“I have never experienced such warm and open dialogue before.”
These were the words of a religious leader who joined the 3rd Global Invitation Revelation Seminar in Korea—a four-day international event that proved that peace through Scripture is not only possible, but already happening.
Hosted by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Man Hee Lee), the seminar took place from October 30 to November 2, gathering more than 1,000 participants, including 440 religious leaders from 59 countries.
Revelation: The Common Language of Truth and Peace
First launched in 2024, the Global Invitation Revelation Seminar is an international exchange program centered on the prophecies and fulfillment recorded in the Book of Revelation.
Over the past three seminars, it has expanded rapidly to become a world platform for inter-religious dialogue and cooperation.
During this 3rd seminar, representatives of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Confucianism joined side by side to study Revelation and share insights from their own scriptures. Many testified that through Shincheonji’s clear teaching of prophecy and fulfillment, they could see the power of the Word that transcends religions.
Venerable Yulryeoseongwon of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism said,
“I now understand why Shincheonji continues to grow—it is the power of the Word itself. This truth is the path that unites humanity beyond religious walls.”
From Eswatini, Islamic leader Mohamed Usman described Shincheonji’s program as “a perfect curriculum that delivers both peace and truth.”
Learning, Worship, and Dialogue—A Shared Experience
The seminar was filled with moments of joy, reflection, and discovery.
Participants joined in praise and prayer sessions, a Bible OX quiz called “The Way to Heaven,” a Scripture-based play titled “Time Travel through the Bible,” and a round-table discussion on spreading a culture of peace.
A Buddhist abbot commented,
“What I witnessed here would be unthinkable elsewhere—a monk teaching from the Bible and Shincheonji members freely discussing Buddhism. It was a time of learning and genuine connection.”
A Presbyterian pastor added,
“Through cultural exchange and dialogue, we are discovering shared values and hope for unity.”
Putting Peace into Action
The closing ceremony at Shincheonji Peace Training Center in Cheongpyeong brought together over 1,000 participants who stood as one, declaring their commitment to peace. Among the highlights was a presentation from Venerable Sok Bunteun, Director of the Department of Higher Buddhist Education under Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture and Religion.
After attending the 2nd seminar, he had organized a Revelation lecture at his own temple, where 850 leaders and officials participated and 215 signed a Peace Pledge.
He announced that a new Religious Peace Education Camp will launch in January 2026 to continue this cooperation.
At the finale, all participating leaders read a declaration of commitment to share peace and truth and to guide humanity toward salvation through understanding of the Word.
“Let Us Uphold the Values of Truth and Peace”
Chairman Man Hee Lee encouraged the gathered leaders to remember the essence of true faith:
“Let us reflect on the past when religions condemned one another and strayed from God’s will.
Now we must keep the fundamental values of truth and peace, becoming spiritual leaders who bring light to the world.”
He emphasized that through ongoing dialogue and communication, “we can achieve God’s hope and our hope—peace.”
From Understanding to Harmony
The 3rd Global Invitation Revelation Seminar showed that when the Scriptures are opened and shared, hearts open too.
Through the Word, religious leaders who once stood apart found common ground—proof that Revelation holds not division, but reconciliation.
