Shincheonji claims that they have the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation, and that in order for one to receive salvation, one must believe in the testimony of their leader, Lee Manhee. Click here to view the original source of these articles.
Shincheonji claims that the “New Covenant”—the Book of Revelation—is central to their faith. According to them, understanding its prophecy and fulfillment is essential, as it constitutes the “word of testimony” that believers must know, perceive, and understand. This includes both their commentary on Revelation and their claims of its fulfillment.
When engaging with an SCJ member, they often appeal to their interpretation of Revelation’s fulfillment as proof of their faith. However, examining how their teachings have been revised, altered, and reinterpreted over time exposes inconsistencies and reveals that their claims are not grounded in truth but rather in faulty logic and a deceptive testimony.
Although SCJ now acknowledges a doctrine of “progressive revelation,” this was not always their stance. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, they taught that Lee Manhee had complete knowledge of Revelation’s physical fulfillment in advance, asserting that he received direct communication from God, Jesus, and the angels.
Deuteronomy 18:20-22 warns believers to test a prophet to determine whether they truly speak on behalf of God. When scrutinizing SCJ’s shifting interpretations and supposed fulfillments, it becomes evident that they fail this biblical test—despite their recent attempts to justify past inaccuracies under the guise of progressive revelation.
In the following articles, I provide a detailed analysis of the discrepancies in Shincheonji’s ever-changing claims regarding who fulfills what, the shifting dates, and even the evolving identities of key figures in the Book of Revelation. I examine contradictions in their teachings, such as their changing interpretation of the beast of the earth, the failed fulfillments of Revelation 7 and Revelation 18 that later required updates, and the broader inconsistencies in their prophetic timeline. Through these examples, I demonstrate why Shincheonji’s testimony about Revelation’s fulfillment is neither reliable, trustworthy, nor true.
