The next Sunday I came. This time a young man was there, wearing a zippered jacket a couple sizes too large. He had on American army trousers, also much too big for him. His looks immediately struck me as strange. He sat down at the front of the congregation on his knees. Mr. Eu was sitting on a chair, nicely groomed, wearing a white shirt, a tie, and a good jacket. 1 presumed he was the leader of the church and the other young man perhaps in charge of the youth meetings.

But that Sunday, it was the "youth leader" who gave the sermon-a sermon bathed with tears and sweat. Only a few words I can still remember. "We will unite all religions; our Unification Church will spread all over the world. Now we are very poor, but in the future we will be the richest church in the world." How could anyone believe that? I like Divine Principle, I reflected, but I cannot believe that young man's sermon.

After that Sunday, I prayed every evening, not for the church, not for God, but for my own situation. One night a couple of weeks later, during prayer, I suddenly lost consciousness of my surroundings and found myself walking through a green meadow. I knew intuitively that if I continued walking, I would meet Jesus Christ. Ahead of me were two tall, straight pine trees, such as I had never seen in Korea. Between the two trees was a big house. Opening the gate I saw three angels. They told me they were waiting for me, and guided me through another door, which opened into a big hall. There I saw Jesus Christ and his 12 disciples. "You are a very lucky boy," Jesus told me. "Your Unification Church is on earth, in my place. Now it is very small, but in the near future it will be the strongest and most famous in the world. It will be accused and persecuted, but don't worry about that. If you study Divine Principle, you can understand everything. You also will be accused and persecuted, but don't worry. Your church has a new truth; study it. If you do, you will be number one in the world."' Then he asked me if I would like to meet God. Very pleased, I answered yes.

The three angels were called back. They came bringing a big round basket-like vehicle, a bit like a flying saucer. I got inside, and one of them steered. We flew far, far away, and in a few minutes landed in a special place. There were three stages covered with golden carpet, but the angels told me I could walk up only two.

Walking through a golden gate, I found a hall with white rays, like rays from the sun, shining from every corner. I entered, and from one corner God spoke. "You are a very lucky boy. I chose you especially tonight. From now on, everywhere you go, I will be with you; whatever you want to do, I will help you. Your church has the second Jesus (At that time, I didn't know what the second Jesus was.)"Your church has the new word which is My word. Now your church is small, but in the future your church will be world-famous and be the strongest of all. It will be persecuted, but don't worry about that!' "You should study My word,' he continued. "After going back, take a week off from school and devote yourself to study. If you study My word for one week, you can understand everything. Can you make this promise?" And I said," Yes, I can."

"If you study My new word, you will be famous throughout the world" (Actually, these were the same three promises my ancestors had given to my elder brother.) "Tonight I will give you evidence. Would you like to meet your father and mother?"' I was surprised. How could I meet my father and mother who had died? A few minutes later they both appeared, and I saw their faces. But God cautioned me. "It's not time to speak to each other yet." They only smiled at me; I smiled back, and then they disappeared.

God again spoke, "Can you believe Me? If you believe in Me, you will be happy. Please stop going to the university and study My new word. Wherever you go I will be with you; whatever you want to do, I will help you."
