1. THE PRESENT TIME

The present time is the age of fruition for the 6,000 years of human history. Therefore, it is a time when all the leaves fall. (82-142)

This is the most important period. If we express our feeling of tension in one phrase, we can say it is the "time of extreme emergency." (123-75)

What kind of time is it now? This is the final time. Therefore, everything is in a state of confusion. We are in an age similar to the point of death, unable to control ourselves. If there is a God, and if He can cope with this time, the problem is how He can restore everything. The problem is how we can turn self-centered thought into whole-centered thought. This is the primary factor in determining life and death. (126-112)

Now is the time to cross the Red Sea. You will perish if you do as you wish. This is the time to cross the Jordan River and the Red Sea. Do you understand? When we cross the Red Sea, you will all perish if you do as you wish. (135-202)

Now is the time we must accomplish that kind of world. Just as Moses, Jacob, Abraham and Jesus armed themselves, we also have to go forth armed. For what? Not for the sake of the country, but for the sake of the world and for the sake of Heaven, we must arm ourselves. (11-29)
