Amazing - Early African Testimonies 1916-1921-1936
In 1916, a brave man, Thomas Ntualani (1880- 1942), on his way to Lukunga village, saw a man near the Lulowo stream. The man was standing up on the edge of the branch of a tree. The man called to him by his family name, “Ntualani!” “Yes, here I am,” replied Thomas Ntualani, noticing the astonishing way he was standing up in the tree. Quickly, Ntualani realized that the man was not a physical human being but an angel. The angel said, “You are elected to lead the way of God...
On April 6, 1921 another man, named Simon Kimbangu (1887-1951), started performing powerful miracles and teaching the word of God in the name of Jesus Christ. People came from far away to be healed, blessed and to hear the word of God. The three main themes that he preached concerned repentance and the denial of polygamy and false gods.
On April 21, 1921, Thomas Ntualani went with his entire family and relatives to receive the blessing given through Simon Kimbangu. Upon seeing Thomas Ntualani, Simon Kimbangu was unable to straighten his hand on the head of Thomas Ntualani. Then he heard a message, “Thomas Ntualani is a prophet, like you. You are both chosen to serve the Second Coming of the Lord.” They shook hands, and from that time Prophet Thomas Ntualani started his mission at Nkenge Kimani named “Nazareth.” Prophet Simon Kimbangu in Nkamba called his mission “Jerusalem.”
The Early Days
Though with no means of modern telecommunication technology, the two prophets were able to communicate spiritually and regularly transmitted messages to one another. They were the John the Baptists for the Second Coming in Africa.
Thomas Ntualani prophesied 1936, “The Lord of the Second Coming is born. The Christ has come from an Eastern country,” meaning he is of the yellow race.
Members were arrested and imprisoned. Two-thirds of them died in prison under forced agricultural labor.
Reverend Sun Myung Moon recognizes these sufferings. He declared in a speech in 1978, “It’s incredible. White people occupied Africa and made colonies there, but they never educated the people. They just took everything for their own use. They didn’t show them how to make farms, and they didn’t tell them how to reap crops, vegetables or fruit. They never introduced anything, not even how to make bread . . . How can they [the Africans] hope to survive? All these wrongdoings were done by white people. If people don’t try to solve these things, it may be that the yellow people will go there and correct them . . .
No one tells this story in public. They just want to put a lid on it. We will have to open that up and indemnify it. Someone will have to pay for it and ease their hearts. When I bring these things out in the open, am I cruel or just trying to find fault with white people? Do you think that it’s good for me to bring this out? It’s good because it’s the only way to make things even and start things new.
In 1936, the Prophet Thomas Ntualani was in prison with his son Kiamosi, who was then twenty years old. The prophet told his son, “The Lord of the Second Coming is already born. I will not be there when he will establish the Kingdom of God . . . but you, my son, will be there.” “How will I recognize the Coming Lord?” inquired his son. “You, my son, will work with the Lord of the Second Coming. There will be a time when you will see someone coming from an Eastern country looking for you and will have you travel around the world. You will know that it is he, the messiah,” answered the Prophet.
This remains the greatest revelation recorded in the history of the New Christian Spiritual Kintuadi Church. This message was made into songs and used as encouragement for those who were under trial and hard labor while in prison. The two Prophets, who were imprisoned for thirty years each, both died in prison. They bequeathed their mission to their children.
Reverend and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon began their worldwide mission in 1975 and sent their disciples to all the continents of the world. The Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) received Reverend Gregory Novalis (American), Annette (German) and Akaishi (Japanese) as representatives of True Parents in Central Africa.
They had been generally informed about God’s preparation work in the Democratic Republic of Congo and particularly about the New Christian Spiritual Church Kintuadi. Reverend Gregory walked day and night from big hotels to the universities, where he became a professor, planning how to witness to the Congolese people about the new expression of truth, the Divine Principle brought by the messiah. He met the New Christian Spiritual Church Kimbanguist branch, but they rejected him because the prophecy said to work with an eastern yellow race coming as the messiah rather than with an A m e r i c a n .
Discouraged, packing his luggage to return to the U.S.A., he met on the eve of his departure Mr. Kimbula, who introduced him to the prepared New Christian Spiritual Church Ntualani branch in 1979.
His first meeting at the church headquarters was confirmed by a medium, “This man [Reverend Gregory Novalis] works with the coming messiah, Reverend Sun Myung Moon. The time has come that our church Representative has to travel. He will go very far, and you have to support him.”
A special contribution was made by the church members, and Reverend Gregory Novalis reported the meeting to the World Mission Department of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (Unification Church) in the U.S.A. Our Church Representative, Kiamosi (63 years old with a basic elementary level of education) received a special invitation from True Parents to attend a 40- Day World Seminar in the U.S.A.

Remember 1916 and 1921 was well before True Father (SMM) accepted his mission 1935.
The Orient (and Korea; yellow race) was already chosen long before that! - see above
Some quotes...
Pak Sul-nam, recalled that Moon once was praying in the church with the others when his head suddenly jerked so forcefully that it dented a plank of the wooden wall. They saw it as evidence of his spirituality.
Rev. Kim told his followers that Moon had profound spiritual wisdom.
On March 2, 1946, the Holy Spirit came down, Jesus is said to have appeared, and they began receiving continuous revelations
concerning Korea's apparent role as the new chosen country.
He prayed with such intensity and feeling that the sweat and tears seemed to pour from him.
Moon held services which, by the end of 1947, were being attended regularly by forty people.
He invested himself completely in his followers.
Many had been led directly through revelations.

Pastor William Branham USA had been hearing voices since he was seven years old. Finally, in May of 1946, Branham was commissioned by an angel from God to be the forerunner of the Second Coming of Christ.
Comment: In June 1946 Sun Myung Moon went to Pyong Yang to search for the prepared Spiritual groups for the Second Coming of Christ. It seams like that Heavenly korean mission "spilled over" to Branham in USA already 1946 - first missionary to USA 1959.
One of the more radical beliefs of his group is that of Serpent Seed which states that the first sin committed occurred when Eve engaged in sexual activities with the Serpent in the Garden of Eden thus causing "the Fall of man." - 1957
"He began teaching her about the "Last Days of the World" and the "Second Advent of the Messiah." He explained that the Messiah would not come on the clouds as she had been taught; but he would come as a physical man to their own Korea."
As he spoke, Mrs. Kang thought to herself, "Well, that would certainly be nice, but the things he says are impossible."
"He told her that in 1950 Jesus had appeared in the skies of North Korea, and during the Korean War an airline pilot saw Jesus very clearly in the sky. The South Korean newspapers even printed articles about it."

60s California - "Nothing Will Stop Him!"
One evening a little old lady called Lovey Murray came to our door. She said,"God told me in a dream to come to this address and I would find His Son." She was about eighty years old.
Miss Kim was teaching Divine Principle to several members, and afterwards we all went into the kitchen where she continued to speak about Heavenly Father.
All of a sudden this old woman went into trance and she started shouting in a masculine voice, very powerfully, saying,
"I see a man in Korea; he has a white cross in one hand and
a white flag in the other, and he is marching into North Korea,
Red China, Japan and into Russia and all over the world.
Nothing will stop this man from bringing the entire world to God; nothing will stop this man - absolutely nothing!"
After this she fainted, and we had to take her home in a taxi.
Ref:Doris Testimony
"I bear witness to the fact that the Old Testament and the New Testament combined are not sufficient to live by in the New Cosmic Age we have ascended into."
"To be saved, every man, woman and child must commence their mission before they leave this earth plane.
And before they can do this they must find the reason for the original sin and what original sin is. Perfection and resurrection can only be achieved through work and that work must be done in the body, the spirit of Truth demands it. "
Ref: the APOSTLE PAUL
" Mr. Moon in deep meditation can project himself and be seen just as Jesus has been able to project himself and be seen by the saints.
This is one of the marks - of the messiahs always."

Ref: Ford-sitting 1965
"At a meeting held in the eastern part of the United States on the occasion of his first visit to the U.S.A., a questioner bluntly asked him: "Are you Christ?" In reply Sun Myung Moon raised his hand and pointed to various members of the audience in turn, saying: "and so are you... and you... and you also, if you can accept it." On another occasion a translation of what he said in the Korean language was given as follows: "This is God's world and it has no boundaries. It is one. Your life is one of universal significance and I call upon you to share my mission. Be urgently concerned for the world and know, feel and act in accordance with the Divine Will. The purpose of the coming Lord is that some day all shall be like him - like Christ."
"...the day of Revelation, the Day of Manifestation, which will mark the Christing of the whole earth and the true beginning of the Golden Age - the Rule of Love and Truth. These and other spiritual lights are appearing in their astral and etheric counterparts in visions and dreams to those who are attuned to them.
Prominent among these is the one who at birth was given the cosmic name Sun Myung Moon. Sun Myung Moon took earthly form in Korea in 1920 and after Jesus had appeared to him when he was 16 years old he accepted his own unique mission in relation to the "Second Coming" and he founded what he called the Unification Church of World Christianity. After spending a month in Korea as his guest, I can myself testify to the remarkable revelations which come to those who are attuned to him. It seems to me that because Sun Myung Moon is incarnate upon the earth at this time and has a particular link with the Christ Ray, he make an indispensable bridge for many people who are being given exceptional and life changing experiences by taking his powerful name into their meditations."
"It does not seem to me to be adequate to dismiss this Revelation with the advice of Gamaliel as given in Chapter 5 of the Acts of the Apostles. It is surely not enough simply to say: "Let these people alone. If this movement is merely human it will collapse of its own accord, whereas if it is of God it cannot be overthrown." These events have been continuing and extending their scope for several years and I earnestly hope that more attention will be given to this matter in the time that remains, if only to ensure that as many people as possible are as prepared as possible to be as responsive as possible to what Truth has called "My Great Universal Revelation." "
"While bearing in mind all we have said above, we think our readers would be particularly interested to know of some of the remarkable visions and revelations which sensitives are being given in connection with Sun Myung Moon who lives in Korea but who is reportedly appearing and teaching in spirit form in many different parts of the world. The circumstantial evidence of this from our own investigations is overwhelming and information about his role in the Cosmic Plan is being given independently to sensitives who have no direct connection with his physical form nor with his movement - the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity - which is spreading to many countries at this time. "
"From our own personal meetings with Sun Myung Moon, and from the inner understanding given us about his universal mission, our abiding impression is of one who acutely reflects the intensity of the burning flame of the Father's heart and wants all to share his mission - the mission of the Christ - for the redemption of the whole of mankind and the restoration of the physical world. We have spoken of the universality of the Christ in his appeal to all people at this moment of unprecedented challenge and opportunity and it is in his own conscious acceptance of this mission that Sun Myung Moon has meaning for the world. It is the need for urgent, immediate and sustained action in the service of the universal Christ which remains our predominant and enduring thought and inspiration as the result of our meetings in Korea with Sun Myung Moon."
Ref: Anthony Brooke
"During the four years I lived in the Seoul church, under the same roof as Father (Sun Myung Moon). At one time I returned on week to my own home to clean. One day when I was sweeping at the front door, Father appeared suddenly full size, in a spiritual manifestation, in front of my door. I had never seen such a living spirit before. He told me he woke up every morning looking over the Han river, and longing for me to return. He missed me and wanted me to live again in the church, even as I had only been gone for a week."
Ref:Young Oon Kims Testimony
from Blessing Quarterly Winter 1987, p 27
The "Universal Link" is a group which is playing the role of
forerunner.
Their mission is to testify to the existence of the spirit
world.
The one who calls himself "Truth" is a spirit who manifests
himself in the name of, or through, Jesus.
That group will introduce
the spirit world to the people.
"Between the years 1961 and 1967 an archetypical Christ-like being, apperently in solid form, made frequent appearances to Richard Grave in England (and subsequently, as reported, to persons elsewhere) and announced in a series of dictated statements that a universal cosmic operaton was in progress ushering in the New Age."
In Denmark "... in an almost dramatical way confirmed by what later took place: Just as I was through reading a letter and a pressrelease with Anthonys (A. Brooke) predictions that the name of Sun Myung Moon was to be known all throughout the world - in that very moment Sun Myung Moon visited us here in my home, by speaking with a loud, clear voice, through Kathleens mouth, saying " I am Sun Moon".
I immediately wrote to Anthony Brooke and told him about this stunning experience. Anthony read my letter to Sun Myung Moon, who instantly confirmed that it really was he who had visited us

I was guided by the spirit world to join. I was in New York and I read a book called "The Gift of Prophecy" by Jeanne Dixon. She said a man named Joseph would work with Jesus when he returned. I thought it was me
I hoped to meet her to ask her about it but we never met.
She gave me a pamphlet called "Revelation for a New Age," by Dr. Anthony Brooke. I started thumbing through it and I came across a picture of Father, the same picture in the Divine Principle book. Then all of a sudden, he appeared and said,
"I have a mission for you to do, but you're not ready for it yet. I will prepare you for it." He appeared to the psychic woman. I looked at his eyes in the picture and saw his name, Sun Myung Moon, and got down on my knees and cried through the whole episode.
...When they first came down the stairs, I looked at them and I saw tremendous power. It looked like God.
Six months later I had some doubts about my accepting the Principle. I did a 3-day fast and went to the holy ground until
I had an answer. I took the Bible and Divine Principle and a blanket. I cried and prayed, a loud prayer - is Sun Myung Moon the Messiah?
Is the Divine Principle true? I'm tired of praying to emptiness, I want to see you. Moses prayed and you showed yourself to him, he saw the back of you.
If I were you, and you were me, I would come and face you, man to man, and answer my questions. I don't want to see doves flying by or deer running up the slope.
I don't want anything except you, to see you face to face. I cried, and prayed and I waited with my blanket.
Then I heard in my mind, "Joseph , have you read the New Testament?" I said, "Some of it." "Do you remember all the miracles Jesus did for the people? Did it help
the faith of the people? Did you read the Old Testament? Did those miracles cause people to believe in Moses? Did they believe because of the miracles? Why do you want a miracle?
The only way you will get your answer if the Divine Principle is true is to live the Principle in your life. Make the Principle a living thing that no one can take from you. I really
can't meet you man to man, face to face. I made the entire universe. But when you make your heart like mine, then our hearts will become one. Then you will know me as you desire to know me."
I cried. I picked up my blanket and DP book and the Bible and went back to the center. I didn't look anymore from that time on for miracles. But I sought to make the Principle a part of my life.
I felt a vibrant vitality from everything surrounding me. I knew
because of the truth, something dramatic had changed in my life. As I prayed
and read the Divine Principle, I began to have deep insights into its meaning.
When I prayed about Jesus' incomplete mission, he appeared to me together
with True Father and told me that True Father was completing his mission on
earth.
In the early days in Rome, we had many deep spiritual experiences.
Every Sunday morning in the summer, we prayed outdoors from midnight to 7 a. m.
at a place called Monte Porzio. One particular experience happened at 3 in the morning:
a small sign of Omega appeared over the city of Rome, and as it came toward us it grew bigger
and bigger until it covered about two-thirds of the night sky. This incredible vision lasted
three or four minutes, and all of us praying on the mountainside witnessed it.
Another night at the same place we saw a bright burst of light in the sky - a
tiny dot at first, which quickly grew to the size of the moon. Very soon after,
another burst of light appeared and another and another, forming the base
of four positions in the sky. The last burst of light turned pink, while the oth-
ers turned gold and green-it was so beautiful! Again, we all saw this vision;
there was no mistake. We had so many experiences on that hillside outside of
Rome.
Ref:Italian beginning By Dr. Martin Porter
Then a blazing warmth surrounded me; someone was standing behind me. Without turning, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that God was answering my prayers with Christ's presence, forgiving me and showing me that He' d been there at every bad turn, trying to reach me. I'd looked for Him so many times, and I never knew.
This profound meeting point with our Heavenly Father confirmed to me eternally that He had led me to our True Parents, and that their course was in concert with God's will.
Ref:Testimony by Mrs Porter
Another man dressed in Oriental garb appeared beside Jesus - it was Father. They then became one and Father went inside of Jesus, and Jesus' face became magnificently radiant as he continued to walk towards me. He took both of my hands in his, and I felt tears running down my cheeks.
Ref:Face to Face - Experiences with Jesus by Mr. Philip K. Burley
The first time I met True Father was in 1975, at Barrytown, NY. I was a new member and working in the kitchen. At the end of one speech to the 120-day workshop participants, the staff hurriedly ran down the hall to greet him as he passed by. In honest humility, I stood with my head bowed and as he passed, I felt a waterfall of spirit flow from my head to my toes. I knew that I had been changed somehow.
October 28, 1975.
After the third day of lectures my head and heart where bursting with emotions and questions. I went to the sisters' room and covered myself under a blanket. I pictured myself as an Indian in the middle of a teepee surrounded by nature and talking to God. I asked Him, God, what do you want me to do now? This truth is so powerful." I was, however, having difficulty accepting that the Messiah would be such a straightforward, serious, older Korean man. I knew the Principle had to be right, but how could he be the one?
I asked God to tell me if it was really him. "Is this korean man really your true son, the savior of all mankind?" I wish I could fully describe to you the whole encompassing feeling I received. I felt God's arms around me and I swear I actually heard His voice - LOUD AND CLEAR - "Yes, this is my BELOVED SON. HE IS - HE IS THE ONE!"
My ears were ringing, my whole body was shaking. It was as if I had been totally deaf before and then when I heard those words, sound suddenly exploded - loud and clear.
It is almost 24 years later and I have had many, many spiritual experiences. But I have never heard God's voice so absolutely as that day. That was truly my spiritual BIRTH day.
Muhammed Ali asked me,"Really? Is that who you're fundraising for?" and I, who was well practiced in
defending my line, as I thought it was the absolute truth, and should have been good enough for anyone to
make a "good condition" of buying, said,
"Yes, that's really who I'm doing this for."
But in my heart, at the time, I said, "No, I'm doing this for Rev. Moon and the Unification Church!!!"
That's what my heart said, but that's not what came out of my mouth.
I found out later, from a sister I knew well, that Muhammed Ali really respected True Father and our
movement, and often challenged our fundraisers to speak up and be proud of who we were.
Muhammed Ali himself, when told that he was the greatest, before the sports media was known to have said,
"No, I am not the greatest. Reverend Moon, now, he is the greatest!!!"
Just think, if I'd been as honest with my mouth that day in the Rice Hotel lobby, maybe Muhammed Ali
would have said that to me. Instead he only took a whiff of my candles and paid five dollars.
But it sobered me up, and I have to say that from that time onward, I sought to wear my ID badge, and I
really respected the brothers and sisters who flaunted that.
There were numerous reports of healing at the workshop from the Water of Life and from the work of Dae Mo Nim through Mrs. Hyo Nam Kim and her assistant, Mrs. Han. Two independent doctors had told Dr. Joseph Sheftick his badly infected foot had bacome gangrenous and life-threatening and would have to be amputated. He refused , however, to have it cut off, and instead participated in the workshop, hobbling around unsteadily with the aid of a cane. By the end of the workshop his wound was completely healed, he had thrown away his cane, and he was climbing the mountain of the Tree of Blessing with more vigor than most of his fellow participants.
The hands of elder Japanese sister had been paralyzed with painful arthritis for which she had had to receive weekly shots. By the end of the workshop her pain had dissapeared, and she had a normal range of motion in her hands. Her arthritis had been healed.
Also, a number of serious cases of diabetes were healed, and many reported lessor health problems that had been cleared up by the end of the workshop.

Jesus' Message to Christians and All
Reverend Sun Myung Moon is the returning Messiah for whom you have been waiting and waiting. He inherited my mission at the age of 16. Dear Christians, are you still looking
up and waiting for Christ to return on the clouds? Reverend Moon travels throughout the world on the clouds. He is investing all of his heart and soul for the realization of world
peace. Even today, although he is over 80 years old, he is fighting on the frontline.
Are you going to hang him on the cross again, like the Romans who persecuted me 2,000 years ago? Aren't you aware of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? God is love.
He is waiting. Please receive the Messiah who has descended in the Completed Testament Age. Do not reject his achievements and his dispensation for the salvation of humanity. Pray
with sincerity. I, Jesus, will be with you in your earnest prayers. /5 April 2001
The Buddha's Message to Buddhists and Believers in Other Religions
Dear Buddhists, I am not saying that your way of life thus far has been wrong. Like Jesus, in my time I also did my best to guide humankind in the right direction. However, with the
passing of time, the tasks needed for the salvation of humankind have changed.
Please study the Unification Principle.
You will find there a considerable number of truths that also flow through the teachings of Buddhism. Do not be immersed in old-fashioned ideas and concepts, but by accepting
the new truth, engraft it to the truth of Buddhism. Then I am sure that a wonderful passage of faith will open to you. In this age Reverend Sun Myung Moon is the Buddha for
whom you have been waiting. Make a special condition as a Buddhist at a shrine. It is time for you to be true to the highest standard of Buddhist integrity. Do not reject the new Buddha,
who is to come in the Completed Testament Age. Do not reject his truth.
Reverend Sun Myung Moon, on behalf of God, is guiding us toward an eternal passage to peace. Through his mission he awakens our spirit. Then he is willing to be responsible for our life in the next world. /6 April 2001
Mohammed's Message for Muslims and All People on Earth
God is the Parent of humanity. If examined carefully, the original source of all doctrine or truth is one. What religion would teach people to revere evil? Although their methods
might differ, their fundamental purpose is to pursue goodness. God is the original being of absolute goodness and love, and every religion teaches about love.

"God exists as Parent of humankind."
All the thinkers in this cosmos! I, Marx, have met God. I have found that He is the Parent of humankind. I have felt the greatness of God's love. I clearly convey to you who God
is. He is the Parent of humankind. Reverend Sun Myung Moon, who is on the Earth, brought this fact to light. The Divine Principle and Unification Thought express the original
standards that open the way to salvation, so you must read them. I ask this of you seriously. I clearly say that I apologize for my past to God and True Parents and I love them and am
proud of them. /Marx, April 18, 2002

(1893-1976. Built the socialist society in China.)
"I will thoroughly apply Godism in my life."
The four great saints tried to comfort me, telling me that God, as the Parent of humankind, forgives everything. Introducing Unification Thought and the Divine Principle, they
kindly explained the mental suffering they endured until they unified in every respect. It was a very short period, but I was treated as a man. I would like to tell clearly to all the Christians
and Communists on the Earth how I live here. I lived under an old tree, because everybody hated me. It was the only place I could hide. I lived under the old tree avoiding the hot
and cold weather. I bet you can imagine the shape I was in. I feel liberated now that I have honestly talked to you.
My friends and all people! Human beings will perish if they do not follow Godism. God exists and the spirit world clearly exists. Reverend Moon, True Parents, who illuminated
the truth that God is the Parent of humankind, please save our Communist people. Thank you for the hard work and love you invest to save humankind by God's special order. As I am saved,
I will live thoroughly according to Godism. Thank you.

MESSAGES FROM JOURNALISTS
Hugh Love
(Died 2002 at age 73. Belfast Telegraph reporter, UK.)
"Jesus asked me to report on the situation here to people on earth."
I, Hugh Love, would like to file a news flash to the earth from the spirit world, the world after death. I believe the fact that I am able to do this is already shocking news. Here, I've
experienced something unimaginable. I met Jesus, who is adored not only by all Christians but also by all humanity He greeted me, "Welcome. You're new here, aren't you?" and treated me with utmost kindness.
He then continued, "As people on earth are not acquainted with the actual situation here in the spirit world, I would like you to report it factually to them so that when they come here, their souls may have definite knowledge of the place where they can remain with God." In order to fulfill this request, I would like to submit as accurate a report as possible of the events taking place here to the people on earth.
I could not understand what was happening that so many people would be gathered here. As soon as I entered the place, cameras began to flash all around. Although I had been a reporter on earth, I was not a cameraman and therefore had never taken pictures. In one place, a person I did not recognize kept taking pictures with a flash, and the flashes of light made me feel dizzy. How should I report these things to people on earth? There were many people in this place, but it was very quiet. I did not dare to breathe too loudly. This place is a lecture facility were the Divine Principle is conveyed. It is a place where lectures are given on the Divine Principle and Unification Thought, which God had revealed to Reverend Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Unification Church who is on earth. The atmosphere surrounding the lecturers and the
audience was more sober than anything I had ever seen before. I was so affected by the atmosphere that it was difficult for me to cover the event. I did not feel I could walk around as I pleased.
The lecturers explained to me that the camera flashes had been my momentary spiritual experience, and the flashing light that I saw was a manifestation of God. I also listened to the Divine Principle lecture, but for the most part I paid little attention to the contents. The topics and contents of the Divine Principle lecture were unfamiliar to me. Perhaps because it has not been long since I left the earth, I find it amaz-ing that such things as these are going on in the spirit world.
It is incredibly mysterious. Oh! How can this be? Most people in the audience looked enraptured by the Divine Principle lecture.
It appeared clear that some superhuman power was at work.
Outside the lecture room, a sea of people waited their turn to enter, and the atmosphere inside the room was solemn and sober. I am not yet ready to gather information on the profound depth of the Divine Principle. As a reporter, I can only convey the atmosphere of this place to people on earth.
I saw Jesus sitting humbly in a respectful posture in the front row. It appeared to me that there was something in this place that humankind has never experienced before ? some kind of secret of Heaven. I cannot rid myself of the desire to step out of my position as a journalist and study the Divine Principle.

MESSAGES FROM PRESIDENTS
Sixteenth President of the United States;
Preserved the Union through victory in the Civil War, and issued the Proclamation of Emancipation for the slaves
People of America, I wish for you to constantly go the way of obedience, aligned with the teachings of True Parents.
Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Mansei!
Returning Lord and Messiah, Mansei!
True Parents of humanity, Mansei!
I, Abraham Lincoln, have experienced incredibly wondrous and exciting moments, but I am saddened that there is no communication, or crossing back and forth, between the earthly and spiritual worlds. Without doubt, Rev. Sun Myung Moon is the True Parent of humanity. He shows us how to love one another and brings us together as one, with no discrimination among religions or races. He is accomplishing feats on many levels that would be utterly impossible if it were not for True Parents' teachings. People of America, do you think you can bring peace through war and military force? God has appeared before humankind as our parent. While I was listening to the Divine Principle lectures, I had a vision. In this vision, all the souls in this place, including black people, yellow people, and white people, and including Christians, Buddhists, Confucianists, and Muslims, all came together and danced for joy. Then I saw a bright light, that is, the brilliant light of God, and in that instant, I, Abraham Lincoln, wanted to also jump in among them and begin to dance.
People of America, people of the world! Black people are children of God, as are white people. At some time, all of you will have to gather here in the spirit world and walk side by side and live together. I simply came here and experienced this fact before you.
I am making a request to the people of America because I love you with an earnest heart. Rev. Sun Myung Moon has appeared as the Messiah and the True Parent of humankind. I hope that you will attend the Messiah and constantly walk the path of obedience based on True Parents' teachings. War and military force will only serve to create another human hell. Is it not time for the earthly world to declare an end to hell? A philosophy of peace for humankind comes from the Messiah. The life that you now live in the earthly world is only a fleeting and incomplete life. If you are to live in the eternal world with eternal happiness, you must above all else awaken to the truth of the Divine Principle and Unification Thought. This is my solemn request.
Rev. Sun Myung Moon, I respect you. I thank you very much for all you have done. I will attend you resolutely as the Messiah and returning Lord, tear down the walls between races and religious groups, and participate actively in True Parents' Unification Movement.

A Message to the United Nations
Those of you at the United Nations, I am John Kennedy!
I want to declare an extremely important thing to you today. The fact that Kennedy is sending a message from the spiritual world to the United Nations is something that cannot be imagined in your world, and it is very significant news. Through attending lectures of the new truth, Divine Principle and Unification Thought here in the spirit world, I have understood the direction and goal that the world must take today. I want to let the UN know the following.
The people of the world today must live as brothers and sisters, helping and depending upon each other. This is the most urgent and universal value. I want to convey to those of you at the UN this strong message showing our resolution and will, hoping that you will put it into practice. I declare the following:
I sincerely hope that those of you at the UN keep these ten points in mind and in your own countries fulfill your responsibility in this age to lead humankind into a new future. Members of the United Nations, don't ask what the United Nations can do for you, ask what you can do for the realization of the eternal world of peace (the original founding purpose of the UN). I feel sorry to God that during my short term as president the UN did not fulfill its responsibility and, with a heart asking for forgiveness, I send this message.
John Kennedy July 30, 2003
