These are special times that we're living in right now. But because we're actually in it we don't really appreciate it as someone, for example, from the future who would point to our time and say, "Wow, that was when it all started to happen!" It would all be so totally clear.

Here's what I'm thinking: I remember when President Trump declared that the attack on America through the weaponized Wuhan Flu was more terrible that the attack on America at the time of Pearl Harbor. It sounds like rhetoric or hyperbole but, what if it was just a bald statement of fact? When we look at the results of the world-wide virus (Covid19) it caused a huge amount of ruckus. Travel bans were put in place, lockdowns were effected, emergency powers were invoked at both Federal and State levels, Masks were mandated as a precursor to mandatory vaccines and voting laws were changed (without due process) that increased the chance of fraud to a significant degree. 

I am sure that there was a significant level of fraud at the time of the mid-term elections. I'm talking about 2018 here. I was taking part in canvassing by joining my local GOP and going house to house in Springfield MO, even though I'm not an American citizen and can't vote. I am, however, a legal alien and I love this country as you will know if you've read any of my earlier blogs. There is an astonishing amount of personal freedom in the USA that I didn't really appreciate until we actually came to live here about 4 years ago. I'm not just talking about the right to bear arms. I think a lot of Americans need to visit other countries to get a better grasp of just how great this country actually is; even now, in spite of what has happened this year.

This country was stolen in the last election which is why I get a little bit mad when I hear of politicians talking about 2022 and 2024. The 'insurrection' of January 6th shut the door on voter fraud investigations but couldn't stop them completely although every single one has faced obfuscation and delays.

It seems that Trump was well aware of voter fraud in 2018. As I said I was taking part in Canvassing and I was really surprised that there was no debriefing after all that canvassing, from the GOP, about the reasons why the House was lost. 

So, what if there were actual consequences, that directly resulted from that comment, that the attack on America through that bio-weapon was an actual attack that invoked emergency powers - like devolution? This would make sense of the prophecy from Kim Clement about this being the time of 2 Presidents. The real one that is hidden, and the fake one that is visible. The real result couldn't be enforced at the time of the transfer of power on January 20th due to the result being in dispute and the very real possibility of riots (like those that occurred throughout the summer of 2020 - the 'peaceful' protests) that could have led to a civil war. If America had become embroiled in staged riots and this had gotten out of control it could become something that couldn't be controlled - like a forest fire. 

This meant that the fake administration and white house has been on display since 2020. A little bit like satan himself taking over the reins of leadership directly in the last place on this planet where there is a semblance of true freedom.

In earlier times the evil was always there but it was in the background and hidden. Now, it is center-stage and abundantly visible to anyone who is looking. That is quite a huge difference. You would think that what happened in Afghanistan would encourage the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) to go right ahead and attack Taiwan. It is interesting that the 'outgoing' Administration made a concrete pact with Taiwan while they were still in power.

The riots and possible civil war that could have taken place back in January if the electoral results had been challenged leading to an unprecedented situation that would be potentially difficult to control have now changed. There would be many who would heave a sigh of relief if the present administration were to be seriously challenged now. 'We the people' would be on the side of that as well as a significant number of people worldwide who have looked to America as a source of hope.

This is the singular good thing that has happened from the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan: that everyone can see that the present administration in the white house is corrupt, illegitimate and (astonishingly) incompetent.

I can't help drawing comparisons with the 'Berlin wall' that came down in 1989. I had taken part in rallies denouncing the Wall with Hyo-Jin Moon (eldest son of Rev. Sun Myung Moon). I never thought that it could come down so naturally and easily. I actually spent Christmas with an East German family in 1989 that I had met while operating a Jewelry Stand (as a means of fundraising for our church). It was amazing to be there in Chemnitz (formerly Karl Marx Stadt) right on the border with Czech Republic. The people started to knock down the wall, and no-one stopped them.

We have become so accustomed to living under satan's dominion. Just like the East Germans became accustomed to living under the GDR (German Democratic Republic ! ! !) With the wall made to keep people in. The Founding Fathers made this Nation to be one centered upon God, with a government of, by and for the people. It is surprising that it has endured for so long. Now all Americans (or, at least, a significant, critical number) are starting to appreciate how important this nation is. And that if this nation is lost, then it is very serious for the entire world. 

However, this nation cannot just be returned to 'we the people' if we are not ready to appreciate and receive it. Just as Rev. Moon brought to the fore-front the element of the human portion of responsibility (with which even God cannot interfere: because we are created - unlike all other  creation - in the direct image of God) we have to become made anew by engaging with the thought and teaching that has been brought by the Lord of the Second Coming. As you know, Jesus lamented that he couldn't speak the plain truth but had to use parables and inference. 

Jesus said, I have come to cast fire on the earth and wish that it were already kindled. (Luke 12:49 - 'Fire' meaning God's Word) Jesus also said, I have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. A little later he said, I have been speaking to you figuratively but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you figuratively, but speak plainly to you of the Father (God). John 16. He was, of course, speaking about the time of the Second Coming. Which, if you've been paying attention, will know took place shortly after WW1

Hoping that you'll take these eschatological signs seriously and strive to get up to speed with being in alignment with God. When all is said and done that is the only thing that really matters.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter, thank You for reading my 'thinking aloud'.

It's not necessary that everybody knows, just a sufficient number such that a tipping point can be reached and then surpassed. Then it will never again be business as usual. The false god of this world will be banished forever. The "woke" has been shown to be the tool of a particular agenda that doesn't have the best interests of  'we the people" at its core, but, actually the opposite. The false has always preceded the true right from the very start. There is a great awakening taking place that is a major re-evaluation of the very purpose of life. It is to do with our relationship with God, and not at all to do with material acquisition, positions of power etc. 

This has been a surprising year already with evil being on full display whereas before it was in the background and hidden. Now the policies and agenda of government that regards You as its property can be seen as cause and result.

What do we know so far? One of the first things was the issue of gender; with legitimacy being given to those who identify as something other than what they actually are. The energy pipeline from Canada was also cancelled setting a trend to take away the status of America from being energy independent. The construction of the border wall was halted with policies to deter illegal immigration taking place to be summarily rescinded leading to the chaos that we now see at the southern border. The fact that the lives of children and young women are being put in harms way as a direct result of these policies had not been addressed by the main-steam media (aka fake news - everybody knows . . .) The response to Covid19 (which everybody now knows is a bio-weapon from a lab in WuHan) is now sought to be used as a means to mandate vaccination even though it has shown to be not as effective as promised and also (information from VAERS no less) to have more side effects than any other vaccine ever. You may know that a Bill to mandate a vaccination passport to travel is in process.

​Everybody knows too, that a $4+Trillion dollar government spending is going to impinge a debt on generations to come and is not the way forward. 

It seems that radical changes are afoot. The message from president Biden is being countermanded by his staff within hours making the president seem uninformed, or to be outright lying. This is not something that you see every day, right? Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson are speaking in very blunt unequivocal terms about the incompetence and shameful conduct of those at present in the white house. President Trump in his rally yesterday at Cullman Alabama spoke very directly about election fraud, as well as the shameful incompetence of those presently in power.

I feel sure that, very soon, this nation of America, which has been stolen by an illegitimate regime, must soon be handed back to 'we the people'. This would be a very good time to accomplish that. 

 We are living in the time of the Second Advent. You can verify this for yourself by looking at the 'Exposition of the Divine Principle'. Especially in the second part the principles of restoration history are explained in detail such that anyone can see the footprints of God in history and know, of a surety, that the restoration process has not been carried out in an arbitrary way at all. On the contrary, it is exacting and thorough. There are parallel periods between the time from Abraham to Jesus compared with the time from Jesus to the Second Advent. (Part 2 Chapters 3 and 4). You will find that the Second Coming occurred shortly after WW1.

America does need to connect with the thought that has been revealed by the Lord of the Second Coming. Christianity has shown itself to be weak and irrelevant during the time of the 'plandemic' (deployment of the bio weapon). As you know the Christian churches were largely shut down - being lumped together with non-essential businesses during the various phases of lockdown. It was good to hear President Trump invoke the name of God in his speech yesterday. I hope that he has connected with the teaching from the LSA.

It is significant that Jesus had to speak in symbols and parables to try to get through to the people at his time. Because of this the words are open to different interpretations. What is needed is a God Centered ideology that can take on and prevail over Communism which the fake administration in America right now are embracing. Critical Race Theory is being taught in our schools and this is being encouraged (right here in Springfield MO)

The fact that we are in an unprecedented time cannot have escaped the attention of just about everybody (everybody knows . . .) This unprecedented time is, of course, also known as the 'Last Days'. All the signs are here if you look. Please look at the basic points on the Home page of this web site to see that the apocalyptic signs are not to be taken literally - they are assuredly figurative. But very significant nonetheless.

We are created in the image of God. We do have incredible potential locked up inside each of us. We are, right now, in an entirely new era on the heels of the Second Coming. This era is as seismically different from the 'New Testament Age' as the NTA was from the Old Testament Age which preceded it. This is an age characterized by the accomplishment of the human portion of responsibility that is absolutely necessary in addition to that of God in order that God's will can be substantialized.

Our family is using this website for Home Study of this new Word from God each morning before breakfast. Right now we are reading the early sermons from Volume 2. This is helping to connect with the living Jesus, rather than the Jesus of the Cross that most Christians are familiar with. This helps to align with the heart of God such that we can come to actually embody the word. This is the wish of Jesus too. Jesus did say, astonishingly, that we would do better things than he did (John 14:12). Showing that Jesus attitude and heart is something that we too need to emulate and embody.

Please check it out for yourself. Looking forward to hearing from You! Praise God ! ! !

 A few days ago I finished the formatting and text to voice for Sermons of Reverend Moon Volume 2; and now made a start on Volume 5 - the first two sermons. But, this is not anything to do with the title for this blog. I chose this title thinking about a Christian friend who can't seem to engage with the things I'm trying to share. So I thought that I should start with things that we should (unassailably) be able to agree on.

The first one to pop into my head is that the first chosen people failed to recognize Jesus as the Christ and had him killed. Furthermore, even after 2,000 years they, as a nation, still do not accept that Jesus is the Messiah - they are still waiting for the First Advent of Christ. And my point is: How can You be so sure and certain that You (the second Israel/ chosen people) won't make the same kind of humungous mistake? Isn't it astonishing that, even after 2000 years, the first chosen people still don't get it? Well, I think so.

The second one is to do with all the different denominations of Christianity. There has, of course, been blood shed over these differences. Nowadays it tends to be more just acrimonious relationships, but my point is they can't all be right, right? However, they could all be wrong . . . on certain fundamental points. But I'll get to that later. If you're aiming at something closeup you can afford to be a few degrees off, it doesn't matter, you'll still hit it. But, of course, the further out your target is the better your aim has to be to be sure of getting it. 

Jesus said two very fundamental things regarding the truth - 'I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.' (John 16:12) and, 'These things I have spoken to you in figurative language, but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.' (John 16:25)

​The reason that he could not speak plainly when he came 2000 years ago is because the prepared people didn't believe that he was the Messiah so he had to speak with unprepared people like the fishermen and tax collectors. Why does the Bible so scrupulously record the history of the chosen people from Abraham (the first Father of Faith) until Jesus? It was clear that if they aligned with God's will they prospered, whereas those who went against God's will encountered famine, war and death. This can be seen by contrasting the northern kingdom of Israel with the Southern kingdom of Judah. You may know that the Northern kingdom of Israel came to an end, A direct result of going against God's will.

Jesus came as a man born on the earth who did not fit the peoples' expectations. He didn't fit with the prophecy of Daniel 7:13. A famous figure of that time, John the Baptist leaves no record, in the Bible, of attending and following Jesus. Furthermore, John the Baptist denied that he was the Elijah; in direct contrast to Jesus who asserted that he was. If there was no Elijah (as John had implied through his denial) then how could Jesus really be the Messiah? Otherwise you've got to throw out the Malachi prophesy, 'that before the great and terrible day of the Lord, the prophet Elijah would come.' (Malachi 4:5) Jesus said, "If you can accept it, he (John the Baptist) is the Elijah. (Matthew 11:14) This was a result of two of John's disciples coming to ask Jesus, on behalf of John, 'if he was really the Christ, or should we look for another. (Have a look at Matthew Chapter 11 and, also, Chapter 17 for evidence of the importance of 'Elijah')

Is this not a significant point - that the first chosen people distrusted Jesus to the extent of having him killed? How can that be in alignment with God's will? Did Jesus not answer those who asked what they should be doing, to do the will of God, that they should believe in him who He has sent? (John 6:28-29) If the first chosen people had believed in Jesus as the long awaited Messiah then how could they have wanted to kill him? If the first chosen people had really carried out God's will then why did Jesus say of Judas Iscariot that it would have been better if he had not been born? And why, if the first chosen people had carried out God's will did they have such a difficult and miserable history such that some Jewish people have declared that, if this is what it means to be God's chosen people, then we no longer want this. These are logical points, right?

Jesus did warn that it would be difficult to recognize the Second Coming but these warnings have gone unheeded. Very similar to Peter who dismissed Jesus' warning to him that he would deny him three times before the rooster crowed. (The main three are Luke 17:25; Luke 18:8 and, the very scary, Matthew 7:21-23)

My own view is that Christians, like my friend, are going to be among the very last to connect with the Second Coming. That's why we need to come to agreement on some fundamental points before going any further.

A lot of Christians of today think that they cannot possibly miss the Second Coming since the Lord is coming on the Clouds and, every eye will see him. Well, a lot of people 'saw' Jesus too but discounted him as being the Messiah. So, did they really 'see' Jesus???

Similarly a lot of people think that just believing in Jesus will be enough to get to 'heaven' but, we need to connect with Jesus and be like him - otherwise there is no real change in us, right?

There is a world of difference between talk and actions. If someone tells you that a Ford is the best but you find that they actually drive a Chevrolet, doesn't the fact that he drives a Chevrolet trump any fine words that he may have said about the Ford? John the Baptist declared that Jesus was the Messiah, but then never attended him, never followed him, and, furthermore, made Jesus appear to be an imposter by denying that he was the Elijah, contrary to Jesus saying that he was.

Christianity has shown how weak it truly is in these days, by being lumped together with non-essential businesses during the 'plandemic'. Christianity is fractured into contending (and contentious) denominations, and is not really on the level of a God centered Ideology such that it can take on, and win, against communism (which is an ideology; albeit a flawed and faulty one that patently does not work as promised)

Jesus could not speak plainly when he came 2000 years ago. The Second Coming will do so. This nation of America, founded as it is upon Christian principles, does need to connect with the thought of the Second Coming, the God Centered Ideology, otherwise it can never truly get success as a nation in line with God's will.

You can verify that the Second Coming occurred shortly after World War 1 by looking at the parallels of history (restorational history) from the Exposition of the Divine Principle (part 2 Chapters 3 & 4). The reason that there are parallels in history is also explained. Connecting with this can demonstrate in a very real way how God has been consistently working to save this dysfunctional world, from the time of the Fall until today. The Bible is the record of that for the 4000 Biblical years until Jesus, and the history of the West (2nd Chosen people - Christianity) from the time of Jesus until today.

The evidence for all of this is on this website. Why not start with the 'basic points' (so far there are 4) that are on the Home page. If you can agree with those then we can start to establish an unassailable truth.

We should be able to reason together over this very important topic. And to make sufficient time for it. Even 40 minutes a week would be a good start . . .

We should not become those who are waiting for the Lord to come on literal clouds. It's never going to happen.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

We, humankind, are created in the image of God - but we lost that, due to the Fall of Man. The world now is truly dysfunctional, and yet we became used to that, so that when Jesus came as the substantiation of God's Word, the then chosen people just didn't understand and got stuck in the rut of their accustomed way of thinking. As you well know, Jesus was rejected as the Messiah and was murdered ! ! !

Jesus lamented that he had many things to say but that we could not receive them now. He also promised that when he came again that he would speak plainly of the Father (our Heavenly Father, God) and no longer speak in parables and symbols. Today, Christians are not really thinking about what that would mean, but instead are looking to the sky; for the Lord coming on the clouds, and the ensuing rapture. I can definitely tell You (who are reading this) that they're going to be waiting an awful long time.

If we are created in God's image then Jesus, who came as the embodiment of that, means that his lifestyle and attitude toward God should become our role model that we should emulate. In other words, we should not just believe in Jesus but become like him. If we believe in Jesus but don't actually become like him then we are 'missing the mark' bigtime. When Jesus said, that he would speak plainly of the Father when he comes again, this should be the focus of present day Christianity - and not looking to the sky and the rapture.

Evil is on display now in the USA and those who are waiting for the rapture to fix this are going to miss the point as to become irrelevant, just as was shown during the 'plandemic', when churches were lumped together with non-essential businesses! Yesterday we saw a German movie called 'Balloon' about two families that collaborated together to escape from the then German Democratic Republic to the West in a hot-air balloon. They had to be prepared to leave behind everything in order to accomplish that. This is the kind of attitude that we need right now in the Last Days; but the focus is different, in that we have to challenge and topple Satan from being the 'ruler of the world' (John 12:31) and 'god of this world (2 Cor 4:4) rather than escaping to somewhere else. The new heaven and new earth will be made by those who can be re-created by God's word, that will be brought by the returning Christ.

Reverend Moon brought a new term, 'True Parents', that more accurately describes the role of the second advent of Christ/ Messiah. The Fall of Man was caused by those who became false parents who brought sin into the world, and came to be under Satan's dominion, cutting themselves and their progeny (all mankind) off from God. This dysfunctional world is the result. God's consistent plan has been to awaken mankind to their true potential by sending one who substantially embodies these qualities to us, hoping that we will rally to him and change our ways. Such a one was Jesus, 2,000 years ago, but he was rejected. Jesus, however, made the condition that he could come again. We, living in these Last Days now, should not repeat the terrible mistake of the first chosen people.

Just as Christians will miss the point if they don't think about Jesus' words, that when he comes again he will speak plainly of the Father; so has Sean Moon missed the point when he asserts that the rod of iron is a gun (he is being bankrolled by his brother, by the way, who makes very nice guns) I do get that citizens having access to guns is one of the main deterrents to death from Democide - historically the greatest single cause of death on the planet. But, it still misses the point.

God's Word is like a fire, like a rod of iron that dashes potter's vessels to pieces (Rev 2:27) Those who manifest God's Word will be like a rod of iron - such as Jesus, and the Lord of the Second Coming. We have to connect with them, and become like them so that we are completely aligned with God. 

If Jesus could not speak plainly when he came 2,000 years ago, and lamented that he had many things to say but that we could not bear them now. Then, what kind of content could he speak about that we need to know in order to be able to function as the people, God's children, that God originally envisaged - but that was lost due to the Fall, such that God regretted
that He had made mankind?

I am hoping that Christians will take to heart St. Paul's advice to test all things and hold fast to what is good. As I said, Evil is on display in the USA right now like no other time. President Trump was right when he said that the Chinese Virus plandemic was the worst attack on America by far - truly an act of war. We, the people, need to be awakened by witnessing this, just like that family in the Balloon movie who gave up everything to escape to the West. This fake and false administration at present in the white house has to be challenged by God fearing people everywhere and not just by the leaders on the side of Heaven.

Jesus implied that he needed an appropriate response when he said: To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: ‘ We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ (Matt 11:16-17) He also said that the chosen people did not know the time of their visitation . . . We need to connect with and emulate the Messiah, the True Adam. To do that we need God's Word. It is interesting that Jesus used God's word from the book of Deuteronomy to retort to Satan when he was confronted by him in the wilderness (after John the Baptist totally failed his mission).

We should have that level of familiarity with God's word such that we can call on them appropriately when needed. If the Lord is born on the earth (as was Jesus) the consensus is that the main contender for the personage of the Second Coming of Christ is none other than Rev. Moon. If the Second coming is to be on the clouds then, of course, he isn't. But, hey! there are many examples of the clouds being figurative in the Bible . . .

That being so, the words that Rev Moon brought should be checked out - tested, as St. Paul advised, and to hold fast to what is good. I firmly believe that these words hold up as God's words. The content of the Exposition of the Divine Principle is astonishing in its depth and consistency. It makes perfect sense of the Bible to portray one consistent line of restoration principles that has given birth to a welter of denominations (depending on whether the verses were taken literally, or figuratively) in NTA (new testament age) Christianity. Just as Jesus brought a whole new era whether or not the people were aware of it at that time; the Second Coming of Christ has brought a similarly seismic change in our time. It is known as the 'Era of 4th Adam', by the way.

The purpose of this website is to present accurately the teaching of Rev. Moon. I am bringing to alignment the pdf versions, available in cyberspace, with the actual printed versions of the book. So far that has been accomplished with the 'Exposition of the Divine Principle'; the 'Peace Messages'; and the 'Sermons of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon' in English, that were published in just 7 volumes. In addition I wanted to make them accessible so that there are hyperlinks - enabling you to jump to content, as well as the text to voice facility such that you can check this out while jogging, walking the dog or washing up.

We need to know what is God's viewpoint and be able to contrast this with the humanistic viewpoint that we are all too familiar with. The main element, that we need to fix, in this dysfunctional world is our missing relationship with God. The significant change in the time after the Second Advent is that it is the time of the end of religion. Think about that!

Those Christians who are quoting from the Gospel of John should agree that the word of God is crucially important and should be something that we will want to be engaged with. We are made in the image of God. We need to restore this image through aligning with God's word that has been brought by the Second Coming. Hoping that your gaze can be averted from the sky and that we can collaborate with each other to unravel and dismantle this world of Satan's dominion and bring into substantiality God's one world family of mankind centred on God! Aju! Praise God ! ! !

On this 8th day of the 8th month (also a new month on the Heavenly calendar) let's make a new start and come closer to embodying the character, quality and love of God. Once this fundamental missing element in our lives (actual, living relationship with God - aka 1st Great Blessing) can be made whole we will have no problem whatsoever in coming together as brothers and sisters and, very naturally, and surely, bringing a final closure to this hellish world transforming it to the kingdom of heaven.

Please check out the sermons of Rev. Moon on the Resources page. At present coming to the end of Volume 2 (regarding formatting and text to voice) as these contain sermons talking of Jesus: the living Jesus rather than the Jesus of the Cross. 

Looking forward to hearing from You.
