Establishment and Locations

Established on March 14, 1984, Shincheonji has expanded globally, with headquarters in Gwacheon, South Korea, and branches in several countries including the U.S., Europe, Australia, and South Africa. 

The official foundation date of Shincheonji is on March 14, 1984, the day when the “New Heaven and New Earth” was created.

On this day, Satan was captured and locked away in the abyss for 1000 years.

The Physical  Fulfillment of Revelation (2014), page 495:“The thousand years mentioned in Rv 20:7 are the period during  which Satan is bound in chains and locked up in the abyss. They are also the period during which those who participate in the first resurrection reign with Christ. This millennial kingdom began the day the twelve tribes of New Spiritual Israel were established (i.e., on March 14, 1984). The twelve tribes have been established here on Earth just as God’s will is done in heaven” 

They also believe that this was the day that the “universe completed it’s orbit”.

The Creation of Heaven and Earth page 45

“The Korean term used for sixty sexagenary cycles is yookship gahp-janyeon . The sexagenary cycle (one cycle = 60 years) originates from the Chinese cyclic numeral system of sixty combinations of two basic cycles: the ten Heavenly Stems and the twelve Earthly Branches. These were used to number days and years. It takes sixty sexagenary cycles (60 x 60 = 3,600 years) for the universe to complete its orbit. Shincheonji began in the first year of its current orbit.”

And salvation can only be found in Shincheonji, as the First Heaven and First Earth passed away, and the pastors of Christianity are married to Satan.
