World Peace Leader Illness "Irreversible", Family, Followers, Continue Fight For His Life

Reverend Moon, famous World Peace Leader, and the one who wrote many of the Textbook from which I write my blog, is still fighting for his life.

Report on Friday stated that there are more than one mmachine currently hooked up to him and is the only source keeping him alive.  But, his family decided to move him to another hospital/quarters and hope to continue to fight for his life.

Many wonder why it is so important for a man in his 90s to survive, he has a large dream to fulfill for the world.  He was imprisoned in North Korea for teaching the words of God, and there he worked at a dangerous fertilizer plant, which caused severe deterioration to his lungs which affect him now. 

In Heungnam Prison, prisoners didn't last even a few months.  He lasted two and a half years before he was freed by General Mac Arthur.  Thereafter began his church, beginning his long hard walk toward bringing peace between members of different religions, creating hundreds of orginazations to spread messages of peace and numerous other projects in the world too numerous to count. 

He had made speeches in 2010 on more projects he wanted to complete, which means he wants to continue to fight for his life in order to live to see these projects to fruition.  Yes, at 92, with only two hours of sleep everyday, and traveling making peace speeches, he is considerable young for what he wants to accomplish - World Peace despite opposition.

I will continue to write blogs on his teachings, if you have heard negative issues about him, you can check out my blog which translate his Korean textbooks in a conversational tone without changing the spirit of the message. 

Even though his lung functions have ceased, he and his family have never been the one to give up, so those who have been following this blog anonymously, thank you for your  continued interest in these teachings and prayers for his turn around.

Who is the Returned Messiah? Part II

Warning!  Those who absolutely think it is blasphemy to say the Messiah has returned and refuses to change their mind this may not be for you.

  If you have searched and prayed and wondered why the world is the way it is, I wrote the following based on these textbooks, "The Divine Principle" and the deeper content version, "The Original Substance of the Divine Principle" which are solely based on 9-year research of the bible. 

 

These writings continues part I that speak about the Messiah returning in yours and my time as a man and that this man has returned.  If you read part I and don't agree, maybe this is not for you.

 

Be forewarned, this is not to be a debate, this is for those truly searching God's call.  Please have respect for the views of others.  I find it unfair that atheists and certain religious sects as well as others have the right to subject their views onto society unabated.  It's about time other viewpoints get a chance to do so in a peaceful way.  This is for educational purposes not a podium for debate.

 

In real life have you ever seen those messengers on the streets who hold signs warning us about the future? "The world is coming to an end!".  Remember last year when the world was supposed to end?  That preacher spent his life savings to post signs everywhere.

 

If you were directly told, "This man right here is the Messiah and his name is -" you would no doubt be unable to accept it.  That's how the Israelites acted when Jesus boldly proclaimed he was the Messiah.  The same in our time. 

When has there been a time when a man proclaimed boldly to the world - not just his followers proclaiming after his death - while he was alive that he was the fulfillment of God's words besides Jesus?  No one until recently.  There have been many false prophets, but they all are either still in jail or met a fatal end taking their followers with them and the fruit of their foundation ended within .

Yet there is one that is alive in your time who has boldly proclaimed he is the one we awaited.  He was imprisoned six times, tortured, near death for the sake of peace.  He works to bring about an end to Satan's reign on the earth. 

It is up to every person to find out who he is for themselves.  How can a repeat of what happened in Jesus' time be avoided?  This being Jesus not being fully accepted as the Messiah.

 

 

The Messiah Rescues God's Ideal

 

The entire history of restoration is a history of God seeking to restore the order of love.

 

Have you ever realized how love doesn't seem to last?  Many people wonder why God would create such a situation for his children.  It is so agonizing once love ends.

 

This is because our love is not centered on God's love, it is more of a self-centered love.  The world of free sex, sex outside of marriage is rampant in American youth.  He abhors Satan's love. Satan's illicit love is a one-way street to the bottom of hell; the world is running down that street 

 

Love outside of God, false love originated from fallen Lucifer.  His love destroys people's lives.  When God's enemy destroyed true love, he also destroyed morality.  False love was able to destroy God's children all throughout history.  Laws one at a time are being changed in order for people to be free to behave like animals.  Does this originate from God?

 

Why does false love feel so real; because it is still love at a lower level and it is very temporary. 

 

God's love is eternal and progressive which lives for the sake of the other.  Satan knows God's supreme ideal for His World and wanted to destroy God's ideal.  Satan stole the pure love of God  and used it as his own weapon.

 

Before we can recognize the Messiah, we have to recognize what he comes to specifically restore.  The one God ordains to restore what was lost is the Messiah.  So, lets first look at what was lost that Satan specifically took.

 

Love a weapon?

 

 

 

This video uses the "Divine Principle" textbook to explain how love, which God created, can derail humans from God's path. 

We must return to the Garden of Eden to see the origin of our internal and external conflicts that plagues the world today.  We must know that what happened in the Garden of Eden is repeated daily and hourly because the truth of what God commanded was taken literally. 

The commandant not to eat a fruit was not speaking of an actual fruit.  In order to begin to understand how to end the world and individual conflict we need to see that we still listen to fallen Lucifer as did Adam and Eve and we still "eat of this fruit".  At a much later date, we can delve into the Fall.

 

 

Who is the Messiah?

 

Where in the world will the Messiah return?  Will he return in Africa where Adam and Eve originated?  Israel, the Middle East?  You have to look how God prepared for Jesus to come.  Two thousand years of preparation of a people and one thing was for sure, God did not place Jesus in a war torn atmosphere or a place of extreme political unrest.  Are these two areas of the world a place for God's son to peacefully settle?

 

How about Europe and America?  Is the Messiah an old white man like John Wayne?  Will he return on the foundation of South America?  Will he be born in the family of the Royal Family? 

 

How about Asia?  Will he stand on the footstool of Communist China?  How about Japan?  North Korea?  Which place has a history of not starting wars, and domination of other countries? Which of these countries found a people of culture with a beautiful language which embodies hope?  North and South America? Asia? Africa? Middle East? South Korea?

 

If you have one child after 2000 years of waiting for his birth, and there was no more children to come for you, which country has such a glorious history and culture that you would send your only son to bear your fruit?

God prepared Israel for 2000 years for Jesus and they failed to accept him as Messiah and completely follow him in faith and works until his death.

 

The Israelites thought that every proclamation that Jesus made was blasphemous.  They were stuck to the Old Testament of the Ten Commandants and here was Jesus trying to bring them to the New Testament Age.  "Love your brother and sister as thyself" seems second nature teaching to us, but remember it was new to his people.  Now the Messiah comes to bring the Completed Testament.  They do not hear him.  Is Jesus going to find faith on earth when he returns?

 

 

Maybe not.

 

He didn't ask were there going to be many followers, believers on the earth; he asked if there was going to be anyone with "faith" on the earth. To see someones faith you have to look into their hearts, do you know any one's true heart?

 

God knew that as before, there might be a possibility where many people will not be able to accept this new truth of the Completed Testament that the Messiah proclaims in this new millennium.

 

As the New Testament was a revelation for the Israelites, in our time when the hero gives us God's words they will be a revelation and we may deny it.   This Completed Testament can conquer Satan within our own lives, and we no longer pass it on to our children eventually saving the world.

 

It will seem blasphemous, but to those with the eyes to see will see, those with the ears to hear will hear and will be able to unite with the Messiah when he returns.

 

So, we look continuously in the sky for our true hero to return, to save us from the dire situation of the world. We will forever look because that is not where he returned two thousand years ago.  He had feet planted firmly on this earth and he walked this land, this ground as we do - as a human.

 

So, what should a superhero require to have in order to save the earth?  How will you know who he is? The Israelites thought the Messiah of their time would come from the sky as Elijah had left in the sky upon his chariot. They missed Jesus as the First Coming.

 

The Messiah came in the flesh and was born of woman and we think that he will just return from the sky the second time.

 

Well, Jesus already did that. He returned to his living disciples after the crucifixion.  Jesus already had his second coming and gathered them together in order that his teachings would spread everywhere.

 

How can we say we wait two thousand years for Jesus to return in the spirit when he is already here in the spirit and already came in the spirit.

 

Millions of Christians will miss the Second Coming because they are looking in the wrong direction the same as the Israelites. The Second Coming will be no different from the first. He will be born of a woman and be born of the flesh.

 

It is up to every Christian and people of faith to see the Messiah as he returns to earth in the way he had left. How else could God save the earth?

Man of the flesh had made the mistake and made this hell on earth.  Our beginning to turn away from God did not start in the spirit - flesh made the mistake. So he becomes flesh in order to restore the flesh and he does not return alone.

 

This solves the mystery of why God would "wait" 2000 years.  He always prepares a people, a country and a religion to accept his prophets and Messiahs. 

The people He prepared are none other than Christians.  Yet they are not fulfilling God's providence.  This is why the Messiah returns with the Completed Testament.  His people are all people of faith and those who chose to believe the Completed Testament and follow the Messiah.  In addition, the country is not going to be Israel.

 

This is the problem that has been passed through the history of Christianity. And the main reason why many will miss the superhero they are looking for to bring the tools for World Peace; they will be looking in the wrong direction.

Please pray for understanding and for God to lead you the way that can open your spiritual eyes and ears to the words that will help you not miss this once in all of human history.

 

 

Note:  There is no shortcut way to understand the history of God's work to bring the First and Second Coming. One must first understand God's process of restoration to understand major key points of the bible that have confused people of faith for centuries. 

These points take you from the Garden of Eden all the way to the Second Coming, how can two articles summarize this?  





This video breaks down "The Divine Principle" teaching that is summarized in both of these articles.  Take a look if you want to know more through these beautiful videos.  I did not create this series or do not know the owner, but I surely will let them know I link in the future.

Freedom Message, Report Calls for Protection of Religious Minorities

 By Denise Rochelle M.

Earlier this month, human rights organizations proposed that Capitol Hill take measures to protect members of minority faiths and to allow one the freedom to practice their religion without the fear of harassment.

Advocates of Universal Peace Federation gave a lunch briefing earlier this month to Capitol Hill.  The focus was to commence talks with Japan about religious rights misconducts.

The brief detailed how the Unificationist community has experienced over 4,000 reported abductions of its members where the Japanese police “have turned a blind eye”. 

Rev. In Jin Nim Moon, President of the Unification Church, USA, said some members of the church are being held in captivity against their will. Captors pay “deprogrammers” to hold members hostage until they denounce their faith. 

In addition, just a few months ago, supporters of the First Freedom Center compiled a report that calls"for a renewed US focus on religious freedom and the protection of vulnerable minority faith communities throughout the world".

The report assesses several fields pertaining to religious rights concerns such as the Sikh community’s freedom to wear religious clothing; improved religious freedom in EU foreign policy; the Chinese Embassy harassment of the Falun Gong organization; and accounts of other faiths and religious affiliations.

With these violations brought to lawmakers attention, we hope it puts an end to the fear of practicing one's faith in certain regions.

Who is the Returned Messiah? Part I

If you were directly told that a person was the Messiah today on the news, how would you react?

"In world news, Oprah Winfrey has declared she has found the living Messiah.  She plans to conduct a life class workshop on his teaching this Friday."

Would you think she was mistaken or would you research the person's teachings and ask God in prayer?

What if he came back as an ordinary man just the way Jesus did?

 We can easily research the past.  How did the Israelites react when Jesus said he was the one they have long awaited; he said he was the fulfillment of God's word?  How does one react whenever God commanded a figure to fulfill his Will?  It is always met with opposition. 

This is described very well in the movie "Evan Almighty" the second installment of Jim Carrey's hilarious film.  In it, Evan becomes a senator and moves his family only to have his life derailed when God tells him to build an ark.  Everyone, except his kids, thinks that he has lost his mind.  This accurately describes how lonely a position one takes when they fulfill God's Will.  God's plans are mysterious to the outside world.


Moses Mission Prolonged Due to Faithlessness

Moses was a messiah for the Israelites.  He directly freed them from slavery and led them out of Egypt.  Was Moses praised for this?  Were the people excited even after he led them safely away from the soldiers, did they completely follow God's commands through Moses words? 

We know how they had reacted.  Over and over they complained to Moses.  They even dreamed about returning to Egypt as slaves!  The first generation's disobedience led them to die in the wilderness. This prolonged God's plan to send them directly from Egypt, and in a matter of a time period centered on 40 days, they would enter Canaan.  They had the responsibility to follow Moses, instead they fell into faithlessness.

They lost the blessing and had to regain it through the indemnity of 40 years in the wilderness.  God raised the second generation who would have faith and led them into Canaan.

In Moses's time and also in Jesus's time they were met with opposition that prolonged God's plan to bring his people to the promised land or Heaven on Earth.  So, as the Messiah returns in our time he will be seen as a blasphemer because people are looking for another.   Even John the Baptist after proclaiming Jesus had doubts, "Are you the one to come or shall we look for another?" 

Was Jesus happy with this response, was this part of the providence of Jesus?  Jesus answered the messenger to tell John
Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is he who takes no offense at me. , Matt. 11:4-6
Yes, God ordained John the Baptist to be a precursor to testify to the people that Jesus was the one to follow.  Yes, God does not practice His absolute authority to make a person fulfill the prophecy.  Everyone has their portion of responsibility to fulfill God's Will. 

So when a person God has ordained to do His works fails to complete His Will, He works through another.  It was up to John the Baptist to follow Jesus and testify to the people about him his whole life.  Yet, John left Jesus's side and even had doubts that Jesus was the Messiah in the end.


John the Baptist's Failure Prolongs God's Will

Just as God's saints have a role to complete the process of restoring man, so do each of us.  We pray to seek God's answer to find out who the Messiah is that has returned now.  John the Baptist had been chosen while still inside the womb for the mission of attending Jesus. He led an arduous, ascetic life in the wilderness, building his ministry in order to prepare the way for the coming Messiah.

When Jesus began his public ministry, God revealed the identity of Jesus to John before anyone else and inspired John to bear witness to him as the Son of God. Yet John did not properly receive the grace that Heaven had bestowed on him. Therefore, when confronted with John's doubting question, Jesus did not answer explicitly that he was the Messiah; he instead answered in a round about way.

No doubt, John the Baptist must have known about Jesus' miracles and signs. Despite this, Jesus gave a veiled answer, reminding John of the works that he was doing, with the hope of awakening him to his true identity.

We should understand that when Jesus said, "the poor have good news preached to them," he was expressing his deep sorrow over the disbelief of John the Baptist and the Jewish leadership. The prepared Jews, and John the Baptist in particular, were the rich people who had been blessed with an abundant wealth of God's love.

Yet because they all rejected Jesus, he had to roam the seacoast of Galilee and the region of Samaria to search among the "poor" for those who would listen to the Gospel. These poor ones were uneducated fishermen, tax collectors and prostitutes.

The disciples whom Jesus would have preferred to find were not the disciples who followed him. Since Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, he was more in need of one leader who could guide a thousand, than a thousand who would follow a leader.

Did he not first preach the Gospel to the priests and scribes in the Temple? He went there in search of prepared and capable people.

Nonetheless, as Jesus indicated in a parable, because the guests who were invited to the banquet did not come, he had to roam the streets and byways to gather the poor and maimed, the blind and lame

Instead of having John the Baptist, who everyone revered as a prophet himself, testify unto death that Jesus was the one, Jesus was rejected.  This means, God's complete will for Jesus was also rejected and then the dispensation has to wait for another prepared nation, central figure, and people to accept the coming of the Second Advent.  This is not God's will.  He wants to restore the world as soon as possible, not make His children wait in suffering for 2, 0000 years.


Revelations Prophesy Of Christians Missing Second Coming

There are words that tell us who the returned Messiah is in each the Old and New Testament.  Each time the Messiah came, people "did not know their time of visitation or they would not have crucified the man of glory."

Do you think you will see him or are you still looking up in the sky waiting?  The bible prophesied that many stars would fall from the sky when the coming man. 

If we take this passage literally then Jesus comes to bring literal fire to the earth and only take his followers.  Or we take it as symbol and it is the stars/follower and many will fall/miss him because the fire/word of judgement is the truth he brings. 

How many have already missed the beginning of the Restoration Process? 

It says that "If they knew the time of their visitation, they would not have crucified the son of God."  Many Israelites missed the First Coming just as millions of Christians are missing the Second Coming.

Many religions profess that Jesus was a prophet, yet stop there.  Even his own people, Jews, do not believe he was the Messiah and are still looking for the first Messiah to come.

If you were told directly who the Messiah is, you would no doubt deny it. 

Millions of followers believe that Jesus's people, disciples and religious leaders of his time were absolutely following the law of God's preordained mission.  There were so many mistakes by people God had prepared for Jesus, it is amazing their mistakes are still seen as part of God's ideal plan for the Messiah.   

First followers believe that the people did not deny Jesus as the Messiah and that he was supposed to suffer from birth to death.  But when we truly read Jesus's words, we can see his agonizing heart always trying to show the people of Israel that he was God's son.

For example, when the people asked him what should they do to perform the works of God, Jesus replied:
This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent. , John 6:29
One day, when he was agonizing over the Pharisees' disbelief and having no one with whom to share his heart.  Jesus looked down worked hard through Moses to prepare His people for the coming of the Lord.

 On another occasion, Jesus lamented the stubbornness and disbelief of the people of Jerusalem, saying:
You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. , John 5:39-40
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me . . . if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. , John 5:43-46Yes, Jesus spent his 3 years of ministry trying to prove that he was doing the work of God and that he was the fulfillment of the scriptures.  Does this show that everyone was following God's plan to the letter?

Then we say that Jesus was accepted.  The people treated him as the Son of God that is what Palm Sunday is about.

Yes, people were starting to believe.  But it takes more than just belief when God's son calls you to pick up your cross and follow him.  It requires action!  Faith without work is dead, this refers to stop just believing in Jesus and do his works.

Just as in Jesus's time, the Messiah has returned and spent the beginning of his life in extreme opposition.  It is up to everyone to pray and find in their hearts first, research and find if this is not true.

Many people did not even see Jesus as the Messiah when he was physically on earth.  Even after he was healing the sick and walking on water, people judge him with unfaithful eyes and said that he was using satan's powers. 

Who is the returned Messiah?  If the people had asked God when Jesus had proclaimed he was the one that Moses, our world's history would have substantially changed.  We have been told all of our lives that Jesus was supposed to be rejected and persecuted - that is absolutely correct, but for a certain time period not unto death. 


Jesus's Crucifixion is God's Last Choice, Not First

Yes, persecution is the very means that an individual attains perfection.  Jesus obtained perfection, yet, he was even abandoned at the end by his own disciples. People say, no, they stood with him till the end. 

Three times Jesus told them that his heart was heavy and he needed their support by praying.  Three times they fell asleep instead of supporting him - he told them to wake up twice.  This means that Jesus did not have his own follower's devotion at the end.

So, God had no choice but to use the last resort which was the cross.  God's first choice was that Jesus be accepted and glorified as the Son of God with Israel as his followers and together they could conquer Rome.

Will we know Jesus when he returns?  One thing we know for sure, God is mysterious in his way toward Restoration. 

Israelites were led out of Egypt by Moses who murdered a man, Jesus came from a lineage of women who seemingly betrayed their family and Jesus the Son of God came from the Middle East, was poor,  and nailed before his people.  These all have significance when you know God's process to bring about a pure lineage.

So, when the Messiah returns, thousands of people and Christians are going to miss him.  It is up to each individual to ask God to make sure they know that he has returned.  They will be looking up to the sky when Jesus will return the way he left, through a physical body.

To know what a Messiah is and why he is different from prophets of other religions, this information can save many people and will be able to recognize him in our time.


What Is A Messiah, What Does He Do?

In the beginning, God did not create the world in which He has to go through a mediator in order to share love with His children.  We currently seek salvation through a mediator.  Does a God of love wish for this eternally? 

Would a God of love give up, return to relinquish fire on the earth and say "You won Satan, I'll just take these few of my children, you can have the rest?" Isn't that what we have been believing all our life?

His Will was that His Children would choose to wait for the blessing.  Because they did not heed his warning of "do not eat" He took several pains throughout history in order to bring them back to His original ideal plan for humankind. This dream was to realize Heaven on Earth.

Within the religious realm, there is the belief in the Second Coming of the Messiah. Then, who is the Messiah?

The Messiah is the one whom God loves most.

What kind position is most loved by God? God loves the messiah, whom He sent, but in what type of position is He to be able to express His love to him. There are many people who are standing in front of God as representatives, for example, of the nation, the society, or some other organization.


What kind of a person is the Messiah?

The Messiah is the first person who has the same mind of love and the same direction of love as God. The Messiah is the first born son of God. Jesus was God's only son, His only child. To be an only child means to receive the parent's total love, from the beginning to the end. God is the absolute subject and the Messiah stands in God's sphere.

Their relationship is the relationship of parent and child. He is the one who is born as God's first son and receives the fullness of God's love given to the individual, family, clan, society, nation, and the world. He is qualified to receive the love transcending all these spheres. This is the Messiah. He is God's beloved child.

Since man has been lost as a result of the fall on the earth, he must be recreated on the earth. People desire the Messiah, who knows heaven. This human world deeply desires its proper subject of love and this yearning is the Messianic Expectation.

The Messiah must be welcomed on the world level, beyond the individual, clan and even national levels. The entire world will be able unite with a man of God's love, as the absolute subject.

Self-centeredness cannot exist anymore. To create the environment so that one exists only for the sake of the Lord was the mission of the Old Testament age and of the New Testament age. The mission of both of these ages was also to create an Eve, a spouse, for the Messiah.  This is what was left unfinished at the crucifixion.


Messiah Returns But Not Alone

It makes absolute sense that if God has a True Son who has restored fallen Adam; He also wants a True Daughter who restores fallen Eve.  When in history has this been fulfilled?

Once restored Eve absolutely follows the Messiah, this expands to the world through their family. Opposition to the Messiah will diminish. In this environment, the entire world will be automatically connected to the subject of love at one point.

To create such an environment on the world level was the mission of the Old Testament age and of the New Testament age. Accordingly, present day Christianity and Judaism must completely follow the Returned Messiah.

Christians and believers of Judaism who have been keeping their faith are supposed to offer everything when the Messiah comes. Their faith teaches perfect obedience to the Messiah. Yet what is the reality of today's Christians? What about Judaism today?

 If a religion desires only its own success on the earth, and disregards the returning Messiah and blocks the victorious completion of God's dispensation, it will be a total failure.

Don't you see the decline in Christianity and Catholicism?

Many say, "But our pews are filled, the churches are growing." Is this what impresses God?  Do numbers impress God?  Decline means that the power that religion had to change people's hearts toward God has declined because they are disregarding the returning of the Messiah.  Atheism is on the rise and God has been taken out of our schools.

Who can deny the thousands of pastors and religious leaders who have degraded the name of the church for their own pleasures and world renown?  How about the scandals coming out of the Catholic priest?  Is this due to the church obeying God's order in the Last Day?

No, it is directly linked to millions of people of faith missing the Messiah who has returned.

Any religion with this kind of attitude will be completely broken in the Last Days, as if hit by God's heavenly hammer.

In this period of the Last Days, Christians in the world are looking for the Second Coming, but if we analyze the motivation of their desire, it is usually, "I want to be saved:" There is no concern for God's victory on the world level. They may say, "I want to go to the Heavenly Kingdom, and I want my family and my country to be saved."

The furthest limit is usually, "I want the Messiah to return to save my country."  But people of faith must go beyond the country to the end of the world; they must enlarge their concern to the spiritual world. Yet most cannot go beyond their own self, and this spells success for Satan. As long as this standard remains, God's world cannot be reborn.

Are there going to be millions of Christians that will fulfill the prophesy in Revelations: Stars will fall from the sky?  Stars meaning followers led by Jesus.  Will millions miss him because they are looking in the sky instead of looking for him on the earth?

Reconciliation Between Religions

Written by Denise Morris

A milestone was marked recently when two religions that have been plagued with distrust decided for a higher approach toward the future. 

The Associated Pressed reported that Leaders from Russia’s Orthodox church and Poland’s Catholic church both signed documents Friday urging their respective nations to each have forgiveness for the past during their feud that has lasted many centuries.
 

 This historical signing commemorated the first time a Russian patriarch has officially visited the country. This groundbreaking reconciliation is a monumental step forward toward bridging the gaps between the two denominations.

The official story is below:

UN Marks Today as World Humanitarian Day

The article today was meant to be "Free Will and World Peace" but I need more research through Reverend Moon's textbooks to accurately rewrite this article. 

Luckily today happens to fall on World Humanitarian Day.  CNN reported today that The United Nations General Assembly marked this day to honor workers you have put their lives on the line to help those who live in destitute, conflict-ridden areas around the world.

“On August 19, 2012, it is high time we rise together. Do one thing for another human being. Nothing is too small," said internationally popular singer Beyonce. She is lending her glamour and star power to a global campaign that aims to shine a spotlight on humanitarian work and to encourage people everywhere to do something good for others.

Here is the original story:

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/19/world/world-humanitarian-day/index.html?npt=NP1

Of course, everyday is Humanitarian Day when we do something for our global brothers and sisters who are in dire need.  Have a beautiful Sunday or Monday wherever you may be in the World!

World Peace Leader's Condition Stabilizes

At 92 years old, people wondered if Reverend Moon is even human due to the fact that he still travels the world and different cities giving peace speeches and marrying millions of people through International Blessing. 

These speeches have reached and touched the hearts of millions including Gorbachev and Kim Il Sung. 

Here he is pictured in a photo with his wife Hak Ja Han Moon who is in her 70s.  This is a recent photo, but not taken today as he is still in a deep sleep.

His speeches and textbooks will continue to cause a stir and will appear on this new blog.  Thank you for your interest and you can read the official letter from his granddaughter Ariana Moon below.

Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Condition Stabilizing

Ariana Moon
Published: 17/08/12

News of Unification Church Founder Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s illness, which shook Unificationists around the world earlier this week, has moved thousands to rededicate their faith and set conditions that involve prayer vigils, fasting, bowing and scripture-reading. Rev. Moon, known as “True Father” by church members, was reported to have contracted pneumonia and checked into the intensive care unit of St. Mary’s Hospital in Seoul on August 14, 2012. Yesterday, August 16, 2012, Vice President of the Unification Church in Korea Dr. Joon Ho Seuk delivered in what is his second letter to the worldwide movement the welcome news that Rev. Moon’s breathing had stabilized.

Rev. Joshua Cotter, vice president of the Unification Church in the U.S. said: “Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s family and his worldwide family of faith are encouraged and giving thanks upon hearing the news that his breathing has stabilized. Nonetheless, our brothers and sisters continue to pray and fast for his quick recovery at St. Mary’s Hospital in Seoul.

“We thank the larger family of concerned clergy of all Christian faiths who also have given notice that Father Moon is in their prayers as well.”

“This morning I was informed by the hospital that True Father’s respiration is more stable than it was yesterday, and that his lung function is in the midst of gradual recovery,” wrote Dr. Seuk. “True Father is still in a deep sleep for treatment, but I believe True Father is aware of the fervent jeongseong [a term created by Rev. Moon meaning “true and sincere devotion”] and prayers of the entire worldwide Unification Family, beginning with those of True Mother [Rev. Moon’s wife] and the True Children [Rev. Moon’s children]. I firmly believe True Father will recover.”

In his letter, Dr. Seuk thanked members worldwide for offering jeongseong for the sake of Rev. Moon’s return to full health in the form of prayer vigils and fasting conditions. “We have always been receiving from True Parents; now we pray that our small jeongseong can reach Heaven and be used to bring about True Father’s swift recovery,” he said.

Rev. Moon’s wife and children have gathered at the hospital to pray by his side. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit must be kept absolutely at rest, and it is therefore not possible to touch or embrace the patient, according to Dr. Seuk. However, Mrs. Moon and her children have gained doctors’ permission to massage Rev. Moon’s legs, arms and other parts of his body, which Dr. Seuk says has “accumulated the toils of ninety-two years of the providence,” to the extent that it assists his treatment.

Rev. Moon, himself a firm believer in oriental massage therapy, recently opened the first school of oriental medicine in Nevada, the Wongu Peace and Happiness University (WPHU), which was approved by the States of Nevada Board of Oriental Medicine on April 18, 2012 and is welcoming prospective students for the upcoming Fall semester, starting October 1, 2012.

World Peace Leader Fighting for His Life

The official letter is further down concerning his condition.

 

If you have enjoyed this new blog started only a week ago which focuses on World Peace you know I derive the text from 8 textbooks taught at Unification Theological Seminary and from several speeches.  The founder of the Seminary is now battling for his life fighting pneumonia. 

Even though these are not my teachings, I rewrite them into conversation form to make it an easier to understand read.  I've been studying Unification Thought for 7 years and it is a very rich and deep teaching of the history of the bible and God's process of restoring man toward His idea he had at the beginning which is the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth called World Peace. 

These teachings come from Dr. Reverend Sun Myung Moon who fights for Peace based on the bible and has been persecuted all of his life for it.  He has been able to bring 1,000s of religious leader from different faiths together and see they all belong to the same God as brothers and sisters. 


He has married millions in an international Mass Weddings from different religions, races, faiths, cultures and nations in a worldwide blessing ceremony every two to three years.  All for bringnig about God's mandate for peace.  His persecution is from those who never knew him, just fear that he is a false prophet, do your own research.  It's up to each person.

And as an advocate of peace he demonstarted it in his own life when he went to North Korea to talk to his own enemey Kim Il Sung, who tried to have him executed during the Korean War.  Everyone believed he would be murdred but instead after his talk about religion, he walked hand in hand with Kim Il Sung and called him his brother.  Reverend Moon was so outspoken against Communism in the 80s it was a big deal when he went to Russia to have talks with Gorbachev.

 Kim Il Sung had imprisioned Dr. Moon for his religious beliefs and then his heart was changed before he died. 

This is just a small example of how the call he was given since he had met Jesus at 16 was a determination that he would die for. 

He is the only religious leader who has had as large of a foundation while the founder is still living - and now he has a 50/50 chance of life while he battles pnuemonia.  He has millions of ministers, followers and hopefuls praying for him and your good thoughts toward him would be appreciated. 

His members call him "True Father" and he is from Korea, millions call him "Prince of Peace."  He has had many struggles and many people betray him during his long 92 year fight walking alongside Jesus and many persecutors even some reading this. 

Even his son Hyun Jin Nim who has betrayed him by taking much of his church foundation and yet his son is by his side right now.  If you want ot know more detail about his condition read the official letter below or visit familyfed.org for updates.

Many may post or have ugly thoughts when they hear the word "Reverend Moon" but it's best for each person to find out for themselves who he is and not be told.  Look across the internet and you'll see many horrible words about him, then when you look at other articles and post you'll see through his works that God is working with him - it's up to you. 

I will continue to post daily from one of the 8 textbooks, and if you would like to know more about him, I do not change the content of his words so you are getting the meaning from my posts. 

Below is a letter from Dr. Joon Ho Seuk, the International Vice-President of the Unification Church in Korea.

Dear beloved brothers and sisters,

I offer my heartfelt appreciation to all members who are offering jeongseong* for the speedy recovery of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, our True Father.

I know that your greatest concern at this time is True Father’s health. Therefore, I would like to share some recent developments regarding True Father.

The doctor’s opinion yesterday had indicated that the next forty-eight hours would be critical and that Father’s chances were 50/50. We understand that True Father’s condition has not greatly changed since yesterday but the doctor mentioned this morning that a lot of the swelling had subsided and that he saw some improvement compared to the previous day. I firmly believe that True Father will pull through.

Early in the morning on August 15, 2012, Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, the international president of the Unification Church and youngest son of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, had personally or through his assistants contacted all his brothers and sisters, known by church members as the "True Children."

True Father's wife Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon or our True Mother, and his children consisting of Hyung Jin Moon's family, Kook Jin Moon's family, In Jin Moon's family, Yeon Jin Moon and Jeong Jin Moon, are watching over the hospital room 24 hours a day while offering prayer and jeongseong. Today we expect Ye Jin Moon, Kwon Jin Moon and his wife, Eun Jin Moon and Sun Moon's family to arrive.

I am sure that many of our brothers and sisters were concerned about Hyun Jin Moon, but fortunately he was contacted. He came to the hospital and visited True Father, who was in a deep sleep.

Yesterday at 6:00 p.m., the Korean Headquarters of the Unification Church invited elder members, relatives of True Parents, heads of providential organizations and key leaders and briefed them in detail of True Father’s circumstances. They resolved to offer prayer and jeongseong together with the entire Unification Family for True Father’s recovery. We have also heard that many members of the Unification Family throughout the world, after hearing the news about True Father, voluntarily began fasting, offering vigil night prayers and other jeongseong.

Like the old saying that sincerity moves Heaven, I believe that our sincerity andjeongseong shall reach Heaven and that we will surely see True Father in good health again.

Thank you.

Dr. Joon Ho Seuk

President of the Korean Church

*Jeongseong is a term invented by Rev. Sun Myung Moon, meaning "true and sincere devotion." "True" means with full attentiveness and constant prayer. "Sincere" means confident, selfless, compassionate and forgiving. "Devotion" means embodiment and action despite difficulty. According to Rev. Moon, Jeongseong is to love others even more than you love God, which brings God’s grace and blessing.

God Planned the World of Peace

Why do all of the 60s rock stars and talent shows always talk about or give symbols of peace? It was more than a way for contestants on the Miss America Pageant to win the hearts of the judges. Why do we want it so much. On an individual level we all desire to have peace with our husbands, our neighbors and the people we see at work.

Why don't we have World Peace when so many people want it?

Throughout history people have worked continuously for peace based on human efforts alone.  We look externally at the confrontation between democracy and communism and see the differences between the two ideologies how they assure to individual rights and freedoms.

Then we can look from the viewpoint of God's providence and view them as two children who have lost their parents.  They repeat the relationship of the first two brothers in written history, Cain and Abel and become trapped in the chains of fraternal conflict. 

Human Effort Alone Will Not Bring Peace

Throughout history, peace movements would come to an end and fail to bring peace because they were started and carried out by imperfect human beings.  This is also why the UN which was founded to bring the nations together for peace has also failed to bring an end to wars.  The UN is limited and should confess that it can no longer be the hope to bring World Peace.

 This is why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world
peace, today must admit its inherent limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity.

Why God Created Human Beings

The same as an artist and architect draw plans before they create, God had made a plan how the world would interact with one another. He started surprisingly from the model of a perfect being - Man.

Yes, man was not created first, but all that preceded man was created in accordance to the model of God's ideal man. Look at the universe, look at the mountains, leaves, Eco-system and our own internal system and see that it is model after man.

Why did God create Human Beings?  He created them for one purpose and it's not what everyone even the religious think.

 First when God created human beings He made Adam representing all men and Eve representing all women with the intention that they would mature and grow in His true love.  Through this parent-child relationship with God, they would live in attendance to God as their Father and form a True Family embodying God's ideal of peace.

They would cultivate true love through living as one family with God, experiencing joy eternally.  No sadness, depression or divorce would have ever been entered into creation. 

So this is why God created Humans: to experience joy through relating through a family such as this, an ideal families filled with true love.

Science shows that there were other types of beings besides homo sapiens during the biblical account of the first human beings.  But, God created Adam and Eve as the first ancestors of humankind to form the model family, establish the ideal of peace and grow the family of peace into a tribe, clan, nation and then it would reach world of peace. 

And quickly based on this ideal world we would have advanced science quickly and by Jesus's time we would have been to the moon.

Furthermore we would have engulfed the entire cosmos with this true love and been the mediators between the spiritual world and physical worlds.  That means when your loved one dies, God did not plan for there to be sadness.  Spirit world and the physical world would be able to interact freely. 

With our original form and character we would be subject over the spiritual world unlike now when spiritual world dominates humanity for its own evil purpose. 

That means, death is the completion of the ideal of creation as one enters from water, into breathing the air, into their spiritual life as naturally as a butterfly still able to interact freely with humanity.  Having reached full maturity in God's love, when a person then dies, they are no longer limited by their fleshly bodies attached to the earth and take full advantage of the world of creation as a spirit being.

God Strives to Restore Humanity

God must have grieved at losing His ideal for His children in the Garden of Eden.  So, it's possible that He being the Supreme Being would never give up on restoring His children back to their ideal.  Even today as religions enter a new millennium, they have not been able to completely restore humans back to the ideal of creation.

God determines to completely realize the ideal that He implemented from the beginning. God's process of restoring human beings back to His original purpose begins with us as individuals.

This is just the start of how a True Family will lead to a world of peace.  Tomorrow's post will focus more on an ideal of True Family is still in God's plan for us today.

Notes:

This text was taken from one of the 8 textbooks of Dr. Sun Myung Moon and written in everyday conversational tone.

To learn more about the teachings and the Unification Movement - the world's fastest growing global community, please visit www.familyfed.org.

How Will World Peace Look?

We Are The World shook the earth in the 80s uniting every mega singer of its time to lend their powerful voices to feed children in Africa.  Americans remember Hands Across America and we tried to Save The Whales.  The Reagan years - ah so peaceful.

Yet, hunger still exist.

If human beings had not fallen in the Garden of Eden and followed and believed God's word to not eat, one global family would have formed from our first human ancestors.  We would share a common language and be able to communicate with anyone in the world.

Worldwide Language

Instead as people populated the world several languages arose that kept people of other lands from freely communicating with one another.  When humanity severed direct communication and a TRUE relationship with God, several languages came from descendant's of Noah who built the Tower of Babel.  Before that Noah's descendants all shared a common language.

We all stem from a common ancestor yet we cannot truly share our deepest feelings with one another because we speak different languages.

The idea world composes of one global family who share a common language which unifies all the languages.  The language will come from where the language the Messiah speaks.

By speaking one language, all humanity will establish one global nation under God.

Human Relations

If the world to come is inevitable then that means God prepares us for it.  He has always guided humanity back to the original idea He had during creation.  This answers:

Why does history repeat itself?

Because human history is the history of providential restoration.  In a sense, everything that went wrong, is made right and is repeated until restoration is completed.  No one ever gets a degree if they fail their classes, they have to repeat that class - same material over and over and over sometimes with a different teacher until they pass.  War has repeated until evil is eradicated completely from the earth then a new history begins.

How Will Humans Interact?

Humans will be taught based on a higher ideology that unites the world's religions, cultures and nations.  This ideology will lead humans back to their original positions they forfeited by following Lucifer lower will who said do eat, Eve, follow my words.

Jesus was not supposed to be the only True Son of God.  He had a much higher purpose. 

People fell so far that we look up to the angels and nature as higher than humanity.  Jesus was the first to become a true person who completed the purpose God had in mind when he created humans.  since we fell we could not fully understand the Will and Heart of God, we need a mediator.  The mediator gave a higher truth then Moses's Ten Commandments.  He gave us the New Testament word and when as the Messiah returns, he gives us the Completed Testament through a higher ideology.

In order to enjoy world peace, each human must restore themselves to the position before the fall, and follow the course to completely separate from Satan as the Messiah does.  Then we will be restored, like the Messiah, back to our original purpose God created us to have.  A person of this stature, such as Jesus, will put others first before themselves.

Imagine a world where people treat each other as true brothers and sisters - a world full of Jesus's.  If someone falls in love with his brother's wife, he will not entice her away from him because he puts the brother's tortured heart over his own. 

A person that wants revenge on someone who took their wife will not murder them because they understand how their mother, God and others will be deeply devastated.  And so on and so on. 

Laws no matter how strict are going to continuously be broken because desires of the heart even if they are based on false love, are stronger than principles - no matter how strong the punishment.  This is why the strongest men of faith were willing to give up everything and go to hookers, or cheat on their wives based solely on emotions.  In a peaceful world where you live for the other, this desire may arise, but one will think more of the other's feelings.

In a world that lives by the higher truth the Messiah brings, they will live for others as their own brothers and sisters.  That means your teacher, your boss, your next door neighbor, the person in the pew you will treat them wholeheartedly as brother and sister.

A world full of people like this and you will be able to leave the doors unlocked, because people will not harm their brother.  People won't go hungry, because they rather feed others in need before themselves.  You will be able to travel anywhere and knock on any door and they will give you a place to stay for the night.

Mothers will be less stressed when they need to do errands with the children tagging along because they will trust their next door neighborhood to watch the little ones for awhile because living for others, people take action to help more those who are distressed.

But don't confuse caring for others as free handouts as the recipient just takes.   World full of peace will not have a system of just giving to people freely to solve the problem.  Isn't that what is happening now?  No matter how much food is given, or programs to solve problems it gets worse. 

This is the problem with welfare systems.

Social System

Today's Europe  and America's runaway social welfare system will collapse the country.  History has shown that free stuff has a price.  FDR said 100 years ago that welfare is a narcotic.

Let's put it into the context of the Garden of Eden.  There are four entities in the Garden of Eden.  Adam, Eve, Lucifer and God.  Lucifer is an angel whose purpose was to serve God's children and raise and teach them in God's ways.  Okay.

Government is supposed to be the servant of the people. Back in the 1800s government played only a small role over people's lives.  Now, our government has the most control since our nation's birth. 
Through history this is how Government controlled its people instead of serving it.

1. Tyranny- 100% control over all property and people
2. Socialism - 70% control and equally distributes wealth/poverty
3. Social Welfare - 50% control over people, wealth and property


Through popularism, the servant government has transferred from government to dominating the people.

What happened in the Garden of Eden?  The servant tempted Eve away from God and Adam - the Fall of Man.  Government repeats this on a Societal level.  Instead of serving the true interest of the people, it seduces them away from God and family.  Saying "listen to me instead, I will solve all your problems."  Isn't that what all the dictators told the working classes?

1. It seduces women with "free-health care".  Welfare encourages that mothers stay single(divorce) to receive benefits. The more children one has the more rewards they receive no matter how many different men they must bed to have these children (morals).

2. They hire mostly men who make the laws.

God is excluded from every part of society from school and so on. 

The servant Government unrightfully dominates God's children and becomes master.  Ladies, free stuff comes at a price and one eventually lose their freedom and become slave to the master.

Do you pay taxes on stuff you bought and own?  Why pay tax on money you made only to pay it again when you spend that money on property, on your house, land and car when it is yours?  That's the government telling you do not truly own it.  So who owns what you continue to pay for?  Well, all that free stuff Welfare is giving comes at what price?

It has been proven that when public schools are given more government money the test scores decline by 27%.

Self-Regulating Society = World Peace

Humanity needs to take the middle man out of their lives.  Heaven on Earth will be full of citizens who do not need laws to tell them what NOT to do.  Government will control 5% or less of society.

A world of peace will be governed by the people and will need minimal governmental interference except for small things, for instance to register private property.  There will be freedom in the marketplace.

In other words, the peaceful world will have self-regulation, self-business ex.  It will be a society without law and based on freedom and free will.

People ask how will we regulate criminals and the such?

Good question.  Answer it in the next post: World Peace Police, World Peace Military.



When Will We See a Free Society?

World Peace is going to happen, that's God's mandate.  When is up to every person.  Even if war and hunger end, the past still exists and will need to be restore.  It is said to take 10 generations to clear a wrong path in every direction.

We do not know the exact second when night turns into day, but I truly believe that in one million years, the world will not be destroyed and it will not be the hell it is for good people who want to do good anymore.  Satan will be conquered.

It might be tomorrow.  Unfortunately, God was good enough to place all the power in our hands and trust us to choose the right paths.  Even God can not go outside His own laws and finish this last task for us.  Restoration of the world is going to take work.  Work that all people of faith daily work to build.

Is World War III Inevitable? Part II

How many movies fantasize about Armageddon? 

We always win, and there is always The One who sacrifices to save us so we can go back to eating hamburgers and watching mindless television.  And they always involve robots or aliens or ...  Zombies.

The previous post spoke about how World War III is inevitable based on Free Will. So based on humanity's global decision whether they choose to follow the The One on D-day or follow his enemy - there are two possible choices to be fought.

One way is to bring God's enemy to surrender through armed conflict and the other way is through an ideological, internal conflict that quickly brings the enemy to submission and participate in unification through an ideology that can resolve all historical conflicts.

We may say, that is what Regan did, but it was on an external front only based on the Washington Times's daily updates about our supposed Star Wars program. The enemies believed we possessed a defense system that would deplete every attack possible and then we could have the upper hand to attack back. So Gorbachev quit before starting World War III and surrendered.

Regan's defeat through the voluntary submission of the enemy was based solely on might - not because our ideology won the enemy over.

That is how wars and ideologies are fought - based on might. But the new war of ideologies will have to conquer one aspect of our enemies that rarely has happened in history. Jesus was the first teacher of it. What will the ideology that conquers without war have to defeat? The enemies Heart.

Conquer the enemy's heart and you truly have won. (Revenge makes everyone a loser no matter how just because of this one principle.) When do we do this in our own lives. The person in class we don't like or the one who picks on us. Do we immediately stop to pray for them or attack back in subtle ways. Do we win them over? Know how to win the toughest bully? Love them. Forget the kill them with kindness, kill them with true love and it is like placing a hot bed of coals on their heads.

If we have too much pride to do that in our own individual lives, how do we expect to do this on a worldwide front? Yes, you don't just sit there and let the bully destroy you, you are allowed to defend yourself - that is what justifiable war is and how America fought in the past. But then what happens? Two choices: We force them into our ways, dominate them in a way or they flee from us.

That's the history of wars. Domination.

World Peace Through Winning Enemies Heart

Win their heart toward what? An ideology they live by. During the Third World War, God's side will base their life on a new ideology that can unify all of the different faiths, beliefs, races and nations. So, which existing ideology can completely unify the world?

Let's see, Communism attributed to millions of deaths in its past and its ideology was bringing about unification through force - without God. It has been proven again and again that this ideology falls short by working through absolute force, denying its people the freedoms that God gave us in the beginning so it will always fail in the end.

Democracy rose more on God's side but looking toward the past democratic world, it is an ideology based on popularity and laws and policies are based on a candidate's or party's individual interest, not benefiting the whole.  Freedom and Democracy are more prevalent today than in any other time in history.  Sadly, even under democracy, freedom is not secure and is not the final stage.


Existing ideologies come close but always takes steps backwards when it come to bringing the world into one united front. I have been told by many that we will have this struggle between good and evil forever and it's part of the world. Know who else bases their beliefs on this - Communism. A God-less ideology based solely on force not choice.

The struggle between classes was based on this: struggle or resistance is needed for an individual or nation to grow. I let people have their own beliefs, but it is hard for me not to share that I believe when Revelations speaks of the world ending via catastrophic means or however, I think it meant destruction to the enemy's evil sovereignty enslaving His earth. Then the bible says that the Messiah will bring a new truth and those who accept will be the only citizens on the earth. This is where Christians believe they will be the only ones left on earth when the Messiah conquers.

Look into history. What did the Messiah do the last time he came to earth? Was it to repeat the Old Testament? He came with the New Testament. A higher truth - it is history and can not be argued. Moses did not bring the New Testament, his people barely followed the Old Testament when he returned from his 40-day condition. God gives a level of the truth based on the times. So, he raised up Moses's people so they would be able to accept Jesus's New Testament. This is why God waits thousands of years - based on us.

So, as the Messiah returns, he again will bring a higher form of the truth - a new ideology. This new ideology will arise from the world of democracy. Democracy was implemented by God's people at the start, laws based on His words given to his chosen people.

In order to conquer the enemy peacefully, we will follow this ideology in our lives and win over our enemy's heart. Is it possible? Have you ever had someone taunting you or showing their power over you and their might and you answered them by either agreeing with them, sympathizing with them, or giving them something back with love?

You know who has? The Messiah and countless saints. How in the world could Jesus's meek followers conquer Rome? History shows us when conflict arose the Messiah conquered people with His words - words like and with love as its basis. And a meek man who lived 2, 000 years ago seemingly defeated continues to conquer the enemies heart today.

Why is today any different? The war over communism will truly end if we ourselves can live by the ideology of today. OR

What does history show us happens when we do not follow God on the national level?

World Peace Through Armed Conflict

We think this sounds contradictory. It is based on our Free Will. God always chooses the perfect way for us but said, if you choose my way there are blessings, if you choose outside my way there are curses.

Too, too many people in the bible give us examples. Go back to Moses's time. God wanted the Israelites to immediately go to Canaan and establish their nation. How long did that take?

They received God's judgment. This is why even though they could see Canaan right in front of them, it took them 40 years of living in the wilderness to reach it. And it was not even the ones who were led out of Egypt. It was their children.

After failing several times to follow, God attempted to restore this through a spy mission to Canaan for Forty days. When the spies - one from each tribe returned, they all gave a faithless report except Joshua and Caleb. The other spies said that their land was strong and cities were large and the men were great and they were the Israelites were the size of grasshoppers to them. Joshua and Caleb instead reported God's words:

Do not rebel against the Lord, and do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us, their protection is removed from them and the Lord is with us - do not fear them. - Numbers, 14:9

Who did they follow in  the end - God or the enemy? Moses's people tried to stone Joshua and Caleb. This last attempt to send His people to Canaan was thwarted by His own people and thus they had to spend 40 years waiting in the wilderness so God could restore the Israelites internally to follow Him and they did. Joshua and the younger generation who believed Joshua's report and followed Him into Canaan conquered the foes of Jericho.

What about today? God gives us choices everyday on an individual level and national level. Is America following God's way or the enemy's? The question is not whether there are faithful following the Messiah. The question is when Joshua gives us a report that we can go into the promised land will we stone him?

If we do not follow His messenger as he stands on a worldwide level the fate of those who do not follow will be just as those who wandered in the wilderness.

What will God's judgment be? He has done it in the bible several times. Those who do not follow His direction even to the end - is left unprotected.

Whether you know it or not, the truly faithful receive many blessings which include protection from their enemy's direct attacks including diseases (attacks, death and disease does not mean someone did something wrong - sometimes someone pays for the sins of their family past and present).

So, that means if America does not truly follow God - TRULY - in the end, if China happens to send us biological weapons of destruction and also to our allies - we will be unprotected.

We receive God's judgment representing America's faithlessness. What does his messenger look like, when does he bring this new ideology or how does one know? If people are looking to the sky for his return they will miss him - that means millions of Christians and people of faith are going to miss the Messiah's return - just as the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, just as many religious leaders persecuted Jesus etc, etc, many Christians will repeat history in our time.

It is up to you to find the new ideology. And when you hear it: those who have the ears to hear will hear it. And when you find the returned Messiah: those who have the eyes to see will see him.

Return for tomorrow's topic: What Will World Peace look like?

Today I paraphrased the majority of the teachings from 8 textbooks taught by Reverend Sun Myung Moon. I have been learning this teaching daily and hourly for 7 years.

Is World War III Inevitable? Part I

Many summer blockbusters make our hearts jump with the scenerio.  Could 9/11 on a national every city level happen?  I love Terminator because to me it comes so close to what we envision.  Instead of robots it will be humans that take over America.

At the close of the Regan years, the fall of communism's left hand over the world smashed into history. Yet, communism still exists today with absolute control over their own nation and citizens. The fall of the wall was a universal symbol that communism will no longer be a threat on the world level.

Then recently, China's military actions start alerting Americans again almost throwing us back to the times of daily fears of a nuclear attack. Times have changed since the nuclear threats of the 50s and 60s. Peruse thousands of articles and opinions and the common thought is if World War III happens, it will be with the use of chemicals and the country will not be North Korea or Russia but - China.

Humans Choose Blessing or Curses

To weigh whether World War III is inevitable one always has to look into the reasons of the past wars, their results and how war was avoided in the past. Some believe that World War III was supposed to happen in the 80s but Russia voluntarily submitted to Regan's "Bring down that wall" thwarting Armageddon.

So, why is there any mention of communism and the coming world war if there has been peace in a sense on a international level between the nations? The reason? Free Will.

Always there are two outcomes for every situation. God's way which He said yields blessings, and the other way which He said gives curses. The responsibility of choice is on different levels, from individual, nation to world-wide level. Unfortunately, Americans are currently choosing outside of God's way. In the past God's way to restore a people or a nation involved death, punishment or loss of power. Even though it is 2012, the modern age is ruled by the same law - and so is America.

Why World War Happens

Why does a peaceful God use war to restore the world toward His Will? Wars break out due to political, economic reasons and clashes of ideology. This is true for every war - even conflicts between individuals. The main causes of war are always a providential cause. There are four reasons why wars happen, but we’ll discuss the first two now.

1. World Wars have resulted because the enemy of God uses all of his powers in an all out offense to preserve his sovereignty on earth.

Since humans have fallen in the Garden of Eden, God has given all of His energy to bring humans back to their original positions they enjoyed before The Fall. Gradually century by century He has prepared people and nations on his side to end Satan's dominion over His children.

2. World Wars have occurred in order to fulfill the worldwide indemnity conditions to restore the three blessings that rightfully belonged to Adam and Eve.

We received a tainted version of the three blessings. The three true blessings were for humans to grow to individual perfection then two perfect individuals marry, raise an ideal family, and their children would multiply and the third blessing was to have dominion over the earth.

We believe this already happened, but it hasn't. Or else, we could end communism, we could completely make Satan surrender as a True Child of God and control the environment. This has not happen so it must be fulfilled on all levels.

World War III is Inevitable Based on Free Will

Inevitability means an end result will happen matter-of-factly, but we must remember we have the gift of choice. World Peace was supposed to happen in Jesus's times, but mistakes happened and he must return to give a brighter Testament to God's people.  So when he returns, we as people of faith must join with him.  

With the Messiah we must bring God's enemies to submission without weapons (like Regan) but this time the enemy must internally submit based on the new truth the Messiagh brings.  If we don't - then it is inevitable World War III will happen. World War III is completely based on the choices of those on God’s side.

God gave us dominion through freewill. So we can choose Blessings or Curses. In Jesus's time his own disciples did not choose blessings by deserting him in the end and look what happened to the nation and his people.

When he returns, will he find those willing to have strong faith to stand up against the opposing forces and receive blessing (Heaven on Earth) or will God have no choice but to issue us curses (World War III)? It is a decision for those who truly have faith in God to plant their roots deeply in faith and we will control the outcome.

Part II focuses on the two choices to bring about World Peace and what kind of ideology it will take to conquer God's enemies eternally.
