Sorry. Looks like I was wrong. A Very Bad Dream . . .

This morning was like a bad dream. All the anticipation that this steamroller that is the USA can be prevented from hurling itself over a cliff didn't happen at all. I heard lots of good words but they really don't mean very much if the election can be stolen so blatantly/ brazenly and nothing can be done about it.

I had determined that if the inauguration really went ahead (as my head was telling me) then I would take down the stars and stripes that have been waving in our front yard since we bought a house here in the USA. I was going to replace it with a flag that had bananas on it to reflect what I thought had just happened but my friend told me about a revolutionary flag that had a pine tree on it.

This is now our flag until I feel that this nation of America returns to God. I could make it quite quickly as I had materials from when we were making our church flag the year before last. Maybe I'll make a nicer one in the coming days but I wanted to make a point right now.

Here is the story about this flag from the 2014 May 'History is Fun' website blog:


​There are some slogans associated with the American Revolution that are powerfully evocative even today.  Phrases like “All men are created equal,” “Give me Liberty or give me Death,” and “Don’t tread on me” are part of our national heritage, and they are well known and easily understood by present-day Americans.  Some other slogans of the Revolution, however, don’t have the same resonance in the 21st century that they did in the 18th century.

One slogan that was popular early in the Revolutionary era was “An Appeal to Heaven.” Even though the famous “pine tree” flag that features this slogan is still widely recognized as a symbol of the Revolution, the meaning of the words “An Appeal to Heaven” isn’t obvious to most modern-day Americans.  To understand these words we must go back in time to the 17th century and to other, earlier political events that shaped the way British subjects thought about government and individual rights.

​During the 17th century there was a series of conflicts in Britain between Parliament and the Crown, and this caused British scholars to think and write a great deal about the nature of government and the limits of royal power.  John Locke (1632-1704) was the most important of these political philosophers. In 1689-90 he published his “Second Treatise of Government,” which says:
…where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment.

This quote is part of Locke’s justification for the overthrow of Britain’s King James II, who was removed from power in 1688, an event known as the “Glorious Revolution.”  Locke’s “appeal to heaven” is not about prayer; it is about direct political action.  Locke argues that people have rights that cannot be infringed upon by the government and that rebellion is justified if it is to defend those rights.

As American colonists increasingly came into conflict with the British government during the 1760s and 1770s, Locke’s words became an inspiration to many patriots.  After all, if the Glorious Revolution was justified as a defense against tyranny, didn’t the American Revolution have the same justification?

The slogan “An Appeal to Heaven” is less dramatic than “Give me Liberty or give me Death,” but in its own way it is equally forceful and evocative.  It is a call to action couched in the words of a philosopher rather than a politician.

Here is the one I made which is now waving (in the dark) on our front yard.

I'm really hoping there's a plan Q, or Z to take care of what is essentially the theft of a Nation. Even though I can't vote since we're legal aliens I really love this country and am in a state of shock that this has happened.

Anyways, I'm going to give it until the next new moon before I really start to feel down as that will be the start of the new lunar Year; the Heavenly calendar according to LSA Sun Myung Moon. And, six days after that, will be his 101st birthday if he were still with us in the 2nd stage of life.


​I'm sure that I'm not the only one feeling desolate right now. I heard that nearly 40% of Americans believe the election was really rigged. And that 33% of Americans don't trust, at all, the legacy media. In addition the behavior of the big tech platforms is breathtakingly arrogant and heartless to say the least. 

Oh well, maybe I'll wake up soon and realize that it was just a very bad dream . . .

    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 . . .
