In September of that same year, the 'Shincheonji Holy Laws' were announced, and in the following year 1985, the tour of Revelation nationwide began.

On March 14, 1995, the organization of the 12 tribes was completed according to the structure of heaven as recorded in the Bible. In 1999, the General Assembly Headquarters and temple moved to Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, which is the place where the fulfillment of Revelation began, and it is still there today.

The Zion Christian Mission Center, Shincheonji's free Bible Theological Institution, has expanded from Sadang Center in Seoul in 1990 to nationwide, and it teaches the prophecies of the Bible and the reality of the fulfillment.
