The Dark Before the Dawn

Our new flag, until the real America comes back, that replaced the first home-made one featured in the previous blog. 

Despite still being in a state of shock from what happened just a week ago we do have to acknowledge what actually happened and form a strategy to deal with that, right? There are some fundamental things that I still have confidence in. I am confident of God. Confident of the victory of the LSA (True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind). And that this is still a great nation with a lot of smart and capable people in it.

There is a Bible verse almost at the end of the New Testament - Revelation 22:20 - where Jesus states that he is coming soon! That was 2000 years ago! Yet, from the point of view of actual measured time since the Fall of Man, it is indeed a short time. If you have looked at the evidence for the LSA having already come, which is in the Parallels of History part of the Exposition of the Divine Principle, then you'll know that the Second Coming occurred at the exact right time but was largely unrecognized by conventional church Christianity. I think this is also the cause behind why the once famous Billy Graham ended his life by becoming blind. 

Just recently I've been making voiceovers for the sermons of Reverend Moon from the late  1950s and have been impressed with the profound content; but, also, with how fresh they sound. I started with Volume 4 - sermon 9 and have made four of these so far. They are on the Resources page.

Getting back to to my blog topic. I thought that some kind of intervention would take place, to challenge the legitimacy of the inauguration, which didn't happen. I think that still not enough people are awake and to make some kind of overt intervention would have been akin to throwing cold water over the sleeper. Not a good way to be awakened, right?

Now the evil side were put into power through a ceremony that everyone could watch and they now feel safe. But yet the spotlight is now on them. People can now experience for themselves what a Biden/ Harris administration actually feels like. Hence my title. If a government turns out to be oppressive then, we the people, should be able to change it. I think there has to actually be evidence that this administration is bad for America. I think that one poll put Biden's approval rating at 48% on the day of inauguration.

Looking at the news this week I can see that Texas has won against the new administration for their policy to release the illegal immigrants. The move to impeach Trump, even though he left office, looks a non-goer as even some Democrats called it unconstitutional. And the new Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, largely agreed with the previous administration's stance toward China. So not everything is bad.

But I feel that the most important thing that needs to change is Christianity's appraisal of the LSA. Maybe not enough people realize yet that the Last Days are right now. Actually experiencing rule from an evil government may help the wake up process.

Just as at the time of Jesus you cannot rely upon your pastor, church leader etc. to give you the right answer. This has to be discovered by "me"; and no-one else.

There were many lessons to be learned from what happened to Jesus 2,000 years ago. If you think logically you will see that it would have been so different if the church leaders at the time of Jesus had accepted him. The reason he was executed was because he was not accepted as the Messiah. "The New Future of Christianity" speech would be a good place to hear about Jesus from a fresh perspective.

Also the early sermons (from the Late 1950s) are when Reverend Moon was speaking a lot about Jesus. These sermons are fascinating because the one speaking about Jesus has a totally different take; as the one speaking had the same mission as Jesus had. Namely to end, once and for all, the root of sin which has afflicted all mankind with no exception.

It is clear (as explained in that speech) that Christian parents still pass on the original sin to their descendants. This is what the LSA comes to fix. That mankind can receive both spiritual and physical re-birth.

If you neglect to check out the evidence shown on this website (that the Second Advent took place already) you're going to be just like Peter who declared, "That will never be me, I will die with you!" in response to Jesus' warning Peter that he would deny him three times before the cock crew.

Understanding about the need for change of blood lineage due to the Fall of Man should enable you to conclude, with certainty, that the LSA cannot come in a magical way on literal clouds of heaven. The LSA will have to come in a similar way to how Jesus came - born on the earth.

Because Christianity largely missed the real LSA the re-building of this world, to align with the original ideal of God, may be delayed. We can have gotten some taste of this from the previous 4 years when government, to a much greater extent than previously, got out of the way (through de-regulation and lower taxes) and America naturally and spontaneously got more wealthy. Just as for the LSA - the new heaven and new earth will not float down from the sky. A fundamental re-appraisal is needed to connect with this new era that we are now in.

Hoping that you, any many like you, will make some move to connect with this new era that LSA Sun Myung Moon spoke about in the Peace Messages. If you disagree, well that's fine too, so long as you let me know exactly where you disagree.

Whatever the case, it's never ever going to be business as usual. A new era has begun and someday the information contained here will be widely available. Everyone will know. But, right now, is the dark before the dawn and how long that darkness lasts is up to each one of us.
