False Messiahs! |
Warner Helped the Rev. Moon
Senator's Office Says He Arranged for Meeting Space in March

Sen. John W. Warner's office acknowledged yesterday that the Virginia
Republican arranged for religious activists to use a Senate office
building last March for a ceremony in which the Rev. Sun Myung Moon
declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler
and Stalin be "reborn as new persons."
The senator did not attend the coronation-like ceremony or realize it
would involve Moon, a controversial figure who spent 18 months in
prison in the 1980s for tax fraud, said Warner spokesman John Ullyot.
"Our office felt misled" after news accounts described a long ceremony
in which Moon and his wife were crowned as leaders of international
peace, he said.
Many private groups use Senate office buildings for receptions and
meetings, but they must obtain a senator's approval. The Senate Rules
and Administration Committee has declined to reveal who approved the
use of the Dirksen Senate Office Building for the March 23 ceremony,
and a key organizer said last month the question was "shrouded in
mystery." Warner's office acknowledged its role yesterday when asked
for details by The Washington Post.
When news accounts last month described the ceremony, several of the
approximately dozen lawmakers who attended said they were duped into
going and had no idea the Moons would be the chief honorees. Some said
they simply went to see a constituent receive an award and were
unaware of Moon's long speech in which he said, "Emperors, kings and
presidents . . . have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend
Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah,
Returning Lord and True Parent."

Matthew 24:20-27 (NRSV)
20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. 21 For
at that time there will be great suffering, such as has not been from
the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if
those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved; but for the
sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says
to you, ‘Look! Here is the Messiah!'e or ‘There he is!'—do not believe
it. 24 For false messiahsf and false prophets will appear and produce
great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25
Take note, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you,
‘Look! He is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, ‘Look! He
is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning
comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the
coming of the Son of Man.[1]
