The "Heavenly Exam": 7,400+ Believers in Busan Challenge Themselves with Bible Memorization

While many are moving away from religious texts, one community in Busan is doing the exact opposite. The Shincheonji Andrew Tribe recently held its "Heavenly Exam" (Cheonguk-gosi) , a rigorous test focused on memorizing and understanding the Book of Revelation. Why the "Heavenly Exam"?   This isn't just about grades. It's about a "spiritual reset." After seeing a massive 3-fold increase in participants compared to last year, over 7,459 believers sat for the exam on March 28th. The goal? To embed the Word of God into their daily lives and build a faith that isn't just a weekend hobby, but a lifestyle. Real People, Real Change: For Young Professionals: Like 29-year-old Park Jung-won, who memorized verses during his commute. "It helped me build a habit of self-discipline and reflection," he says.

Shincheonji Donghae Church Dedicates New Sanctuary with a Grand Worship Service

A historic moment unfolded in Donghae, a city known as the "Land of Sunrise," as Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, held a dedication service for its new sanctuary. The service, attended by 1,600 members, was further blessed by the presence of Chairman Lee Man-hee, who delivered an inspiring message on the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation.


The Importance of Understanding Revelation

During his sermon, Chairman Lee emphasized that the Book of Revelation is not a mystery to remain hidden but a prophecy that has now been fulfilled. He explained that faith should not be based on blind belief but on confirming the actual events that have taken place according to the Bible.

He stated, "Revelation is not to be interpreted arbitrarily. It must be understood as it is, through the testimony of the one who has seen and heard its fulfillment." He also pointed out that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies during his first coming, and today, Revelation is being fulfilled, marking the completion of God’s work.


A Church That Continues to Grow

Shincheonji Donghae Church was established in 1989 with only four members. Over the past 36 years, the church has grown tremendously, now boasting over 1,600 members. This remarkable growth is attributed to its clear and precise teachings on the fulfillment of Revelation and the entire Bible.

The dedication service was a moment of joy and gratitude, with members welcoming Chairman Lee with pink balloons and warm smiles. Many attendees expressed their deep appreciation for receiving the testimony of fulfilled prophecy firsthand.

One member shared, "Hearing the message directly from Chairman Lee strengthened my faith and gave me a renewed sense of purpose in spreading the truth of God's Word."


Shining the True Light in the World

Chairman Lee encouraged believers to fully understand Revelation, live according to God’s Word, and shine as the true light of the world. He urged, "We must correct what is wrong and work together to restore the world with the truth, becoming eternal lights that glorify God."

As Shincheonji Church continues to grow, it remains dedicated to sharing the truth of the Bible and guiding believers to the path of true faith. With the dedication of the new sanctuary, Donghae Church is set to be a beacon of hope and truth for many more to come.
