Who Said Jesus is a Myth? A class by Brian Colon from 2012 ICEC at UCLAevidenceforchristianity
Brian Colon taught a class at the 2012 ICEC at UCLA refuting the oft-heard accusation that the Jesus of the New Testament is principally a myth. Brian both presents hard evidence for the reliability of the New Testament picture of Jesus and explains why the Jesus myth arguments are extremely weak.
God has appointed a day of final judgment in which Jesus Christ will judge all people. On that day:
1) All angels and humans who have ever lived will appear before Christ to be judged for their thoughts, words, and deeds.
2) The judgment will glorify God by manifesting his mercy in saving the elect and his justice in condemning the wicked.
3) The righteous will receive eternal life and joy, while the wicked will be cast into eternal torment and separation from God.
4) Though the timing is unknown, believers should be certain of final judgment and constantly watchful, since it will come suddenly and without warning. Believers can face judgment without fear but with

The Messiah will NOT remove all our sins.
But the Root Sin; Original Sin, which is the Root of all others Sins.
This opens the door for all the other Sins and Fallen Natures to be restored.
This document contains a summary of a presentation on heaven, hell, and the afterlife given by Douglas A. Jacoby at UCLA on October 21, 2012. The presentation addressed 12 questions about the nature of heaven and hell, including whether heaven is a physical place, whether everyone receives the same reward in heaven, whether the fire of hell is literal, and whether hell lasts forever. It provided biblical references and perspectives from Christian scholars to discuss differing views on these issues. The presentation encouraged moving beyond extreme views and developing a Christ-centered understanding of eternal life.

Michael Burns gave a presentation on The Resurrection World View at the 2015 ICEC at York College in York, Nebraska June 19 and 20, 2015. The class included a historical analysis of the concept of resurrection, an in-depth analysis of the evidence for the resurrection, but also emphasized the implications, both personally and for the entire human condition which comes with the resurrection of Jesus. The power point is attached. The audio for this and for all the classes from the 2015 ICEC will be available within a week at www.ipibooks.com
This is a study of Jesus to be destroying the devil's work. He does it in many ways, and this is one of the main reasons for His coming into the world.
1) Jesus was fully God and fully human, living a perfect human life as the God-man so he could understand human experiences and serve as a model for living through spiritual disciplines like prayer, fasting, and scripture study.
2) By living within human limitations like physical needs, emotions, learning, and temptation, Jesus demonstrates that humans can live empowered through the Holy Spirit rather than their own abilities.
3) Jesus performed supernatural works through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, including healings, words of knowledge, miracles and preaching. His example proves that with the Holy Spirit, limited humans can do God's works.
This document discusses evidence for the reliability of the Bible. It addresses four main questions: Are the Scriptures reliable in their translation, transmission, testimony, and totality? Regarding translation, the document examines different types of translations and their reliability. For transmission, it analyzes manuscript evidence for the New and Old Testaments. When considering testimony, the document evaluates several historical criteria that point to the gospels' authenticity. It ultimately concludes that the resurrection accounts are historically plausible and alternative explanations are less satisfactory.
1. The document discusses whether Jesus was a magician by examining the evidence for his supernatural deeds and implications.
2. It presents historical criteria like multiple independent attestation and contextual coherence to argue the gospels provide authentic accounts of Jesus' miracles.
3. The document also notes the gospels include unnecessary details and unresolved difficulties that point to eyewitness testimony rather than being fabricated later.
Dr. John Oakes taught a class, Jesus in the Old Testament: From Shadow to Reality in San Diego on six consecutive Saturdays beginning Feb 22, 2014. Outline and suggested reading for the class are below. The recordings of this class are available at the web site in the store. Click on EFC Store button on the upper right of the front page of the site. For now we will keep the second half of the class available.
Peter gives a speech where he makes three key points:
1) He boldly claims that Jesus is the Messiah foretold in Jewish scripture, who God "raised up" and sent as his "Servant" to bless people.
2) Jesus turns people away from their sins by appealing to their love for God and revealing God's goodness, rather than threatening punishment.
3) Peter's understanding is growing that the blessing Jesus brings is meant not just for Jews but for people of all nations, as the Old Testament promised. However, Jews will be the first to receive this blessing.
The document discusses evidence for the identity of Jesus Christ. It examines his claims to be the Messiah and Son of God, as well as prophecies about the Messiah from the Old Testament that Jesus fulfilled. The document also considers Jesus' miracles and the strongest evidence for his resurrection, which is the empty tomb and eyewitness accounts from over 500 people. The resurrection is the most important fact because it validates Jesus' identity and provides hope of eternal life. Non-Christian sources like Josephus and Tacitus also corroborate the basic facts about Jesus. The document analyzes alternative theories for the resurrection but finds them inadequate. Overall, it argues the historical evidence points to Jesus being the promised Messiah.
The document discusses various ways that people, events, and objects in the Old Testament foreshadow or prefigure people and events in the New Testament. It provides examples of historical foreshadows, types and antitypes related to Abraham, the Exodus, the tabernacle and temple, and Old Testament festivals. It also summarizes many prophecies from the Old Testament and their fulfillment in the New Testament related to the Messiah and the Kingdom of God.
The document summarizes Jesus healing six blind men according to different biblical accounts, noting there was no set pattern of healing. It also discusses the healing of a blind man in John 9, noting the Pharisees questioned the man and accused him of being blind due to sin. Jesus said he was sent to bring sight to the blind and exposed the Pharisees' spiritual blindness. The document analyzes various verses from the account, addressing theological issues and lessons that can be learned.

This document discusses the rise of the Antichrist according to passages from the Bible. It explains that the Antichrist will oppose God and exalt himself, leading people into rebellion against God. Currently, the spirit of the Antichrist is already at work in the world, moving societies away from Christianity. Eventually, the Holy Spirit will no longer restrain the spirit of lawlessness, paving the way for the Antichrist to come to power through deceptions and false miracles. He will convince the world to worship him instead of God. However, true believers will be saved from experiencing this time through the rapture before the Antichrist is revealed.

This document provides an outline and summary of a sermon given on 1 Peter 3:13-22. Some key points include:
- Christians may face persecution for their faith and should respond with gentleness and respect, honoring Christ.
- Believers should always be prepared to give a gentle, respectful defense for their hope in Christ.
- Suffering can come even when doing good, as Christ suffered unjustly.
- The passage references Noah's obedience in building the ark despite ridicule, and how few were saved through water.
- There are various interpretations of Christ's proclamation to imprisoned spirits, such as fallen angels or souls in Hades.
- Baptism represents new spiritual life

- Christians may face persecution and should respond gently and respectfully as Christ did.
- Believers should always be prepared to give a defense for their faith with gentleness and respect.
- Interpretations of 1 Peter 3:19-20 discussing where Christ proclaimed his victory include Hades, to Noah through the Spirit, or to fallen angels.
- Baptism corresponds to the resurrection as believers are raised with Christ to new life.
- Suffering for righteousness follows Christ's example and believers have hope of eternity in Heaven.
This document discusses different strategies for using apologetics in Christian outreach. It begins by defining apologetics as defending or making a case for the Christian faith. It then examines how the early church used apologetics in the Book of Acts to change the world. Specifically, it notes that the early Christians (1) knew Jesus personally, (2) made powerful truth claims about Jesus, and (3) lived ethically superior lives. The document then discusses engaging intellectually with the world by addressing questions about Christianity's truth claims and comparing the Christian worldview to other views. It analyzes episodes from Acts where Paul uses apologetics and examines how Christians can follow this approach today.

Did Jesus need divine inspiration to realize that his life was in imminent danger? Discover how Jesus saw his vocation as the fulfillment of the suffering Servant and thus his death as an expiatory sacrifice of a unique kind. How could Jesus’ suffering and death be part of God’s plan? Explore the Kingdom of God in the Last Supper. Learn the significance of “Eli, Eli, lemah sabbachtani,” and see the Sacrifice of Jesus in new light and what it brings about.
The document discusses the nature of evil and whether it is inherent in human nature. It presents perspectives from both theology and science. Theologically, it references Bible passages describing original sin and the fallen nature of mankind. Scientifically, it discusses studies of serial killers that found no definitive genetic or neurological defects. Overall, it seems to conclude that while mankind was created good by God, the fall corrupted human nature and introduced a capacity for both good and evil, as seen in humanity's repeated sins throughout history.

This document discusses several topics relating to spirituality and the spiritual world, including:
- The human being has both a physical and spiritual aspect.
- Swedenborg described life after death where the spirit continues living in a spiritual world in a spiritual body that corresponds to the physical one.
- Swedenborg said that both good and bad people fully survive physical death and our destiny is determined by our actions in life.
- Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers, believed that sexual relations were the root of all sin based on her interpretation of the Garden of Eden story.
- A Course in Miracles was dictated to Helen Schucman by an inner voice she identified as Jesus, and discusses
The document discusses how Christians have an unfair disadvantage when battling spiritual forces alone through human effort. It explains that the Holy Spirit provides an advantage by dwelling within believers, allowing Jesus to be present with all Christians at once. Receiving the Holy Spirit after Jesus' ascension was actually better for believers than Jesus being physically present, as the Spirit allows him to be everywhere simultaneously and convict the world of sin.

- The world is ending as revealed by God's spirit, with great changes coming both spiritually and physically.
- There is a "war on terror" happening between good and evil, Satan and God, rather than just between countries. True Christians will be considered terrorists.
- When Jesus returns, he will come for the 144,000 and swiftly judge the world in righteousness. The author is ready to give their life for what they know to be true.
Introduction to Divine Principles

Final victory of goodness through the Second Coming of Christ/the Messiah,
coming as True Parents...
A people, nations and a world/cosmos should be well prepared.
How do you respond to the idea that there are spiritual powers and demons in the universe that are working against God's will?
How are you aware of the spiritual warfare around you? If Satan is a "deceiver" and our Lord calls him "the father of lies" then how have his lies affected your life? What lies have you believed (in the past, or possibly now) about yourself, others and God? These and other questions are addressed in this study.
The document provides an overview of Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Christianity. It discusses key ideas such as:
- Stoicism emphasized rationalism and rejecting emotions. Stoics believed nature is governed by rational principles.
- Epicureanism believed in atomism and that death meant the cessation of existence. Epicureans sought to enjoy life and avoid pain through moderation.
- Christianity built upon Jewish foundations of monotheism and the idea that humans are created in God's image. It taught that evil came from disbelief and disobedience to God. Jesus emphasized internal transformation and loving one's enemies.
05 spiritual war - the history of satan - april 2014 - jan egil gulbrandsenGrace Camp Ministries
This document discusses the history and nature of spiritual warfare according to Christian theology. It describes how Satan (Lucifer) was originally a high-ranking angel but became prideful and rebelled against God, leading to a war in heaven where he and his followers were defeated and cast out. Some angels are said to have mated with human women, producing giants, and were imprisoned. The text warns that while Jesus defeated Satan, spiritual forces of evil still operate in the world and the end times will resemble Noah's day when evil was rampant. It encourages understanding spiritual warfare and not being ignorant of the enemy's schemes.
This document provides a summary of spiritual warfare in ancient times and what may occur in the last days, as outlined in the Bible. It discusses the history of Satan and fallen angels, including Lucifer's rebellion and battle with Michael in heaven. The text also examines the ranks of angels like seraphs, cherubs, and archangels like Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, and Gabriel. It suggests the last days will resemble Noah's time, when the sons of God intermingled with humans, producing giants and great wickedness on Earth.
The document discusses several factors that affect how the Bible is interpreted:
1. The Bible was written by humans in different times and cultures, so it reflects the ideas and language of its writers' eras.
2. The manuscripts were copied by hand over centuries, introducing mistakes and variants in the text. Translations also involve interpretive choices.
3. Readers approach the Bible through the lens of their own backgrounds, experiences, languages, and cultures. It is impossible to be completely objective when interpreting Scripture.
Paul state, "And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience..." Free PowerPoint Download at http://BibleGuy.org
1) Dead in sins, people walk according to the world, devil, and flesh as escorts to eternal death.
2) The world, devil, and flesh are linked and take possession through lust of eye, flesh, and pride of life, leading people away from God.
3) To overcome, believers must not conform to this world and resist the devil, flesh, and ungodly lusts through faith in Christ who delivers from darkness.
This document discusses several prophecies and prophets throughout history including:
- Nostradamus and his prophecies about the coming of Christ from the East to Asia and Korea specifically.
- Fatima and the Marian apparitions where Mary gave a message to be delivered to the Pope in 1960.
- The meaning and symbolism of prophecies in the Book of Daniel, Book of Revelation, and shape of Korea relating to the Second Coming of Christ and establishment of God's kingdom.
- Prophecies indicating 2000 years of preparation for Christ's return culminating in revelations given in Korea.
This document discusses several prophecies and religious figures that are claimed to have foretold or been connected with Sun Myung Moon and the Unification movement. It mentions prophecies by Nostradamus, Fatima revelations, Alice Bailey, William Branham, and communications from spiritualist Arthur Ford that are said to reference Moon. It also discusses meetings and writings by Sir Anthony Brooke about Moon's message of universal unity and human oneness. The document aims to show how these diverse sources collectively pointed to Moon's emergence and mission.
Was Jesus meant to marry, have children grand-children ...
was the Cross just a second alternative that did bring Spiritual
but not Physical salvation.
Here are introduction the the Divine Principle view.
Wolli Wonbon is an early manuscript of the Divine Principle written by Sun Myung Moon in 1951-1952 while living as a refugee in Pusan, South Korea. It contains almost 700 pages covering all aspects of the Divine Principle in a condensed form. While difficult to understand for ordinary people, it laid the foundation and roadmap for Moon's teachings. There is ongoing work to translate Wolli Wonbon into English to make it more accessible. It provides important insights into early understandings of theological concepts like the cross, God as both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and the mission of Jesus and the Second Coming.
- The sermon discusses the providence of Cheonshimwon and its role in uniting Heaven and Earth. It highlights True Parents' teachings on becoming one with God and Christ.
- Testimonies are shared about experiences at Cheonshimwon prayer rallies, feeling True Father's heart and tears, and being spiritually revived.
- The sermon emphasizes that through Cheonshimwon, all people can attain a state of oneness with Heavenly Parent and True Parents, fulfilling the purpose of creating humanity in God's image.
This Sunday sermon discusses spiritual principles from the Bible and Divine Principle. It covers topics like the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds, the law of attraction, discerning good and evil spirits, and fallen human nature. The sermon argues that modern ills like depression, violence and addiction have spiritual roots in original sin and the fall of man. It presents a solution in millions of messiahs and true parents who can achieve salvation for all of humanity. The sermon encourages praying for inspiration to reach higher levels of goodness.
The document discusses humanity's fall from God and the restoration process. It states that after the fall, humans became "half human" and could no longer experience God with their five spiritual senses. True Parents were needed to restore this. The document also references the spirit world, mentioning that spirits grow through nourishment from God and the physical world. It advocates living for the sake of others to deny one's fallen nature and follow God.
This document discusses the spiritual world and the original homeland that humanity is meant to return to. It states that the spiritual world is the original homeland, but that humanity currently lives a fallen life on Earth in exile. God has been establishing religions to train and guide people to qualify to return to the original homeland, with the standard being living for the sake of others. The document then shares excerpts from the biography of Hak Ja Han about Satan trying to attack her as an infant but being defeated by her mother, indicating she was destined to defeat Satan. Finally, it lists examples of prophecies around the world that pointed to the year 2000 and the Second Coming.
This document discusses biblical prophecies and prophecies concerning the Second Coming of Christ. It summarizes various prophecies from the Old Testament, New Testament, Korean prophecies from the Chung Gam Nok text, and prophecies of Nostradamus. It discusses how these prophecies foretold the appearance of the Messiah in Korea and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth. The document also references how spiritual figures like Sundar Singh, Swedenborg, and others supported the idea of the Second Coming and resurrection of the body.
The document is a collection of quotes from Sun Myung Moon about the relationship between God and humanity. It discusses how human beings were created to be temples for God to dwell in. It says had Adam and Eve not fallen, God would live in our hearts and we would express God through our senses. It also talks about how Jesus came as the perfect temple for God and how through attaining perfection, one can become a temple where God's spirit lives. The quotes explore how God needs a physical form to manifest and rule over creation, and how through love, the spiritual and physical can be united.
This document provides a glossary of Korean spiritual terms used in the Unification movement. It defines abbreviations and short vocabulary for important texts, locations, and concepts. Key terms explained include Cheon Il Guk, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, True Parents as the representatives of God, and the goal of establishing a world of peace under the heavenly parent. The document traces the origins and meanings behind the movement's terminology and emphasizes their significance for realizing God's ideal of one family under God.
Sermon DP & Beatitudes Part 2of2 - True Family - Owner of Peace & LineageBengt & Maarit de Paulis
The sermon discusses the Beatitudes from the Bible and their relationship to Divine Principle teachings. It provides quotes from Rev. Sun Myung Moon's speeches comparing the Old Testament commandments to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. The sermon encourages living for the sake of others and finding one's ideal partner to establish a God-centered family. It concludes with a prayer and well wishes for the week.
The document is a summary of a sermon given on the Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew. It discusses each of the nine Beatitudes that Jesus taught, relating them to Divine Principle teachings. For each Beatitude, it provides biblical context and an explanation of what Jesus meant in light of the Principle. The overall message is that through understanding the Principle, we can grasp Jesus' true meaning when he promised nine kinds of blessings to those who live according to his teachings.
The document provides scriptural evidence from both the Old and New Testaments to support key claims of the Divine Principle, including that:
1. The Fall of Man was sexual in nature, as hinted at in passages like Genesis 3:7 and Psalm 51:7.
2. Jesus came primarily to be accepted and establish a Holy Family through marriage and children, as was prophesied, before his death, as acceptance was necessary for salvation according to John 6:29.
3. There will be a New Adam and Eve, like Jesus, who will fulfill the mission of creating a sinless Holy Family and establishing God's Kingdom on Earth, as passages like Joel 2:28 and John 16:
The document discusses the life and purpose of Jesus Christ and Dr. Sun Myung Moon. It provides background on their births and missions to establish the foundations for a new heaven and new earth. It also references spiritual laws, principles, and the providence to establish God's kingdom.
This document discusses numerology and its relation to divine principles and scripture. Some key points:
1. Numbers are said to have a metaphysical existence and were important in ancient cultures like Greece. The Bible also emphasizes certain numbers like 40.
2. Divine Principle texts explain that numbers represent spiritual concepts - like 3 representing God as the unity of dual characteristics. All things grow through 3 stages according to mathematical principles.
3. Certain numbers hold providential meaning and are periods of indemnity - like the number 4 representing restoring the four position foundation or 40 representing separation from Satan. Restoring these numbers is necessary to establish the foundation of faith.
This document discusses the difference between cults and religions. It notes that early Christianity, Islam, and other major religions were initially regarded as cults. It suggests that the real difference between a cult and religion is about 100 years - once a group survives for multiple generations, it is considered a religion rather than a cult. The document provides historical examples and argues that groups must moderate behaviors and beliefs to survive across generations within a society. It cautions against accusing other religious groups of being cults when they are reasonably decent and function as citizens.
Un Jin Moon gave a sermon about the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. He discussed how Jesus gave Peter the keys to bind and loose on earth and heaven. True Father then explained the providence to establish home churches and tribal messiahship in order to restore what Jesus could not fulfill and realize the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. He emphasized living for others and experiencing the Kingdom of God internally through love of God and neighbor.
The sermon discusses the symbolism of the red cross representing the blood of Christ and martyrs. It talks about the suffering of martyrs throughout history from biblical times to modern conflicts. The white cross represents the second coming of Christ and true parents. The sermon suggests we are living in times of global suffering represented by the red and white cross, but that true parents will establish an era of peace and a golden age. It encourages sharing the good news of Christ's return in the form of true parents to bring a sinless future for mankind.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
Trusting God's Providence | Verse: Romans 8: 28-31JL de Belen
Trusting God's Providence.
Providence - God’s active preservation and care over His creation. God is both the Creator and the Sustainer of all things Heb. 1:2-3; Col. 1:17
-God keep His promises.
-God’s general providence is toward all creation
- All things were made through Him
God’s special providence is toward His children.

Protector & Destroyer: Agni Dev (The Hindu God of Fire)Exotic India
So let us turn the pages of ancient Indian literature and get to know more about Agni, the mighty purifier of all things, worshipped in Indian culture as a God since the Vedic time.
4. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore human psychology
in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of
19th-century Russia.
Many of his works are marked by a
preoccupation with Christianity, explored through
the prism of the individual confronted with
life's hardships and beauty.
5. He began writing in his 20s, and his first novel,
Poor Folk, was published in 1846 when he was 25.
His major works include Crime and Punishment (1866),
The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and
The Brothers Karamazov (1880).
His output consists of 11 novels, three novellas,
17 short novels and numerous other works.
Many literary critics rate him as
one of the greatest psychologists in world literature.
6. His books have been translated into more than 170 languages.
Dostoyevsky influenced a multitude of writers and
philosophers, from Anton Chekhov and
Ernest Hemingway to
Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre.
7. Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and
moral dilemmas of Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished
ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes
a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash.
Raskolnikov, in attempts to defend his actions, argues that
with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to
counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a vermin.

13. Nor should we overlook the Bible.
Both Isaiah (26:19) and Daniel (12:2) write of their expectation
of life after death, while both Jesus (Lk 9:30-31) and Paul
(Acts 26:13-26) are reported as encountering non-physical
beings.
Indeed, in 1 Corinthians Paul goes to some length to describe
the characteristics of the "spiritual body" in which the Apostle
asserts that believers will be resurrected. (1 Cor. 15:35-50).

15. By chance, Lisaveta is at home, and Raskolnikov
murders her too.
A peasant who worked in the house where the old woman live:
confesses to the crime, and another life is nearly ruined.
When Raskolnikov ~ mother finds out what happened, she
goes mad and dies.
16. Later; while he is sick, Raskolnikov has strange
dreams in which he finds that others besides
himself have the right to decide the fates of others, and all
people destroy each.other like "cockroaches," like "lice."
The whole world is a victim of some terrible unseen and
unheard of plague, which goes to Europe from the heart of
Asia .... Some new trichinas have appeared, some
microscopic beings implanting themselves in people's bodies.
The people who had received them went crazy at once ...
17. Everybody was anxious and did not understand
the others ....
They did not know whom and how to judge, what was good
and what was bad.
They did not know who was to be killed and who was to be
acquitted. People killed each other in some senseless rage
18. In towns the bells tolled day and night, and called everybody,
but no one knew who was calling and what for. No one knew
that and all were anxious . ... In some places people got
together, agreed to something, swore not to part, but
immediately began something quite different from what they
had just planned, began to blame each other, fought and cut
each other. Fires and famine began, everything was perishing.
The plague grew and spread further ....

20. Satan is the name given to the Archangel Lucifer after he fell.
When the first human ancestors fell, they bound themselves in
blood ties with Lucifer.
They formed a four position foundation yoked to Satan, and
thus all humanity became the children of Satan.
This is why Jesus said to the people, "you are of your father
the devil," and called them a "brood of vipers.“ (John 8:44)CEV|KJ|NI;
(Matt. 12:34)CEV|KJ|NI; (Matt. 23:33)CEV|KJ|NI; (cf. Matt. 3:7)CEV|KJ|NI

21. St. Paul wrote, "not only the creation, but we ourselves, who
have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for
adoption as sons,“ (Rom. 8:23)CEV|KJ|NI
indicating that no one belongs
to the lineage of God.
Instead, due to the Fall of the first human ancestors, human
beings are of the lineage of Satan.
Divine Principle
FallofMan
23. Once Satan came to dominate human beings, who were
intended to be the lords of creation, he also
achieved domination over everything in the universe.
Accordingly, it is written, "the creation waits with eager longing
for the revealing of the sons of God. . .
We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail
together until now."(Rom. 8:19-22)CEV|KJ|NI

24. These verses describe
the agony of the creation under the domination of Satan
as it longs for the appearance of unfallen people who
have perfected their original nature;
it yearns for the day when they will vanquish Satan
and rule it in love.
Divine Principle
FallofMan
25. Satan is constantly accusing all people before God, as he did
Job, in order to drag them into hell. (Job 1:9-11)CEV|KJ|NI
However, even Satan cannot perpetrate his evil activity unless
he first finds an object partner with whom he can form a
common base and engage in give and take action.
Divine Principle
FallofMan
26. Satan's object partners are evil spirits in the spirit world.
The object partners to these evil spirits are
the spirit selves of evil people on the earth, and the
vehicles through which these evil spirit selves act are
their physical selves.
Divine Principle
FallofMan
27. Accordingly, the power of Satan is conveyed through evil
spirits and is manifested in the activities of earthly people.
For example, Satan entered into Judas Iscariot,
(Luke 22:3)CEV|KJ|NI
and Jesus once called Peter "Satan.“
(Matt. 16:33)CEV|KJ|NI
In the Bible, the spirits of evil earthly men are called
"angels" of the devil. (Matt. 25:41)CEV|KJ|NI

29. The Kingdom of Heaven on earth (cf.Eschatology 2)
is a restored
world in which Satan can no longer instigate any activity.
To realize this world, it is necessary for all humanity to
• eliminate their common base with Satan,
• restore their common base with God, and
• engage in give and take action with Him.
30. The prophecy that in the Last Days God will confine Satan
in a bottomless pit (Rev. 20:1-3)CEV|KJ|NI
signifies that Satan
will be utterly incapable of any activity, since there will
no longer be any counterpart with whom Satan can relate.
31. In order to eliminate our common base with Satan and be
capable of judging him, (I Cor. 6:3)CEV|KJ|NI
we must understand the identity and crime of Satan and
accuse him before God.

40. There are hundreds of billions of spirits in the spirit world.
Billions of spirits are on the attack to take hold over the
physical world.
Neurosis is one resultant phenomenon of this reality.
After the year 2000, people will be able to communicate with
each other spiritually.
Whether they communicate with evil or good spirits,
they may fight even if they are ordered not to make war.
41. This time could come, but the mission of the
Unification Principle is to prevent this.
A tall tower produces radio interference.
The phenomena of neurosis are like that.
The most fearful thing would be if only evil spirits
mobilized and attacked the physical world.
What would happen if that were case?
Regardless of the number of people on earth,
they would all be attacked by evil spirits.

43. A Shared Task
In one of the most memorable works of Feodor Dostoyevsky,
the story of the Grand Inquisitor, Christ has returned to earth.
He has embarked again on a ministry of healing and charity
and, to his surprise, is subsequently whisked off to prison.
44. Here he confronts the Grand Inquisitor.
Christ is told he must again face death, for he is again
guiding people in the wrong direction.
He is leading people to freedom and self-responsibility,
"fearful burdens" too great for man to bear.
It is better, Christ is told, for individuals not to confront self-
responsibility to the Church, they are given what they need:
bread and other symbols of security.
45. While it is no doubt overstated, Dostoyevsky's story makes its
point.
There is a tendency in all of us not to take responsibility for our
own lives.
On occasion we would like to give that burden to God, to the
church, or to any figure representing strength and authority.
46. Despite such tendencies, Divine Principle, with much of
contemporary thought, affirms the critical role individuals
must play in shaping their own destiny.
We cannot pass off responsibility to someone else.
Each of us is the captain of his own ship.
47. Of course, this is not to say that we are alone.
For Divine Principle, God is on our side.
There is an organic partnership between man and God.
However, God's efforts on our behalf become effective
only when we do our part.
48. Of course, this is not to say that we are alone.
For Divine Principle, God is on our side.
There is an organic partnership between man and God.
However, God's efforts on our behalf become effective
only when we do our part.
49. In the course of growth, of achieving the Direct Dominions, of
building the Kingdom, God does His part and we must do
ours.
Until our portion is completed, God's efforts are futile.
The Lord helps those who help themselves because He can
only help those who help themselves.
50. In light of this principle certain habitual
practices of Jesus become more understandable.
When Jesus healed the sick he first asked
if they believed in him.
51. When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and
Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do
this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."
Then he touched their eyes saying,
"According to your faith be it done to you (Mt. 9:28-29)."
52. Faith was the condition that allowed God's healing energy to
work.
Without that faith, no healing was possible.
Likewise Matthew tells us that Jesus promised people
seeking for answers that they would find them, but urged
them to first do their part.
53. "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock,
and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks it will be opened (Mt. 7:7-8)."
54. If we ask why it is we have been given this portion of
responsibility, two reasons suggest themselves.
First, each of us is created as a child of God.
We are given the freedom to make choices and the
obligation to take responsibility for them. In this way God
allows us to participate in the creation of our own selves.
In a sense, we thus become co-creators with Him
55. Secondly,
Divine Principle explains that God wanted man to be lord
over all the world as His representatives.
However, a person can rightfully have dominion only over
what he has made- and none of us made the world.
56. Therefore, we must make some condition whereby we can
become creators ourselves.
By taking responsibility in our own self-creation, Divine
Principle tells us,
we qualify to inherit the Lord's right of dominion.
57. Sharing Responsibility
Naturally, compared to the care God takes for our growth,
our own responsibility is minute.
The two cannot actually be compared.
Nevertheless, we can figuratively say that
God's portion of responsibility is 95 percent
while ours is 5 percent.
58. Five percent of the job, however, cannot be fulfilled by 5
percent effort.
Even though we are responsible for only a small part of the
total task, we need 100 percent effort to fulfill it.
59. We may say then that God is like a master stone mason
building a magnificent stone wall.
He has laid almost all the stones Himself, heaving just one
unplaced. We are asked to lay the final block.
As co-workers with God, we are then to take part in the glory
of the finished product.
60. Divine Principle teaches that the promise of
the Direct Dominion is in living heart to heart with God as
matured persons.
In this union, God governs by love, and laws and
commandments become unnecessary.
61. Under the direct rule of God man is completely free-liberated
to be who he was meant to be.
Direct Dominion, therefore, should not be confused with a
one-sided domination, but rather understood as
a mutual loving companionship.
It is the crowning jewel in one's interior life, opening
immense new vistas of love, joy and beauty.
Source: September 1997 Unification News
62. A popular quote we often hear but find hard to
understand is “beauty will save the world.”
How will beauty save the world?
The line comes from Dostoevsky’s novel, The Idiot,
attributed to the main character, Prince Myskin.
63. The prince, an epileptic Russian nobleman,
serves as a Christ-like figure, who stands apart for his
innocence and even naiveté.
Out of the mouth of this idiot comes a clearer vision of
beauty and reality than those around him,
His clarity heightened even in the midst of his sickness.
64. The saving power of beauty in the prince’s life could not
overcome his sickness, but nonetheless illumined his vision:
“What matter though it be only disease, an abnormal tension
of the brain, if when I recall and analyze the moment…
65. …it seems to have been one of harmony and beauty in the
highest degree—an instant of deepest sensation,
overflowing with unbounded joy and rapture, ecstatic
devotion, and completest life”
In the midst of his suffering, he glimpsed,
though in a paradoxical manner, the heart of reality.

67. But there is no clear understanding
concerning details of the Second
Advent.
When? How? Where?
Jesus clearly foretold his return.
Mt 16:27
“For the Son of man is to come with his
angels
in the glory of his Father...”
71. 2) The return of Elijah
2 Kings 2:11
… Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
1) The mission of John the Baptist
Many Jewish people believed that Elijah
would descend from heaven (2 Kings 2:11),
Most Christians read the Bible with the
preconception that J/B completed his given
mission, but in fact he did not.
72.
73. The Return of Christ by His Birth in the Flesh
Bible Indications of the Birth of the LSA in the Flesh
1) Lk 17:25
“But first he must suffer many things and be rejected
by this generation.”
2) Lk 18:8
“...when the Son of man comes, will he find faith
on earth?”
3) Lk 17:20
... “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs
to be observed.”
74. 4) Mt 7:22,23
“On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did
we not prophesy in your name, and cast out
demons in your name, and do many mighty works
in your name?’
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
depart from me, you evildoers.’ ”
5) Rev 12:5
She brought forth a male child (New Adam), one
who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but
her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
75. The Jesus of Galilee will not return - it is not necessary.
The Christ who manifested through him is the Eternal –
he will manifest again.
Mr. Moon in deep meditation can project himself
and be seen just as Jesus has been able to project
himself and be seen by the saints.
This is one of the marks - of the messiahs always.
76. This is the end of an age, and the battle that is raging
is really Armageddon.
It's a battle between the selfish, brutal men who do not
think in terms of God or things which are associated with
that word - against those peoples who will be the
harbingers of the New Age.
77. You are now in the new Age - and old things are
being destroyed - and new things - which are eternal
but which are new only because mankind has now
reached the point where it is able to recognize them
and use them.
78. 'From the days of John the Baptist until now the
kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent
men take it by force. /Mathew 11:12
The revelators seldom live to see their revelations
widely accepted. But they do always draw to them –
and leave behind them –
a group who continue the revelation.
79. But it is not likely that everyone will accept it, because
it needs education and it will take time.
Nobody can give away perfection.
Perfection was the ideal, and perfection was mans
goal from the beginning, but man choose himself to
loose that perfection, and she must now choose to
return to it.
80. Mr. Moon reminded me that in the Book of Revelation there
is a picture of the New Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming
down out of the heavens. And there was a door on the east
and a door on the south, a door on the north and a door on
the west –
and when the teacher comes, he always has to come
through the eastern gate. In the Holy City of Jerusalem
there is an eastern gate long since sealed and blocked. It
will never be opened until the new teacher comes.
81. The Hebrew name of the Golden Gate is Sha'ar HaRachamim (
), Gate of Mercy. In Jewish sources the eastern gate of the
Temple compound is called the Shushan Gate.
If the Golden Gate does preserve the location of the Shushan
Gate, which is only a presumption with no archaeological proof,
this would make it the oldest of the current
gates in Jerusalem's Old City Walls.
82. According to Jewish tradition, the Shekhinah )ivine Presence)
used to appear through the eastern Gate, and will appear again
when the Anointed One (Messiah) comes (Ezekiel 44:1–3)
Comment :
Divine Principle claims Messiah comes from the East, Korea!
I can only repeat the vision of John, that when the New Age
comes, the Eastern Gate will open, and not only man - but
Revelation (and Messianic HEALING as at the time of
Jesus) – will flow out of that gate. /Ford-Fletcher
83. But you cannot expect the message to be
accepted immediately by vast numbers of people
only those who are ready and who are willing to
listen and to whom this particular message
seems to be right and meaningful.
That is the way that all the world teachers have
had to go.
And remember one thing only, that if it is of God,
it can not fail. And it is of God.
/Arthur Ford sitting 1965

to Korea, Japan, and China.
• Nostradaus prophecied - Asia
• China/Russia Communist

92. The Korean flag is called taegukki. Its appearance symbolizes the
principles of yin and yang in Oriental philosophy.
The circle in the center is divided into two equal parts.
The upper red section represents the ”positive” cosmic energy yang.
Similarly, the lower blue section symbolizes, the ”negative” cosmic
forces yin.
The two forces together embody the concept
of perpetual motion and balance and harmony
that characterize the eternal realm. (KoH)
93. Who Is He?

Prophecy

94. EAST GARDEN 21st November ’98
Hoon Dok Hae
'WHO IS HE? A BOOK OF PROPHECY'
by independent journalist Mr Ku Sung Mo
After 20 years of studying prophecy by many Korean
prophets throughout the ages Mr Ku concludes that
someone must come to Korea as the second coming of
Buddha, Christ or Confucius.
He writes quite directly that Sun Myung Moon
is the one.
95. Chapter 2 - The Korean Books Of Prophecy
A white cross, a great heavenly way
that unifies Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity
and all other religions into one.
He will come
April year (2000-2001) or
2024-2025 (Moon Calendar).
Believe in God (this is the teaching of the holy man who
came from Heaven).
96. The fortune of this Messiah is as the coming
of Buddha (Second Coming of Buddha to this world).
When this time arrives, the entire world will be in chaos.
Fire will fly and fall to the ground and the world will become
hopelessly confused.
There will be no place for even one evil spirit to reside in
the new world.
The whole world will be unified and once again return to
the original point.
The families who read these messages are the blessed
ones. (Hon Dok Hae)
97. FIND THE SAVIOUR
Within four years or thirty years (1998-2028) there will be a
final showdown between this Holy man and evil. He will
start doing his work in the centre of Yong San. He is the
one who came here to do God's will. Who is he?
Two saints will be sent the first will be the false one. The
second will be true and have the name Moon.
98. FIND THE SAVIOUR
Only the ones with (spiritual) eyes will be able to recognise
him.
He will be born in North Korea. He will marry many young
people and go through many persecutions.
Who else can it be other than the Rev Sun Myung Moon.
103. "When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every
village and every hamlet, from every state and every city,
we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's
children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and
sing in the words of that old Negro spiritual,
"Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God almighty, we are free at last!“
True Freedom=Blessing – Liberation from evil!
Dr. Martin Luther King

2000-2002
107. In Order To Realize the World Of Peace
Rev. Sun Myung Moon
February 6, 2003
2003
A prophecy
I would like to ask you to take deep interest in the prophecy
that I am about to make.
Humankind is at a turning point.
This era is that long-awaited time in which the power of God
will become manifest in our lives, even though He is invisible
and has seemed almost powerless and nonexistent in the past.
108. In Order To Realize the World Of Peace
Rev. Sun Myung Moon
February 6, 2003
2003
The time has come when the absolute power of God,
who is the Lord of the holy order and laws which really do
exist in all things and in the universe, will manifest in amazing
ways and be experienced by people in their daily lives.
109. 2003
In this way, humankind will naturally experience the laws
of the universe, and become true people through a clear
change in character.
Through this, people will learn that the existing order of the
universe and the relationships of humankind were not made
to be centered on oneself or self-interest;
rather, they were made to live for the sake of others altruistically.
110. 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.
111. 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.
113. 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.
114. 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.
/Book 13 Peace Messages
115. Great Future for Mankind´
True Parents for Heaven Earth
and Humankind
Golden Age
116. 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.
118. Summary:
Prophecies are
not for the purpose of the satisfaction of human curiosity,
rather to prepare us for the future.
Mans 5% + Gods 95% = 100 % Fulfillment of Gods Will!
Be Responsible – Witness - Do Good! – Live for Others
We are at the center of the providence.
On us it depends whether we will bring
blessing or curs in our future. 5%/5%
119. So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these
men and let them alone, for
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.
You might even be found opposing God!”
/Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law
held in honor by all the people
/Acts of the Apostles, chapt 5, vers 34-42
120. 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.
121. 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
123. 2015
There was great rejoicing on September 1, 2015
in Cheong Pyeong, Korea, with the successful
publication of the Cham Bumo Gyeong
(3rd

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.
