But there is no clear understanding concerning

details of the Second Advent.

When? How? Where?

Jesus clearly foretold his return.

Mt 16:27

“For the Son of man is to come with his angels

in the glory of his Father...”

When Will Christ Return?

Section 1

Rev 3:3

“ ‘...If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and

you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.’ ”

Is it possible to know when?

Mt 24:36

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the

angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”

Therefore, it has been commonly thought unwise to speculate about the date, place and manner of the Second Advent.

1 Thess 5:4

But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to

surprise you like a thief.

However,

Therefore, God will certainly give prophecies

to those faithful believers who are in the light.

Amos 3:7

“...the Lord God does nothing, without revealing his

secret...”

Mt 24:36

“...no one knows, ...but the Father only.”

e.g.,

Noah

3) Jesus’ birth

10:30 P.M on November 14, 1915, was witnessed by

French, German, Russian, Italian and British troops.

A Spiritual manifestation that, still in spite of the tremendous

human suffering in 1st World war; there was a result

of that suffering – indemnity => the Birth of Christ!

In interpreting the Bible, the most important matter is

to find the right perspective.

many divergent interpretations

the churches have become divided.

A. Perspectives on the Bible

God used parables and symbols in the Bible

(Jn 16:25)

2) The return of Elijah

2 Kings 2:11

… Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

1) The mission of John the Baptist

Many Jewish people believed that Elijah

would descend from heaven (2 Kings 2:11),

Most Christians read the Bible with the

preconception that J/B completed his given

mission, but in fact he did not.

Elijah

2) The return of Elijah

2 Kings 2:11

… Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

1) The mission of John the Baptist

Many Jewish people believed that Elijah

would descend from heaven (2 Kings 2:11),

Most Christians read the Bible with the

preconception that J/B completed his given

mission, but in fact he did not.

but he was born on earth as J/B.

3) The First Coming of Jesus

Two kinds of prophecy:

Dan 7:13 the Messiah would come on the clouds

Mic 5:2 the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem

Which did the Israelites believe?

Knowing the influence of the two prophets Daniel

and Micah on the Israelites, we can assume that they

were waiting for the Messiah to come on the clouds...

2 Jn 7 – John condemned some heterodox

Christians who believed that Jesus had not

come in a body of flesh.

...but Jesus was born in the flesh.

B. The Return of Christ by His Birth

in the Flesh – Lord of the Second Advent

Bible Indications of the Birth of the LSA in the Flesh

1) Lk 17:25

“But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by

this generation.”

2) Lk 18:8

“...when the Son of man comes, will he find faith

on earth?”

3) Lk 17:20

... “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs

to be observed.”

4) Mt 7:22,23

“On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we

not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in

your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you;

depart from me, you evildoers.’ ”

5) Rev 12:5

She brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the

nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to

God and to his throne.

Two Traditional Interpretations Concerning the Second

Advent of Christ

Jesus often met John in spirit, yet Jesus told him,

“Surely I am coming soon” (Rev 22:20).

If so, the Second Advent can happen at any

moment and more than once.

2) The Second Advent = the return of Jesus

as a spirit person

If so, the Second Advent already took place

2,000 years ago.

1) The Second Advent takes place when Jesus comes to

dwell within the hearts of people

through the descent of the Holy Spirit.

The LSA, as the lord of the cosmos, dominating

the two worlds, must be born in the flesh.

physical self

spirit self

Human beings

dominate the spirit world

dominate the physical world

(the Fall)

lost dominion Both worlds!

The Principled Reasons for the Birth of the LSA

in the Flesh

1) Lord of the cosmos

2) Restoration of the Heavenly Kingdom on earth

the LSA, with the same purpose,

must be born in the flesh.

3) From the viewpoint of redemption

Jesus only spiritual salvation

LSA - - - - both spiritual and physical salvation

must be born in the flesh.

Jesus came as the True Parent of humankind

and the king of the Heavenly Kingdom on earth

C. The Meaning of Coming on the Clouds (Mt 24:30)

purify

devout Christians,

the multitudes (Heb 12:1) clouds

waters

evaporate

fallen people (Rev 17:15)

17 april 1935

Transfer of Mission as Lord of the Second Advent

Messiah - Christ

1974 – Madison Square Garden N.Y.

The Lord of Second Advent

will emerge from among a group

of reborn believers as the leader of Christians,

the Second Israel.

Lk 17:37; implying that Jesus will return to the

place where faithful believers gather

D. Why Did Jesus Say that the Lord Will

Come on the Clouds?

1) To prevent the delusions of antichrists from

creating confusion among believers

2) To encourage Christians who were walking

a difficult path of faith

Mt 10:23

“When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next;

for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all

the towns of Israel, before the Son of man comes.”

Jesus’ other words of encouragement

Rev 22:20

... “Surely I am coming soon.”...

Mt 16:28

“Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who

will not taste death before they see the Son of man

coming in his kingdom.”

The hope of Jesus’ imminent return inflamed the zeal of

his disciples and gave them the strength to overcome

persecution by Judaism and the Roman Empire.

Encouraged by the ardent hope of the Second Advent,

they were filled with the Holy Spirit and established the

early Christian Church, even amid great adversity.

Where Will Christ Return?

Section 3

A. Will Christ Return among the Jewish

People?

Some Christians expect that Christ will come again

among the Jewish people.

Rev 7:4

And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred

and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe

of the sons of Israel.

However,

householder

vineyard

tenants

servants

son of the householder

• Jesus will come again among the Gentiles.

God’s heritage; qualification as the chosen nation

God

Israel

prophets

Jesus

other tenants who harvest the fruit

other Christian nation which can receive the LSA and accomplish God’s Will

Mt 21:33-43 – the parable of the vineyard:

Therefore I - Jesus - tell you that the kingdom of God will be

taken away from you (Israel) and given to a people (-Korea-)

who will produce its fruit. /Math 21:43

1:st Israel

3:rd Israel

Korea 2:nd Israel Christianity

”Spiritual Land”

Chŏngju

Mt 3:9

“And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have

Abraham as our father’; for I tell you, God is able

from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.”

• The meaning of “Israel”

Rom 2:28,29

For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly…

He is a Jew who is one inwardly…

the people of God who have triumphed through their faith;

this term does not necessarily apply to everyone who

comes out of Jacob’s lineage.

Jn 8:37-40

… They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus

said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you

would do what Abraham did, but now you seek to kill

me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard

from God; this is not what Abraham did.”

Rom 9:6-8

… For not all who are descended from Israel belong to

Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they

are his descendants; …

The chosen people of Israel after Jesus’ death on the

cross are the Christians who inherited the faith of

Abraham.

B. Christ Will Return to an Eastern Nation

Rev 7:2,3

Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of

the sun [from the east – King James Version], with

the seal of the living God…

Mt 24:27

“For as the lightning comes from the east and shines

as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of

man.”

1) A national indemnity period

“40” foundation for separation from Satan

Necessary Conditions of the Nation to which

the Messiah Returns

2) The front line of God and Satan

The front line of that which is most

dear to God and most abhorred by

satan

democracy and communism

conflict with each other

The shape of Korea: special meaning according to the I Ching.

It looks like the archangel blowing a trumpet. Rev 8:6; 1 Thess. 4:16

USA has the role of roman-empire 2000 years ago.

DP: The situations unfolding in Christianity today are

similar to those which took place in Judaism at Jesus' time.

C. The Nation of the East: Korea

From ancient times, “Eastern nations” refers

to Korea, Japan, and China.

Most symbolic Flag in the World; Yin/Yang –

cosmic neg. energy/positive energy = Harmony!

The circle is surrounded by four trigram, one in each corner, from the

ancient Chinese wisdom book I Ching

Confucius and Lao-tse has commented on this important book of wisdom!

Ch'ien, the creative - strong - heaven - Father

K'an, the precipice - dangerous - water - second Son

K'un, the host - sacrificing - earth - Mother

Li, connects - is brilliant - fire - second Daughter

Japan a fascist nation at the period of the

Second Advent

persecuted Korean Christianity

China a hotbed of communism and would

become a communist nation at the period of the Second Advent.

Korea has become qualified to receive Christ

at the Second Advent.

Pyongyang – the Jerusalem of East (in 1930:s)

1. A National Indemnity Period

(1905-1945)

1905 the Ŭlsa Treaty of Protection

1910 annexation of Korea by Japan

cut in two by the 38th parallel.

2) The Korean War (1950-1953)

mobilization of many UN member-nations

a worldwide significance

3. The Object of God’s Heart

1) Korean history over 4,300 years; invaded by

foreign nations more than 930 times.

2) Never themselves invaded other nations

“people in white robes”; white represents God

3) Strong God-revering thought

highly value loyalty, filial piety and chastity e.g., “The Tale of Shim-ch’ŏng,”

“The Tale of Ch’un-hyang”

Reference: Korea and Religion

Korea is the nation through which all

religions will be united.

- Buddhism dominated Korea for about 1,500 years (ca. 100 B.C. ~ 1392).

- Confucianism dominated Korea for about 500 years (1392 ~ 1905).

- Catholicism came to Korea more than 200 years ago (1777).

- Protestantism came to Korea more than 100 years ago (1884).

- Islam came to Korea more than 50 years ago (1950).

4. Prophetic Testimonies among the People

1) Messianic hope

Chŏnggamnok – the king of righteousness,

“Chŏngdoryŏng”

Reference: Excerpts from Kyŏgam Yuirok

“Kyŏgam” (1509-1571) met with a man of God and received

revelations containing precise prophecy covering the 400-

year period of the modern era.

- “Chŏngdoryŏng” will resolve the resentment (“Han”)

of God and Jesus.

- He will be born in northern Korea. After living for a time in

an island nation of the Eastern Sea, he will come over to

the South.

- He will seek the unification of religions.

- He will not be a national-level leader,

but a world-level leader.

- He will give the opportunity for unmarried men and

women who believe in God to be married.

- He will receive the most ridicule and blame

in the world.

- He will receive great blessing (many children)

– this is similar to Sook Jeon Kong of China,

who received the most blessing in the world.

- He will become the ancestor of the people of a

New Nation of Heaven.

- He will surely experience prison life.

- He will harvest the people who build God’s

Kingdom through 12 tribes of 12,000 each

(total 144,000).

- He has the family name “Moon.”

2) Revelations that the founder of every religion

LSA – the second coming of the founder of

every religion with respect to his mission

Buddhism Maitreya Buddha

Confucianism Jin-In (true person)

Ch’ŏndogyo Ch’oe Su-un (its founder)

Chŏnggamnok group Chŏngdoryŏng

The Cause of the Chaotic Profusion of

Languages and the Necessity

for Their Unification

Section 5

The Canaanites, descendants of Noah’s second son, Ham, built the Tower of Babel to exalt themselves even above God, thus furthering the will of Satan.

If human beings had not fallen, we would have formed one global family sharing a common language.

Gen 11:7

“Come, let us go down, and there confuse their

language, that they may not understand one another’s

speech.”

When the descendants of Shem and Japheth, who stood on

God’s side, helped with the construction, God brought

about such confusion in their languages that they could no

longer communicate with each other to further the will of

Satan.

Our languages must be unified if we are to realize the ideal

world of one global family which can honor the LSA as our

True Parent.

Children naturally learn the language of their parents.

All people will naturally come to use the True Parents’

language, the Korean language, as their mother tongue of

faith.

All humanity will become one people using one language,

thus establishing one global nation under God.

Acts in our Age: 1945-2017…

... some people received revelations about Him ...

devout believers found him through guidance from spiritual

world. - 1946

… when they so much as touched the hem of his garments,

they felt as if they floated in the air and could dance out of

pure joy. - 1946

1950, there appeared the face of Jesus in the sky over Korea

and this was a very significant event.

He can project himself in deep meditation and become visible

in the same way that Jesus has been able to project himself

and be seen by the saints.

This is always one of the hallmarks of the Messiah.

do not allow tradition to blind you for a new revelation. - 1965

I saw Jesus walking through the room, he said:

"I am in this place!" Then he disappeared.

A wave of peace descended on me. - 1970

He is dedicated to unite people on earth and their religious

beliefs in harmony and peace. - 1974
