God's warning to the world

by Sun Myung Moon

Reverend Moon is speaking as a prophet of God. The Prophet's role is to warn, to chastise, to guide, to interpret the Word of God to his contemporary society. The prophet has his primary authority from God, who is speaking through him, and often the message runs counter to social or religious norms safeguarded by religious institutions and theological schools. Reverend Moon is not a trained theologian, motivated by the desire to develop contemporary theological issues. Nor is he motivated by the desire to please this society. He is motivated solely by the desire to proclaim God's truth.
