In Sunday's dynamic service on "Kingdom Dynamics" Hyung Jin Nim commented on the Family Federation's legal action against the Unification Sanctuary to protect its "property," the Unification symbol and the "Cheon Il Guk" mark and terminology.

Bible translator William Tyndale burned at the stake.
Church also tried to treat the Bible as its "property," persecuting and even killing those in Europe who translated it into English and other languages to make it possible for every one of God's children to have direct access to His Word rather than having it controlled by a centralized, and corrupt, hierarchy.
We are living in an historic moment in God's providence. All of providential history after Jesus' ascension is being replayed during these years after Father's Seonghwa.
Whom will we choose to align with? Those who want to treat the Messiah's precious words and creations as "property" that they can change, restrict, replace, or destroy according to their own whims? Or those who are willing to give all they have to protect, respect, and obey those words at the risk of their lives?
