Previously, the SCJ Word Seminar held in August attracted1,700 pastors and 28,000 people globally. “The number ofparticipants at this time reflects their interest and effort tounderstand the words of Revelation consistently with the wordsof the rest of the books of the Bible,” said Mr. Kim Shinchang,General Director of the International Mission Department ofShincheonji Church.
The Shincheonji Church also added that the book of Revelationis written in parables and has not been explained through thereal world, but instead only through human thoughts and non-biblical speculative theories which has misguided believers andinstigated social disorder. The church also emphasizes thatunderstanding the true meaning of the book of Revelation is to see how the prophecies expressed in parables have beenphysically fulfilled in the world today according to the Bible.
