The Importance of Universal Standards as Unchanging Constant of Reality

I thought of you when I read this quote from "Cheon Seong Gyeong: The Holy Scripture of Cheon Il Guk" by Sun Myung Moon, Hak Ja Han Moon, The Committee for the Compilation of True Parents' Teachings -

"The standard that all the world’s people can affirm as correct, the standard that can gain public approval, needs to be a standard that no one can change. World peace can blossom through the adoption of that standard. Based on that, a good individual, a good family, a good tribe, a good people, a good nation and a good world can begin. No matter how good a nation may be, it will break apart if it cannot adjust to this global standard and direction. Therefore, the issues we need to deal with are ideologies and ways of thought (Conceptions of Nature as in natural laws and the Creator's will). These issues include our views of the universe, the world, human life and ways of living, and the character of the new world."

For true peace to exist we need Universal Constants (UC) as Universal Standards of Judgement (SOJ). This may help to explain why science observes UC (universal constants) in nature all the time. For example the speed of light (3x10^8 meters per sec) the fine structure constant (1/137), Einstein's lambda as a universal constant linked to expanding Spacetime, etc. Because of these universal constants the Laws of Heaven are preserved, and with them we have a sustainable universe.


According to Scientific Godism these and other constants of nature are symbolic expressions of man's Cosmic internal unchanging nature, expressed as "the WORD" in John 1:1-5,14. We are told in the bible that everything in the Cosmic was made through this WORD, meaning Heavenly Parents symbolically expressed in our environment certain attributes to remind us of who we are and our Divine Responsibility as children of the Light of God (the first monotheistic religion in Africa was centered on the SUN As GOD). This I believe is evidence of the Anthropic Principle of nature.

All of human suffering today can be shown as the direct consequence of our inability to fulfill our original God given human responsibility as Lords of Creation, expressed in the bible as Gen 1:28. Today in this 21st century of human development the bulk of humankind do not even recognize the existence of God as our Heavenly Parents, thought the clues are everywhere spiritually (as in Religion) and physically (as in Science). I believe this failure is the result of a dysfunctional development partnership between Religion (representing our minds and thoughts) and Science (representing our body and actions) over the Ages of human history. This dysfunctional development is the direct consequence of our ignorance of Heavenly Parents our creators. To eliminate this ignorance once and for all, thus allowing humankind to walk together into a renewed Garden of Eden on Earth, Heavenly Parents have finally manifested themselves in the flesh as the "True Parents of Heaven Earth and Humankind".

This manifestation was prophesied by Lord Jesus Christ 2000 years ago as Rev 21: 1-5:

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [True Parents as the Two Witnesses of Rev 11:3,4] 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. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."

As we strive to celebrate another Easter 2021 in the aftermath of this Global Lockdown instigated by a mare virus, allow me once again introduce you to Rev Dr Sun Myung Moon and His Bride H.E. Dr Hak-ja Han Moon as the Anointed True Parents of Heaven Earth and humankind.

As my late mother use to say: "you can drag a horse to the river but you cannot make him drink". As we collectively live through this year 2021, know for sure that Heaven has guided human history behind the scene to the River of Life symbolized as the Age of Aquarius in Rev 22:1-5. However whether or not we collectively drink freely from these four rivers is an Individual choice. May God Bless all of you who read this, as we enter the transition to another year of human history 2021. Love you all forever...

My Christmas Peace Message to Liberia 2019

By:  Amb. Rev Gerald B. Coleman

Co-founder of  True Love Family Foundation Inc

Sr Peace Ambassador of Universal Peace Federation

"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 2^nd 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 you…Therefore, 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..

My Christmas Day Peace Message to Liberia, 2018

By: Amb.  Rev Gerald B. Coleman

Co-Founder True Love Family Foundation for Peace & Development in Africa

Sr. Peace Ambassador, Universal Peace Federation of Liberia

HDH; Exposition of Divine Principle page 159:

“The purpose of God’s providence of restoration is to restore completely the fallen world to the original world which God intended. Therefore, although the time of their salvation may differ, all fallen people are predestined to be saved (II Peter 3:9). Yet, as was the case with God’s creation, His providence of salvation-a work of recreation-cannot be completed in an instead. It begins from one point and gradually expands to cover the whole. Therefore, in the providence of salvation, God first predestines one person to be the central figure and then calls him to a mission.”

Bible Reading: Rom 8:30: 

“Those whom He predestined He also called; and those whom He called He also justified; and those whom He justified He also glorified”

I.                    Introduction:

To my fellow Liberians, allow me to extend warm greetings and love to all of you, and your families as we celebrate another Christmas here in Monrovia- the original homeland of Christopolis or the “City of God”. My peace message this year has to do with our national purpose. We all know Liberia to be the first and thus oldest independent nation in post-modern Africa built on Christian Principles. But as we celebrate Christmas this year 2018 it is imperative that we understand why our nation was chosen by Lord Jesus Christ to be “ the Nation of Destiny for Africa” and what that destiny is…Let us prayer (Mt 6:9-13):

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. Amen”

II.                  Why is Liberia a Chosen Nation of Destiny for Africa:

Rom 9:15-16: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion” So it depends not upon man’s will or exertion, but upon God’s mercy”

The founding of Liberia was a calling from Heaven. We have done nothing to earn such a calling. Our ancestors as free slaves from America were guided here by Lord Jesus (Heaven) and the Holy Spirit (Earth) in two waves[1], to pioneer the founding a nation of destiny for Africa. They were to be the new chosen people, like the Israelites, but for Africa. Their mission was to build a new city of God[2] in the darkness of Africa, centered on the gospel, in preparation for the second coming of Christ.  For their mission to be a success, a foundation had to be made for them to receive Lord Jesus in His 2^nd Coming.

According to the principles of restoration outlined in the Bible, the successful foundation for the Messiah was to be laid through the unity of two brothers: Cain as the eldest son representing Indigenous Africans and Abel as the younger son representing Christianized Africans. Their unity had to be stimulated by their common mother. In this case, the mother of both brothers was the soil of Africa, and her name became Liberty-In- Africa or Liberia.

The first pioneers served as the new prophetic Abel-tribe for Africa. They proclaimed Liberia’s 1st Republic as a nation of destiny for Africa in 1847. By 1857 they united with their Cain brothers’ of the Maryland Colonization Society, so the American State of Maryland becoming Maryland County under the Republic of Liberia.  The John the Baptist prophet chosen by heaven to awaken the indigenous people of the Kwa-tribes as restored Cain (Children of God) in readiness for the Coming of Christ was Prophet William Wade Harris of Maryland County. His ministry lasted from 1910 to 1929 starting with his anointment in prison by the Angel Gabriel[3].

This period from 1910 to 1929 was very special for global Christianity. It represented the period prophesied in the Bible as the time for the 2^nd Coming of Christ on earth[4]. Prophet Harris’ vision came at this time of final preparation with the goal of Africa (through Liberia) serving as a linkage to the Lord’s global ministry. So in this way, Liberia was chosen by heaven to serve as an elder brother for Africa’s Unity with the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven as a Bride Nation of God.  The Lord was born in 1920 in Korea. He began His public ministry in 1954 under the umbrella of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HWS-UWC) after being anointed by Lord Jesus Christ himself in 1936.

III.                What is Our Responsibility as a Nation of Destiny for Africa:

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he hath sent. They said therefore unto him, what sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee?” John 6:28-30

In Liberia, heaven’s plan was to prepare Liberia as a seed nation of destiny for Africa by working through the unity of church and state. The role of the church was to serve as the mind and heart of our nation by educating and raising all citizens as children of God possessing good character and values, but most important as children capable of recognizing their True Parents as God. The role of the State was to serve as the body or home environment exhibiting Good Governance with Freedom, Liberty and Justice for All citizens as God's children. On this unified foundation of church and state working together centered on God’s will, heaven sort to build an everlasting kingdom on earth through the returning of Lord Jesus and His Bride as the living tabernacle of God on earth, and as the True Parents of heaven, earth and humankind. Thus the final prophesies in the book of Rev 21:1-4 talks about the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven:

   “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea. And I john saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 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. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.” Rev 21:1 to 4

Here in Africa, Liberia was chosen by heaven to be a central nation for Africa’s unity as the New United States of Africa (USA) a Heavenly Africa, under the new kingship of God on earth. The True Whig Party (1869 to 1980) was the political party responsible to spearhead the process of good governance growing and developing in Liberia; while the various churches and spiritual institutions had the role of education and preparation of values and character. Yet after 111 years of social-political dominance of the TWP and the churches, they collectively failed to fulfill their destiny to unite Liberia as one nation under God with Liberty and Justice for All. 

So during the Easter season of 1980, representing 133 years of spiritual protection under the banner of Christianity, we saw the fall of the 1^st Republic of Liberia and the death of William R. Tolbert as the John the Baptist figure or Head of State. This whole scenario can be compared to John the Baptist in the Bible, losing his head just prior to the crucifixion of Lord Jesus Christ on his 33^rd birthday. It can be shown that the failure of Israel and John the Baptist to receive Lord Jesus as the Messiah was the root cause of Lord Jesus’ crucifixion and the rise of Satan’s Evil Dominion on Earth represented as global Communism linked to World War I, II and III. From the 1950s to 1990s the Lord had to battle Satan and his Antichrist with global Communism before he could establish God's Kingship on earth in the 21st century.  

The Rise of the Second Republic of Liberia (1980 to 1990) was to be a clear sign of preparation for the second coming of Christ worldwide, for those with eyes to see. For just as after the fall of Adam and Eve, when Satan took dominion over the earth, becoming the God of this world (II Cor 4:4); we saw the rise of a Dominion of Evil (D.O.E) in Liberia’s second republic headed by President Samuel K. Doe. Regrettably, so few had such eyes to see and hearts to understand the signs of that time. Instead, the tragedy of our civil wars left us all victims of evil governance evident by rampant corruption, disease, ignorance, and widespread poverty. Even the work of the TRC fell on deaf ears. As the Lord’s global ministry expanded as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) International, its roots were also planted here in Liberia as a base for a new beginning.

IV.                 Our Collective Responsibility and Second Chance to Receive God’s Blessing by 2020:

In the 1920s Prophet William Harris gave us a prophecy concerning Liberia’s future destiny for Africa. Our historians refer to it as the D. Twe Prophecy because it was said to be spoken to President Tubman by D. Twe during the 1951 elections.  D Twe sort to contest the elections in 1951 but was somehow disqualified from running. Later he escaped to Sierra Leone. He gave this prophecy to Tubman before leaving. In summary, it stated the following:

“ …Tubman, you will fall, and a man from the east will rise. He will rule with an iron hand but if he tries to go beyond ten, he too will fall and Liberia will see the worst days of its history. But after that, by the third leader, God will choose someone with His own heart and Liberia will see the Golden Age of its destiny”.

This prophecy spoken in the 1950’s has come true to the letter. Tubman fell in the 1970’s with Tolbert taking over as Liberia’s 20^th President in 1975. This ended the reign of the First Republic of Liberia prior to the rise of the “Man from the East”.  Through the life of Samuel K. Doe as Liberia’s 21^st President, we can clearly see how he fulfilled this prophecy of "the man from the east". He ruled from 1980 to 1990, exactly ten years. From 1990 to 1997 we saw the seven years of political chaos with the elections of 1997 bring Charles Taylor to power as the first of three possible Presidential periods destined to usher in the Golden Days of our national destiny.

Clearly, Charles Taylor didn’t exhibit the “Heart of God” in his leadership style; instead, he resembled the heart of selfishness practiced by Lucifer Himself.  As our second candidate, we elected H.E. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as the 23^rd elected President of Liberia. She was given 12 years to exhibit the “Heart of God” in her leadership style, but clearly, since we have not seen our Golden Age of Destiny we can only conclude that she too failed heaven’s expectation. Of course, the world saw her as a great success endowing her with its highest honors[5] both on the world level and in Africa.  This goes to show that man’s expectations are far different from those of Heaven.

 In December of 2017, we the people of Liberia elected H.E. George Weah as our 24^th President. According to this prophecy, he is the final choice heaven will give us to fulfill our collective responsibility in establishing God’s good governance here in Liberia as a Nation of Destiny for Africa. In 2013 The Lord of the second coming established the New Jerusalem here on Earth prior to His ascension in 2012.  It is called Cheon Il-Guk in Korean and is now governed by His Wife H.E. Hak-Ja Han Moon.. All we have to do as a nation is to connect to that kingdom by committing ourselves to the practice of righteousness in governance. This is the meaning of having the “Heart of God”.  

So my Christmas message to Liberia this 2018 is an appeal for all our leaders, both from the religious communities and the State, to receive the Blessing of Heaven being offered to all humankind by the Lord of the Second Coming as the True Parents of heaven earth and humankind.  As the eldest Coupe in Liberia to have received this blessing I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the education and training provided by this Blessing of Heaven will usher any nation into its Golden Age of Destiny beyond 2020. Love you all forever… Merry Christmas an a Happy New Year.

There is much controversy regarding the true motivation of the ACS but for the purpose of this message, I refer to the first wave as Abel-type with the second wave being Cain-type.

My Reflection on True Parents Words Sept 1 2018

  "Among all the good things on this  Earth  there is nothing more precious than connecting to Your original 💓. Knowing this we must infinitely long for that relationship. We must keep in mind that those who experience Your love will have no  regrets even if they forget about all the things of this world"p.9 TF Gatewaay to Heaven, RSMM.

"We must prepare today on Earth for the day of our birthday as liberated children endowed with the authority of  freedom of our third life". p. 10 TF Gateway to Heaven, RSMM

Reflection on True Parents words:

Today a new month begins and I have resolved to restart my daily HDH. Thank you TP. This being the 9th month brings to mind the value of 10 as the "Back to God" number and Your words have rekindled in my heart the deep value and responsibility  of Awakening to the realization of who we really are "Children of God". 

I am so deeply grateful to you Heavenly Parents for Your loving heart that could connect to me and my lineage here in Africa after the wrong we have committed against your will and heart. I am so deeply grateful to True Parents who have served as Your channel to Awakening us all, though like our Lord Jesus, many of us rejected them and even today continue to misunderstand their inner motivation for things they have done. Forgive us True Parents. Forgive us Heavenly Parents. All our True Self wants after Awakening to your love is to eternally make you proud by living up to the standard of being True Children. We love you forever...

My Peace Message on Liberia's 171st Independence Day

Title: My challenge to all progressives, revolutionary fighters and militants on this our 171st birth anniversary as a Nation of Destiny for Africa.

By: Amb Rev Gerald B. Coleman, Sr. Peace Ambassador
      True Love Family Foundation, Universal peace Federation of Liberia

Data: July 26, 2018

1. Introduction:

To my fellow Liberians let me start by saying Happy Independence Day 2018. Today we celebrate our 171st independence day as a nation built on Christian principles but resurrected in 1986 as a secular state, still in love with God.

As we move forward towards 2020 let us reflect on our destiny. We carry the name LIBERIA which can be interpreted to mean LIBER ...I...A . The "liber" is Latin for "freedom" while the "I" can stand for IN and the "A" can stand for AFRICA. In principle our name means "freedom in Africa". The pioneers who founded this nation were free slaves from America. Though the purpose behind their freedom is multifaceted, their dream was singular: "Freedom, Liberty and Justice for all". Yet today those of us alive to celebrate this 171st birthday of Mother Liberia do so on the foundation of much bloodshed and pain in search of true freedom. Why has it been so difficult for us to build a nation we all want...a nation of freedom, liberty and justice for all? The answer is simple: "Evil is crouching at our doors, its desire is to dominate us, but we must overcame it" Gen 4:6-7.

2. Liberia: A Nation of Destiny for Africa:

After history brought our African ancestors to the shores of West Africa in search of peace (freedom, liberty and justice for all), a group of Africans were again sole into a new captivity (slavery) by their brothers for economic gain. By the grace of Lord Jesus Christ, the Liberian of the transatlantic slave trade were sent back to Africa with "THE DESTINY" for Africa. They landed on a small island called "Providence Island". They proclaimed themselves a free nation of destiny for Africa in Gods house (providence Baptist church), and begin the greatest quest known to "people of color" descend, that quest was to build Gods kingdom on earth. That is our unfulfilled destiny for Africa.

3. The Bases of my challenge:

By 1980, representing 133 years since our independence from captivity in America we saw another providential event of CAIN killing ABEL represented by the death of our 20th President William R. Tolbert (Abel) at the hands of  Samuel K. Doe (Cain). This singular event ended the 1st Republic of Liberia, and in 1986 we saw the rise of the 2nd Republic of Liberia as a secular state still in love with God, but ruled by a Dominion of Evil (D.O.E).

In the 1920's Prophet William Harris had foretold our destiny prior to the second coming of Christ. His prophesy was meant to turn us away from evil to the love and service of God; however his words were not accepted by both sides, the ruling elites and the indigenous masses. By 1980 our only hope for true liberation was THE GUN. We saw the rise of violence as a tool for reconciling our difference. As we crossed the 21st century with the global rise of Gods Kingdom on Earth centered on the spiritual work of True Parents (Rev Dr. & Mrs Sun Myung Moon), Liberia  was proclaimed a FAILED-STATE. We had failed at using violence as a tool for freedom , liberty and justice for all. We had also failed our destiny.

Yet recently during this historic period of "New Hope" under the leadership of a great Liberian, who was democratically elected as our 24th President, we are hearing rumors of unjust violence in our mist, linked to press freedom, transparency and accountability. Why? Have we not learned our lessons. Are we not low and poor enough? Must we always have foreign intervention to resolve our differences? Can we not recognize failed leadership and endure a legal process of change until we can find a God centered righteous leader?

4. My Challenge to all revolutionary fighters, former warlords, the progressive elders and youth:

a. You are fighting an endless, useless battle using violence and brute force. Thus you need to change your strategy.
b. First decide clearly on what it is you want to achieve and make it public. In this way all peace loving Liberians will rise to your defense.
c. If you are not satisfied with the current political climate, under our democracy you are entitled to create a political party centered on a clear platform with clear objectives, activities and deliverables and seek the necessary membership.
d. At the next election 2023 present your platform to the people.  If you win, actionize your plan in harmony with the rule of law, in a transparent way and hopefully we will see your deliverables as blessings for our nation. If you fail to do this collectively, then another election term will give someone else a chance, but history will have recorded your good efforts as failure.
e.  The Key point is "No Violence! !!".  Why? Because violence takes away from the rights of the innocent others and leaves you who chose that path (and the nation as a whole) with much indemnity to paid, weather you win or lose. Liberia today is a key example. We choose violence in the 1979 rice riot and have paid 27 years (1979 to election2006) of indemnity. Who amongst you beside the beneficiary of violence can say with a clean conscious: YES it was worth it?
f. President Weah and party were voted into power freely and fairly. We the people have to endure whatever they give us because they have our collective sovereign power. If we feel they are off course then our only legal means is not violence, but to use our judicial and legislative power; with the hope that next time election2023, we will make a better choice. Democracy is a temporary form of governance pending the establishment and understanding of gods Kingship on Earth.
g. If both judicial and legislative means fail, then "we the people" can partition for impeachment of the ruling party instead of taking up GUNS.
h. Of course all of these process assume we are "children of God". Since only such children, as Blessed Peacemakers, are law abiding. Violence is the strategy of Satan's children, and we have all seen the results of that strategy. Satan's children care nothing about the rights of others and are only concerned about themselves. They rape women, destroy the future of our youth and kill without conscious, all for their self purpose. This is why I define S.I.N. as Selfish Individual Nature. Those who use violence to deal with such SINNERS are no different from Satan's children. They are also unrepenting sinners and care nothing about Liberia as a nation of destiny for Africa. Of course for our current youth (SUP) I call it ignorance and frustration.

As we celebrate this 171st independence day let us remember: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be call the children of God. Join us and lets build a New Liberia as a Nation of Destiny for Africa. Love you all forever...
