Shincheonji’s Lee Man-hee: Unveiling God's True Family Through the 12 Tribes

In a recent sermon delivered at the Ashan Church of Shincheonji, Man Hee Lee the Chairman of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, emphasized a pivotal message : the concept of the "12 Tribes" as the true family of God. His sermon, which was delivered to a vibrant congregation of over a thousand believers, touched on the themes of biblical prophecy, salvation, and the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation.

The 12 Tribes: God's Chosen Family

Chairman Lee began by affirming that those who are sealed with the mark of God and are registered among the 12 tribes, as described in the Book of Revelation, are part of God's true family. "Only those whose names are written in the Book of Life can enter the Kingdom of Heaven," he explained, stressing the importance of understanding and fulfilling the promises outlined in Revelation. According to Lee, the 12 Tribes, marked in Revelation chapters 7 and 14, are the chosen people who will inherit eternal life.

This idea aligns with Shincheonji's unique interpretation of biblical prophecy, where the fulfillment of Revelation's promises is not symbolic but a literal and spiritual reality. Chairmna Lee made it clear that those who have "the mark" and are registered in the 12 Tribes are the ones who will be with God when He returns to His holy city.

The Revelation of the Sealed 12 Tribes

According to the Chairman Lee, the time has come for God's plan, as foretold in the Book of Revelation, to come to fruition. The 12 Tribes, which represent the new kingdom of God, are not just a spiritual concept but a living reality within Shincheonji. "The 12 Tribes are God's new nation, established on the earth today," he asserted. For Shincheonji, the sealing of the 12 Tribes is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, making it an essential part of understanding God’s plan for the world.

Chairman emphasized that the current age of Revelation's fulfillment brings with it judgment and salvation. "Anyone who distorts or adds to the words of Revelation," he said, "will be excluded from the new Kingdom and will face the consequences of judgment." This warning serves as a call to those who wish to follow God’s path to accept the true teachings of Revelation, which Shincheonji believes to have fully understood and realized.

The Tree of Life and the Marked Tribes

In his sermon, Chairman spoke of the "Tree of Life" in Revelation, which produces twelve kinds of fruit, one for each month, and whose leaves heal the nations. This tree, according to Shincheonji’s teachings, represents the 12 Tribes of the sealed ones—the only group that can receive salvation in the fulfillment of Revelation.

The concept of the Tree of Life is central to Shincheonji’s understanding of salvation. Chairman explained that the Twelve Tribes are the only ones who will bear fruit from the Tree of Life, emphasizing that salvation is reserved for those who are part of the 12 Tribes, which are described in the Book of Revelation. Chairman stressed the importance of understanding and fulfilling the teachings of Revelation to achieve salvation.

A Call to Test the Truth

Chairman also challenged the broader Christian community to engage in open, public Bible exams to verify the true interpretation of Revelation. "We have offered to conduct public Bible exams with Protestant and Catholic leaders to demonstrate who is truly following the Bible’s teachings," he stated. However, he lamented that these leaders have not accepted the invitation and that the refusal to engage in such a test only strengthens the case that Shincheonji is faithfully following God's word while others are distorting it.

This public invitation to a Bible test reflects Shincheonji’s belief in transparency and their readiness to prove the validity of their teachings. In Chairman Lee's eyes, those who do not engage in this open examination and who continue to label Shincheonji as a heretic are not only failing to follow the truth but are also hindering others from experiencing the fullness of God’s revelation.

A Message of Hope Amid Persecution

Despite the persecution that Shincheonji faces from some Christian groups, Chairman remains resolute in his message. He explained that those who are persecuted for following the truth are the ones who will be rewarded with eternal life. "Just as the early Christians were persecuted, so too will those who are true to God’s word face challenges in today’s world," he noted. "But the Kingdom of Heaven is reserved for those who persevere and hold steadfast to God’s truth, even in the face of adversity."

In closing, he encouraged all believers to strive for humility and repentance, reminding them that only those who accept the true teachings of the Bible and align themselves with the 12 Tribes will receive salvation. He urged both Catholic and Protestant communities to drop their pride and take part in a public Bible exam, as only those who are aligned with God’s true family will have access to eternal life.

A New Era of Revelation

Chairman Lee's message is clear: the time has come for the fulfillment of Revelation, and the 12 Tribes represent the key to understanding God’s ultimate plan for the world. For those seeking salvation, it is essential to recognize the importance of the sealed 12 Tribes, the Tree of Life, and the need to follow the true teachings of Revelation. In a world filled with religious confusion, Shincheonji offers a path of clarity—one that is rooted in the Bible’s unaltered truths.

As the Shincheonji Church of Jesus continues to grow globally, Lee's teachings are spreading far beyond South Korea. His message is one of hope, clarity, and an invitation to join God's true family through the understanding and fulfillment of Revelation. Through this movement, Shincheonji is calling on believers worldwide to embrace the reality of God’s Kingdom, as foretold in the Bible, and be part of the 12 Tribes that will inherit eternal life.
