Revelation 19:1-3

 

Revelation 19:1-3

19 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

I have heard that hell is just one big party and a lot of people think that their friends will be there to join the fun. Well, many friends and even family will be there. But there is no party. And there is total darkness there. Check out these passages:

• Matthew 8:12; 22:13; 25:30 — Jesus speaks of the wicked being “cast into outer darkness” Defending Inerrancy+1.

• Jude 1:13 — calls it “blackest darkness” GotQuestions.org+1.

• 2 Peter 2:14, 17 — describes the damned as reserved for “blackest darkness” Harvest.

Friends, can you imagine what waits there still for people that reject the ONE TRUE and Begotten Son of God?

I don't think we can in our wildest imaginations. I just know that we don't want to, nor do we want to join those that already know. 

If you don't know Jesus Christ-ask Him for forgiveness of your sin and turn from all that is evil, it's not by our strength, nor our power but only by thru God Himself that we will escape it.  He finished it on the cross for you and I. No human can take credit for what He has already done.

Again, thanks for coming, and please come back tomorrow where will head off in another direction of bible study. 

God bless you!

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

No one comes to the Father, but by Me.

More about the Unification Church:

The Unification Church (Korean: 통일교; RR: Tongilgyo), officially the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU; 세계평화통일가정연합; Segyepyeonghwatong Ilgajeong Yeonhab), is an Abrahamic monotheistic new religious movement, whose members are called Unificationists or sometimes informally Moonies. The Unification Church was founded in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon in Seoul, South Korea, as the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HSA-UWC; 세계기독교통일신령협회; Segyegidoggyotong Ilsinlyeonghyeobhoe); in 1994, the organization changed its name to the FFWPU. It has a presence in approximately 100 countries.^[3] The FFWPU's leader is Hak Ja Han, Moon's wife; Moon had previously co-led it until his death. The couple's followers honor them with the title "True Parents".^[

The book Divine Principle informs the beliefs of the Unification Church. Moon regarded himself the Second Coming of Christ and taught that he was appointed to complete Jesus Christ's unfinished business, which he claimed was left incomplete due to the crucifixion. This mission included establishing a new ideal family,^[5] and a larger human lineage, free from sin.^[6] The Unification Church is well known for its mass weddings, known as Blessing ceremonies.^[7] Its members have founded, owned and supported related organizations in business,^[8] education,^[9] politics^[10] and more.^[11] It has been referred to as South Korean nationalist.^[12] Its involvement in politics also includes anti-communism and support for Korean reunification.^[13][14][15]

The Unification Church has been accused of excessive financial exploitation of its members.^[3] It has been criticized for its teachings and for its social and political influence, with critics calling it a dangerous cult,^[16][17] a political powerhouse, and a business empire.^[18][19] In 2025, Han was arrested due to her links to Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife, Kim Keon Hee.^[20][21] In March 2026, the Tokyo High Court upheld a 2025 decision ordering the Unification Church to dissolve in Japan;^[22] in June 2026, Japan's Supreme Court confirmed the decision.^[23]

Popular terminologies

Main article: Moonie (nickname)

Moon did not originally intend to establish a separate church or denomination,^[24] and did not give his group of followers its official name, Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (세계 기독교 통일 신령 협회; Segye Gidoggyo Tong-il Sinryeong Hyeobhoe), until 1954.^[25] The informal name "Unification Church" (통일교; Tongilgyo) has been commonly used by members, the public and the news media.^[26] By 2018, the term "Unification Movement" was also widely used.^[27]

Moonies, the colloquial term for members,^[28] was first used in 1974 by some American media outlets.^[29] In the 1980s and 1990s, the Unification Church of the United States undertook an extensive public relations campaign against the use of the word by the news media.^[30][31] Many Unification Church members consider the word "Moonie" derogatory, despite originally being received neutrally.^[32] In other contexts, it is not always considered pejorative,^[33][34] as Unification Church members have used the word – including the president of the Unification Theological Seminary David Kim,^[35] Bo Hi Pak, Moon's aide and president of Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet of Korea,^[36] and Moon himself.^[37]

Moon and his wife, Hak Ja Han, are regarded by Unificationists as the "True Father" and "True Mother," respectively, and as "True Parents" collectively.

We are not going to spend a lot of time on this church as you can see. I just wanted to take a bit of time to check it out after finding out that the woman at the forefront calls herself the "only begotten daughter of God."  It is interesting to me to note that her husband decided he was the second coming of Jesus Christ and came to finish the work of Jesus. It sure sounds pretty suspicious, does it not-that he died September 3, 2012 of pneumonia. He claimed to finsh the work of Jesus, but haven't I read that when Jesus died on the cross, He had said, "It is finished. " Let's look at that verse and see for ourselves. Ah yes, this is it:

Jesus said "It is finished" on the cross, declaring the completion of His mission and the fulfillment of Scripture (John 19:30).

Biblical Context

The phrase “It is finished” appears in John 19:30, where Jesus, after receiving sour wine, said, “It is finished!” and then bowed His head and gave up His spirit (John 19:28-30 NKJV) BibleGateway.com+1. The Greek word used, tetelestai, literally means “paid in full”, signifying that the debt of sin owed by humanity was fully satisfied through His sacrificial death GotQuestions.org. This statement marks the culmination of His earthly mission to provide atonement for sin and reconcile humanity to God.

Theological Significance

1. Fulfillment of Scripture: Jesus’ declaration indicates that all prophecies and Old Testament foreshadowings concerning the Messiah were accomplished Christianity. His death completed the sacrificial system that had pointed to Him, ending the need for continual animal sacrifices Bible Study Online.
2. Completion of His Mission: Jesus had been sent to seek and save the lost and to provide atonement for all who believe in Him (Luke 19:10; Romans 3:23-25). By saying “It is finished,” He confirmed that His work of redemption was fully accomplished GotQuestions.org.
3. Victory Over Sin and Death: The statement also signifies that Jesus’ death defeated the power of sin and Satan, offering salvation to all who accept Him Bible Study Online+1. It is a declaration of triumph and the fulfillment of God’s plan for humanity.

Summary

When Jesus said, “It is finished,” He was not merely announcing the end of His physical suffering but proclaiming the completion of God’s redemptive plan. The phrase encapsulates the fulfillment of prophecy, the payment for sin, and the accomplishment of His divine mission, making it one of the most profound statements in Scripture.

Humm. That sort of settles it, right? At least it does for me. Sung Young Moon was not the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and neither is the work that his wife has carried on since his death. 

That makes the whole thing a cult. Does it not? And while it does, even though their wealth is not recorded, it was estimated that at the time of death, his net worth was in the hundreds of millions.  And take a look at what this report states:

Sun Myung Moon, In 1971, Moon moved to the United States and became well known after giving a series of public speeches on his beliefs. In the 1982 case United States v.he was found guilty of willfully filing false federal income tax returns and sentenced to 18 months in federal prison. His case generated protests from clergy and civil libertarians, who said that the trial was biased against him.

 I wonder how many miracles he did during his life? How did his life measure up to what Jesus did in his life while here. How many people did he heal or raise from the dead. Exactly what did he do to finish the work of Christ. 

Everything about he and his wife and church, is enough for me to believe it is all just a cult. Most of all, he called himself the second coming of Christ and claiming he came to finish the work of God's ONLY SON! And true parents? I think not.

The answers are clear on all of it. He did nothing. No doubt he is in a place now, that he didn't think he would ever end up. And sadly, many have and will follow him. 

There is a lot more we could learn about this cult, friends. But I think this is quite enough. Maybe you will want to continue to learn about it yourself, but I think I am going to take this blog on to something else. 

Since this is pretty long today, I am going to put today's scripture reading in another post, thus make two for today. So, thanks for coming by today and check out the scripture post in just a little while. Take care.
