Protester ejected as South Korean religious leader delivers sermon.
GARDEN GROVE —
In a bright, colorful and stage-managed event that almost went off without a hitch,
more than 1,500 people flocked to the Crystal Cathedral here on Saturday
to hear a sermon by the controversial South Korean religious leader —
whose followers refer to him as Instructor Man Hee Lee (Lee Man-Hee).
Lee is the founder of the Tabernacle of the Testimony
(Shinchonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony)
which, according to its lightmeetslight website, is a ministry of 53 churches
that boasts 140,000 members worldwide.
In a two-hour plus oration — given without notes and aided by a chalk board —
Lee’s testimony included that Jesus has appeared before him
and the Book of Revelation has already been fulfilled.
The sermon was in Korean, but attendees were provided with headsets
that translated the lesson into several languages, including English and Spanish.
However, about an hour into the address, a woman ran up to the front of the church
and started yelling — but she was quickly intercepted and ushered out of the building.
Lee, who asked that she be allowed to speak in the lobby,
went on to acknowledge the opposition against his teachings,
noting that “so many people curse me and want me dead.”
“I’m here to testify to the words of Jesus,” he said.
“I am not here to bring down any other religion.
God wants to save, not kill mankind.”
During the sermon, Lee references each chapter of the Book of Revelation,
explaining what he feels the symbols mean.
According to the website, born in 1931 in the rural town of Gyeongbuk Cheongdo,
as the 7th of 12 sons, it is said that his grandfather saw a radiant light
shining upon Lee’s mother, and named him Man Hee, meaning light.
A former member of the Korean Special Forces, it’s further claimed
his transformation came in the midst of prayer when a huge star came down
and a heavenly figure appeared, introduced himself as Jesus and anointed him.
“According to his command, I went to a church named the Tabernacle Temple
in Cheongdo where I saw and heard the events right before my eyes
that were fulfilling Revelation.
What I am testifying to is the fulfillment of Revelation.”
