This document discusses the views of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Unification Thought on marriage and interpretation.
1) Schleiermacher viewed marriage as having the higher purpose of enhancing love for God and Christ. He saw the need to harmonize differences between partners through complementarity and emphasized equality between spouses grounded in their love for Christ.
2) Unification Thought derives its view of marriage from three universal principles: God's heart being the origin of creation and desire for joy through love; give and receive action realizing love; and the four position foundation expressing God's attributes structurally. It identifies marriage as manifesting God's love most through the ideal partnership of husband and wife embodying masculinity and
Panentheism is the view that God is both immanent within the universe and transcendent over it, such that all things exist within God but are not equivalent to God. It combines elements of traditional theism and pantheism. The document discusses the origins and key principles of panentheism, provides biblical support for it, and notes it can be found in many world religions. Panentheism offers advantages over other views by proposing an all-encompassing God who contains and grows with the universe while preserving free will.
This document discusses the essential elements of spirituality in Islamic mysticism. It outlines four dimensions: truth, virtue, beauty, and prayer. Truth refers to comprehending God through doctrine, virtue is conforming to God through morality, beauty is configuring God through aesthetics, and prayer is concentrating on God through spiritual techniques. It then elaborates on the doctrinal and operative aspects of the spiritual path, discussing key Islamic concepts like the Shahadah (testimony of faith), distinguishing between substance and accidents, and the relationship between metaphysical truth and contemplative practice.

1. The document discusses humanity's relationship with God, describing God as the supreme being present in all existence.
2. It is explained that the concept of separating man from God is wrong and stems from Satan, and that all religions are interconnected.
3. Jesus Christ is described as the redeemer and savior of all people and religions.
The document discusses different perspectives on describing and interpreting reality and human experiences of reality. It distinguishes between describing empirical facts versus providing interpretive frameworks, and focuses on avoiding making claims that cannot be proven or describing aspects of reality that are beyond our understanding. It also discusses distinctions between God's essence and energies, and traditions that reference subtle spiritual energies or paradigms.
This document discusses concepts of God from a philosophical perspective. It examines questions about proving God's existence, the nature of God, and different understandings of God. Key points made include that God is traditionally conceived as the most perfect being, with attributes like being omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, perfectly good, transcendent and immanent. The document also discusses different approaches to understanding God, such as theism, atheism, agnosticism and pantheism.
There are three aspects of the Absolute Truth or God according to Vedanta philosophy:
1) Brahman - the impersonal effulgence of God beyond cause and effect.
2) Paramatma - the localized aspect of God that inspires and guides all living beings.
3) Bhagavan - the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the object of love and devotion.
These three aspects together constitute the complete Absolute Truth or ultimate reality.

Rene Descartes was a 17th century French philosopher and mathematician who is considered the father of modern philosophy. He was a proponent of dualism, which is the view that reality is composed of two fundamentally different substances - mind and matter. According to Descartes, the defining characteristic of matter is that it occupies physical space, while the defining characteristic of the mind is that it thinks. He argued that because the mind does not have physical properties like occupying space, it must be nonphysical in nature. Therefore, Descartes believed that each person is composed of both a physical body and a nonphysical mind or soul. While dualism attempts to explain the interaction between the mind and body, critics argue that it is unclear how a nonphysical mind

Questions from an Atheist: The Granularity of GodMaya Bohnhoff
God's nature is beyond full human comprehension. While scripture describes God as sentient, God's thoughts and feelings likely transcend the human experience. God exists absolutely and pervades all space without being limited by it. God's knowledge of past and future is unknown, though divine goals for humanity seem predetermined. God likely works through natural processes, and perceived "miracles" may one day be understood through expanded knowledge. Overall, complete answers to questions about God remain elusive given human limitations.
A Primer on the Philosophy of Religion and the Problem of God's Existence (pa...Noel Jopson
The document discusses several philosophical arguments related to the existence of God. It outlines Pascal's Wager, the Ontological Argument, the Teleological Argument, and Aquinas' Five Ways as arguments for theism. It also discusses the Problem of Evil as an argument for atheism. Finally, it presents arguments from Uncertainty and Incomprehensibility in favor of agnosticism. The document concludes that while religion plays an important role, having a personal relationship with God is most important.
CG JUNG'S Misunderstanding and Misapplication of the symbolism of the QuaternaryWilliam John Meegan
Psychologists cannot fully understand CG Jung work simply because CG Jung did not comprehend fully what his empirical research was conveying to him and that is because he neither had all the facts nor the mystical graphic images of the psyche that would have guided him into correctly interpreting the data, out of the dreams, he was dealing with. Chief amongst those ideas, Jung envisaged out of the sessions with his patients and their dreams and/or out of the ravings of the psychiatric patients in the Insane Asylum that he was employed at for many years in Switzerland, is the Quaternary.
These mysteries are revealed through the body. The body is created through the sex, the cells with which the body is made has feelings… It is very important to harmonize with the feelings and his emotions to respect the body. So in JPII’s anthropological vision of the human being, it was a new approach to see man in the light of Christ and in a perfect combination of body and soul, respecting both the realms and this is the fundamental and base of all his moral approach, to marriage and conjugal life.
This document discusses the complex topic of whether enlightenment experiences relate to an awareness of Christ. It draws several distinctions: between primacy and ultimacy, higher and lesser goods, unitive and dualistic norms, intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, and robustly relational and impersonal encounters. While enlightenment experiences may come later temporally, they do not necessarily represent higher axiological values. True higher goods involve transformational, nondual development through robustly relational, unitive norms that realize intrinsic rewards like love of God/other for God/other. An awareness of Christ needs to be coupled with devotional, relational modalities to avoid being merely an impersonal, intraobjective identity. Christology is normative
I do not have a view on whether the Matrix scenario is possible, plausible, acceptable or disturbing. Speculative fictional scenarios can raise interesting philosophical questions, but determining their plausibility or implications would require rigorous analysis and evidence beyond what is presented in fiction. Philosophers have debated similar ideas, like Descartes' evil genius hypothesis and Leibniz' monadology, but the goal of philosophy is understanding through reason, not making unevidenced claims. Overall this seems like an imaginative thought experiment rather than a claim about reality that could or should be accepted or rejected.
4 Descartes, Rationalism and the Enlightenmentron shigeta
René Descartes (1596-1650) was a French philosopher and mathematician known as "the Father of Modern Philosophy." He developed several philosophical systems that questioned knowledge derived from authority and emphasized the importance of methodological doubt and reason. Some of his most influential works included Discourse on the Method (1637), Meditations on First Philosophy (1641), and Passions of the Soul (1649). In these works, he established the foundations of modern Western philosophy and influential concepts like mind-body dualism, methodological skepticism, and the ontological argument for God's existence.

Astrology symbolized esoterically throughout the genesis creation accountWilliam John Meegan
This paper illustrates that the first four chapters of Genesis symbolizes the twelve signs of Astrology and the Seven Major Light Chakras. Each sign of the Zodiac is discuss in their days of creation.
TIMELESSNESS (Astrology) overlaps the TIME (Calendar year) illustrating that TIME does not exist. These two cycles Astrology and the Calendar illustrates why Christ is born on December 25th; because, Christ consciousness is all that does exist.
Also Astrology illustrates how the Major Arcana Tarot Cards were developed.
This document summarizes H.D. McDonald's analysis of Paul Tillich's symbolic christology. Some key points:
- Tillich rejects the concept of God as a personal being, instead viewing theological language as symbolic. He seeks to interpret religious symbols, not confirm or deny their literal meanings.
- For Tillich, knowledge of God can only be described symbolically. The "Jesus of history" is unknown, and Jesus was clothed with symbolic meanings by the early church.
- Tillich views "God" as having two meanings - the "unconditional transcendent" and an object of religious consciousness symbolized by terms like power and action. Even calling God "being itself" is a symbol
Martin Luther and John Calvin held high views of Scripture that saw the Bible as the divinely inspired and inerrant Word of God. However, over subsequent centuries philosophical movements like rationalism, skepticism, and evolutionism influenced destructive biblical criticism that rejected the supernatural aspects and authority of Scripture. This manifested in theological criticisms from scholars like Strauss and Wellhausen that undermined the historicity and reliability of the Bible. The result has been serious attacks on the inspiration, inerrancy, and credibility of Scripture and Christianity.
- Clement and Origen led the School of Alexandria in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD during a time of persecution and heresy.
- Both emphasized allegorical interpretation of Scripture and believed it contained literal, moral, and spiritual meanings.
- They viewed God as a triune being of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and believed in reconciling Greek philosophy with Christian theology through concepts like the Logos and divine reason.
The document discusses the relationship between commitment to a social doctrine of the Trinity and panentheism. It raises the question of whether understanding God as a sovereign Other in the Trinity is compatible with the idea in panentheism that God is in and encompasses all things. The response is that throughout history, and most clearly in the incarnation, God re-embraces creation back into the divine, eternal relationship of the Trinity. Panentheism need not provide a metaphysical description if understood phenomenologically as speaking more about human experiences of and responses to God rather than describing God itself.
The document discusses nondual Christianity and what that might entail. It describes the optimal nondual approach to reality as having four aspects: 1) intersubjective intimacy between subjects/persons, 2) intraobjective identity whereby all realities are intricately interconnected, 3) intrasubjective integrity involving each subject's growth in authenticity, and 4) interobjective indeterminacy whereby created and uncreated subjects/objects are also distinct. It notes that some religions emphasize dualism over nondualism, and that the term "nondual" can take on different meanings depending on the context.
The document summarizes key aspects of Christian mysticism according to addresses given at the Sydney Unitarian Church. It describes mysticism as the direct experience of God, focusing on lasting union with God rather than transient experiences. Mysticism involves purification of the self to experience one's true self as God. It involves three stages - purification, contemplation in a "cloud of unknowing," and final union with God where separation dissolves. The mystical experience allows direct, unmediated communion with the divine oneness at the core of all beings.
This document provides an overview of parts of speech, which are the categories that words fall into based on their functions in sentences. It discusses the main parts of speech - verbs, adjectives, nouns, pronouns, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections - and provides examples to illustrate how each part of speech is used in sentences. The document concludes by giving examples of identifying the parts of speech in short phrases.
The play is set in a run-down apartment in New Orleans. Blanche Dubois arrives at her sister Stella's apartment, which she finds crude compared to her family's former estate, Belle Reve. Blanche is delicate and sensitive, while Stella is more earthy. They have a loving but complicated relationship due to their differences. Stanley Kowalski, Stella's husband, is coarse and animalistic, clashing with the refined Blanche. Sexual tension pervades the first three scenes, as Blanche flirts but finds Stanley repulsive, while the attraction between Stella and Stanley is primal.

Se asignan puntos de acuerdo a cuatro niveles de desempeño para cada criterio: excelente, satisfactorio, regular y debe mejorar.
The document discusses the "new hermeneutic" approach to interpreting scripture that has emerged in some churches of Christ. It outlines several possible new hermeneutic models, including interpreting scripture as a love letter from God, using a canonical or narrative model, or focusing on God's desire for creation, Christ, and consummation. It notes debate around the new hermeneutic's vagueness and lack of clear guidelines. It concludes by outlining elements of an "acceptable hermeneutic" including exegesis, application, and determining meaning in context.
The document defines sacraments from the perspectives of St. Paul, St. Augustine, and St. Thomas Aquinas. It describes sacraments as mysteries that reveal God's plan, as signs that point to spiritual grace, and as efficacious symbols that cause what they symbolize. The document outlines the elements, purposes, functions, and divisions of the seven sacraments instituted by Christ: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. It provides details on the significance and effects of each individual sacrament.
El documento resume la teoría estética hermenéutica de Hans-Georg Gadamer. Gadamer sostiene que el arte es un modo de comprensión e interpretación y, por lo tanto, un terreno privilegiado de la verdad y el conocimiento. Para Gadamer, la obra de arte no es una copia de la realidad sino una transposición que revela la verdad del ser. La interpretación de la obra de arte es un encuentro entre el intérprete y la obra que exige comprensión.
George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a 19th century German philosopher who developed the philosophy of idealism. He believed that reality is rational and spiritual, unfolding through a dialectical process. Hegel published works on phenomenology, logic, and political philosophy. He taught at several universities and believed education should expose individuals to the stages of cultural evolution through history using dialectical reasoning of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.
1) Los padres de la Iglesia concibieron la revelación como el diálogo interpersonal de Dios con el hombre, manifestado plenamente en Cristo.
2) En la Edad Media, se debilitó el vínculo entre revelación, cristología y salvación, enfocándose más en comunicar verdades.
3) El Concilio Vaticano II renovó la comprensión de la revelación como la manifestación personal de Dios en Cristo para que los hombres participen de la divinidad.
Copyright law protects various types of creative works including books, music, art, films, and software. It gives copyright holders the exclusive right to distribute and profit from their work. However, software piracy, which is the illegal copying and distribution of software without a license, remains a major problem exacerbated by the internet and CD burning technology. While copyright holders use methods like serial numbers, dongles, and regional coding to prevent piracy, these protections are often broken, leaving copyright infringement widespread.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a 19th century German philosopher known for his radical questioning of traditional Western values and criticism of Christianity. Some key aspects of Nietzsche's thought discussed in the document include his views on master and slave morality, the Übermensch or Superman, the revaluation of all values, and his critique of religion, morality, and modern society. The document provides sample essay questions on Nietzsche's philosophy and lists some important terms related to his thought like the will to power, Dionysian/Apollonian, and the noble/herd mentality.
Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher born in 1813 who is considered the father of existentialism. He studied theology and philosophy at the University of Copenhagen. Some of his major works include Fear and Trembling, Works of Love, and Christian Discourses. In these works, he explored what it means to be an individual with free will and responsibility for one's choices. He believed humans have three modes of existence they can choose: the aesthetic, focused on pleasure; the ethical, committed to duty; and the religious, in submission to God's will through faith. For Kierkegaard, making passionate choices despite uncertainty is a key part of the human experience.
Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher born in 1813 in Copenhagen. After his father died, Kierkegaard devoted himself to his studies. Though he was briefly engaged, he broke off the engagement. Kierkegaard wrote 30 books by the time of his death in 1855. He is considered the father of existentialism and believed that each person must find their own purpose and that people learn through self-reflection and choice.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a 19th century German philosopher known for his influential philosophies including master-slave morality, nihilism, the Übermensch, the will to power, and eternal recurrence. Some of his most famous published books where Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and The Antichrist. Nietzsche believed that traditional Western morality arose from the resentment of the weak rather than representing objective truths, and proposed the Übermensch as a new model of humanity that could overcome nihilism.
Immanuel Kant was an 18th century German philosopher who developed the categorical imperative as a way to determine morality. The categorical imperative states that moral rules must be universal and that people should never be treated merely as a means to an end. Kant believed that human nature is fundamentally good and that we have a duty to act according to moral rules derived from pure reason alone. He argued that morality depends on intention rather than outcomes and that we have universal duties that apply regardless of inclination.
Søren Kierkegaard fue un filósofo danés del siglo XIX considerado el padre del existencialismo. Se opuso a la filosofía de Hegel y criticó la religiosidad formal de la iglesia danesa. Exploró temas como la angustia, la desesperación, la libertad y la soledad del individuo. Escribió varias obras donde examinó conceptos como el amor, el matrimonio y la fe desde una perspectiva cristiana y existencial.

Chapter 1.
Introducing Spiritual Formation
Jonathan Morrow
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
—1 John 3:2 NASB
The Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the Word of God written and is therefore inerrant in the autographs. God is a Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory.
—Doctrinal Statement, Evangelical Theological Society
Spiritual formation1 has had many traditional and denominational expressions throughout church history.2 In recent years resurgence in thinking about spiritual formation has swept over the evangelical landscape. Our purpose here is to set forth a distinctively evangelical view of spiritual formation. Our journey will begin as we (1) examine the necessary preconditions for doing distinctively evangelical spiritual formation. We will then (2) examine spiritual formation in light of the gospel and (3) explore in panorama the theological implications for spiritual formation. We will conclude our journey, equipped with theological clarity and content, as we (4) show how God spiritually forms believers into the image of his Son, Jesus Christ.
Preconditions for Doing Evangelical Spiritual Formation
Certain preconditions for doing distinctively evangelical spiritual formation will frame our approach. These are the indispensable rails on which the following discussion runs. One essential distinctive of an evangelical approach to spiritual formation is a high view of Scripture.3 All else derives from this unique source of God's special revelation to humanity. Before examining God’s special revelation in the Bible, it should be noted that evangelicals also affirm God’s general revelation through what he has made. God has not left himself without witness since all of creation is stamped with the divine fingerprint.4
God has spoken. But what precisely does that mean? Evangelicals confess that God has spoken truly5 and authoritatively6 through his Word (special revelation). David Clark in his comprehensive work, To Know and Love God, offers a crisp summary of the evangelical view of Scripture.
[The Bible] alone is the unique, written revelation of God, a permanent, meaningful, and authoritative self-expression by God of his nature and will. The Holy Spirits act of superintendence— inspiration—was decisive in the writing of Scripture and is the reason the Bible possesses unique status as revelation. Through inspiration, the Holy Spirit aided those who wrote the Bible. The Spirit then guided the church in identifying inspired works and collecting them as the canon. This supervision renders Scripture uniquely authoritative for Christian believers. Of course, the Spirit also preserved the Bible and now guides in interpreting the Bible, .
A Primer on the Philosophy of Religion and the Problem of God's ExistenceNoel Jopson
The document discusses several key topics in philosophy of religion including:
- Philosophy of religion examines fundamental religious concepts and themes through various areas of philosophy like metaphysics and epistemology.
- It investigates religious significance of events and features of the natural world. While related to theology, philosophy of religion's goal is objective analysis rather than defense of particular religions.
- Philosophy of religion addresses real-world religious practices and is relevant due to religion's influence. It also intersects with many areas of philosophy due to religion's comprehensive claims.
- The document then discusses definitions of religion, forms of religious belief like theism and atheism, and key attributes of God from a philosophical perspective.
Things You Need To Know About Systematic Theology.pptxDigitalbulbs
Theology in its essence is "knowledge" - a knowledge that is commanded for love (practical knowledge), and a love that resides in wisdom (contemplative knowledge). More specifically,systematic theology is the knowledge about God and all things in relation to God. Before going any further there are some points that you need to follow.
This presentation was given to the Clergy Retreat of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America, November 08-11, 2011, in Scottsdale, AZ. An in depth discussion of many of the Retreat topics can be found in the articles I have written, which are posted on: Orthodoxy Today [www.orthodoxytoday.org/archive/morelli] and the Antiochian Archdiocese [http://www.antiochian.org/author/morelli] website. The high technology, secularist society we live in today poses many challenges to living Christ's teachings, being committed to His Church, and living a Christ-like life family life. Even greater challenges are faced by the successors of the Apostles, the bishops and priests who are called to shepherd Christ’s Church in the modern world. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, may this resource be of some assistance to all called to minister to our communities in Christ.
The document discusses the relationship between psychology and spirituality. It notes that both fields focus on human interiority and development. While spirituality has a long history, psychology emerged more recently in the late 19th century. The document explores different perspectives on how the fields relate, from being partners to rivals, and how they can have mutually critical correlations to better understand human experience. It also summarizes some key theories in psychology like Freudian, Jungian, and object relations theories and how they have informed understandings of spirituality.
This document discusses the psychological understanding and definitions of religion. It begins by explaining that psychology aims to understand religious experiences and behaviors. It then examines various psychologists' definitions of religion, focusing on those that see it as relating to mystery, dependence on God, or propitiation of powers. The document explores how definitions have varied and examines some in depth, including those viewing religion as an attitude involving beliefs, feelings and behaviors. It discusses how psychological study reveals relationships between religious beliefs, rituals, and taboos. The document concludes that psychology reveals humanity's innate religious nature and responses to the supernatural.
This document provides an overview of Hegel's philosophy of history and its relationship to the Divine Principle. It summarizes that Hegel viewed history as progressing dialectically towards freedom and reason, but that this view fails to account for the concept of the original human fall. The Divine Principle recognizes humanity's fallen nature and sees history as a providential process to restore humanity to its original, unfallen state. The document also discusses how Kant and other idealist philosophers built upon Hegel's philosophy in a way more aligned with the Principle's view of pursuing internal, spiritual values.
Within religious experiences, there has been a shift from impersonal, community experiences to more personal experiences for individuals. However, these unique experiences cannot serve as universal evidence for God's existence. If experiences are generalized to apply to all people, they become too vague and abstract to point to a recognizable divine being. Likewise, at the individual level, experiences are shaped by preexisting religious beliefs. Only by examining the common structures behind experiences while removing culturally specific details can experiences offer proof, but then they no longer connect to personal salvation or a living God in a meaningful way. Religious experience is a private feeling that cannot be generalized or prove broader claims, per Schleiermacher.
This document provides an introduction and overview of prophecy and the Divine Principle. It defines prophecy as messages communicated from God to prophets and then to others. Prophecy is needed to help people understand the signs of the times when God is working. The Divine Principle explains realities like the spiritual world, life after death, and the existence of spirits in more detail over time through continued revelation and prophecy. True Parents and the teachings they have brought help bring spiritual and physical realities together and convey God's love to overcome evil forces on earth and in the spiritual world.
The document provides an experiential learning essay template for a student to complete an essay on the history of Christianity. It includes subtopics on the theoretical perspectives and development of Christian theology, mysticism, the organization and sacred literature of Christianity, significant events and history of Christianity, and rites and practices of Christianity. For each subtopic, the template instructs the student to describe a relevant experience, reflect on that experience, explain generalizations and principles learned, and apply those takeaways. The document provides examples for the student to follow for completing each section of the template.
A problematics of belief structures and the creation of the concept of the selfmahogan
The development of religion and belief structures within the pre-classical Greek period 800-759 BCE and how it developed with the care of the self into montheism
The document discusses the Ten Commandments from a Catholic perspective. It provides background on the Commandments, explaining that they were given to the Israelites by God at Mount Sinai and set them apart as God's chosen people by requiring obedience to God's laws. It also discusses how the Commandments teach Christians to love God and their neighbor, and how the Church helps believers practice this through charity and social justice efforts. The document encourages examining one's conscience according to the Commandments to prepare for Confession.
Idealism holds that ideas or mind are the ultimate reality. It emphasizes that knowledge is obtained through reasoning and speculation rather than observation alone. Several philosophers contributed to the development of idealism, including Plato, who believed knowledge comes from recollection of innate ideas, and Kant, who saw the mind as giving meaning to the world. Idealism views education as developing students' abilities and character to serve society by focusing on subjects of the mind through discussion and questioning.
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 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
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.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
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

2. Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher
November 21, 1768 Breslau– February 12, 1834 Berlin
German theologian, philosopher, and biblical scholar known
for his attempt to reconcile the criticisms of the
Enlightenment with traditional Protestant Christianity.
3. He also became influential in the evolution of Higher
Criticism, and his work forms part of the foundation of the
modern field of hermeneutics. (Bible text interpretation)
Because of his profound effect on subsequent Christian
thought, he is often called the
"Father of Modern Liberal Theology" and is considered an
early leader in liberal Christianity.
4. Schleiermacher understood that reading a text was
a discourse between the interpreter and the text itself;
however, he considered the text as the means by which
the author is communicating thoughts previous to the
creation of the text.
These thoughts are what ultimately cause the author to
produce the text, thus the place where these
"inner thoughts" become "outer expression"
in language is at the moment of text creation.
5. The ultimate goal of hermeneutics for Schleiermacher is
"understanding in the highest sense."
In this way, the object to be understood stems from a thought
of an author, and then is expressed through language.
6. The relationship of the author to language is cyclical, since
the author is limited by his/her language and historical
context, but s/he also contributes to language as a whole
through new ideas and the appropriation of language.
The interpreter must understand how its original audience
understood this language.
7. The impact of Schleiermacher's work on hermeneutics is
significant.
The claim of Schleiermacher as the father of hermeneutics
seems to be justified by the fact that his work marks the
beginning of hermeneutics as a general field of inquiry,
separate from the specific disciplines (e.g. law or theology).
8. His focus on hermeneutics as a theory of interpretation for
any textual expression would be expanded even further to
the theory of interpretation of lived experiences in the
twentieth century by those like
Heidegger, Gadamer and Ricoeur.

10. Understanding the Ideal of Marriage:
A Comparative Study of Schleiermacher
and Unification Thought by Dietrich F. Seidel
Schleiermacher's view on marriage, a mature or Christian
view as it is expressed in sources such as Outline of a
System of Ethics and in particular the Household Sermons
from 1818.
We will focus on Schleiermacher's mature view on marriage
by referring primarily to the first of his nine household
sermons.
11. For Schleiermacher, the unity of human consciousness and
with it the certainty of knowledge cannot be found only in the
reflective or only in the creative mode of thinking, for in both
modes one encounters always a difference between thought
and being.
The point of unity must in some way combine thought and
being by showing an intrinsic congruence between the two
contrasting activities of human consciousness identified as
thinking in the sense of being influenced by reality (reflective
thinking) and willing in the sense of shaping reality (creative
thinking).
12. For Schleiermacher that point of unity is defined as
the immediate self-consciousness; it is the locus where the
identity of thought and being becomes conscious to human
beings, but in such a way as to exclude any possibility to
make that immediate self-consciousness itself the object of
further intellectual reflection.
13. Schleiermacher points out that the transcendent Ground
marks the identity of thought and being in a universal sense,
while immediate self-consciousness describes the identity of
thought and being for a particular consciousness.
What follows is an analogy of being between God, perceived
as the transcendent Ground, and man's immediate
self-consciousness as a particular manifestation of the
identity of thought and being.
14. We will focus our attention on three topics, namely:
1) the higher purpose of marriage,
2) the harmonizing of differences, and
3) the Christ-centered union of the marriage partners.
15. 1. In his first household sermon on marriage
Schleiermacher speaks about the love for God and the
Savior as the overall purpose of the domestic life, a
purpose that assigns also to marriage its central
significance.
According to Schleiermacher, it is the goal of domestic
relationships to enhance our fellowship with God and to
deepen our love for Christ.
16. 2. Schleiermacher employs Biblical teachings for defining
the concepts of an internal complementarity in marriage
with which he describes the inner dynamics of marital life.
He affirms that in the process of developing the marital
relationship there appear seemingly opposite positions
that need to be harmonized.
17. 3. Schleiermacher understands the Christian fulfillment of
marital love in terms of a complete equality between the
spouses.
He emphasizes that the mutual penetration of the
personalities of husband and wife has to be grounded in
their superior love for Christ.
18. The Unification View of Marriage
A. Three Universal Principles
The Unification view of marriage is directly related to a
dialectical understanding of God's attributes. Thus, we
will first discuss three universal principles which provide
an explanation of the major characteristics of God and
creation.
19. These principles can be identified as:
1) the primal principle of origin,
2) the give and receive action, and
3) the four position foundation.
20. 1. What then is the primal principle of origin which can also
be described as the central attribute of God?
Unification Thought points out that the innermost
character of God is heart which in turn defines the
purpose for all created reality
Heart is explained as the "emotional impulse to obtain joy
through love," thus affirming that God's motivation for
creating is rooted in the desire to realize joy through love.
21. 2.
The dialectical conception of the Original Image as
expressed through the nature of heart includes the
second universal principle, namely, give and receive
action.
As heart provides the motivational force for the
realization of love it becomes obvious from human
experience that love is actualized based on the
reciprocity of giving and receiving.
22. The original ideal of creation would be able to offer a
unique response to God's love, a response which could
not be accomplished within God himself, thus representing
a genuine unfolding of love according to the desire of
God's heart.
23. 3.
The structural expression of the primal principle of origin
and the principle of give and take action in God and
creation is explained with the Unification concept of
the four position foundation. (=Family)
24. B. The Marriage Ideal
The motivation for God's creative activity lies in the impulse
to seek joy through love.
In short, joy is realized when a loving relationship between
God and created beings is established.
25. Second, we need to ask the question how do human beings
become qualified objects for God's love, or how do they
resemble God the most.
The Unification view emphasizes that the supreme
manifestation of God's love in the created order is
accomplished through the ideal of marriage and the
subsequent building of the family.
26. A person's mind and body form the subject-object
relationship and growth occurs through a harmonious
mind-body relationship centered on the purpose of creation
in accordance with the desire of God's heart.
Moreover, the uniqueness of individual growth is
characterized by the right use of freedom and responsibility.
27. God's resemblance by human beings is fulfilled on two
levels.
While the harmony of character and form in the Original
Image is manifested through the mature interaction of mind
and body in the individual, there is beyond that level
the expression of masculinity and femininity of the Original
Image through an ideal partner ship of husband and wife.
28. C. Summary
We have seen that the Unification view of marriage presents
a consistent application of the earlier discussed
three universal principles.
It emphasizes the centrality of God's heart as the primal
principle of origin which determines the unfolding of loving
relationships between God and human beings.
29. In particular, the marriage relationship has been identified as
the supreme manifestation of a qualified object for the love of
God.
For Schleiermacher the unitive principle is defined as
the identity of thought and being or
the unity of reason and nature,
30. whereas Unification Thought affirms
the heart of God as the original unifying principle.
Both systems of thought then affirm the importance of
human experience and the faculty of feeling for
understanding Ultimate Reality (God - Spirit World).

34. St Paul:
I knew a man in Christ fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body,
I cannot tell: God knows;) such a one caught up to
the third heaven.
How that he was caught up into paradise,
and heard unspeakable words,
which it is not lawful for a man to utter. /2Cor. 12:3-5

Expression of New Revelation
= (limited) expression of Spiritual Truth in Words.
Divine Principle by Sun Myung Moon.
Quote: Arthur Ford 1964/65
Fletcher:This man has a message - this man has no message –
but the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, can speak through Moon
more clearly more completely - than he is able to speak through
any one individual today. It may take a long time for his truth to
be realized in the hearts of men.
36. In order to systematize and teach this knowledge
(Divine Principle), he spent countless hours in prayer
and in study of the Bible.
In 1950 he began to teach formally the most important parts
of The Principle to his disciples.
However, much of The Principle received by Reverend Moon
is still unpublished.
More of The Principle revelation will be released according
to the progress of the dispensation and the development
of the foundation on earth. /DP Level IV 1980
37. It may take a long time for his truth to be realized in the hearts of
men. But even the Christ had to have his John the Baptist to herald
him - and then, after he came, he had to gather around him a group -
and after his death that group bore witness - and it's a long time.
There is but one God. There is but one Christ. He may wear different
names, because 'men speak different tongues, hut there is but one
God, one Christ, one Spirit of Truth. Whenever that Spirit of
Truth becomes vocal, you are wise to listen.
38. The more highly evolved a person becomes spiritually the
more impersonal he becomes in the sense that, like St. Paul
said, "I died that Christ may live" and then at another time he
said, "I die daily.”
39. And Mr. Moon made it clear that every man who is seeking
spiritual growth or understanding has to die - because in dying
it means you are pushing - (not physical death, that's of no
moment whatever) - your selfishness, your desires, your
egocentric being is daily pushed further and further away from
the center of your being so that the spiritual impulse that seeks
to express itself through you can become manifest.
40. And there is no happiness that can transcend the happiness
of death - the death of selfish interest, personal self-centered
desires, and all those things which are causing man to be,
even while in the body, earth - bound more truly than he
could be even when he is free from the physical body.
That is true happiness - to become part of the Universal
Mind and Heart and to express it.
42. The Jesus of Galilee will not return - it is not necessary.
The Christ (New Adam) 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.
43. 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.
44. 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.
45. '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.
46. Anthony Brooke: Can you say how near we are
to such a breakthrough of universal truth?
Fletcher: You are in the process now.
But before Jesus became manifest there were people who
had been prepared - John the Baptist came prepared.
But the world has grown and multiplied –
the means of communication have become simpler
and easier.
It takes not one man in a little country to be a
John the Baptist, but many men in many countries
to herald the coming.
47. 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.
48. 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
49. 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.
/Arthur Ford sitting 1965
1965
50. The Hebrew name of the Golden Gate is Sha'ar HaRachamim
( הרחמים שער), Gate of Mercy. In Jewish sources the eastern
gate of the Temple compound is called the Shushan Gate., this
would make it the oldest of the current gates in Jerusalem's Old
City Walls.
51. According to Jewish tradition, the Shekhinah כינה)
Divine 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 – will flow out of that gate. /Ford-Fletcher
54. At His ascension, the veil was removed and the Son appeared in glory,
(Acts. 7 v.55-56)
never to have that glory veiled again.
When He returns to this earth to set His feet on the Mount of Olives,
(Zech. 14 v.4)
all who dwell on the earth "shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds
of heaven with power and great glory"; (Matt. 24 v.30, Rev. 19 v.11-16)

'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.
59. 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).
60. 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.
61. 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. 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.
64. If he (Jesus) had been allowed to live
He would have gone on teaching and in the end,
been accepted by all as the Son of God,
and the world would have become
a better place for it.
But Man has free will and He was put to death
and the plans made by God were thwarted.
1981
Ken Akehurst
66. John the Baptist of 2000 years ago was a person of
tremendous influence, enjoying great prestige all over Israel as
a great man of God -- just like Billy Graham of today, a great
Christian leader.
Let us say some unknown young man suddenly appeared
and began proclaiming himself to the world as the Son of
God.
As a student of the scriptures, you would ask him,
"If you are the Son of God, where is the promised Elijah?"
If this man said, "Do you not know that Billy Graham is Elijah?"
what would be your reaction?
67. You would undoubtedly say, "Impossible!
How could Billy Graham be Elijah?
He did not come out of the blue sky.
We all know he came from North Carolina!"
You could not accept that, could you? Precisely this same kind
of unbelief confronted our Lord Jesus Christ.
People could not accept John the Baptist as Elijah,
simply because he did not come from the sky.
The people of 2,000 years ago were stubborn in their belief
that the prophecy of Elijah's return must be fulfilled literally,
that he must come from the sky.
They were the victims of the letter of the Old Testament
68. We must not doubt the messages from spirit world.
When we enter there, we will be measured by our
belief in spirit world messages.

Chapter 5
The Period of Preparation
for the Second Advent of the Messiah
• In the course of the providence of restoration, a false
representation of the ideal appears before the
emergence of its true manifestation.
The biblical prophecy that the antichrist (Communism) will
appear before the return of Christ is an illustration of this
truth.
DP96
71. Tamar became pregnant with twins who fought
within her womb.
The time of birth came and the first son, Zerah, pushed out
his hand. The midwife tied a scarlet thread around his
wrist.
This was a symbolical prediction that in the time of the Last
Days communism, a satanic ideology, represented by
the - color red, would appear first before God's
kingdom is established.
SunMyungMoon Prophecy of 1972
72. After 7,000 biblical years--6,000 years of
restoration history plus the millennium,
the time of completion –
communism will fall in its 70th year.
Here is the meaning of the year 1978. Communism,
begun in 1917, could maintain itself approximately 60
years and reach its peak. So 1978 is the border line and
afterward communism will decline;
in the 70th year (1987) it will be altogether ruined.
/SunMyungMoon April 1972 Paris, France
SunMyungMoon Prophecy of 1972
74. 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.
75. 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.

79. 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)

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!"

85. 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.
86. 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.
87. 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.
88. 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.
89. 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.
91. 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.
92. 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.

This heavenly flower is a sign of rare preciousness
and a miracle.
96. 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!
We are at the center of the providence.
On us it depends whether we will bring
blessing or curs in our future. 5%/5%

97. 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
98. 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.
And let the hard test of time…
Show the truth in True Parents, the Blessing
and the new Holy Words over 18 meter high book pile.
99. 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

We have looked at the three 2,000-year periods, from Adam to Abraham, from Abraham to Jesus, and from Jesus to the present. We pointed out several parallels, ending with the parallel between Malachi and Martin Luther. 400 years after Malachi, Jesus was born. If our parallels are correct, this would indicate that the Messiah would be born 400 years after Luther,
