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...

Faith in the Promise and the Objective of a Life of Faith



There ​​is ​nothing false in the words of ​the ​Bible. ​God fulfilled everything ​according ​to ​the ​promises in ​the Bible. Thus, we believe ​in ​the promises ​in the Bible. ​Moreover, ​​all ​believers in Christianity, whoever it may ​be, ​carry ​out their lives ​of ​faith ​in ​order to ​gain the kingdom of heaven ​and ​eternal life. The ​book of Revelation ​is ​​the ​last promise that God will fulfill. ​Since ​Adam ​until now, in ​this ​world ​a ​war between ​God and the devil has ​been ​taking place. ​A war also ​takes ​​place ​at this time of Revelation’s fulfillment, ​and ​God’s ​kingdom is re-created ​due ​to ​God ​being victorious ​in this war. This last ​work, ​Revelation, has ​been approximately 80-90% ​fulfilled. ​​Do ​you see, hear, and believe? The ​most ​important ​things in this ​Revelation ​are ​the ​appointment of ​the promised pastor, who is ​the ​one who ​speaks on Jesus’ ​behalf, ​​the ​work of harvesting those born of ​God’s ​seed, ​the work of ​sealing, ​and ​the ​work of ​creating the 12 tribes. Today, ​the ​new work ​of the creation ​of ​​the ​12 tribes of Shincheonji has been ​fulfilled. ​What ​remains now is ​the ​judgment ​of ​Babylon, the ​kingdom of demons that deceived ​all ​nations. As ​for this judgment, ​God ​​does ​the judgment Himself. Therefore, believers must ​verify: ​Who ​am I according ​to ​the ​New ​Testament Bible? ​Have I truly been created ​according ​to the ​New Testament Bible? ​Aren’t ​​these ​words correct? Have you been born ​of ​God’s ​seed? If one ​has ​been ​born ​of God’s ​seed, then God’s seed would ​be ​in his ​heart; if one ​has ​​been ​harvested, then he would be in ​the ​144,000 ​of the 12 ​tribes ​in ​Rv ​14 and ​7; if one has been ​sealed, ​then his ​name would be ​written ​​on ​the list (register) of the 12 ​tribes, ​the ​promised kingdom. False ​believers ​are ​those ​for whom ​these three things do not ​apply. ​Of course, ​they will be ​thrown ​​into ​the fiery lake of burning sulfur ​at ​the ​time of judgment. Why ​do ​you ​not ​believe in ​the word of promise? The ​congregation ​members of ​the traditional churches, ​which ​​are ​the subjects of the kingdom, have ​completely ​added ​to and subtracted ​from ​the ​book ​of Revelation. ​Hence, they did not become ​a ​part of ​the 12 tribes ​of ​​the ​promised kingdom. Are these words not ​facts? ​It ​says that if ​one ​adds ​to ​or subtracts ​from this book, Revelation, then ​he ​will enter ​the fires of ​hell. ​​[The ​members of] Shincheonji have been born ​of ​God’s ​seed, have been ​harvested, ​have ​been ​sealed, and ​have been registered in the ​12 ​tribes. The ​congregation members of ​the ​​traditional ​churches will be burned in hell ​after ​only ​persecuting just like ​at ​the ​time ​of Jesus’ ​first coming. In the 6,000 ​years ​of Biblical ​history to today, ​those ​​who ​have received the spirit of the ​devil ​have ​consistently been habitually ​persecuting ​every ​time ​God’s work ​takes place. Are these words ​not ​facts? The ​price for not ​believing ​​despite ​Revelation, the word of promise, being ​fulfilled ​is ​the fiery lake. ​ True ​believers ​believe ​in the ​promises in the Bible, and ​the ​objective for ​a life of ​faith ​​is ​the kingdom of heaven and eternal ​life. ​Shincheonji ​believes in the ​promises ​in ​the ​New Covenant ​Revelation, it has been sealed ​with ​the revealed ​word, and it ​is ​​singing ​the new song on Mount Zion, ​which ​is ​the place of ​salvation. ​I ​mean, ​the new ​song in Rv 14:1-3. This ​is ​the new ​song that no ​one ​​other ​than the sealed 144,000 of the ​12 ​tribes ​knows. Amen.
