I intended to convene at 9:00 AM, but was held up listening to reports. I was up until 3:30 AM listening to national reports.

Who will be responsible for the world? Material? People? Who will govern the world? Communism, where matter rules or humanism, where humans are the center? The ideology of theocracy is conflicted. Now history is hitting its final chapter. We must re-examine the very existence of God. When you recognize God you see He is not a conceptual God, but God is related to every aspect of life, every part of the universe. And God must be related to material, human history and everything which is related to the future. God will play an integral role in the future.

We have religion, but it has failed to relate God to all His creation. A movement that will survive and prosper at the end of the world must relate God to everything, past, present and future. The God-denying ideology has been prospering, but now is going down the drain and the God affirming ideology will take the lead.

If God is the God of history, He must have a plan, purpose and goal.

But why has God waited so long? There are too many people now, that makes it difficult to change. But history has been dividing, a history of division. In the end there must be unification in history. Why hasn’t it happened yet? Because of the divisive element in history. The reality of the Fall of Man is apparent in the anti-God force. Thus the necessity of religion. The battle is waged by God’s and Satan’s chosen champions on the earthly plane.

The basic question: is the subject matter or spirit, matter or history? The battle here is a reflection of the battle in the spiritual world between God and Satan. What is Satan’s strategy? He’s trying to take over the material and human world, plus lay obstacles in front of God’s dispensation. So the most crucial question is that of ownership.

Who legally owns the planet Earth? It belongs to Earth itself and to the Creator. There must come an ideology at the end of the world which says that humanity owns earth. But the evil god says he has to take over the earth. Great political leaders always wanted to take over the world mobilizing power to do so.

We must understand why Communism is evil. Satan is a spirit. He is following the path of God, to block God’s path. Religion is the primary battlefield. Religion is the tool of God to restore original ownership. Religion is Satan’s worst enemy. He abhors it the most. Satan needs a strategy to deny religion itself. Now humanity is in confusion. So many do not know of the existence of God. This is Satan’s purpose for Communism. Kicking God off the planet. So, the planet becomes Satan’s. This is the logical satanic strategy.

The fundamental credo of Communism is that god is matter; everything is matter. All spirit is illusion - poison. Communism has been booming, a hurricane covering the whole world. All are confused about the existence of God. Everyone declares, “God is dead.”

But God is reality. God had to come up with a strategy. The existence of God has to be reaffirmed by the religious world - that’s where we begin.

The second step is that if the earth belongs to God, then the people belong to God too. Communism sees this new ideology coming. They see that they cannot win anymore.

Who will inherit humanity? God himself? No - the representative of God should inherit humanity. Those who set the condition to expose and subjugate Satan should inherit. People who realize they are the chosen champions of God - on the individual, family, societal, national, world, etc. levels.

On December 7, 1984 Red China declared that Marxism-Leninism is antiquated - it is not the solution. Who will step in to represent the work of God? The democratic world? Americans have no vision, no global purpose and no concern for humanity. They are just “fun people.” American democracy has narrow goals - to govern the United States only. There is no global vision. So, Communism took over most of the world in just 67 years because they had a goal - a plan of action. If they win that is the end of the world. Thank God the Unification Church has emerged.

The religious world has no unified goal. It has no power to fight Communism. The Unification Church was set up by God with a universal plan, the welding of history. The free world’s worst problem is its bankruptcy of ideology. This is Communism’s strength. The Communist Party is supreme, it defines the goal and strategy.

The United states has no power to control Communism. The first thing we have to do is make a

declaration of the existence of God. But the United States is so corrupt spiritually that they don’t even know the existence of God. Papers, studies and books discuss it. Their conclusion: there seems to be no God. So, our first goal is God - it is to show to the world the existence of God; logically, with heart and commitment.

So far only Communism has had organized thought, dedicated to denying the existence of God. Our new ideology will overturn this and: 1) prove the existence of God and 2) defeat Marxism. We must convince the USA of such an ideology. This will revolutionize the American Christian community and then revolutionize the world.

Who has been opposing Reverend Moon? Christianity and then Communism. Actually Christianity has been surpassed by Communism in this. How long can Christianity continue to oppose me? How long can they afford to do this? They have come to the limit. They cannot go any further.

We have grown despite their opposition. Soon no government, including America, can control us.

What is God’s strategy to bring us to fruition? One possibility is that the USA retreats. Then the Free World will be exposed and defenseless. Christianity has been lazy, because the Unification Church has defended the Free World from Communism. But if we retreat, then they will realize the necessity of our movement.

Since entering Danbury Prison, Father has been waiting for the unity of all the ministers with us. What will be the consequences? Father organized all the minorities with one purpose. Christianity has turned around, CAUSA and South America have recognized that Father is the only hope. Also Africa, the Middle East, etc. know that Father alone can bring the solution - no other power can.

If Father is gone they immediately feel danger from Communism. My imprisonment in Danbury is a great opportunity and it has happened.

Religious freedom is the focal point of religion today. The IRS is looking at money from the religious community with secular bureaucratic thinking. They chose Reverend Moon as their first target. The religious community felt that the danger from the American government threatened them too.

Reverend Moon is the founder of the Religious Freedom Movement. It was a golden opportunity to move from the issue of religious liberty to the issue of Communism. Father grabbed it!

The USA and Communism have failed to win the third world. But the third world trusts Reverend Moon.

Father has organized the highest intellectual levels through the PWPA, etc. Politically we are changing South America. Also in Technology Father is in a supreme position with our Tongil Industries and our German machine factories. With the media it is the same. In the financial world, again, Father has a special interest.

Japan is important for the world’s future. Father the has highest influence there and in Korea, with more than seven million IFVOC [International Federation for Victory Over Communism] members. Politicians cannot ignore Father.

The USA is the next target or goal for IFVOC. Forty-five million - it will be easy. We already are united with minorities. And the Christian Church is coming. That’s way more than forty-five million.

Next is France.

Our organizational “Super structure,” PWPA, CAUSA [IFVOC], Tongil Industries, etc. will have all kinds of conferences, science conferences, media conferences, etc.

Unification Church leaders have never supported Father in this. But now all have realized what Father has achieved. Can we win the world by building up local centers? Skeptics of Unificationism are not changing.

World leaders are coming to serve Reverend Moon. Everyone respects Father’s ability to recruit young people - to inspire them. That they will perceiver and win no matter what.

Father has confidence because: 1) his young people are determined and will not give up; 2) we will have no resistance and the persecution will end. As Jesus said on the cross, “It is finished,” so Father will say when he comes out of Danbury, “It is finished.”

We must be able to read God’s timetable. Reverend Moon has the confidence to digest communism and the free world. The Religious Freedom Movement will die as soon as Father emerges from prison because it is all centered on Father. Father will shift gears to focus on CAUSA while he’s still in prison.

The USA must release Father from prison, apologize to him, and admit the injustice done to him. Father will not attack the US government the way a normal person who has been unjustly imprisoned would. Why? Because God needs the USA and Father is centered on God.

The US Government’s treatment of Reverend Moon is a historical matter, requiring historical judgment.
