Shalom All:This event took place March 23 ... of this year, 2004?
That's almost 3 months ago. A "sign"? Beyond just the usual "false
messiahs". Uses USA fed/gov for the "coronation"?Just wondering,

Rev. Moon holds coronation at Capitol
(selected quotes)Dressed in a floor-length cape, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was dubbed the king of
peace at a coronation ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building attended
by several members of Congress.Moon is the founder of the Unification Church - currently known as The Family
Federation for World Peace and Unification.According to columnist Bill Berkowitz, on March 23 Moon presided over the
event during which he presented the "Crown of Peace" award to a number of
honored guests.Several U.S. members of Congress - Democrats Sen. Mark Dayton of Minnesota,
Rep. Danny K. Davis of Illinois, Rep. Sanford D. Bishop Jr. of Georgia;
Republicans Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett of Maryland, Rep. Christopher B. Cannon
of Utah, and Rep. Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania - received "Ambassadors for
Peace" awards, Berkowitz wrote. There were reportedly 81 members of Congress
total at the event."Decked-out in a campy floor-length cape, the Rev. Moon was presented with an
ornate gold crown and a lifetime achievement award," wrote the columnist.
"Introduced by a shofar-blowing rabbi, the reverend told the star-studded
audience … that a 'new era' had come: 'Open your hearts and receive the
secrets that heaven is disclosing in this age through me.'"The religious leader, sounding like a self-proclaimed messiah, is quoted as
saying: "In the context of heaven's providence, I am God's ambassador, sent
to earth with His full authority. I am sent to accomplish His command to save
the world's 6 billion people, restoring them to heaven with the original
goodness in which they were created."Though Moon, who founded the Washington Times, is often praised by political
conservatives, he says he has grand plans to help institute global
governance.
