Excerpt
Introduction: If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For who ever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. (Mark 8:34-35) When Sun Myung Moon came to America in 1972, he came as a prophet of God, called to preach a message of revival in the face of rejection and persecution. His message was controversial, and his intentions have been frequently misunderstood and misrepresented, yet nothing deterred him from speaking out. The public ridicule by the media and other groups has never hindered Rev. Moon, because he sincerely believes that he is doing the work of God and that God is assisting his work. When, in 1982, Rev. Moon voluntarily returned from Korea to face charges of tax evasion, he came knowing that he faced an embarrassing trial and possible imprisonment yet was determined to bear that burden if it was necessary for the fulfillment of God's work in America. In spite of the verdict and the refusal of the Supreme Court to hear his appeal, his prayer to God was always, What way do You want to lead us now? What is Your next chapter for me? Let Your will be done. As Rev. Moon departed for Danbury prison, he declared that his faith would never change, and that despite this new cross, he would continue to work for the fulfillment of God's will, for the unity of Christianity and the revival of God's spirit in America. Consistent with his pledge, in the winter of 1984-1985 he sent out 300,000 videotapes and literature sets to ministers all across America. Included in that material was a book, God's Warning to the World, which was a strong prophetic message to America and Christianity. That message from prison was a warning to America, given out of love, that it has not yet lived up to God's expectation. Rev. Moon believes that American Christians should set an example of goodness, righteousness, and sacrificial love for the world. He is concerned that a self-centered, materialistic America is liable to God's judgment, while salvation lies in living out the teachings and spirit of Jesus Christ.
