Blaise Pascal:
"Given the possibility that God actually does exist and assuming the infinite gain or loss associated with belief in God or with unbelief, a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God".
3. Pascal's Wager is an argument in apologetic philosophy
which was devised by the seventeenth-century French
philosopher, mathematician, and physicist Blaise Pascal.
It posits that humans all bet with their lives either that
God exists or does not exist.
4. Given the possibility that God actually does exist and
assuming the infinite gain or loss associated with belief in God
or with unbelief,
a rational person should live as though God exists
and seek to believe in God.
If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only
a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.).

5. Sun Myung Moon
The Rock Of Tears:
Sun-Myung Moon and Kim Won-Pil arrived at the Pusan train
station in the dark, and spent the first night squatting beside a
fire they made in an empty butter-can left by UN troops
In the bitter, cold morning, the sun rose revealing the bustling
squalor of the wartime city.
Moon began to seek out acquaintances whom he knew to be
in the city. He found Kwak No-pil, the school friend whose
empty house he had recently used in Seoul, in a small rented
room, where he was living with his wife and baby daughter.
6. They greeted each other warmly, and sat up all night talking
about religion. Moon tried to convince Kwak that God was
going to rescue mankind from evil.
For Kwak, it was all a bit airy-fairy. A Christian, he was having
doubts about his childhood faith. He had been in his first year
studying politics at Yonsei University in Seoul when the war
broke out, and both his studies and the brutal reality of war led
him to question his beliefs.
"God's existence is a philosophical problem for me. I'm not
even sure he exists," Kwak said.
7. "You're asking the wrong question," Moon said. "You
should not be thinking does God exist or not. It's too
theoretical. Ask instead, why does God exist? What does
he exist for? If there's an answer to that question, the
question about God's existence answers itself “
"That's easy to say. How does it get round the basic question?
Either God exists or he doesn't," Kwak insisted.
"What I mean is, if you figure out why God exists, everything
falls into place, including the fact of God's existence.
Pondering God's existence by itself misses the point. The
question is, does the relationship exist, the relationship
between God and man."
8. Kwak was not convinced.
In the morning Moon began to talk of his own future.
"All religions will be united one day," he said.
“We have to unite the different faiths."
He said he was going to write a book and that his teaching had
to be spread throughout the whole world.

9. Final
Prophecy
for 2013
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
July 24, 2010
6.13 by the Heavenly Calendar
Manhattan Center, New York City
I have already proclaimed that
January 13, 2013 (Moon Cal.)
= February 22, 2013 (Solar Calendar)
will be “Foundation Day.”
That day will be the actual
beginning of God’s Kingdom of Cheon Il Guk.
10. Final
Prophecy
for 2013
Therefore, it is time for all people to be humbly obedient to
Heaven’s decree. An unavoidable time is upon us today
when we must invest ourselves completely with a life or
death commitment for these remaining three years under
the guidance of the True Parents who carry out the
providence on earth as
the substantial representatives of God, the King of Kings.
All the good spirits in the spirit world are mobilized and are
already moving forward, a step ahead of you.
12. I am working hard to send my anointed representatives
to all nations.
The era in which they live is one in which
mistakes such as that of John the Baptist
will never be repeated.
Unlike Jesus, whose time ended abruptly through his
going the way of the cross,
I surely will complete the restoration
of God's homeland on this earth, as I have received
Heaven's seal as the King of Peace.
13. With God and the King of Peace as the central axis,
I shall lead the anointed representatives sent throughout
the world and so create the original ideal kingdom of
everlasting peace.

True Parents for Heaven Earth
and Humankind
Golden Age
15. According to the Buddhist scriptures, Udumbara
is an imaginary flower that only blossoms every 3000
years when the King of Falun comes to the human world.
This heavenly flower is a sign of rare preciousness
and a miracle.
17. Conclusion: Let Gamaliels word of 2000 years
today again ring true in our modern time.
if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail;
but if it is of God,
you will not be able to overthrow them.
18. It is the Word of the Lord of the Second Advent
that convince Future Mankind that Christ has come!
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron (Truth).
He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. Rev 12:5 &19:12
The Messiah will come with a "New Name“ = New Adam

DP=Divine Principle, the New Revelation by korean Sun Myung Moonhttp://www.unification.net/dp73/
http://www.unification.net/dp96/
The ending phrace Amen was replaced by Aju! (2006)
With the opening of the Cheon Jeong Gung Museum (June 13, 2006), the Era of 'Amen' ended and the Era of 'Aju' began
Aju = "My Lord" in Chinese characters.
"Amen" means "truth" in Hebrew. "Aju" means "My Lord" in Chinese characters. Instead of "Amen", in the Unification Church, we say "Aju" because every time we hear something very powerful, then we proclaim and we lift up God.
