The Bible is a book recorded by the prophets who received revelations from the Almighty God. The last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, has been 2000 years since it was written and has never been revised. This is because even if history changes and science develops, there can be no error in God. If the content of revelation is revised, it is evidence that it is not God’s revelation.
The scriptures for Mormons are the Book of Mormon. It is said that the Book of Mormon was created by a revelation from God to Joseph Smith Jr., whom Mormons believe to be a prophet. This book was published in 1830 after receiving a revelation on September 22, 1823.
It has been less than 200 years since Joseph Smith received the revelation. During that time, the Book of Mormon has been revised more than 40 times. This is because content that needs to be corrected over time has been discovered. This frequent change is not God’s revelation.
What about the physical fulfillment that Lee Man-hee received? The first book that Man-hee Lee received revelation and recorded the truth of the book of Revelation was (1) ‘The Reality of the Revelation’ published in 1985. This book explains that Lee Man-hee received a revelation from God and interpreted the book of Revelation from chapters 1 to 22 as the reality of betrayal, destruction, and salvation.
However, because the revelation he received was fake, it was refurbished 8 times in 33 years. This is because errors that must be corrected have emerged over time. At the beginning of Shincheonji, Lee Man-hee said that he and Hong Jong-hyo were two witnesses of Revelation 11. However, three years later, Lee Man-hee and Hong Jong-hyo, who are two witnesses, split up. Lee Man-hee was called the revealed Christ, because Hong Jong-hyo also claimed to be the Christ who received revelation. A religious business partner split up at some point.
Unable to predict that the two witnesses would separate, Lee Man-hee had no choice but to revise the book “The Reality of Revelation,” which was written by revelation. The book (2) ‘The Reality of Revelation 2’ was republished in 1988, three years later. Much of what was revealed was revised in three years.
This is an example of the modified version. In “The Reality of Revelation,” it is said about the reed in Revelation 11. “The Apostle John received and ate the little book in chapter 10. He also receives a reed like a staff. Receiving the little book and receiving the reed like a staff are related, and they are both words from God.”
The reed like a staff that John received in Revelation 11 is interpreted as receiving the word of God. However, in (3) ‘The Reality of Revelation 2’, which was republished three years later [1991], the contents were revised as follows. “The meaning of the staff-like reed that the angel gave to the apostle John means that Egypt (man) was delivered into the had of the apostle John.”
The reed was said to be the word, and then it was modified to be human again. As such, many of the revelations that Man-hee Lee received have been revised within three years. However, in the revised book ‘The Reality of Revelation 2’, many mistakes were found over time, so it is revised again.
Five years later [from 1988 version] , in 1993, the book was revised and published, (4) ‘The Physical Fulfillment of Revelation’. Many parts of this book were also problematic, so it was revised again. Six years later, the book was completely revised and made into a perfect book, and the cover was changed to a hard cover and published in 1999 called (5) ‘Revelation’. Six years after the ‘Revelation’ came out, it was forced to be revised again, and in 2005 (6) ‘The Physical Fulfillment of Revelation’ came out.
(7) This book was also revised and published again in 2011, six years later. Six years later, it was revised again, but it is the 2017 edition of (8) ‘The Physical Fulfillment of Revelation’. The revelation that Lee Man-hee received was revised every 5 to 6 years. More than 100 revisions per book.
To give one example, Revelation 8:1 says, “When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.” Lee Man-hee, in ‘Revelation’ [1999] , described this ‘half hour’, “The text says that when the seventh seal is opened, the heaven is silent for about half an hour. This half hour means 6 months.”
However, in “The Physical Fulfillment of Revelation” revised six years later [2005], “John says that when the seventh seal is opened, the heaven is silent for half an hour. Here, half hour literally means half an hour, that is, thirty minutes.” It has been drastically reduced from 6 months to 30 minutes.
Even now, Shincheonji and its leader Lee Man-hee continue to revise the revelations and doctrines that he received from heaven. Every time Man-hee Lee revised the contents of the revelation and republished the book, I looked at the revised contents, and those were the parts that I pointed out or criticized as being wrong.
As such, the revelation that Lee Man-hee received has been revised several times and is still being revised, indicating that it is not a revelation from God. The revelation that Lee Man-hee received must be a revelation from Satan or a pun on words created by religious fraudsters.
