Shincheonji's Word Seminar in Europe ignites hope for Christian reawakening

 In the heart of Paris, a remarkable event unfolded that may well signify a turning point for Christianity in Europe. On June 15, Shincheonji Church of Jesus held a Word Seminar that resonated deeply across the continent, drawing an impressive crowd of over 7,000 participants, including 1,000 pastors from across Europe. The theme of the seminar, "Testimony on the Fulfilled Realities of Revelation," couldn't be timelier.


Europe has long been regarded as a cradle of Christianity, but recent decades have seen a worrying decline in church attendance and a shift in buildings from sanctuaries to secular venues like restaurants and clubs. Against this backdrop, the Word Seminar offered a beacon of hope and a possible blueprint for revival.


Delphine Mardon, a pastor from the Full Gospel denomination, reflected the sentiments of many attendees when she expressed her awe at the teachings of Revelation presented by Chairman Lee Man-hee. Her words, "The words of Revelation were profound and incredible. I would prepare my ticket now if invited to Korea to learn more," encapsulate the thirst for deeper biblical understanding that was palpable among the participants.



The seminar's impact extends beyond mere numbers. It fostered a sense of unity and a renewed commitment to spiritual enlightenment among European clergy, who expressed a collective desire to continue learning and to teach their congregations without subtracting or adding to the scriptural tests. This approach is particularly crucial in a region where the dilution of scriptural teachings has contributed to a spiritual drought.


Furthermore, the discussions and outcomes of the seminar highlight a critical pivot towards re-engaging with the foundational tests of Christianity in ways that are both meaningful and transformative. The promise of more seminars and the expansion of educational opportunities through the Zion Christian Mission Centers across Europe offer a tangible path forward for those looking to deepen their faith and understanding.


As Europe stands at a crossroads, the successful hosting of this seminar in Paris could well be the dawn of a new era for Christianity on the continent. The commitment shown by Shincheonji to provide continuous education and the eagerness of European pastors to engage with these teachings could spark a significant resurgence in Christian faith and community life across Europe.

[Shincheonji Elementary Seminar Lesson 3 Review] Why Are the Secrets of Heaven Hidden in Parables?

Following the previous session, today I’m reviewing Lesson 3 of the Shincheonji Elementary Seminar, titled “The True Meaning of the Parables of the Secrets of Heaven.” Through this lecture, I gained deep insight into why the Bible is difficult to understand, and why Jesus chose to speak in parables. In Mark chapter 4, Jesus said, “The secret of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is said in parables.” The Word is clear, but its meaning is hidden in figurative language, making it inaccessible to just anyone. What left the biggest impression on me was the fact that only when prophecy is fulfilled can the reality of the parable appear. As Jesus promised, at the time of His second coming, He would no longer speak in parables but explain plainly—and realizing that this time is now truly stirred my heart. The instructor explained how various parables in the Bible were actually fulfilled. For example, a stone symbolizes Jesus and the two wives r...
