The New Era after the Coming of Heaven

Recently I have been looking more closely at the Peace Messages that Rev Moon and, indeed , his whole family gave in the first decade of the new millennium. They were world-wide tours that each lasted several months and in each of them they proclaimed that they were, unequivocally, the True Parents. This is very significant because human history started very badly with the Fall of Man which caused mankind to become separated from God and the first human ancestors indeed became false parents and passed on the bad blood lineage to the entire of mankind. Understanding that, it is more easy to see the fundamental purpose of the Messiah/ Christ to be a replacement for Adam who failed and St. Paul equated Jesus with Adam on many occasions in his letters.

In these Peace Messages the declaration is robustly made that we are living in a completely new era. This is the title of this blog as from doing proof reading of the Peace Message speeches to make sure that the pdf on-line version complies completely with what is written in the actual printed book I have become able to appreciate more deeply the content of these messages. We are indeed living in the era after the coming of heaven!

LSA Sun Myung Moon (True Father) pointed out the fundamental strategy that he was following in making these Peace Messages. One important aspect of the Messiah is to give re-birth such that the one who is reborn is cut-off from the lineage of the Fall and reborn into the lineage of God through the Messiah (or more pertinently True Parents) As you know well from the Bible, Jesus was rejected by the first chosen people and, because of this, could give spiritual rebirth only. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are, thus, True Parents spiritually of born-again Christians. However, as you know well, this rebirth cannot be bequeathed to the children of Christian born-again parents. This is the fundamental reason behind why the Lord must come again. This makes logical sense, right?

So, during these world-wide tours, Blessing ceremonies were also being carried out. Recently we added an Absolute Sex page to our website. This is the antidote to free sex and the prolongation of the false lineage that directly resulted from the Fall. The Blessing ceremony is the means through which the lineage can be fundamentally changed, removing Satan's lien on us. Moreover parents reborn in this way can give birth to children who are free from the original sin. The other aspect of the World Tours proclaiming these peace messages is, of course, the proclamation of God's Word. In order to become the people that God originally intended we need re-birth and to be able to connect with the truth of God. This is the reason Jesus said that he would bring a new truth on his return as per John 16:25.

​"I have spoken of these matters in figures of speech, but soon I will stop speaking figuratively and will tell you plainly all about the Father . . ." New Living Translation Bible

Because the Bible often describes events using figurative speech, and Jesus gave lessons using parable and metaphor the Bible is open to many differing interpretations as the large number of Christian denominations testify. On the other hand Jesus was the substantiation of the word - or "word made flesh". Many times Christians are quoting John 3:16 to express their faith but I think that 1 Corinthians 3:16 more accurately describes God's purpose for us; that we become "temples of the living God". Jesus was such a one as he said, "If you've seen me, you've seen God". If the first human ancestors had not fallen they would have given birth to children of God. This, in essence, has been the thrust and goal of history which can better be described as a history of restoration with a well defined goal and purpose; the re-creation of Adam.

Just before True Father ascended he gave a speech describing the texts that we should study, "even when we go to the spiritual world." I put it as a 'Read Me First' button under the Cheon Seong Gyeong book on the Resources page of this web-site. It was given in 2012 January the year before LSA Sun Myung Moon left this earth. The spirit world is the final destination and is a natural progression of the three stages of life that all mankind goes through. How you would describe this world to a fetus would have some similarities to how someone in the spirit world would describe how it is to be there to us who are living right now, in the second stage of life, on the earth. 

It is also described in the Exposition of the Divine Principle in the chapter on Resurrection: 'The Death Caused by the Human Fall', where it compares the second stage of life with a caterpillar crawling around on a cabbage to the stage of life as a butterfly where it can eat nectar and fly around. The death caused by the Fall of Man was, of course, spiritual death. The physical body will still die even for a restored person. The purpose of our physical life is, through the exercise of our own responsibility, to perfect our spirit thereby becoming co-creators with God. How else could we become God's children; or the Lords of the Creation?

So to get back to the point I was making. The True Parents (aka Messiah/ Christ from new testament level Christianity) come to give rebirth, both physical and spiritual, and give the new truth that Jesus was only able to infer or imply. So to align with God you will need to be reborn through the Cross-cultural Holy Marriage Blessing ceremony; and you will need to study the truth that the Lord of the Second Advert (now more appropriately described as True Parents) has brought. The 8 Great Texts described in that speech I referred to earlier are being put on this web site. I am of the opinion that it is really difficult (if not downright impossible) to understand the Bible without reading through the "Exposition of the Divine Principle". Try it out if you don't believe me. I even made available a three color version that has the main points highlighted in red, secondary points in blue etc. Reading just the red highlighted parts gives the fundamental understanding in a very short time. (Something to do if you have to stay home because of CCPvirus!) You DON'T need to join my church - Heaven Forbid! And you do not need a leader or central figure.

Let me know what you think. Thanks
