  • THE SANCTUARY CHURCH – World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, Episode 56

    After Rev. Sun Myung Moon's death in 2012, his youngest son Hyung Jin (Sean) Moon, established The World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church, The Sanctuary Church for short. 

    Carl and Holly discuss Sean Moon and how he started this group after his father, Rev. Sun Myung Moon died in 2012. He broke from his mother, Hak Ja Han, after she took over the church instead of passing it on to Sean Moon as his father had instructed. 

    Also known as the "Rod of Iron" ministries, they use AR-15's as their Rod of Iron as spoken of in Revelation 19:15 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron:"
