"Although a child is wordless, he is a teacher of heart leading his parents. - Sun Myung Moon"


I. Introduction:

In this article I wish to introduce the Rev Dr & Mrs Sun Myung Moon as the True Parents of Heaven Earth and Humankind. This title refers to their qualification as representatives of God the Father and God the Mother on Earth. There life of faith opened the gateway to heaven on earth as the Age of Aquarius. Through their presence, humankind finally has the wisdom and love of God with us; as their absolute faith, love, obedience and wisdom (F.L.O.W) towards Heavenly Parents via the calling of Lord Jesus Christ has opened the floodgates of Divine Wisdom needed to build God’s kingdom on earth during the next decade until 2030.

II. Background Unfolding:


The Origin of Man as Children of God:

In Gen 1:28 Heavenly Parents told Adam and Eve (the first human beings with the consciousness of God) to be fruitful, to Multiply and to take Dominion over all things. These three blessings in modern terms were as follows:

1 Be Fruitful: Grow to spiritual maturity in the image of God. Thus in Mt 5:48 we are encouraged to become perfect as Heavenly Father. 
2. Multiply and Full the Earth: Find a spouse and form an Ideal family, whereby new human beings as God's true children can be raised in dignity with lots of True Love. Such families are called True Families headed by True Parents. For this reason we are told in Mt 22:1-14 that Lord Jesus came to get married and in Rev 19:6-9 Christians are encouraged to attend the Wedding Supper of the Lord of the Second Coming and to meet His Bride..  
3. Take Dominion over everything: Use your unique talents and skills to work together creating an Ideal Environment as One Family under God. This ideal environment is urgently needed to turn back the tide of global warming and other environmental plaques and degradation (see Rev 15 to 18) mankind is destined to face as the Lord and His people, (Rev 14) the 144,000 white robe saints, substantiate the New Jerusalem on Earth.  

Eight hundred thousand (800,000) years ago, had our original physical parents (Adam and Eve) obeyed God their invisible Heavenly Parents, humankind would have been able to transform the Garden of Eden directly into the Kingdom of God on Earth instead of this Hell Hole we currently live in! As they died, they would have inherited the natural character and visible form of God from their life experiences on Earth, allowing them to collectively settle into the Kingdom of God in the Spiritual world. With such an environment on earth and in heaven each child would have been born into a just, amicable and loving family.


Thus, Father Moon’s opening words above tell us the value of our children in nurturing God’s loving heart in their parents, but this would require the environment of an ideal family to work properly. This was to be the origin of man as children of God. Adam and Eve as the first such parents were destined to become the model image of their Invisible Heavenly Parents by simply observing the core value of filial pity towards their Heavenly Parents.

The Ideal family as the Messianic Hope of God:

Regrettably Adam and Eve fell away from God and aligned themselves with Evil as the opposite of Life. They chose the way of free sex outside of an ordain marriage and family sanctioned by God. Had they not fallen our human society would have been completely different. It would have been built from the singularity of the Family Unit instead of the Individual unit which holds true today. There would have been no supper rich or supper poor, because in a family everything is mutual or cooperative and everyone is interconnected and loved.  Such a family would have been the ideal singular form of God our Heavenly Parent and the very LOGOS or WORD made flesh[1]. All members of that family would be counted as children of the Creator who exist as the Heavenly Parents of Everything. The very laws of the universe are derived from the nature of God our Heavenly Parents. Thus, we say they are unchanging, self-existing, eternal and absolute (U-SEA); like a Universal SEA of energy within which everything has its origin.
Yet as an invisible being they are helpless to assist us directly, thus their desire and search throughout history has been for human beings capable of exhibiting the qualities of absolute faith, love and obedience to their will/words. The first such human beings would qualify as the Blessed Messianic children of God, and as stated in Mt 5 they would have been able to create the eternal peace kingdom of God on Earth. Adam and Eve as the first human beings directly born by Heavenly Parents were destined to be direct physical embodiment of Heavenly Parents on earth but this would have required them to absolutely flow with the will of God. Here we find the origin of the messianic vision.
From the fall of Adam in the book of Genesis to the final victorious appearance of a Man God Couple in the book of Revelation; we are told of Heavenly Parent’s search for the victorious True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind on earth. Their first and second attempt to send the Messiah as True Parents or “Living Word made Flesh” ended in failure because of the faithlessness of those Chosen to receive them. With Adam this faithlessness led to an Angel becoming the God of this world, while with Lord Jesus it led to Him having to go the way of the Cross providing only Spiritual Salvation for humankind.

III. The Root of Human Suffering:



The Problem:
 
All of human suffering and pain has resulted from man's alienation from the One True God as our Heavenly Parents. With the fall of Adam as the first attempt of God’s substantial presence on earth, we all become slaves to S.I.N., under the bondage of Corruption as children of the Devil. Though historical religion has sort to restore our relationship and awaken us to our true destiny, none have succeeded. So, our world continues in suffering and pain in the mist of thousands of religious institutions and organization doing what they call charity and salvation ministry. Even Lord Jesus, who was meant to be the “last Adam”[2], was only able to provide spiritual salvation for humankind. No religion today has a true solution for human suffering. Why not? Because no one understands the root cause of sin and human suffering!

Thus, in Rev 21:1-5 we are informed of the Heaven's ultimate solution to human suffering. A solution promised to Christianity by Lord Jesus Christ. That solution is called "The Second Coming of the Messiah as Two Olive Trees" (Rev11). Christians think this will be a magical event where the lord will appear in the sky of heavens, but this is not true. In Rev 21 we are told God Himself will appear on earth in His earthy tabernacle[3], meaning a human couple exhibiting the true character of God in the flesh!:

"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God... He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." Rev 21:3,7

We are told that many will be called when the Lord returns in the flesh but only a few will be chosen to meet the Lord as part of the first resurrection while He is on earth. Those few will have to endure bitter trials and ordeal...thus only "he that overcometh shall inherit all things". The rest of humankind will simply die in ignorance. This is the meaning of the 2nd death spoken of in Rev 20:6.


Well here is the real shocker…this second coming event took place through the appearance and Marriage of Rev Dr Sun Myung Moon in 1960. My family and I are a witness to this! I say this not to convince or convert any of you but simply to share the Truth. For those truly interested in this final solution to humanity suffering and pain, please start by reading the Divine Principle cover to cover then contact me or our family at +231 778489146 or email truelovefamilyfoundation@hotmail.com. Even visit www.truelovefamilyfoundation.org


 The Solution:


 From 1960 to 2000 the Lord and His Bride endued much suffering and rejection as they strove to awaken humankind to their mission as the Lords of the Second Coming or as the True Parents of Heaven Earth and Humankind. During the Period from 2000 to 2006 they proclaimed the Kingship of God on earth and established the base for the rise of God’s Kingdom on Earth! Today my family and I hold a trinity of citizenship as citizens of Liberia, S. Korea and Cheon Il Guk (the Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity).

 My final life mission is to work towards the transformation of Liberia into a Nation of Destiny for Africa[4] through civic education and the mobilization of 430 couples who can stand with us as central blessed families working for Heavenly Good Governance here in West Africa. This can only be possible when God Himself dwells on earth with man. For the legitimacy of God’s Kingship can only be established on Earth by His Only Begotten Son and Only Begotten Daughter co-existing on earth in the flesh. They then become the source solution of all human suffering and pain as the True Parents of heaven earth and humankind. My family and I have accepted Rev Dr & Mrs Moon as the Only Begotten Son and Daughter of God, but how about you! Are you willing to simply die in ignorance, or would you like to know the truth?

IV. How does one know that another human being is God’s Only Begotten Son or Daughter?


The bible says you can tell the true from the false by their fruit (Mt 7:16-21). The Divine Principle as “the Word of God” is a clear calling card of the Messianic Couple chosen by God. It reveals the hidden mysteries of heaven as the fruit of “the sword from the month” of the Man on the White Horse (Rev 19:11-16). This is how Lord Jesus taught me to know Father Moon was the Lord of the Second Coming and His Bride was the incarnation of the Holy Spirit. As stated in the bible Mt 7:7:

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"

In 1982 I was the first Liberian blessed by True Parents. Since then I have been striving to awaken other Liberians to the reality of True Parents as God with us on Earth. Thirty-three (33) years later (1982 to 2015) and 30,000 blessed Couples later we are still asleep as the oldest nation in Africa built on Christian principles. This is a clear sign of our spiritual ignorance in the mist of great blessings.
  
 Originally, I had hoped to finish this mission of transforming Liberia by 2010 but for reasons beyond my control 2020 became my new deadline. So this Christmas message of my is my final attempt to say: “Wake Up Liberia!” before we conclude 2020. The key mission of True Parents is to provide physical salvation to humankind in the same why Lord Jesus provided spiritual salvation to Christianity.

Today 2000 years since the death of Lord Jesus Christ, Christianity has grown into a worldwide movement and by faith has provided spiritual salvation to millions of people, yet and still these very souls and the rest of humankind remain under the bondage of corruption, S.I.N and human suffering. Why? Because spiritual salvation is inadequate to resolve the problems caused by the Fall of Adam & Eve. This requires physical Salvation and victorious central blessed couples working cooperatively as One Family Under God

V. What is the Meaning of Physical Salvation?


Let’s start by discussing what Spiritual Salvation is:

#SpiritualSalvation

It is the salvation of your spirit after you die, a salvation by grace not by works. It allows you one-time passage to the realm called Paradise, ruled by Lord Jesus Christ, but only upon your death. While you are alive Satan is free to control you, since you are his child (Jn 8:44) from the Fall. Spiritual Salvation only protects you by the degree of your faith (Mt 14:31). It is an individual salvation and does not include your family, tribe or nation. Each has to receive Jesus personally before dying. Therefore, the marriage vows of Christians say, "until death do us part". Spiritual Salvation is activated by faith in Lord Jesus Christ as "the Only Begotten Son of God", it is by the grace of God's Love through His Son. But be careful, do not think you can mock God by pretending to be faithful. Your Spirit man records everything hidden, so upon death the truth of your faith is shown. Your entry to paradise requires absolute faith, followed by absolute love and obedience to the Gospel as the words of God, but it is not for me to judge only the Lord. If you do not truly accept Christ while in the flesh, you die as Satan's child; thus, in the spiritual world your spirit will reside outside of Paradise!

Note, Spiritual Salvation cannot kickout Satan from your lineage, without extreme absolute faith in Lord Jesus Christ as the Messiah, for this reason Lord Jesus promised to return again in John 16:1-16. While on earth the first time no one passed the test of Absolute faith, love and obedience to the Christ! For this reason Lord Jesus could not implement the prophesy of Isaiah 9:6-7, instead He took the way of the Cross as in Isaiah 53. Since the death of Lord Jesus no human being has been able to exhibit such extreme faith, simply because all humankind have a blood relationship with Satan (he is our False Father and we seek to do his will) as a result of the spiritual sexual intercourse between Lucifer the Serpent and Eve. Thus Satan will use all his wisdom and power to keep us in the dark about the true mission of the Messiah.

This spiritual relationship between human beings and the Devil was substantiated when Eve seduced Adam, this was why they started their family outside of the Garden of Eden. Together both Adam and Eve lost the spiritual link with their heavenly Parents (they Died to God), who use to visit them in the Garden of Eden before the fall. The fallen act of love also caused us to lose our spiritual senses and thus, the Garden of Eden. We became what some call "Earth Bond", seeing and recognizing only things of this physical universe. We lost touch with the Spiritual Universe. With time Satan dominated human society completely from within our hearts and minds. This also allowed him to  live off our spiritual essence as his life elements ( read Gen 3:14)..

So, in our present fallen state we are incapable of restoring God’s Ideal on Earth. First, our ignorance of Heavenly Parent’s existence puts us at a disadvantage regarding our own liberation. How can you liberate yourselves from the power of darkness without True Light and True Love? Lord Jesus, who was the True Light, came to liberate us, but in ignorance we KILLED HIM! Today He has returned as Lord Moon with thew ideal of True Love, and with the same ignorance, a majority of Christians ignored Him while the churches are packed crying out to Lord Jesus for salvation! What irony.

Luckily for humankind a few faithful Christians have recognized Father and Mother Moon as the True Image of Heavenly Parents on Earth. In the next section, let us see how those few 144,000 as the first fruit of True Parent’s love will work to transition the Spiritual Salvation (SS) of Lord Jesus Christ into the Physical salvation (PS) of humankind.


#PhysicalSalvation

Physical salvation refers to the salvation of your spirit while living on earth [5] via the redemption of your physical body through "the Holy Marriage Blessing of True Parents" and a process called "Restoration by Indemnity". It can only be done with the presence of God our Heavenly Parents on earth through their earthy tabernacle. This was prophesied to happen in Rev 21:1-5.  In Rom  8:11-17 St Paul explained what is required for physical salvation:

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in youTherefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father… The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Rom 8:11-17 

Regrettably while Lord Jesus was on earth no one agreed to suffer with him. Everyone abandoned Him except for the thief on His right-hand side. This simply thief became the first citizen of Paradise.Imagine if Israel as Church and State had accepted Lord Jesus Christ as "the Only Begotten Son of God" do you think He would still have gone to the Cross? Definitely not! He would have stage the long awaited "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" (Mt 22:1-14; Rev 19:7-9) rising eventually with His Bride to the position of King and Queen of Israel, and by His divine wisdom (greater then Solomon) Lord Jesus would have become the next Roman Emperor ushering into to being, God's Kingdom on Earth (Mt 6: 9-10).

 Physical Salvation is a family level salvation serving as a base for the Salvation of your whole Tribe even your Nation. Thus, it requires four new marriage VOWS linked to True Love, True Life and preserving a True Lineage for eternity as True Children of True Parents and Heavenly Parents.

VI.Summary & Conclusion:

So now you have come to understand why Spiritual Salvation through the Cross is inadequate in resolving the problems of Global Peace and Development. For this we need Physical Salvation. But as human beings we have a blood relationship with an invisible being called the Devil who controls our daily lives from behind the scene of human history. Because of certain reasons beyond the scope of this article our Heavenly Parents, who is also an invisible being, have been technically imprisoned by the Devil. Not literally, but by the fact that He loves us and cannot separate us from Satan by force destroying all of us. Satan is using us as a shield to protect his own existence. 

God's long-term strategy has been to send the Messiah (His two Olive Trees...Rev 11:4) as His physical representative to judge Satan, deal with our blood relationship problem and build God's Kingdom on Earth.But the Messiah can do nothing for us without absolute faith, love, obedience and wisdom from those He comes to save. Adam and Eve should have been the first Messiah's of their race but Satan lied to them and took the God Position. Next Lord Jesus was sent to a chosen people but they crucified Him and blamed it on God's Will. Today Father and Mother Moon are the third attempt by Heaven to send the Messiah. Already True Father has ascended while True Mother, though still with us has to deal with our continued spiritual immaturity. 

With pain in my heart and as one of the eldest Blessed Couple in Africa I again have to repent to True Parents for our collective ignorance as Christians who profess to be born again. For if we were truly born again we would be able to recognize our True Parents. Lets pray that those of us who have recognized and accepted our True Parents, can make a difference for the many. For Liberia my family and I through the truelovefamilyfoundation.org will continue taking responsibility to wake up this nation as a Nation of Destiny for Africa. 

Representing the Spirit of Lord Jesus Christ as God the Son I will continue to speak out like a sign board pointing the way to God's Kingdom on Earth, a Kingdom which was established Jan 1, 0001 by Lunar calendar in 2013. A kingdom whose name is Cheon-Il-Guk. Today is December 9th 0007. Please accept this Peace Message as my Christmas Peace Message for Cheon-Il-Guk year 0007. Love you all forever... 

 



[1] Note the words of John 1:1 “In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the WORD was GOD”. Scientific Godism introduces the WORD as the LOGOS. It is the original form of Everything and the source of all reality. It is the proverbial Garden of Eden which was created whole in the image of man; who in turn was created whole Male and Female in the image of God.
[2] I Cor 15:45
[3] From I Cor 3:16 we learn that human beings are meant to be the temple of God on earth
[4] The definition of destiny has to do with the expected outcome of a higher power. A review of Liberia’s history validates the claim of the author that this nation was destined to become one of the first Nations in Africa to accept Heavenly Governance under the authority of True Parents as the King and Queen of Comic Peace on earth with good will to everyone. This is the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer in Lk 11:2-4. It talks about God’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven based on our deliverance from EVIL.
[5] The Divine Principle introduces three levels of spiritual maturity: Form Spirit, Life Spirit and Divine Spirit.  Each level is nurtured by God's life energy called Spirit (as in God's Love as heat and warmth) and Truth (as in God's wisdom as light). The Truth refers to God's words. During the Old Testament Age (OTA) this was called "The Law' given by Moses. During the New Testament Age (NTA) it was called "The Gospel" given by Lord Jesus and His disciples. During the recently ended Completed Testament Age (CTA) God's final Truth has been revealed starting with "Divine Principle" and the teachings of True Parents. Beside the truth our spirits need to be nurtured by God's Spiritual presence as our True Parents. But historically this has not been possible until now. During the OTA God's presence was symbolically represented as the Tabernacle centered on Moses as the mouth piece of God. The two Tablets symbolizing Lord Jesus Christ and His Bride the Holy Spirit foreshadowed the physical coming of Jesus with His Bride. In the NTA  Lord Jesus and His Bride would have represented God as our True Parents but by Lord Jesus premature death by the Cross humankind could only achieve the level of "Life Spirit qualifying them to live in Paradise with Lord Jesus and the Holy Ghost. It is only in our generation centered on the victorious presence of True Parents on Earth that human beings are blessed to achieve the level of Divine Spirits. A Divine Spirit  lives naturally in oneness with God 24/7..
