Miho Panzer’s reflection on the Rod of Iron

We are living in the Poconos Mountains now for one year! Rocks and pine trees, like in the camping ground we visited in Maine, surround our house. When I hear the sound of running water from the melting snow my busy mind calms down.

Now I would like to share a few thoughts about the Rod of Iron ministry.

Many people have questions about that. I remember True Father started a gun factory in the 1960s. The first business for the Unification Movement! I lived with the True Family for several years. I remember, at the age of 5 or 6, Kook Jin Nim would spend hours and hours building with Legos, a house, an animal, a gun, trucks, etc. I thought at the time that he would design and build large buildings as an engineer or architect! I will never forget that. Now he has built a popular firearms business respected by gun owners around the nation.

When Hyung Jin Nim was driven out of Mother’s palace, Kook Jin Nim kept his promise that he made to True Father to help his younger brother. It is beautiful to see Cain and Abel working together.

In my mind, the crown represents God’s royal lineage. The rod of iron represents sovereignty, and the ability to protect our King and Queen, our family and neighbors.

Moses received the two tablets when he went up for 40 days on Mt. Sinai. The Israelites could not understand, so they had to wander for 40 years. Now, as we enter God’s Kingdom, the “two tablets” are the Crown and the Rod of Iron. I believe that if we can unite with Father’s anointed heir, Hyung Jin Nim, and embrace these two “tablets,” God will open the path to entering the heavenly nation of Cheon Il Guk.

How amazing it is that God prepared the Kahr Arms factory for this time. Since it is very challenging for those in some countries to meet the condition of the rod of iron, those of us who can do so must represent all brothers and sisters. I believe God is going to give us a big blessing. These are my thoughts and heart about the Crown and the Rod of Iron.

Father’s words

“If the communists come to destroy the Unification Church with guns then we will have to fight with guns too. We cannot be their helpless victims and be defeated by their bullets. Do you think God will win such a battle for you? If the time comes to fight the satanic force, I will never hesitate to become the commander in chief and lead the heavenly army into battle. Do you think the Defense Department can safeguard God's world? Do not trust it too much. You can only trust the heavenly forces that are dedicated to God's purpose. Our young people should be trained in every way physically. In a final war against the satanic forces, it will be a life or death battle. In order to safeguard the heavenly side we may need to become soldiers. It is Satan's nature that, once he feels he is in a superior position he will attack. Is it a crime to defend yourself and the heavenly nation? You should not have some naive concept of Christian love; that does not apply in a confrontation with Satan's forces, which are determined to destroy God's world and God's people. If God has no power to defeat a satanic attack then He is no longer God. As God's force, we shall be able to defend ourselves and to defend the godly world. We are a different kind of religious leadership.
