Clouds of Witnesses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clouds of Witnesses: The Saints' Testimonies is a document published in 2002 by the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (i.e., Unification Church) purportedly recording a ceremony in the spirit world wherein representatives of the world's five major religions and several Communist leaders testified that Sun Myung Moon is the Messiah and pledged to follow him. The document concluded with a letter from God in which he expresses his love for the Reverend Moon. The master of ceremonies at the conference is said to have been Sang Hun Lee, a church theologian who died in 1999. Dr. Young Soon Kim channeled Lee's report.
According to the document, on the first Christmas of the new millennium the religious founders resolved and proclaimed:
- that God is the Parent of all humankind.
- that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is the Savior, Messiah, Second Coming and True Parent of all humanity.
- that the Unification Principle is a message of peace for the salvation of humanity and the gospel for the Completed Testament Age.
- that we will accomplish the peaceful unification of the cosmos through "living for others" while transcending religion, nationality and race, centering on true love.
- that we will harmonize with one another, unite and move forward, in order to bring about the nation of God and world peace, while attending True Parents.
The seminar was discussed by Rev. Moon in his September 16, 2002 sermon, True Father's Meeting with the 12 Christian Leaders
About Clouds of Witnesses: Don't you think that Father prayed deeply and calculated with great thought about the clouds revelation? Do you think that Jesus and the saints in the spirit world obey me? No. They obey God. Because God ordered them to do it they support me. They obey God. They didn't come together in the Spirit World just because Dr. Lee called them -- only because God called them.
Kim has reported on other spirit world seminars conducted by Lee, including those with St. Augustine, Lucifer, and one that brought together the 36 dead U.S. presidents, all of whom endorsed Rev. Moon.[1]
