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. For Seniors: Like 72-year-old Kim Soon-bok, who stayed up late to study. "Memorizing keeps my mind focused and elevates my meditation...

84 Churches in Ethiopia Embrace Shincheonji: A Milestone in Spreading Revelation

On September 10, a remarkable event unfolded in Ethiopia: 84 local churches officially changed their signs to read “Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

At the ceremony, held under the Peter Tribe of Shincheonji, each church’s representative pastor declared that both they and their congregations were now committed to living as members of Shincheonji. The symbolic act of changing church signs was more than a physical transformation—it was a public declaration of unity under the words of Revelation.

A Commitment to Revelation

The 84 participating pastors expressed their determination with one voice:

“We will spread the words of Revelation throughout Ethiopia and ensure that pastors and believers alike follow only the truth.”

This moment is seen as a turning point not just for the individual churches, but for the Ethiopian faith community as a whole.

From Korea to Ethiopia: The Spark That Began the Movement

The movement traces back to November 2024, when Pastor Asefa Angeto, chairman of the Misgana Church Association, attended Shincheonji’s “2nd International Revelation Seminar” in Cheongju, South Korea.

Upon returning to Ethiopia, Pastor Asefa traveled across 10 cities, holding Revelation seminars and sharing what he had learned. His efforts bore fruit—culminating in this historic gathering where 84 churches boldly aligned themselves with Shincheonji.

Ongoing Growth

According to Shincheonji representatives, 181 Ethiopian pastors are currently studying the words of Revelation through Shincheonji’s systematic education program. The vision is clear: to spread the reality of the fulfillment of Revelation and to unite churches worldwide in the truth of God’s Word.

A New Chapter for the Ethiopian Church

Observers note that this development goes far beyond a name change. It signals a broader transformation—one where churches in Ethiopia are moving away from tradition-bound divisions and toward a shared, Bible-centered identity.

For many, this is not just about religion, but about hope, conviction, and a renewed commitment to the Scriptures. The message of Revelation, once considered mysterious and inaccessible, is now becoming a guiding light for churches and believers across the nation.
