ​evil, came to ​a close ​by ​God’s will ​and objective being fulfilled in ​Revelation. Although [we] ​are ​all ​the ​​same ​people ​and ​carry ​out [our] lives of ​faith with the ​same Bible, why ​do [they] ​not ​know despite ​seeing [this]? It is because ​the devil covered ​their ​eyes. ​Try ​​and ​verify ​who ​between ​Shincheonji and the Protestant ​Church is eating ​the fruit of ​the tree ​of ​life and ​who is eating the fruit ​of the tree ​of ​the ​fruit ​​of ​good ​and ​evil.

At ​the time of the ​first coming, Jesus ​spoke of the ​secrets of ​the ​kingdom of ​heaven in parables. Today, however, ​[we] have come ​to ​the ​era ​​of ​Revelation, ​and ​God ​made known the secrets ​of the kingdom ​of heaven and ​the secrets ​of ​the devil ​of Babylon, and He even ​made known their ​actual ​entities. ​Moreover, ​​He ​also ​made ​known ​the tree of life.

Now, ​let us organize ​the true identities ​of the ​tree ​of life, ​the tree of the fruit ​of good and ​evil, ​the ​serpent, ​​and ​of ​Adam. ​The ​tree of life is ​the pastor who ​has the word ​of life ​and ​his organization, ​and the tree of the ​fruit of good ​and ​evil ​is ​​the ​false ​pastor ​who ​made all nations fall ​with falsehood and ​his organization. Furthermore, ​the serpent ​is ​the deceiver ​the dragon, that is, the ​devil and Satan, ​and ​Adam ​is ​​the ​one ​who ​was ​the pastor of the ​chosen people whom ​God chose, but ​who betrayed. ​
