The activities of HWPL by Man Hee Lee Peace Advocate ; The Mindanao Peace Agreement

The activities of HWPL by Man Hee Lee Peace Advocate ; The Mindanao Peace Agreement



The activities of the peace organization(HWPL) created by the peace advocate sent by God include seven world tours and 8 visits to the Philippines.



During these works, the Peace Delegation met the presidents of each country. 

The former and current presidents were asked to sign that should they love their country and their people, and love peace, then they must work towards enacting an international law that would include content about cessation of war and world peace, and they willingly accepted it. They also promised to work for world peace as messengers of peace. 

In addition, the Delegation met the religious leaders of each country. The Delegation described peace to them, and all the religious leaders signed the peace agreement.

Next, there were visits to the national broadcast stations of each country. The peace agreement signed by the presidents and religious leaders from each country was broadcast and known to the people all over the world.





In September 2013, the archbishop from Mindanao Island came to Manila and asked Man Hee Lee peace advocate to help stop the religious dispute, which had been breaking out on the island. At that time it was impossible for the Peace Delegation to go to the Mindanao because of the event set previously in Thailand. The fact that I could not accept the archbishop’s request continued to lay heavily on my mind.

In the meantime, in 2014, the graduation ceremony was supposed take place for the Filipino pastors having learned the words, so I made a proposal to the archbishop (of the Catholic church) and the Islamic representative about a meeting for a peace agreement. Having sent one of the Peace Delegates to Mindanao for preparation, we arrived afterward in Philippine on 23rd Jan. 2014.

And at a convent in Manila, we met the archbishop of the Mindanao Island who asked me to play the role of a mediator to stop the religious conflicts and two other bishops (during their sojourn in Manila to participate in the Catholic conference), and attained their signs on the peace agreement beforehand.




The Mindanao Peace Agreement


On 24th January 2014, Man Hee Lee peace advocate headed to the Mindanao Island. This island is bigger than our country in size and has around 20 million in population. At the airport, we were ardently welcomed by the crowd of youth and university students from IPYG. People were carrying flags of all nations, peace flags and Korean national flags (Taegeukgi) in their hands, and they lined up to the point of the vehicle of the Peace Advocate and it was a grand welcoming ceremony unseen in any parts of the world. The Peace Delegates participated in the Peace Walk Parade with them. We always had three policemen with us as guards.





At the grand ballroom in the hotel were convened each mayor of the city, professors and youths as well as Archbishop Capella who represented Catholics and the Islamic leader (Governor) together with the proper officials. Gathering at the convention as planned, the presider started the meeting by announcing the purpose of the meeting and the introduction session of each personnel followed.

According to the agenda outlined by the presider, the Catholic archbishop made his first remark and the Islamic representative (governor) continued in succession. And the third was the turn of Man Hee Lee peace advocate. He put an emphasis on bringing an end to conflicts and coming toward a peaceful agreement.






▲ The Mindanao Peace Agreement of Catholic - Islam

Man Hee Lee peace advocate was in the middle of the stage, the Islamic representative on his right, and the Catholic representative on his left. The written peace agreement prepared by the peace advocate was given to each representative so that they could sign. One was a peace agreement of two representatives (Islamic and Catholic) and the peace advocate and the other was a peace treaty agreement of the Catholic Church and Islam. The three people on the platform signed this document and received a copy afterwards. The signatures of these three people have started the work of cessation of war and world peace.





The process of signing of the peace agreement for peace was open to the audience and the presider gave an explanation about the peace treaty agreement, and everything was filmed as pictures and videos. The audience was clapping with glee and joy, dancing to the performance of the celebrated performance team creating a festive atmosphere.

This was all done by God. Since it is something man can’t do, former presidents couldn’t achieve this for 40 years, nor could 1,200,000 Filipino citizens. There was nothing but more than 120,000 victims. However, peace has arrived on the Philippine island thanks to Man Hee Lee peace advocate. How could the peace advocate do such a great work, which is unprecedented unless God helped?





On the next day, January 25th, the president, professors and students of each university gathered together at the Mindanao University for the celebration and the Peace Delegation also attended. Man Hee Lee peace advocate delivered a speech on peace for about two hours at this festival and received a plaque of appreciation for the peace work and peace lectures.




Man Hee Lee Quotes, The World of Peace

Man Hee Lee Quotes,  The World of Peace



Man Hee Lee Quotes
When and where will the world of peace be fulfilled according to the promise of God in the Old and New Testament?


It was at the time of Jesus as written in Lk 2:14 that the word of peace prophesied at Is 52:7 came true. 

At that time when the Lord of peace and Jesus were not accepted by the Jews, in Lk 19:38-44 Jesus saw the city of Jerusalem, wept over it and said 
“If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you." 

Today is that day, and it is the time of the end. 





Man Hee Lee Quotes
Today there are the works that Jesus must do


Jesus has sent his advocate to the churches (refer to Rv 22:16). 

Today there are the works that Jesus must do, and the works that the advocate chosen and sent by Jesus can do. 

One is to make known what has been fulfilled to the churches and another is to create a world of peace. Then, God of peace will come here and reign over the world (Rv 19:6).





Man Hee Lee Quotes
God has been waging war against the dragon



God created this world as paradise and a world of peace. 
However, one of His creations (creatures) betrayed Him, became an archenemy god and confronted His work. God referred to this arch enemy god as ‘dragon, Satan, the devil and serpent’ (Rv 12:9, 20:2). 
God has been waging war against the dragon for 6,000 years on this earth. Since the war began, there has been no peace in His kingdom, but there were only afflictions, agony and death.





Man Hee Lee Quotes
What is the answer to achieve peace?


Meanwhile, God and Jesus promised to end one era and to create a new era. This new era is the world of peace. 

Today, at the Second Coming, accepting the words from the messenger of peace sent by the Lord is the same as accepting the words from the Lord (refer to Rv 1:1-3), and likewise believing in the words of the messenger is believing in the Lord who sent him. 
With this faith, the world will become a world of peace without war.

What did the messenger of peace bring? 
What is his answer for peace? 
Are there any materials to accomplish the peace? 
Yes there is. It is God and Heavenly Culture.

Man Hee Lee Quotes, When the alliance of religions takes place under God...

Man Hee Lee Quotes, When the alliance of religions takes place under God...




Man Hee Lee Quotes
From these religions, which one is the greatest?



There are tens of thousands of different religions in the world. From these religions, which one is the greatest? Those who practice these religions believe in their own respective religions and share their teachings, because they think that it is the greatest. 
Even though there is only one true God, Why would the one God create tens of thousands of different religions? 

세상에는 만 가지 종교가 있다. 이 수많은 종교들 중 제일가는 종교는 어떤 종교인가? 종교인들은 자기가 신앙하고 있는 종교를 제일 좋은 종교로 알기에, 자기 종교를 믿고 전하고 있다. 유일하신 참 하나님은 한 분이신데, 어찌하여 한 분의 하나님이 만 가지 종교를 만들었을까? 





Man Hee Lee Quotes
Why do many religions exist?



There was also an archangel created by God, who trusted in its own strength and wisdom. The archangel betrayed its own Creator, the true God, and called himself a god (refer to 2 Thes 2:1-4, Isa 14:12-20, Ez 28:1-19, Gn 3). The archangel who betrayed in the spiritual realm became Satan, and as a result, a group of Satan came to existence even in the physical realm. Satan declared war against the true God (refer to Rv 13, 12). Many religions exist today, because there is a religion created by the true God and other religions created by the spirit who betrayed.

하나님이 창조하신 피조물 중 자기의 지혜와 능력을 믿고 자기를 창조하신 참 하나님을 배신하고 자기를 보여 하나님이라 한 천사장이 있었다. 이와 같이 영계에서 배도한 한 천사장이 사단이 되었고 육계에서도 사단의 무리가 있게 되었으며, 이자(사단)가 참 하나님과 전쟁을 일으켰다. 종교가 많은 이유는 참 하나님의 종교가 있고, 다른 배도한 신에 의해 만들어진 종교들도 있기 때문이다.






Man Hee Lee Quotes
Religion is the teaching of the Spirit. 


Being good and kindhearted are basic etiquette for man to keep. These are not enough for religion. Religion is the teaching of the Spirit. Instructions to be good and kindhearted are taught in schools and homes in the world. They are simply the knowledge and the commandments of man that are completely different from the promises God prophesied. God told us to believe when the promises are fulfilled (Jn 13:19, 14:29).

선하고 착하게 하는 것은 사람의 기본이다. 이것을 종교라 하기엔 부족하다. 종교는 신의 가르침이다. 선하고 착한 것은 세상 학교에서도 가정에서도 가르치는 것이다. 이것들은 사람의 지식과 계명에 불과하고, 하나님의 예언한 약속은 그와 다르다. 하나님은 약속한 그것을 이룰 때 믿으라 하셨다(요 13:19, 14:29).






Man Hee Lee Quotes
If a religion and its scripture are indeed from the true God...



If a religion and its scripture are indeed from the true God, the scripture should have contents on history, moral instructions, prophecy and fulfillment. If it only has history and men’s commandments and no prophecies that are to fulfill and no content about their fulfillment, then the words on that scripture are not from the true God. 

There is no need to continue waiting or believing in it. A scripture that has promises that will fulfill in the future is believable if it also has contents about the physical entities that appeared according to the ancient prophecies. A religion cannot call itself a religion simply because it teaches the empty commandments of men such as, “Be good and kindhearted, and lead a good and kind life.”

참 하나님께 받은 종교요 경서라면, 반드시 역사와 교훈과 예언과 성취가 있게 된다. 역사와 사람의 교훈만 있고, 장래에 이룰 예언도 성취함도 없으면 이는 참 하나님의 말씀이 아니며, 믿고 기다릴 이유가 없다. 옛날에 약속한 것에 대하여 이룬 실체들이 있었고, 또 약속한 것도 그와 같이 이룬다 하는 그 말이 있어야 이룰 것을 믿을 수 있다. 맹탕 “선하고 착하게 행하고, 선하고 착하게 살라.”는 사람의 계명 하나로 종교라 할 수 없다.






Man Hee Lee Quotes
All religious leaders must offer their religions to God and become one under Him.



The current religions today are no longer within the will of God.  They have become beyond corrupt that they are more like religions of the devil rather than religions of the true God.  One cannot deny that the quarrels, fights, murders, cursing, and judging among the religions are the actions of the devil.  

Therefore, All religions must become one. Each must bring its scripture, and before the people of all nations, must examine and confirm‍ which one is the true religion. We must select the religion and scripture that are the most believable. 

Then, all religious leaders must offer their religions to God and become one under Him.

지금의 종교는 하나님의 뜻이 아니며, 참 하나님의 종교라기보다는 마귀의 종교라 할 정도로 부패하고 부패하였다. 종교끼리 다투고, 싸우고, 죽이고, 욕하고, 서로 저주하는 행위는 마귀가 하는 행위가 아닐 수 없다. 따라서 모든 종교가 하나가 되어, 각 종교가 자기 종교의 경서를 가지고 나와, 만민 앞에서 참 종교에 대한 확인을 할 때이다. 그리하여 믿을 만한 것으로 택해야 한다. 그리고나서 종교 지도자들 모두가 자기의 종교를 하나님께 바치고, 하나님 안에서 하나가 되어야 한다.







Man Hee Lee Quotes
When the alliance of religions takes place under God...





If you know about the promises in the Bible and think that the religions have become corrupt, then let us offer the religions to God.  He is the owner.  When the alliance of religions takes place under God, conflicts and quarrels will cease, and this world will become a world of peace.

지금 성경의 약속을 알고 종교가 부패했다고 생각한다면, 자기 종교를 종교의 주인이신 하나님께 바치고 하나님 안으로 들어가 종교 대통합으로 다시 나서, 종교가 하나님 안에서 하나가 되어야 분쟁도 다툼도 없고 평화의 세상이 될 것이다. 








If you say that you are the upright religion, truly acting according to God’s will, then let us offer our religions to God, the rightful owner.  Let us stop these conflicts, for religions were His to begin with. 


참으로 하나님의 뜻대로 하는 올바른 종교라 주장한다면, 본래 하나님의 것이었으니 주인인 하나님께 바쳐 분쟁이 없게 하고, 참 하나님 안에서 한 분이신 하나님의 하나의 종교가 되자.
