In John 16:12 Jesus said," I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of Truth come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
There seems to be a general misunderstanding held by the Jews, Christians and Muslims alike regarding the Advent (Second) of the Messiah on three fundamental parts. Their focus is only on two parts, but the 3rd is missing.
1-How Will He Return ?
2-What will He do?
But 3rd and most significant part is missing; the Scroll with Seven seals that kept the "Truth", Messiah alone can Open! Like the Jews of Jesus' days, it had never occured to them that the Messiah in coming with a "New Truth" and a "New Ideal" to build God's new Kingdom on earth.
One would ask: What was written on this Scroll? Is there a more fundamental, highly significant Truth that God wanted to reveal to His children,(mankind) far greater than His painful history of restoration, from Adam&Eve, Noah, Abraham, Jesus and all the way to the present.?
Jesus' Death on Cross was a Tragic Mistake!
After I was led through Prophetic Dreams to meet the Unification Church, I attended a 40-day Divine Principle, (Rev. Moon's teaching) and Bible study workshop, I was astonished and at the same time in owe by the depth of truth I was learning from the Divine Principle; God's nature, His purpose for the creation, the fall of man. But what astonished and amazed me the most was the chapter, "The Purpose of the Messiah", that revealed to me for the first time, that Jesus' painful death on the cross was a tragic mistake of the "Chosen People", the very people that God had prepared to receive him! Chosen for what?
I cried uncontrollably for hours.
After i heard the shocking news, I was overwhelmed with a heavy pain and sorrow for Jesus! That no words to describe. I broke in tears, crying uncontrollably non-stop for hours! At first I was disappointed with the Jews for killing Jesus, than after learning about Christianity, i find myself disappointed at the Christians for believing that Jesus' death on the cross was predestined by God.
Islam and Jesus
Few days later, I reflected on Islam and once again, I find myself disappointed with Islam as well! In my mind I questioned Islam "Why didn't I hear about Jesus before? "Why did Islam keep Jesus hidden from the Muslim people?" Though the Koran mentioned Jesus and his mother Mary in many Surats, and believed in Jesus as one of the greatest prophets, Muslim's religious authorities treated Jesus as if he is no longer valid! They taught people that Allah and prophet Mohammed are what is most important.
Ironically, most Sunni Muslims believe in Jesus' return! If you don't believe in Jesus now, how are you going to believe in him when he returns? Also Muslim's views on Jesus' death is wrong! They say that Jesus didn't die on the cross, that God had placed another person on the cross and took Jesus up to Heaven Alive, so that He can send him back in the Last Days! This in a sense similar to the Jews views on Elijah's return, found in the Old Testament of the Bible, II Kings 2:11 and Malachi 4,5.
I Read the Bible for the first time.
I Held the Bible and read it with my own eyes, over and over again, Bible verses that were presented by the Divine Principle contradicting traditional Christian thought such as
(John 1:11) " He came to his own home, and his own people received him not."
(1Cor 2:8) " None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of the Glory."
(Mat 26:38,39) in the garden at Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, " My soul is very sorrowful, even to death;remain here, and watch with me..."My Father, if it be possible, let this cup(of death) pass from me."
Jesus uttered this prayer, not once, but three times! If Jesus' death on the cross was predestined by God, then why did Jesus say to Judas Iscariot, his betrayer.." Woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
Divine Principle:Scroll of Seven Seals
Time and time again, I find the Divine Principle, the teaching of Reverend Sun Myung Moon, to be the Highest truth, God has sent to mankind in the 2oth century. After studying the Divine Principle and the Bible, I came to my final conclusion, that if the bible and the Koran are truly God's words of truth, the Divine Principle is the highest of all truths. Reverend Sun Myung Moon is the annoited one God has sent to open the Scroll of Seven Seals in revelation 5:1,5.
