Is Rev. Moon the Second Coming?

In March 2004 at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in the presence of a large audience of congressmen and other "well-to-do's" in Washington D.C., Rev. Sun Myung Moon was presented with maroon robes, crowned "King of Peace," and proclaimed himself to be "none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent." His wife was by his side and was also presented a robe and bejeweled crown.

Up until a few weeks ago, I never knew that this had taken place. I was absolutely shocked. Though, after doing some more investigating, we come to find out that most of the people who were in attendance that night came under false pretenses. Most came under the guise that they were going to be honored for their humanitarian efforts and for being "Ambassadors of Peace." Low and behold, they were blindsided when at the close of the evening they were the unintentional witnesses to an erroneous coronation.

On the Watchman Fellowship website, I found an article that has a lot of good information on Rev. Moon and his cult, otherwise known as the Unification Church. Just in case you had doubts, Rev. Moon is not the Second Coming, unless you are comfortable with and confident in a Messiah who is an ex-con, adulterer, and is heavily involved in spiritualism (i.e. he claims to receive new revelations by projecting himself into the spirit realm and talking with Jesus and other dead saints).

Here are just a few of the aspects of Moonie theology:

• Pantheism: God is not a Person, but is a self-generating energy that became creation. God is all, and all is God.
  
• God was not happy or complete being alone, until it created people. It needs relationships.
  
• God created Adam and Eve to be the perfect parents, but God's plan was thwarted when Eve had sexual relations with the archangel, Satan, and then with Adam.
  
• God came up with a new plan. He created Jesus (who was only human), and intended for him to get married. Then Jesus and his bride would become the perfect parents and raise sinless children. But once again, God's plan was ruined when Jesus got crucified before he could get married and have a family.
  
• God's final plan is being accomplished through Rev. Moon and his perfect family. Salvation and access to the Kingdom of God solely depend on the Moon Family. Everyone must be grafted into his perfect, God-center family.
  
• Rev. Moon claims that he is God's mouth-piece and only through him can "heaven on earth be literally achieved."

Rev. Moon claims that his is the only perfect God-centered family on earth. Let's take a look and see how accurate that statement is. This video clip is from an interview with the daughter of Rev. & Mrs. Moon (aka "The Perfect Parents") as well as Nansook, the wife of Hyo Jin, Moon's eldest son. In 1995 when she could not endure her husband's cocaine addiction, infidelity, and physical abuse any longer, Nansook fled with her 5 children, and divorced her husband of 14 years. In 1998, she wrote a book titled In the Shadow of the Moons: My Life in the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Family, which is about her experiences as a member of the Moon family.



As you can clearly see, Rev. Moon and his family are anything but perfect, and they certainly do not qualify as the "Perfect Parents" or being divine. Every family is dysfunctional to some extent and the Moon family is no exception.

No matter what fallacious claim Rev. Moon may make, it certainly does not line up with Scripture. "Jesus did not claim to be a partial way, half the truth, or some of the life. He did not leave room for others to complete or fulfill his work. Jesus stated in no uncertain terms, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' (John 14:6)" (Excerpt from Watchman Fellowship article) Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, true Messiah, Lord, and Savior of the world.
