End of Days by Sylvia Browne

cross is actually a symbol of failure, and Jesus never experienced a physical resurrection. The Second Coming that God promised isn’t a reference to Jesus at all, it’s a reference to a “third Adam” who will satisfy God’s long-awaited plan of providing physical salvation through marriage from which genetically sin-free children would be born. Moon’s Divine Principle unmistakably implies that Moon himself is that “third Adam.”

  • The true Trinity is composed of God, the “third Adam,” and his bride, and God’s kingdom on Earth can be realized only through the marriages Moon and his wife personally arrange or approve. Members of the Unification Church are the only “True Family,” with the glorified title of “True Parents” being reserved for no one but Moon, aka the third Adam, and his exalted wife. (The fact that Moon divorced his first three wives doesn’t seem to diminish the Moonies’ enthusiasm for the True Parents concept, which certainly implies that one third of the church’s Trinity is interchangeable.)
  • Salvation is complete only when both physical and spiritual redemption have taken place. Physical redemption requires total obedience to Sun Myung Moon, the third Adam, while spiritual redemption requires fund-raising, enlisting new church members, and other means of expanding Moon’s power. But God will not forgive until and unless there has been some payment for the sins that have been committed by us flawed humans. (Moon has twelve children, by the way, and since they were fathered by the third Adam and have therefore been genetically purified, they’re considered by Moonies to be without sin.)
  • The commonly prophesied end of the world actually refers to the end of evil on Earth … which coincidentally can be achieved only through the auspices of Sun Myung Moon.

Moon summed up his beliefs about himself, to which he requires Moonies to adhere unequivocally, in the following way:

 

 

 

 

 

There have been saints, prophets, many religious leaders in past human history. Master here [referring to himself ] is more than any of those people and greater than Jesus himself … I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

Which makes his recurring legal problems seem more than a little ironic. He’s been convicted and spent time in prison over the years for such varied crimes as perjury, fraud, bigotry, and tax evasion. And yet his holdings include major shares in about three hundred U.S. corporations and foundations, from publishing companies to newspapers to toy, clothing, and jewelry manufacturers.

The “Reverend” Sun Myung Moon promised that the messiah would be revealed, not in the clouds as the Bible predicts but here on earth, by the year 2000. That messiah was not to be Jesus Christ, who failed in his mission a couple of millennia ago. Instead it was to have been a man born in 1920 in Korea—as Moon was—and God was to punish all who failed to recognize and embrace that messiah.

All these years later, the validity of Sun Myung Moon as the world’s savior is still eluding me and many of you as well, I’m sure. And so far that seems to be okay with God. Have you noticed?

I almost hate to give this man the dignity of having his name mentioned in print. But since he’s been executed and is no longer around to bask in a little more publicity, I do think he’s useful as a comparatively tiny example of how a “doomsday prophet” can destroy the lives of perfectly intelligent, well-meaning people.
