Statement from Shincheonji Church of Jesus on the Court's Dismissal of Chairman Lee Man-hee's Request for Review of the Legality of Detention

[Statement from Shincheonji Church of Jesus on the Court's Dismissal of Chairman Lee Man-hee's Request for Review of the Legality of Detention]




Shincheonji Church of Jesus expresses deep regret over the court's decision on 28 June to dismiss Chairman Lee Man-hee's request for a review of the legality of his detention, which had been filed on the grounds that there was neither any risk of the destruction of evidence nor any risk of flight, and in light of his advanced age of 95.


As all relevant materials have already been secured through extensive searches and seizures, leaving no risk of the destruction of evidence or flight, it is deeply regrettable that the detention has nevertheless been maintained.


In particular, subjecting a 95-year-old individual to detention during the investigation is an unduly harsh measure that threatens his life and health and seriously infringes upon his constitutional right to a defense.


As the question of detention does not determine guilt or innocence, the church will continue to establish the facts and clearly ascertain the substantive truth through the legal proceedings ahead.


We respectfully ask members of the press to refrain from speculation until the court reaches its final judgment, to uphold the principle of the presumption of innocence, and to report objectively and in a balanced manner based on the facts.

The Prophecies and Physical Fulfillment of Revelation

The Prophecies and Physical Fulfillment of Revelation Although the book of Revelation was written approximately 2,000 years ago, no one in heaven or on earth knew its true meaning. Instead, the world has been filled with false shepherds who testify lies from their own imagination. Why has the true meaning of Revelation remained unknown? The reason is that God sealed the book with seven seals and kept it hidden. However, today, Jesus took the sealed book, opened all seven seals, and fulfilled all its prophecies. He then gave the opened book to one person (the promised shepherd) to eat (Revelation 10), showing him the fulfillment of its prophecies and commanding him to testify what he has seen and heard to the churches (Revelation 22:8, 16). As instructed, the shepherd who witnessed all the events recorded in Revelation is now proclaiming both the revealed word and the physical fulfillment that he saw and heard to the churches as stated in Revelation 10:11 "You must prophesy again a...

The Promised Pastor of the Old and New Testaments

The Promised Pastor of the Old and New Testaments   The promised pastor of the Old Testament was Jesus (Ez 3, Mt 15:24), and the promised pastor of the New Testament is New John (Rv 22:8, 16). God promised about them in advance and said to see and believe when they appeared as promised.  The promised pastor of the Old Testament received and ate the opened scroll in Ez 3 then went and preached it to the rebellious people, the Jews. The promised pastor of the New Testament received and ate the opened book in Rv 10, saw all of events of the entire book of Revelation (Rv 22:8), and went and preached it to the rebellious Spiritual Israel (Rv 22:16).  Revelation is the new covenant to be fulfilled today, and it says that if one adds to or subtracts from this, then he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, but will receive curses (plagues) (Rv 22:18-19). However, all of the pastors of the Protestant Church and their congregation members have added to and subtracted from Revelation....
