La Bible rendue claire: chaque verset de l’Apocalypse se connecte aux réalités de notre époque

NEW YORK, 31 octobre 2021 /PRNewswire/ — « Il s’agit de faire connaître aux églises du monde entier le sens des prophéties (du livre de l’Apocalypse) et la réalité de l’accomplissement des prophéties.

Chairman Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus Speaks on Revelation Chapter 1

Le séminaire « Témoignage sur la prophétie et l’accomplissement de l’Apocalypse, la nouvelle alliance de Dieu », qui a commencé par cette déclaration audacieuse du président Man Hee Lee de Shincheonji Église de Jésus, Temple du Tabernacle du Témoignage se tient du 18 octobre au 27 décembre.

Concernant le but d’organiser un séminaire sur l’Apocalypse en tant que livre de la Bible qui prophétisait sur l’avenir du monde chrétien avec des avertissements apocalyptiques après la première venue de Jésus, le président Lee a souligné qu’il est en accord avec les paroles de la Bible de « rendre témoignage pour les églises » (Ap 22:16) par celui « qui a entendu et vu » (Ap 22:8).

Selon son explication, la clé pour comprendre le livre de l’Apocalypse commence par le sens de la révélation. C’est « ouvrir et montrer (ce qui était scellé et invisible) », et il y a un moment où les prophéties enregistrées dans le passé sont accomplies (révélées) dans la réalité.

Il est rapporté dans le chapitre 1 de l’Apocalypse que Jean (l’apôtre) envoie des lettres de Jésus aux sept églises d’Asie, ce qui est décrit comme l’un des mystères (Ap 1:4, 1:20). Le président Lee a expliqué que l’enregistrement de l’envoi de lettres aux sept églises est une prophétie et s’est accompli en réalité au moment de la seconde venue de Jésus. En conséquence, les mystères de la Bible ne sont pas connus au moment de la rédaction du livre de l’Apocalypse, mais ne sont connus que par « celui qui a entendu et vu tous les événements du livre lorsque le récit de la prophétie s’accomplit en réalité. »

En deux jours, le séminaire sur le chapitre 1 de l’Apocalypse sur YouTube par le président Lee a dépassé les 300 000 vues à travers le monde y compris 5 000 leaders chrétiens.

Depuis août, 25 églises africaines avec 10 000 membres ont signé des protocoles d’accord avec Shincheonji Église de Jésus. L’église a déclaré que 18 églises supplémentaires signeront des protocoles d’entente pour sensibiliser à la compréhension de cette époque et promouvoir le développement de la vie religieuse.

The Bible Explained: All the Verses of Revelation Are Connected to the Reality of Our Times

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A round of weekly seminars titled, “Testimony on Prophecy and Fulfillment of Revelation, God’s New Covenant,” is being held by Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony from October 18th to December 27th.

Chairman Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus Speaks on Revelation Chapter 1

Revelation, the last book of the Bible, includes prophecies about the future of the Christian world and the second coming of Jesus. The purpose behind the seminars, according to Shincheonji Chairman Man-hee Lee, is for “the one who heard and saw” Revelation’s fulfillment to give this testimony to the churches (Rev 22:16,18).

“The meanings of the prophecy (of Revelation) and what is fulfilled in reality according to the prophecy is what I am making known to the churches, worldwide, today,” Chairman Lee says.

The key to understanding the book of Revelation is knowing the meaning of the word revelation. It is “to open and to show (what was sealed and unseen),” and there is a time when the prophecies recorded in the past are fulfilled (revealed) in reality, Chairman Lee says.

According to chapter 1 of Revelation, Apostle John sends Jesus’s letters to seven churches in Asia. The identity of these seven churches is one of the mysteries in the Book of Revelation (Rev 1:4, 20). Chairman Lee explains that the record of sending letters to the seven churches is a prophecy that is fulfilled at the time of Jesus’s second coming. These mysteries were not known when Revelation was written. They are only known by “the one who heard and saw all the events of the book when the record of prophecy is fulfilled in reality.”

Within two days, Youtube views of Chairman Lee’s seminar on chapter 1 of Revelation exceeded 300,000 worldwide, including 5,000 views from Christian leaders.

Since August, 25 African churches with 10,000 members signed MOUs with Shincheonji Church of Jesus. An additional 18 churches will sign MOUs to emphasize the importance of understanding the era we live in and the value of the improving one’s life of faith.

Ancient Maya Canoe Found in Mexico’s Yucatan

A wooden canoe used by the ancient Maya and believed to be more than 1,000 years old has turned up in southern Mexico, officials said on Friday, part of archeological work accompanying the construction of a major new tourist train.

The extremely rare canoe was found almost completely intact, submerged in a freshwater pool known as a cenote, thousands of which dot Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, near the ruins of Chichen Itza, once a major Maya city featuring elaborately carved temples and towering pyramids.

Measuring a little over 1.6 meters in length and 80 centimeters wide, the canoe was possibly used to transport water from the cenote or deposit ritual offerings, according to a statement from Mexican antiquities institute INAH.

The institute described the extraordinary find as “the first complete canoe like this in the Maya area,” adding that experts from Paris’ Sorbonne University will help with an analysis of the well-preserved wood to pinpoint its age and type.

A three-dimensional model of the canoe will also be commissioned, the statement added, to facilitate further study and allow for replicas to be made.

The canoe is tentatively dated to between 830-950 AD, near the end of the Maya civilization’s classical zenith, when dozens of cities across present-day southern Mexico and Central America thrived amid major human achievements in math, writing and art.

It was found while workers building a tourist rail project championed by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador were inspecting the area surrounding the cenote which is near a section of the project that will connect with Cancun, Mexico’s top beach resort.

Lopez Obrador has pitched the so-called Maya Train as tourist-friendly infrastructure that will help alleviate poverty in Mexico’s poorer southern states, while critics argue it risks damaging the region’s delicate ecosystems.

Australia COVID-19 Restrictions End, International Travel Resumes

Australians are being allowed to travel overseas without COVID-19 restrictions for the first time in almost 600 days. Previously they needed government permission to go overseas under strict measures designed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

After more than 18 months, Australia is reconnecting with the world as vaccination rates increase. There were tearful reunions at Sydney Airport as the first overseas passengers landed after restrictions came to an end.

Australians can now travel freely overseas without needing official permission.

Returning travelers flying home into the states of New South Wales and Victoria no longer face mandatory hotel quarantine.

They must, however, be double vaccinated and only Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate families can return home at this stage. Australia will reopen quarantine-free entry to fully vaccinated Singaporeans from Nov. 21, but it is unclear when other foreign nationals, who have been mostly banned since March 2020, will be permitted to enter.

Thousands of Australians have been stranded overseas during the pandemic by some of the world’s toughest border controls. Authorities placed limits on the number of travelers allowed back because of constraints on the quarantine system.

Melbourne Airport has also been preparing for the resumption of large-scale passenger numbers.

Chief executive Lyell Strambi said pandemic border closures have been hard on staff.

“We have not really stopped flying, so we have been able to keep things working and making sure that everything is in great shape,” Strambi said. “But the stop-start nature of the whole episode we have been through has been really tough. In particular for the employees of the airport. We would normally have 20,000 people working at the airport. I think a few times there we were down to as low as 500 people. So, it has been really hard on those individuals in particular.”

Internal border controls remain in parts of Australia. Residents in Sydney and Melbourne, for example, can now fly freely to Paris, France but not to Perth in Western Australia.

Travelers from New South Wales and Victoria, which have been at the center of delta variant outbreaks this year, can only enter Western Australia with an approved exemption permit and must be double vaccinated. Queensland state authorities plan to ease their internal border restrictions on Dec. 17.

Australia has diagnosed 170,000 coronavirus cases during the pandemic, and 1,700 people have died. More than 77% of eligible Australians have been fully vaccinated.

Leaders of Seychelles and Madagascar hold bilateral talks on sidelines of UN climate change conference

Maritime security and illegal trafficking in the south of the Seychelles’ territory were two subjects discussed by President Wavel Ramkalawan and his counterpart from Madagascar.

State House said on Monday that Ramkalawan and the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina met on the sidelines of the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.

Ramkalawan is attending the high-level segment of the World Leaders Summit of COP26 in Scotland which started on Monday.

The two heads of state agreed that before the end of the year there will be a special conference organised through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, and Madagascar.

Also discussed was the recent arrest of six men, a Seychellois and five Malagasy nationals, on suspicion of alleged gold smuggling. The six men were arrested after local law enforcement officers said they found around 23 kg of suspected gold onboard their vessel.

On his way to attend the World Leaders Summit on Sunday, Ramkalawan met with Pravind Jugnauth, the Prime Minister of Mauritius.

The meeting was an opportunity to discuss current affairs and work ahead of the Leaders’ Summit. Both countries will take the same stance on the issue of vulnerability and will seek support for small island developing states.

It was the first meeting between the two leaders since the passing of Sir Anerood Jugnauth, the father of Prime Minister Jugnauth. Ramkalawan once again expressed his sincere condolences.

While in Scotland, Ramkalawan met with some members of the Seychellois community living in Edinburgh on Sunday afternoon.

The meeting was an opportunity to discuss how the Seychelles diaspora can contribute and play a greater role in the development of the island nation. Through their shared ideas, experiences and diverse technical backgrounds they agreed that despite living abroad they can still support the development of their homeland.
