Love Quote by Sun Myung Moon

"The day will come, however, when they will truly know the Unification Church and me. The day will come when the truth will be known and the message of love will be taught. On that day, their regret will be deep"

About this Quote

Prophecy is doing double duty here: it’s reassurance for the faithful and a warning shot to everyone outside the tent. Moon’s “The day will come” lands like a sermonized deadline, a future tribunal where history finally snaps into focus and vindicates both “the Unification Church and me.” That pairing matters. He doesn’t separate doctrine from biography; he fuses his legitimacy to the institution’s destiny, turning criticism of the movement into a personal wrong that time itself will correct.

The intent is less to persuade skeptics than to fortify followers against scandal, mockery, and the very real scrutiny that shadowed the church’s rise in the Cold War-era media ecosystem. By promising eventual recognition, he converts present stigma into evidence of persecution, a classic sectarian logic: if the world hates you now, it’s because you’re early, not because you’re wrong.

Subtextually, “truth” and “love” operate as moral shields. They’re broad, almost unassailable nouns that reroute the conversation away from specific allegations, power structures, money, or politics and toward an elevated register where dissenters look petty. Then comes the turn of the screw: “their regret will be deep.” It’s not an invitation; it’s an eschatological flex. Regret implies a reckoning without naming it, allowing listeners to project judgment day, public apology, or historical redemption onto a single vague future moment. The line works because it offers believers the most comforting commodity in a contested public life: the promise that humiliation is temporary and that vindication will feel like justice.
