Below is an excerpt from this week's Cutting Edge Newsletter regarding the coronation to crown Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

---

In the midst of so many signs that the appearance of Antichrist is close, Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his wife were crowned in a Messiah-type ceremony at the U.S. Senate Dirksen Building on March 23, 2004.

This ceremony proclaimed the revitalization of the United Nations and the beginning of a new era of "Global Governance". Incredibly, this event was not reported in any mainline news at the time, and has only been revealed this week. Let us review the story.

NEWS BRIEF: "Rev. Moon holds coronation at Capitol: Religious leader says he's here to 'save the world's 6 billion people' ", WorldNetDaily, June 14, 2004

"Dressed in a floor-length cape, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was dubbed the king of peace at a coronation ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building attended by several members of Congress. Moon is the founder of the Unification Church – currently known as The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. There were reportedly 81 members of Congress total at the event ... The religious leader, sounding like a self-proclaimed messiah, is quoted as saying: 'In the context of heaven's providence, I am God's ambassador, sent to earth with His full authority. I am sent to accomplish His command to save the world's 6 billion people, restoring them to heaven with the original goodness in which they were created'."

We have reviewed a 21-minute video clip of this event at: http://www.iifwp.org/media/media_crownofpeace.php

Let us now review the salient portions of this clip, for it reveals the true nature and purpose of this crowning event.

* A "Crown of Peace" Ceremony was held March 23, 2004, at the Dirksen Senate building in Washington, D.C.

* A world without national boundaries is about to begin. The world will be getting rid of war, striving for peace under God

* The world is now surmounting national and religious barriers. Such a world of peace is now upon us.

* The opening speech was given by a Baptist minister, Walter Faunteroy. Another speaker apologized to all Native Americans for the "Veil of Tears" through which our American ancestors forced them to pass. You see, "reconciliation" among all peoples is the recurring theme of this ceremony.

* A Jewish rabbi proclaimed that a miracle of religious unification had occurred at this meeting and blew his Shofar horn to proclaim the imminent coming of the "true Messiah".

* A speaker then read Moon's poem, "Crown of Glory", which he wrote as a 16-year-old boy. This poem proclaimed that anyone who spreads this gospel of global reconciliation and peace can be crowned with a "Crown of Glory". During the ceremony, numerous people were so crowned, including some American legislators.

* Another speaker proclaimed the Moon, a "man of God's own heart, who has come among us in the spirit of Jesus the Christ." It is time for America to open her heart to this one, because when the heart is opened, the mind follows. Moon and his wife are then mightily praised. These are some of the titles bestowed:

This last proclamation really caught my ear, for this is one of the titles reserved for Jesus Christ. However, throughout this clip, Jesus is really represented as only the local King of the Jews and the head of Christianity. He is never proclaimed as the World Messiah. Later in the clip, we saw demonstrations by Moon's group, "Heart to Heart" as they marched and demonstrated in Israel. In Jerusalem, a monotheistic ceremony was held (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) in which leaders from each of these religions presented a crown to Jesus, symbolized by placing such a crown in an empty chair. The moderator said that the first step in ending the Middle East conflict was to proclaim Jesus as the "King of the Jews".

Further, this moderator stated that the basis of the conflict in the Middle East was religious; therefore, religious reconciliation must occur before political solutions can be achieved. The clip then intoned, "the age-old question is 'Who is Jesus, really' "? By crowning Jesus as "King of the Jews", this question is supposedly answered so mankind can continue with its efforts to build a Global Governance, Peace, and Reconciliation. This "solution" was said to be very important for the success of the "Middle East Peace Initiative", a code word for the "Road Map" which President Bush and leaders of the European Union have been promoting for so very long.

This religious reconciliation is to occur between members of the Monotheistic Faiths, Judaism, Christianity, Islam. Once these three religions can reconcile, a peace breakthrough can occur in the Middle East.
