SUN MYUNG MOON:
PROPHET? MESSIAH?
How Can We Know?
Sun Myung Moon founded the Unification Church in South Korea.
Matt 24:4-5 “Take heed that no man deceive you, for many shall come in my name saying, ‘I
am the Christ,’ and shall deceive many.”
Matt. 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
John 8:47 “He that is of God, heareth the words of God.”
SERIOUS QUESTIONS RAISED BY REV. MOON’S TEACHINGS
I.
DENIAL OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH:
If some man other than Joseph fathered Jesus then Mary committed fornication.
Matthew 1:18-25
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found
with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing
to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought
on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph,
thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her
is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be
with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought
forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Luke 1:27-35
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the
virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw
him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this
should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with
God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call
his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the
Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the
house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto
the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said

unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshdow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God.
II.
DENIAL OF THE BODILY RESURRECTION:
Rev. Moon teaches people are physically reborn, not resurrection.
1Cor 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised,
your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Luke 24:36-43;
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them,
Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had
seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in
your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a
spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he
shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and
wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a
broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
John 20:19-20; 24-29;
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut
where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst,
and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them
his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord…
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25
The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them,
Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the
nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 26 And after eight days again his
disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither
thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side:
and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord
and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Acts 2:24-32
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible
that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord
always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore
did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in heades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see

corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy
with thy countenance. 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch
David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the
fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He
seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell,
neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are
witnesses.

MESSIAH (CHRIST) TO RETURN AS A MAN BORN IN KOREA?
Christ will come from heaven in the sight of all.
2Thess. 1:7-10
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from
heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not
God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe
(because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day.
2Thes 2:1-8
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by
spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no
man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away
first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with
you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed
in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now restrains will
restrain, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for
this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
1Thes. 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that
ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we
say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of
the Lord shall not precede them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up

together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1Thes 3:13
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our
Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
John 14:2-3
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Acts 1:9-11
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud
received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he
went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you
into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Revelation 1:5-7
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and
the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every
eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail
because of him. Even so, Amen

MESSIAH TO RETURN, MARRY, BEAR CHILDREN, AND LIVE ON EARTH
FOREVER?
This earth will pass away
Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Hebrews 12:25-27;
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that
spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from
heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once
more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth
the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things
which cannot be shaken may remain.
Heb. 1:10-12;
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens
are the works of thine hands: 11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall

wax old as doth a garment; 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be
changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
2Peter 3:5-13;
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old,
and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by
the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition
of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack
concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the
Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are
therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what
manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and
hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be
dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to
his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Revelation 20:11-15
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the
heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is
the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and
death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the
lake of fire.
Rev. 21:1
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away; and there was no more sea.

SECOND CHANCE AFTER DEATH?
No salvation after death.

Luke 16:26;
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which
would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from
thence.

Matthew 25:41-46;
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave
me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not
in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall
they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger,
or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer
them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous
into life eternal.
Rev. 14:9-11
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast
and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink
of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for
ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Shall we believe Rev. Moon or Jesus Christ? – You decide.
