The Shincheonji Bible Seminar in Chuncheon gathered pastors, monks, and citizens to discuss Revelation, peace, and religious harmony through Bible-centered dialogue.
I arrived at the Shincheonji Bible Seminar in Chuncheon earlier than expected, but the lobby of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus Philip Tribe church was already filled with people. Some carried Bibles tightly in their arms while others quietly exchanged greetings. What caught my attention first was not simply the crowd, but the unusual atmosphere. Pastors, monks, and ordinary citizens were standing in the same space naturally talking together.
The phrase displayed across the stage read “Testimony on the Fulfillment of Revelation.” As someone who had heard many opinions about Revelation before, I became curious about what kind of explanation would be shared directly at this Shincheonji Bible Seminar.
A Seminar Focused on Revelation
Listening Carefully to the Testimony About Revelation
When Chairman Man Hee Lee began speaking, the atmosphere inside the hall changed noticeably. He repeatedly emphasized Revelation 22:18-19 and said that people must know both the prophecy and its fulfilled reality in order not to add to or subtract from Revelation.
What remained most strongly in my memory was the repeated use of the word “reality.” Chairman Man Hee Lee explained Revelation chapter by chapter and spoke about the actual fulfillment of the prophecies. Many attendees opened their Bibles immediately whenever a chapter was mentioned. Some took notes continuously without even looking up from their notebooks.
At several moments, Chairman Man Hee Lee asked whether anyone had personally seen the fulfilled entities of Revelation. The hall became completely quiet each time. That silence itself strangely made the atmosphere feel even more serious.
Questions That Continued in My Mind
As I listened, one thought stayed with me repeatedly: “Have I ever truly tried to confirm Revelation for myself?” The seminar constantly returned to the importance of checking the Bible directly rather than relying only on hearsay or fixed opinions.
Chairman Man Hee Lee also spoke strongly about openly verifying doctrine, saying that truth should be examined publicly through Scripture itself. The audience reacted quietly but attentively, and many nodded while following the verses.
A Place Where Religions Gathered Together
Conversations Beyond Religious Boundaries
One of the most unforgettable parts of the event was the atmosphere before and after the lecture. In the waiting areas, pastors and monks introduced themselves to one another naturally. It did not feel tense or confrontational. Instead, there was visible curiosity and openness.
An official from the Philip Tribe described the event as a “scene of peace where religions become one.” Hearing that while watching people from different religious backgrounds exchange greetings made the statement feel less like a slogan and more like the atmosphere unfolding in front of me.
The seminar hall itself reflected that mood. Applause and laughter appeared naturally during moments of discussion, especially during the second session where religious leaders participated in quizzes and conversations about unity and coexistence.
Flowers and a Symbolic Moment
Near the end of the event, pastors who had signed Bible exchange MOU agreements with Shincheonji Church and a monk participating in Bible education presented flowers to Chairman Man Hee Lee. They spoke about gratitude for learning Revelation and expressed hopes for religious harmony and peace.
The moment they held hands together for a commemorative photo drew long applause from the audience. Watching that scene from the audience seats, I felt that many people were less focused on arguments and more focused on conversation and understanding.
Reactions From Religious Leaders
“We Should Listen First”
Several pastors shared that their perceptions had changed after attending directly. One pastor from Wonju said that hearing the seminar in person felt very different from what he had heard outside before coming.
Another pastor explained that it was important to confirm teachings through the Bible itself regardless of denominational differences. A first-time attendee also said that rather than labeling something without knowledge, he felt it was necessary to come and listen directly.
The reactions from monks were also memorable. One monk participating in the Bible exchange program said that lowering religious barriers begins with understanding one another’s scriptures through dialogue.
As these conversations continued throughout the venue, the Shincheonji Bible Seminar felt less like a one-sided lecture and more like a place where people gathered to ask questions together about Revelation, faith, and peace.

Leaving the seminar hall in Chuncheon, I kept thinking about how unusual the atmosphere had felt from beginning to end. Different religious leaders sat together, opened the Bible together, and discussed Revelation together.
Whether agreeing or questioning, many attendees seemed united in one thing: the desire to confirm Scripture personally. That may have been the strongest impression left by this Shincheonji Bible Seminar at the Shincheonji Church of Jesus.
