Chairman Man Hee Lee's Visit to Jinhae: A Testament to the New Era of Faith
On February 19, despite the chilly weather, the atmosphere at Shincheonji Church of Jesus’ Jinhae congregation was filled with warmth and enthusiasm. Hundreds of believers gathered early to attend the service led by Chairman Man Hee Lee, a testament to the growing interest in his teachings and the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
Chairman Lee, now in his 90s, continues to travel across the country, delivering messages of hope and biblical truth. His latest visit to Jinhae follows stops in Busan and Jecheon, reinforcing the importance of understanding the Book of Revelation and its fulfillment. During his sermon, he emphasized that the prophecies in Revelation are not mere words but are being fulfilled today. He urged believers to hold firm to their faith, stating, “We must not add or take away from God’s word. The truth must be fully understood and practiced.”
The Rise of a Young and Vibrant Faith Community
One of the most striking aspects of Shincheonji’s growth is the active participation of young believers. In contrast to the aging congregations of many traditional churches, the Jinhae church was filled with members in their 20s to 40s. This shift has caught the attention of religious scholars and pastors worldwide, leading to over 700 churches in South Korea and 11,427 churches in 90 countries forming partnerships with Shincheonji.
A local pastor commented, “Shincheonji is not just expanding in numbers; it is offering a faith-based alternative that is centered on the Word. If traditional churches fail to address their declining congregations, Shincheonji’s influence will only continue to grow.”
A Clear Message: The Fulfillment of Revelation
During the service, Chairman Lee reiterated the importance of understanding the fulfillment of Revelation. He explained that this is the era where biblical prophecies are becoming reality. “When Revelation is fulfilled, everything that has continued since Adam’s time will come to an end. Only those who are harvested and belong to the 12 tribes can attain eternal life,” he emphasized.
He also challenged religious leaders to examine the evidence for themselves. “Rather than criticizing blindly, pastors should confirm whether the testimony of Shincheonji is true. We testify to the realities of all 22 chapters of Revelation.”
Transforming Lives Through the Word
The service concluded with an outpouring of joy as attendees lifted their hearts in worship. Many believers shared their personal testimonies, reflecting on how Shincheonji’s teachings had answered their long-held questions about faith.
A longtime believer, who grew up in a traditional Christian household, shared, “I always had questions about Revelation, but no church could give me clear answers. There are so many misconceptions about Shincheonji, but after studying, I realized that this is the truth. Here, the Word is truly alive.”
Another attendee, a former military officer, expressed his gratitude for the peace that faith in Shincheonji has brought him. “Surviving a battlefield made me realize that my life was in God’s hands. Now, I want to be part of the movement that spreads the message of true peace.”
A Growing Church Rooted in Community
Since its establishment in 1997 with just 20 members, the Jinhae congregation has grown nearly 50 times, now boasting over 1,000 members. This growth is fueled not just by the depth of biblical teaching but also by the church’s active role in community service. From volunteer initiatives to social outreach programs, Shincheonji is making a tangible impact, helping to change perceptions and spread the message of faith and unity.
As Chairman Man Hee Lee continues his mission, his unwavering dedication serves as a inspiration for believers around the world. His message is clear—this is the time of fulfillment, and those who seek the truth must come and see for themselves.
