The Words of True Mother Hyun Shil Kang ……. Introduction The letters and sermons contained within this book1 were presented by True Mother Hyun Shil Kang after her move from Korea to northeast Pennsylvania in December of 2016. From the first time she spoke to us, we were captivated by her quiet strength, deep wisdom, and incredible love for True Father. I remember seeing her and marveling at how such great spiritual power could emanate from such a small person! Hyun Shil Kang was True Father’s first disciple in South Korea. As a young Presbyterian evangelist, she visited his mud hut in Pusan in order to witness to him. Instead, she joined True Father in his mission and was soon sent pioneering, successfully establishing many churches in Korea. For seven years she witnessed every day in Seoul’s Pagoda Park, rain, snow, or shine. Whether working in Korea, Japan, or Russia, she was faithfully obedient to God’s Will in every endeavor for her entire life. True Mother Kang’s decision to leave her home in Cheong Pyeong and join the Second King and his family in the United States should not have come as a surprise to anyone who knew her. A devout Christian, she could not accept the heretical words and actions of Reverend Moon’s widow, heresies that were incompatible with the Bible-based teachings of the Divine Principle. Staying true to the Lord of the Second Advent, she quietly departed Silvertown (leaving her cell 1 True Mother Kang spoke in Korean, and the translations into English were performed simultaneously, a most difficult task for whomever is translating. We have done our best to render her true meaning, and acknowledge that there are surely errors in the text. It is our sincere hope that Korean language transcriptions can soon be made of all her sermons, and that another, more accurate translation of her precious words can be made available. Links to her speeches are provided for study and review. xii …….

When warned by her doctor that traveling at her advanced age would be harmful to her health, her response was, “If I die, I die.” During the time she lived with the Second King and his family in Pennsylvania, she warmly greeted visitors to the palace, gave sermons for worship services, and regularly joined the King in his daily online “King’s Report.” She spent much of her time in prayer and especially loved studying the Cheon Seong Gyeong.

    In‐Depth Report Legal Dispute Over The Unification Church‐Owned Parking Lot In Yeouido, Seoul ‐ Hyun Jin Moon April 25, 2011 'Battle of the Princes' takes place in the Unification Church as a fight for 2 trillion won ensues Unification Church Foundation, "Operating company and the former chairman who violated property rights of the church members should be held responsible" Hyun Jin Moon's side (3rd son), "This lawsuit is clearly them trying to 'kill Hyun Jin Moon'" Regardless of who wins the lawsuit, damages will total in the hundreds of millions of dollars By Se Jin Kwon of Monthly Chosun [email protected] Across from the LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, Seoul, at the address of 22 Yeouido‐dong Yeongdungpo‐ku where the construction of Parc 1 is taking place, there’s a desolate feeling with the halting of the construction. A signifant contrast can be seen when compared with the SIFC building across the street, which is showing smooth progress with several stories up already. The City of Seoul reached an agreement in 2005 with an overseas financial institution to begin the construction of the SIFC on the city owned lot and designated Yeouido as a 'Global Financial Center' in February of this year. SIFC and Parc 1 function as essential landmarks of this international financial center. The 56 story SIFC and 72 story Parc 1 were destined to become the new skyscrapers of Seoul. The reason the construction stopped as of November, 2010 is the result of a dispute between the land owner and the superficiary. The original owner of the land is the “Support Foundation for the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity” (hereinafter referred to as the Unification Church Foundation), is the owner of this piece of land and signed a contract with Y22 Finance Investment in May of 2005, which gave Y22 a 99 year term for control over the superficies.

  • 2019-08-05 True Fathers Suffering
    Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Proverbs 18:21 You get married not just for yourself, but for your spouse as well. Does that mean to say that marriage is more for your spouse than yourself? Since everything in heaven and earth is based on the principle of subject and object, for man and woman to get married is also a rule in heaven and earth. If man represents right, woman represents left, this is so that they can form a horizontal relationship in the universe. If man is subject, woman becomes his object; this forms a vertical, upper and lower relationship with God. Therefore marriage is not for the sake of just the man or just the woman. It is to conform to heavenly law. The reason man and woman are shaped differently is so they can come together according to heavenly law. CSG 1742 Greetings! At the beginning of his sermon, Hyung Jin Nim explained that we should resist the leftist media agenda to make the repugnant accusation that white people who voted for Trump are somehow responsible for the shootings in Texas and Ohio over the weekend. He showed a video made by T. Rex Arms about how to contact elected officials about changing laws. "How to Kill a Tax" shows how average citizens can initiate new legislation. This is also how we can build the Kingdom culture right here. We know that the Kingdom has to be built here on earth, with our active involvement.

  • Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, March 31, 2019 Sanctuary Service, Newfoundland
    The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. Psalm 119:72 In the beginning of history, Eve fell because she did not become one with God. If she had obeyed God's commandment, even at the cost of her life, and walked the road of death gladly, the fall would not have occurred. Accordingly, today Unification Church women should pledge their lives, hold on to God, and march forward. SMM, Blessing and Ideal Family, Chapter 5: "The Formula Course for Perfection" Greetings! In Sunday's Service Hyung Jin Nim praised Pennsylvania state representative Stephanie Borowicz who prayed in the name of Jesus at the Capitol in Harrisburg. Leftists hate the name of Jesus because he represents a different Kingdom, that cannot be controlled. Wickedness must be punished or there is no justice. God is greater than those tyrannies. We carry (firearms) to defend life, not for boasting, but for saving lives. Christ brings freedom and responsibility, not socialism. Globalists fear that if the Rod of Iron Kingdom culture spreads, it could challenge their control, which is true, but we are also law-abiding and restrained. Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, March 31, 2019 Sanctuary Service, Newfoundland, PA The Book of Nahum describes God's judgment of the brutal and powerful Assyrian empire in 600 BC. The Assyrians would massacre people, even skinning people alive. Their prosperity was attractive to the Israelites, tempting them to also worship the Assyrian gods. In the Bible the chosen people repeatedly rejected God and were judged for it, but also given more chances for redemption.

    Summary Report & Reflections ‘The Life and Legacy of SMM and the Unification Movements in Scholarly Perspective’ Faculty of Comparative Study of Religion and Humanism (FVG) Antwerp, Belgium 29-30 May 2017 __________________________________________________________________ Organized by: The European Observatory of Religion and Secularism (Laïcité) in partnership with Faculty of Comparative Study of Religion and Humanism (FVG), CESNUR & CLIMAS (Bordeaux) This is a summary-report and a reflection on the recent conference in Antwerp, Belgium. The text is a compilation of impressions and reflections by Dr. Andrew Wilson, Dr. Mike Mickler, Dan Fefferman, Hugo Veracx, Peter Zoehrer and Catriona Valenta. The number of participants (including scholars & organizers) was around 40: 15 persons belonging to Sanctuary Church, 8 participants from the Preston (H1) group, 8 from FFWPU and 9 neutral (ex-members, scholars, etc.). The conference was devoted almost exclusively to examining the background and development of the schisms that have emerged in the Unification Movement since the death of the founder. DAY ONE The first day was consistent with the conference theme of the „Life and legacy of Sun Myung Moon and Unification Movements“ in a scholarly perspective. Dr. Eileen Barker led off with an excellent keynote address titled "The Unification Church: A Kaleidoscopic History." She looked at the UM as a religious movement, a spiritual movement, a charismatic movement, a messianic movement, a millenarian movement, a utopian movement, a political movement, a financial-business movement, a criminal movement, a sectarian movement, a denominationalizing movement, and a schismatic movement. It was a good introduction to the conference as a whole. Alexa Blonner followed with a very excellent presentation on the UM's antecedents in Neo-Confucian thought and also the ways in which the UM went beyond that heritage.

  • 2018-02-19 the Rod of Iron Controversy
    "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone." Mark 10:18 To achieve this, someone on behalf of God must be victorious over Satan, both as an individual and as an adopted son. Moreover, as a child of direct lineage, he must fight with the satanic world and win over it for God. CSG 192 Greetings! In Hyung Jin Nim's sermon on Sunday, he explained that thos e using a rod of iron especially need a sound mind. You never can take back a bullet. If you make a mistake, you are responsible for the consequences. Be slow to anger. That's why it's important to drill and practice. ALWAYS check any weapon to see if it is loaded. It's an inanimate object that needs to be controlled by a responsible person. Free enterprise leads to great wealth. But with wealth comes the danger that it can lead to relativism and corruption. That is why Peace Police Peace Militia training is so important, for developing self-control, humility and learning to relate to people of different classes and backgrounds. Kingdom of the Rod of Iron 5 - February 18, 2018 - Rev. Hyung Jin Moon - Unification Sanctuary, Newfoundland PA In Matthew 19:24, Jesus warned us that " Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." Be careful not to be a moral posturer or practice self-idolatry. Jesus said no one is good except God.

  • Hyung Jin Nim and Kook Jin Nim with Donald Trump, Jr at the Kahr Arms
    Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: Should you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever, to him and his sons, by a covenant of salt? Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord. 2 Chronicles 13:4-6 Human beings were to observe, administer and lead the universe from a lofty and exalted position. They were not to be dragged around and made to obey. Your mind, a liberated mind is like that. No one wants to be controlled. This is equally true for everybody. Once you acquire the position of true love, you can go freely to God's position and to His throne in the heavenly nation. You can become God's friend. God created humankind for the sake of love. Therefore, since God is eternal and absolute, human beings have eternal life themselves. We automatically come to this logic. For this reason, true love is eternal. To attain eternal life, you must live in that realm of true love. CSG 572 Greetings! Since Hyung Jin Nim was attending the NRA convention in Indianapolis, International Director of Missions, Tim Elder, gave the Sunday Service message. In his sermon Tim discussed how Father established the 8 Unification Church holy days plus his Seonghwa and Foundation Day, so ten holidays. These are devoid of pagan influence.
