The 116th Zion Christian Mission Center Graduation Ceremony held at Cheongju Church.

“We have mastered the Book of Revelation”… Shincheonji produces 60,000 graduates The 116th Zion Christian Mission Center Graduation Ceremony held at Cheongju Church 2,248 pastor graduates… Over 13,500 pastors in four years “I have mastered the Book of Revelation. At Shincheonji, I came to understand Revelation, which neither seminaries nor churches could explain.” Tens of thousands of believers who had struggled in their faith due to a lack of understanding of the Bible once again flocked to Shincheonji this year, pouring out such confessions at the graduation ceremony site. The Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Man Hee Lee, hereafter referred to as the Shincheonji Church of Jesus), announced on the 2nd that it held the 116th Zion Christian Mission Center Graduation Ceremony at Shincheonji Cheongju Church, producing 59,192 graduates. They are evaluated as “believers who have mastered the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation.” The Zion Christian Mission Center teaches the entire Bible systematically, focusing on prophecy and fulfillment, the will of God, and the flow of the Scriptures. To graduate, students must complete all three stages—elementary, intermediate, and advanced—and score 90 points or higher on a comprehensive test. Chairman Man Hee Lee, who took the podium, said, “It is written that if anyone adds to or takes away from the words of the Bible, they cannot enter heaven (Revelation 22:18–19). Our Shincheonji Church of Jesus masters the Book of Revelation,” he declared confidently. He continued, “If you are going to have faith, then have genuine faith. If you truly want to know, you must come to Shincheonji and learn.” He also said, “There are too many who claim to believe in Jesus yet do not fully follow the Bible. Do not rely on the authority of churches but check for yourselves, based on the Bible, whether you are practicing true faith.” Despite increasing persecution, slander, and obstruction against the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, this class alone produced 60,000 graduates. The number of pastor graduates has steadily increased, and over the past four years, the total number has surpassed 13,500. Drawing attention was the main graduation testimony, delivered by graduate Oh Sun-kyung, a former pastor. She said, “I had established three churches and prided myself on being a true believer who dedicated my life to the Lord’s kingdom and glory. Yet, deep in my heart, I always carried the heavy burden of not understanding Revelation. Even after reading the Bible more than 30 times, I could not find the answers, and feeling ashamed before my congregation, I eventually gave up pastoring.” However, she recalled, “On the first day of class at the Zion Christian Mission Center, within just one hour, my heart opened completely. Every lesson contained only logic and truth based on the Bible.” She added with emotion, “Now I can boldly declare, ‘I have mastered the Book of Revelation!’” She also delivered a message to pastors: “Now that the secrets of Revelation have been revealed, the role of pastors who shepherd God’s flock is to lead their entrusted congregation to heaven. Let us first master and not add to or subtract from this promised Word. Let pastors humble themselves before the Word, join hands with their congregations, and become those who are sealed by scoring 100 points on the Bible test.” Not only pastors but also general graduates testified that they were moved by the logical teaching of the Bible. Park Sang-jun (44, male), who had been a Presbyterian believer for over 40 years, said, “In the past, I spoke against Shincheonji and even watched documentaries criticizing it. But when I followed my wife to the Zion Christian Mission Center, I realized that Shincheonji teaches exactly according to the Bible.” Graduate Ligia Monteiro (19, female, Netherlands), who took a 16-hour flight to attend the ceremony, said, “Shincheonji Church explains every verse of the Bible based on the Bible itself, not human thoughts. That is the biggest difference from existing churches.” Tan Young-jin, the head director of the Zion Christian Mission Center, stated, “Even amid extreme misunderstanding and prejudice, the number of people being renewed through the Word continues to grow. This is proof that God is with us.” He added, “The graduates are those who have come to understand the true reality of the Bible that even pastors could not learn. A new era of faith transformed not by knowledge, but by truth, is dawning.” Meanwhile, the graduation ceremony was held under the theme ‘Love and Blessing, Light that Shines on the World.’ About 20,000 graduates filled the interior and exterior of Shincheonji Cheongju Church. Due to limited space, the remaining graduates joined online from Shincheonji churches in Korea and abroad, adding to the atmosphere of celebration.
