SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, Dec. 23, 2024: The Chairman of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus emphasizes the fulfillment of biblical prophecies, stating that Jesus, during the First Coming, both realized the Old Testament and foretold the New Testament. He bore the sins of humanity and promised his return, yet faced rejection and persecution from those who claimed to believe, highlighting a significant historical reality.
Chairman Lee Man-hee asserts that just as Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament, he is committed to fulfilling the New Testament. He warns of upcoming persecution during the Second Coming, cautioning that those who oppose the true message will often be those within the faith. Notably, he refers to the warning against altering the Book of Revelation, which threatens those who modify its content with curses, a message that has been overlooked for nearly 2,000 years.
This reality, according to Chairman Lee, persists as many Christian leaders misinterpret the Book of Revelation, misleading their congregations while claiming to understand its teachings. The true shepherd sent by God, as described in the scriptures, has witnessed and comprehended the events outlined in Revelation and boldly declares their fulfillment. Despite this, many continue to reject his testimony, likening him to a heretic, further illustrating the current turmoil within the religious community.
The prophetic visions within Revelation depict a world of betrayal, destruction, and salvation. As these prophecies come to life, distinct groups emerge—betrayers, destroyers, and saviors—each participating in a profound spiritual battle. Ultimately, those who align with the victorious group are promised eternal life in the kingdom of heaven.
As we navigate this transformative era defined by the new covenant, understanding both the prophecy and its fulfillment within Revelation becomes crucial for spiritual salvation. The Chairman urges individuals to listen to and believe the testimony of the promised shepherd, emphasizing that this is a vital step toward achieving salvation.
