God's Message to the United Nations

My beloved Children!

I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts.*

I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts.

I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts.

The endless, thorny path, a path of everlasting endurance and patience over the tens of thousands of years I have sought my beloved children has been a path of blood and tears that I, Jehovah, have shed.

I, Jehovah, Lord of hosts, am your parent, the father of all humanity. I am the parent of humanity, my children, my beloved children!

My dear children! I have cried out for you through endless nights for tens of thousands of years. I have yearned to call out your names and have called for you time and again. Yet, the words "dear children" have been ensnared for tens of thousands of years, so that even though I cried out for you, and my cries echoed around the world, you have been deaf to my calling. Can you understand even a little of this parent's heart, my heart, as I have has wandered around looking for my children?

My beloved children, my children participating in the United Nations! Even though your skin colors, characters, languages and cultures are different, in my eyes all of you are equally my children. All of you are beloved children of God; you are brothers and sisters who must love each other.

Imagine how I must have felt as I watched brothers and sisters live separated from each other, hating each other, fighting and killing each other with swords, guns, missiles and brute force. Now, I hope all of you will realize deep down in your hearts that each and every one of you are incarnations of me who are very precious to me.

My children! My beloved children! What would you do if you were to see a child of God, one of your brothers or sisters, dying of hunger? Can't you be done with the past, in which you have lived thoughtlessly, and think of me as your parent, believe in me and follow me? Can you imagine your Lord God's countless days filled with grief and sadness as I have waited for tens of thousands of years with endurance and patience?

United Nations! Wake up. Stand up! Now, you must hold hands and become leaders and fighters in establishing the Kingdom of God. Then wouldn't the people of the world, among whom a vast gap exists between rich and poor, become brothers and sisters who would help and support each other and share everything they have?

I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts.

I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts.

I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts.

I ask you, I plead with all my heart for you to find the right path and follow it before more of the spirits of my beloved children fall ill.

Participants in the United Nations! What would you do if the sound of your children's wailing and moaning from hell rang in your ears? I wouldn't mind going barefoot on a path that is tens of thousands of miles long if I could save my children. I would run down that path in one breath. I have been going down that path for the last tens of thousands of years.

I have been a God of grief, a God of sadness, a God of waiting and a God of pain and suffering. If all the days of the tens of thousands of years could be tied together with a single thread, it would be made of only blood and tears. Look at history to the present day. Look back at our history. How is it possible to express in words everything that has happened in history?

My children who are participating in the United Nations! The problems that are obstacles to attaining peace for all of humankind cannot be solved by force alone. That is completely impossible. I have specially sent Rev. Sun Myung Moon, my beloved son, and the True Parent, as the Messiah to all humanity, so believe in him and unite based on his teachings. If you do so, you will feel, deep down in your hearts, that I am your parent and your father even though you cannot see or touch me.

Listen to the inner voice in your heart. You will hear it echo, "God, my father, please be with me always!" I am asking all of you, my beloved children, with all my heart to shoulder the many problems in your nations and solve them. I ask you to bear in mind always that the people of the whole world are one big family of brothers and sisters. Reflect on my heart, the heart of a parent who has to teach his own children, "I am your father." Think deeply about it.

Jehovah, Lord of hosts*

1) George Washington (1789-1797)
First President of the United States

I, George Washington, am deeply moved to learn through Mr. Sang Hun Lee the identity of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, learn about Rev. Moon's accomplishments and philosophy, and come to a realization that he has appeared as the Messiah. I was introduced to poignant content, including the course of Rev. Moon's turbulent life and suffering that led to his ascension to the position of the True Parent of humankind, his bloody battle with Satan to discover the Divine Principle, his providential victories, and the circumstances of God as he oversaw the historical time periods that existed in parallel from ages past. In particular, I came to the realization that the Messiah is giving unlimited love to the people of the United States, and is offering the most profound sincerity and dedication in order to guide humankind to the philosophy of peace. Yet the people of America are greatly lacking in sincerity and dedication in attending the Messiah. I realize that the American people are blessed by the mere fact that the Messiah is present on American soil. Yet, they appear unable to realize this deeply. I am deeply distressed over this.

The government and people of the United States should accept the philosophy and teachings of the Messiah. They must realize this is a blessing God has given to America. For what purpose did America become the strongest nation in the world? You should remember that when your ancestors founded America, they began by attending God, recognizing him as being the highest pinnacle. But what is your situation now? America must repent. Examine the direction in which you should be going, and the reality of where you are going. Will God guide you to the path of eternal blessing? Only if the people of America repent and receive guidance in the teachings of the Messiah will America become God's eternal Eden.

George Washington; June 9, 2002

2) John Adams (1797-1801)
Second President of the United States

I met a most precious person here in the world after death. That person is Mr. Sang Hun Lee, an invaluable person of noble character, who is worthy of great trust. When I first met this man, it was not through a motivation of faith. We were in a place piled with books, and each of us was looking for some books when we happened to bump into each other. This was the beginning of our relationship. He greeted me as we were arranging a large number of books. He said, "I am not in a hurry, so you can go ahead. He said he would take his time in arranging the books. I felt attracted to this gentle and humble man. In the process of our discussing a number of different subjects, I came to hear the Divine Principle and Unification Thought. Mr. Lee told me that his life had changed through numerous dimensions as he lived steeped in the teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. He had left his position as a medical doctor and lived absorbed in the words of Rev. Moon and the Divine Principle before coming here. When America was founded, God was truly with us. This is quite apparent in the nation's founding spirit. Now, though, I begin to think that God may turn away from America. I hope that the people of America will quickly realize that they are committing a great error. As I learn the Divine Principle, Unification Thought, and the philosophy of peace of Rev. Sun Myung Moon here, my earnest hope is that America will return to the form of Eden, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth that God has desired to see. For this, it is necessary that the people of America follow the teachings of Rev. Moon. I earnestly hope that leaders in all aspects of American life will not waste a single day in accepting the global philosophy of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, and that God will not leave America.

John Adams; June 9, 2002

3) Thomas Jefferson (1797-1801)
Third President of the United States; Author of the Declaration of Independence

A great saint, the Messiah, has been born in the calm country of Korea, so I shall speak from my heart with the desire that the bright light from the East shine on all people. The founding spirit of America is second to that of no other country in the world. I take pride in that. Yet in this place, the world after death, I am quite envious of the people of Korea, a calm and quiet country. Where is there any peace or happiness for the people of America, vexed by philosophical and racial struggle, and by numerous incidents of terror? The Messiah, the True Parent of humankind, brings the philosophy of peace for the sake of the world. See what happens when the leaders of America accept these teachings. See what happens when America no longer seeks after only her pride as the strongest country externally but makes an unbiased examination of herself to see what she has done for peace in the world.

People of America, rise again. Return to the nation's founding spirit. Follow the teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the Messiah to all people, who has appeared in Korea. There is no inconsistency between our founding spirit and his teachings. Well-known presidents and kings from history are excited by the greatness of his philosophy of peace.

America, rise again. Make America the land of God's new truth and new hope. That is the mission America is called to fulfill in this age.

Thomas Jefferson; June 10, 2002

4) James Madison (1809-1817)
Fourth President of the United States; Father of the U.S. Constitution

-I earnestly hope America will not lose its status as an eternally powerful country-

I waited a long time for an opportunity for Madison's message to be conveyed to earth. I believe that since America's founding, many countries have recognized its position and self-respect as a rich and powerful country. Today, however, the people of America have almost forgotten America's founding, spirit. Was the Constitution established just to maintain a single country? The Constitution must be obeyed for as long its people shall live. But when people leave their lives on earth, they must all come here, the spirit world, without exception, in accordance with the way of Heaven. So, even on earth, people must obey the way of Heaven. There is something that people must fulfill for the sake of their eternal lives in the spirit world. All the people of America must follow the teachings in the Unification Thought and Divine Principle of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who is the returning Lord in this age and the Messiah. I earnestly hope that the people of America will be active participants in and cooperate with the unification movement, which deals with both heaven and earth, and carefully study the Divine Principle and Unification Thought so that America will not lose its status as an eternally powerful country. This is my final conclusion as one who has studied Divine Principle and Unification Thought several times here.

James Madison; June 8, 2002

5) James Monroe (1817-1825)
Fifth President of the United States

-Study the Divine Principle and Unification Thought diligently-

While people are living on earth, fame, power, and wealth probably seem very important. Most people have lived as if their earthly lives would last forever, and continue to live so now. I, James Monroe, have experienced a time of indescribable inspiration here. I have learned through a new expression of truth called Divine Principle that God is the parent of all of us, and that the Rev. Sun Myung Moon has appeared on earth as the Messiah after a history of restoration through indemnity involving many complicated circumstances, and is extending the hand of salvation to humanity. To realize that the Messiah is giving tremendous grace to people on earth makes me feel jealous toward them. From another viewpoint, I also cannot help feeling disappointed with them. People on earth seem to know almost nothing about life in the spirit world. It makes no difference whether one is the president of a country, a person of low birth, or a beggar. We are all God's children. What use is fame or power in a relationship between a parent and his children, and how can there be rich and poor people among brothers and sisters? Most people of America live comfortably, so they cannot experience the poverty and hunger of other people, and they most likely have not thought about life in the spirit world. You must study about your life in the afterlife, and take an interest in this. Study the Divine Principle and Unification Thought of Rev. Sun Myung Moon carefully. I request this earnestly as a person who was once responsible for the people of America and as one who has come here before you.

James Monroe; June 12, 2002

6) John Quincy Adams (1825-1829)
Sixth President of the United States; Son of President John Adams, the second President

-The American people must return to the founding spirit of America-

As one of those who have been responsible for the people of America, I would like to impress upon them that life on earth is very brief. It is an overly common phenomenon that people, during their lives on earth, are not concerned with their lives in the next world. It seems that there are not many people who truly understand that people were created to live on earth for just a fleeting moment and then come here, the spirit world, to live eternally. Compared to the eternal spirit world, life on earth is extremely short. During your lives on earth, you must thoroughly prepare yourselves to live eternally here in the spirit world. Fame, power and property must not be the standard of values for people living on earth. Fame during your life on earth will not bring you special treatment here. Your life here in the spirit world will be determined by your standard of values during your life on earth. I have a request to make to you who are on earth. I would like you to study about Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who is carrying out the Unification Movement on earth, and follow his teachings. If you study the Divine Principle carefully, you will come to a conclusion about how you must live your life. I make this request because I once loved America as the person who was responsible for that nation. Her people must return to the founding spirit of America.

John Quincy Adams; June 13, 2002

7) Andrew Jackson (1829-1837)
Seventh President of the United States

I am convinced that Rev. Sun Myung Moon is a prophet, the Messiah, the returning Lord, and True Parent of humankind sent by God. His teachings, the Divine Principle and Unification Thought, and his accomplishments are sufficient proof of this. His teachings are the only path for humankind to follow in this age. Moreover, when I see how God has guided the history of the providence of restoration, I firmly believe that Rev. Moon is the Savior of all humankind who is leading the Completed Testament Era. I earnestly request that the people of America receive the thorough ideological guidance of Rev. Moon's truth and attend him. He is the true leader of all humankind. God is the True Parent of humankind, so all people are brothers and sisters. This is a universal truth of this age that will begin based on true families. The people of America will be able to have a vision for their nation's future only when they follow his teachings.

I have come to realize with certainty that a life of wealth and fame on earth is of no use in any place or in any situation here. You must consider what you would do if you were to come here now, rather than in the distant future. If I had taught people about the world where the soul lives while I was president, then I probably could have been treated as a president here as well. Through the Divine Principle, I have come to realize the greatness of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. I am deeply moved. I have repented and cried tears like a waterfall. I have also realized that I was an ignorant leader. I have bitterly repented for failing to awaken the American people to the reality of our eternal life. Even belatedly, I would like to convey this information to them. On several occasions God has appeared here as jubilant rays of light or as a dazzling rainbow. In these mysterious and emotional experiences, all of us were deeply moved by God and greeted him with applause. We repented of our past in tears and participated in the Divine Principle seminar.

People of America! Life on earth is a fleeting moment. I hope you will start now to prepare yourselves for life in the eternal world. Do not forget even for a second the fact that Rev. Sun Myung Moon is the Messiah, the True Parent and a true teacher for humankind, and follow his guidance faithfully.

Andrew Jackson; June 16, 2002

8) Martin Van Buren (1837-1841)
Eighth President of the United States

-People on earth must receive the Messiah's direct guidance-

I candidly accept that I failed to accomplish my responsibility as the father of the nation when I was on earth. I also confess that I did not even comprehend my own existence on earth. Until now I have lived here in the spirit world experiencing numerous mental struggles and much agony over these responsibilities. How could I have lived in such ignorance as to not realize that God's eternal aspect resides within human nature and that there exists another world that is vast and eternal? God, who is our parent and who wants to live together with us for eternity, has always existed and has constantly given us his silent instructions and guidance. Words cannot describe how ashamed I am or how much I reproach myself for completely neglecting this fact. I came to know these things for a certainty through the Divine Principle.

I want to be sure to take this opportunity to tell the people on earth one thing. That is that the spirit world where every person must live forever exists for a certainty. Those who do not prepare themselves on earth for life in this world are certain to face suffering and pain here. I hope that you will come here after having walked the correct path on earth. The quickest way to do so is to receive the instructions of the Messiah, who is on earth. The Messiah in this age is Rev. Sun Myung Moon. He was sent by God. Please never forget this point.

Martin Van Buren; June 17, 2002

9) William Henry Harrison (1841)
Ninth President of the United States; Died after one month in office

-Divine Principle taught me the true meaning and value of life and its direction-

Anyone who, within his lifetime, is able to know God and his ideal is the most fortunate of all people. Human beings should live their lives in a state of understanding the true value of life, but most people do not know this. I, Harrison, have deeply understood the true standard of value for life after having studied the Divine Principle in this place. The Divine Principle is a precious message to the people in this age that was revealed by Rev. Sun Myung Moon. He is the Messiah sent by God, the Savior, True Parent, and a great prophet for humanity.

He is the true son of God whom all humanity, not only Americans, must attend and follow. It would be impossible for me to explain all these things, and even if I did you would not understand. You should study the Divine Principle. If you do, you will come to realize clearly the fundamentals of life and the direction it must go. While you are on earth, prepare for the world where you must live for eternity. To do this, you must study the teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, receive his instructions and inherit the lineage of God.

William Harrison; June 18, 2002

10) John Tyler (1841-1845)
Tenth President of the United States; Succeeded to the presidency upon the death of President Harrison

-Thank you for revealing Heaven's secrets-

It was intended that every aspect of human life on earth be directly related to God, but people have lived in ignorance of this fundamental truth. I have never denied God's existence, but the message that "God is the parent of humankind" is one that I truly had never even imagined. The instant that the Divine Principle lecturer spoke the words, "God is the parent of humankind," a dazzling ray of light shone into the lecture room from somewhere above. It calmed all of our hearts and fascinated us. We welcomed this with applause, yet at the same time we wept many tears.

God enveloped us in this resplendent light, and said in a loud voice,

"I am the almighty Jehovah, God, and your parent."

Then he said in a soft and clear but deeply sorrowful voice,

"I am your parent."

After speaking these words he again moved around the lecture room in the ray of light, and then departed. Everyone in the lecture room felt reverence toward what had happened, and we spent a few moments in silent meditation. I am truly grateful to Rev. Sun Myung Moon on earth, the Messiah, Savior, and True Parent of humankind.

How hard you must have worked in order to reveal such amazing truths. True Parents, you have revealed the secrets of Heaven and the deep and difficult providence of suffering that was hidden behind a veil. Please lead not just the people of America but all humankind to the truth of the Divine Principle.

John Tyler; June 20, 2002

11) James Polk (1845-1849)
Eleventh President of the United States

-The True Parents of humankind have appeared and are guiding us-

In the course of a person's life, the time spent on earth is only a short moment. Yet when people are alive on earth, they think that their momentary earthly life will last forever. I attended the Divine Principle seminar here in the spirit world in a considerably good environment, being treated well in an atmosphere of piety. This is a place where only intellectuals and presidents, kings and others of considerable stature are present. Here I have received instruction in Divine Principle, Unification Thought, the life course of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, God's situation, as well as the creation of human beings, the fall and the providence of restoration.

People of America, do you think you know what kind of places heaven and hell are? As long as you are in your physical bodies, you most likely cannot even imagine. If there is one earnest message that I would give to the people on earth, it would be that Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who is on earth, is working based on the theme, "God is the parent of humankind," and that he is the Messiah, the True Parent of all humankind who has appeared to guide us. You must never forget this fact. You must carefully study the True Parents' philosophy and truth. These are the conclusions I have reached in the spirit world.

James Polk; June 25, 2002

12) Zachary Taylor (1849-1850)
Twelfth President of the United States

-We are all strongly resolved to be absolutely obedient to the teachings of the true teacher-

All of our desires, hopes, and joys are almost useless after we have shed our physical bodies. The revelation that God our creator is the parent of humankind is an incredible event that is of greater value than the spiritual and physical worlds put together. I do not think there has ever been a more precious, magnificent, and shocking event in all of human history. I was once the president and leader of a great nation. But that has no meaning here. After losing my physical body, I thought deeply and wept many tears here while reflecting on the value of my brief earthly life.

Rev. Sun Myung Moon, as the Savior of humankind, the Messiah and True Parent has brought a new light of hope not only to the people of America but also to the entire human race. So let us all make a strong determination to live in absolute obedience to the teachings of the true teacher. I earnestly ask that the people of America follow the guidance of True Parents absolutely.

Zachary Taylor; July 31, 2002

13) Millard Fillmore (1850-1853)
Thirteenth President of the United States; Succeeded to the presidency upon the death of President Taylor

-Only the Divine Principle can preserve America's continued development-

Though my time is short, I am exceedingly grateful. I have waited a long time for an opportunity such as this. I, Millard Fillmore, as president of a nation and as a man with great love for the people of America, convey the following with a sincere heart.

Even here in the spirit world, I am respected and treated properly as a president of the United States. However, I must let you who are on earth know my very real pain that, from the aspect of the perfection of character, the position of president is not sufficient to receive the best treatment here. Before I encountered the Divine Principle, no one here referred to me by the title of President or acknowledged this title. Since my contact with the Divine Principle, though, I have been treated like a mid-level executive. But I am stricken with awe. Until now I lived without realizing that human beings possessed such nobility; I lived in a distant plane, not sensing the fundamental values of human life. But now that I understand the basic truths, I feel very apologetic toward the people of America. I realize acutely that I failed to lead them properly. It seems clear that no one can become a true human being without awakening to the truth.

First, I call out earnestly to the American people. How can I record all the inspirations, excitement, and regrets that I have experienced here? I can only summarize these as follows. The citizens of America must come to a clear understanding as to the identity of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who is on earth, and, moreover, in America. Moreover, I urgently ask them to study his philosophy and truth in detail, and come to embody it themselves. I have confirmed here that God's fundamental thought, all his secrets and the origins of his creation of the universe are being revealed through the Divine Principle. I discovered that it is the Divine Principle that recognizes my position as president. As one who was once the highest leader in America, I convey this to you. America's future development depends on how you receive the Divine Principle. I clearly say to you from here in the spirit world that you must rely solely on the Divine Principle. I feel deeply that this is the wisest course, and I convey this to you with urgency.

Millard Fillmore; December 4, 2002

14) Franklin Pierce (1853-1857)
Fourteenth President of the United States

-With the Divine Principle, preserve America's position as a great nation at the center of the world-

I, Franklin Pierce, who led America as president, still feel love and heartfelt concern for this nation, even in the spirit world. I hope that America will remember her past, when she stood tall, and firmly maintain her position and pride as a central nation of the world. All human beings, no matter who they are, will one day come to reside in the eternal spirit world. Therefore, you should spend your transitory earthly life thinking of what the spirit world must be like. Here, I have thoroughly studied the Divine Principle and "Head Wing" Thought. Divine Principle is the teaching of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who is on earth. The people of America must awaken to the truth of this teacher's "Head Wing" Thought. America now faces unprecedented confusion and difficulty. I hope that you will successfully overcome the crisis of this age. You must overcome it through a philosophy of reconciliation and harmony if you are to achieve peace. All humanity must actualize the truth of the Divine Principle brought by Rev. Moon. All of the world must live by a philosophy of peace, not force. America must thoroughly learn and be guided by Rev. Moon's teaching, which explains that war, conflict, and friction must be resolved by means of a philosophy of peace, so that America's position as a great nation at the center of the world may be preserved. You need to understand clearly the significance for America of the Divine Principle brought by Rev. Sun Myung Moon. This is the special message I wish to give you.

Franklin Pierce; December 6, 2002

15) James Buchanan (1857-1861)
Fifteenth President of the United States

-If not for the teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, humanity would have no vision for the future-

After receiving the Divine Principle training, my heart is filled with such emotion that it is difficult to express in words. I feel unbounded gratitude and joy to have been born as a human being. The loneliness and grief that God experienced through the ages so pains my heart that I must clasp my chest. God has been in deep sorrow throughout the ages, but now the Divine Principle is bringing a bright future to humankind. I am overjoyed that I have been able to experience this valuable training here.

What is the Divine Principle? I understand what it means, and although I had the position of a president I feel such joy that I want to dance. The details of the Divine Principle cannot all be recorded on this page. In a word, it is "a gospel for the salvation of humankind." Everyone must live with the Divine Principle at the center of his or her life. Not only Americans but also all the people of the world must become one through the Divine Principle and Unification Thought. The one who discovered the Divine Principle is Rev. Sun Myung Moon. He is the Messiah and Savior of humanity. If it were not for his teachings and vision, the future of humanity could not be guaranteed at all. If humanity does not follow him, it will fall into great chaos. You must attend the Messiah while he is alive on earth, and become one with his teachings.

People of America! As this is an urgent request from one who was once president of the United States, please keep it in mind. God does not want America to resort to military force and fight wars. He desires that all humanity become one as brothers and sisters through a philosophy of peace. Rev. Sun Myung Moon holds an incredible key that will lead humanity into a world of peace. Please inscribe this in your memories.

James Buchanan; December 9, 2002

16) Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)
Sixteenth President of the United States; Preserved the Union through victory in the Civil War, and issued the Proclamation of Emancipation for the slaves

-People of America, I wish for you to constantly go the way of obedience, aligned with the teachings of True Parents-

Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Mansei!

Returning Lord and Messiah, Mansei!

True Parents of humanity, Mansei!

I, Abraham Lincoln, have experienced incredibly wondrous and exciting moments, but I am saddened that there is no communication, or crossing back and forth, between the earthly and spiritual worlds. Without doubt, Rev. Sun Myung Moon is the True Parent of humanity. He shows us how to love one another and brings us together as one, with no discrimination among religions or races. He is accomplishing feats on many levels that would be utterly impossible if it were not for True Parents' teachings. People of America, do you think you can bring peace through war and military force? God has appeared before humankind as our parent. While I was listening to the Divine Principle lectures, I had a vision. In this vision, all the souls in this place, including black people, yellow people, and white people, and including Christians, Buddhists, Confucianists, and Muslims, all came together and danced for joy. Then I saw a bright light, that is, the brilliant light of God, and in that instant, I, Abraham Lincoln, wanted to also jump in among them and begin to dance.

People of America, people of the world! Black people are children of God, as are white people. At some time, all of you will have to gather here in the spirit world and walk side by side and live together. I simply came here and experienced this fact before you.

I am making a request to the people of America because I love you with an earnest heart. Rev. Sun Myung Moon has appeared as the Messiah and the True Parent of humankind. I hope that you will attend the Messiah and constantly walk the path of obedience based on True Parents' teachings. War and military force will only serve to create another human hell. Is it not time for the earthly world to declare an end to hell? A philosophy of peace for humankind comes from the Messiah. The life that you now live in the earthly world is only a fleeting and incomplete life. If you are to live in the eternal world with eternal happiness, you must above all else awaken to the truth of the Divine Principle and Unification Thought. This is my solemn request.

Rev. Sun Myung Moon, I respect you. I thank you very much for all you have done. I will attend you resolutely as the Messiah and returning Lord, tear down the walls between races and religious groups, and participate actively in True Parents' Unification Movement.

Abraham Lincoln; December 9, 2002

17) Andrew Johnson (1865-1869)
Seventeenth President of the United States; Succeeded to the presidency after the assassination of President Lincoln

-May America's greatness be remembered forever-

I, Andrew Johnson, have determined that I will offer all of my life to the new truth of the Divine Principle. As a former leader of America, I now make an urgent call to its people from this place.

The youth of America today have lost a sense of direction in their lives. This does not apply to all young people, but a large majority of them have fallen into a pleasure-seeking lifestyle and do whatever they want. Young people themselves cannot be solely to blame for the errors in their thinking. They are lost because there is no fundamental alternative today that is capable of leading them.

I want to make a solemn request of them. Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who has revealed a new truth, is working day and night as the Savior of humankind to accomplish the task of human salvation. Through the Divine Principle, Rev. Moon reveals clearly and concretely such matters as the purpose of the creation of humankind and the universe, and the relationship between God and humankind. The only fundamental solution capable of bringing salvation to humankind is Rev. Moon's Divine Principle and philosophy of peace.

I make a solemn request that all young people in America receive the guidance of the Divine Principle and Rev. Moon's philosophy. Young people in America today have fallen into a very dangerous philosophical stream. Only Rev. Moon's teachings are capable of guiding us all to God's fundamental principles and the correct path for our lives. These teachings also instruct us on how to prepare for the eternal world, that is, our original homeland in the Kingdom of Heaven.

I have not been permitted sufficient time and space on this page to record all that I have experienced and learned here. I earnestly wish that people will forever remember the greatness of America.

-If humanity wants an end to war, it must accept Rev. Sun Myung Moon's truth-

Tens of thousands of years have passed from the time that God created humankind, but until now we have lived without knowing the fact that God and humankind are in a relationship of parent and child. This must be the greatest tragedy in the history of humankind.

Through the Divine Principle training session here, I have for the first time come to a definite realization that it was an improper beginning to human history that has brought about endless conflict and war between peoples and nations, making it impossible to bring peace.

The Divine Principle explains the details of the creation, the fall, restoration, and other matters in a concrete manner. I think that Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Divine Principle is capable of bringing about a revolution within humankind, a revolution of character, and a revolution of consciousness.

There has been endless division, strife and war in human history. Innocent people have constantly suffered and been killed in such wars. Hell in the spirit world has come to be overflowing with people. Wars are the greatest cause of human unhappiness.

How can this problem be solved? Only Unification Thought, Rev. Sun Myung Moon's philosophy of peace, can bring a fundamental solution to this problem. Rev. Moon holds the key. Who is Rev. Sun Myung Moon? He is the Messiah, the True Parent of humankind. In religion, particularly in Christianity, this is called the Lord of the Second Advent. I, Ulysses Grant, am convinced that this is true.

If all people desire an end to war, then I ask that they accept the truth revealed by Rev. Sun Myung Moon. I regret very much that I am in the spirit world and therefore am unable to give you the physical confirmation that you need to accept this. But I ask that you believe these things and follow. The people of America must listen more carefully to the Divine Principle if they want their country to remain great eternally.
