A new concept - 'True Parents' will help to understand the goal of restoration. This is far more appropriate than Messiah or Christ. Think about it; the first human ancestors did not have to fall, they had a choice. God had told them that they should not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and, in the day that they ate of it, they would die. If the Fall of Man had been part of the plan of God from the beginning then the Bible verse in Genesis 6:6 makes no sense at all: 'And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.'

The first ancestors who were born without sin introduced 'sin' into this world and, as a result, all their progeny (us) came to have a different lineage - the lineage of the Fall.

We know that Jesus was born on the earth and yet, in another sense, he came from heaven. Jesus was one who had nothing to do with the fallen lineage and came to give re-birth to all mankind. Because he was regarded as an imposter by the then 'chosen people' he was handed over to the authorities to be executed and so the re-birth was of a spiritual nature only.

Jesus spoke about re-birth to Nicodemus (a man of the Pharisees) in John chapter 3. St Paul equated Jesus with Adam in several of his letters (eg. 1 Cor 15:45). Jesus as a replacement for Adam and the Holy Spirit as a replacement for Eve are the spiritual True Parents of born again Christians, right? The rejection of Jesus by the then 'chosen people' is in the same sphere of tragedy as the Fall of Man. Just as God tried to prevent the Fall of Man (as is evidenced by His warning and subsequent lament expressed in Genesis 6:6) God tried to encourage the then chosen people to believe in Jesus as the Messiah through many mighty works (the miracles) as well as direct statements such as Jesus saying: "believe in me". And in telling the people who asked what they should be doing to do the Will of God to 'Believe in him whom He has sent.' (john 6:29) Unequivocal, right?

If John the Baptist had actually attended Jesus instead of just that one act of baptism and then just words, he wouldn't have ended up on a plate. His lack of faith became a major stumbling block for the then chosen people to accept Jesus as the Christ.

All semantics aside, if JtB had declared that he was the Elijah, as Jesus asserted he was, then the leaders of Judaism at that time could have had an answer to that significant prophecy in Malachi 4:5. As it was, with John's denial, if there was no Elijah, then there was (therefore) no Messiah.

What will it take for Christians to re-appraise their expectations regarding the second coming of Christ? Certainly a first step would be to learn from the lessons of the past. That the first chosen people still (after 2,000 years!) do not accept Jesus as Christ should serve as a permanent and salient reminder. Jesus gave warnings to Christians of the Last Days that it would not be easy to recognize the second coming of Christ (Luke 17;25, 18:8 and Matt. 7:21-23) But today's Christians are similar to Peter when he said in response to Jesus' warning that he would deny him 3 times before the cock crew - just the following morning - "that will never be me! I will die with You! (and all the other disciples said the same)

Rev. Moon coined the term 'True Parents' and was instrumental in Blessing Ceremonies giving re-birth that could be passed on to the progeny of parents re-born in this way. You can read about this in the 'Peace Messages' that were made over the course of the decades surrounding the new millennium. Peace Message 10 would be a good place to start to connect with this concept.

This should be our focus rather than expecting apocalyptical changes to magically take place. Elijah was recorded as ascending to heaven in a fiery chariot but the second coming of Elijah actually took place through John the Baptist according to the words of Jesus. So those who were looking to the sky could not correct John when he denied that he was the Elijah.

We have to know what is true from our side. in other words we (the people) have to own the truth ourselves. Then we can be trustworthy in the sight of God and the awesome power of God can start to be seen on this earth.

Make no mistake; these are the veritable Last Days right now. There is actual evidence that the Lord of the 2nd Advent came already - shortly after WW1.

Mankind needs 'True Parents' to completely replace those of the Fall. Logical, right?

I came to Christ through the Lord at His Second Coming. I have been connected with what some would regard as a ‘New Age cult’ for more than 40 years. I want, through this website, to share what I’ve come to understand, and show that it stands up to scrutiny, and criticism.

Until quite recently I had regarded Christians as the enemy of the Lord of the Second Advent! But then, through Rev. Moon’s successor, Hyung Jin Moon, after his ‘Breaking the Silence’ (2015 January) where he emphasized the Bible (KJV) and spoke almost exclusively of Jesus, grace and faith I decided to connect with a Christian church (Belmont Church in Harrow, London, UK) to find out about these aspects of faith and grace which I had no idea about.

My strength was the words of truth, as I saw it, that were contained in the ‘Exposition of the Divine Principle’. This is the basic teaching of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon that, for me, made sense of the Bible.

That Hyung Jin Moon (aka Sean Moon) has since become irrelevant is regrettable but should not become a stumbling block. The 8 Great Sacred Texts (available on the Resources page) constitute the New Age Truth that we need to connect with (from the Lord of the Second Coming) and, I believe, these are absolute.

So began a journey that opened up the teaching of Rev Moon to an understanding where I came to realize that I am a Christian, Jesus IS the Messiah (as opposed to was the Messiah) and a complete reappraisal of this teaching which is what I want to share through this means.

OK; there are abridged explanations and sudden conclusions already but I will deal with those if you write to me; let us reason together - and test all things and hold fast to what is good! Also a lot of these can be overcome by reading, "The Exposition of the Divine Principle".

Thanks for engaging with this and I hope to hear from you so that we can share together as brothers and sisters in Christ and arrive at an understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven that is more to do with 1 Corinthians 3:16 than John 3:16 Thank You for visiting this website.

Let us reason together . . .

The miracles that Jesus did actually caused problems for Jesus when the people who took the benefit of the miracle, without changing their life to come into alignment with God's Will through Jesus, became worse than before after a certain time had elapsed. To state this another way; it is a sin to not believe in one whom God has sent.

Jesus' story of thereturn of the unclean spirit illustrates this point:

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.” (Luke 11:23-26)

Of course the people to whom this happened did not blame themselves but, rather, blamed Jesus for his 'faulty' miracle. This shows too that we (the people) do have a portion of responsibility to make the changes in our lifestyle to separate from influences by satanic forces.

So, in light of this, do you think that miracles will again be a fearure of the second coming of Christ?

It's very good explanation of what was happening 2000 years ago. God prepared people didn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
The picture shows John the Baptist head on the plate. It is very sad. He was the Elisha.
