“How Lovely Are Thy Tabernacles”
Hyo Jin Nim is spiritually observed prior to and during the helicopter crash of July 19, 2008
Since Hyo Jin Nim was spiritually observed prior to and during the helicopter crash of July 19, 2008, it has been interpreted that on July 19, 2008 (a date about four months after his ascension), Hyo Jin Nim played a significant role in the protection of sixteen people: our True Parents, three of their young grandchildren, three crew members and eight others accompanying them, the day True Father’s helicopter crashed near Cheongpyeong.

From the Report of Hyo-yul Peter Kim
True Father listens as Hyo-yul Peter Kim gives his report of the helicopter crash, from TwoRivers
In the excerpts below, Hyo-yul Peter Kim, one of the sixteen passengers onboard the helicopter the day of the crash, shares his personal experience and reports several miracles that indicate Heaven’s intervention in the protection of the lives of everyone onboard that aircraft when it went down.
The above image is a frame from the PeaceTV video “Returning from the Brink of Death, the Helicopter Accident and the Miracle”
On July 20th (one day after the accident) Kim Young-ho, a Korean movie director, spoke at a movie festival in the city of Puchun where 180 movie directors were attending a seminar. He described to them his fantastic experience just the day before when he was fishing at the lakeside of the Cheongpyeong Training Center with a friend. It was around 5:00 pm. In the sky there suddenly appeared a big white helicopter flying over them. It was a cloudy and rainy day, but both he and his companion saw the helicopter riding on a beautiful rainbow. There was no sunshine then, so they were wondering how this beautiful rainbow appeared so clearly to them.
The above image is a frame from the PeaceTV video “Returning from the Brink of Death, the Helicopter Accident and the Miracle”
More fantastically, they saw hundreds of white robed angels with white wings. They thought these were pigeons at the first sight. But they were real! They were flying with the helicopter, holding it, embracing it, surrounding it.
This image depicts the eyewitness account of Kim Young-ho, who reports that on July 19, 2008, he saw True Parents’ helicopter being supported in the sky by many angels. (This image is a detail of the image found on page 5 of Peter Kim’s report at Two Rivers).
They were completely shocked at what they were witnessing and didn’t know if it was a dream or if it was really happening. Soon after, they heard a loud crash. Later they heard on the TV news that Rev. Moon’s helicopter had crashed with 16 people in it. Neither Kim Young-ho nor his friend are Unification Church members, and in fact, the movie director had never even seen Rev. Moon in his life.

continuing Hyo-yul Peter Kim’s report
An old Korean grandmother who claims to be a Unification Church member—though she hardly knows what’s currently going on in the Church—saw Hyo-jin nim in her dream embracing a white helicopter. It was a few days before the accident when she saw this. Since she didn’t know even that Hyo-jin nim had already passed into the spirit world, she thought that the church must have a helicopter toy factory.
God’s mysterious work
We, who are aware of God’s providential work and True Parents’ critical importance in it at this time of the era of the fourth Adam, can interpret these spiritual testimonies. We can clearly see how much God and spirit world worked to protect True Parents. Just as at the time of Jesus’ birth three wise men from the east who did not have anything to do with Jesus followed the star to show their respect to the birth of the Messiah, these two movie makers, non-believers of True Parents, clearly testified to this miracle. Also, we can interpret the grandmother’s dream that Hyo-jin nim, from the spirit world, protected True Parents from harm. There are many more testimonies and stories like this which will be eventually revealed.
What I can conclude at this point is that this crash was not an ordinary accident. It was providential. Because I know that the True Parents are truly the manifestation of God on earth, it is my conviction that Father and Mother had to set a condition to sacrifice their lives on behalf of all the blessed couples who have not been able to accomplish their providential responsibilities. Just like the time when Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac as an offering to God, God accepted Abraham’s condition as a genuine one and saved Isaac’s life. By going through the crash, God already accepted the condition set by True Parents and gave their lives back to us. I firmly believe that because of this providential helicopter accident, the providence will make a quantum leap and move on towards a higher dimension for the realization of God’s ideal.
From the Report of Hyung Jin Nim
Hyung Jin Nim describes the helicopter crash on July 28, 2008 This picture is a frame from the video at TwoRivers.
Hyung Jin Nim, in his July 26, 2008 account of what happened during the helicopter accident—somewhat different from Hyo-yul Peter Kim’s account above, twice notes Hyo Jin Nim’s contribution (from the Spiritual Realm) towards the safety of the passengers:
From page 10:
If that helicopter did not strike that oak tree—as I explained there are two inclines, there’s a flat place where they landed—if it did not hit the oak tree, it would not have slowed the helicopter down. Within 0.3 seconds, it would have jumped; it was heading straight forward. Up on the second platform is a rock the size of this piano. In 0.3 seconds it would have struck that rock, and the percentage [likelihood] of the fuselage exploding is extremely high, if a rock strikes that metal body.
Because of that oak tree … it spun the helicopter, slowed it down… then the Y tree, then the soft mountain and then the put down (to the ground). You see, brothers and sisters, I call that first tree “Hyocha Namu,” filial piety tree.
When we think about True Family, we lost Hyo Jin Hyung this year, and you know, despite all his own circumstances and the things that he had to overcome in his life, he had a filial heart for True Parents. That was undeniable. Nobody would deny that, and he truly offered his life as a condition; we believe that it was a sacrifice. He conditionally sacrificed himself. If he did not go just a couple of months ago, True Parents would have been in tremendous danger. …
Hyung Jin Nim speaking January 31, 2008 a photo from FFWPU Korea
From pages 11 and 12:
We saw in this crash so many incredible miracles. But we really saw that if it did not hit that oak tree, which I always call Hyo Jin Hyung’s tree, that’s Hyo Jin Hyung’s tree … with his power he stopped that thing. He stopped it! And as it came down, next was a Y - tree. The Y - tree was Young Jin Hyung, I believe it. Why? It’s a Y. He caught that tail! (Applause) That soft hill was Heung Jin Hyung. He is a soft guy, you know. He caught those blades, boom, boom, boom! They were all doing Kung Fu training that day! (Laughter). Oh my God! Just incredible, absolutely incredible!
So when this was all happening, there were some movie directors taking vacation on Cheong Pyeong Lake, a couple of movie directors, famous people in Korea. They look up; they see the helicopter coming down. We got a call at the HQ from this movie director. And they tell us, “We have a testimony for you. I saw something when I was fishing near Cheong Pyeong Lake.” This is not our member, do you understand? He is not a Unificationist.

He calls us and tells us:
“I was fishing with my buddy (friend) and we saw this helicopter coming. We did not know who was in there, but I had a vision. All of a sudden I saw the helicopter encircled in (surrounded by) a lotus flower rainbow.”
Doves in Flight picture source
He’s telling us this. And he said, “And then I saw all these things in white, flying around this helicopter.” And he said, “First I thought they’re birds. I thought they were birds.” But I said, “How many doves are there in the sky today, flying near a helicopter?”
Lotus image source
And he said that he looked closer and that he saw people, forms, white garb, holding the lotus flower, and heading towards the Cheon Jeong Goong (Peace Palace). This is the man calling us.

We had another sister that had a dream that Hyo Jin Nim was holding helicopters, was catching helicopters, just a couple of days before. He was a baby and he was catching little helicopter toys! He was practicing!

So we heard all these things. The movie director came to the HQ. We have his testimony on video. He brought also his friend, an actor here in Korea, who also gave his testimony. He saw rainbows in the sky that day.

And also very interesting: Ki Byung Ajoshi, who flew and flopped on top of Sang Soo Ajoshi, said that right before the impact, he saw Hyo Jin Hyung at the front of the plane [helicopter]. He said that he saw Hyo Jin Hyung at the front of the plane!
You see, we can see all these things, tremendous miracles, from the cutting of the trees to the miraculous landing, the hit of the oak tree that saved them from striking the huge rock, the Y - tree stopping the helicopter spinning, then all the blades rotating at tremendous velocity into the hill, then the opening of the latch.
The above report comes from this link: p. 11 of 15 pages, where you can find and listen to Hyung Jin Nim’s entire message of July 26, 2008.
In this July 26th message, we hear how grateful True Father was that he survived this crash This report by Hyung Jin Nim comes from p. 7 of 15 pages:
So we did Hoon Dok Hae with True Parents. Sun Jin Ah, as soon as she saw True Parents, she’s grabbing True Father’s hand, and we’re massaging his feet, saying, “Father, why are you flying in that weather?” Massaging his feet we said, “My God! A joy to massage your feet!” Mother, we’re just holding her, kissing her, hugging her, hugging True Parents, hugging Father, kissing Father, saying,
“Oh my God! It’s a miracle. It’s a miracle!” … “It’s a miracle from God!”
and I saw him putting his hands together, “A miracle from God!” He was “lifting heaven” (with the movements of his arms); he was lying in his bed, doing “bench pressing heaven” (with his arms again). He was saying,
“God, have mercy! God is good!”

The Ancestors perform on January 31, 2009
For a part of the entertainment for the celebration of True Parents’ Birthday in the United States, the singing group Ancestors were among the performers. In his report and request for testimonies about this event, Rev. Michael Jenkins, President of FFWPU USA said:
What did Joe Longo’s band make you feel - it was Hyo Jin Nim’s band and they kept the vision.
Image source Angelika Selle, Pastor of the New Hope Family Church of Landover Hills, Maryland, USA, who was often performing at the same events as Hyo Jin Nim in the 1980’s, reported here about her experiences at the Manhattan Center on January 31, 2009 (used with permission):
It was my great honor and privilege to be a part of the New Hope Singers to sing for our True Parents on their 90th and 67th birthdays!
First of all, it was a brilliant idea inspired by Heaven that In Jin Nim brought Brian Saunders back to lead and conduct us. We had sung those very songs in 1990 for Father’s 70th birthday. Brian is one of the best, most skilled conductors, and he also represents so much of the history of our American movement.
Throughout our rehearsals and the days leading up to the birthday, I felt that the entire spirit world was preparing with us and wanted to be a part of honoring God and True Parents, using our voices and bodies.
During our first performance on January 31, it was as if our voices were carried by angels and heaven, especially since many of our throats were hoarse from practicing. There was only one thing on our minds: to bring joy to our great Father and Mother.
One time during the entertainment celebration, when our choir was standing in the drafty hallway to wait for our cue to go onstage, I heard Joe Longo’s voice from afar, and I felt the spirit and presence of Hyo Jin Nim in the hallway. Tears came down, tears of joy and gratitude, that his legacy continues here at the Manhattan Center.

Hyung Jin Nim appeals in prayer to his brothers in the Spiritual World
Hyung Jin Nim in prayer TwoRivers 2009
In her January 31, 2009 talk about Cheong Seong (Cheong Seong refers to “one’s true heart; sincerity; devotion; earnestness”) and the Cheon Bok Gung, the World Peace Temple, Mrs. Baek Sun Ja related the following:
I wish to speak a little about Hyung Jin Nim’s love for Cheon Bok Gung. One of the things he said when he was inaugurated as the Senior Pastor was that he wanted to make the Unification Movement shine proudly. He observed every corner of the Headquarters Church and planned the decoration for our members. He always encourages the members so we can be proud and confident of being members of the Unification Church. When Hyung Jin Nim received the mission of the 20,000, and then the 210,000 membership foundation, he was very surprised. It was again, through Cheong Seong that he was able to come to bear this responsibility.
He appealed to his three elder brothers, Hyo Jin Nim, Heung Jin Nim and Young Jin Nim without rest before the altar, and received an answer in the end. …
He said that this Cheon Bok Gung will represent God’s glory for generations to come, be praise to True Parents’ name, and elevate the Unification Movement. He raised both hands up high, shouted og-mansei, and he was so very happy. The Temple had been blessed as a house to share fortune with all people of the world.
From Hyo Jin Nim’s message January 14, 2008: “Keeping Yourself Motivated”
This January 2004 photo of Hyo Jin Nim (a detail) comes from this group at FFWPU Korea.
Here are excerpts from Hyo Jin Nim’s words to brothers and sisters gathered for his Sunday Service message January 14, 2007
How do you motivate yourself? Like I said, it’s up to you to like being a crusader. For that you have to look at things a little bit differently. Then you can find value in it. It doesn’t take much, just a thought sometimes. That’s all it takes. You don’t need to ask somebody’s permission. You don’t need someone else’s validation if you can find through that—just a small thought alone—that you can give to yourself that even for the moment that you see that light, that you see that little moment of OK.
It doesn’t matter if it’s just a jolt, or like a caffeine high. It doesn’t matter if it is just a little jolt if you can find usage for it. That’s something, because that’s all it takes to make something great. …
So if you have something that you want to achieve because you have chosen a life of faith, then make sure that you get good at motivating other people. I know that you don’t have a lot of money, so what else can you do then? The other (leading by sacrificial example).
Those things can happen after 2012 because it’s going to start all over again from the bottom up. It’s a tall order to find a nation by that time. If it doesn’t? I know that’s going to happen, but it’s a different time. We’re going to do it the right way, the twenty-first century way, doing twenty-first century ecumenical work. There is a way to do it. We won’t have to knock on doors. We’ll already be in the living room (through multimedia). …
It’s difficult to find the way. We have problems fundraising, witnessing and maintaining. [Will we complete God’s nation in just] five years? Are you kidding me? I know Father needs… In my mind it will take about ten generations, but he’s going to do what he’s going to do. … We will keep on going, right?
Communication from Hyo Jin Nim Since His Ascension

Here are three excerpts from a channeled message from Hyo Jin Nim in the Spirit World delivered through an anonymous medium on December 18, 2008 in New Zealand:
I can apologize for not being a man of great love. I can work with the saints of heaven to improve my love. I can improve my character. Yet Father still speaks of me as a son of loyalty and filial piety. Why do some members think that I still need to go through a course of improvement? Do they think that my gruffness and coarse language meant I had a poor spirit? We don’t have to get stuck judging each other. If you want to label me a misfit, I’m sorry, but that is not reality. If I am such a misfit, I shouldn’t be the Lord who opens the gate.
One thing that gives me hope is to see the result of True Parents’ investment. I have been reading his hidden files, and all that I’ve read, all I’ve discovered about him, gives me hope. We are not living on a dying planet. We are living on a resurrecting planet. We may not witness the subtleties of resurrection around us, but I can certainly witness them, and I do. They are brought to me as reports, from prayers, and I see them through my personal investigation.
What is the way for you on earth to get to the high realms of heaven? It is quality service. Not service—quality service. Sooner or later you have to come into the reality that quality service includes providing love and investing in people.
A lot of people have changed their blood lineage, and they will leave a changed blood lineage behind, but they will be in the bottom of hell until I come and invite them to the gate and ask them to camp with the rest of the squatters who are not really qualified to be there. They are only just in the gate because of change of blood lineage. They are not anywhere deep beyond the gate because their standard of love is very low, and their standard of living for the sake of others is almost negligible.
Am I talking about the people who received conditional redemption by holy candy, or about Blessed couples who can’t express love to anyone? Both. That’s true. I’ve seen people who had enormous positions of leadership unable to move beyond the squatters who received the Blessing by the holy candy. That’s shameful. But when you ask who will stand up for this person to speak for him, everybody turns his back and walks the other way. That leader left behind a love deficit. Can you imagine what I might mean by “love deficit”?
What about those people who arrive with a love profit? They have achieved something incredible within their being as a result of having lived a loving life. In other words, their offering was evaluated as not only pure, not only providing beauty back to True Parents, but also providing love to God. They are the people who constantly comforted God. They are the families that never sought something for themselves but really sought, before anything else, to bring the blessings of God to their community. Those people can go straight to the vistas immediately. They are escorted in the gate and up the beautiful drive to the 5-star hotels and the spas.
Father says that I will open the gate. I want to report to you that I am opening the gate.

From True Father’s Prayer on April 18, 2008
True Parents show their love and respect to Hyo Jin Nim, offering him flowers March 18, 2008, a detail of this photo from this FFWPU Korea group
Here is an excerpt from True Father’s prayer on April 18, 2008:
Until now, the spiritual world was divided into two, the Cain realm and the Abel realm.
Heung Jin has worked very hard as the main responsible person, united with True Parents. From now on, Hyo Jin as the elder brother will cooperate with Heung Jin and even help the people who are living in the most miserable environment.
Hyo Jin is called “The Lord of loyalty, filial piety and the liberation of the whole spiritual world” in the position of True Parents in the spiritual world.
Through the unity of both (Heung Jin Nim and Hyo Jin Nim) the resurrection of spiritual beings will be easier and quicker. We pray from the bottom of heart, that through them the physical world and the spiritual world will be united in harmony and love, and that the glory of God and the future glory of the True Children will be exposed.
We also pray from the bottom of heart that the period of realization will be much shorter so that God becomes the owner and the king of kings and reigns the whole cosmos directly.
From True Father’s Words on October 12, 2008
Hyo Jin Nim, March 2005 larger
On October 12, 2008, True Father said:
We must understand the value of the True Family. We must remember that the Israelites had to put the blood of the lamb on their door. You must receive and accomplish this same kind of condition.
The blood of True Parents’ son protects you and opens the way to the heavenly fulfillment of our responsibility. When Hyo Jin Nim went to the spirit world, I labeled him as the Son of Filial Piety to open the way to the Garden of Heaven. Hyo Jin Nim’s sacrifice was a condition to protect the blessed central families.
