Messages of Jesus, Paul and Rev. Moon

Paul gave certain degree of pragmatic guidance on sexual matters to those married and unmarried. He encouraged some to chastity, and others to marry (1Cor.7:5-9). In his great zeal to evangelize people for Christ, he encouraged believers to practice flexible strategic maneuverings to witness and attract the many of varying ethnicity and status (1Cor.9:19-23).

Paul’s views on many issues such as circumcision, women’s issues, the Law, slavery, and others, brought him no little contention with fellow disciples. Many truly wanted to oust him. In the eyes of some, his convoluting logical extenuations on the Law cause many to hold him in suspect. Even Peter had to search himself deeply to find heart to fully reconcile with him.

Beyond what may be considered negatives about Paul, he displayed a genuine heart of dedication toward God and Christ. He drew from his experiences of many trials, tribulations and life-risking encounters to spread the message that “we are justified by faith in the redemption brought by Jesus.” (Rom.3:24). Though Paul himself was not the Messiah, he gave his testimony extensively, telling others to: “Follow me as I follow Christ.” (1Cor.11:1). In this sense, he set himself up as one who had traversed the precarious path from the world of death to the one of life in Christ (Mt.7:14).

There is no doubt that Jesus had a superior understanding and insight above all into the providential workings of God: His principles, standard and methods. Afterall, he came as the Messiah. When he spoke of the “Coming of the Son of Man” as it related to the Second Coming (Lk.17:24-37; 21:36; 18:8), he did so, knowing God’s principle of mission succession of an ascended spirit person passed to a physical person. (e.g., Ezk.37:24,25 and Mt.11:14; 17:10-11). In the spirit of this principle, Jesus showed John that “the one who overcomes, as he overcame, would received his (Jesus’) name, mission and authority”.(Rev.3:12; 2:26-28). He later showed him (John) the birth of this new messianic personality (12:5).

Kim Il Sung
(former leader of communist North Korea)

Kim Il Sung (continued) (Former leader of communist North Korea) “I really did not know that my sins were so great. Nobody welcomes me anywhere. Could you please save me?” he begged. I had to give him God’s words. I went inside the doors, it was like the open space of a jail. All the people who were there rose and asked me, “Who are you? How could you come in here so imposingly?” I told them that I am a messenger from God and requested a little bit of time to talk.

“All right. We have plenty of time. Give a speech.” They said. I explained to them that God is the central person of love, and after that gave a lecture about the dual characteristics of God. I also appealed to them with tears for about 40 minutes that they should live for the sake of others, love and help each other, and forgive each other’s faults. They must endure and wait until the day of liberation of hell.

After that, I told Kim Il Sung to lie down for treatment of his wounds. People around us started to help. The atmosphere began to change, becoming calm. I asked to come again to give more lectures. Some agreed and others did not want to be bothered. Kim Il Sung sat down anxiously. He could not lift his head, and could not look at me when I was leaving.

On my way back, I thought; earthly life is so short. Who can know about this kind of fact? Earthly people cannot see the Spirit World. This kind of punishment of Hell. What a poor life!
