Chang 2007 Ansembourg, Luxembourg LH Europe 978-2-9599717-0-9 You will be made to speak the depth of the teachings,which was not revealed before.The Spirit of Truth has entered you.You shall speak what you hear.The time of Heaven has come.Rise. Your name shall be Kotama.Raise your hand.The world shall enter severe times. Divine revelation on 27 February 1959. Quoted in Chang (2007), p. 29. Thereafter, with increasing frequency, I started to receive additional revelations from God. The content of these holy words was truly amazing and beyond my imagination. I was shocked and awakened by their importance to the extent that I often wept in shuddering awe and inspiration.This was because, in these revelations, God’s arrangements coming from His vast and profound plan, which covers hundreds of millions of years and had never been revealed to any saints or sages in the history of humankind, was explained much more clearly than when revealed in the past two to three thousand years. Furthermore, God revealed that He had blessed a lowly man like me with the important mission of establishing true prosperity for the future of humankind. Chang (2007), pp. 29-30.
