Shincheonji Claims
In 1995, Shincheonji organized the 12 tribes, appointing 7 lead educators, 24 elders, and other key leadership roles. Lee Man-Hee, known as the “New John,” claimed to have experienced a vision in which he was taken up into the spiritual world (heaven) and saw the image of the heavenly throne. He expressed a longing to remain there, but received the commandment from God to recreate what he saw in heaven as it is on earth. Since then, Lee Manhee established the 12 Tribes of New Spiritual Israel.
How can SCJ claim to be “heaven on earth” when it faces frequent leadership changes, betrayals, and expulsions?
In 1995, after claiming to witness the heavenly throne and its structure, Lee Man-Hee returned to reality and organized the 12 tribes, 7 educators, and 24 elders at the Suwon Public Stadium.
Q: If God’s will is to be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10), why does SCJ, which claims to be the kingdom of God on earth, experience so many cases of betrayal and expulsion?
The New Covenant, written in the blood of Lee Manhee, is a promise to God by the missionaries and saints of the SCJ Tabernacle of Witnesses Temple who clearly realize and believe that the prophesied words of the Bible have been fulfilled today… |
Yet, the Bible says that this isn’t necessary, and should be a concern for a Christian, as the only blood covenant we should enter in is with Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 9:12 – He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption
Also, didn’t Jesus caution us about people like Lee Manhee making these types of blood covenants?
Matthew 5:34-37 – But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
Shincheonji claims that the 12 Tribe Leaders have the spirit of the Apostles working through them, and that the 12 Tribes of Shincheonji is the physical reality of the New Heaven and New Earth.

Was Lee Manhee truly influenced by God, as he claims, or could his teachings and actions have been influenced by another spirit
Lee Manhee claims that he saw Heaven in the spiritual realm, and that he was instructed by God to create Heaven here on earth.
He also claims that since he was the one who created the 12 Tribes, that it was the Biblical evidence of him fulfilling the “One Who Overcomes”. Click here to read the theological issues of the “Promised Pastor of the New Testament”
It was claimed that only the one who fought and won against the legion of Satan (=the Chairman) could create the kingdom of God on this earth, just as if they had seen it in heaven (the spiritual world). However, in other heretical and pseudo-churches, individuals who have already won and events like the creation of the Twelve Tribes have occurred.
Additionally, it was taught that through the Shincheonji mark certification, all of this could be proven to be true. However, other heretical groups and pseudochurches also had marks or certifications.
Lee Manhee stated that his understanding of the four creatures in Revelation 4 as the four angelic heads did not come from witnessing the spiritual realm or receiving the book, but rather from his visit to the temple on Mount Sokrisan.
