35) Lyndon Baines Johnson (1963-1969)
Thirty-sixth President of the United States
Who is God?
Each person among us has the desire to seek out goodness. Whether or not people believe in God, when they face difficulties, even though they may not recognize it by themselves, they are looking for some being who can help them. What being is that? I think the being that is the origin of that desire to seek and find--a desire that is settled deep within the original mind--is none other than God.
People of America! I have directly experienced God in the spirit world. One day, a brilliant light of unknown source surrounded me and I was whisked off to a very miserable place. In that place I could hear strange groaning noises and screams. And I myself involuntarily shouted out, "Help me, save me!"
At that time, the light began to swirl around my chest and a voice said, "Save America! Save humankind! Proclaim the existence of God! I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts * I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts * I am Jehovah, Lord of hosts *! I am asking you to save America, and thus to save the world." In that one moment, I was both enraptured and fearful. I felt that this place was hell, and the miserable people there were experiencing the manifestation of the fruits of their earthly lives.
My fellow Americans! What kind of being do you think God is? He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of humankind. Rev. Moon's Divine Principle clarifies that God is the parent of humankind. This discovery is a remarkable one. God definitely exists, and mostly appears to people in the form of light. If you receive the Divine Principle and the guidance of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, you will work this out in detail. Please put your brief earthly lives in order and prepare yourselves properly so that you can settle in a place full of light in the eternal spirit world. This is my desperate plea.
Lyndon Johnson; July 31, 2003
