How- ever, the world we live in today has reached a point where the United Nations, as it currently exists, can- not successfully address this enormous challenge. Likewise, although the United States has emerged as the world's lone superpower, it does not have the capacity to deal with the crises that we confront today. We must conclude that political, economic, and military power, by themselves, cannot meet the critical challenges of the day. Today I would like to take this precious opportu- nity to speak on the topic " The New Elimination of Boundaries and World Peace" and convey to you Heaven's message for this age. Truly, this is a joy- ful, historic, and providential declaration before the hundreds of billions of human beings now living on earth and in the spirit world. Today, on every level, boundaries cause division and conflict. If we can eliminate all the boundaries in this world, a world of peace would inevitably come about. We must recognize who owns those bound- aries. Clearly, it is not God. It was the devil, Satan, who first created boundaries. are sure to become a key player in bringing about a Wherever a boundary exists, world of peace.

If I left the potential couple’s pictures on the table it would work. If I threw the pictures away the marriage wouldn’t work. Some tried and it failed. (Mother had to leave). Why is Mother going.

Unlike in Washington D.C., there were few, if any negative newspaper articles in the days preceding the Blessing or afterwards. Even the NYPD expressed appreciation for the movement’s “good organ- ization in unloading and loading 520 buses.” Amid all the good feeling, there were a couple of dis- sonant notes. One of these was the tendency to high- light distinctions between godly and ungodly forces in society. This was especially apparent in the Pro-Family Rally. It was also evident in depictions of Madison Square Garden as an “ark of salvation” within a largely repro- bate city. The fact that there was a torrential downpour and savage thunderstorm going on outside during the event accentuated participants’ sense of being among the elect. Rev. Joong Hyun Pak credited “God with the weather” and cited someone who said, “Inside MSG was Noah’s Ark, outside was judgment!” However, it was Dr. Tyler Hendricks, President of the Unification Church in America, who worked the ark imagery into an extended reflection and who drew the clearest, or at least the most stark distinction between fucius, Buddha, Mohammed, Mary, Adam, Noah, Abra- ing the period when the providence of restoration is to those who responded and didn’t respond to Blessing ’98. ham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, John be completed after the Second Coming of Christ, God In a section entitled “Where Were You on June 13?” with- the Baptist, Socrates, Swedenborg, Sundar Singh, Syn- will complete the cosmic foundation for the Messiah by in his regular “UViews” monthly column, he criticized gman Rhee, Hwal Ahn Kim, Park Chung Hee, Dwight D. working throughout heaven and earth based on the Com- New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the Dalai Lama, both Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Nobusuke Kishi, Takeo Fuku- pleted Testament Word.” of whom were invited but declined due to schedule con- da, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse According to Richard Lewis, Unification News editor, flicts, the mayor to join a gay pride parade in Brooklyn, Tung, Kim Il Sung, Adolph Hitler, Hideki Tojo, and Ben- this indicated that “from the 1950s, it was clear that the Dalai Lama to preside over a two-day Tibetan ben- ito Mussolini.” Reverend Moon’s work would ultimately relate directly efit rock concert, ironically enough, at RFK Stadium, Rev.
