In a way, I was very impressed by True Father's expressed annoyance and stern directing and redirecting Rev. Kwak and two Korean elders at getting the arrangement of "items" or the altar for the Ceremony to Anoint True Parents as the King and Queen of the Blessed Family.

True Parents approached the altar/chairs and stopped. True Father spoke in strong Korean to Rev. Kwak and later another brother, that items were in the wrong place and arrangement. They seemed confused and had to often ask Father again and again how to get it exactly right. They change things and True Father stood there staring and feeling. He then again said no, change this and that again a bit more. Finally after a significant time passed He and True Mother proceeded. This first item of the ceremony was True Father announcing the Presence of God in the two chairs arranged for Heavenly Father. Both True Father and True Mother were not smiling at this point, but so SERIOUS in their countenance. It appeared that everything had to be exactly correct or otherwise the ceremony would be a historic failure and thus True Parents had this life and dead seriousness on the faces.

I found questions and awe running through my mind. Who told True Father how to exactly arrange the offering altar and what items to have present or made? There were many significant items that I would understand the Moses and other central figures or religions have had in the past. Perhaps someone could list the items on the altar and their historic, providential, spiritual significance?

True Father and True Mother later seemed so relieved to get past this very serious ceremony and especially True Father to get the very heavy gold crown off his head. Their faces beamed with radiance and smiles thereafter.
