On September 27, 2025, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, held an open Bible test on the Book of Revelation in Kampala, Uganda, marking a significant effort to promote theological dialogue among Christian leaders.

The event, which took place at the Global Hotel, brought together 100 Ugandan Christian pastors and 100 members of the Shincheonji Church. It was part of a broader initiative by the church to highlight the importance of understanding prophecy and fulfillment as central pillars of faith.

The test featured 100 questions drawn primarily from the New Testament, focusing on the Book of Revelation.

The examination was inspired by a major Word Seminar held the same day in South Korea, at the Cheongju Church of the Matthias Tribe, Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

The seminar, led by Chairman Lee Man-hee, drew about 1,000 pastors and members. During his address, Chairman Lee emphasized that “the Book of Revelation must be the standard of faith,” urging participants to use the scripture as a foundation for distinguishing between orthodoxy and heresy.

Quoting Revelation 22:18–19, Chairman Lee underscored the importance of maintaining doctrinal integrity through such Bible tests. “We must hold Bible tests centered on Revelation at every Word Seminar to distinguish between orthodoxy and heresy,” he said, reiterating his long-standing call for scripture-based discernment within Christianity.

A church representative in Kampala said the test sought to strengthen understanding of prophecy and fulfillment while fostering open discussion about what constitutes true orthodoxy. “The goal is to promote dialogue and deepen understanding of the Word,” the representative explained.

Participants described the event as eye-opening. One Ugandan pastor who took the test admitted, “I realized that I knew nothing about the Book of Revelation. I came to understand its important responsibility in guiding a life of faith, and I want to study more deeply with Shincheonji to broaden my understanding of prophecy and fulfillment.”

A Shincheonji member who sat for the same test said the experience was equally enlightening. “This became an opportunity to learn and understand Revelation,” the member said. “Since the current Protestant world does not truly know the reality of Revelation, I hope that the pastors who attended this exam will come to learn its fulfillment and recognize the promised pastor and temple where God is working.”

The event concluded with a reaffirmation of Shincheonji’s commitment to continue peaceful dialogue with churches in Uganda and around the world. Church officials emphasized that knowing the “reality of Revelation” is vital for leading believers in truth and faith.

Later the same day, at the SS Hotel in Kampala, seven pastors signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Shincheonji for continued gospel exchange and collaboration.

Since its establishment in 2015 with just 27 members, the Shincheonji Uganda Church has grown significantly. It now counts 8,388 registered members and continues to expand its outreach by promoting word-centered discussions and cooperation with local pastors.

Through such initiatives, Shincheonji hopes to bridge theological divides and encourage Christians to return to what it calls “Bible-centered faith,” with Revelation as a guiding light for understanding God’s promises and their fulfillment.
