Epilogue 183 On the afternoon of May 18, 1982, we heard that the jury from Rev. Moon’s trial had come to a decision: he and his bookkeeper were guilty on all thirteen counts. The judge sentenced Rev. Moon to serve eighteen months in prison. Mr. Kamiyama was sentenced to five months. They were to be sent to the medium security federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut. After all appeals failed, they both entered the prison on July 20, 1984. Some testimonies have been recorded of Rev. Moon’s life in prison. Mr. Kamiyama said that when Rev. Moon first entered the jail some inmates clapped, but the staff and other prisoners were either cool or ignored him altogether. Some even displayed scorn for him due to all of the negative publicity. At first he was assigned to clean the latrines, which he did conscientiously, putting all his heart and soul into making the bathrooms sparkling clean. When they were given prison bunk beds, Rev. Moon took the top bunk, which is the hardest to get into, despite Mr. Kamiyama’s protest. Mr. Kamiyama heard him praying at night and later told us that very early every morning, Rev. Moon would arise and go to the prison chapel. Several months later, he was “promoted” and assigned to kitchen duty. It was really surprising to the kitchen staff and the inmates when the serving tables began to look so different. Never before had the salt and pepper shakers, silverware, dishes and tabletops shone so much. Most surprising of all to the prisoners, Rev. Moon not only laundered all the dishtowels and washcloths but picked up and washed the grease rags by the stove. Each day, everything appeared clean, folded, and put neatly in place. It wasn’t long before the inmates started speaking casually to Rev. Moon and asking him for advice or counseling. They even started showing up at 5:00 A.M. in the prison chapel to worship with him. Some befriended him and asked if they could visit him when they got out of prison. During his stay in prison, something astonishing was also happening on the outside. In Washington, D.C., and New York City, Christian ministers and other believers were organizing and sponsoring “Freedom of Religion Rallies,” protesting the violations of religious freedom and the incarceration of Rev. Moon. I had been in the movement for many years, but it was then that I began to understand the truth behind what Rev. Moon said to us over and over again. He advised us in living our lives, “to give and give to others, forgetting what you have given, and to keep on giving more.” He also said, “Heaven always wins victory from a position of being attacked and pushed down.” I have tried to internalize this spiritual discovery: we are here on earth in physical bodies so that we can learn God’s truth and love by living in His
184 NEW TRUTH IN THE LAST DAYS Kingdom of Heaven on earth. God created us so that we could experience true love through our parents, our spouses, our children, and our friends. This is the way we also learn to love all humanity, God our Creator, and God’s creation, returning joy to God. Sun Myung Moon has said that “the entire purpose of our lives on earth is to learn to love in preparation for our eternal life in heaven.” Because of the Fall at the beginning of human history, the realization of God’s ideal has been postponed. This is why God will send the Messiah. Humanity will come to know that the highest heavenly action in our lives is to reverse what happened at the Fall by giving, loving, and serving others, believing in the Messiah, and obeying the commandments of God. Our highest endeavor in our relationships with others should be to practice true humility, treating all those around us with importance, respect, and loving concern. If we do these things, then we can help God and best prepare for the Second Coming of Christ, when the long awaited Kingdom of God will be build on earth. But as it is written, “Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor entered into the heart of man, the things that God has in store for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)
