Cheongpyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center</h3>
|
||||
<p>Heavenly Father, we have newly ushered in the third year of the Cheon Il Guk (Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity). Last year, we concluded a busy schedule under the motto ¡°Mansei for the Completed Settlement of the Cheon Il Guk of Freedom, Peace and Happiness, which is the Ideal of the Parents of Heaven and Earth¡± under your aegis.</p>
|
||||
<p>Today, in welcoming the new year, we have announced this year’s motto: “Through true love, let our family perfect the true family of filial children, loyal subjects, saints and holy children of the Cheon Il Guk.¡± We shall begin this new year, in which all families on earth and in heaven are to take root by perfecting themselves, centering on the True Parent, True Teacher, True Owner and True King, and go on to inherit the True Parents’ tradition of uniting heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>You, Father, the source of all blessings, sent us, the True Parents, to the earth, and had us indemnify numerous peaks of resentment, and now heaven and earth can publicly stand on the same horizontal line, following the completion of the Rallies for the Harmony and Unity of Heaven and Earth, and the Holy Burning Ceremony of Peace, Unity and Liberation of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and as we herald the Age of the Peace, Unity and Equalization of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, heaven and earth can publicly be on the same level standard centering upon the ideal of oneness, from the individual all the way up to the cosmos, advancing toward one purpose.</p>
|
||||
<p>Adam and Eve were created by the objective standard that was absolutely necessary to perfect the ideal of reciprocity and the ideal of love desired by Heaven, as the incarnation of harmony which is able to catalyze mind-body unity centering upon individual perfection based on one heart, one body and one mindset. Without the ideal partner of love, centering upon the unifying standard of harmony of the one heart, one body and one mindset of the parents of the incorporeal heavenly kingdom and the corporeal substantial parents, the purpose of the mainstream ideal of God’s attributes, namely absolute love, unique love, unchanging love and eternal love, cannot be perfected.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, You utterly and unreservedly invested Yourself over and over again entirely from the smallest to the greatest, all the while forgetting the fact of having done so, in order to fulfill that lofty and cherished hope of true love, namely Your absolute wish, absolute hope, and absolute desire for absolute faith from Your object of love, whom You esteem as precious above all else, in order to leave behind for posterity the sublime and vast realm of the ideal of love.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the midst of that, the ideal of creation consisted of Your hope for the third generation, the sons and daughters issuing out of the conjugal bond of Adam and Eve within the substantial realm of Sung Sang and Hyung Sang, after having formed Eve in Adam’s image following his creation into which You poured everything, so as to realize the visible substantiation of Yourself, the invisible substantial God, namely Adam and Eve as the partners of love representing the objective realm.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yet the fall of the progenitors of the human race left no room for Your Will to be realized, and they ended up being bound in blood ties to Satan in opposition to You, centered upon false parents, false love, false life and false lineage, leaving You in solitary isolation without a foothold in this world through eternal aeons until You eventually realize Your Will through re-creation and emerge as the long and eagerly awaited Heavenly Parent of whose existence humankind has hitherto been ignorant.</p>
|
||||
<p>You revealed the secrets of the spiritual and physical worlds through us, the True Parents, who uncovered the origin of Satan and his identity as Your enemy of love, the adulterer, thereby checkmating and defeating him, in order to restore the original standard for which You had invested Yourself totally, that we might create the oneness of mind and body, the oneness of mindset, and the oneness of harmony, You having made the foundation on behalf of Adam for the substantial parents on earth, by originally creating Adam and Eve as Your partners of love, centering on Sung Sang and Hyung Sang, and minus and plus, and wanting everything perfected in four directions, aiming to have the family based upon the father-son relationship, the ideal destination of the substantial world, which however was nowhere to be found upon the earth prior to the Coming of the True Parents, who revealed everything and checkmated Satan from the individual level, through the familial, tribal, racial, national, global, all the way up to the cosmic level, thus freeing and restoring the realm of power that had once opposed Heaven, consequently succeeding in bringing forth the new historic epoch.</p>
|
||||
<p>With the establishment of God’s Kingship, together with the Realm of Life of the Completed Settlement of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, and the Holy Burning Ceremony of the Peace, Unity and Liberation of the Parents of Heaven and Earth, we have set the standard in the Age of the Peace, Unity and Equalization of the Parents of Heaven and Earth. Please accept the foundations made by the ancestors born from those hamlets, and by the loyal subjects, virtuous women, filial children, saints and holy sons and daughters born from the local villages of this land as well.</p>
|
||||
<p>Centering on the founders of great religions, we have called out those who dedicated themselves to heaven with their loyalty, filial piety and chastity in the spirit world. We had all of our good ancestors resurrected on earth to restore the realm of failures of the Cain side through indemnity so that we could all stand on the foundation of the restored realm of the elder son, centering upon the Abel realm. The heavenly kingship is realized in the age of equalization in which we can establish a reign of peace on earth, from every individual level to the level of the entire cosmos, and all unite in the realm of liberation without any satanic interference. We are truly grateful for Your grace allowing us to welcome this world of freedom and unity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Heavenly Father!</p>
|
||||
<p>Standing on such foundations of true love, our family should realize the family of filial children, the family of loyal subjects, the family of saints, and the family of holy sons and daughters together with the Parents of Heaven and Earth, who are True Parents, True Teachers, and True Masters, in making the new start to establish the true kingship. We are truly grateful today to be able to begin the third year of Cheon Il Guk, in 2003, and to proclaim the motto for the new year. May all nations eternally praise and glorify Your unified victory of having united the spiritual and physical worlds. With Your ever increasing victories and accomplishments, we pray for the realization of Your glory in heaven and Your prosperity on the earth. We are truly grateful that we can pledge before You to advance again and again to liberate the heavenly nation of the unified victory on earth and in heaven. Please reign over us as the King of eternal peace, and allow the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven to be realized.</p>
|
||||
<p>All blessed families must be loyal subjects who can take responsibility for everything and be the owners who can serve the nobility of kingship.</p>
|
||||
<p>Through the appearance of the original family on earth, You have enabled us to reach the age when we can offer before You the mansei of victory of liberation in all of heaven and earth. In all Your comings and Your goings and abiding, may Your victory be bountiful and Your glory eternal. Be the King reigning peacefully over all kings eternally. We pray with all of our hearts for the tradition of the victorious heavenly kingdom to begin at this hour as we, the True Parents, put all our heart and mind together. We hereby proclaim our motto to heaven and earth. Amen. Amen. Amen.</p>

Gimpo Aviation Industrial Complex of the Times Aviation of Korea<br />
|
||||
June 10, 2006</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected Governor Hak Gyu Sohn, Honorable Minister Byeong Jik Choo of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation;</p>
|
||||
<p>Leaders of the Korean Helicopter Industry;</p>
|
||||
<p>Residents of Gimpo, and distinguished guests from at home and abroad;</p>
|
||||
<p>And, in particular, Sikorsky executives who have come from overseas to congratulate us on this joyous day!</p>
|
||||
<p>We are truly grateful to all of you for coming such a distance, in spite of your busy schedules, to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Gimpo Aviation Industrial Complex of the Times Aviation of Korea</p>
|
||||
<p>Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude once again to all of you, who have made it possible to hold today’s groundbreaking ceremony for the Gimpo Aviation Industrial Complex, situated halfway between Incheon International Airport and Gimpo International Airport which was opened more than half a century ago. It is our hope that it will develop into a state-of-the-art aviation industrial complex, both in concept and in reality, through its receiving approval as an industrial complex and being designated as an enterprise drawing foreign investment.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have dedicated my entire life to teaching the path of “living for the sake of others” through the practice of true love. This is a basic principle that surely applies not only to individuals but to all levels of life — from the family to the society and to the nation. Early on I had the conviction that my homeland of Korea — which at the time was suffering in poverty — would become prosperous and, furthermore, that it would become a nation that could share what it had with the rest of the world. It should be able to contribute spiritually; furthermore it would need a strong foundation of technical engineering skill, and therefore I founded Tongil Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., some forty years ago. The company imported the most advanced automobile technology from German companies and thus laid the foundation for the automobile technology of modern-day Korea.</p>
|
||||
<p>Pursuing world peace through efforts that reach beyond particular religions and nations, I have dared to initiate the large-scale project of connecting the regions of the world through constructing a tunnel and/or bridge across the Bering Strait between Russia and the United States Through such an undertaking, I am doing my utmost to inspire all technology contribute to the peace and welfare of humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now that I have concluded 34 years of work away from my homeland of Korea and have returned to my country, I have decided to lay the foundation for aviation technology — which of all industrial technologies requires the most precision — so that in the twenty-first century Korea may become a leader in the machinery industry, and, in particular, contribute to the development of the aviation industry. Therefore, I have established the Times Aviation of Korea, and pursued technological cooperation from the Sikorsky Company, which prides itself on having the best helicopter technology in the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Henceforth, the Times Aviation of Korea will focus on developing helicopters for transportation of large groups of people, thus to meet public demand, while opening new horizons in the helicopter industry. We expect it will not only revolutionize mass transportation in Korea but will also contribute to improving the quality of life in this country by raising the efficiency of the utilization of its territory.</p>
|
||||
<p>It is my hope that the Times Aviation of Korea will, through the foundation of the Tongil Group, extend to 180 nations across the world through the realization of an “even distribution of technology” campaign that I have always advocated. This will play an important role in establishing Korea as an industrial power, and thereby contribute greatly to the nation’s development as well as to the happiness of all people of the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and Gentlemen,</p>
|
||||
<p>My efforts for the sake of all humanity’s welfare and peace are even now being carried out in various fields.</p>
|
||||
<p>After inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation in New York, on September 12th last year, I traveled to 120 nations of the world in order to pass on my inaugural message. I proposed that the Universal Peace Federation, in the position of the “Abel UN,” should be developed as a new international peace organization. At the same time the United Nations, as a Cain-type institution, should be reformed by having a Peace Council, a legislative organization consisting of global religious leaders of the same rank, as members of the current UN Security Council. I am referring to the founding of a Peace Council that will speak not for the interests of a particular nation, as the existing UN representatives do, but that will truly work for the welfare and peace of humanity from an interreligious and universal perspective.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am undertaking this awesome project for the sake of peace and for the welfare of humanity. Therefore, people all over the world call me the Peace King and the True Parent of humanity. The Times Aviation of Korea will eventually become a big contributor to fulfill such a universal project.</p>
|
||||
<p>I extend my gratitude to the government of Gyeong-gi Province and the city of Gimpo, and to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Finance and Economy, and particularly to the Ministry of Construction and Transportation. I would also like to express my deep appreciation for the support of the residents of Gimpo, and last, but not least, for the firm commitment of technological cooperation from the Sikorsky Company.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

|

<h1 style="text-align: center;">March 31, 2002<br />
|
||||
Easter Sunday</h1>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400; text-align: center;">
|
||||
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Translation by Rev. John Hong; Unofficial Notes by Tyler Hendricks</h2>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Father began by explaining Cheon Il Guk in English, which was difficult to hear.] Cheon Il Guk means absolute forever. One creation of humankind. God’s providential viewpoint. Taking rest time, united—that time is the new era. We have to have new truth. Completion of restoration. Cheon Il Guk is that time.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, from now forget your past and prepare to welcome the new Cheon Il Guk. The spring of Cheon Il Guk. Perfection age will come with the spring on the earth, and that age is here. After that, harvest God’s kingdom. That is the so-called Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and spirit world. That’s how you know this is a special report from Heung Jin Nim. That’s why this year is very present.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Heung Jin Nim is the fourth child I sent to the spirit world. Centered on him and spirit world, the spirit world and physical world is reorganized and the mainstream is set up. Therefore we can cleanse any satanic environment and we can unite all races, nations and religions centered on God. On that concept we should unify the world; this is WANGO, the non-governmental organizations.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Rev. Dong Woo Kim reads Heung Jin Nim’s report to Hoon Mo Nim, given at True God’s Day January 1, 2002 at Cheong Pyeong Lake. Father said that this should be published as a booklet for the young people throughout the world.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Thank you for opening the Cheon Il Guk and providing it to the world. We will live in true love and heavenly fortune. We will march forward to spread your word in the physical world and spirit world. True Parents gave the speaking tour in America and made a strong foundation for the Cheon Il Guk. All the spirits separated from the Unification Church members at the Chung Pyung Lake training center are being educated, receiving the blessing and attending another 40-day workshop as blessed couples.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship is your victory on behalf of God over 80 years of dedication. True Parents tore down all the walls. It relieved the <em>han</em> of God; His lamentation and agony since the fall. Because of your exemplary life, the entire spirit world is deeply moved and totally changed. Now humanity is also changed. Dear True Father and True Mother, we have done a lot in spirit world. We have a training center just like the one at Cheong Pyeong Lake. The liberation ceremony for ancestors and the blessing ceremony, which are going on at the Cheong Pyeong Lake training center, provide a great benefit to the ancestors. I hope that our work in the spirit world strengthens your foundation for the Cheon Il Guk on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents, you spent over 80 years to create the coronation ceremony for God’s kingship. In order to open the spirit world, you have gone through so much difficulty that no one in the physical world knows about. Because of that, you have won victory and that is why you could offer the Coronation Ceremony. So we want to be reminded about its significance and meaning.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When I joined the spirit world, I had much difficulty. I was still young, but True Father appointed me as the general in the spirit world. Originally, centering on True Parents alone, religious leaders in the spirit world were supposed to descend to the physical world and through their descendents testify to True Parents. But that atmosphere was not here when I arrived. They tried to understand everything based upon their own background, and did not want to understand from a new point of view. Evil spirits were dominating when I arrived. They were stuck with pain and resentment that they brought from the physical world and they lived confined by that. They have no deep heartistic connection.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents, you came as the Lord of the Second Advent on the Christian foundation. Therefore you wanted to embrace and lead the Christians with Jesus into the Kingdom of God. Each religion has its own tradition and rituals and different ways, so it wasn’t easy to unite them beyond their own religious territory. In order to establish the realm of unification among the religions, in 1999.12.4 True Father called the 4 major saints and key religious leaders to Cheong Pyeong Lake with Korean and Japanese church leaders and put them through a 40-day workshop. They understood who True Parents are and what they did. After that, they went through 100 day training in spirit world and received the Blessing. Through that, the 4 saints came to understand True Parents. True Parents educated and blessed the 4 saints and their disciples. True Parents opened the door to unite the religions.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Because of that grace, the door started opening and the difficulties I faced in the beginning were resolved. I could work as general, because of True Parents. In 1995, True Parents blessed Daemo Nim, Hoongmo Nim, and others and thereby opened the door of blessing in the spirit world, and allowed us to give the blessing on that foundation I could have absolute power in the spirit world and start giving the blessing. It was possible because I could connect with the blood lineage of God and disconnect from Satan’s, and connect True Parents’ victories in the physical world to the spirit world. So I am grateful that True Parents opened the door of blessing and restoration in the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Jesus and I gave blessings to billions of people in the spirit world. A united foundation was established, centering on True Parents. In the physical world and spirit world we have united foundations now. 1998 we could move forward. Then because of the blessing of 3.6 million, 40 million and 360 million couples, the spirit world is rapidly changing. We can liberate the spirit world. True Parents made declarations in the Pantanal and Belvedere about governing both worlds on the foundation of their victory. This disconnects from satanic blood lineage and allows us to liberate the physical world and spirit world. Blessed couples in the physical world represent perfected Adam and Eve, standing in the younger siblings position establishing the realm of liberation. On this foundation Father declared the victory of the Parents of heaven and earth. Contrary to the time that Satan forcefully dragged people into hell, blessed couples now have the right to liberate people out of hell and give education and the blessing. Blessed couples from the spirit world could attend many ceremonies given by True Parents on earth. Until now, Satan manipulated both the spirit world and physical world, but now both worlds are supposed to receive directions from True Parents. The time has changed that much.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Upon this day, you gave me such a blessing to be called the Divine Son. So I will become the frontrunner to unite the blessed couples in both worlds. The remaining mission of Jesus to create God’s kingdom on earth as in heaven will be completed now, expanding the family level blessing. Whatever I do is based on the directions and guidance of True Parents, that’s all, so all grace should go to True Parents. From the year 2000, a big change took place in the spirit world, the creation of a new nation from last August, to tear down the walls. True Parents eliminated national boundaries and implemented the practice of true love life. The <em>chusok</em> and earthly festivals and celebrations took place on earth, establishing many different conditions so that the new world, Cain and Abel sides from east and west, north and south, physical world and spirit world became free and autonomous. These ideas can have dominion. We can set up one direction centered on God, the way of filial piety and loyalty. I thank you for all these blessings.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Father, you visited Chung Pyung Lake again in 2000, and at a special workshop gave me a ceremony by which I could inherit the right of giving the blessing and connecting heaven and earth, giving me that authority. Also, in the year 2000, the registration blessing was given to the blessed couples. Representatives beginning with Heung Jin Nim , Hee Jin Nim and major leaders attended the ceremony. Through True Parents, centering on God, both spirit world and physical world united and started creating the world of heavenly culture. It was the anniversary of the liberation from Hungnam Prison. Starting from me, all the leaders of the religions started working together as one family. You elected me to do this.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You are trying to save humankind and liberate Heavenly Father. The day of total liberation was declared by True Parents on the chusok, 2000. It was a big day in the spirit world, because of the grace of True Parents, by declaring this on the chusok, I can move around freely in spirit world without any restrictions. Even in spirit world, it wasn’t easy for anyone to visit other religious communities. In some cases there were big walls and obstacles, so we could not visit each other. But because of that ceremony that True Parents gave, I can freely move beyond religion and nationality and so forth. The ceremony of the total liberation was very important for us because without it we could not move around. People are stuck in their own religion and cannot easily unite with each other or visit other places. There are high walls and deep valleys, and they cannot meet. Now they can freely visit here and there. True Father knew this and paid all the indemnity conditions to tear down the walls.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In some cases, it is not really free; people cannot be totally free in moving, but at least they have a way to communicate and come and go. Also the declaration of the registration in the heavenly world and the elimination of hell and paradise were very important. Although we are not perfectly free, truly the realm of liberation came to us, transcending national boundaries and religious walls. The coronation ceremony for God’s kingship was the greatest day, the most joyful day, in human history. 12,000 people from all over the world participated in that ceremony. God and spirit world were so happy; they rejoiced. The presence of those 12,000 people means that True Parents paid all the necessary indemnity, and on that foundation, True Parents gave the right of being crowned to God. That is what it means.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I congratulate you, True Parents. You have been working all these years to help God claim his kingship of the cosmos. We cannot describe how big and great True Parents’ effort and love to God have been. I will do my best to serve and attend True Parents as much as I can. There were divisions between the mid-level spirit world and paradise. As we go down lower, the environment is covered by clouds or fog, so the light is dimmer and dimmer. As you ascend, you feel joy and deep inspiration naturally. No anxiety, pain or tears are found in the Kingdom of God. People live for the sake of others with no fighting or jealousy. It is the world of true love. No matter how well you lived on earth, if you did not receive the blessing, you cannot come here. Your life on earth has to be crystal clear. So we have to live centered on the teaching of God every moment. There are many levels in spirit world. Some people on earth think that there are only 2 parts of spirit world: the Kingdom of God and Hell. But no, there are many levels, more in the lower part than in the upper part.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On each level there are approximately the same type of people with same character, so there is no fun. In the lower world, everyone is suspicious of everyone else. Most people are in the mid level spirit world or lower. It depends on the level of life you had in the physical world. God is good and loving, and as you go down lower and lower, you will see less and less and will feel chilly and colder and colder. You encounter a lot of fighting. You can smell terrible things. A lot of people who committed suicide are there in the midst of snakes. People on earth do not understand how terrible is life in hell. If they had a chance to see it, they would never, never commit sin. We have to stay away from all the sins, from the original sin, collective sin, inherited sin and personal sin.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">No one decides where they will go; one’s life quality sends you to a place in which you fit. We can color different levels of spirit world. The Kingdom of God is white, like a white clouds, no stain, bright fields. Lilacs and animals playing, brighter than crystal. It is fresh, cool and comfortable. You can feel deep emotion, freedom and happiness. You don’t need to talk to each other, but can communicate by just looking. Only harmony. Only those who have received the blessing can live there. So you should like a pure, crystal clear life, smiling with bright faces. So, blessed couples, check yourselves and see if you qualify to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. As we go down, the color becomes darker and dimmer—like gray and brown, dark gray, to pitch black. The Kingdom of God is bright, as you go down closer to hell, it is darker and darker. The people on the different levels have different brightness, depending on your situation. As you go down, it is more uncomfortable and more homogeneous type people. They doubt each other, fight each other, make factions. Once you get rid of … you will go up to the Kingdom of God; if you don’t, then you remain closer to hell. On earth you have to separate evil spirits and develop your original nature. If you have money on earth, you think you are free, but in spirit world, no matter how much money you had, it has no meaning.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">To get to heaven, you need to practice absolute faith, love and obedience.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>True Father:</strong> All things come from God’s love, it all belongs to God. By absolute faith, love and obedience we can dominate it. God created you, and all things for your sake. So you have absolute faith, love and obedience to deal with a guide all things. That way you can be in the position of absolute faith, love and obedience. [Father has everyone repeat absolute faith, love and obedience in Korean and English.] Western people you know how to follow but not how to be obedient. Before creation, God used these three ideas, because everything is born of God’s love, therefore we need absolute love. God invested His love and life, with no concept, and we are objects of God. Usually, subjects want their object to be better than them. So God had that desire for us before we were created. That means, we should follow absolute faith.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Love exists on different levels, birds, insects. Love is totally to obey. Highest spirit world connects on with absolute faith, love and obedience. Only for the sake of others can live there. Why? Because God is that way; He inputs and forgets. Touch it, and you are His true object and this sets up the parents and children relationships. Okay? [Okay.] Okay means “open gate.” Absolute faith, love and obedience is very important to consider this morning. All things follow absolute faith. Without it, you cannot be in the position of ownership. That’s why couples need absolute faith, love and obedience, absolutely believe each other and love each other. Also, brothers and sisters. Elder brother is in the position of God and parents; so what is the problem? The younger should follow the way the elder brother says.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Absolute faith applies not to just a church, but to the whole universe. The universe was created by absolute love, too. Look at your two eyes; a pair. Man and woman are the pair system, each with their own sexual organ, so you cannot succeed on your own; you need to meet each other, as a pair system. Cheon Il Guk means two people totally unite, then that kind of individual, family, nation, we call Cheon Il Guk. Among nations, there are elders and youngers; they are all connected and the younger should follow the orders of the older ones. This is not just the Unification Church, but the Principle of Creation. Even the small, simple blade of grass needs to connect with this.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you do not trust your doctor, you cannot be healed. So you need absolute faith. God forgets Himself in His investing, and so do true Adam and Eve. Then there is only peace, no disagreements, and God is one who forgets everything. God is the parent who sacrificed to give and serve for tens of millions of years. So He is the great king of kings, our Heavenly Father. If you go somewhere and proclaim yourself—God cannot even like that person’s shadow.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">So I become that kind of person and have a spouse and children, and my children grow up from children to adulthood, to marriage and silver age and go to the Kingdom. God prepared the whole earth to house this lifestyle. So, absolute faith is acclaimed by Buddhism and Christianity. Then all children and grandchildren come out to welcome the father.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Speaks on the natural world, the lower eating and cleaning up the waste or loss of the higher level creatures. This is not dominating; it is just practicing absolute faith, love and obedience. Ownership is decided by love. Whoever the love a cat most, owns the cat and is willing to put up with the necessary cleaning. To be king of cats, means that you love cats more than anyone. Even skunks come and hang around.] You don’t need to use the Bible; just Divine Principle. Only I can interpret the Bible correctly. There are a couple of hundred denominations in America.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you graduate UTS, leaders should take out the church symbols and put in the family system. If you graduate UTS, you become a leader and to be a leader you have to go to UTS. You need education to be leaders.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God was like a prisoner in handcuffs, and I have released Him.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Weather, climate, is the cause of the different skin colors.] Whites search for good grazing land. Orientals sit and prayer for good weather. So, whites have long legs and Orientals have short legs and large hips. They look at the wall, so their face become flat. The Unification Church is the medium to harmonize the various parts of the world. How many of you have visited at least 3 countries? 12 counties? This is the characteristic of the Unification Church. You can make friends in many countries. We are friends with Buddhists, Muslims. We can be friends with everyone, and we can even marry Muslim people. Because of the fall, divisions came about and everything is stuck. You cannot move forward. This is no longer just a white people’s world. They have already failed, also Spanish, Catholics and Protestants have failed. The purpose of religion is not settlement. They cannot settle in the name of the nation. There should be the exchange marriage, with all kinds of people living together. Then no fights and the Kingdom of Heaven comes to 180 nations.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Your organizations are not for their own sake, but to liberate God. That is why I founded them, including UTS. In that way, they can educate your children to be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. Our second generation has to follow that pattern and tradition, or they become trash that we throw away. Your children should be sent to UTS. Then, whatever your background and major is, you should go to UTS. You leaders’ children should follow that formula course.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Do you have absolute faith? Do you have the faith necessary to change gender? That is the meaning of celibacy. They give up the man’s right and woman’s right. If we give them one week to do free sex, will they stop then? But if they are educated, then within one week it will all stop—free sex and homosexuality. In my life, how many women tempted me? Many white women tempted me in the western culture. But I know the standard.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">America is a chaos of free sex, mothers living with their son and having relationships. I know all of this, because I gave the blessing to everyone. I want to clean up and purify this and bring it back to God, through absolute faith, love and obedience. You should have greater faith and love than the creation. Otherwise the president becomes a murderer. I fish every day and never eat the striped bass that I catch. It is for the poor hungry people.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Before you go to Africa, learn how to fish. With a large, medium and small rods. They you can feed people and then teach them how to fish. Then you can make friends with everyone.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Today, rain has come and I want to catch the big striped bass to offer for the new month of April. Parents Day will be April 13, and some want to catch and send the biggest fish to Korea and offer it at the holy day. In the 70s, I hunted in the mountains throughout Korea.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Father announces the matching of YSB with Rev. Dr. CK. Please answer; have you decided he is your husband? [Yes.] Have you taken this lady as your wife? [Yes.] You are 82. Can you love your wife? Can you do the man’s role? Make her happy. Can you? [Yes.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The sexual organs—the concave like a cup below, receiving from the convex above, dropping down and making a sound. Cats make sounds, all the physical world makes sounds when the love is coming down. Like drops of water. The life, love and lineage come together horizontally and mix when the love comes down. It is an exciting sound, exsssss-sss—sssiting! Stimulating! Does God have the same experience? God makes a big sound too.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What is divorce? The Chinese characters—one thousand years, uniting—something like that means marriage. Meaning of darkness, man lost woman is darkness; man meets woman becomes brightness. Looking for the true woman, day and night, this is history. The righteous person to connect to the world with a thread, tying it together, is marriage. This is a very deep meaning that we cannot divorce so we should to teach it to the young people.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On absolute faith, man and woman were created, so they need absolute faith. Once animals reproduce babies, they never divide. Sake, in Japan, means salmon, liquor, and a third meaning. Unification Church is a small group, but if we move quickly… we can be strong and powerful in our hit and pierce the goal. [Father confers with elder Koreans on the translations of various words associated with the wedding feast, clothing, dancing…] Man and woman naked, loving each other, is the original phenomena of the spirit world. The original bright love of God. Dancing at the marriage celebration without any clothes, and make a relationship with each other with no secrets. Mind and body totally disclosed. When you meet your spouse, do you wear clothes when you have sex, or naked? Even 80 years, old, you kick away your underwear. What the founder of the Unification Church, Rev. Moon, explains, people misunderstand, but God understands. God visits the couple’s relationship. Does He do so as a general of the spirit world, with a big retinue, or just naked? God is a naked general. Sweat comes. As founder of the Unification Church, I’m educating you. The animals come out to listen to the love song.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">How many times do you want to marry? One time or twice? [One.] Why are you laughing? You should say one, and be serious. Did you pay tuition for my teaching? The soldier who is on the way to the battle, when the battle ends, receives the same honor as those who actually fought. When a line turns around 180 degrees, then the end of the line is first. The ones in front died, and the ones on the way are the survivors. They win because they had a ticket for the bus to the front line. The younger members step over the fallen bodies of the old members, on your way to the feast. That is how we equalize the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Unification Church tithing going to support Africa, serving them and ending hunger. Nothing works for world peace other than my ideas. I told a Senator from Utah that I would help him to save America, and he laughed. But you elder members have held on over the years. The indemnity law is that if God gives the direction and you follow, you can win your life.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God is the first generation, True Parents are the second generation, and blessed couples are the third generation.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Speaking to sisters in front:] you quarrel and lose everything. We can end quarreling and bring the Kingdom of Heaven. Eyes, bosom, back—man says, I need you, and woman has to be ready. In the animal world, does the male follow the female or vice versa?</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve wanted to do many things that I couldn’t; that is my resentment. Do you just fritter away your time? 1965, I visited 48 states in 40 days, sleeping in the car, never in a motel, 12 hours a day driving. We divided into three teams to make $40-$60K, to pay for the event. I invested a lot to save America. The results in the most part are secret.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In Korea there are only about 20K ministers, so 144K blessing of ministers in America is significant.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Father chooses people who have birthdays in March and July, the seventh month, to participate in fishing today, and it turns into a tournament, with prizes for the biggest fish, and another tournament is announced for April 9 (?).]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We didn’t finish Hoon Dok Hae. I trust what my children send from spirit world. We should clearly understand Heung Jin Nim’s report, then tomorrow the 120 saints of the OT and NT ages revelations should be read. We then need one language and culture centered on God. That is God’s idea. The center concept is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. That is the pillar. Absolute faith, unique faith, unchanging and eternal faith. Absolute, unchanging, eternal and unique love. God dwells in the palace. This the father’s place on which to stand. It is the center of the family, tribe and nation; the center is the family. It is the model form, the real parents’ form, real husband and wife form, real brothers and sisters and children. I don’t know how many times such reports will come. You should understand, who is Heung Jin Nim.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should prepare a savings account of at least $10,000. Get into the hobby life, the “RV system,” which means traveling around and living in the RV.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Rev. Dong Woo Kim:</strong> Father is doing a ceremony today to conclude the first three months of this Cheon Il Guk year. That is why he chose the members to go fishing and you will participate in the ceremony.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">East Garden, Irvington, New York</h3>
|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">April 4, 2002</h3>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400; text-align: center;">
|
||||
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Translation by Rev. Jeong Phyo Hong; Unofficial Notes by Tyler Hendricks</h2>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Before the ceremony, Rev. Hong informed me that this morning, Father announced that we are now in Year 2 of Cheon Il Guk, today is lunar February 22, 2002, (02/22/2002) and the ceremony will take place at 10:22:22 p.m. (22:22:22). This gives us twelve instances of the number 2. It represents the liberation of “2.” This means that two can become one. This reverses the fall, which prevented the two from becoming one. The essential meaning of Cheon Il Guk is “two become one,” referring to mind and body, husband and wife, parents and children and God and the world.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[This morning at 8:22 a.m., which was 10:22 p.m. (22:22:22) at Cheong Pyeong Lake, True Parents prayed. Hoonmo Nim with Daemo Nim and Heung Jin Nim were praying at Cheong Pyeong Lake at that moment.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[At 9:55 p.m., True Parents entered the room, and conferred with Rev. Kwak and Rev. Dong Woo Kim. There was a very large offering table at the front of the room. I would estimate some 300 members, many of them National Messiahs, church leaders from across America, and local members, were in attendance.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>True Father:</strong> Now we can invite the spiritual beings. (Father prays.) Beloved Heavenly Father. Today is 2002 April 4, at 10 o’clock, the 22<sup>nd</sup> of February according to the lunar calendar. We started this ceremony in Korea fourteen hours ago. To connect the 1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> Israels and unite America and Korea, we carry this out at the same time on the same day, as two become one. This eliminates resentment and allows you to settle here, establish True Parents and indemnify the Old Testament age, New Testament age, and Completed Testament age and resolve the <em>han</em> of God.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve started the fallen lineage and all human history suffered in pain as a result. Now True Parents have come and set up God’s lineage. They have made the new foundation, centered on God. Now with one heart and one mind we go forward into the age of total blessing. We move on centered on Heung Jin Nim and spirit world, with Young Jin Nim, Hee Jin Nim, and Hye Jin Nim. We center on the saints and sages, especially of Christianity, who connect all providential history, interweaving the religious leaders and moving on to overcome the narrow and incomplete character of the religious world. True Parents bring the inter-religious, international idea into the realm of liberation, with everything centered on God and True Parents. Our responsibility is to bring this into reality. For this we make a new determination and new start.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now is the time to set up the world and move forward into a new heaven and earth, centered on True Parents’ total indemnity. This represents the perfection of Adam and Eve, through absolute faith, love and obedience. On this foundation we can eliminate paradise and hell and pave the way of the heavenly highway. All humankind can go this way to connect to your heart and ideal.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Please bless the world. Through the blessing, please connect the Cain side with the Abel side. You are the king of the Blessing. To guide and connect to True Parents, to return the spirit world this way, we depend on God. We can establish God’s fatherland. We can accomplish the Cheon Il Guk, the age of the realm of history of the denominations, the realm of the liberation of heaven and earth, the essence of unification. Father, I deeply appreciate this declaration that allows you to set this condition.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Today, the 2<sup>nd</sup> year of the Cheon Il Guk, 2002, lunar 2/2, 22 hours, 22 minutes and 22 seconds, is the time of giving the blessing in Korea and Japan, centered on the central people, the blessed couples. In America, we offer this ideal with the four saints and four True Children in the spirit world. We receive the blessing, and each central figure is totally mobilized to set up your ordinance.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We come here this day to set up this offering and liberation ceremony. True Parents of heaven, Lord of absolute faith, love and obedience, Creator of one heart, one mind and one body, the heart of God. We have one bride, one family, under God. From there we can offer this glory on this day, at this moment, in the name of True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">All spirit world: let the people know. Father, please guide this offering ceremony, in the name of True Parents. Amen, Amen, Amen.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Everyone does a full bow.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Father: Korea is 14 hours ahead of us. We now will hear the report from Heung Jin Nim. As the 2<sup>nd</sup> Israel, because of the failure of the 1<sup>st</sup> Israel, America should try to accomplish and move into the realm of the 3<sup>rd</sup> Israel. Therefore this report is very important.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p>REPORT</p>
|
||||
<p>THE 6,000 YEARS PROVIDENTIAL HISTORY</p>
|
||||
<p>TOTAL LIBERATION CEREMONY</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Rev. Kwak reads Heung Jin Nim’s report.) As the son of True Father, I’m always feeling shame and sorrow. How I can give you more happiness and attend you better? As True Parents, through the Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship, I believe that you have done what you desired. But humankind must overcome more barriers. True Parents you worked so hard to take the burden from humankind. How can we pay you back? Only by being grateful and thankful for your idea. Your victory paved the way for the providence. On that foundation, the blessed couples must take responsibility. But because of us, you are still working hard. We have not gone the way of true children.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I want to offer the background of this day. Due to the fall, Satan expanded his power and ideas. God always uses central figures. Therefore whenever a central figure arose to pay indemnity, Satan put up a barrier. Satan developed his activity to attack God’s people and to destroy them. That’s why the central figure on God’s side could never accomplish his own plan. Satan destroyed it.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God could accept only Abel’s offering, but Abel was too arrogant, so Satan interfered with Abel’s side and Cain killed his younger brother Abel. Noah made the 120-years condition by building the ark. He should have offered a grateful prayer to God, but he was arrogant. On that condition, Satan attacked Noah through the second son, Ham. He felt the emotion of shame and encouraged his brothers to go the other way.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham then set up three offerings, and Satan attacked through those three offerings on the basis of Abraham’s failure to divide all of them. In Moses’ time, the Israelites should have united with him when he set up the 40-days fasting condition, but the people complained and Satan invaded. The people made the golden calf and worshiped it, and Moses became angry. Thus Satan wrought the failure of the central figure on the providential side. Satan then attacked and destroyed God’s plan.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Jesus’ time saw the same pattern. The priests stimulated the people to think Jesus was not the son of God, and John the Baptist did not attend Jesus. Satan’s activity lay behind this. Satan always develops this way. So Jesus went to the cross. At that crucial moment, the central figures could not support Jesus. Satan always invades and destroys.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In our time we bear witness to the ignorance of the Christian leaders and the people who interfere with and persecute the True Parents. Atheists and communists inspired the incarceration of True Parents. They are always trying to cut off True Parents’ activity. Satan attacks the blessed couples, and as a result many of them failed. Later some turned and even attacked the True Family.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">So for 6,000 years, Satan always acted in this way in order to destroy God’s providence. We understand that this is why today, during the 2<sup>nd</sup> year of the Cheon Il Guk, a day that contains twelve 2’s, centering on the four True Children in spirit world, all the spiritual beings were invited to Cheong Pyeong Lake. We marked the evil spirits.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The providence is prepared for the central figure to bring back all the providential central figures to Cheong Pyeong Lake for this total liberation ceremony. Therefore good will get stronger from now and evil will decline. The all transcendence, all immanence, all abundance and all sovereignity of God can act in heaven. It is now time. True Parents’ power to offer the liberation of God is the condition to do this total liberation ceremony at this moment. True Parents have paid the indemnity to liberate God. Therefore, we can carry out this ceremony.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now all blessed couples that unite with the heart of True Parents in absolute faith, love and obedience can live well. But any blessing couple that follows non-principled ideas will perish. Daemo Nim invited all the people of spirit world to study the Divine Principle. We are tearing down the walls that have separated religions. We are living in the time that is prepared for us to unite with each other. All earthly people centered on the blessed couples can liberate their ancestors, and the ancestors can become the good spirits who participate at Cheong Pyeong Lake. The devils that stuck onto the blessed couples can be taken out. Then through education those people can become absolutely good.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The four different religious leaders’ congregations can understand these ideas, based on True Parents’ guidance given on 2002.2.2 at the workshop center in the spirit world. From this moment, they understand True Parents’ activity and they desire to give the blessing to 144,000 Christian leaders. So all spirit people are coming down to support this activity. Now the blessed church leaders should unite with the good spirits to accomplish True Parents’ desire and God’s will. We will see a great change in heaven and on earth. In spirit world, we are moved by heart and heavenly ideas every moment. Now all blessed couples clearly understand. Centered on True Parents, they unite the physical world and spirit world. We make this special offering and coronation ceremony centered on True Parents. Please believe that we will try to do it.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[This message was received from Heung Jin Nim, today, solar 4/4, lunar 2/22, 2002, at Cheong Pyeong Lake.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>True Father:</strong> Let’s have silent prayer. (Everyone rises for the silent prayer.)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>True Father’s prayer:</strong> [Sorry, but Father spoke very fast, with long sentences, so the translation is rough.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Beloved Heavenly Father.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Today, the 2<sup>nd</sup> year of the Cheon Il Guk, 2002.02.02, solar 04.04, is a special day for Daemo Nim. Daemo Nim and Choongmo Nim [restored?] the failure of those in the mother’s position, in the Old, New and Completed Testament ages. At this moment, centered on Cheong Pyeong Lake, on Daemo Nim and on the position of the True Children, Heung Jin Nim, Young Jin Nim, Hye Jin Nim, and Hee Jin Nim, and united with the four saints, all the blessed righteous people understand. On that basis, they receive the blessing of the True Parents. Then all blessed couples in spirit world and physical world unite to indemnify the Cain and Abel relationship, centered on the parents of heaven and earth. [They are] inter-religious, international, interracial, “inter NGO,” and are resolved to establish God’s fatherland, with absolute faith, love and obedience. With faith in God and total unity in True Parents’ original true love, life, and lineage, we can establish the foundation that we lost in Adam and Eve. We can establish the national foundation with absolute faith, love and obedience, living for the sake of others, giving and investing and forgetting, with God’s love and heart. Resembling God, we are newly born in the position of children. I deeply appreciate this moment.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Unification brothers and sisters are reborn with true love, life, and lineage. The first and second generations are now connecting to the third generation. These are not just words, but this is the fact of facts, with the authority of God. We can set up from here the foundation of the individual and family, and connect to the whole spirit world. Spirit beings can come down to the earth to move on and support in this time, the time to liberate all people on earth. This time is now.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Today, lunar 2002.02.02, we tear down all the walls of spirit world and equalize all the spirit world centered on God and True Parents. Right and left, brothers and sisters, all are equalized with one heart, mind and body, creating the realm of one family centered on God. This represents the tribe and nation and the position of the messiah. It is God’s time to fulfill the messianic position, by the coronation ceremony of God’s kingship. Everything is in your hands. You are the all transcendent, all immanent, all abundant and all sovereign God. You can totally dominate this and liberate all creatures from the depth of sin. I create; I am beyond; I can totally embrace. Come into the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">So far, Lucifer and evil spirit powers come, join and support this time of liberation. Everything is done well, on earth and in heaven. All blessed couples totally understand and join together. We work based upon this ideal at Cheong Pyeong Lake, with assistance from heaven and now on the earth with the coronation of God. Now we move on to the coronation ceremony of True Parents’ kingship, and then the total living offering fund.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The children born on earth should be persons of filial piety, patriots and sons and daughters of God. Those people are to liberate all humankind, liberate all religions, and liberate political society and the NGOs. Now is the time to move on to the new world and the new heaven and earth. We declare the age of the autonomous nation and the special liberation and completion of God’s time and age. Centered on God, all humankind becomes one family.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Please bless this time and idea. On the report of Heung Jin Nim, we, the people on earth, can take responsibility for big things and be responsible for the Cheon Il Guk. It is time to open the peaceful world. I, True Parents, offer this idea. Amen. Amen. Amen.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Father prayed very loudly and there was great applause. This prayer was very fervent from True Father, and at several points many people shouted out.)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[True Parents cut the ceremonial cake. Then True Father called four representatives each from Korea, Japan and America. From Korea I saw Rev. Kwak, Rev. Joong Hyun Pak and Rev. Do Soon Yim. From Japan I could see Rev. Hiroshi Inose and Mrs. Erikawa. From America, it was Rev. Jenkins, Rev. Daugherty, Rev. Schanker and Rev. Andrew Compton. Father made four groups of three, and each group received a big plate of food from the offering table and was sent out into the night to throw the food to the four directions, as far away as possible, even beyond the East Garden property. When they departed, Father spoke.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>True Father:</strong> History moves forward on the foundation of indemnity. Offerings are the key indemnity. It is not easy to overcome the number nine. That’s why God has less than 1/3 and Satan’s side more than 2/3. So God’s side has to pay the 10% tithe. In the time of indemnity, 10% tithing is very important. You receive a salary, and to make it right you offer money clean and fresh from the bank. If you do so, your life will never suffer difficulty. The important thing in the religious life is indemnity. Offer the most important thing in your family to God. For example, offer ten percent of your jewelry to God. Share the other 90% with your tribe, as a legacy. If you give it to your children, they will quarrel over it with each other. From now on, the practice of parents bequeathing to their children is not the right idea. Your wealth should be offered to the nation, not to your children.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What you gain in your life, offer to the nation. One beautiful tradition in America is that of wealthy people giving away their wealth to the society, not to their children. I am this way; I offer everything to the world, to benefit the next generation. The ideal of the Unification Church is to serve the world. So, in response, you should support the True Family, just as the archangel should have protected the children of Adam and Eve. The blessed couples did not fulfill their responsibility, so the True Family is in trouble.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Whatever Satan takes, I can restore to its original place, at any moment, with no problem. Of the four True Children in spirit world, three are sons and one is a daughter. They are totally united, one Eve and the three sons representing the three ages. These are principled numbers. They couldn’t fulfill everything during their earthly life, so now young people cannot think of … young people are growing in the spirit world. We should memorialize them. The spirits of babies who died are growing. They reach above 16, then, when I give the direction, they receive the blessing. That comprises 100 million couples. Even previously married couples receive the blessing in the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The second category of couples, that of Noah, consists of couples who are only half settled. Those who receive the Noah type of blessing just lived together but were not married. Those people gather together and are blessed. Then there are the pure couples. It is just like the 36 couples; there are three different types. The third type is that of the Jacob couples. They are the seed of all human descendents. The others are impure or divorced. The central position among the 36 couples is that of the Jacob couples, the pure couples. The Previously Married Couples are representatives of the Old Testament age; the Noah couples represent the New Testament age, and the Jacob couples are pure, representing the Completed Testament age. All this is set up only through True Parents. Then safe settlement can come, in this way, on the earth, and those blessed couples will connect with the Kingdom of Heaven directly.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now is the time to settle the three types of couples. There are many cohabiting couples in America, couples who want no children and just live to enjoy each other. They unite with the Jacob couples. All three types unite.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The 72 couples are centered on Moses, as were the 72 elders in the wilderness. In Jesus’ time, there were 72 disciples and 120 followers, all connecting with the disciples that numbered 12. In Jesus’ time, the 120 followers connected with the Holy Spirit, the mother spirit. They have no physical foundation, but just a spiritual foundation here on earth. But Israel had a substantial nation. Christian people were just wandering, shedding blood wherever they went. Tearing down their ideas and nations, shedding blood, they tore down the walls. Christians are sacrificed everywhere. They reach to the national level. Those nations are America, England and France, on God’s side, and Germany, Japan and Italy on the evil side. There was a secular spirit in Italy, and Hitler said he was like the messiah, and the Japanese emperor acted like a messiah. All of that connects with Satan’s side. And they used force.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">France is in the archangelic position, England is the mother’s position and America is both son and father. The allied nations won. On the foundation of that victory, the messiah came on the earth. Jesus lost the foundation on the earth and the True Parents returned for a 7-year course, 1945-52. He was to have unified Roman Catholicism and Protestantism with a one-day education and one-day blessing, as with the Ambassadors of Peace. It is a powerful weapon. It was prepared for 7,000 years. Now in one day Rev. Kwak visits a nation and blesses the top leaders.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The physical world does not yet totally see the value of the blessing. The earthly world is the Adamic realm and the spirit world is the archangelic realm. The ancestors are in the archangelic position. The body of Satan multiplied as humankind. True Parents, from age 16, made indemnity conditions and set the foundation for victory.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You received a conditional blessing, as the basis to be reborn through your wife. Your wife is in the mother’s position and should give you rebirth as her son. She is your mother first, then your wife. The archangel could not fulfill his responsibility, so this restores it. That’s why I told some couples not to start family life for seven years. But that condition is over now; it is no more. Look at the women over there… In some nations all the men are killed but the women and children remain, carrying the seed. Women paid indemnity, the men were in the servant level and they went through eight stages.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The three-year separation period, a public course, follows the period of indemnity. You can go on a parallel line, only by the foundation of True Parents. You cannot make it yourself. Women are part of True Mother’s body. So all women are one, and all Adams are one. You all are one person. You are descendents of the archangel. Women are the bride; that is the point of Christianity. Christianity is the bride religion with no bridegroom. So the male ministers abuse homosexuality.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">So society is looking for Eve, the bride. Three billion people, those who have the womb, are Eve. They should offer it to their husband. American women should offer everything to their husband, the bridegroom. You restore him from the position of false husband to the true husband, the messiah. He brings true love. That’s why the Lord of the Second Advent comes, and why women should love him above everything, be so in love with him that they get sick. Even men should cry and weep missing Father.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">So in the world we lost two people, one on Adam’s side, and one woman. We have to bring them back to the world and take out the old lineage. Just pray for all people, then take out what represents each decade of your life. People miss True Parents in their thoughts and dreams. They miss their True Father, the true man. They never met a true man. That’s why all women miss the true man. But they cannot meet the messiah and they end up abused and exploited. The dream of the fallen Eve is to meet the one person, the bridegroom. [In the fallen world, you marry having such hope, but] Even if you have a family, you soon hate your husband and he turns to homosexuality and free sex. Thus he becomes like an animal, and the human race is going down.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">So the Unification Church gives a clear direction to women, to go from daughter to sister to queen. The messiah’s role is to nurture women. It is mainly women who use the new technology, such as the telephone. They call all their neighbors, relatives and friends. Once they are on, they stay on all night.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Mother is like you, but she follows the track of history. Three generations developed and were purified for the sake of creating her. Is it so? (Applause.) It required a three generations process to create her. In Korean history, women made trouble, but in True Mother’s history, which is actually seven generations, each generation had one daughter only. You cannot just have any woman give the truth. Three religious groups connect and believe that the messiah is coming as a human being.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That’s why Daemo Nim went through three churches. It is not easy to make that preparation. You do not know that, but [it relates to the fact that] three American women, white, black and Hispanic, opened their shirts to me and tried to kidnap me. I was scared. It is so important to keep purity. I can explain this, but two or three years would not be enough. But in spirit world I can share it all in a few seconds. This is a heavenly secret. Because of women, I have had a difficult time over several decades. Women, raise your hand if you like Father. Hey, what about True Mother?</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Husbands: Don’t complain if you have to sit down at night and eat alone with your children. You have been restored from the archangelic position. Which is stronger, my love for Mother or hers for me? American style, the husband loves the wife more than vice-versa. Don’t show your strange way. If you go to spirit world you can find out how much God loves True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Father talks with American women in front. About their cultural predilections and how hard it is to change 6,000 years tradition. How American women divorce their husband and hate their sons, and prefer the daughters. That’s why this country will perish.] Why do I talk like this about women? If a nail is in a plank, how do we take it out? Hit it from below, and then claw it from the top. From now I can ask everyone to participate in a special training session, like the KGB in Russia, and survive it. The Unification Church members can do anything, but the problem is you women.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God’s heart is expressed through the father of the prodigal son. The parents cannot hate the children. Therefore there is no need for hell. In America, what is the concept held by fathers and mothers? Do they put away their children and enjoy themselves? This is “couple-ism.” It does not work in the Kingdom of Heaven. The family should live together. You are blessed central families. As such you are representatives of the True Family.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God follows True Parents. Why? Because God could not get Satan to surrender, except through True Parents. Are you better than God? You should love Rev. Moon more than you love God. Do you? If not, you should repent so much. “I am here at this liberation ceremony with God and True Parents, but I am so arrogant.” Do you like these hard words from Father? Or do you want to eat the fruit of the offering table? This fruit is for spirit beings, not you.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">How different you are from those in spirit world. God and all saints. You are here to connect to them, and you add [your own thoughts], then you beg to eat something. And you look at my age at over 80, and you use Father. Is this filial piety? No.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I think and pray during the fishing time.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Where is Sung Bok Lee? [In Denver.] I wonder if she and her fiancée are sharing one room or are staying in two. Actually, they should separate seven years; it is the formula way. I also want to support their children. But Father is in difficulty and is tired. I am the king of beggars.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now True Mother says let’s give rice cakes to everyone. Now I will throw out the fruit—close your eyes! [Father tosses some fruit.] The noble class of people does not do this, but it is a special day.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[A representative Korean comes forward. Father calls for the people whose birthday is on that day, or week, and the tallest person in the room—a tie between Taj Hamad and Sebastian Heumer, and gives them a watermelon or pineapple.] In Korea at the village market, at the end of the day they give away the remaining fruit. Then (somehow this leads to the next day more people coming to buy at the market). You should develop your strategy for witnessing like they do. If you have no results, you have to think about that.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The offering is the condition to advance history.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[End of notes. The ceremony went from 9:55 p.m. to about 12:30 a.m. True Mother, and Jun Sook Nim and Yun Ah Nim sang songs, as did Rev. Kwak, and much fruit and food was distributed.]

|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon<br />
|
||||
June 13, 2006</h3>
|
||||
<p>Highest leaders of all of the nations of the world, honored guests of Heaven who have gathered from every corner of the earth to celebrate this treasured historic and providential day, and people of the spiritual and physical worlds who are being reborn as citizens of Cheon Il Guk:</p>
|
||||
<p>In the name of all humanity in the spirit world and physical world, numbering more than 300 billion, I offer boundless gratitude and glory to God, the Creator of all things, the eternal True Parent of humankind and Great King of the Cosmos.</p>
|
||||
<p>I ask you to raise your voices high in praise for the victory of the True Parents of Heaven and Earth, the King and Queen of Cosmic Peace. They have personally completed the entire course of restoration through indemnity in order to save humanity, who, as descendants of the Fall, would otherwise be eternally destined to wander in evil and suffering, ever sliding down the path to hell.</p>
|
||||
<p>You stand today in the venue of a tremendous event in providential history. This event is unprecedented and will never be repeated. It is the day when the King of Peace finally ascends in glory. Please recognize that, although they may not be visible to you, thousands and tens of thousands of your good ancestors of blessed families have come here. They are above your head now, joining with you in celebration of this awesome moment. All nature is rejoicing, and heaven and earth resound with choruses of Hallelujah.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you truly understood the infinite value of this day, you would not be able to sit still. You would go throughout the world singing hymns of joy and dancing in ecstasy.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Coronation of God’s Kingship</h3>
|
||||
<p>Do you know the significance of January 13, 2001? It was the Day of the Coronation of God’s Kingship. For countless years Heaven had been waiting for that event in eager anticipation. It was the greatest and most exalted celebration humanity had ever witnessed. On that day Reverend Moon, who had received the anointing as the True Parent of all humanity and traveled a path of indescribable suffering and pain until he had gained the final victory, offered his entire foundation to Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>For tens of thousands of years, God had endured an existence full of lamentation and grief, even as He conducted His Providence with a parental heart. When that coronation ceremony was offered to Him, it marked the moment of His long-awaited liberation and release. On that providential day, we declared to all heaven and earth that we would attend God as the vertical True Parent and great King of the Cosmos, that we would unfurl and raise the banner of Cheon Il Guk, and that the new sovereignty of Heaven had begun.</p>
|
||||
<p>For the next three years, the True Parents held firmly to the helm while the winds of heavenly fortune surged around us like a typhoon. We dashed forward as though each day were a thousand years. Then on the foundation of True Parents’ victory, we declared May 5, 2004 the <i>Day of Ssang-hap Ship-seung</i>. On that day, the True Parents brought to a close the <i>Age Before the Coming of Heaven</i> with its long years of grief, and opened the <i>Age After the Coming of Heaven</i>, the new era when we can build a new heaven and a new earth. This marked the beginning of a great and historic revolution to return the earth to God as a substantial reality.</p>
|
||||
<p>Beloved citizens of Cheon Il Guk, today you are receiving amazing grace. You are participating in the coronation ceremony of the substantial King of Cosmic Peace, and you are being registered as citizens of Cheon Il Guk. Not only you, but also your ancestors by the tens of thousands will thank you throughout eternity for the grace they are receiving along with you today.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Bible says “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness.” (<a href="http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?search=Mt+6:33">Mt 6:33</a>) Today you are witnessing the miracle of miracles: the establishment of Cheon Il Guk, the substantial sovereignty in the Age After the Coming of Heaven. God truly works in mysterious ways. By the first day of the new millennium, God had already placed Cheon Il Guk on the horizon. Who could have imagined though, that they would see the day when the King of Cosmic Peace would ascend to his throne? We thought it was just a dream, but we are witnessing it in our lifetime.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Path of the People of Cheon Il Guk</h3>
|
||||
<p>Citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, this is a precious and blessed day of victory and glory. Now, as the King of Cosmic Peace, I will declare, on this thirteenth day of June in the sixth year of Cheon Il Guk, the fundamental duties and mission that every citizen of Cheon Il Guk should understand and live by as they walk the way of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>First, as God is the vertical True Parent and you are true children of God, you will establish the realm of three generations in your family, perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, and attend God on the vertical axis for eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Further, you will inscribe on your heart the need to uphold the Cosmic King of Peace, who is the horizontal True Parent, and to live with absolute obedience on the horizontal axis for eternity as a citizen of Cheon Il Guk. You will make living for the sake of others, which is the practice of true love, the standard of your life. You will establish a true family and raise true children who are sinless and pure, thus protecting God’s lineage and bequeathing it intact from generation to generation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Second, no matter what the situation, you will live with your mind and body united as one. In my case as well, from the day I first determined to follow Heaven’s path, I resolved to keep this as my motto: “Before you desire to have dominion over the universe, you must first have dominion over yourself.”</p>
|
||||
<p>God has given you a conscience as your guide in accomplishing this objective. Your conscience knows everything about you. It has complete knowledge of every action and step you take; it even knows your thoughts. Your conscience knows all these things about you before your teacher or your pastor knows. It knows them before your parents know. It knows them even better than God knows. So if you place your conscience in God’s position over your life, and go the way of absolute obedience, of “high-noon settlement”, it is certain that you will establish a realm of resonance between your mind and body and perfect their unity.</p>
|
||||
<h3>World Peace through Exchange Marriage</h3>
|
||||
<p>Citizens of Cheon Il Guk, the unification of spirit world has been completed. The issue now is the 6.5 billion people living on earth in the physical body. They struggle in agony in the midst of sin and suffering, yet they are your brothers and sisters. Your third mission is to educate them and bring them home as people of Cheon Il Guk.</p>
|
||||
<p>You should educate everyone to understand that all human beings without exception are descended from the Fall and must change their blood lineage through receiving the Holy Marriage Blessing from the True Parents. You must continue the work of engrafting people onto the True Olive Tree, by having them participate in the grace of “exchange” (cross-cultural) marriage, until the day when all humankind, numbering more than 300 billion souls, is restored to God’s lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Fourth, you are created to spend ten months in your mother’s womb, about one hundred years on earth breathing air, and then all eternity in the spirit world. You should understand that, just as proper preparation in the womb is required for a healthy life after birth, you must devote your earthly life to prepare yourself for the next stage of life in the spirit world. Never forget that in every time and place, and no matter what you are doing, your ancestors in the spirit world are with you. Be ever mindful to live in harmony with the spirit world. Communicate in prayer with the heavenly world with sincerity and dedication, so that you may become perfected in your spirit self while you are living on the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Fifth, your talents and abilities are required for the management and governance of Cheon Il Guk. Now, therefore, cut away and cast off your mask of selfish individualism. It is but a remnant of the Age Before the Coming of Heaven. In order to belong to Heaven, you must change ownership by participating in the Ceremony of Returning Ownership, offering everything you own to God and then receiving it back from God.</p>
|
||||
<p>In addition, all citizens of Cheon Il Guk will provide funds for the well being and peace of humanity, not by taxation but by voluntary contributions. They will demonstrate the model of offering the first three tenths of their income for public purposes. This cannot be an imposed tax; it has to be a gift that citizens offer willingly to Heaven with joyful hearts.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Life of Citizens of Cheon Il Guk</h3>
|
||||
<p>Sixth, beloved citizens of Cheon Il Guk, in the Age After the Coming of Heaven it is possible to recover the ideal world of creation that was lost as a result of the Human Fall. God created all the earth’s creatures as our natural environment; they are absolutely needed for human prosperity. Human beings and nature are meant to share a realm of mutual resonance, with humans as the subject partners of love and nature as the object partner thriving under human management and beautified by human creativity. We can no longer tolerate actions that destroy nature and pollute the environment.</p>
|
||||
<p>As citizens of Cheon Il Guk, please have the wisdom to protect and love nature. Return to nature and enjoy a life of liberation and complete freedom. To love nature is to love God and humanity. When human life resonates with nature, human character can blossom in perfection. The flowers of a true culture of heart, a true artistic world, will bloom. It will be the Garden of Eden, the original ideal where human beings and all creation live in complete harmony and express their original nature.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you practice such true love in your daily life, how can God do anything but bestow great blessings upon you? You will live for all eternity in blessing and happiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>Seventh, the Age After the Coming of Heaven that God and True Parents have opened is a time of dramatic change. As registered citizens of Cheon Il Guk, you have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit in blessing and glory. Therefore, please become Heaven’s emissaries, fulfilling the dual missions of the “Peace Kingdom Police Force” and the “Peace Kingdom Corps.” Serve humanity under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, which is working to establish the position of the Abel-type United Nations. Worthy countrymen and women, if not you, then who, will nurture and protect the blessed families and this blessed planet Earth that God has given us?</p>
|
||||
<p>Please become true princes and princesses who live in attendance to God as your True Parent, for He is the Peace King of the multitudes. Let us build the everlasting Peace Kingdom by attending the King of Cosmic Peace and fulfilling the dutiful family way of filial sons and daughters, patriots, saints, and divine sons and daughters.</p>
|
||||
<p>Beloved people of Cheon Il Guk, I hope that you truly will celebrate and enjoy this precious and holy day. Brush off all your cares and worries and celebrate this day in joy while attending your Heavenly Father and True Parents with all your heart. The sincerity and dedication expressed by each of you brings even more glory to this day. The beautiful mountains, streams, trees, and flowers here in the vicinity of Cheong Pyeong Lake are showering their blessings upon you as you prepare to embark on your ambitious journeys. Your descendants, too, will take pride that you participated in this long-awaited day, and they will honor and praise you forever.</p>
|
||||
<p>I pray that the abundant grace and blessings of God in heaven may be upon you and your families.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

|
||||
March 23, 2004<br />
|
||||
The United States Capitol<br />
|
||||
Washington, DC</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, religious leaders from around the world, distinguished guests,</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your presence here this evening in such a large number, in spite of your busy schedules.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen,</p>
|
||||
<p>The starting point to unravel the problems humanity faces today is the certain knowledge of God, the Father of all creation and, on that foundation, the building of true families that live in attendance to God. This calls us to establish and attend God in our families, not as a concept but as the substantial Parent of us all. To do this, we first must clarify the relationship between God and humanity. God is the original entity of true love, true life and true lineage, and He is the True Parent of all people.</p>
|
||||
<p>If human beings had not fallen, we would have reached perfection in God’s true love as His true children and lived in attendance to Him as our Parent. God’s plan was for perfected human beings to bond as true husbands and wives, bear and raise true children so that they would live in a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, and then live together eternally in the heavenly world as families in the Kingdom of Heaven. Think about it for a moment. If your father went to hell and only your mother went to Heaven, what kind of Heaven would that be? If your parents were to go to hell and only you children went to Heaven, how could that be called Heaven? The Kingdom of Heaven is where the whole family lives together in an eternal peace kingdom. On earth as well, God will reside where a whole family has established a kingdom of heaven. In such a family, the world of God’s original ideal, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, takes root. How, then, are we to bring about this family heaven on earth?</p>
|
||||
<p>First, each member of the family needs to complete his or her individual character. Each person has to shed the fallen nature that has passed from the fall down through the generations, and achieve the perfection of his or her character. In other words, each person must be victorious in the struggle between mind and body. Then the world of harmony will bear fruit in each individual’s perfected character, a state of one heart, one mind and one thought. Fallen nature, which causes jealousy, envy, greed, hatred and all other evils, will never again take root in the person who has achieved this state.</p>
|
||||
<p>Shedding the fallen nature is not easy. The reality of fallen human beings is that we vacillate even when trying to break habits formed over the relatively short span of a few years or decades, like smoking or drinking alcohol. We cannot expect, then, that it will be easy to cast off fallen nature, which we inherit through lineages going back thousands, even tens of thousands of years.</p>
|
||||
<p>It is impossible by human effort alone. We need to stand on the foundation of absolute faith, establish God as our vertical axis, and struggle our entire life. Even then, it is a difficult fight. We cannot even think we will gain victory unless we enter a state of absolute love for God, loving Him even more than we love our own parents and children, and attending Him as our True Parent. We cannot hope to win this fight without a foundation of absolute obedience to God, following Him even at the cost of laying down our life.</p>
|
||||
<p>Herein lies the reason that religions place fasting, sexual abstinence, sacrifice and penance in the uppermost position. We must be born again, recast as new persons in whom Heaven can reside and with whom the spirit world can cooperate. We cannot betray an iota of shame even if our entire life and being is exposed before all God’s creation. Our character should be like a “high noon settlement,” on the straight vertical line of God’s grace without the slightest shadow, so that Satan will flee from our presence for eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Second, individuals who achieve such completion of character come together to form true families, and the members of these families work together to establish what I call the “four great realms of heart.” Such families resemble, in form, an individual who has accomplished the complete oneness of mind and body. I have said that the Kingdom of Heaven is a place we enter family by family. Not every family, however, is qualified to enter Heaven automatically. You need a foundation to be a true family and to complete the four great realms of heart. A true family that can enter the Kingdom of Heaven is composed of true individuals who have completed the four great realms of heart in themselves and who are of a lineage centering on God.</p>
|
||||
<p>What do I mean, then, by the “four great realms of heart”? I refer to the perfection of the heart of parents, the heart between a husband and wife, the heart of children, and the heart of siblings. This is found in a true family bound by God’s original true love, true life and true lineage through a chaste three-generational lineage of grandparents, parents, and (grand) children. Here, the love between parents and children establishes the vertical relationship between upper and lower; the love between the husband and wife establishes the horizontal relationship that brings left and right into definitive oneness, and the love between siblings establishes the relationship between front and back. In this way, God’s ideal of creation is no longer a mere concept or dream. It is perfected in reality through the completion of the four great realms of heart centered on true lineages, family by family.</p>
|
||||
<p>The realm of parental heart is acquired naturally as parents go through the process of bearing children and then raising and educating them with true love. In other words, it is the heart that enables the parents to own true love with respect to the children. Without children, no one can own love as a parent.</p>
|
||||
<p>Next, the realm of conjugal heart is the love relationship that extends true lineage. In this, husband and wife each are grateful for the other having established them as an owner of love, and each learns true love through giving and receiving with the other. They enjoy learning of true love when the husband lives for the sake of his wife, even if it means sacrificing his own life, and the wife attends her husband with the heart of attending God. The perfection of the husband-wife relationship is possible only on this basis.</p>
|
||||
<p>The moment a bride and groom share love on their wedding night with God’s blessing, they inherit the palace of true love, the palace of true life, and the palace of true lineage. The wife, through her husband, receives God’s ideal son, who is also Heaven’s older brother, Heaven’s husband, and Heaven’s parent. The husband stands in the corresponding position in receiving his wife. When the realm of conjugal heart is perfected, the relationship between the husband and wife also becomes absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, because God is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. So the term “divorce” cannot even exist. Theirs will be a life of happiness, filled only with the blossoms of mutual respect and love.</p>
|
||||
<p>Next, how can we describe the heart of children, and how is it obtained? The parents are the center, in God’s position in the family, and it is impossible for a child to be born without parents. For these reasons, the relationship between parent and child is established not by human morality but by a heavenly morality. Thus the parent-child relationship is a vertical relationship, not horizontal. It is not a relationship of destiny, which means that human effort can change it, but it is a relationship of absolute and eternal fate.</p>
|
||||
<p>Children experience and learn the heart of true love as they attend their parents in daily life, placing their parents in a position higher than themselves. Through a natural process, they come to understand that the love, life and lineage that they inherit from their parents originate in God. Children who watch and learn from their parents in this way will grow up to become husbands and wives who have no fallen nature, and ultimately they will obtain the position of true parents themselves. The spherical motion of the family unit that continually repeats the three-generational pattern in this way is the basic model for building the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Lastly, the realm of the heart of siblings arises through brothers and sisters who live as a family in attendance to the same true parents. I said earlier that the heart between brothers and sisters establishes the relationship between front and back. True parents are a husband and wife living in truth, and children who attend such parents will naturally learn the discipline of heavenly morality and ethics among siblings.</p>
|
||||
<p>It will be a beautiful sight, where a younger brother attends and reveres his older brother as he would his father, and the older brother looks after his younger brother with a loving heart. The older brother represents “front” and the younger brother represents “back.” The older brother represents the father, while the younger brother represents the mother. The perfection of the realm of heart between siblings is the foundation for all people to live for the sake of others through love and service.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, as the number of “true peace family kingdoms” perfecting the four great realms of heart increases, “true peace tribe kingdoms,” “true peace nation kingdoms,” and ultimately the “true peace world kingdom” will appear. In this way this will become the original world of God’s ideal, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, the eternal Kingdom of Peace on Earth. I am declaring this here today. Humanity has lived without the certain knowledge that establishing true families is the most serious, foundational commandment of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>A new era has arrived today. The number of people around the world who have received my teaching and are standing resolutely for the sake of building the Kingdom of Peace is growing by leaps and bounds. Heaven and earth are shaking with the cries of bright young people who are determined to build true families even if they must offer their lives in order to protect their purity. Already, we find hundreds of millions of blessed families around the world. These families are shoring up a world in which ethics and morality are rapidly deteriorating.</p>

<p>That is not all. The spirit world is one step ahead of us in breaking open the age of the peace kingdom. Starting with the five great saints, more than 120 billion blessed families are working day and night to cooperate with us on earth and prepare for the day that is to come. According to the Principle of Creation, God’s ideal world should be completed first on earth. Although people today are descendants of the fall, God’s unending love and the spirit world’s cooperation now allow us to understand the nature of the heavenly kingdom. Please recognize that it is time to accomplish a true love revolution of overwhelming proportions, taking as our example the miraculous accomplishments of the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>The time has come for you as well to open your hearts and receive the secrets that Heaven is disclosing in this age through me. In one sense, I am a human being living with a physical body like each of you. But in the context of Heaven’s providence, I am God’s ambassador, sent to earth with His full authority. I am sent to accomplish His command to save the world’s six billion people, restoring them to Heaven with the original goodness in which they were created.</p>
|
||||
<p>The five great saints and many other leaders in the spirit world, including even Communist leaders such as Marx and Lenin, who committed all manner of barbarity and murders on earth, and dictators such as Hitler and Stalin, have found strength in my teachings, mended their ways and been reborn as new persons. Emperors, kings and presidents who enjoyed opulence and power on earth, and even journalists who had worldwide fame, have now placed themselves at the forefront of the column of the true love revolution. Together they have sent to earth a resolution expressing their determination in the light of my teaching of the true family ideal. They have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity’s Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent. This resolution has been announced on every corner of the globe.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, it is now only a matter of time. Look at the world. Do you see anything that gives you real hope for the future? Sooner or later, we have to give what we have to our descendants and leave this world. What gift could be more precious than that of completing the family ideal in your family, so as to guarantee eternal peace and happiness for your children? Surely no one who has such an opportunity should hesitate to take up the task of building the peace kingdom on earth, for which God has waited thousands of years.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have reached the advanced age of eighty-five, by the Korean way of counting. But I will continue to work harder than anyone else until the day the Earth overflows with God’s true families, guns in the Middle East fall silent and give way to fireworks of peace and joy, and shouts of mansei [eternal victory] celebrating the unification of my homeland Korea echo across the Pacific to be heard in America. I hope that you leaders representing the world’s six billion people in this ceremony will join hands with me. I call you to take the lead in building what is God’s original ideal and the desire of all humanity, the peace kingdom on the Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Notes by Rev. Michael Jenkins<br />
|
||||
Breakfast<br />
|
||||
March 1, 2003</h3>
|
||||
<p>At the time of Adam there should have been the establishment of three generations, God as the first, Adam and Eve as the second and their children as the third. Thus, at the fall, God lost his grandchildren. At Jesus time he should have been received by Israel and welcomed. He should have been supported to find a bride and to have a family thus recreating God’s lost grandchildren.</p>
|
||||
<p>This all was restored through the Cheon Il Guk Blessing and Coronation of True Parents as king. This blessing was then given to all blessed couples throughout the world and upon this condition God could claim not only True Parents as the second generation (God being the first) but all True Family together with all Blessed Central Families in the 4th Adam’s position and representing the third generation. Because of this condition Father could establish the Owners of Cheon Il Guk. Family King, Tribal King, National King and World King should be established by each family.</p>
|
||||
<p>Before this the owner of the world is Satan. The ownership has been changed. God’s family must be united centering on the Coronation of God and the Coronation of the King of Blessed Families. Now we are to inherit God’s property and blessing. To do this we have to sever all attachments to the things of the past and offer them all to God. In the process God can then bequeath His inheritance to you. Always God’s blessing to man was blocked by Satan’s accusation. Satan could lay claim to everything. Thus the restoration course is to give up all property and then receive God’s inheritance through the blessing of God. To do this we must also be engrafted into True Parents lineage. Until we secure God’s sovereignty we must be willing to totally sacrifice ourselves and our spouses and children or otherwise Satan can lay claim.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is why Father severed all attachments to any past ownership. Father took his and mother’s name off of any ownership of anything and then at the end of last year in December, Father gave away all of his belongings to the Blessed Central Families. Father gave away 1320 items thus giving everything for Korea. Then Father made a condition for Korea, before the Cheon Il Guk blessing, of giving away all money. Father took a symbolic amount of money representing every penny he could gather and gave it all away to many organizations. This is the time that we shouldn’t have any trace of ownership. This is similar to the time in the Old Testament in which the offering had to made completely. It had to be divided and completely offered. In the New Testament age the children of God were sacrificed centering on God’s son Jesus. The Complete Testament age was that in which the parents are sacrificed. Now Blessed Central Families must take the fourth Adam’s role and fulfill their parental responsibility.</p>
|
||||
<p>All belongings should be offered to God at this time and then inherited back from God. This will eliminate any trace of Satan’s connection. This must be done. When we offer we must offer everything, family, children and all things symbolically. They must be like a purified divided offering. To achieve this we must completely give all we have to God with our whole heart. If we try to keep them for ourselves or with self in mind they will still be linked to the Satanic dominion and will not be liberated.</p>
|
||||
<p>With this heart toward God, achieving God’s sovereignty is not difficult to achieve. That’s why those blessed couples who are registered must connect with and eventually take dominion in their hometowns in the Fatherland.</p>
|
||||
<p>This creates the condition for real hometown and real nation.</p>
|
||||
<p>That’s why True Parents have been investing all their heart and being and everything they have for the sake of the world. Because America represents the world, Father gave the most in this country. Especially the Christian clergy, you should understand. For 33 years Father poured everything into America. Now is the time for the harvest. The fruit is ready to be harvested in America.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you clergy understand True Parents’ dispensation then utilize the missionaries from Japan that I have sent to you. You must take care of them well and work with them. They represent the position of the Mother and the Holy Spirit. Each of you should take two Japanese missionaries into your home and care for them. The Archangel Lucifer stole Eve the Mother of mankind and destroyed God’s ideal. That’s why through them the clergy should set the condition to restore this. The clergy as Archangel should support the Mother and recreate the family together with the Mother by conducting the Blessing of Marriage in your church, community and so forth all the way until the whole nation of America receives the blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p>By taking care of two missionaries representing the Holy Spirit a profound rebirth will occur in your congregation. The clergy should give more attention and love to the Japanese missionaries, restoring what the archangel did to Eve. By giving the missionaries True Love the congregation will then receive rebirth through them.</p>
|
||||
<p>Remember 50 years ago. Japan and America were enemies. The white people of America still feel an enemy feeling toward the Japanese. How about the black people? Father feels that black people, and particularly, black leaders feel differently. They don’t look at the Japanese as enemies. Therefore the black church can be the base through which God can work to bring rebirth. If you really embrace these missionaries then the Hispanic clergy and people are ready to follow. When you create a revival of black and Hispanic Christians that follow this way are whose congregations are experiencing rebirth, then the white Christians will follow. If you proclaim the messiah, do the blessings and embrace the missionaries. Then you must take your followers through the course of interracial marriage. By setting this condition and trend eventually it will become mainstream. Eventually the whole world will follow. If you can accommodate two Japanese missionaries in your home, so much fortune will come. They come in the position of Leah and Rachel. They will give rebirth to your congregation.</p>
|
||||
<p>The black Christian church is supporting God’s dispensation now. If you continue the Hispanic Christians will soon follow and then finally the white Christians will unite. The key are the clergy that are here. Black families should have inlaws from all other races. It has the significance of making unity between South and North and East and West. The crossing line to receive God’s blessing is to cross the line of loving one’s enemies. This is the basis by which you should love the Japanese missionaries and why they must sacrifice their families to love America.</p>
|
||||
<p>Father heard that some black folks complained that Father took a good man like Bishop and married him outside of the black community. But Father is thinking only according to the law of loving one’s enemy. Bishop, your children should marry children from other races. Particularly your children should marry white children. Raise them with that understanding.</p>
|
||||
<p>Asians descended from Shem, Black people descended from Ham and white people from Japeth. Right now the descendants of Japeth are controlling everything by power. The era has now dawned in which the descendants of Ham must become the Elder Son or central position in all fields. This is the law of indemnity. This is the restoration of a heavenly order. At the time of Jesus, Shem’s descendants were in control.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now the Elder son’s role must be restored. If black leaders continue to unite with the coming Lord then they will assume the central role as the Elder son. As the black leaders continue to unite they will become a powerful force for God. This will quickly draw in the unity of the Hispanic Christians and then the white Christians will follow. This is God’s plan at this time.</p>
|
||||
<p>With brotherly love alone you can’t overcome the problems of the division of race and religion. Only through parental love can this be changed.</p>
|
||||
<p>The parental heart must go forth, particularly for those who do the work of God in the field. Few can understand the base and value of the parental heart. You leaders must have the parental heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>The sooner we take down the crosses, the sooner the Second Israel will rise to take ownership of its role. The Second Israel will prosper. You must build a Blessing movement and a movement to take down the cross and lift up the resurrection of Jesus. Then Jesus will be liberated.</p>
|
||||
<p>Father is older now but his mind is stronger and clearer than ever. My mind has not changed even one tiny iota from the direction that I saw for America when I first came here in 1971. There is no change. Our direction is unchanging. We must go through the way of restoration through indemnity. Father’s victory and accomplishment is so vast that what I believed has now been proven to be true. The way of indemnity is the way we must go.</p>
|
||||
<p>The majority of the representatives at the UN are black. The leadership of the UN is black. Unfortunately many leaders want to lead from the top. They don’t want to go to the foundation and become part of it. You must consider Father’s way. The way of indemnity. The bottom of the ladder, in terms of the legs and rungs are taking all the pressure from the whole ladder from the top to the bottom. Though it is the foundation, no one ever sees the bottom rung of the ladder and yet it is the foundation and basis for the whole ladder. The bottom of the ladder gets no glory and yet is the foundation. I want to encourage all of you clergy – beome the bottom rung of the ladder and you will be assured to be placed at the top by God.</p>

Unofficial Notes by Tyler Hendricks<br />

Morning of 31 January 2002<br />
|
||||
Kona, Hawai’i</h3>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> (Continuing the recent messages from Christians in spirit world)</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Oliver Cromwell (English Puritan, 17<sup>th</sup> Century)</b></p>
|
||||
<p>Most people have no idea about what the meaning of Divine Principle is. They usually say it is hard to understand. Therefore even though they finish one cycle, they come a second time to understand it better, but they do not want to reveal it is their second time. I have studied it three times, cover to cover, and understand it more and realize it is a great truth.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the first and second cycles, I had questions, but after the third time, it all became clear. I would like to be equipped with Divine Principle teaching and become the world’s best lecturer of Divine Principle. The Divine Principle teaching can tear down the walls between religions, races and nations. I will go out to the world and shout that regardless of religion, race and nation everyone should come together under Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Please accept me; all the glory is yours.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>John Milton (English Puritan poet, author of “Paradise Lost,” 17<sup>th</sup> Century)</b></p>
|
||||
<p>We need Divine Principle because it answers all the questions about human history, including Cain and Abel. You cannot answer them from the Bible itself; no one came up with clear answers. But because of God’s grace, Rev. Moon came up with the hidden answers. Honorable Sun Myung Moon came as the Lord of the Second Advent to fulfill the unfinished mission of Jesus Christ. Still, Christians believe in unscientific views of Jesus’ Second Advent. People should study Divine Principle seriously. Throughout human history there have been so many painful events and struggles for God and also for Rev. Moon. People have to understand that. Do you know how much misunderstanding there has been about those historical facts?</p>
|
||||
<p>An awesome amount of hidden truth about humankind is hidden in Divine Principle; you have to seek it out.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Jonathan Edwards (American theologian, philosopher, Congregationalist pastor, 18<sup>th</sup> Century)</b></p>
|
||||
<p>America is in the position to help people and love the world. God has no other choice but to love Rev. Moon, because Rev. Moon somehow revealed the heart of God to humankind. American people please understand that Rev. Moon brought the truth to you and blessing to you. You should help him and work with him. This is an issue of life or death for the American people. He is a great man.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we look at Rev. Moon from the spirit world, he is always protected by a light from God. You may not be able to see that from the earth, but remember that he came as the True Parents of humankind, and the proof is the Divine Principle truth, which is revelation from God. We don’t know how to be saved or what will happen after we die. Think about it deeply. When I was on earth, I didn’t know what would happen after I die. I didn’t know the Kingdom of God on Earth or why humankind had to be born with original sin. I didn’t know what happened after the crucifixion. I didn’t know how to solve original sin; these issues bothered me so much on earth. But I was so moved by Divine Principle, because it provided all the answers I needed to have. People have to be reawakened. The youth problems, family and divorce problems: how can we solve them? God loves America. We have to go back to the original spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers.</p>
|
||||
<p>American people are the elder son but they make God sad. Americans, please be alert. Remember, your forefathers built churches before their own houses. Don’t be sucked up by selfish individualism, you have to go with Godism. God still loves America; he wants to see America awake, not asleep. If America lives for herself, God will leave. America is the Garden of Eden on earth. So, whether or not you follow Rev. Moon’s teachings will determine your future. It is life and death. This is Jonathan Edwards’ petition to you.</p>
|
||||
<p>Rev. Moon, thank you for loving American people to this point. Please forgive America for giving you so much pain.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>James Hudson Taylor (American missionary to China, 19<sup>th</sup> Century)</b></p>
|
||||
<p>When I studied Divine Principle, I could not think of anything to compare it to. A gospel, or truth? What is the identity of Divine Principle? No theologian has done a work such as Divine Principle. Theologians, politicians, everyone should study Divine Principle. Divine Principle introduces things that the Bible does not talk about. We know Divine Principle was revealed through Rev. Moon after he paid much indemnity in a difficult course of life. We also learned about parallel time periods through human history. Through Divine Principle, all the different questions have been answered. Divine Principle teaches about God and mankind. So many people live here together, but only a handful study Divine Principle. These are the ones who have their ears and eyes open. Most Christians still believe in the Lord of the Second Advent, but they do not know where and how to meet him.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am not a good talker and cannot express my feelings deeply. But one thing I can tell you is that I will serve and attend True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Frederick Denison Maurice (English founder of Christian Socialism, 19<sup>th</sup> Century)</b></p>
|
||||
<p>God has been walking a lonely path to find his lost children. One day during my earthly life, I was walking on the road and suddenly a bright light appeared and a voice came: “Maurice, Maurice.” The person I saw in the light was bleeding from his ears and eyes. I saw him, and then the voice said, “Maurice, imagine if the person you are looking at is God; what would you do?” I was stunned, and suddenly peace and comfort came over me. I did not understand the meaning of that dream, but now I feel so much struggle. At that time, I didn’t understand the pain and agony God was going through and I don’t know why He couldn’t tell me in the vision. I thought it was the love of God, not the pain and agony of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>God has been waiting too long for his children to mature and recognize him as their father. Rev. Moon came into the physical world with ultimate truth. True Parents came to us to clarify the relationship between God and humankind. True Parents came to open the path. Of course, he came as the Messiah. I feel that the messiah Rev. Moon still will have to go through a lot of difficulties. I pledge I will do my best to build the Kingdom of God. I will also be the pioneer to spread the new gospel. Thank you Rev. Moon. Now I have come to know God and understand the relationship between God and mankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>Maurice’s question: How can you introduce the relationship between spirit world and physical world?</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Lee didn’t answer.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Dietrich Bonhoeffer (German pastor and theologian who conspired to assassinate Hitler during World War II, was captured and died in a concentration camp)</b></p>
|
||||
<p>I never though in my wildest dreams that humanity would meet this precious day of having True Parents. The evil Lucifer destroyed the life of humanity. Lucifer tried in every possible evil way to keep humanity away from God. Communism almost took over the world. It was a strategy of Lucifer’s. Through it, historical atrocities took place. I am equipped with Unificanon Thought and Divine Principle now. Now I have the sword of truth; I will use it to destroy the evil force. I will teach them about the relationship between humankind and God. I would like to clean up Lucifer’s bastion with Divine Principle. It would have been better had Divine Principle been introduced earlier.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have a mission and my life belongs to God. So I dedicate everything to God. But my life was given for the wrong cause and I would like to be compensated (or compensate for that-I think it means he wants credit for what he did even though he is saying it was for the wrong cause, and the credit to apply to his work from now for the Divine Principle-ed.). There is only one God. Human ancestors started on the wrong foot, helping Lucifer to build his kingdom, pretending it was the will of God and pretending that Lucifer was the king. Human history has become the history of Lucifer. Through Godism I would like to unite all the philosophies and -isms. History started in the wrong direction, so we have to restore it. That has been the history of restoration; to attempt to eliminate the history of evil.</p>
|
||||
<p>Another point: the original sin issue. We have to explain to people about the sins and crimes of Lucifer from the beginning. I would like the make a plan to do this. Fifth: people in this world desperately need the Lord of the Second Advent. Through him they can be reborn and receive the blessing. God wants to see all the people on earth join Him.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last, humanity needs a new leader. This is Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Just the fact that he came to the world is our blessing, but on top of that he brought the truth. Did people help him all the way, or attempt to kill him? When all of humankind is united and educated through Divine Principle, humankind has a future. We all have to return to the original garden, in which our parents are waiting for us.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Uchimura Kanjo</b></p>
|
||||
<p>My pride was hurt because I had to learn from a Korean. Why did the Lord of the Second Advent have to come to Korea? All those things bothered me, because they are facts. Everyone has been waiting for the Messiah. Suppose I had been born at the time of Jesus. Would I have served and attended Jesus? I ask that of myself. I think there has to be a revolution of heart; that is the only way to unite Korea and Japan. I am a child of God. Therefore there is a heartistic relationship between God and humankind. Between brothers and sisters there can be fights, but they are related through blood, and so if they fight they can always be cured. But between peoples who are not related by blood, fights lead to creation of enemies. Only through the truth from God can they reconcile and forgive each other.</p>
|
||||
<p>All Japanese people have to listen to Rev. Moon’s teaching; then they can be united with Koreans. I have absolute faith in the teaching that Rev. Moon is True Parents and messiah. He overcame all the obstacles and difficulties in his life. So I will become a filial son to God.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Mother Teresa, Catholic nun and relief worker, 20<sup>th</sup> Century</b></p>
|
||||
<p>I thank you for providing such a precious truth to us. Because of the denial of the truth at the time of Adam and Eve, the human fall took place and the original sin has passed down all the way to us. I thought that serving the poor was the only way I could serve God, but I didn’t know the truth that can change humanity. I didn’t know the real essence of the life of faith. Eternal happiness cannot be separated from eternal life. I, Teresa, lived in the same period as the Lord of the Second Advent. I feel sorry that I could not introduce this ultimate truth from God to the poor and sick that I took care of. That is the pain in my heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am grateful that I could attend this seminar and learn the truth. From now on, I would like to teach this Divine Principle truth to those poor people who need liberation, so that they can become children of God. Divine Principle made my heart feel poor and empty. All those nuns on earth should learn Divine Principle. But I am wondering how we can give this truth to the family members of nuns. I feel sorry for their life as nuns. I am Teresa, Rev. Moon, and I know that God is wanting all humankind to be united and tear down the walls. I would like to invest the life of Teresa to make it of even more noble value.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Gustavo Guttierez, South American liberation theologian, 20<sup>th</sup> Century</b></p>
|
||||
<p>Rev. Moon is the filial son of all sons, because he is the one who understood the heart of God that was filled with pain and agony. All the major theologians and leaders surely have struggled a lot with the Bible. I saw many of them praying quietly, searching for answers to those questions even after coming to spirit world. Many people have the same kind of questions: they don’t know God, who God is. All these lifelong questions are answered by the Unification Church teaching, the Divine Principle. People do not understand God, even though they are born with an original nature that seeks God. This original character is not something obtained after birth, but is innate.</p>
|
||||
<p>True Parents, I do not care if you are not the Messiah, but you came up with the truth so you are the greatest teacher of humankind, and as True Parents I will follow you, the greatest teacher.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Paul Tillich, German theologian, 20<sup>th</sup> Century</b></p>
|
||||
<p>The author of Divine Principle is God, and Rev. Moon is the editor. No one knows how much suffering and struggle those earnest theologians and Christian leaders endured because of the wrong understanding of the Bible. All those parables and symbolic teachings have been clearly explained by Divine Principle. The CT era is the era in which the author and editor of the new truth will appear; the messiah and revelator is Rev. Moon. By sending Rev. Moon, God’s tormented heart is now comforted. God created the Garden of Eden and gave the blessing, but because of Adam and Eve’s mistake, human history started on the wrong foot. God’s heart filled with agony. Look at the world now. One place is abundant with wealth and material things and another lacks everything and is starving and dying. They need to unite and share everything. Divine Principle provides the foundation for a true love revolution. From Divine Principle, people will learn how to live. So we need to be humble before the Divine Principle teaching. All the Christian leaders and believers should master Divine Principle first and become the teachers. I’m sure Divine Principle can inspire everyone if they study. So you believers, Christians, please study Divine Principle. Get rid of your prejudice and concepts and study it.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Teihard de Chardin, French monk / anthropologist, 20<sup>th</sup> Century</b></p>
|
||||
<p>When I came to know God, I lived my life following his will. But I didn’t know which direction was correct. I thought I followed the right way, but now I see it was wrong and am repentant. Divine Principle now is known all over the world, but my heart is aching because we did not have Divine Principle. God, as you know, the life of Christian monks is not an easy one. Please, God, save all those lonely souls in the spirit world and physical world. The right attitude is to serve and attend God. We were unfortunate not to have Divine Principle in our lifetime, so help and forgive us. Rev. Moon, has any Vatican pope studied Divine Principle? No. God is the father of humankind; why should Roman Catholicism have this problem? The pain of my heart is the same as the pain of the Catholic Church.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Thomas a Kempis, Dutch mystic, 15<sup>th</sup> Century</b></p>
|
||||
<p>God is the father of mankind, the God of dual characteristics, and He loved his children even though we made a blood relationship with Satan. I learned that there is not a literal judgment of fire (James 3:16). Divine Principle teaches answers about the spirit world clearly and the relationship between the spiritual and physical body, and the original sin and the meaning of resurrection, why we need the providence of restoration, the parallels of history and when the return of the Lord of the Second Advent will take place. Who is Rev. Moon and what is he? Divine Principle is not a truth that can be found through human effort. The contents are not “may be true,” but “must be true.” We never had the chance to have such a precious truth to this point. God is the only God and father of mankind. The messiah is Rev. Moon. Before him, all humankind can become one. Let us be equipped with the truth of the CT era.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> What about you, sitting in this room? Where do you think you will be located in the spirit world? The liberation of God and all those historical figures has been secured. Do you need help? Don’t become a slave of money. When we talk about up, we talk about below. Having “up” presupposes that you have “below.” It is the same thing with right and left, front and rear. By the same token, the same logical relationship applies to man and woman. Perfected Adam and Eve, who have mind and body absolutely united, should build the true family to become the manifestation of God’s love. Look at the world now; it is a world of chaos. Look at married life based on pre-nuptial contracts. The true seed should be passed down from generation to generation in your lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>To whom does your mouth belong? God. Are there two owners? We have to say glory to God with all our senses. The ultimate purpose is to serve and attend God. The five senses do not fight one another. We have to bear the true seed, so that we can pass it down to our generations, and not be like the fig tree with no fruit that Jesus cursed.</p>
|
||||
<p>Hawai’i is in a strategic location, as the bridge between east and west. Normally, the most precious things are hidden, such as air and love. The most hidden thing is love. You can detect air, but love cannot be seen with the eyes. Love can be the source of power. Love for the sake of others will last forever. Wherever you go, love is welcomed. It is the center of all four directions. It takes the central position. That is the eternal truth. Power, knowledge, money may take one direction, but not all directions. That is why you can bring unity through them. That is why selfish individualism is not the tool to unite people, because it represents only one small direction.</p>
|
||||
<p>Where can you find spirit world? In the center in which true love dwells. The true love center is where we find God. There, we have to have absolute faith, love and obedience. Do you have true love? Satan used to dominate day and night. Now we have to eliminate Satan. Orientals and westerners cannot unite without the exertion of true love power in that effort. Our task is first to know God, then to know the spirit world. Where are you heading? I assigned 72 missionaries to Hawai’i. Why? Because Hawai’i is an extension of Japan. <i>Chaju guk sungri kwon shidae.</i></p>
|
||||
<p>We have to change our lifestyle, not just being fond of what we like, but being fond of what we like and what we dislike. [P. Kim: it means to embrace our enemy.] We have to be able to create a legacy of keeping God’s tradition. We have to know, during our lifetime, in terms of the providential timetable in relation with our own life, whether it is time for breakfast, lunch, or to go to bed. Where are you heading? Do you want to walk the course that heaven and earth and will welcome, or just live for your own country? The practice of living for the sake of others can be found in the individual for the family, family for the tribe, tribe for the nation. Once you, as husband and wife, secure absolute unity of mind and body, it is natural to form a true family, because man and woman both are born for the sake of love. [Discussion of concave and convex.]
|
||||
<p>The ultimate purpose of religion is to build the true family on the level beyond nation, race and religion. It is possible only through the Blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p>Our goal is to serve the parents of heaven and earth, and become couples of heaven and earth and build the family of heaven and earth. Where are we heading? What about westerners? They should go to the orient, and Orientals to the occident. If you want to keep receiving, you become a thief. It has to be reciprocated. A father or mother cannot claim that position without children, because children make them parents. It is the same with husband and wife; we cannot claim to be a husband without a wife, and siblings without siblings. So your value comes from your partner, and it is natural that we have to live for the sake of others.</p>
|
||||
<p>Settlement is the foundation for a safe settlement. As baby birds grow, they learn how to fly from their parents. By the same token, we need to learn from our parents how to become autonomous. What do you want to become? A world leader who will be recognized as a filial son, patriot, saint and divine son? Do you have the true seed within you? Your conscience knows. As mind and body have their unique functions and roles, even though my children graduated from good colleges and graduate schools, I don’t care and I ask them to go to UTS.</p>
|

<p>We have to secure at least seven generations. The theologians and religious leaders are watching the theological institutes I have established, like UTS and Sun Moon University. So we have to provide a good quality of education. A tree provides at least a root, trunk, branch, leaf and seeds. Which part do you want to become? A root, trunk or seed? Nature has been created in a way such as to preserve the different species unless there is a disturbance. Some seeds fly from one place to another to multiply. Some take a year to germinate. There are all different types and levels. [To the Korean leaders:] Do you want to go to UTS or work here in Hawai’i? [We will follow your direction.]
|
||||
<p>There are twelve types of characters, like the 12 months and 12 disciples of Jesus. So we should learn how to embrace each of the 12. Do you want to start from the zero point or from the 10-degree point? We have to remember that even if we join spirit world, we will know and understand God only as much as we understand Him here on earth; not more, not less. We have to secure the zero point and, when necessary, go back there for a new start. The zero point is where you may have the chance to find God. The terrible phenomena of the contemporary world, such as the so-called sexual liberation, which consists of free sex and homosexuality, are the last signs of the secular world, nothing more. So history has to go back to the zero point again.</p>
|
||||
<p>Mrs. —, where is your elder son? Is he going the right direction? Even the true children have to go the normal way, on the same level as others. For many years, I fasted on my birthday.</p>
|
||||
<p>I may be a kingmaker, but I will never serve as the president of a nation. President Bush in his State of the Union address the other day called North Korea, Iran and Iraq the major terrorist nations. North Korean people are so stubborn and aggressive, they are determined to build a kingdom even with communism, and that is why they are considered dangerous as a terrorist state.</p>
|
||||
<p>The testimonies from the people in spirit world make it impossible to deny … What is your opinion on these testimonies [to the former presidents]. [It is true and should be publicized more.] That is true. The new document should be translated into English as soon as possible and distributed throughout the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>We know about God clearly. Who is our father? God is our father. What is the meaning of the blessing and true family? It is true Adam’s family. Who was Adam’s family head? God. Therefore God is our father. Who gave you your name, your father or God? Your physical parents gave you your name, and we have to negate it. Do people of the Cholla province and Kongsan province still fight with each other? Cholla people are more expressive; if they like it or don’t like it, they say so easily. People have characteristics based on their province. Some are good in business. The people of the northernmost province near Russia, Hamyoung, are stingy and good businessmen. They can make money, the saying goes, by selling river water. Cholla province people may want to sell the whole world. They are good as diplomats because they are talkative and expressive. Many key Unification Church leaders are from Cholla: Rev. Yu, Rev. Hwang, Dr. Yang.</p>
|
||||
<p>Don’t try to establish your own foundation, but try to establish a foundation to teach Divine Principle, not a foundation to lead your life comfortably. I said to print the messages from the Christians in spirit world, but there was some compromise. Our leaders are chairman not because of his career but because Father is standing behind them. If you don’t work well, the blessing will leave America. The message from spirit world has to be given without alteration.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am from Pyong-an province. One of my grandfathers graduated from a seminary and was a Confucian scholar. He was a friend of Syngman Rhee and the minister of a church. After I returned from Japan, I felt the need to learn the languages and cultures of Korea’s neighbors, China and Russia. I was on my way to Manchuria, but suddenly I turned around and worked for an electrical company for one year. I changed my mind about going to Manchuria. We all have to learn different languages, at least English, Japanese and Korean.</p>
|
||||
<p>The machine factories in Germany-the goal was not fulfilled. Tongil heavy machinery, Il Hwa, McCol-[Father reminiscences]. I owned a house above the Blue House, and a fortune teller told President Park, Chung Hee, that it was creating bad fortune for Korea. So they sent a truck full of money to buy the house, about $5 million, and I sent the truck away and gave them the house for free. I would not get entangled with their money. Former Korean presidents may have enjoyed their position for a few years, but so what? They are all condemned now. Korea has been riddled with scandals. When they were running for office, I gave them good advice and they promised they would follow it, but once they were elected, they broke all their promises. It is typical of politicians, Japanese politicians too. Volunteers from the Unification Church, with my encouragement, turned the tide in Reagan’s first campaign for the presidency. The presidency, on the condition that the president is vertically connected to God, should be a 16-year term. Then he can be elected again, and then his wife or younger brother.</p>
|
||||
<p>Cholla province people are disadvantaged in Korea, so you should go out of Korea. The world is big, with 180 nations. We have to learn Japanese, because you meet Japanese people everywhere in the world. Usually the Japanese are respected.</p>
|
||||
<p>The main building at Sun Moon University cost about $45 million. We have a major in Pure Love at Sun Moon University. For that class, smoking and drinking are causes for expulsion.</p>
|
||||
<p>If I die, you will left alone. So is the <i>chaju guk</i> centered on you or me? [You.] But I will be in spirit world. [Even in spirit world you will govern us.] Is it an easy lie, or true?</p>
|
||||
<p>If I order you today to go to UTS, the president of UTS will help you get the student visa. Once you graduate from UTS, you can go for a Ph.D. I wish I could study at UTS too. But my memory is weakening.</p>
|
||||
<p>If there were one man and two women, with no one else around, would there be peace or fighting? You all have Japanese wives, but aren’t Korean women closer in spirit to Korean men? International marriage is not easy; you must be crazy. Eventually all races will be mixed into one basket. You may call yourself a British born Korean, or a Korean born British, or whatever. Am I a fool for marrying many people inter-racially? [No, you are a genius.] In the beginning when I first initiated it, there was so much opposition from parents in Japan. Now many of those opposing parents are positive because they see wonderful grandchildren. I am the champion of arranging international marriages.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am the father of criminals, because once I give them the blessing they call me father.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you want to go to UTS, you can go. You decide.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>[Rev. Baek Joong Ku, RD of Los Angeles, offers a testimony.]</b> About 20 years ago, I met a mysterious man who called me on the phone. I was a church leader. He told me he knew how to get to my church. Exactly thirty minutes later he showed up at the doorstep, even though our church was not easy to find. He was in his thirties; he looked handsome and intelligent. He had clear, deep eyes. He introduced himself as a monk who was pursuing jangsoo teaching, the teaching of those who go into the mountains for enlightenment. He had ability to read people’s minds. He could figure out what someone far away is thinking about. While he was meditating in the mountains, he obtained that ability. He had that much power. But he didn’t know how he got it. He started channeling; it was not his own voice that I heard.</p>
|
||||
<p>Some people have power to break a rock with their fist. He had stronger power than that. He could hurt people without even touching them. The reason he came to my church was because our name had the word, Holy Spirit, and he wanted to find the source of his power, so he visited many places that had the word “spirit” in its name. He wanted to find an answer to where his power came from. I started teaching him Divine Principle, about the relationship between spirit world and physical world, and returning resurrection. I explained that one of his ancestors who was enlightened was helping him. That is why he was speaking someone else’s words.</p>
|
||||
<p>He agreed with that, and stayed for three hours and studied Divine Principle. He was grateful. His name was Hong. The next day he called again, and I told him on the phone that right now he has a good spirit, but his door is open and evil spirits might sneak in. So you had better take care of your relationship with your ancestor. When I met him, I asked him about fasting. He smiled and said that he did so many fasts, even 100-day fasts in the mountains. I asked what you eat and he said he gets nutrition from the air. In deep meditation you can see balls of energy floating in the air and you can catch them.</p>
|
||||
<p>I asked him, how did you find my church, without directions? He said, when I spoke to you over the phone, I caught your ki (life energy) and I followed it. His teacher has that ability too, but his level was higher than his teacher. There are such holy men seeking enlightenment in the Himalayas. Through Divine Principle, that holy man found the answer about the relationship between good and evil spirits. When I hear the testimonies from Christian leaders in spirit world, I believe in the power of Divine Principle. Divine Principle is great.</p>

[Rev. Ku offers the closing prayer.]

17 May 2003</h3>
|
||||
<p>Joon-ho Seuk made a foundation by pioneering a difficult path like an obedient sheep. Previously, the Soviet communists did all kinds of things together with orthodox Christians, trying to drive out our family and social activity foundations. Nowadays, how many people gather at Moscow University? (About five hundred, most of them university students.) There are more than a thousand core members in Russia. Centering on our young members, the city wants to adopt our ways in the field of education. How great it would have been if America had supported us! We could have won the nation over. Now I’ve made the Original Focus Holy Ground, the Root Holy Ground and the Victory Holy Ground at sea [i.e. in the Pantanal] to build the world palace. What pitiful circumstances.</p>
|
||||
<p>So God directly commanded Sang-hun Lee to restore everyone, ending with Maria Park, and beholding this tragic reality, Sang-hun Lee wailed as he reported back to God. He said that his heart was broken and blamed himself for what he had seen. Yet it’s not Sang-hun Lee’s responsibility but that of the Unification Church; did they not oppose and persecute the Unification Church? I immediately understood God’s calling. Can I lead the Providence from the formation, growth to the perfection level, bring the satanic world to salvation, achieve South and North Korea’s reunification, meet the day when I could bless saints and criminals alike, and bridge the division between Cain and Abel? Who’s the son of Maria Park? (It’s Kang-suk Lee.) We should liberate the three, including Kang-suk Lee and then, centering on Hwal Lan Kim, restore all the Christian groups. I told him to work on restoring all the ringleaders of the modern era. But it stopped with Young-soon Kim. That shouldn’t be the case. I told you to liberate the American presidents from the twelfth to the thirty-third, but that was delayed. This time, I asked Daemo-nim, Dr. Sang-hun Lee, Heungjin-nim and the other True Children to assemble in Cheongpyeong to educate Korean and Japanese royalty back to the thirty-eighth generation so that they will testify and prepare themselves. Do you understand? Chung-hwan Kwak, you should bring those who oppose our work and have them listen to the testimonies of their ancestors, up to the seventh or eighth generation. Have their ancestors testify to their descendants so that they can understand and obey my word and eventually take the place of loyal subjects. Educate them with the list of those who passed away; and through that, get rid of religions. You should understand that.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, if the UN is taken care of, we can have the Providence accepted by the world in an instant. To me, the third and fourth years of the Cheon Il Guk are a very important period. May, June and July this year are important. By July, we should be able to win over America based on the unity of the UN, no matter how much military, economic or political power America has. Until now, nobody opposed the united efforts of the religious realm.</p>
|
||||
<p>Events held by religious organizations … there are not so many religions that focus on interfaith work. Aren’t there thirteen religions? All of them should make a pilgrimage for saints. Even if there are thousands or tens of thousands of denominations under the great world religions, the written resolutions made by the founders of the great religions must be the mainstream under God’s protection. It wasn’t based on my desire; God and the spirit world needed it. That’s why Dr. Sang-hun Lee lit the fuse. Now, it’s unmanageable even in the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>We saved the elder son, the realm of the blessing in the angelic world and put it in a place higher than Satan’s. By putting the lineage of true love, true life and true lineage higher than the completion stage of the growth period, I got people married. I’m not making this up. From the providential point of view, the great confusion in the final stage will be happening. Everything will be shaken up. In the last days, the whole world will be shaken. The time has come; so nobody owns anything. Dong-moon Joo is not the owner, the newspaper has no owner, the nation has no owner, the religions have no owner, there are no owners, and the heavenly nation has no owners. God, in an effort to find the rightful owner, found me in the place of Adam. Centering on the original position of Adam’s family, if Cain and Abel who were enemies to each other are blessed together equally, the whole can be covered from the top. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>The blessing of 360 million couples sounds like a dream. We were so fast in blessing them all, weren’t we? Did Korea win first place or not? (Korea did well.) Centering on that, what came next? Centering on our sons and daughters, we launched the pure love movement! How persecuted we have been! We staged demonstrations and other things to get rid of communism in the congress. We made a foundation with close to nine or ten million people from school principals to students’ parents. Centering on the family, I alone performed God’s coronation. We don’t have God’s nation and our blood lineage changed from God’s. Placing God upon His rightful throne through the coronation was like a dream. You must understand it. It’s inevitable.</p>
|
||||
<p>The nation went upside down and humankind lost God’s nation. Because God didn’t have His nation, He couldn’t hold the wedding ceremonies, could He? (No, He couldn’t.) He had neither hometown nor land. He couldn’t register marriages and therefore couldn’t register childbirths. No. That’s how things were with God, our Father. Looking at this world, in which humankind lived their entire lives as children of His own enemy, God could neither open his eyes nor breathe. In that stifling reality, no one but I could take care of the situation. Who can ever bring the UN into unity? I can. That’s the only way the spirit world can be mobilized from the formation realm of the first Israel, the Old Testament age, the growth level of the second Israel, the New Testament age of revival realm, and the perfection stage of the Completed Testament age with Parents’ victory. From the top of the UN that used to belong to Satan, all the political realm can be restored back to the realm of the Blessing. The false olive trees will be grafted onto true olive trees in an instant. Not only your children, but all your relatives should drink the holy wine. Even a fetus in a mother’s womb can be liberated. If the mother drinks it, that is the <i>ceremony of rebirth</i>.</p>
|
||||
<p>After the birth, everyone must cut off from the ties of Satan by the age of sixteen. That is the <i>ceremony of resurrection</i>. Through the ceremony of rebirth in the womb, and the ceremony of resurrection, people can go to a position higher than Adam’s. Because there is no original soil to create yourselves in, you must find your bodies to make the foundation of recreation. You must create yourselves, and then you must fight against Satan and win him over to take things back. You must win over three cities, three nations and three big brothers, only then, you can go beyond the realm of liberation on the family level. That all sounds like a dream. Now, I must tell you things generally. Have you had any dreams of such a thing? Angels and the spirit world did everything they could; what you, blessed families, should do is to find your spiritual children to have them be your heirs and to receive the Blessing. After fifty-eight years, how many couples have you blessed? That’s what the Principle teaches. I gave out awards at the True Parents’ birthday celebrations. Three times seven make twenty-one. Centering on the national foundation, there are 2,100 and the UN is 2,100. They are all like that. Before the year 2005, I awarded 2,100 representatives who can protect the victorious kingship. I couldn’t do it by myself. With God’s supervision, I did it through the lottery.</p>
|
||||
<p>I also gave away things. Bequeathing thirteen kinds of things, how many was it in all? More than a thousand. Those who took responsibility and sacrificed in the African outback received eight or nine items. God is truly working. Centering on those people, He wants to establish tradition and standards. Didn’t you all think that? You became the bones. Because Jesus couldn’t create his own family by the age of thirty-one, centering on the number thirty-six, centering on 3 years and 6 years, you should make the total living offering to restore the kingship, going from the individual, through the familial, tribal, national and up to the world UN level.</p>
|
||||
<p>There should be worldwide celebrations everywhere in cities and villages in the name of True Parents, celebrating the kingship of love for eternity. We should offer ourselves to God saying, “You should become the owner of the lineage of one people and one nation, and the owner of the ideal of creation of eternity! May You be the King of All-Immanence, Omnipotence and All-Transcendence!” God gave us physical bodies for our sake and not for Himself. God made the physical bodies of humanity so that we could create the family of spiritual perfection. That’s why you can’t give birth to children in the spirit world. In the substantial realm, through the unity of sexual organs, the love of Adam and that of Eve were meant to be fulfilled together. After the wedding, God could have embodied Himself in the unity of Adam and Eve. The wedding of God’s ideal could have been the fruit of the heavenly kingdom of the cosmic reign of peace. If a generation lived for twenty years, four generations would have spanned eighty years. If it lived for thirty years, then four generations would have spanned 120 years. If it lived for forty years, then four generations would have spanned 160 years. Those periods are for humanity to realize perfection while having physical bodies in the original world. After physical life, people are to live with God in the spirit world for eternity in the realm of the kingdom. Human beings have it better than God because they can directly live in the substantial realm of creation and in the independent life realm beyond the abstract concept.</p>
|
||||
<p>True Parents, on behalf of God, came and clearly restored the entire universe, even hell, that had been stained by Satan. Now we have completed the substantial realm where no restoration is necessary and where we all can live for eternity. Clap your hands and say, “amen.” Shout “100 million manseis!”. With the settlement of liberation, all people can enter the heavenly kingdom. It is the age of the great transition to the ideal of creation. Do you understand? The time has come. But what is the newspaper doing or the UPI for that matter? They should work together to unite Cain and Abel in the UN. What is Korea doing? True Parents are the only chance you have.</p>
|
||||
<p>All nations together should set up UN tradition and constitution from the top down; so when people commit crimes, they should be punished immediately. We should educate them to be new people from the bottom of hell. We should teach those criminals the heavenly way so that they could be restored back to their original position. True Parents can raise people up that way. As a True Parent, I make a decisive proclamation. Here, what should the upper house and the lower house of the UN do? They should introduce the Unification Church and True Parents. The realm of the third Israel is divided into two fighting for life and death. The moment has come when it can blow up any moment. So I can’t just stay here doing nothing. I have made the foundation by having given everything. This isn’t nonsense; it’s true. If things go well and South and North Korea don’t break apart, we will have a victory. Though the UN doesn’t move, it wants to learn from me.</p>
|
||||
<p>President Bush gets to connect to the mother nation, Japan, the Eve nation. Bush must fulfill the elder son’s position, which Britain failed to do. Representing the Abel side, we had to do it in five or six cities. There is no other way than to push forward. You should push forward until the age of your children’s generation. The time has come. The fall that had happened in Cain’s family, the whole thing, is being restored through the synchronism of history. In order to restore a family, the entire nation stands in the position where Jesus failed. By restoring the blood lineage, representing Adam’s family, the representatives of Adam and Eve must restore the lineage centering on Jesus. If the Israelites and Judaism had united with Jesus and had the same destiny with him, the world today would be very different; you wouldn’t even need Rev. Moon.</p>
|
||||
<p>Although there have been many victorious sons and daughters in Israel, Israel was part of the satanic world. It won a victory independently. But why was the first Israel broken so that God would need the second? The first Israel should have built the national realm and automatically multiplied in the world to have the power of one united government, something like the UN. However, Israel failed. That’s why things had to happen the way they did; so through the crucifixion, christology, the idea of the Lord of the Second Advent. And the robbers on the left side and on the right side were enemies. There was no true Christianity. Because the traditional innocence was lost, I had no choice but to push things forward centering on the reunification of North and South Korea, centering on Britain, which used to be the center of the world, and America. Although all the battles were fought by Britain, America inherited the position to be the center of the second Israel, so it had to begin anew as a new country.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have been here thirty-three or thirty-four years. The time has come for complete liberation through indemnifying the standard of the realm of heavenly liberation. I must unite even the enemies of the interreligious and international movement, the NGOs, destructive elements in heaven and earth centering on unification thought. I should make unification thought the mainstream tradition of world history and then we should lead the movement to unite Muslims, the Islamic religion. Muslims have been in struggle with America and the Soviet Union., but we should have them lead the movement of liberation and unification, just like Barabbas did. Then, Christianity can start the Christian unity movement. Communists can be included in it. At the founding of the UN, Christianity should have been the center of history, but the leftists infiltrated it. Why? Because America failed to fulfill its responsibility.</p>
|
||||
<p>Centering on pirates, Britain became an empire on which the sun never set. She had her queen. At the time when a wife had to be chosen for the Lord of the Second Advent, if Britain had welcomed the queen of the Lord of the Second Advent, and if the Lord of the Second Advent had blessed the aristocrats, then people would have been united centering on God’s blood lineage. Everyone would have been brothers and sisters to each other. That way, the providence would have developed worldwide. Heaven and earth would have been in the palm of the Lord’s hand. False olive trees would have grafted onto true olive trees. That was a sure way. All trees, all the greenery would have inherited heavenly love, life and lineage to solely belong to God. They can all stand in the heavenly subject and object relationship. Each being can be the individual truth body in the position of harmony. On this foundation, people can have God’s bones and skin to have the joy of the original sung sang and original hyung sang in the subject and object relationship centering on peace and harmony.</p>
|
||||
<p>So far the holy wine symbolized blood. Centering on love and blood, people connect to Father and Mother’s blood and love by drinking the holy wine. Not only that, but also to connect to the bones. Sweat, tears and blood are what we must pour out in this world. We must sacrifice our lives if we need to. No one can deny that history has developed following the laws of Creation. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>That’s why I can dream dreams that God Himself never dreamed. I’m that kind of person. I can believe the things even God can’t believe. I can do things even God can’t. That’s why God hated me more than Satan hated me. He had to strike people on the Abel side because of me, and told me to win over Cain. From that perspective, persecution is the second and indirect strategy for God to bequeath to humanity. Do you understand? This is a logical solution. This is the clear principle.</p>
|
||||
<p>If I started hating my enemies, I could harbor hatred stronger than anyone else’s. If I made up my mind, when I see my enemies, I could burn the whole world up, such is the intensity of my heart; but I went beyond that because of God. Because I knew about God’s mortal pain and His tradition, I came to learn to love my enemies. I forgot the names of my enemies. I forgot them all. God, my Father, loved His enemies and pioneered that unbelievable path. You should all pioneer the path of restoration through paying indemnity. After completing pioneering, you should walk the principle course just like Adam and Eve did. You must absolutely obey in walking the course. The realm of objects created by your absolute obedience and dedication are the foundation of absolute love and absolute obedience. I’ve paved the foundation for the spirit and body together to be one with God’s blood lineage on this earth, the substantial realm by giving the blessing diligently. That’s how it is in heaven and on earth. On this foundation, I pioneered the age of God’s kingship and have the declaration of the parents of heaven and earth opening Cheon Il Guk. That was the declaration announcing that finally Parents could have the holy wedding. Is it false or true?</p>
|
||||
<p>You’ll know the truth only after things have matured. Did you understand, Dong-moon Joo? You didn’t know. Satan didn’t either. Only God alone knows my way of pioneering. Our ancestors fell because of their ignorance of God’s heart. I pioneered the path with the standard of absolute faith by pouring my tears, blood and sweat. That’s how I could pay the indemnity for our ancestors’ failure. That’s how I could do amazing things. I have no fear. I’ve been very close to death several times. My life doesn’t belong to me. By having been in prison, I have crossed over peaks. This man who needs God’s love made up a plan to connect South and North Korea. Even in prison, I received revelations and made plans. Nobody can ever deny the inside story. Even if all nations or even all heaven and earth deny what I have been through, God can vouch for it. Christianity and other religions hated me, and nations hated me. Even God couldn’t teach me how to do things. Where would God go? Who did all the blessing and who knew all this? Did Mother know it? Did I have the mother and children of victory? Who else knew what I knew?</p>
|
||||
<p>You should pioneer your course and walk up step by step. I’ve given you the blessing by placing you beyond the perfection level of the growth stage where the archangel fell so that you could have the liberation with absolute obedience. Because the Lord of the Second Advent on earth went beyond the standard of the blessed families in the spirit world, those who went beyond the standard of the spirit world can be placed in my younger brother’s position as soon as I connect them, who are in the position of having the separated body of Adam at the age of sixteen, to my victorious blood lineage anew. Because the resurrection of the Second Adam was established, we are in the realm of liberation in which Satan can’t oppose my engrafting of lineage. I give you an example: there is a big olive tree with a third of it belonging to heaven and two thirds to the other side, but the heavenly one third can have true olives and graft themselves onto the rest, and eventually, the entire tree can have olives. Satan needs such true seeds. We need them here on earth as well as in the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>When the blessed families graft onto the true olive tree, they take three, five or seven years to be true olive trees themselves. When they turn into true olive trees, those who are on the other side can know it too. By cutting off the buds and branches and pouring caustic soda, we could get rid of false olive trees, and those dead false olive trees can be manure for the new life (true olive trees). That way, we can restore the substantial realm back and call out the sons and daughters in the hell of death through the providence of resurrection. The culmination of the providence is the complete acknowledgement of the perfection of True Parents. Although the thirty-six couples were thrown out because of their failures, nobody can oppose them any more if they surpass the standard of other blessed families. This Day of All True Things was a special privilege. By educating all things, we should restore them. You can go beyond the highest level of making good conditions. Women make about twenty times more conditions than men. It’s the principle that the Ambassadors for Peace can go beyond the fall that was stained by the archangel, in the position of Adam’s younger siblings.</p>
|
||||
<p>It’s the garden of mountains and rivers. I should make the world scale federation and love minerals more than anyone else on behalf of God. From the point of view that I own all nature, I declared the return of the oceans. Am I right or not? (You’re right.) After that declaration, I declared the return of the land, the return of the world of the cosmos, and then the return of the realm of the fourth Adam. Yes, I did it all. What’s funny is, who can really believe in all this? Even God Himself doesn’t want to believe it because He doesn’t have His own principled world. Only I set this absolute standard. God had to follow me to go over this. Because I won the victory and inherited it as my own, God can have the logical foundation to establish it back. So where are the blessed families in the picture? All of them stand beyond the lineage of the fallen Adam and in the position of my victory. Because I bequeathed the blessing in the position of mature Adam, blessed families can completely go beyond the dominion of Satan. You’ve become a complete positive. Therefore, you should automatically go beyond the false positives.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now in this world, the Bush administration went beyond the realm of the Archangel. From the external point of view, he held the power and the Adam-like position. However, internally, he doesn’t know that he should use all the fallen leaves of the Fall as fertilizer centering on God. He doesn’t know about it; I’m the one who knows it, so I am creating the united system of religions as fast as I can. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>Everyone should go to a good family. A husband and wife who are in the position of children must find the mother. I was opposed, persecuted and received all kinds of beatings in eighteen nations. I had to restore my wife and my own children. That’s how I led the Unification Church. There is no forgiveness in the law of indemnity. If you try to keep your face and dignity, how will you end up? You’ll be in hell as the king of dung. You must create a hole through which your tribe can escape. The logical conclusion is that there is a way for the whole to be revived with the spring of the water of life. That’s why Rev. Moon tries not to hesitate for even a second.</p>
|
||||
<p>With this work we have crossed over another peak. You don’t know how worried I have been about South Korea as well as North Korea. Now, I must teach President Roh how to harmonize with the America and go forward. We should educate our people so that we can build a nation in which people can live better than Americans. If there were no communists, Korea could surpass America economically. The communists are ruining it. Containers are stuck at the port of Pusan. Those who are on the Cain side are ruining this nation. Because the time has come, people will ask for a thirty percent raise. For three years, they will ask for fifty percent and seventy percent raises. Instead, if you digest the labor union and work on the spot, I’ll give a raise higher than you ask for. That way, there will be owner labor unions, won’t there? If President Roh Moo-hyun could do such a thing, he could be president of the world. North Korea would follow. Sang-kwon Park, how many centuries will it take for the development of the world’s economy? It might take at least 120 years. Or it might take just thirty-four years. You should go forward with confidence.</p>
|
||||
<p>The leaders of South Korea, President Roh, and Kim Jong-il in the North, Cain and Abel should unite. Joon-ho Seuk and Bo-hi Pak met with past high-ranking officials in China and Russia. Because the systems in their nations changed, those high-ranking officials are mostly in trouble. Our representatives met them and in the position of the ambassadors of the second Israel and in the position of the first savior. The power of China and the power of Russia will level and they will educate their satellites. In return, those satellite countries will become more developed. Then China and Russia will have to come around. It’s restoration. Centering on China and Russia, we should educate the North Korean youth. Did you talk about such a thing or not, Sang-kwon Park? (Yes, I did.) Then I said that I could prepare a house and a nation if and when Kim Jong-il runs away. When he comes here and finds out all the background to reach where we are, he can never hate me. Even if he doesn’t want it, he would have to make me his big brother, his teacher or his uncle. Although I didn’t make a brotherly relationship with Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il is like my nephew. As soon as I create any sort of human relationship with Kim Jong-il, I’ll start to be more casual in talking to him, calling him Jong-il! Do you understand what I’m saying? When I win over the UN, such a thing is possible. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>Putting ambassadors in front we can have secret meetings. It’s quite simple. Self-centeredness heads toward the hell of individualism, but now people should be other-centered. Others aren’t others. In the world of restoration, we become other-centered and create a new ownership. Because we live in God’s realm, if we live centering on other-centered self-consciousness, and live for the sake of others, we can all enter the Heavenly Kingdom. Others aren’t others any more. We have entered the age when we can organize things with our children. If you know it but you don’t do anything about it, you’re doomed. In the spirit world, if you didn’t take responsibility for yourselves, I won’t take responsibility for you even if you’re blessed members. I taught you everything in detail day and night.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even if the gate of the Heavenly Kingdom is open, blessed families can’t enter it as they please. You can’t even get into paradise. You must prepare to cross over your own peaks, restore the formation level of Adam’s failure with the growth-level Adam, and by becoming the growth-level Adam, you should achieve the perfected Adam. That’s the principle of restoration, the official theory. If I go to the spirit world, all the blessed families, all the thirty-six couples say that we should make so-and-so join as a blessed family, through Dr. Sang-hun Lee in the spirit world. After Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, the realm of the twelve apostles was revived. Looking at that, the Completed Testament age is more advanced than the New Testament age. Everyone comes to me to ask my pardon on behalf of so-and-so. Everyone will have to receive permission from the True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>It’s all completed. The foremost external problem of the world is to take care of North Korea and the religious world. No one can manage the religious world. I can, however. Dong-moon Joo, you should understand it. You should quickly create a religious federation. That’s so much more important than the State Department, isn’t it? It’ll be the key to open up the realm of death. I’ve invested so much to open up the realm of religions centering on the Unification Church. If all my life’s efforts turn into precious stones, the most precious one would be hanging up the sign that reads, “God’s Kingdom.” Because I held the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth, I can be liberated from the life of religion without any name tags.</p>
|
||||
<p>You don’t need to pray or ask for things. Furthermore, it will be the age when religions are not necessary. How free it will be. Isn’t it hard to pray? Isn’t it hard to pay indemnity? You should having nothing to fear or be ashamed of. Having the privilege and special right to do anything, why should I hesitate? I can push forward like lightning. Did those who opposed me do wrong or not? I should forgive. I should find those who have deep brotherly love who can be grateful for having been beaten up in order to indemnify the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Witness to seven tribes, up to seven generations — to your most distant cousins and relatives seven or eight generations removed. Up to the twelfth time removed signifies the number 12. Hell started because our ancestors didn’t have that. In Isaac’s family the elder son should have inherited but the younger son took his inheritance away. Three generations after that, the younger son took the inheritance from the older son even in their mother Tamar’s womb. God revealed to Tamar that there were two nations in her womb and the elder would serve the younger. History went exactly the way it was written, so you should go together with the direction and purpose. How miserable Jesus must have felt as he tried to take responsibility for what his family and Israel couldn’t do. He suffered more than anyone in history, even more than God. God couldn’t give the blessing to Jesus. He had to go beyond His limitation in restoring heaven and earth. That’s the reason that the Lord of the Second Advent had to believe what even God couldn’t believe or do. He has to command what even God couldn’t command. That’s the way the Lord of the Second Advent creates new things. That’s the conclusion.</p>
|
||||
<p>In that situation, I transferred all the blessings. If there is something that you cannot do well, it is my fault. I’m the one who’s condemned to death. You have no basis on which to oppose God. I have no hesitation to shed tears, blood and sweat because I have to save the nation and the world in order to inherit heaven and earth. Imagine the suffering of God, even on the road to the cross. How dreadful is the title “Lord of the Second Advent,” how fearful is the title “Savior.” Not knowing the reality, everyone thinks they want to follow such a path — so go ahead and try! My parents opposed me and even God blocked my way. I have been all alone in my life. I walked this course until all my bones, blood and flesh dissolved.</p>
|
||||
<p>In Washington D.C. the seat of supreme power, I pushed through the international blessing, starting with the blessing of 144,000 couples including the blessing of the second generation [of other faiths], the first, the second, the third and the fourth phases. For the ceremony of building the nation, we have to give the blessing to at least several hundred people centering on those that are interreligious and international. I don’t give the blessing. You should be giving the blessing even to the kings or presidents of some nations. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>We should connect the Bush administration to the religious realm to work together in the UN like brothers. Because I initiated it, it would be simple to start the Abel-side UN. Do you understand? If we have support from forty nations or seventy nations, what we want to accomplish will be discussed in the United Nations General Assembly. If we have less than a third of the support, it may be difficult, but everything is decided by the Secretary General; that’s the law. Knowing that, I’m trying to make a breakthrough in the project. When I watched the TV show about Kim Du-hwan, I could see that he went the kind of way I am going. Knowing that his life was at stake, he still went ahead and did what he had to do. He is a real man.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even if one has to sacrifice serving his own parents, a real man must be willing to make a sacrifice for the nation. A man should be willing to die for several thousand other people. That’s the way Unification Church members should go. I announced it the day before yesterday. Was it the thirteenth or twelfth? That was a very good lesson for me to learn. Our Unification Church soldiers must have that kind of determination. Looking at all of you, I wondered who would have that kind of determination. Whose determination is strong enough to die with me? The proof of the loyal subject is the willingness to die together with the master. Am I right or wrong? (You’re right.)</p>
|
||||
<p>We can push our way through to the forefront of world history. How great it would be if America did this work? Do Jews own the Washington Post and the New York Times? (Anglo-Saxons own the Washington Post and Jews own the New York Times.) The realm of the second Israel made of the Jewish religion and Christianity did the same thing as the Jews did when they crucified Jesus. In the midst of that, at the 20th anniversary of The Washington Times, I told the audience of 3,300 guests including presidents that they should understand the spirit world and God in the future. Didn’t I introduce and announce the spirit world? I’m not lying.</p>
|
||||
<p>I spoke to the staff of The Washington Times because I thought this was a good chance. When there are more than 1,000 people gathered, do they want to hear what an old man in his eighties has to say? What would they want to hear? I would ask them to clap their hands, and I would kick out those who wouldn’t; that’s how I would educate them. If we have a festival for family members, there will be Chung-hwan Kwak, Russian, Japanese and Korean representatives. We should make them important family members in the future.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am commanding you in the name of the Messiah. You should become like special correspondents to meet prime ministers and others. Everything can be done in my presence in the end, simply put. That’s Unificationism. Chung-hwan Kwak, haven’t you managed people under you? Our members are all over the world. We have our foundations in 191 countries. I’m saying that you should try making use of our manpower. Who can beat us? The time has come when heaven and earth can influence the spirit world. That’s why I’ve come.</p>
|
||||
<p>I know that you didn’t want me to come. This time, you should appoint special correspondents. Do you understand, Chung-hwan Kwak? You should get your grandchildren involved if you need to. Hurry up. Live on the worldwide foundation. We are making the foundation for you to be able to revive; therefore, you shouldn’t oppose what we are trying to do. The Family Party of the Family Federation was established. I’ve already told you not to go against God’s Will. Don’t regret later for not having participated in the work. Distribute the official documents so that people have no choice but to participate in our project. With the cooperation of our special correspondents, we should save nations and establish God’s nation of peace. America bears the greatest responsibility for that. You should be grateful for the fact that I’m talking in the highest dimension. Religious traditions have been established by people searching for right teachers, prophets and leaders. What kind of people have been against that?</p>
|
||||
<p>I could overturn a director’s desk in his face asking, “How could you not have a sufficiently public mind?” I could meet the director of the FBI and the president of the Washington Post and ask “Do you truly represent the history and the people of this nation or not? I’m trying to represent heaven and earth and how could you try to stop me? You feed your chickens and dogs with uncooked rice. You should try to feed people in the poor countries with the food you couldn’t care less to eat. I’ve lived that way. I couldn’t care less about having some big position. You think you have nothing to fear. You think that I will be finished. You never thought I could continue.” But now, you know what I really think. Will you be loyal subjects or enemies of the heavenly nation? Answer me. You should become loyal subjects. Satan can never make loyal subjects. I must. Even God can’t create loyal subjects. True Parents did. I can’t express how sorry I feel about God who has believed in me until now. Sometimes, I just want to live all by myself. I don’t even have such freedom. Give me the freedom to be alone. You must know that so many times my heart just bursts into tears.</p>
|
||||
<p>Taking out the blood and flesh of the Unification Church of twenty years, I should sprinkle it in the satanic world. I should obtain my investment. You must be really determined. Flowing water and flowing wind all have their destinations. I have stayed in one place for thirty-three years. I am a man worthy of pity. No matter how many places invite me, I can’t go. I’m in exactly the same situation as God. When I was in prison, I knew that I had to have the day of joyous liberation as soon as possible. I comforted the American ministers when I left Danbury prison and pledged to myself that I would save the churches in America. You need to know this.</p>
|
||||
<p>I made a new start on August 20th. In July, at the time of the upcoming anniversary, I should gather sons and daughters within the true Kingdom that can live together with God. You should truly yearn for the day of blessing. Make the condition and be willing to send out blessed members to America or the rest of the world. Do you understand? How many people can the Korean church send out? We need a principled number. How many people will the Japanese Church send? How many Russians and how many Americans will go out? Decide the number and push people out. If you’re not going to do it, I will. Will you do it or not? Those who are determined, raise your hands. God told me to prepare for that. Who really knows His heart? Can you know the heart of orphans, widows and widowers unless you’re one? How can you know the heart of a man in prison whose people lost their sovereignty and whose nation was doomed? How can you understand the heart of two brothers facing death together? God is the one who understands such a heart. You should understand that he is the king, master and father.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is nothing to be ashamed of! You should have the guts to die with confidence when you are face to face with death. Jesus was like that. He died under the inscription, “King of the Jews.” Such a thing happened when the chosen people failed in their responsibility. Do you understand? Have you made up your mind? You must make up your mind and go. I believe that. Take care of all this and draft the constitution before August. Make a external layout of what you think you need to put in. Get the basic idea from some country’s Constitution. Political, business, technological and academic experts assemble on behalf of God and True Parents to create the constitution of totality. What a wonderful day it would be if we could have the United Nations General Assembly to ratify the constitution. Do you understand? In this land, as long as I live, the path I must tread is to teach unforgettable things for our descendants even while vomiting my own blood. That’s the destiny of the True Parents. I sincerely hope and ask you to accomplish your task of inheritance well.</p>

|
||||
<p>Distinguished present and former heads of state. Respected members of the clergy. Leaders from America and around the world, ladies and gentlemen.</p>
|
||||
<p>I come to this gathering today to deliver a message from God, a warning for the six billion people now living on the earth. I know all too well God’s timetable and the direction of His Providence. In all of history, no one has understood with certainty God’s circumstances or God’s heart. But today, in this era of the providential Last Days, I can reveal them to you. In so doing, I hope to present a correct understanding of the responsibility we must shoulder and the direction we should take. I would like to speak to you on the topic, “Filial Children of God are Patriots Who Strive to Liberate His Heart.”</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Grief and Sorrow</h3>
|
||||
<p>Why did God create human beings? God is the source of true love. Yet the joy of love wells up in the heart only in the context of a relationship. A solitary being cannot experience it. Even God could not experience any stimulation as long as He existed all alone. Alone, He cannot love. For His love to blossom, God needs objects to love. For this reason, God created human beings to be His children, partners in His true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is the Father of all humankind, and we are God’s sons and daughters. In creating us, God invested everything — the bone of His bone, the flesh of His flesh, and the marrow of His marrow. Parents raise their children hoping to reach that most exalted place where parent and child come together — that central point where their loves converge, their lives converge, and their ideals converge. In this way, the omniscient and omnipotent God created us to grow into a position on par with Him and equal to Him in rank.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then, what is required to complete God’s ideal of creation? Beyond anything God can do, there is the human element. Because God’s ideal is the oneness of God and human beings, God cannot be perfect until human beings reach perfection.</p>
|
||||
<p>How God must have yearned that the first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, would become beings of infinite value reflecting His image. Yet because Adam and Eve fell, God no longer had His own true sons and daughters. Tragically, God could not establish His family capable of possessing the deep bonds of true love and propagating a divine lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Instead, Adam and Eve were seduced by the false parent. Their family was entangled in the chains of false love, false life, and false lineage. As a consequence, we — their descendants — suffer from an incessant struggle between the mind and body.</p>
|
||||
<p>Adam and Eve fought constantly, and so did their children, resulting in murder. They did not become the exalted beings whom God could relate to as His eternal son and daughter. God could not glorify them as the true ancestors and true parents of humanity. Yet with their fall, God lost the only son and daughter He had.</p>
|
||||
<p>What happened between Adam and Eve that caused them to fall? Was it, as the Bible literally says, that they ate the “fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”? Could merely eating a piece of fruit be the original sin? Could our ancestors by eating a piece of fruit doom thousands of generations of their descendants to be sinners? No. It is because the root of sin was planted in the lineage that it continues on forever in accordance with the laws of inheritance. The only transgression that can have such lasting impact is a mistake of love, committed between two people of the opposite sex.</p>
|
||||
<p>Eve committed adultery with the archangel Lucifer, and they became one. When Eve then joined with Adam, she bound him in that same oneness. As a result, Adam and Eve built their family on a conjugal relationship that centered not on God but on Satan, the fallen archangel. Consequently, all human beings, because we are descended from Adam and Eve, have inherited Satan’s lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>According to the Principle of Creation, love determines the right of ownership. In a relationship of love the partners possess a right of ownership with respect to each other. By this principle, Satan used his ties of illicit love to claim ownership over fallen human beings. Satan took over the role of the “father” of humanity, even though the true Father of humanity is God. This is why Jesus, in the Gospel of John Chapter 8 verse 44, chastised the people as children of Satan, saying: “You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Christians today may think that almighty Jehovah sits on His royal throne, and because He is omniscient and omnipotent, He can give orders as He pleases and have everything go exactly as He wants. In reality, God sits in a place of wretchedness and harbors tremendous grief.</p>
|
||||
<p>God had intended Adam and Eve to become the ideal counterparts for His pure, essential love. Can you imagine the sorrow in God’s heart when they fell? It was infinitely worse than the sorrow that Adam and Eve experienced; indeed, no one in this world has experienced anything nearly so painful. The most tragic loss is to lose what is most precious. Carrying this grieving heart, God has to this day pursued the path of restoration in order to recover His lost children.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is nothing vague or ambiguous about God. He possesses a definite character. He desires to form a relationship of the highest true love with human beings. He desires to share with each of us the most exalted love and joy eternally. But God lost the starting point for this, due to the mistake of the first human ancestors. The fall of Adam and Eve caused such damage.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is the original True Parent, yet He was robbed of His rightful parental position. How heartbroken He is over this! God looks upon His fallen children, who inherited the lineage of the enemy Satan and refuse even to recognize that He exists. How excruciating must God’s heart be each and every moment, as He observes humanity’s wretched condition!</p>
|
||||
<p>For God, nothing was more precious than to have flesh and blood counterparts who could share His true love. God would not have traded His beloved children for the entire universe. His sorrow upon losing them was as if He had lost the entire creation. He felt that His entire purpose for creating the universe had collapsed. He became a God whose enemy unjustly robbed Him of His cosmic throne. The fact that God invested His love so completely, in keeping with the principles of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, only made the results of the fall even more devastating. God was plundered of His ideal, plundered of His beloved son and daughter, and plundered of His sovereignty over the cosmos. And yet, forbearing all these years, the innocent God has had to endure Satan’s false accusations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Seeing the history of lamentation that befell the world following the fall, the Book of Genesis says that God grieved in His heart. The Apostle Paul said, “Creation groans, our ancestors groan, and all humanity groans, waiting in eager anticipation for the appearance of the sons and daughters of God.” All creatures desire to escape this realm of lamentation.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s inmost heart is broken as He surveys human beings struggling, leading lives of no value, having lost the glorious value with which they were originally created. God cries out in grief and agony, saying, “You are supposed to be my direct lineal children, possessing My love, My life, and My lineage. You should be enjoying all the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven. My heart is grieved to see you wearing the mask of the defeated, struggling in pain, lamentation, and despair until the end of your meaningless lives.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you think that God, omniscient and omnipotent and seated on His glorious throne, would say to His children: “Come on up here. I’m not going to leave this seat”? Or is it more likely that He would kick His throne out of the way and come down to where we are?</p>
|
||||
<p>It is important for you to know that for tens of thousands of years, even millions of years, God has been wailing tearfully, crying out, “Oh, My son. Oh My daughter.” You may ask how the omniscient and omnipotent God could be in such a pitiful state, but God cannot get over the shock of losing His beloved sons and daughters. If there were a way for God to solve this problem on His own, He would not have had to suffer as He traveled the long, lonely path of the providence of restoration.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Why God Doesn’t Punish Satan Directly</h3>
|
||||
<p>No caring parent would stand by idly while her child suffers. Hence, it must be impossible for the all-loving God to abandon humanity, His beloved children, to perish eternally. God is absolutely committed to recovering us and the world that He originally envisioned. This is the reason that God has ceaselessly worked His providence of restoration to save humanity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Know how intensely God has labored to make progress in the providence of restoration! God is our True Parent. As He carried out the providence, God’s heart felt the pain of human beings as His own pain.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yet it was excruciatingly difficult for God to carry out the providence of salvation, because the original human ancestors who committed the fall received Satan’s false love and false life. Ever since, Satan has acted as humanity’s false parent and false lord.</p>
|
||||
<p>You may raise the question: “God is omniscient and omnipotent. How could He stand by, seemingly impotent, while humanity went down the path of destruction?” It is because human beings committed sin in a realm where they are totally responsible; therefore, they are required to fulfill the conditions needed to resolve that sin. God cannot liberate us from sin unconditionally. If He could, He would have liberated the first human ancestors in the Garden of Eden instead of casting them out. Furthermore, restoration has been even more difficult because Satan uses his ties of lineage to enslave human beings as their master.</p>
|
||||
<p>The fall was something that should never have happened under the original standard of the ideal of creation. Therefore, God was not in a position to intervene, even though He was the Creator. Having been robbed of His position as the original Parent, He could not cover for His children’s mistake.</p>
|
||||
<p>On the other hand, neither can the omniscient and omnipotent God simply solve the problem by sending judgment on the fallen human world and Satan. Since God created human beings to be His eternal partners in true love, He cannot just annihilate them. Instead, with true love God has labored to carry out the providence of restoration. Though all the while enduring Satan’s contempt and accusations, His response is always to sacrifice and give unendingly.</p>
|
||||
<p>Satan mocks God, saying, “How can you hold fast to your principles, now that the lineage of true love, which was supposed to be the foundation of the ideal world, has been utterly degraded? Your ideal of creation — the absolute realm of love where true people live together as one — that is something You will never see.” In this situation, how can God reply? It is an impossible situation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Why does God carry on with His restoration providence while enduring such suffering? Is it because He is omniscient and omnipotent? No, it is not. The ideal of true love is the reason that He seeks to recover His beloved sons and daughters. With true love, God ignores His own circumstances and works to understand the circumstances of human beings. If people are sad, God approaches them by comprehending their sadness. If people are angry because they have been treated unjustly, God approaches them by first understanding the reasons for their anger.</p>
|
||||
<h3>We Need to Know God’s Circumstances and Heart</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, in your communion with God, have you fathomed His suffering heart? Have you shed tears for God? Have you ever attempted to take on a task that would lighten God’s load, even a little? Would you struggle to do it, even if it meant that each of your limbs might be torn from your body? You haven’t. On the other hand, God ever draws near to comfort us in our difficulties. Through the long ages, He has sought out the children who betrayed Him with an unchanging parental heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>God, our Parent, remains in the realm of lamentation until every last human being has been freed from lamentation. Because He is in this position, we must comfort God and bring Him true liberation.</p>
|
||||
<p>How are we to liberate God? God lost His beloved children. God is confined in a place where He cannot love humanity with the original love that parents give their children. Therefore, our task is to establish a realm of true liberation for God where He can freely give love to all humankind. God’s confinement was brought about by the human fall, so human beings must become victorious sons and daughters who transcend the limits of the fall. This is what will bring God true liberation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Human beings have lived ignorant of the tremendous pain in God’s heart. When I first understood the pain of God, I wept for weeks. Please know that such profound circumstances lie behind the founding of the Unification Church.</p>
|
||||
<p>Longing for those who betrayed Him, those who were embraced in the bosom of the enemy, God has been calling out, “My son! My daughter!” But have you even once cried out, “My Father!” so loudly that it made you hoarse? Have you ever passionately called for your Father until it made your tongue dry and you began to choke?</p>
|
||||
<p>As fallen people, what do we have that would enable us to relate with God? Our emotions and the perceptions of our five senses are entirely profane. Nothing in us is acceptable. Under the laws of justice, we have nothing that will let us relate to God, but under the law of love there is a way.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s True Liberation and Complete Freedom</h3>
|
||||
<p>Because human beings fell, God could not be free. Hence the first human ancestors also were imprisoned and lost their original freedom. Following this, the angelic world, all religious people, and ultimately all humanity came to be imprisoned.</p>
|
||||
<p>God lives in prison. How can we free Him? We must become filial sons and daughters of God, more so than the original children whom He lost. We must do better even than the original children were supposed to do had they been filial and not fallen. Even if we were to accumulate ten times as much merit in every aspect and relate to God with great filial piety, it would not be easy to bring God back to His original heart, in order that He might dwell in true freedom. Yet at an early age, I made a determination “to truly liberate God with my own hands,” and I have lived accordingly throughout my life.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the true mission of religion? It is, with a heart of love, to truly liberate God, truly liberate humanity on earth and in the spirit world, and truly liberate the planet earth. Many people think that God will liberate us. But now that we recognize that God’s heart is under confinement, we understand that we should liberate God and bring Him into complete freedom.</p>
|
||||
<p>God has long been searching for people burning with zeal for true love, having the faith that says, “I see now that God is in prison because of me. I see now that God is receiving Satan’s accusations because of me. I see now that Jesus suffered because of me. Oh, Father, I will carry You to the place of true liberation. I will carry Jesus and the Holy Spirit, too, to the place of true liberation.”</p>
|
||||
<p>To this day, there has not been any sovereign country on earth where people of true love have established God’s dominion. Despite this, people are singing praises to the Almighty. In such circumstances, how can God’s heart be free?</p>
|
||||
<p>There have been no filial children before God. There have been no social and political structures founded upon true love that would enable people to fulfill the way of the patriot, the way of the saint, and the way of divine sons and daughters in Heaven and earth. Hence there has been no way to establish and protect the heavenly kingdom. These circumstances left God with no place to stand. Consequently, God has remained until now imprisoned — in a state of virtual captivity.</p>
|
||||
<p>How are we to resolve this grievous situation? The only way is to carry out a movement practicing the love that is God’s original essence. The final stage of religion must teach in detail about God’s pitiful suffering and the injustice He has endured, and it must connect human beings to the world of His original heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>Let us join in a true love movement to bring God true liberation and complete freedom. If we do not set this standard of love, the heavenly way cannot be set right and the ideal world cannot come on this earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>This true love movement is bringing an end to the history of division between Cain and Abel. To that end, we are bringing together the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace and the Peace U.N. (World Peace Council) in the Abel position, and the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace in the Cain position, (all organizations I founded) into a single unity.</p>
|
||||
<p>I call on America to take on the role of the elder brother, representing the free world, and lead all nations toward the fulfillment of God’s will. To do this, America needs to put aside selfish and individualistic thinking. When political parties and ethnic groups place priority on their self-interest, they divide and mislead the people. America must build a true nation, blossoming with true freedom and peace. Then God will want to reside in your families and in your communities.</p>

<p>For this noble goal, let us all stand hand in hand and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, the Peace Kingdom, where God’s ideal of creation is fulfilled. There, God will enjoy true liberation and complete freedom.</p>
|
||||
<p>I pray that God’s blessings may be with you forever.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">20th Anniversary of the Washington Times Banquet<br />
|
||||
Hilton Washington Hotel, International Ballroom<br />
|
||||
Washington, DC<br />
|
||||
May 21, 2002</h3>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished guests from the United States and around the world, parliamentarians and other leaders on the invitation committee, dear staff of The Washington Times, ladies and gentlemen. I deeply appreciate your taking time from your busy schedules to attend this gathering.</p>
|
||||
<p>We are gathered for the meaningful purposes to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Washington Times and to look back on the historical role the Times played during the rapid changes of the previous century. During these two decades The Times has grown in dedication and distinction to become one of the most influential and significant newspapers in the world today. Its reputation for integrity and truthful reporting is unmatched. When I first announced the founding of The Washington Times in 1982, many people in America ridiculed me. Some critics predicted that The Times would only become a mouthpiece for the Unification Church, or end up as a weekly newspaper read by almost no one. Others said that even if the newspaper maintained acceptable quality, it would run out of funds in only six months.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yet year after year, for these past 20 years, The Times has steadily grown stronger and improved in its quality. The Washington Times has become one of the world’s most-quoted newspapers. It regularly scoops other major news media. The newspaper’s vast collection of award-winning news stories, editorial and opinion columns, illustrations, and photographs is testimony to the highest standards of journalism. First, I wish to thank God for bringing us successfully through these twenty years of accomplishment. I also wish to offer my praise to all the employees of The Washington Times for their hard work and dedication. It is through their efforts that the newspaper has achieved its well-deserved reputation for distinction in reporting and excellence. Let’s give them all a big round of applause.</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to take a moment to explain my reasons for establishing the The Washington Times two decades ago. It was not for my own personal interest or to promote the interests of any other organization. In fact, my decision to launch The Washington Times came while I was facing trial in New York City on federal tax charges. I could have felt resentment and anger toward the United States for bringing malicious charges against me. But instead, I endeavored to serve and love this nation. Instead of seeking revenge, I turned around and tried to help save the destiny of this nation. I founded The Washington Times as an expression of my love for America and to fulfill the Will of God, who seeks to establish America in His Providence.</p>
|
||||
<p>During the Cold War, God placed America in a position to protect worldwide freedom by blocking the attempt by communism to gain world domination. When the Washington Star closed down in 1981, this nation’s capital was left with only one newspaper, the Washington Post. This meant that the capital of the Free World had a limited perspective on news, issues, and policy, which ignored the danger of communism and its threat to the entire world at that time. In the context of God’s Will, there needed to be a newspaper that had the philosophical and ideological foundation to encourage and enlighten the people and leaders of America. For months, I waited with the hope that some patriotic Americans would start a newspaper in Washington to provide an alternative voice to the Post. But when it became clear that no one would do so, I decided we had to do it. Ronald Reagan had been elected president in a landslide vote. Yet while he tried to maintain a strong stand against communist expansion, there was much confusion in Washington over what America’s proper response to the Soviet threat should be. The Washington Times provided leadership through thoughtful commentary and objective news and information to make clear the harsh reality of communist tyranny.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Washington Times editorials and columns supported the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) at a time when many were trying to block this critical development. Years later, former Soviet officials admitted that it was America’s determination to develop SDI that fatally weakened the resolve of the Soviet leaders. Finally, in 1989 the Berlin Wall was torn down and on Christmas Eve 1991 the Soviet empire collapsed after having held the world in fear for 74 years. I thank God that the Free World prevailed in this historical struggle, which truly was an ideological battle over acknowledging God or not. It is the principle that God works His will on Earth through human beings. I do not have the slightest doubt that God used The Washington Times to help bring an end to the most pernicious worldwide dictatorship in history and gave freedom to tens of millions of people!</p>
|
||||
<p>In the 1980s, the Contras in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and other countries were fighting for their lives against the communist Sandinistas who were seeking to seize control of their countries, slaughtering thousands of people. While other media failed to recognize the seriousness of the situation, The Washington Times emphasized through its stories and columns the dangers of communist expansion in the hemisphere and why the freedom fighters should be supported. Once again, The Times’ news and information helped the leaders in Washington stay strong in their support for the Contras. Today, many people thank God and The Washington Times for the fact that freedom and democracy are alive and well in Central America!</p>
|
||||
<p>The mission of The Washington Times, however, was not finished with the end of the Cold War. The fall of communism did not automatically lead to world peace. Nor did it mean that the ideal society that God desires would establish itself without any further effort on our part. Accordingly, during The Washington Times’ second decade it had to rise to a new challenge – that of the “Cultural War,” or the fight against the degradation of values.</p>
|
||||
<p>God desired that America maintain its traditional family and moral values, which had fallen into confusion. Secular humanism and extreme individualism and selfishness were on the rise. As a result of these, money and material goods have become “gods” to people in terms of their values. This has led to the decline of religion and the rise of secular humanism, which have led to the breakdown of families and juvenile delinquency.</p>
|
||||
<p>We see evidence of this epidemic everywhere, especially among our youth: the AIDS epidemic, increased alcoholism and drug use among young people, teen pregnancies and even murders in the schools. These are all symptoms that our society is still very distant from God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thus, ten years ago, at the 10th anniversary celebration for The Times, I defined another mission for the media. This is, that the media need to promote ethics and moral values in our society. For its second ten years, I envisioned for The Washington Times the task of contributing to bringing about a moral society. Because a peaceful world is only possible based on the existence of peaceful, ideal families, The Times became a newspaper that helped people understand the importance of strong moral, family values. Even before the term “family values” became a popular phrase, every day of the week The Times was publishing articles highlighting the breakdown in values and what must be done to return to a good, moral society based on family values. The newspaper even began publishing a weekly Family Times section devoted to these issues. Today, family values have become an essential piece of the social fabric in America, even becoming part of the political landscape. We can be proud of The Washington Times’ contribution that promoted and elevated family values to an essential part of society in America and the world!</p>
|
||||
<p>The first decade of The Washington Times was marked by its fight for freedom around the world in the midst of the Cold War. The second decade was marked by the Cultural War and the emphasis on building families infused with strong moral values. Now, as we enter the third decade of The Washington Times, this is the time to emphasize and support faith, the time to emphasize and support spiritual values that are based on the faith of each individual. We must all understand clearly about God and the spiritual aspect of human life. Freedom at the world level, moral and ethical values at the family level, and faith at the individual level. These are the three great imperatives for our lives and for the media as well.</p>
|
||||
<p>Freedom, family values, and faith are America’s most fundamental spiritual virtues. The reason The Washington Times is called “America’s newspaper” is that it leads the way in putting America’s philosophical tradition into practice. Of course, the phrase “America’s newspaper” does not mean that The Times serves only America for its own sake. Instead, it serves America as a country that offers itself in service to the world and all humanity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Our lives are not just eighty or one hundred years on this Earth. We are born into this world through our physical parents, but we must know that ultimately God is our Parent. And after we die in this world, we continue to live in the world of the spirit. Is there any person on this Earth who can avoid going into the spirit world when they die? No matter how much money, knowledge or power he or she accumulated on Earth, everyone is destined to go into the spirit world eventually. You may have made great efforts on the Earth to accumulate money, knowledge or power, but these will not guarantee your happiness in the spirit world. You would do well to invest effort to learn about spirit world now, since God and the spirit world are at the roots of our eternal lives. In this sense, the spirit world is our hometown. How can anyone claim to be a true man or a true woman if he or she does not know God and the spirit world?</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the time when each one of us can set his or her faith compass to God. This is not just Reverend Moon’s teaching, it is the providence of God. As the third component of freedom, family and faith, this individual connection to God stems from the same root as America’s founding tradition. I hope that each of you will also take up this mission of the media as your own and accept faith as the essential part of your character.</p>
|
||||
<p>We live in an age marked externally by an explosive increase in the quantity of information. The world is overflowing with information. The development of digital communications technologies has produced a sea of information. In the past, it was difficult to get news from out of the way sources. But now there has been a revolutionary change and people can be overwhelmed with the amount of news from all around the world. It the midst of this quantity, there needs to be responsibility for the quality of people’s lives. While the media can provide all the facts, they also have the responsibility to provide values to prevent confusion and to provide leadership and direction, especially today when the entire world is flooded with news and information. The Washington Times and its affiliated media properties are taking a leading role in this regard.</p>
|
||||
<p>At the same time as the miraculous growth of The Washington Times daily newspaper over the past twenty years, other media properties have also shown spectacular development. These include the National Weekly Edition, which is distributed to subscribers in all 50 states, presenting the best from The Times daily paper. We also have Tiempos del Mundo, the Spanish language weekly newspaper now published in 18 major cities in 16 countries throughout the hemisphere. Of course, there are sister newspapers in Seoul and New York, the Segye Ilbo, and in Tokyo, Sekai Nippo. The Middle East Times presents news and information concerning that increasingly important region of the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Among the magazines, there are Insight, World & I, and Washington Golf Monthly. The Washington Times Internet site is also among the most popular newspaper Web sites in the country, attracting hundreds of thousands of people each week who read more than eighteen million pages of news, opinion, and commentary every month. This is well coordinated with the telecommunications industry, including cable television operations, Potomac Television, Atlantic Video, and the Good Life cable TV that is delivered to viewers in all 50 states.</p>
|
||||
<p>The newest member of our media family is one of the oldest privately held news services in the world. United Press International, with almost a hundred years of continuous operation, provides news all throughout the world. UPI will soon unveil a major technology breakthrough. It will have the ability through an aggregated database to collect stories from all our media properties and sort them and distribute them based on content and topic to subscribers around the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>This new era of media, with the massive distribution of news and information, requires leadership and clear guidance for the betterment of individuals based on values and on the knowledge of God and spirit world. The Washington Times and our family of media have been providing this direction for the past two decades and will continue to do so into our third decade. My hope is that each one of you as well will embody the qualities of defending freedom, promoting family values, and strengthening your faith in God so that you may become leaders of the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>God bless you and your families, and may God bless The Washington Times.</p>

Arlington, Virginia</h3>
|
||||
<p>Present and former heads of state from around the world, eminent religious leaders, peace ambassadors from various nations, representatives of all aspects of society, respected ladies and gentlemen:</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to thank you for participating in this profoundly significant conference, where we will explore fundamental issues regarding the realization of a world of peace, which is a common ideal shared by all humanity.</p>
|
||||
<p>At this time when the need for peace and security is more acute and critical than ever before, we who are leaders in our various fields share a grave responsibility to resolve issues related to discord and war and to the evil and unhappiness derived from the world that holds God at a distance.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The God of True Love</h3>
|
||||
<p>In accordance with Heaven’s will, I have offered my life over the years to investigate the difficult issues facing humanity and offer a plan for implementing fundamental solutions. Today I would like to speak about a portion of this plan. The words I speak do not come from theological research or from any books. I speak rather of fundamental principles that I have learned through experience, as I overcame all manner of difficulties and communed directly with God and spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>The path of following Heaven’s will in a state of empathy with God is not one that many people can find through common sense. I would like to tell you, however, that one who opens his or her original mind and exercises keen insight can discover a new consciousness by which to perceive the spirit world and the will of God, who lives and carries out His work in the world of reality.</p>
|
||||
<p>This conference will not analyze the afflictions and despair of modern humanity nor the symptoms of crisis in the modern age, but rather will investigate the foundation for the ideal of peace. We can identify and treat the root of the disease. For this, we should know the original relationship between God and ourselves, a relationship that lies at the foundation of the universe, and enlighten ourselves as to the will of God who lives and carries out His providence in history.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is the original entity of true love. True love has the attribute of unconditional giving and giving again, of investing and not remembering the investment and then investing again, and of living for the sake of others time and time again. The reason righteous people and evil people alike are allowed to breathe the same air within the atmosphere God created is that God, though He is all powerful, is the original entity of true love. This is also the reason that good people and sinners alike are able to carry on their lives by tilling the fields and enjoying the blessings of nature.</p>
|
||||
<p>Exercising His almighty and absolute power, God at any time could carry out a summary judgment on sinful humanity, but He has embraced the world of sin with true love these long years, enduring the pain and waiting for us to repent. God, our Creator and Father, has been subjected to all manner of insults from those who refuse to believe in Him, who betray Him, and who go so far as to claim that He does not exist or is dead. In spite of all this, He has endured with an unchanging heart. Since God knew that love is perfected only with a partner, He has been working to build a world of love through His love partner.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, have any of you ever heard God complain? Have you ever met a God who gave excuses? In the beginning, God established true love as the absolute standard, and He took the lead in demonstrating absolute obedience to that ideal as He created and carried out His providence. Just as the ocean takes in all manner of sewage and garbage and then cleanses itself, God as the original entity of absolute true love cleanses the human world that deviated from the principles of His creation and works to bring this world to complete goodness.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is the absolute True Parent, absolute True Teacher, and absolute True Owner centering on true love. So God needed an object partner to whom He could give His true love. This was His motivation for creating. God’s creation was a necessary act. The creative ideal of true love cannot be realized by a being existing alone. This ideal exists so that God can share with human beings the joy of His exalted and righteous will. When we understand the God of true love correctly, it is self-evident that this unhappy world of sin and strife was not His original plan.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Ideal of Creation</h3>
|
||||
<p>God carried out His creative act with the utmost sincerity, dedication and investment. He established the standard of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, and then invested absolutely. All created beings are the object partner entities of love that God created by investing with ultimate sincerity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Among these, God created human beings, the most precious of all beings, to have the closest relationship with Him, the relationship of child and parent. God is our incorporeal True Parent and we are His sons and daughters, or His substantial object partners.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the world of true love, there is no difference in value between large and small or high and low. To be one in true love is to generously form a single harmonious entity with no bad feelings over the distinctions of upper and lower or among different strata. The unity that results between true subject and object partners will exist forever without interruption. So in true love, subject and object partners share a common value, common participation and common residence, and there is the right of inheritance between them. Thus human beings achieve completion within God’s love and inherit His position as absolute parents, absolute teachers and absolute owners.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this way, God’s plan is to have His children, human beings, perfect the true love ideal and become one with Him, residing with Him and inheriting all that is His. True freedom and equality, true peace and unification, and true ideals and happiness can exist eternally only within true love. So true love is the fountainhead from which springs the power and life of all beings in creation, and it is the fountainhead of joy and happiness. True love is the absolute element that brings happiness, hope and peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Often, the relationship between God and humanity is viewed from the perspective of majesty and holiness, and it is concluded that God and humanity will exist in dramatically different dimensions for all time. Certainly, the Creator occupies a level that differs from His creation. And yet the original relationship that is most central and meaningful is the true love relationship between parent and child. True love makes unity possible in the relationship between internal character and external form and between male and female. Human beings were created to become one in heart with God, to share the same rank as God in true love, and to experience an inseparable parent-child bond with God that enables us to relate with Him through our strongest emotions in daily life. God’s ideal of creation entails His being perfected along with human beings, who would become His partners in love as His sons and daughters. This apotheosis is the accomplishment of the ideal of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>To summarize, God’s purpose in creating the human ancestors Adam and Eve was for them to establish a family of goodness that would bring to ripeness the fruit of God’s true love, true life and true lineage. With the family as their foundation, Adam and Eve were to nurture the heart of the children, heart of siblings, heart of husband and wife, and heart of parents. In the process, as discrete projections of God’s dual characteristics of masculinity and femininity they were to master God’s love step-by-step and bring it to safe settlement and perfection.</p>
|
||||
<p>If the true love ideal centering on God had been created in this manner in Adam’s family, it would have become the first family of the Kingdom of Heaven. Also, the Kingdom of Heaven family ideal, centering at its origin on Adam and Eve as True Parents, would have expanded in scope naturally into tribes, peoples, nations and the world. The tradition of the family of true love would have become the tradition of the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this world, the united center would be the incarnate True Parents, who resemble and inherit all the attributes of the spiritual absolute True Parent, absolute True Teacher, and absolute True Owner, God. In the Kingdom of Heaven of true love, the vertical axis is created by the incarnate True Parents who are one with God. Centering on this axis, all instances of upper and lower, left and right, front and back, and internal and external occurring among created entities are in harmony. Thus, all creation dwells in freedom, peace, unification and happiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we come to the end of our life on earth in the physical body, our spirit self transitions into the spirit world, which is the ultimate world. It is an extension of our life on earth and also a place where we are to perfect the Kingdom of Heaven ideal. If this had come to pass in the beginning, there would have been no need for God’s salvation providence through religions or the advent of the Messiah.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Human Ancestors’ Fall and the Providence of Restoration</h3>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, as a result of the fall of Adam and Eve, God’s intended Kingdom of Heaven ideal in Adam’s family was not realized. This was because Adam and Eve became false parents when they indulged in false love centering on Satan. They formed a false husband-wife partnership and false family that had no relation to God’s blessing, and bequeathed false life and false lineage to their descendants. They left God in grief, with the original lineage altered by the enemy, Satan.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this way, they lost God and did not establish the temple in which they were to have lived in attendance to God. In fact, their bodies became the den of Satan’s devils, and their spiritual desire to seek absolute value shut down, rendering them incapable of knowing about the spirit world, which is the ultimate world. Because the first human ancestors deformed themselves, all human beings as their descendants never knew that God is our True Father. We inherited Satan’s selfish desires and lived unrighteous, self-centered lives parading our fallen nature. Not even knowing that human beings were created as brothers and sisters to attend one God, we lived in sin, strife and dispute. We do not know that to kill another is to kill oneself, and so we live in unhappiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>The world inherits the tradition of Adam’s family in which Cain killed his own brother Abel. The outcome for us descendants of false love is the unhappiness, sin and ruin seen in family breakdown, the moral degradation of youth, and diseases such as AIDS.</p>
|
||||
<p>Look at the world. The acute crisis of the modern age is manifested in mind-body struggle, the confusion of values, criminality, drug abuse, the breakdown of the family that holds humanity’s future in the balance, the destruction of the environment, conflict and hatred, terror and war, and even conflict between religions and civilizations. With each passing day, this crisis becomes more serious, more complex and more pervasive. We can no longer stand by and do nothing as the world careens forward on this course. There is no time left. Who can take responsibility for this world? Where is the leader who will present a fundamental plan to solve the world’s problems?</p>
|
||||
<p>At the same time that human beings lost God, we also lost true love, peace and happiness. Throughout history, we have tried to liberate ourselves from unhappiness and achieve peace on our own, excluding God from the process. Such efforts were fundamentally flawed. We cannot defuse the crisis through human effort alone. True peace and happiness have their origin in God’s true love, true life and true lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is absolute and so His will for the creation is also absolute. This means that God is working to reverse what went wrong as a result of the fall and return back to the original state. So God’s providence of salvation is a providence of restoration. Its purpose is to recover the original world that existed prior to the fall. In other words, God’s purpose is to establish a restored Adam and Eve, or True Parents, centering on true love. It is to establish the original true world by having them receive the marriage blessing. Once that is accomplished, their true family will be the point of origin for true tribes, peoples, nations and the world.</p>

<p>Respected leaders, following God’s call through indescribable hardship, I have established the foundation for peace to settle in various fields of life. More than 30 years ago, I founded the Unification Thought Institute and began to guide the field of philosophy. Since 1972, I have sponsored nearly 30 global meetings of the International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences, for the purpose of exploring absolute value and creating harmony and unity among the various fields of learning. I founded and have continuously supported a movement for peace transcending individual nations; this movement for peace includes the work of the Professors World Peace Academy, the Summit Council for World Peace, the International Federation for Victory Over Communism, CAUSA, the Federation for World Peace, the Federation of Island Nations for World Peace, the Federation of Peninsular Nations for World Peace, the Federation of Continental Nations for World Peace, and the Citizens’ Federation for the Unification of the Fatherland. I have also promoted culture and the arts, fostered peace through sports, and developed elementary, middle school, high school and university level educational institutions. I founded and supported the Women’s Federation for World Peace, various media organizations for the purpose of bringing about responsible and ethical journalism, the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles, the Youth Federation for World Peace, the Pure Love Alliance, international conferences on the environment, the International Relief and Friendship Foundation, Service for Peace, the Religious Youth Service, the voluntary service organization Aewon, the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations, and the Holy Blessing and true family movement. I have supported efforts to renew the United Nations for the sake of achieving God’s desire for peace. These are some of the initiatives for national and worldwide salvation that I have instituted around the globe. I have pursued these efforts continuously, without funding from any government or major corporation, even in the midst of unsympathetic public opinion and outright persecution. All I had, as I worked to lay the foundation for the establishment of the ideal world, was my determination to fulfill the mission of humanity’s True Parent that God entrusted to me, and to accomplish God’s will.</p>
|
||||
<p>In bringing about the ideal of peace implicit in God’s true love, it is most important that the various religions achieve harmony with each other and provide a model for the world. Withstanding the cold-hearted attitudes and persecution by narrow-minded religious bodies in various countries, I have laid my greatest emphasis on creating a movement for unity and cooperation among religions, nations and NGOs. I have offered all manner of sacrifice as I did everything that I could to build one world in this area, including founding an interdenominational seminary, the New Ecumenical Research Association, the Council for the World’s Religions, the Youth Seminar on World Religions, the Assembly of the World’s Religions, publishing World Scripture: A Comparative Anthology of Sacred Texts, continuously supporting conferences for harmony among religions, and founding the Inter-Religious Federation for World Peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Taking this a step further, I founded the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace (IIFWP) as an overarching structure for unification and world peace that would go beyond the goal of harmony among the religions and embrace leaders in the fields of academia, politics, journalism, finance, and NGO’s, where foundations have already been laid.</p>
|
||||
<p>Since the founding of IIFWP in February 1999, we have appointed tens of thousands of leaders in a wide variety of fields from 189 countries as Ambassadors for Peace. Reflecting my philosophy of peace, these ambassadors are practicing true love by living for the sake of others, and are engaged in many important activities that help to break down barriers between nations, races and religions. Their practical activities range from AIDS prevention and service projects, to true family development, youth and leadership education, and environmental improvement.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Godism and Headwing Thought</h3>
|
||||
<p>My philosophy is Headwing Thought based on Godism. This thought places God, the standard of absolute value and our True Parent, True Teacher and True Owner, in the absolute center. When human beings live in accordance with the Three Great Subject Body Thought, attending God in our life in the spirit world and on earth as our True Parent, True Teacher and True Owner, and living as His object partners, this will be the Kingdom of Heaven and the place where true love is practiced.</p>
|
||||
<p>We had better overcome atheistic and Communist philosophies that deny God and the spirit world, as well as the secular humanism and moral relativism that ignore the importance of absolute value and the vertical standard. It is time to overcome the hypocritical faith in God’s name that lacks true love, and abandon all selfish works that violate original human rights and result in injustice. The Headwing Thought that I propose transcends right and left wing, breaks down the walls between countries, races and religions, and brings about a broad and unified harmony centering on the absolute God. This task should be carried out with the help of both heaven and earth. We are in a great transition, and during this time the United Nations and the nations of the world must unite and cooperate with one another.</p>
|
||||
<p>Modern society is a world lacking an ideology or system of absolute philosophy. There are no absolute values that apply with consistency to individuals, families, societies, nations, the world and the cosmos. This is the reason that thinking has become confused, human relationships disordered, and human society chaotic. Facing unreflective pluralism and modernization, and without a basic axis in their hearts and daily lives, people in the modern age suffer an ever-worsening confusion of values.</p>
|
||||
<p>We face endless temptations to live in slavery to the physical appetites and drift through life aimlessly, but we must never turn away from a life based on values. Absolute value is our vertical axis. The center of absolute value is God’s true love expressed in living for the sake of others.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, I will tell you right now that peace is not something that is realized first in the external world. It is realized first in each individual. It requires first that there be individuals who have achieved harmonious unification within. As a result of the fall, conflict arose between mind and body. To control human beings, Satan uses the body as his stronghold. He has turned us away from our original nature and our spiritual nature and toward the satisfaction of selfish and individualistic needs. The only path to escape Satan’s dominion lies within God’s true love lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you live unselfishly for the sake of others and work for the sake of others, Satan will not be able to follow you. This is because Satan is essentially selfish. This is why fallen human beings can change their character and recover their spiritual nature through the practice of God’s true love. Our faith cannot be in a conceptual God; we need a true faith that connects us to the living God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because God originally created us as the object partners of His true love, we are able to practice this true love naturally. Values such as truth, goodness and beauty appear in the practice of love. People whose minds and bodies have become one in God’s true love are individual embodiments of truth, happiness and tranquility, satisfaction and peace. Such subject bodies of character are prerequisite for a world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Second, no institutions or power, material or knowledge, or any other external factors will bring about the world of peace. Only the true love of living for the sake of others will accomplish it. True peace, unification and happiness cannot be found apart from a loving relationship of living for the sake of others. This is the basic principle of God’s creation. Unconditional giving, investing and loving for the sake of an object partner are both the cause and purpose of God’s creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>God created us in His image, as beings whose purpose is to live for the sake of others. It is only by living for the sake of others that people can become central beings, become subject entities of peace and unification, and become the eternal owners of love and ideals. We can find the path to meet God, our absolute True Parent, True Teacher and True Owner, receive His inheritance, and then ourselves become true parents, true teachers and true owners, only in a life of true love and of living for the sake of others. On the path of true love, parties overcome conflict and division naturally, harmonizing and uniting the environment. This is not conquest through struggle; instead, it is a path of natural subjugation bringing eternal unification.</p>
|
||||
<p>Third, the basic unit of the world of peace is not the nation; it is the peaceful family. The basic unit is the family formed by a man and a woman who have the character to attend God, a man and woman who have each accomplished harmonious mind-body union and are joined by God in His Holy Blessing. These are the first blessed families in history, established through the True Parents. These are peaceful and happy families. True love joins their members in harmonious union. When these families multiply, they will bring about a world of peaceful tribes, peoples and nations. In God’s original ideal, humankind is one family under one God and the cosmos is one family centering on true love. The place of resolution for the problems of the family centering on True Parents is the foundation for the world of peace. In the ideal world of blessed families based on true love, there can be no barriers of nationality, race or religion.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, humanity is to find God and escape from our ignorance concerning our spiritual True Parent. Living within the eternal and profound order of this universe that manifests His omniscience and omnipotence, we shall never again make the mistake of having ingratitude to our Creator for His magnificent accomplishments. Fallen humanity is to rid itself of the arrogance that says we are the owners of our own life. Instead, we will nurture an enlightened spirituality in the presence of the absolute nature of God’s true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is our True Parent. It is time to discover the living God, whose heart to invest greater true love is firm, absolute and eternal. We need to know the heart of God, who created humanity as the object partner who would inherit His absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal true love, true life and true lineage completely.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this way, we will establish God — the absolute True Parent, True Teacher and True Owner — and the True Parents as the axis of absolute value for the individual, family, nation, world and cosmos. This will be the basis for our life as individuals, families, nations and the world. We will feel the desire to follow without change for eternity the path of tradition set by the Parents of Heaven and Earth, the path of living in true love for the sake of others. If we do that, then we can resolve all problems, whether of the family, society, race or religion.</p>
|
||||
<p>We will arrive in an age in which God and humankind live as one in the original ideal world, the world of heart. We will arrive in an age where we realize that living for the sake of others holds greater eternal value than living for ourselves. The blind age of self-centered life will pass away, as we build an other-centered world of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values. For this purpose, let us attain correct knowledge about God and the spirit world; let us lead humanity on the correct path by testifying to the world about God’s true love, true life and true lineage; and let us build the universal family of Heaven and Earth in God’s fatherland and homeland on earth. Let us complete the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven through the absolute love, unique love, unchanging love and eternal love that seeks to live for the sake of others, and offer Heavenly Kingship to God.</p>
|
||||
<p>May God bless you, your family and your country. Thank you</p>

World Summit on Leadership and Governance<br />
|
||||
Lotte Hotel, Seoul, Korea</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected current and former heads of state, leaders of religion, politics, and academia from around the world, ladies and gentlemen:</p>
|
||||
<p>We are gathered today with the fervent desire for an eternal and unchanging world of peace, which is the ideal heavenly world. On this profoundly significant occasion, as the Founder of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, I would like to convey a message regarding God’s original ideal. The title is, “God’s Fatherland and the Age of Kingship in Cheon-il Guk.”</p>
|
||||
<h3>Why We Must Establish God’s Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>God has spoken of “God’s ideal Kingdom and His ideal righteousness,” but people living on the earth today have not been able to find it. It is important to know that humanity today, just as it has for many thousands of years of human history, fervently desires the establishment of God’s ideal Kingdom and His ideal righteousness.</p>
|
||||
<p>How is it, then, that this transcendent and fervent desire for His Kingdom and His righteousness remain unfulfilled goals for all beings in heaven and earth? The reason is that human beings committed the fall. As a result of the human fall, God and humanity, who originally could have formed the center of God’s ideal Kingdom and His ideal righteousness, found themselves in circumstances that prevented their forming a relationship with each other. Human beings did not know much about God our Father, the center of God’s ideal Kingdom or His ideal righteousness, or about His family and nation. Hence, God has labored throughout the course of history to enlighten these ignorant people and teach us about Himself, His family and His nation. In this context, establishing God’s ideal Kingdom and His ideal righteousness remains our fervent desire and goal.</p>
|
||||
<p>There exist many nations in today’s world. Yet, not even one can truly receive love from God. For this reason, God wants to negate this fallen world and recreate His new Kingdom. God has conducted His providence to establish a nation. God cannot accomplish His will for human restoration without cooperation from a nation that is in keeping with God’s desire. There must be a true state that is centered on a true religion that is in keeping with God’s desire. Hence, in the fullness of time, God established a particular nation and religion, the chosen people of Israel and Judaism.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the character of the nation that fulfills our fervent desire for the Kingdom of God? It is not like the nations in which you now are living. These nations are destined to disappear someday.</p>
|
||||
<p>We do not yet have God’s Kingdom. A person without a nation does not have a permanent domicile, a nationality, or the possibility to register as a citizen. For this reason, we must accomplish in the present world the establishment of an ideal nation that is in keeping with God’s desire. We must form the heavenly kingdom with one mind, one body and one thought, so as to constitute one nation centering on the religion and state of the chosen people of the third Israel.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must live on the earth as citizens of this nation. In that nation we lead our own families and kin, and inherit the lineage of the true and good parents who love their country and their nation as victorious sons and daughters. Only in that way will we enter the Kingdom of Heaven in the spiritual world. This is God’s Principle of Creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only when there is a nation that is in keeping with God’s desire will we be able to bequeath a tradition that remains with our descendants into eternity. Only when there is a nation will the blood and sweat we shed live on. Only when there is such a nation will men and women build a monument praising Heaven for God’s work on this earth, and only then will every trace of glory remain. If there is no nation, it all will have been for nothing. This is why we must understand that the establishment of God’s Kingdom is the most important task in all heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must live with the constant conviction that “Our blessed family is protecting the heavenly nation that is qualified to receive the love of the True Parents. So I must be a filial child of the True Parents and fulfill the way of the patriot for the nation.” It means that we must receive the love of God and True Parents. We cannot receive God’s love unless we have a nation. This is because only after we have been victorious over nations under Satan’s kingship can God’s Kingdom be established.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Kingdom is the Cherished Desire of All People</h3>
|
||||
<p>We cherish God’s Kingdom. Why is this? It is because it is the place where there is true love and the place where True Parents reside. It is the place that will become the ideal nation where we can find a love that is not transitory but lives eternally, transcending time. Also, it is the place where we can be lifted up, and where our value is recognized to the fullest extent. It is the place where we can be happy eternally. These are the reasons that fallen people yearn for the Heavenly Kingdom and long to see it.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must travel the path that we truly want to travel, and we must build the nation in which we want to live for all eternity. If we possess riches, they must be only those that can be guaranteed as belonging to the cosmos at the same time that they belong to us, and belonging to the past and future at the same time that they belong to the present. We must also possess the authority and knowledge such that when we weep, heaven and earth will weep with us, and when we are joyful, heaven and earth can share our joy. This is the highest desire and cherished hope that fallen humanity must establish in the present age.</p>
|
||||
<p>All true persons should be able to live in his or her original nation. This is an absolute right and requirement bestowed on human beings. Everyone without exception must live a life filled with a cherished desire for God’s ideal Kingdom and His ideal righteousness. This means that we must create an image of the ideal world in our thoughts, and in our daily life follow the path of living for the sake of God’s ideal Kingdom and His ideal righteousness.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you have such a nation? Because you do not, you must now establish such a nation. What kind of nation did I say this would be? It will be an ideal nation of God our Father and a nation of unity. It will be a nation where all people can live in attendance to the Parents. In the work to establish this nation, no fallen person can be excluded. The family, clan, nation, and world all will cooperate. This is how each individual can become unified internally, and can establish unity within families, clans, societies, nations, and the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>The omniscient and omnipotent God must accomplish the purpose of His providence on the earth without fail. What, then, will be the result? It will be that God will be able to save all people and exercise His dominion over the world. The purpose of the providence cannot be anything other than the hope for this to come to pass.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you do not complete the task of restoring a nation on earth within your lifetime, then in the spirit world you will not possess the value of a person of the Kingdom of Heaven. You must take with you to the next life the achievements and qualifications established in the realm of a nation ruled under God’s dominion on earth. This is the original standard of God’s creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>I envy nothing of this world. I have no interest in the things of the fallen world. My lifelong cherished desire has been this: “Shouldn’t I be able to die in God’s ideal nation where God can protect me? If I do not bring this about during my lifetime, then will not mine have been a miserable life? I must establish this nation before I die and live there, even if only for a single day.”</p>
|
||||
<p>For the sake of that single day, I am willing to offer the sacrifices made over thousands of days. You might rest, because you do not understand these things, but I keep going. Even if you cannot do it, I still must do it, even if it requires mobilizing people from other countries. If one nation cannot do it, I must work through other countries to carry out an indirect strategy.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the purpose of our faith? It is that we become citizens of God’s Kingdom. If we are not citizens of His Kingdom, we are not free to relate with pride to all people and the creation. We are not free to receive their love. A person without a nation is always vulnerable. He stands in a pitiful position. He may suffer unjustly for any number of reasons. This is why we need to know where to find the nation of God’s desire; that is, the nation that will serve as God’s foothold in the world. This is the essential issue.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ultimately, we shed blood and sweat for the sake of this nation and its people for the sake of building the eternal heavenly kingdom, and for the sake of building a prosperous society about which our descendants will sing praise through all eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Without a doubt, the children of God’s direct lineage will exercise kingly authority in this nation, based on their mandate from Heaven carrying God’s full authority. This nation will have neither democracy nor Communism. Once formed, it will endure forever.</p>
|
||||
<p>When you consider this, aren’t you distressed about not being citizens of such a nation? I believe we should be lamenting the fact that we are not able to live in such an ideal country. We must repent that we have not acquired this unique and unchanging kingship.</p>
|
||||
<p>In attempting to establish such a kingship, nation, and territory, God has established in history nations in the realm of the chosen people where goodness reigned. We know that during this process, many people have died, many ordinary people were sacrificed, many countries were destroyed, and royal authority changed hands many times. Among the people who were sacrificed, there can be no doubt that those standing on Heaven’s side, the sorrowful souls who were sacrificed for this purpose, still long for the establishment of such a Kingdom and such a world.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Providence to Establish the Ideal Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>We have come to know that after the human fall, Satan, not God, exercised dominion over history. God, however, was originally supposed to be the master of this world. If clans and states formed by families of God’s direct children who related to God in a relationship of love had built the world, God would have been able to exercise His dominion over the world, over every nation, over every family, and over every individual. Because of the human fall, however, all individuals, families, clans, societies, nations, and the world now stand in opposition to God. This is the history and world brought about by the fall.</p>
|
||||
<p>The created world, centering on the Creator, is mired in deep sorrow. If we leave the world as it is, the world of eternal love expressing God’s ideal of creation will not come about. But because God, as the Absolute Being, cannot establish His original authority unless He accomplishes His original will, He has used His position as the standard to bring the world of evil under control and lead it to become the world of His original ideal. This has been the history of God’s providence with respect to the fallen world.</p>
|
||||
<p>There are many nations on the earth today that belong to the fallen sovereignty, but there is not even one that is aligned with God’s fervent desire. In order to establish a nation through which He can accomplish His will, God has been working throughout history to guide people without their awareness. God created Adam and raised him toward perfection with the desire to have one being through whom He could exercise dominion over all families, societies and the world. As a result of the fall of Adam and Eve, however, the history in which a unified world was to have begun in one family was broken into innumerable pieces as the history of struggle between good and evil. The historical view of the providence of salvation is that all the broken pieces are being arranged and connected.</p>
|
||||
<p>Since Adam was the ancestor of all human beings, losing Adam as a single individual was the same as losing the entire whole. So God needs to call and establish Adam again. The person who is established must be someone who is able to deny, forsake, and forget his clan and nation of the satanic world and live exclusively for God’s will. He must be an absolute true person who goes forward only for the sake of God’s will.</p>
|
||||
<p>All religions share a common purpose ultimately to accomplish God’s will. Let us examine this in the context of the origin of the history of Christianity in the realm of the Providence. Noah was situated in the context of a particular people, but he did not wish to be affiliated with that. He belonged to a particular nation, but he refused to be confined by that nation and set out to establish a nation of his own desire. In order to establish such a nation, he had to pass through all manner of trials and adversities.</p>
|
||||
<p>Noah had relatives and his own people, but he was more concerned with seeking the nation of God’s will. God’s fervent desire for Noah was that he would seek God’s ideal Kingdom and His ideal righteousness and overcome the individual environment.</p>
|
||||
<p>Can you imagine the extent of Noah’s suffering during the trials that continued day after day for 120 years? Even his family forsook him, but Noah accepted all the arrows of opposition and endured for 120 years. He was well aware of the principle that if he ate and drank before seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, he and his descendants would have to pay indemnity.</p>

<p>God established Abraham and Sarah and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldeans. They did not know that they were to live in Haran, but they headed for this place with faithful hearts obeying unconditionally. God wanted absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Even when Sarah was taken away by the Pharaoh, she never begrudged Abraham. Their hearts as they headed for the nation of their desires were such they did not waver even in the face of the most severe persecution.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jacob had the conviction that the blessing given to him included the nation and people of his fervent desire, and no one could shake him from this conviction. In this way, the will of God expanded from the individual to the family and tribe as our forbears gradually developed a desire that would encompass the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus, because of Israel’s disbelief and persecution, was forced into a life of wandering. He was unable to fulfill the hope that speaks both to the spirit and the flesh. But the Messiah comes with the mission to break down all barriers in heaven and earth and bring about a single unified whole. God’s unchanging will is that we establish without fail the principled state required by heavenly law, and that states structured by principles of the fallen world pass away. God’s fervent hope in Adam was not confined to Adam as an individual, but extended to bringing about a family, clan, society and nation from Adam.</p>
|
||||
<p>When the Messiah’s efforts to build a true nation were shattered, Israel suffered enormously. So the Lord who comes again is responsible to perfect and restore the family of Adam and the family of Jesus and fulfill the mission of the Messiah for restoration on a worldwide level in the Completed Testament Age which is the mission of the Third Adam. This person is responsible to advance the Completed Testament Age, the age of the restoration of Adam on a worldwide level, on the foundation of the Old Testament Age, when restoration of the ideal of the first Adam’s family was attempted, and the national foundation of the New Testament Age for establishing the restored realm of the ideal of Jesus’ family and perfecting the nation. He must also perfect the family, clan, people, nation, and world of God’s will centered on the ideal of Adam’s realm.</p>
|
||||
<p>God sent His beloved sons and daughters to the earth to push history forward, toward establishing the nation that is absolutely one. But at the present moment there is no prepared foundation on which the one nation can be restored. Because of repeated failures by fallen human beings, God has sent heavenly persons to the earth to carry out, push forward, and accomplish this task. This is the historical view of the providence of restoration.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must be grateful, even if God sacrifices us fallen humans as individuals. Even if He sacrifices our families, clans, societies and nations, we must be grateful. Only when such a true individual and a true nation are created can order be brought to the world. If God’s Kingdom cannot be built on the foundation of sacrifices made by an individual, then the sacrifice must extend past the individual to the family, clan, and society.</p>
|
||||
<p>As He carried out the providence to establish His Kingdom, even God has been governed by this principle. Thus, His strategy is that, if an individual were to appear who could live for the sake of the Kingdom, then the family that inherited this person’s individual tradition would make the next sacrifice for the sake of the nation, and then a clan and a people would inherit the tradition of this family and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world. This is how God has carried out the providence to establish His Kingdom. We need to realize for a certainty that this individual is the true father of our true selves, and that he has been working hard to establish each of us as true sons and daughters and establish our families and nations. This realization brings with it the responsibility to recompense.</p>
|
||||
<p>For what purpose were we born on this earth? We were born to love God’s Kingdom. Also, God’s love for that Kingdom has motivated Him in carrying out His providence.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Jesus and God’s Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>Citizens of a nation that has no sovereignty are in a pitiful situation. This concerned Jesus, and so he told us: “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.” (Matthew 6:31-33) This is the responsibility that must be accomplished by the religious realm. Did he say we should seek after having a son first? Did he say we should seek after our own nations first? Jesus told us to seek after the Kingdom that God seeks.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s fervent desire to establish His Kingdom and His righteousness cannot be accomplished apart from human beings and the creation. In fact, it is only through human beings that it can be accomplished. This is the principle of God’s creation. God desires to be harmonized with the creation through true human beings. That is why God sent Jesus to this earth as a substantial being, a man who could represent the Lord before fallen humanity and bring forth Heaven’s lineage. Jesus was the first person who had the purpose of accomplishing God’s fervent historical desire on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus was God’s son, the first established in this position after 4,000 years of preparation. He was the son of God living on the earth in the midst of a nation centering on Judaism with the seed of the family of Joseph. The satanic side already had established nations and was attacking the side of Heaven, so Heaven’s side also needed a nation standing on a complete foundation. This was Jesus’ responsibility.</p>
|
||||
<p>That is why God labored for 4,000 years to form that single nation. The fruit of God’s labor was to have come about by the people of Israel accepting Jesus and forming a worldwide foundation. This was to have led to the establishment of a world centered completely on God and Jesus on the earth. Because Jesus died prematurely, however, this world was established only spiritually.</p>
|
||||
<p>Centering on his three year public life, Jesus attempted to indemnify everything that had been lost centering on Judaism. Jesus was crucified, however, and Israel, which had been established as a substantial body on the earth, as God’s national foundation in both spirit and flesh, also perished. Because Jesus died on the cross, Israel perished as a physical nation. The Israelites became a people without a nation, forced to wander the earth as an object of the satanic world’s derision. After Jesus’ resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended to assume the position of the spiritual parent and on that basis, Christianity could achieve only the spiritual foundation of a nation. This is why we cannot find a nation that is truly Christian in spirit and flesh. So the Lord who comes again must restore the 4,000 year providence by which God created the nation of Israel, and restore all that was lost through the disbelief of the Israelites that resulted from their ignorance.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus came to establish a nation, one nation. He was not able to establish this nation both in spirit and flesh; he established it only in spirit. That is why Christianity today does not have a substantial nation on the earth. This means that God cannot turn to any nation or any people on earth and say, “My beloved nation, my beloved people.” This tells us that the foundation for God’s Kingdom has not yet been built on this earth. If at the time of Jesus, the nation of Israel had become one centering on Jesus, then that nation would have been God’s Kingdom centering on His son, Jesus, and God would have restored the world centering on that nation. As a result of Jesus’ death, that is, as a result of the loss of the substantial body, the foundation to connect spirit and flesh on the earth could bear fruit only spiritually.</p>
|
||||
<p>Until now Christians have been like a people without a country, so they have suffered death everywhere they have gone. Christianity grew through the blood of martyrs. Because of the manner in which Christianity was planted in the world, it could not grow except by the blood of martyrs. Now the time of shedding blood and receiving persecution is over. Instead of dying away and disappearing, however, there has appeared a way of thinking that yearns for God’s Kingdom and eagerly awaits the coming Lord in order to establish the lost substantial nation on the basis of Christianity’s spiritual foundation. This is the expectation of the Second Coming. Christianity has a heavy responsibility as the bride religion.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even Jesus is waiting in Paradise. We need to know that he has not yet been able to go before Heaven’s throne. Jesus needed to establish national sovereignty before God, rule over a nation, and build a nation that would possess the authority to go directly from earth to Heaven. Because he was not able to build such a nation, Jesus cannot stand before God. So Paradise became the “waiting room” on the way to Heaven. Heaven is a place where no one can enter alone. If the fall had not occurred, we would have gone to Heaven as blessed families, centering on Adam and Eve. We must go there along with our sons and daughters.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order to restore everything that went wrong beginning with the false parents. The returning Lord repeatedly holds Holy Blessing Ceremonies on the standard of cosmic indemnity, engrafting us to God’s true love, true life, and true lineage. Everyone in the world must pass through this gate in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, so it is necessary to hold the Blessing ceremonies so often.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order to restore this through indemnity, God has been fighting for 2,000 years to build a foundation that can connect to the world. Where there is no national standard, though, who will inherit the foundation of the nation? Because the religious realm does not unite, God is working through a new movement for religious unity centering on Christianity to find such spiritual people and make the necessary preparations,</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected religious leaders: As humanity enters the third millennium, it is receiving heavenly fortune anew. This is because have entered the age of Great Holy Blessings centered on True Parents, and the age of the world of the realm of heaven and earth ideal has begun.</p>
|
||||
<p>I hope that all religious people will join their hearts together and follow through on my proposal to establish a council within the United Nations composed of representatives from various religions, parallel with the General Assembly. The reason is that the Kingdom of Heaven and on Earth can be brought about in a very short time, if only the United Nations will join in the effort. If there is one lofty task that the United Nations can perform for the sake of humankind, it would be to contribute to humanity’s spiritual recovery on the foundation of God’s true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>For this purpose, I have chosen leaders of good conscience from not only the religious field but also from government, philosophy, business, culture and other fields, and provided true love marriage education that teaches “the life lived for the sake of others.” On this foundation, I have already appointed tens of thousands of Ambassadors for Peace. All around the world, they carry the banner of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace that I founded. They are devoting their full efforts to bringing about the world of peace that will represent the opening of the heavens and is the fervent desire of God and humankind. It will not be long before the will of the almighty, omniscient, and absolute God is accomplished.</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to conclude my remarks by asking that the leaders assembled here also become active participants in recreating your families and nations in true love and in bringing about an everlasting world of peace where there are no national boundaries, and take the lead in bringing about nations in accordance with God’s Will and accomplishing the blessing ideal of Cheon-il Guk of a world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>I pray that Heaven’s blessing may overflow in abundance upon you and your families.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Reverend Sun Myung Moon<br />
|
||||
Ambassadors for Peace Conference in Kona, Hawaii<br />
|
||||
December 9, 2002 – Kona, Hawaii</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders of religion, politics, and academia from around the world, renowned diplomats and ambassadors of peace!</p>
|
||||
<p>We gathered here together with our hearts yearning for world peace. On this profoundly significant occasion, as the Founder of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, I would like to convey a message regarding God’s original ideal. The title is, “God’s Fatherland and the One World.”</p>
|
||||
<h3>Why We Must Establish His Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>God has spoken of “His Kingdom and His righteousness,” but people living on the Earth today have not been able to find it. It is important to know that humanity today, as for the past thousands of years of human history, has fervently desired the establishment of God’s Kingdom and His righteousness.</p>
|
||||
<p>How is it, then, that the Kingdom and the Righteousness that we have fervently desired remain unfulfilled goals? The reason is that human beings committed the fall. As a result of the human fall, God and humanity, who originally could have formed the center of His Kingdom and His righteousness, found themselves in circumstances that prevented their forming a relationship with each other. Human beings did not know much about our Father, the center of His Kingdom or His righteousness. Hence, God has labored throughout the course of history to illuminate these ignorant people and teach us about Himself. In this context, establishing His Kingdom and His righteousness remains our fervent desire and goal.</p>
|
||||
<p>There exist many nations in today’s world. Yet, not even one can truly receive love from God. For this reason, God wants to negate this fallen world and recreate His new Kingdom. God has conducted His providence to establish a nation. God cannot accomplish His will for human restoration without cooperation from a nation. There must be a true state that is centered on true religion. Hence, in the fullness of time, God established a particular nation and religion, the chosen people of Israel and Judaism.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the character of the nation that fulfills our fervent desire for the Kingdom of God? It is not like the nations in which you now are living. Someday, we will have to leave these nations. We do not yet have God’s Kingdom. A person without a nation does not have a permanent domicile, a nationality, or the possibility to register as a citizen. For this reason, we must accomplish the establishment of God’s Kingdom in the present world. We must construct the heavenly kingdom on the earth. We must live on the earth as citizens of this nation. In that nation we lead our own families and kin, and inherit the lineage of the true and good parents who love their country and their nation as victorious sons and daughters. In that way only will we enter the Kingdom of Heaven in the heavenly world. This is God’s Principle.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only when there is a nation will we be able to bequeath a tradition that remains with our descendents into eternity. Only when there is a nation will the blood and sweat we shed live on. Only when there is a nation will men and women build a monument praising Heaven for God’s work on this earth, and will every trace of glory remain. If there is no nation, it all will have been for nothing. This is why we must understand that the establishment of God’s Kingdom is our most important task.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must live with the constant conviction that “Our family is protecting the nation that is qualified to receive the love of the True Parents. So I must be a filial child of the True Parents and fulfill the way of the patriot for the nation.” It means that we must receive the love of God and True Parents. We cannot receive God’s love unless we have a nation. This is because only after we have been victorious over Satan’s rule over the nation can God’s Kingdom be established.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Kingdom is the Cherished Desire of All People</h3>
|
||||
<p>We cherish God’s Kingdom. Why is this? It is because it is the place where there is true love. It is the place where we can find a love that is not transitory but lives eternally, transcending time. Also, it is the place where we can be lifted up, and where our value is recognized to the fullest extent. It is the place where we can be happy eternally. These are the reasons that people yearn for the Heavenly Kingdom and long to see it.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must travel the path that we truly want to travel, and we must build the nation in which we want to live for all eternity. If we possess riches, they must be only those that are guaranteed to belong to the cosmos at the same time that they belong to us, and to belong to the past and future at the same time that they belong to the present. We must also possess the authority and knowledge such that when we weep, heaven and earth will weep with us, and when we are joyful, heaven and earth can share our joy. This is the highest desire and cherished hope that fallen humanity must establish in the present age.</p>

<p>True man and woman should be able to live in his or her own nation. This is an absolute right and requirement bestowed on human beings. Everyone without exception must live a life filled with a cherished desire for God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. This means that we must paint a picture of the ideal world with our thoughts, and follow the path of living for the sake of His Kingdom and His righteousness with our lives.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you have such a nation? Because you do not, you must now establish such a nation. What kind of nation did I say this would be? It will be a nation of ideals, a nation of unity. It will be a nation that all people can enter. In the task of all people to establish this nation; no one is excluded. The family, clan, nation, and world all will cooperate. This is how each individual can become unified internally, and establish unity within families, clans, societies, nations, and the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>God must accomplish the purpose of His providence on the earth without fail. What, then, will be the result? It is that God saves all people as His children and exercise His dominion over the world. The purpose of the providence cannot be anything other than the hope for this to come to pass.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you are unable to complete the task of restoring a nation on the earth, then in the spirit world you will not possess the value of a true person of the Kingdom of Heaven. You must take with you to the next life the achievement and qualification of having been ruled under God’s dominion on earth. This is the original standard of God’s creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>I envy nothing of this world. I have no interest in the things of this world. My lifelong cherished desire has been this: “Shouldn’t I be able to die in a nation where God can protect me? If I do not bring this about during my lifetime, then will not mine have been a miserable life? I must establish this nation before I die and live there, even if only for a single day.”</p>
|
||||
<p>For the sake of that single day, I am willing to invest the sacrifices made over thousands of days. You might rest, because you do not understand these things, but I keep going. Even if you cannot do it, I still must do it, even if it requires mobilizing people from other countries. If one nation cannot do it, I must work through other countries to carry out an indirect strategy.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the purpose of our faith? It is that we become citizens of God’s Kingdom. If we are not citizens of His Kingdom, we are not free to relate with pride to all people and the creation, and receive their love. A person without a nation is always vulnerable. He stands in a pitiful position. He may suffer unjustly for any number of reasons. This is why we need to know where to find the nation of God’s desire, that is, the nation that will serve as God’s foothold in the world. This is the essential issue.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ultimately, we should be able to shed blood and sweat for the sake of the people of this nation, for the sake of building the eternal heavenly kingdom, and for the sake of building a prosperous society for which our descendents will sing praise through all eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Without a doubt, the children of God’s direct lineage will exercise kingly authority in this nation, based on their mandate from Heaven, commands that carry God’s full authority. This Kingdom will recognize democracy and Communism as failed attempts. Once formed, this Kingdom will endure forever.</p>
|
||||
<p>When you consider this, aren’t you distressed about not being citizens of this Kingdom? I believe we should be lamenting the fact that we are not able to live in such a nation. We must repent that we have not acquired this unique and unchanging kingship.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order to establish such a kingship, nation, and territory, God has established numerous kingdoms throughout human history. We know that during this process, many people died, many common people were sacrificed, many countries were destroyed, and royal authority changed hands many times. Among the people who were sacrificed, there can be no doubt that those on Heaven’s side, the sorrowful souls who were sacrificed for this purpose, still long for the establishment of such a Kingdom and such a world.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Providence to Establish His Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>We have come to know that after the human fall, Satan, not God, exercised dominion over history. God, however, was originally supposed to be the master of this world. If clans and states formed by families of God’s direct children had built the world, and if they had maintained the relationship of love with God, then God would have been able to exercise His dominion over the world, over every nation, over every family, and over every individual. Because of the human fall, however, all individuals, families, clans, societies, nations, and the world now stand in opposition to God. This is the history and world brought about by the fall.</p>
|
||||
<p>If we leave the world as it is, the world of eternal true love expressing God’s ideal of creation will not come about. But because God, as the Absolute Being, cannot establish His original authority unless He accomplishes His original Will, He has used His position as the standard to bring the world of evil under control and lead it to become the true world of His original ideal. This has been God’s providence with respect to the fallen world.</p>
|
||||
<p>There are many nations on the earth today that belong to the fallen sovereignty, but there is not even one that is aligned with God’s fervent desire. In order to establish a nation through which He can accomplish His will, God worked through history to guide people without their awareness. God created Adam and raised him toward perfection with the desire to have one being through whom He could exercise dominion over all families, societies, and the world. As a result of Adam’s fall, however, the history that began in oneness was broken into innumerable pieces. The history of salvation has been a process of arranging and connecting all the pieces.</p>
|
||||
<p>Since Adam was the ancestor of all human beings, losing Adam as a single individual was the same as losing the entire whole. So God needs to call and establish Adam again. The person who is established must be a true man who is able to forsake and forget his clan and nation of this satanic world, and live exclusively for God’s Will.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, ultimately, all religions share a common purpose to accomplish the Will of God. To take an example that you are familiar with, we can see this in the history of Judeo-Christianity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Although Noah was situated in a national environment, he did not desire to be associated with that. He was associated with a country, but he was not limited by the confines of his country. He reached out beyond his country to establish the country of his fervent desire.</p>
|
||||
<p>For him to establish the country of his fervent desire, it was necessary to pass through all manner of ordeals and adversity. Noah had his relatives, and he had his people, but he put a higher value on seeking the nation of God’s Will.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s hope for Noah was that he would seek His kingdom and His righteousness, and that he would overcome his own individual environment. Can you imagine the suffering and sorrow that Noah must have experienced as he passed through his 120-year ordeal, day after day through spring, summer, autumn, and winter? Even his family abandoned him, but Noah accepted all the arrows thrust at him, and endured for 120 years.</p>
|
||||
<p>Noah knew well the principle that if he ate and drank before seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, then he would later have to indemnify everything.</p>
|
||||
<p>God established Abraham and Sarah and brought them out of Ur of the Chalde’ans. They did not know that Haran was the place where they were to live, but they trusted God unconditionally and set out for this place with a heart of obedience.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even when Pharaoh took Sarah, she never condemned Abraham. In this way, the heart of these two people as they traveled toward the nation of their desire was such that even the most severe persecution did not cause them to waver from their purpose.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jacob had the conviction that the nation and people of his desire were promised to him by the blessing given to him, and no one could break that conviction. In this way, the prophets have had a desire that began with the individual and, over time, has grown to the family, clan, and finally worldwide levels. Because of Israel’s unbelief and persecution, Jesus was forced to become a wanderer, and he was not able to accomplish his fervent desire in both spirit and flesh.</p>
|
||||
<p>But the Messiah comes with the mission to break down all barriers in Heaven and earth, and to establish a single unified nation. God wills absolutely that we establish the principled state required by heavenly law, and that states structured by principles of the fallen world pass away. God’s fervent hope in Adam was not confined to Adam as an individual, but extended to bring about a family, clan, society, nation and world from Adam.</p>
|
||||
<p>When the Messiah’s efforts to build a true nation shattered, Israel suffered enormously. So the Lord who comes again is responsible to perfect Adam and fulfill the mission of the Messiah. This person is responsible to perfect the family, clan, society, nation and world rooted in Adam.</p>
|
||||
<p>God sent His beloved sons and daughters to the earth to push history forward, toward establishing the nation that is absolutely one. But at the present moment there is no prepared foundation on which the one nation can be restored. Because of the repeated failures of fallen humanity, God has sent heavenly persons to the earth to carry out, push forward, and accomplish this task throughout history. This has been the history of the providence of restoration.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must be grateful, even if God sacrifices us as individuals. Even if He sacrifices our families, clans, societies and nations, we must be grateful. Only when such a true individual and a true nation are created can order be brought to the new world. If God’s Kingdom cannot be built on the foundation of sacrifices made by an individual, then the sacrifice must extend again past the individual to the family, clan, people, nation and the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>As He carried out the providence to establish His Kingdom, even God has been governed by this principle. Thus His strategy is that if an individual were to appear who could live for the sake of the Kingdom, then the family that inherited this person’s individual tradition would make the next sacrifice for the sake of the Kingdom, and then a clan, people and nation would inherit the tradition of this family and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the Kingdom. This is how God has carried out the providence to establish His Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>For what purpose were we born on this earth? We were born to love God’s Kingdom. Also, God’s love for that Kingdom has motivated Him in carrying out His providence.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Jesus and God’s Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>Citizens of a nation that has no sovereignty are in a pitiful situation. This concerned Jesus, and so he told us: “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.” (Matthew 6: 31-33) Did he say we should seek after having a son first? Or was it God’s Kingdom? Jesus told us to seek after the Kingdom that God seeks. God’s fervent desire to establish His Kingdom and His righteousness cannot be accomplished apart from human beings and the creation. In fact, it is only through human beings and the creation that it can be accomplished. God desires to be harmonized with the creation through true human beings. That is why God sent Jesus to this earth as a substantial being who could represent the Lord before fallen humanity and bring forth Heaven’s lineage. Jesus was the first person who had the purpose of accomplishing God’s fervent historical desire on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus was God’s son, the first established in this position after 4,000 years of preparation. He was the son of God living on the earth in the midst of a nation centering on Judaism with the seed of the family of Joseph. The satanic side already had established nations and was attacking the side of Heaven, so Heaven’s side also needed a national standard on a complete foundation. That is why God labored for 4,000 years to form that single nation out of the evil world. The fruit of God’s labor was to have come by the people of Israel accepting Jesus and forming a worldwide foundation. This was to have led to the establishment of a world centered completely on God and Jesus on earth. Because Jesus died prematurely, however, this world was established only spiritually.</p>
|
||||
<p>Centering on his three-year public life, Jesus attempted to indemnify everything that had been lost centering on Judaism. Jesus was crucified, however, and Israel, which had been established as a substantial body on the earth, as God’s national foundation in both spirit and flesh, also perished. Because Jesus was killed, Christianity could achieve only the spiritual foundation of a nation, and the Israelites became a people without a nation, forced to wander the world as an object of derision from the satanic world. This is why we cannot find a nation that is truly Christian in spirit and flesh. So the Lord who comes again must restore the 4,000-year providence by which God created the nation of Israel, and restore all that was lost through the disbelief of the Israelites that resulted from their ignorance.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus came to establish a nation, one nation. He was not able to establish this nation both in spirit and flesh; he established it only in spirit. That is why Christianity today does not have a substantial nation on the earth. This means that God cannot turn to any nation or any people on earth and say, “My beloved nation, my beloved people.” This tells us that the foundation for God’s Kingdom has not yet been built on this earth. If at the time of Jesus, the nation of Israel had become one centering on Jesus, then that nation would have been God’s Kingdom centering on His son, Jesus, and God would have restored the world centering on that nation. As a result of Jesus’ death, that is, as a result of the loss of the substantial body, the foundation to connect spirit and flesh on the earth could bear fruit only spiritually.</p>
|
||||
<p>Until now Christians have been like a people without a country, so they have suffered death everywhere they have gone. Christianity grew through the blood of martyrs. Because of the manner in which Christianity was planted in the world, it could not grow except by the blood of martyrs. Now the time of shedding blood and receiving persecution is over. Instead of dying away and disappearing, however, there has appeared a thought that yearns for God’s Kingdom and eagerly awaits the coming Lord in order to establish the lost substantial nation on the basis of Christianity’s spiritual foundation. This is the thought of the Second Coming.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even Jesus is waiting in Paradise. We need to know that he has not yet gone before Heaven’s throne. Jesus needed to establish national sovereignty before God, rule over a nation, and build a nation that would possess the authority to go directly from earth to Heaven. Because he was not able to build such a nation, Jesus cannot stand before God. So Paradise became the “waiting room” on the way to Heaven. Heaven is a place where no one can enter alone. If the fall had not occurred, we would have gone to Heaven as blessed families, centering on Adam and Eve. We must go there along with our sons and daughters.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order to restore this through indemnity, God has fought for 2,000 years to build a foundation that can connect to the world. Where there is no national standard, though, who will inherit the foundation of the nation? To find such spiritual people and make the necessary preparations, God has worked through a new religious movement centering on Christianity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected religious leaders: As humanity enters the third millennium, it is receiving heavenly fortune anew. I hope that all religious people will join their hearts together and follow through on my proposal to establish an assembly within the United Nations composed of representatives from various religions, parallel with the General Assembly. If there is one lofty task that the United Nations can perform for the sake of humankind, it would be to contribute to humanity’s spiritual recovery on the foundation of God’s true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>For this purpose, I have chosen leaders of good conscience from not only the religious field but also from government, philosophy, business, culture and other fields, and provided true love education that teaches “to live for the sake of others.” On this foundation, I have already appointed tens of thousands of Ambassadors for Peace. All around the world, they carry the banner of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace that I founded. They are devoting their full efforts to bringing about the world of peace that is the fervent desire of God and humankind. It will not be long before the will of the almighty, omniscient and absolute God is accomplished.</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to conclude my remarks by asking that the leaders assembled here also become active participants in recreating your families, nations and the God-desired original world in true love and in bringing about an everlasting world of peace where there are no national boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p>I pray that Heaven’s blessing may overflow in abundance upon you and your families. Thank you.</p>

Toward an Interreligious Council at the United Nations</h3>

Founder’s Address</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected current and former heads of state, leaders of religion, politics, and academia from around the world, renowned diplomats and leaders of the United Nations:</p>
|
||||
<p>In addition to the IIFWP Convocation, another reason for your gathering here today, with your hearts yearning for world peace, is to commemorate the International Day of Peace. On this profoundly significant occasion, as the Founder of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, I would like to convey a message regarding God’s original ideal. The title is, “<i>God’s Fatherland and the One World</i>.”</p>
|
||||
<h3>Why We Must Establish God’s Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>God has spoken of “His Kingdom and His righteousness,” but people living on the earth today have not been able to find it. It is important to know that humanity today, just as it has for many thousands of years of human history, fervently desires the establishment of God’s Kingdom and His righteousness.</p>
|
||||
<p>How is it, then, that the Kingdom and the righteousness that we have fervently desired remain unfulfilled goals? The reason is that human beings committed the fall. As a result of the human fall, God and humanity, who originally could have formed the center of His Kingdom and His righteousness, found themselves in circumstances that prevented their forming a relationship with each other. Human beings did not know much about our Father, the center of His Kingdom or His righteousness. Hence, God has labored throughout the course of history to enlighten these ignorant people and to teach us about Himself. In this context, establishing His Kingdom and His righteousness remains our fervent desire and goal.</p>
|
||||
<p>There exist many nations in today’s world. Yet, not even one can truly receive love from God. For this reason, God wants to negate this fallen world and recreate His new Kingdom. God has conducted His providence to establish a nation. God cannot accomplish His will for human restoration without cooperation from a nation. There must be a true state that is centered on true religion. Hence, in the fullness of time, God established a particular nation and religion, the chosen people of Israel and Judaism.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the character of the nation that fulfills our fervent desire for the Kingdom of God? It is not like the nations in which you now are living. Someday, we will have to leave these nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>We do not yet have God’s Kingdom. A person without a nation does not have a permanent domicile, a nationality, or the possibility to register as a citizen. For this reason, we must accomplish the establishment of God’s Kingdom in the present world. We must construct the heavenly kingdom on the earth. We must live on the earth as citizens of this nation. In that nation we lead our own families and kin, and inherit the lineage of the true and good parents who love their country and their nation as victorious sons and daughters. Only in that way will we enter the Kingdom of Heaven in the spiritual world. This is God’s Principle.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only when there is a nation will we be able to bequeath a tradition that remains with our descendants into eternity. Only when there is a nation will the blood and sweat we shed live on. Only when there is a nation will men and women build a monument praising Heaven for God’s work on this earth, and only then will every trace of glory remain. If there is no nation, it all will have been for nothing. This is why we must understand that the establishment of God’s Kingdom is our most important task.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must live with the constant conviction that “Our family is protecting the nation that is qualified to receive the love of the True Parents. So I must be a filial child of the True Parents and fulfill the way of the patriot for the nation.” It means that we must receive the love of God and True Parents. We cannot receive God’s love unless we have a nation. This is because only after we have been victorious over Satan’s rule over the nation can God’s Kingdom be established.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Kingdom is the Cherished Desire of All People</h3>
|
||||
<p>We cherish God’s Kingdom. Why is this? It is because it is the place where there is love. It is the place where we can find a love that is not transitory but lives eternally, transcending time. Also, it is the place where we can be lifted up, and where our value is recognized to the fullest extent. It is the place where we can be happy eternally. These are the reasons that people yearn for the Heavenly Kingdom and long to see it.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must travel the path that we truly want to travel, and we must build the nation in which we want to live for all eternity. If we possess riches, they must be only those that are guaranteed to belong to the cosmos at the same time that they belong to us, and to belong to the past and future at the same time that they belong to the present. We must also possess the authority and knowledge such that when we weep, heaven and earth will weep with us, and when we are joyful, heaven and earth can share our joy. This is the highest desire and cherished hope that fallen humanity must establish in the present age.</p>
|
||||
<p>Everyone should be able to live in his or her own nation. This is an absolute right and requirement bestowed on human beings. Everyone without exception must live a life filled with a cherished desire for God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. This means that we must paint a picture of the ideal world with our thoughts, and in our daily life follow the path of living for the sake of His Kingdom and His righteousness.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you have such a nation? Because you do not, you must now establish such a nation. What kind of nation did I say this would be? It will be a nation of ideals, a nation of unity. It will be a nation that all people can enter. In the work to establish this nation, no one is excluded. The family, clan, nation, and world all will cooperate. This is how each individual can become unified internally, and can establish unity within families, clans, societies, nations, and the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>God must accomplish the purpose of His providence on the earth without fail. What, then, will be the result? It will be that God will be able to save all people and exercise His dominion over the world. The purpose of the providence cannot be anything other than the hope for this to come to pass.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you are unable to complete the task of restoring a nation on the earth, then in the spirit world you will not possess the value of a person of the Kingdom of Heaven. You must take with you to the next life the achievement and qualification of having been ruled under God’s dominion on earth. This is the original standard of God’s creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>I envy nothing of this world. I have no interest in the things of this world. My lifelong cherished desire has been this: “Shouldn’t I be able to die in a nation where God can protect me? If I do not bring this about during my lifetime, then will not mine have been a miserable life? I must establish this nation before I die and live there, even if only for a single day.”</p>
|
||||
<p>For the sake of that single day, I am willing to offer the sacrifices made over thousands of days. You might rest, because you do not understand these things, but I keep going. Even if you cannot do it, I still must do it, even if it requires mobilizing people from other countries. If one nation cannot do it, I must work through other countries to carry out an indirect strategy.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the purpose of our faith? It is that we become citizens of God’s Kingdom. If we are not citizens of His Kingdom, we are not free to relate with pride to all people and the creation. We are not free to receive their love. A person without a nation is always vulnerable. He stands in a pitiful position. He may suffer unjustly for any number of reasons. This is why we need to know where to find the nation of God’s desire; that is, the nation that will serve as God’s foothold in the world. This is the essential issue.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ultimately, we should be able to shed blood and sweat for the sake of the people of this nation, for the sake of building the eternal heavenly kingdom, and for the sake of building a prosperous society about which our descendants will sing praise through all eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Without a doubt, the children of God’s direct lineage will exercise kingly authority in this nation, based on their mandate from Heaven that carry God’s full authority. This Kingdom will recognize democracy and communism as failed systems. Once formed, this Kingdom will endure forever.</p>
|
||||
<p>When you consider this, aren’t you distressed about not being citizens of this Kingdom? I believe we should be lamenting the fact that we are not able to live in such a nation. We must repent that we have not acquired this unique and unchanging kingship.</p>
|
||||
<p>In attempting to establish such a kingship, nation, and territory, human beings have established numerous kingdoms. We know that during this process, many people have died, many common people were sacrificed, many countries were destroyed, and royal authority changed hands many times. Among the people who were sacrificed, there can be no doubt that those on Heaven’s side, the sorrowful souls who were sacrificed for this purpose, still long for the establishment of such a Kingdom and such a world.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Providence to Establish His Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>We have come to know that after the human fall, Satan, not God, exercised dominion over history. God, however, was originally supposed to be the master of this world. If clans and states formed by families of God’s direct children had built the world, and if they had maintained the relationship of love with God, then God would have been able to exercise His dominion over the world, over every nation, over every family, and over every individual. Because of the human fall, however, all individuals, families, clans, societies, nations, and the world now stand in opposition to God. This is the history and world brought about by the fall.</p>
|
||||
<p>If we leave the world as it is, the world of eternal love expressing God’s ideal of creation will not come about. But because God, as the Absolute Being, cannot establish His original authority unless He accomplishes His original will, He has used His position as the standard to bring the world of evil under control and lead it to become the world of His original ideal. This has been God’s providence with respect to the fallen world.</p>
|
||||
<p>There are many nations on the earth today that belong to the fallen sovereignty, but there is not even one that is aligned with God’s fervent desire. In order to establish a nation through which He can accomplish His will, God has been working throughout history to guide people without their awareness. God created Adam and raised him toward perfection with the desire to have one being through whom He could exercise dominion over all families, societies, and the world. As a result of Adam’s fall, however, the history that began in oneness was broken into innumerable pieces. The history of salvation has been a process of arranging and connecting all the pieces.</p>
|
||||
<p>Since Adam was the ancestor of all human beings, losing Adam as a single individual was the same as losing the entire whole. So God needs to call and establish Adam again. The person who is established must be someone who is able to forsake and forget his clan and nation and live exclusively for God’s will.</p>
|
||||
<p>Let us examine this in the context of the origin of the history of Christianity. Jesus, because of Israel’s disbelief and persecution, was forced into a life of wandering. He was unable to fulfill the hope that speaks both to the spirit and the flesh. But the Messiah comes with the mission to break down all barriers in heaven and earth and bring about a single unified whole. God wills absolutely that we establish the principled state required by heavenly law, and that states structured by principles of the fallen world pass away. God’s fervent hope in Adam was not confined to Adam as an individual, but extended to bringing about a family, clan, society and nation from Adam.</p>
|
||||
<p>When the Messiah’s efforts to build a true nation were shattered, Israel suffered enormously. So the Lord who comes again is responsible to perfect Adam and fulfill the mission of the Messiah. This person is responsible to perfect the family, clan, society, nation, and world rooted in Adam.</p>
|
||||
<p>God sent His beloved sons and daughters to the earth to push history forward, toward establishing the nation that is absolutely one. But at the present moment there is no prepared foundation on which the one nation can be restored. Because of repeated failures, God has sent heavenly persons to the earth to carry out, push forward, and accomplish this task. This has been the history of the providence of restoration.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must be grateful, even if God sacrifices us as individuals. Even if He sacrifices our families, clans, societies and nations, we must be grateful. Only when such a true individual and a true nation are created can order be brought to the world. If God’s Kingdom cannot be built on the foundation of sacrifices made by an individual, then the sacrifice must extend past the individual to the family, clan, and society.</p>
|
||||
<p>As He carried out the providence to establish His Kingdom, even God has been governed by this principle. Thus, His strategy is that, if an individual were to appear who could live for the sake of the Kingdom, then the family that inherited this person’s individual tradition would make the next sacrifice for the sake of the Kingdom, and then a clan and a people would inherit the tradition of this family and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the Kingdom. This is how God has carried out the providence to establish His Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>For what purpose were we born on this earth? We were born to love God’s Kingdom. Also, God’s love for that Kingdom has motivated Him in carrying out His providence.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Jesus and God’s Kingdom</h3>
|
||||
<p>Citizens of a nation that has no sovereignty are in a pitiful situation. This concerned Jesus, and so he told us: “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, `What shall we eat?’ or `What shall we drink?’ or `What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.” (Matthew 6: 31-33) Did he say we should seek after having a son first? Or was it God’s Kingdom? Jesus told us to seek after the Kingdom that God seeks.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s fervent desire to establish His Kingdom and His righteousness cannot be accomplished apart from human beings and the creation. In fact, it is only through human beings that it can be accomplished. God desires to be harmonized with the creation through true human beings. That is why God sent Jesus to this earth as a substantial being who could represent the Lord before fallen humanity and bring forth Heaven’s lineage. Jesus was the first person who had the purpose of accomplishing God’s fervent historical desire on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus was God’s son, the first established in this position after 4,000 years of preparation. He was the son of God living on the earth in the midst of a nation centering on Judaism with the seed of the family of Joseph. The satanic side already had established nations and was attacking the side of Heaven, so Heaven’s side also needed a nation standing on a complete foundation. That is why God labored for 4,000 years to form that single nation. The fruit of God’s labor was to have come about by the people of Israel accepting Jesus and forming a worldwide foundation. This was to have led to the establishment of a world centered completely on God and Jesus on earth. Because Jesus died prematurely, however, this world was established only spiritually.</p>
|
||||
<p>Centering on his three-year public life, Jesus attempted to indemnify everything that had been lost centering on Judaism. Jesus was crucified, however, and Israel, which had been established as a substantial body on the earth, as God’s national foundation in both spirit and flesh, also perished. Because Jesus was killed, Christianity could achieve only the spiritual foundation of a nation, and the Israelites became a people without a nation, forced to wander the world as an object of the satanic world’s derision. This is why we cannot find a nation that is truly Christian in spirit and flesh. So the Lord who comes again must restore the 4,000-year providence by which God created the nation of Israel, and restore all that was lost through the disbelief of the Israelites that resulted from their ignorance.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus came to establish a nation, one nation. He was not able to establish this nation both in spirit and flesh; he established it only in spirit. That is why Christianity today does not have a substantial nation on the earth. This means that God cannot turn to any nation or any people on earth and say, “My beloved nation, my beloved people.” This tells us that the foundation for God’s Kingdom has not yet been built on this earth. If at the time of Jesus, the nation of Israel had become one centering on Jesus, then that nation would have been God’s Kingdom centering on His son, Jesus, and God would have restored the world centering on that nation. As a result of Jesus’ death, that is, as a result of the loss of the substantial body, the foundation to connect spirit and flesh on the earth could bear fruit only spiritually.</p>
|
||||
<p>Until now Christians have been like a people without a country, so they have suffered death everywhere they have gone. Christianity grew through the blood of martyrs. Because of the manner in which Christianity was planted in the world, it could not grow except by the blood of martyrs. Now the time of shedding blood and receiving persecution is over. Instead of dying away and disappearing, however, there has appeared a way of thinking that yearns for God’s Kingdom and eagerly awaits the coming Lord in order to establish the lost substantial nation on the basis of Christianity’s spiritual foundation. This is the expectation of the Second Coming.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even Jesus is waiting in Paradise. We need to know that he has not yet gone before Heaven’s throne. Jesus needed to establish national sovereignty before God, rule over a nation, and build a nation that would possess the authority to go directly from earth to Heaven. Because he was not able to build such a nation, Jesus cannot stand before God. So Paradise became the “waiting room” on the way to Heaven. Heaven is a place where no one can enter alone. If the fall had not occurred, we would have gone to Heaven as blessed families, centering on Adam and Eve. We must go there along with our sons and daughters.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order to restore this through indemnity, God has been fighting for 2,000 years to build a foundation that can connect to the world. Where there is no national standard, though, who will inherit the foundation of the nation? To find such spiritual people and make the necessary preparations, God is working through a new religious movement centering on Christianity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected religious leaders: As humanity enters the third millennium, it is receiving heavenly fortune anew. I hope that all religious people will join their hearts together and follow through on my proposal to establish a council within the United Nations composed of representatives from various religions, parallel with the General Assembly. If there is one lofty task that the United Nations can perform for the sake of humankind, it would be to contribute to humanity’s spiritual recovery on the foundation of God’s true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>For this purpose, I have chosen leaders of good conscience from not only the religious field but also from government, philosophy, business, culture and other fields, and provided true love education that teaches “the life lived for the sake of others.” On this foundation, I have already appointed tens of thousands of Ambassadors for Peace. All around the world, they carry the banner of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace that I founded. They are devoting their full efforts to bringing about the world of peace that is the fervent desire of God and humankind. It will not be long before the will of the almighty, omniscient and absolute God is accomplished.</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to conclude my remarks by asking that the leaders assembled here also become active participants in recreating your families and nations in true love and in bringing about an everlasting world of peace where there are no national boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p>I pray that Heaven’s blessing may overflow in abundance upon you and your families.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

January 27, 2004</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected Current and Former Heads of State, Distinguished World Leaders, Ladies and Gentleman,</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to convey deep appreciation for your many expressions of congratulations on this occasion of the birthdays of my wife and mine. But this is not for us. I would like to offer all of this as glory to God who has protected us until today. Early in our lives we were called by God and have devoted our entire lives to fulfilling His will. Therefore I cannot accept your congratulations without including God in this celebration!</p>
|
||||
<p>For my address this evening, I would like to talk about “God’s Fatherland and the Peace Kingdom.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of world would have been realized if Adam and Eve, the first human ancestors, had not fallen? Adam would have become the head of that family, the tribal leader of that tribe, and the king of that nation. That world would have begun from that ideal of Adam, and would have become Adam’s world where only the tradition, language, culture, and lifestyle of Adam would have existed. That world would have been Adam’s fatherland as well as God’s fatherland.</p>
|
||||
<p>But unfortunately, human history began with the fall of the first human ancestors. Our world was reduced to being under the dominion of Satan, a world that had nothing to do with God. Humankind was originally meant to establish and live in a peace kingdom for eternity, with God as their True Parent. But instead, the human race became enslaved to Satan, the origin of evil, residing in a world ridden with sin and suffering. This has brought great anguish to God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please think about this in the context of your own life. Contrary to the will of the Creator, our minds and bodies are in constant struggle and conflict. Has there been anyone who has completely unified his or her mind and body? Among the six billion people of this world today, has there been anyone who has lived according to the original relationship, where the body is in complete submission to the mind? What about the societies and nations of today’s world? The barriers of conflict and selfishness rooted in the mind and body of the individual exist even between societies and nations like an impregnable fortress. Human beings were supposed to live as brothers and sisters, yet the interracial strife that we see today still remains as a crucial problem threatening world peace. Religions originally had the mission of reviving human spirituality, thereby accomplishing the will of God by bringing humankind back to Him. But religions have abandoned their original mission and instead are lost in the swamp of prejudice and conflict. This has escalated to the point where today, we see them being used as tools for bloodshed and war.</p>
|
||||
<p>Where does our original mind lead us? Does it indicate that we desire to live oppressed within the many walls and boundaries that surround us? It does not. The world that we desire is a place where no barriers or borderlines are seen. It is a world of freedom and peace. All people long for that kind of original fatherland. It is the fatherland that for thousands of years God has sought to establish. Likewise, it is the fatherland that humankind has longed for throughout history. Of course, when we talk about a “fatherland” it may denote a particular nation, but the original fatherland cannot be compared to any nation of the today’s secular world.</p>
|
||||
<p>To establish a nation there needs to be sovereignty, people and territory. When we look at history we can see the rise and fall of nations, the countless transitions of sovereignties and a great many lives sacrificed in the process. All these martyrs died in the hope that the original fatherland would someday appear. But that does not mean that the United States, or Korea, or any other nation can become the fatherland which these people have longed for. It would be a place where there is neither democracy nor communism. Such a fatherland would have no need for any religion. It is a world that does not commit the folly of trying to measure the value of a person by the color of his skin. It is a place that does not allow any form of boundary or national border, including the barriers that divide the mind and body within each individual, bringing pain to them all.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentleman, this very planet earth on which we live, the entire globe, is the very fatherland that humanity has longed for. It is the fatherland for which God has longed for tens of thousands of years. Humankind now has the responsibility to establish a global nation in line with God’s standard and to remove evil from this earth by rendering judgment upon Satan who has been the archenemy in front of heaven until now. In so doing, a heavenly kingdom of peace on earth, with goodness at its center, will be brought about. We must never forget that this has been the desire of God, the desire of Jesus, and the desire of our ancestors who have contributed to the course of God’s providence by going the path of martyrdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>But that kind of ideal world is not created automatically. It is not something that anyone can have by just wishing for it. It is impossible to attain unless we, the offspring of the fall, receive a new blood lineage through the Marriage Blessing and practice a life of true love. Then what is a life of true love? In a nutshell, it is “living for the sake of others.” It is living for the sake of others before you even wish for the other to do something for you. It is a life of living for the sake of the others and forgetting that you ever gave. It is not giving in hopes of receiving something in return. It is a life where you give and give, regretting nothing for not having given more. Even as you give, you bow your head in humility. Thus, Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” He also said that “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Even our almighty Creator, God, would not engage in creation and destruction at whim in disregard of the very principles of creation that He Himself set up.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, this is the reason why I have been conducting the Marriage Blessing providence throughout the past several decades. Humankind, who had inherited false life, false love and false lineage due to the fall of the first human ancestors, had no choice but to live this false kind of life. Thus my wife and I began our God-given mission as the True Parents. Throughout our lives we have walked a lonely path to carry out this heavenly decree to eliminate Satan, the devil, through the Marriage Blessing providence and, as the True Parents, to bequeath true life, true love, and the true lineage to humanity. We knew that God could not do anything about the false blood lineage because it had been planted by the false parents. Upon this victorious foundation of having fulfilled all the necessary indemnity conditions, my wife and I stand as the True Parents. We have been multiplying the true blood lineage by separating humanity from the blood lineage of the false olive tree and engrafting them to the true olive tree. A false olive tree will always remain as a false olive tree, even if a thousand years pass. Only by engrafting to the true olive tree can the lineage be changed.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, the bright age of heaven is upon us now. Please accept my message with hope. The Marriage Blessing history began with just three couples in the 1960s has now reached 400 million couples around the world. Furthermore, there are more than 120 billion blessed couples living in the spirit world. The field of the true olive tree has now overwhelmed the field of the wild olive trees. All these blessed families are united in the life of living for the sake of others. The life of the true olive trees, through the true blood lineage, is now spreading like wildfire throughout the entire world. In this way God’s Fatherland and Peace Kingdom, a nation of joy and happiness, a nation of freedom and equality with no walls or national borders will be realized on this earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>For this purpose I founded the Peace United Nations’ in New York, U.S.A. on October 3rd 2003. In doing God’s providence, this Peace United Nations is developing initiatives of a revolutionary dimension that will rock heaven and earth. By educating each and every one of the six billion people on this earth, and giving them the Marriage Blessing, we are building God’s fatherland, our fatherland, where the entire globe becomes our home, my home. Our goal is already set. The flag of the Peace United Nation is already waving high. The battle cry of victory is erupting across the world. Victories are won in America, Europe, Jerusalem, Palestine, Japan and Korea. Nothing is impossible with God and the numerous martyrs, patriots, saints and sages in spirit world running with us at our side.</p>
|
||||
<p>They say, “blessed are those who have faith.” On this meaningful day, I would like to ask you all to engrave this message in the deep center of your heart. I pray that you all join in the grace of the Marriage Blessing and create a great revolution of lineage. I dearly hope that you will all become the brave soldiers of heaven, courageously standing on the front line of God’s providence in order to build God’s fatherland on this earth, so that the Peace Kingdom can prosper for all eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Address on the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of the<br />
|
||||
Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity</h3>
|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">May 1, 2004<br />
|
||||
Seoul, Korea</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected present and former heads of state, distinguished guests from around the world, leaders of all fields of Korean society: I am sincerely grateful that such a large number of you have taken time from your busy schedules to attend today’s event.</p>
|
||||
<p>It seems like yesterday that on May 1, 1954, in a humble dwelling known as the “House of Three Gates” in Seoul’s <i>Buk-hak Dong</i>, I and a few disciples who were with me raised a signboard that read “Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity” and offered a most serious prayer to Heaven. Today, this has become the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, which continues its steady development and has mission headquarters in 191 countries. How could anyone say that this is anything other than a miracle of Heaven?</p>
|
||||
<p>I received God’s call when I was a vibrant youth of 16 years, and started out on this path of Heaven with unbending determination. It has been a path of indescribable pain and suffering. At each climax of indemnity, sacrifices were made that led to pools of blood, sweat and tears. It was the path of a lonely man. I swallowed desperate tears of blood and hid them within myself to comfort the heart of God, who was grieving over the tragic situation of the son He had sent forth.</p>
|
||||
<p>My life of over 80 years has been lived to teach the truth that I received from Heaven. As a way of summing up what I have taught, I would like to speak today on the topic of “God’s Homeland and the Peace Kingdom Are Built on the Foundation of the Realm of His Liberation and Release.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished guests, everything I have ever taught is permeated with one point above all else. That is that we must know God and spirit world with certainty. It is not enough to have God vaguely in our head, like a mathematical formula that we once memorized. Instead, we must carve His existence onto our hearts, even into our bones. We must know the relationship that God has with us, and the attributes He possesses. We must know about the ideal world that He desired in the beginning, and when that world will be brought about. We must have the same degree of knowledge of spirit world. The world after death definitely exists independent of human beings’ will, and we must know it accurately, if we are to use our time in this world to prepare thoroughly for the next.</p>

<p>Ladies and gentlemen, please quietly place your hand on your heart and think seriously. If everyone truly knew that God exists and always lived in attendance to Him, what would keep us from solving the problems in today’s world?</p>
|
||||
<p>I declare to you very bluntly today: God exists and He is our Parent. He lives and carries out His work within each person’s life. He exists without form. If you think of Him as large, He is infinitely large, but if you think of Him as small, he is also infinitely small. Every human being possesses a mind, but can anyone locate the mind with confidence and certainty?</p>
|
||||
<p>Energy clearly exists and sustains life, but energy is invisible. In the same way, God absolutely exists with attributes of eternality, changelessness and uniqueness, but He cannot be seen with the human eye, which is one part of the human physical body. Because God is the original body of energy, we will not be able to see Him even in spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is why we say that God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. Because He has no form, there is nothing to keep Him from going anywhere He pleases in the world of existence. He could pass right through your body without you feeling anything. He could step on you as He passes by while you doze off, and you would not know it. Think how convenient that is. What would you do if God were to appear and involve Himself in every little thing you do? If you had to live with God visible to your eyes, what would you do? Probably you would not last a day before having a nervous breakdown. You cannot see the incredible amount of air that is passing through your body even as you sit here. So how could you possibly know how God, who exists without form, passes through you as He carries on His work? Rather than foolishly saying, “Show me God and I’ll believe,” you should be grateful that God is invisible to our eyes.</p>
|
||||
<p>Leaders from around the world, do you have love? Do you have life? Do you have a lineage and a conscience? Then, have you ever seen love? Can you say that you have seen life, lineage or conscience? You clearly know these exist, but you must acknowledge that you cannot feel or see them. You only know them because you sense them with your mind. A similar logic applies to the question of whether God exists, or whether a person has or has not seen God. No one can say that they have not seen God or that He does not exist.</p>
|
||||
<p>When God enters into the mind, the mind knows it. When the omniscient and almighty God is with you, you can call for saints who died thousands of years ago to come to you and you can clearly see who is sitting on the other side of a thick wall. When the eternal God enters your heart, such things are possible. Eternity cannot be grasped in the context of time, but time exists within eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>The universe in which we live is wrapped in mystery. The size of the vast universe is as great as 21 billion light years across. If a light year is the distance light travels in a year at a speed so fast that it can go around the Earth seven and a half times in a second, then try to imagine what God, who created the universe and manages it, must be like. How large would He have to be, and how heavy? God is the great king of wisdom, so He made it so that He would exist without form, enabling Him to go anywhere in the universe instantaneously or enter even into the eye of a needle. When we search within for the best place to receive God, our greatest treasure, the natural conclusion is, “The heart is the only appropriate place.” No place can be safer or more comfortable for Him. The heart is able to stand in the position of God’s object partner and exist for eternity by engaging in spherical motion, and this is the reason that human beings can have eternal life.</p>
|
||||
<p>If humanity had not committed the fall but had been born through parents possessing an original nature of goodness, then it would not have been necessary to argue with each other about whether God exists. We would have known this naturally from the time we were born. Just as an infant does not learn how to suckle its mother’s breast while it is in the womb, but naturally learns how to do so as soon as it is born, so also people born into a world where the fall of the human ancestors had not occurred would have naturally attended God as their Father throughout their lives. When God created Adam and Eve as the first human ancestors, He wanted to establish them as substantiations of Himself. So He arranged for His masculine nature to be placed within the mind of Adam and His feminine nature to be placed within the mind of Eve and remain there for eternity. This did not mean that God would be divided in two. Instead, while residing in the minds of Adam and Eve, He would exist as a harmonized being of dual characteristics and as a unified being centering on love.</p>
|
||||
<p>As a result of the fall, humanity lost everything. We fell into a false world. We appear to have sight but in fact are blind, not even knowing whether God exists. What could be more tragic in the history of humankind?</p>
|
||||
<p>If Adam and Eve, created in the image of God, had grown to maturity without falling, achieved perfection, and acquired the position of the parents of humankind, all human beings would have been able to recognize the reality of God’s existence through Adam and Eve. It would have been impossible even to imagine people arguing with each other, saying, “God exists,” and “No, He doesn’t.” God would have lived with us and shared our emotions for eternity as the Parent of humankind. He would have been the center of our life and the root of our existence.</p>
|
||||
<p>We truly know God only when we feel Him in our heart and understand the reality of His existence in the course of daily life. We know God’s existence only through experience.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we understand the reality of God’s existence directly through experience in our daily life, we will be able to sense God’s will from moment to moment naturally. We will be able to act in accordance with His will without being told. We will become people who cannot sin even if we try. It was intended that the formless God would take on substantial form as human beings and exercise dominion with the character and appearance of an owner, not only over all of creation in this world, a world of form, but even over the sprit world. This is why our highest priority in life is to know God with certainty.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, let us think for a moment about human life. We spend our first lifetime in the womb of our mother. The ten months that we spend there as a fetus is a period of water-borne life, because we are bathed in the amniotic fluid. We cannot speak or move about freely, but this does not mean that our term in the womb is not life. During this period, we clearly possess a life given to us by Heaven, and it is a period for us to prepare for life on the earth, which is the next phase. The fact that we don’t breathe through our nose during this period doesn’t mean there is no life. The human being as a fetus in the womb cannot imagine what life will be like in the next phase, on the earth. It cannot imagine a world outside its mother’s womb. It cannot imagine not receiving all nourishment from its mother through the umbilical cord.</p>
|
||||
<p>Human beings, though, are created so that when the time comes we bring our life in the womb to a close and begin life on the earth. Irrespective of our wishes, this happens in accordance with the laws of the universe. A new, vast world that we could never have imagined appears before us. Our water-borne life ends, and our new life on earth begins. The ten months of life in the womb transitions into an earthly life of 100 years. Human beings then live in a wide variety of unique ways and prepare for the final phase of our existence, in the spirit world, that is, the world after death.</p>
|
||||
<p>A world that is eternal and endless awaits us, but human beings living in a physical body are no more capable of imagining the spirit world that we were of imagining life on Earth while we lived in the womb. Our lives of some 100 years on Earth will transfer into an eternal world that transcends time and space. In the womb, we received nourishment from our mother through the umbilical cord, and during our time on earth we receive the three basic elements, the universe’s water, air and light. Once we enter the spirit world, however, we will no longer have need of physical nourishment. We instead will breathe love as we live eternally. So human beings, without exception, live through three stages: ten months in the womb, 100 years on earth, and an eternity in the spirit world. This is not something that we do by our own choice. It is a blessing and grace given by Heaven. What could be a blessing and grace greater than this?</p>
|
||||
<p>So when I say you need to know the spirit world well, it is not enough to live with a vague faith in the existence of the spirit world. On Earth we must know how to prepare for life in the spirit world, where we will live eternally, and then prepare ourselves thoroughly. Just as a child that develops a problem while in the womb may spend his entire life after birth in poor health, so too if we fail to recognize Heaven’s will during our short life on Earth and commit sin or carry out evil deeds, we will eventually pay the price in the spirit world according to the principle of cause and effect. It means that our spirit self will have to suffer indescribable pain and indemnity in spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Once the physical body has been shed, it will be too late. When the physical body dies, it returns to the earth as a handful of dirt, but do you think that our life, our mind, our heart, and our hopes are also buried? It is absolutely not so. Our 100-year-long life is recorded, photographed and automatically evaluated without fail in our personal computer, built by God, called the spirit self. This is why all of us, during life on earth, will stop and check ourselves again and again, and ask our unsteady mind and heart: “Where are you going?” The saints, sages and spiritual masters are those who spent their entire lives wrestling with such issues. None of them, however, were able to present clear answers.</p>
|
||||
<p>It is true that their teachings have remained with us, allowing religions to be formed and sacred texts to be published, guiding the mass of people for their lives. It is also true, though, that humanity still lacks even the ability to have dominion over our own mind. I have toured the world hundreds of times to declare Heaven’s truth and educate people. No matter where I go in the world or what kind of audience I face, I always ask one question. I issue a challenge, saying, “If there is anyone here whose mind and body are not in conflict, please raise your hand.” So far no one anywhere has dared to raise a hand.</p>
|
||||
<p>What does this tell us? It means that human beings are still slaves to the fallen nature that we inherited from our first ancestors, Adam and Eve. We have not yet escaped that yoke. This is evidenced by the confessions of saints and sages who spent their lives in fasting and abstinence and consistently pursued paths of incredible suffering. Their confessions that they could not root out the desires of the flesh before they had to leave this world remain as pitiful cries to their disciples who still insist on following in their footsteps. Those who are counted among the saints and sages are now declaring with one voice that I, Sun Myung Moon, have brought for the first time from Heaven the truth of true love that they could not grasp, and that their followers and descendents on Earth should follow my teachings absolutely and practice them. People in spirit world who regret that they could not meet Rev. Moon while they were on earth and attend him as Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord, and True Parent during their lives here are sending a flood of messages. The resolutions that these people adopted in the spirit world now echo around the world. In the near future, all religious people will begin to receive revelations directly from the founders of their own religion, and there will be a great migration of people being guided to attend Rev. Moon as the True Parent. They will gather as the clouds to learn from Rev. Moon the truth of true love that enables them to unite their mind and body. They will learn the way of the true family, leading to their singing together the praises of eternal happiness as parents and children on Earth and in Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Communists of the world who insisted there is no God and passed away as sacrifices to materialism, intellectuals of the world who as journalists commanded an entire generation, and even dictators and emperors who brandished the sword of absolute power and sacrificed countless lives, have shed tears of repentance before me and begged for forgiveness through their messages and resolutions from spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Any among you who still cannot believe with certainty the reality of the spirit world may still not be sure whether to believe these messages. To you my advice is this: “You will see for yourself when you pass on to spirit world!” But once you go down that path you can never return, no matter how much you may strike the ground in lamentation. Once in the spirit world, a person cannot do anything on his own about the sins he committed while on earth. So your ancestors now are observing your life in tears, waiting for an opportunity to help you in a way that indemnifies their sins. I am telling you clearly that thousands, even tens of thousands, of your ancestors’ eyes are watching your every step and every action, sometimes with tears of heartbreak and other times with joy. Is there still anyone who cannot believe the reality of spirit world?</p>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished guests, once we come to know God with certainty and know not just the concept of the spirit world but also its reality, our life can move forward as smoothly as a car on an expressway. Just as the car will reach its destination safely if the driver follows the rules of the road, keeps his hands on the steering wheel and doesn’t fall asleep, so too we only need to live in line with the direction from our conscience, which is given by Heaven. This is where our mind and body become one and where the blossom of human perfection blooms and bears fruit. Going deep into the mountains will not perfect one’s character, and extensive reading of sacred texts and philosophy books that line library shelves will not unite the mind and body.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is the great King of wisdom. He did not place the path to perfection in some far off place. Instead, He placed it in the place that is nearest to us, the place that is most private and safe. He prepared and placed that path inside your conscience.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, your conscience is your master. It is your teacher. It stands in the place of your parents. Your conscience is the first to know everything about you. Your conscience knows all your thoughts. It knows before your teacher, before your parents and before even God knows. Think how much advice your conscience gives you over your lifetime. Day and night, every time you have an evil thought, it scolds you, saying, “Hey you!” It never grows tired as it works constantly to pull you over rivers and mountains. The conscience always stands as the true master, protecting you and trying to help you. Yet, how often have you gone against your own conscience? What should be done about your body, which has thoroughly mistreated this precious irreplaceable teacher that the universe bequeathed to you? Your conscience was given to represent the Parent who makes it possible for you to inherit the original love. Do you intend to idle your life away, embracing only your physical body and enslaved by its desires, allowing it mercilessly to trample the conscience?</p>
|
||||
<p>That is why I, too, as I began to pioneer the way of truth, set as my slogan, “Before seeking dominion over the universe, perfect dominion over yourself.” I discovered that there is only one way to resolve the conflict between mind and body, and that is “the way of true love.” Unity between mind and body can be achieved only when the mind sacrifices itself for the sake of the body time and again, thus practicing “true love that lives for the sake of others.”</p>
|
||||
<p>When you follow the path set out by your conscience, your mind will come to embrace the universe. When this happens, you will be able to communicate with your heart. Whenever you start to do something, your conscience will immediately show you the effects of that action. This experience proves that God resides within your heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>The person who attains this position will enter the state of being of one mind, one body and one thought with God. He or she will live in a world of one circle and one harmony. This is the ideal world, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth that God desired in the beginning when He created Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, it is now more than 80 years since I began my search for such incredible secrets of Heaven and began to walk the path to lead humanity. It has been the path of a lonely and pitiful man pushing my way through suffering and difficulties that are unprecedented in the past and unrepeatable in the future. It has been a path that has proven and taught the reality of an omnipresent God. Every one of the six billion people in the world are blind. Though they appear normal, they cannot see even an inch in front of themselves. But this has not kept people from pretending to be philosophers and theologians with respect to Heaven’s truth, bringing grief to God throughout history. The providence of restoration that sought to live for the sake of God and take pity on God never even had a chance to begin.</p>
|
||||
<p>I cannot count the days I spent in tears and lamentation after I came to know this world of God’s inner heart. Who could even dare to imagine the grief-stricken God? He has carried out His providence for thousands, even tens of thousands of years after the first human ancestors, whom He created as His children and tried to place in the eternal position of His object partners in true love, fell into the path of the human fall. God was sorrowful and mortified. Anger exploded within Him, and His heart overflowed with grief as He walked this course. He came as the Father and King of glory, but the enemy Satan stole His throne and His position as Parent. Though He was clearly alive and carrying out His providence, people said “He’s dead,” and they mocked and mistreated Him. Still, He persevered on the path with patient endurance, waiting for the day when human beings would themselves understand the truth. Please understand that it is because God conducts His providence on a foundation of true love, which lives for the sake of others, and on the basis of eternity, that He did not just annihilate the universe and begin again after witnessing His children descend into the bottomless pit of the human fall.</p>
|
||||
<p>With the power of His omniscience and omnipotence, He could have judged the world and Satan at once, smashing them to pieces. Though He has this power, He has chosen until now to absorb all the contempt and accusation into Himself. He has placed Himself in a prison-like environment, because He is our Father. Ladies and gentlemen, have you spent even one day before our Father God, shedding tears of sincere sympathy and repentance? Can you stand before God and close your eyes as if to block out how He bites His tongue and endures humankind that inherited the lineage of the devil and became the tool of Satan, and how He waits impatiently for the day of His liberation and release?</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the reason that my life has been more serious than any other in history. As I walked this fateful course of restoration through indemnity, I had to go the way of the perfection of character in order to stand as the Lord of judgment and determine the sin of the devil Satan and judge him. I had to send as many as four of my young children, whom I loved deeply, to the spirit world, and I have had to cast even my remaining children out into the wilderness.</p>
|
||||
<p>I stand before you as one who has received Heaven’s appointment as Savior and True Parent for the sake of liberating and releasing God and, on that foundation, liberating and releasing humankind. I do not come out of a need for money and power, or honor and fame. For more than 80 years, I have lived oblivious to morning or evening, day or night, even weathering the coldest winters and harshest snow and rain, in order to move as quickly as I could along the heavenly path. Even in the torture chamber, where my flesh was torn from my body and I was made to vomit blood, I never prayed for God to save me. Instead, my life has been that of a filial son, patriot, saint, and divine son of Heaven and Earth who sheds tears to comfort God’s heart as He weeps to look upon the tragic state of His children. I left my parents and homeland behind to follow the straight and narrow path to human salvation, that is, the path of true love that lives for the sake of others. My life of never compromising and never acting in a cowardly manner may seem incredibly pitiful and bleak from a worldly point of view.</p>
|
||||
<p>No torture or punishment could make me compromise from the heavenly path. Neither could six imprisonments stand in the way of the True Parent’s search for his children. As I sat in a cold prison cell and watched drops of water fall from an eave, I pledged to myself, “Just as those droplets will eventually bore a hole through a boulder, the day will certainly come when these hot tears that fall from my eyes will melt the heart of God frozen in grief and liberate and release Him.” That is how I have lived. It has been a sacrificial course of practicing a love that loves the enemy more than my own children and of offering everything to teach all six billion people in the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>In line with this, I went to America in the early 1970s, and announced, “I have come as a fire fighter to extinguish a fire and as a physician to cure a disease.” It is important that we understand that, more than 30 years later, humanity has entered a new age. Finally, heavenly fortune is settling on the planet Earth. The blood, sweat, and tears I have shed on the course of restoration through indemnity for the sake of human salvation are now beginning to bear fruit.</p>
|
||||
<p>In 2001, at the opening of the 21st century, I dedicated the “Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship,” offering to Him the day of His liberation and release. This marked the beginning of the opening of the age of God’s direct dominion. On that foundation, the “Coronation Ceremony of the King of World Peace” was held this year on March 23 in a Senate building of the United States Congress. World leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and members of the United States Congress gathered to crown me as the king of world peace. How can this possibly be a human work? Just as the French prophet Nostradamus prophesied, and as is clearly recorded in the Orient’s greatest book of prophesies, “Kyeok-Am-Yu-Rok,” Rev. Moon has come as the one who has received Heaven’s appointment and fulfilled the responsibilities of humanity’s True Parent and the king of peace. So now, leaders from all walks of life and from all over the world are surging forward in a giant wave to join the ranks of people working to build the Peace Kingdom on this earth. They are acknowledging that peace cannot be achieved without my help. This is true not only on the Korean peninsula, the only place in the world where the conflict between democracy and Communism still divides an innocent people and land, but also in the Middle East, which has become the most serious and bloody conflict threatening world peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>On April 10 this year, I declared the “release of the angelic world,” the “release of Cain and Abel,” and the “release of the Parents of Cheon-ju, Cheon-ji, Cheon-ji-in.” [Parents of the Cosmos, of Heaven and Earth, and of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.] By marking May 1 with the declaration, “God’s Homeland and the Peace Kingdom Are Built on the Foundation of the Realm of His Liberation and Release,” I am completing the spiritual conditions on many levels that are needed for God to exercise His authority of all-immanence, all-authority, all-power and all-transcendence. Together with God’s liberation and release, a world of freedom, peace, unity and happiness is spreading across this land. In this respect, there is a special meaning to today’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, which I established.</p>
|
||||
<p>Heavenly fortune is with each of you present here today. Though our time together is short, you can become people of the Kingdom of Heaven simply by living according to what I have taught you today. That is, first live in the certainty of God’s existence to the point that you can feel His presence against your skin. Second, be certain of the reality of the spirit world and use your life on Earth to prepare for your eternal life in the spirit world. Third, live in attendance to your conscience as you would your teacher, your God, or your parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>The flames of true love, now fanned by the spring breezes of the 21st century, are spreading like a wildfire across the Earth. Exchange marriages are becoming accepted among young people belonging to traditionally enemy countries as a matter of faith. Just as water, air and light will flow to fill even the smallest space, the movement of true love is flowing and covering the Earth. Young people of intellect who will inherit God’s love, God’s life and God’s lineage and settle the Peace Kingdom on the Earth are now waking from their sleep.</p>
|
||||
<p>Eminent world leaders, I hope that you, too, will join the ranks of the owners of Cheon Il Guk [the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth] who are to “establish His Kingdom and His righteousness,” and become a revolutionary army of true love, putting into practice the truth of true love that grows larger the more that it is given.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

|
||||
of the Kingdom of Peace<br />
|
||||
in Heaven and on Earth</h2>
|
||||
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon</h2>
|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">March 25 — April 3, 2006</h3>
|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Republic of Korea</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I address you as leaders from around the globe who do not hesitate to make extraordinary efforts for the realization of world peace and an ideal hometown encompassing heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you. You have come thousands of miles to Korea in the midst of your busy schedules to take part in this rally to establish a new political party, the Cheon Il Guk House for Peace and Unification. You are building the Universal Peace Federation, a model UN-type organization. And you represent the concerted efforts of all the world’s nations to establish the Cheon Il Guk, the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, as we begin the twenty-first century, we find ourselves at a truly historic turning point. We are at a point of decision. Can everlasting world peace take root, or are we doomed to repeat the twentieth century’s dark and oppressive history of war and conflict?</p>
|
||||
<p>The twentieth century was a period of ceaseless struggle, including wars for colonial dominion, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and the Cold War. Living through this era, I dedicated my life entirely to the accomplishment of the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. I have always prayed sincerely that the United Nations, founded after the Second World War, would be an institution of peace, and that it would uphold God’s will for the realization of eternal world peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>The United Nations has made important contributions for peace. Nevertheless, at its sixtieth anniversary last year there was a broad consensus, both inside and outside the organization, that the U.N. had yet to discover the way to fulfill its founding purposes. The number of member states approaches two hundred, but the offices of these states do little more than represent and even insist on their own interests. They seem inherently unable to resolve conflicts and achieve peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>For these reasons, I would like to once more declare today before all humanity the message I gave throughout the Universal Peace Federation inauguration tour, which was launched last year on September 12 in New York and took me to 120 nations around the world. It is entitled, “God’s Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The Universal Peace Federation’s mission is to renew the existing United Nations, a “Cain-type” UN, and provide a new level of leadership as an “Abel-type” UN. It will unite heaven and earth and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.</p>
|
||||
<p>This message should be engraved in the hearts of humankind. It is Heaven’s special blessing in this Age After the Coming of Heaven. It is also a warning to us that we should take to heart and put into action.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Ideal Family</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected world leaders, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? Simply put, it is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? First, each person in the family is an owner of true love. When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. The quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love was to secure a parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance to God as their Father. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God.</p>
|
||||
<p>I invite you to enter into a mystical state and prayerfully ask God, “What is the center of the universe?” The answer you hear will undoubtedly be, “the parent-child relationship.” Nothing is more important or more precious than the relationship between parent and child. This is because it defines the fundamental relationship between the Creator God and human beings.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then, what defines the parent-child relationship? Three things: love, life and lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>The first is love. We can love with true love because God, our True Parent, first loved us with true love. God created human beings out of His absolute love, to be His partners in love. This relationship forms an axis of love, linking God the Father with human beings as His sons and daughters.</p>
|
||||
<p>Is there anything higher or more precious than to be a son or daughter of God? If anything were higher, then surely human beings would aspire to attain it. But there is nothing higher. Do you think that when the omniscient and omnipotent God created Adam and Eve, He secretly reserved the highest position for Himself and made Adam and Eve to be only second best? We cannot imagine that God would do that to His children, to His partners who share absolute love with Him.</p>
|
||||
<p>As our eternal True Parent, God invested Himself 100 percent into the creation of human beings and endowed us with the right to have equal status with Him, to participate in His work as equals, to live with Him, and to inherit from Him. God bestowed upon human beings all of His attributes.</p>
|
||||
<p>Though God is the Absolute Being, He cannot be happy alone. Adjectives such as “good” and “happy” cannot apply to any being that lives in isolation. They apply only where there is a robust mutual relationship. Imagine a professional singer who finds herself exiled to an uninhabited island. She may sing at the top of her voice, but with no one to listen, will it bring her happiness? In the same way, even the self-existent God absolutely needs a partner to share love with in order to experience joy and be happy.</p>
|
||||
<p>Next is life. How shall we live to become God’s partner and return joy to Him? In other words, how shall we live to become children of God, people whom God delights to call “My son,” or “My daughter,” because He sees in us a divinity equal to His? How can we become God’s partners in completing the work of creation, partners who will inherit the entire creation? I answer: We should emulate the ideal that God’set up at the beginning of His creative acts. In the beginning of creation, God acted upon the principle of living for the sake of others. In other words, everything that He did was for the sake of His creations, whom He hoped would develop into His partners of true love. The practice of true love is the nucleus of God’s creative activity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, to become God’s children, our first responsibility is to resemble Him. We need to embody true love. The way to embody true love begins by living as a filial child, then a patriot, a saint, and finally a divine son and daughter of God. At that stage we can experience the innermost emotions of God’s heart and resolve the grief that He has experienced for tens of thousands of years ever since the fall of Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is almighty. It was not due to any shortcoming or lack of ability that He has been imprisoned in great pain and has endured immense suffering behind the scenes of history. Rather, there are provisions in the Principle of Restoration, which He was not free to disclose, that called Him to wait with forbearance until Adam and Eve’s positions, lost at the human fall, were recovered with the appearance of the perfected “Second Adam”. Although God is all-powerful, He will not set aside the eternal laws and principles that He Himself established.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Importance of Lineage</h3>
|
||||
<p>Do you know what has pained God’s heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. And with the loss of His lineage, He lost His right of ownership.</p>
|
||||
<p>Let me talk about lineage for a moment. Lineage is more important than life and more important than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three qualities that define the parent-child relationship, love, life and lineage, lineage is the fruit.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life. Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough.</p>
|
||||
<p>Without lineage, neither life nor love can endure. You strive to set a good tradition, but it will endure only through your lineage. Lineage is the bridge allowing the parents. spirit to carry on through subsequent generations. In other words, lineage is the first and final condition necessary for parents to harvest the fruits of their love, the fruits of their life and the fruits of their joy. We need to know this with certainty.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yet when Adam and Eve fell, this lineage, more precious than life, was lost. The fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven. From them descended the six billion people now covering the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>God intended for the seeds He planted in the springtime of the Garden of Eden to grow into a bountiful crop that He could harvest in the autumn. The ideal of God’s creation was to raise Adam and Eve, His son and daughter, to the point where they would blossom in true love, flourish with true life, and bear fruit in a true lineage. God desired to harvest owners and families of eternal life, eternal love and eternal lineage, and to harvest His kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world as their homeland.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Suffering in Search of the True Parents</h3>
|
||||
<p>Instead, false love, false life and false lineage infested the earth. God’s love, life and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this.</p>
|
||||
<p>People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth about humanity descended from the fall. That is why we refer to this world as hell on earth. God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.</p>
|
||||
<p>After creating Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God intended to wed them with His Holy Blessing and bequeath to them Heaven’s right of ownership. God wanted Adam and Eve to inherit from Him the ownership of the entire universe.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because of the fall, however, all this came under Satan’s control. God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything in one night.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan. There was only one way to recover this lineage and ownership. This was the path to win the natural subjugation of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It is only by the power of true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.</p>
|
||||
<p>Was there ever a time when God could rejoice with human beings as their True Father and True Mother, enjoying the natural bonds of parent and child? Has God enjoyed even a year of comfort with His children, knowing that what He created was good? The answer is no; God has not enjoyed it even for one hour. And has anyone been able to comfort God in this pain? No, because no one has known the reason for the unbridgeable gap that has separated God from humankind for tens of thousands of years. No one has known why God and humanity are in such a tragic circumstance.</p>
|
||||
<p>The biblical account of Cain and Abel reveals the beginnings of human conflict right in Adam’s family. It provides the archetype for humankind’s unending history of struggle, war and conflict. We are conflicted on many levels, beginning with the war between body and mind within each individual and extending to wars between nations and even to the global conflict between materialism and theism.</p>
|
||||
<p>Extreme selfish individualism threatens our prosperity even today. We deem young people to be the hope of humanity holding the promise for the future, but drugs and free sex enslave them. Advanced countries seem to believe that material goods are all that matter. They recognize only their own interests while ignoring the misery of tens of thousands who die of starvation every day.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who can untie this ancient knot of Cain and Abel? It has been tightened for thousands of years and grows ever more tangled. Do you think the United Nations can do it? The U.N. at its founding proclaimed a movement for world peace, and for sixty years it has dedicated itself to this task; yet world peace still remains far distant. Peace among nations can never come when those entrusted with the task have not resolved the Cain-Abel relationship between their own mind and body. Therefore, the time has come to launch the Abel-type sovereignty for the peaceful, ideal world that will set its course according to God’s will.</p>
|
||||
<p>God eagerly anticipated that someone would appear and resolve these tragedies, but no such person appeared on earth. God waited and waited, looking for anyone who would take on the role of the True Parent. If someone had come forward, I am certain that God would have appeared in his dreams, carried the sun and moon to him, and showered him with lightning of joy and thunder of ecstasy from the heavens.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this sense, it is a miracle of miracles that for the first time in history a man has succeeded in attaining the position of Adam. He has secured the status of the owner of true love and received God’s anointing as the True Parent of humanity. It is an amazing fact that his lifetime coincides with yours, and that you and he breathe the same air. He is the horizontal True Parent, who comes to rescue fallen humanity. I, Reverend Moon, gained victory in that position. And on that foundation, on January 13, 2001, I dedicated to Heaven the “Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship.” By that ceremony I liberated and released God, the vertical True Parent who has taken responsibility for the Providence of Restoration. In all of history, this was the highest and greatest blessing humanity has ever received. This victory was absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. Through this absolute providential victory, God’s body and mind are completely liberated!</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Way to Peace Through the Holy Blessing Ceremony</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders! Our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forth to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive trees? A wild olive tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle? It is through the Holy Blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Holy Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive tree. It was instituted by the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will belong to God’s lineage naturally. The Holy Blessing is received in three stages: resurrection, rebirth and eternal life. Once you receive the True Parents’ Holy Blessing, you can give birth to pure, sinless offspring and build an ideal family.</p>
|
||||
<p>The best way to receive the Holy Blessing is with someone from another race, nationality or religion. I call this an “exchange marriage”. This contributes to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity and religion and creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the Devil’s tricks. He has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens of thousands of years.</p>
|
||||
<p>Imagine two enemy families who have cursed each other throughout their lives, people who would never dream of living together. What would happen if these families joined together through an exchange Holy Marriage Blessing? A son from one family and a daughter from the other family become husband and wife, love each other and build a happy home. Would the parents in each family curse their own children? When their son loves this beautiful daughter of a hated enemy, and she as their daughter-in-law gives birth to Heaven’s grandchildren as pure and clear as crystal, the grandparents would smile with pleasure. In time the two lineages that were once soaked with enmity will be transformed.</p>
|
||||
<p>What method other than exchange marriage will empower Whites and Blacks, Jews and Muslims, Orientals and Westerners, and people of all races to live as one human family? The ideal family is the model for living together in peace. The ideal family is the nest where we live and learn to become one. There we have the foundation of love and respect between parents and children, shared trust and love between husband and wife, and mutual support among siblings. For this fundamental reason, you should receive the Holy Marriage Blessing from the True Parents and establish Heaven’s tradition of ideal families, even if it means risking your very life.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Life of True Love</h3>
|
||||
<p>Let me reiterate: To resemble God, the original Being of true love, we should become the owners of true love. We should embody true love and practice it in order to develop our character. This is the way each of us can become true parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is a life of true love? True love is the spirit of public service. It brings the peace that is at the root of happiness. Selfish love is a mask for the desire to have one’s partner exist for one’s own sake; true love is free of that corruption. Rather, its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, as with a filial son who gains his greatest satisfaction in helping his parents. God created the universe out of just such love: absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, investing everything without any expectation or condition of receiving something in return.</p>
|
||||
<p>True love is the wellspring of the universe. Once we possess it, true love makes us the centers and the owners of the universe. True love is the root of God and a symbol of His will and power. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually increasing in the joy of each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissipate the barriers fallen human beings created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.</p>
|
||||
<p>The main attributes of true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, so whoever practices God’s true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute prerequisite for entering the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, you are now living in the age when all marriages can receive God’s Blessing. God’s promises are coming to fruition. The Kingdom of Heaven on earth, God’s ideal of creation, is being established before your eyes.</p>
|
||||
<p>I dedicated my life of more than eighty years solely for Heaven. It has been a lonely path, stained with blood, sweat, and tears. Yet now it is bearing victorious fruit for the sake of the world’s six billion people. From the spirit world, the Founders of the world’s religions, tens of thousands of saints and your own good ancestors are watching your every move. Whoever, therefore, strays from the heavenly path will be punished accordingly.</p>
|
||||
<p>In more than 180 countries, Ambassadors for Peace who have inherited Heaven’s will and tradition are making serious effort, day and night, to proclaim the values of true love and true family. They are moving forward with full force to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world on this earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my Unification Thought played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the reunification of my homeland of Korea.</p>
|
||||
<p>But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Ambassadors for Peace are Heaven’s Secret Envoys</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected Ambassadors for Peace: I believe you have learned many things through this message from God. You represent Heaven, and as long as humanity continues to drift aimlessly, it needs your help. Please take this opportunity to make a new determination to be Heaven’s envoys, prepared to uphold Heaven’s command. With this in mind, I would like to summarize today’s message so that we can all take up Heaven’s mission and inscribe it deep within our hearts.</p>
|
||||
<p>What did I say we lost by the fall of Adam and Eve, who were created as God’s children?</p>
|
||||
<p>First, we lost the realm of the lineage given to us by God. Lineage is the most special among all gifts parents bequeath to their children. By the fall, Adam and Eve inherited the false lineage of Satan and descended to the status of his children. We must understand with certainty that all human beings today, without exception, are descendents of the fall and have inherited the lineage of Satan.</p>
|
||||
<p>When God created Adam and Eve, He invested His entire being, 100%. He created them based on the standard of absolute love, absolute faith, and absolute obedience. He gave them His lineage as the seed for their love and life. Likewise, from this moment, God is re-creating you as new people. The path is open wide for you to change your lineage through the Holy Wine Ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. The Blessing is yours, either as newlywed couples or as already married couples, that you may establish true families.</p>
|
||||
<p>Second, the fall caused the loss of the realm of sibling love, when in the family of Adam the older brother Cain killed his younger brother Abel. God’s original family structure was full of blessings, including love and harmony among siblings. The fall degraded the sibling relationship to a rivalry filled with envy and resentment.</p>
|
||||
<p>To restore this problem in the lineage, I am leading humanity worldwide to join in exchange marriages. These marriages restore the original family structure, when those who are “Abel,“ relatively closer to Heaven’s side, take on the subject role and the position of the older brother.</p>

<p>Ladies and gentlemen, because I spent my life discovering and disclosing these secrets of Satan, it was inevitable that I would face persecution. At times the suffering was so intense as to be indescribable in words. Now, however, I am victorious over all obstacles. I can therefore declare the Age After the Coming of Heaven, the age when the power of Heaven becomes manifest.</p>
|
||||
<p>On this foundation, I am building a worldwide Abel-realm that brings together religions and nations representing seventy percent of the current world population. To create a corresponding worldwide Cain-realm, I am bringing together all those born with the Mongolian birth mark, which includes some seventy-four percent of the world’s population.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now these two, the worldwide Abel realm and the worldwide Cain realm, must become one and unite with the Universal Peace Federation, which has been initiated as the Abel sovereignty. To establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, we must transcend religious affiliation and nationality and remove all national boundaries and other barriers. I would like to reiterate that this is the only way humankind will be able to achieve the original ideal of creation. It is our destiny to fulfill this responsibility. By doing so, we will establish the original right of ownership lost by the fall of Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<p>As you form this new Abel realm, please remember that now you are charged with digesting the Cain realm throughout heaven and earth. By doing so, you will create the conditions to establish the New Heaven and New Earth, the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, with God’s complete authority.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Project for Peace</h3>
|
||||
<p>Leaders from around the world, let me take the opportunity provided by today’s distinguished forum to reiterate the proposal I made for a truly providential and revolutionary project. For the sake of peace and human welfare, and also for building God’s fatherland and original hometown, I propose that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait, that remnant of Satan’s historical division between east and west, and north and south, and where the North American and Russian land-masses are separated.</p>
|
||||
<p>This passage, which I call the “World Peace King Bridge and Tunnel,” will link an International Highway System that will allow people to travel on land from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the manmade walls of race, culture, religion and country, and establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world that has been God’s cherished desire.</p>
|
||||
<p>The United States and Russia can become as one. The European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil and all nations, and also the world’s religions, can combine their energies to succeed in this project. The success of this project will be decisive in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where people will no longer make war with each other.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, some may doubt that such a project can be completed. But where there is a will, there is always a way — especially if it is the will of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>The science and technology of the twenty-first century render it possible to construct a tunnel under the Bering Strait. The construction costs are also not a problem. Think of how much money the world is wasting on war. Humanity needs to realize that we are committing fearful sins in the presence of history and our descendants.</p>
|
||||
<p>Let us take one example. How much money has the United States spent on the war in Iraq during the past three years? It is approaching $200 billion. That budget would be more than enough to complete the Bering Strait project.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this age, war is a most primitive and destructive means of resolving conflict, and will never lead to lasting peace. Now is the time, as the prophet Isaiah taught, to beat our swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks. Humankind should end the perverse cycle of war, which only sacrifices our children’s lives and squanders astronomical sums of money. The time has come for the countries of the world to pool their resources and advance toward the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world desired by God, the Master of this great universe.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, humanity is traveling down a dead-end street. The only way to survive is to practice my teaching: the peace philosophy of true love, true life and true lineage. Now that we have entered the Age After the Coming of Heaven, your good ancestors are activated and the heavenly hosts are sweeping down upon the earth. Soon the countries and peoples that appear strong and mighty will change course and shift in this direction.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Our Mission</h3>
|
||||
<p>I leave you with a choice. There can be no perfection in ignorance. The message from Heaven that I convey to you today is both a blessing and a warning to this generation. I will take the lead in establishing true families, true societies, true nations and a true kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. Will you join me as I rise and gain strength in accordance with heavenly fortune? Or will you remain captive behind the same old walls, all of them Satan’s handiwork: the wall of your religion, the wall of your culture, the wall of your nationality and the wall of your race, and spend the remainder of your time on earth in agony and regret? Heaven is summoning you to be the wise leaders who will set aright this world of evil and establish a new heaven and new earth, a new culture and an ideal kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Universal Peace Federation, which was born through the concerted efforts of those here, represents God’s victory, the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat and tears, and the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an Abel-type counterpart to the existing United Nations, a new sovereignty for building a realm of universal peace known as Cheon Il Guk. Please bear in mind that you are given the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial homeland, which is nothing less than the ideal which God intended at the time of the Creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Think of the peacekeeping work of the United Nations. Sometimes it withdrew its forces before the mission was completed. The Korean War was one such example. For this reason, on October 20 in Ukraine, during the world tour of 120 nations inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation, I declared before the world the establishment of the “peace kingdom police force” and the “peace kingdom corps” for the welfare and future of humanity.</p>
|
||||
<p>These two organizations will safeguard order and peace in the new world. Humanity is still ensnared in the traps of division and self-interest, which are remnants of the Age Before the Coming of Heaven. These two organizations will be the vanguard for educating humanity in true love in the Age After the Coming of Heaven. The purpose of this education will be to create the true individual, true family, true nation, true world and true universe.</p>
|
||||
<p>I hope that you will put on new “true love armor” in this new age and be wise and brave activists in the universal peace kingdom corps, for the sake of humanity’s future.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please inscribe this warning from Heaven deep in your hearts. Remember that the only way to inherit Heaven’s lineage and establish the realm of liberation and complete release is through the Holy Marriage Blessing instituted by the True Parents. Furthermore, the Holy Marriage Blessing provides the means to establish God’s ideal family and the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.</p>
|
||||
<p>I ask you to devote your best efforts, as the True Parents have, for the development and success of the Universal Peace Federation, and toward creating God’s ideal family, ideal nation and the peace kingdom. Please become true princes and princesses who can attend and live together with God, the eternal Peace King and True Parent of humanity. Let us live up to the standard of a true filial child, patriot, saint, and member of the family of God, and create the eternal kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world.</p>
|
||||
<p>May God’s blessings be with you, your families and your nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Keynote Address</h3>
|

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Reverend Dr. Sun Myung Moon</h2>
|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">September 12, 2005 – Lincoln Center, New York, New York</h3>
|
||||
<p>Good evening.</p>
|
||||
<p>I address you as leaders from around the globe who do not hesitate to make extraordinary efforts for the realization of world peace. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your being present here tonight in spite of your very busy schedules.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, as we begin the 21st century, we find ourselves at a truly historic turning point. We are at a point of decision. Can everlasting world peace take root, or are we doomed to repeat the 20th century’s dark and oppressive history of war and conflict?</p>
|
||||
<p>The 20th century was a period of ceaseless struggle, including wars for colonial dominion, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and the Cold War. Living through this era, I dedicated my life entirely to the accomplishment of God’s ideal of peace. I have always prayed sincerely that the United Nations, founded after the Second World War, would be an institution of peace, and that it would uphold God’s will for the realization of eternal world peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>The United Nations has made important contributions for peace. Nevertheless, at its 60th anniversary there is a broad consensus, both inside and outside the organization, that the U.N. has yet to discover the way to fulfill its founding purposes.</p>
|
||||
<p>The number of member states approaches 200, but the offices of these states do little more than represent and even insist on their own interests. They seem inherently unable to resolve conflicts and achieve peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>For these reasons, I declare today before all humanity the founding of a new international organization, the Universal Peace Federation. Its mission is to renew the existing United Nations and provide a new level of leadership as an “Abel-type” United Nations, that is, a United Nations whose efforts for peace are offered to Heaven, investing itself ceaselessly in living for the sake of others. To commemorate this day in its fullness, I am declaring a message from God to humanity in this age. It is entitled, “God’s Ideal Familythe Model for World Peace.”</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Ideal Family</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected world leaders, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? Simply put, it is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? First, each person in the family is an owner of true love. When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men, and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. The quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love was to secure a parent-child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance to God as their Father. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God.</p>
|
||||
<p>I invite you to enter into a mystical state and prayerfully ask God, “What is the center of the universe?” I am sure that the answer you hear will be “the parent-child relationship.” Nothing is more important or more precious than the relationship between parent and child. This is because it defines the fundamental relationship between the Creator God and human beings.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then, what defines the parent-child relationship? Three things define this relationship: love, life and lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Without our parents’ love as a precondition, none of us would be alive today. God created human beings out of His absolute love, to be His partners in love. This relationship forms an axis of love, linking God the Father with human beings as His sons and daughters.</p>
|
||||
<p>Is there anything higher or more precious than to be a son or daughter of God? If anything were higher, then surely human desire would aspire to attain it. But there is nothing higher. Do you think that when the omniscient and almighty God created Adam and Eve, He secretly reserved the highest position for Himself and made Adam and Eve to be only second best? We cannot imagine that God would do that to His children, to His partners who share absolute love with Him. As our eternal True Parent, God invested Himself 100 percent into the creation of human beings and endowed us with the right to have equal status with Him, to participate in His work as equals, to live with Him, and to inherit from Him. God bestowed upon human beings all of His attributes.</p>
|
||||
<p>Though God is the Absolute Being, He cannot be happy alone. Adjectives such as “good” and “happy” cannot apply to any being that lives in isolation. They apply only where there is a robust reciprocal relationship. Imagine a professional singer who finds herself exiled to an uninhabited island. She may sing at the top of her voice, but with no one to listen, will it bring her happiness? In the same way, even the self-existent God absolutely needs a reciprocal partner of love in order to experience joy and be happy.</p>
|
||||
<p>Next, how shall we live to become God’s reciprocal partners and return joy to Him? In other words, how shall we live to become children of God, people whom God delights to call “My son,” or “My daughter,” people who embody a divinity equal to His? How can we become God’s partners in completing the work of creation, partners who will inherit the entire creation? I answer: We should emulate the ideal beginning point of God’s creative process. In the beginning of creation, God set up the principle of “living for the sake of others.” God set the practice of true love as the nucleus, and from that point He began to create.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, to become God’s children, our first responsibility is to resemble Him. We need to embody true love. The way to embody true love begins by living as a filial child, then a patriot, a saint, and finally a divine son and daughter of God. At that stage we can experience the innermost emotions of God’s heart and resolve the grief that He has experienced for tens of thousands of years ever since the fall of Adam and Eve. God is almighty. It was not due to His shortcoming or lack of ability that He has been imprisoned in great pain and has endured immense suffering behind the scenes of history. It was because there are provisions in the Principle of Restoration, which He was not free to disclose, that called Him to wait with forbearance until Adam and Eve’s positions, lost at the human fall, were recovered with the appearance of the perfected “Second Adam.” Although God is all-powerful, He will not set aside the eternal laws and principles that He Himself established.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Importance of Lineage</h3>
|
||||
<p>Do you know what has pained God’s heart, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. And with the loss of His lineage, He lost His right of ownership. Let me talk about lineage for a moment. Lineage is more important than life and more important than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three qualities that define the parent-child relationship, love, life and lineage, lineage is the fruit.</p>
|
||||
<p>The seed of true love is embedded in God’s lineage. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life. Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. Only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to establish world peace. Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough.</p>
|
||||
<p>Without lineage, neither life nor love can endure. You strive to set a good tradition, but it will endure only through your lineage. Lineage is the bridge allowing the parents’ spirit to carry on through subsequent generations. In other words, lineage is the first and final condition necessary for parents to harvest the fruits of their love, the fruits of their life and the fruits of their joy. We need to know this with certainty.</p>
|
||||
<p>God intended for the seeds He planted to grow into a bountiful crop to be harvested in the autumn in the Garden of Eden. The ideal of God’s creation was that He would raise Adam and Eve, His son and daughter, to the point where they would blossom in true love, give bloom to true life, and bear fruit in a true lineage. God desired to harvest the owners, families and nation of eternal life, eternal love and eternal lineage. Yet when Adam and Eve fell, this lineage, more precious than life itself, was lost. The fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven. From them descended the six billion people now covering the earth.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Suffering in Search of the True Parents</h3>
|
||||
<p>False love, false life and false lineage infested the earth. God’s love, life and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this. People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth about humanity descended from the fall. That is why we refer to this world as hell on earth. God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.</p>
|
||||
<p>After creating Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God intended to wed them with His Holy Blessing and bequeath to them Heaven’s right of ownership. God wanted Adam and Eve to inherit from Him the ownership of the entire universe. Because of the fall, however, all this fell under Satan’s control. God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything in one night.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan. There was only one way to recover this lineage and ownership. This was the path to win the natural subjugation of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It is only by the power of true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.</p>
|
||||
<p>Was there ever a time when God, as their True Father and True Mother, could rejoice with human beings, enjoying the natural bonds of parent and child? Has God enjoyed even a year of comfort with His children, knowing that what He created was good? The answer is no; God has not enjoyed this even for one hour. And has anyone been able to comfort God in this pain? No, because no one has known the reason for this unbridgeable gap between God and humankind. No one has known why God and humanity are in such a tragic circumstance.</p>
|
||||
<p>The biblical account of Cain and Abel reveals the beginnings of human conflict right in Adam’s family. It provides the archetype for humankind’s unending history of struggle, war and conflict. We are conflicted on many levels, beginning with the war between body and mind within each individual and extending to wars between nations and even to the global conflict between materialism and theism. Extreme selfish individualism threatens our prosperity even today. We deem young people to be the hope of humanity holding the promise for the future, but drugs and free sex enslave them. Advanced countries seem to believe that material goods are all that matter. They recognize only their own interests while ignoring the misery of tens of thousands who die of starvation every day.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who can untie this ancient knot of Cain and Abel? It has been tightened for thousands of years and grows ever more tangled. Do you think the United Nations can do it? The U.N. at its founding proclaimed a movement for world peace, and for sixty years it has dedicated itself to this task; yet world peace still remains far distant. Peace among nations can never come when those entrusted with the task have not resolved the Cain-Abel relationship between their own mind and body. Therefore, the time has come to launch an Abel-type United Nations that will set its course according to God’s will.</p>
|
||||
<p>God eagerly anticipated that someone would come and resolve these tragedies, but no such person appeared on earth. God waited and waited, looking for anyone who would take on the role of the True Parent. If someone had come forward, I am certain that God would have appeared in his dreams, carried the sun and moon to him, and showered forth lightning of joy and thunder of ecstasy from the heavens.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this sense, it is a miracle of miracles that for the first time in history a man has succeeded in establishing the position of Adam, securing the position of the owner of true love, and received God’s anointing as the True Parent of humanity. It is an amazing fact that his lifetime coincides with yours, and that you and he breathe the same air. I gained victory in the position of the horizontal True Parent, who comes to rescue fallen humanity. On that foundation, on January 13, 2001, I dedicated to Heaven the “Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship.” By that ceremony I liberated and released God, the vertical True Parent who has taken responsibility for the Providence of Restoration. In all of history, this was the highest and greatest blessing humanity has ever received. This victory was absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. Through this absolute providential victory, God’s body and mind are completely liberated!</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Way to Peace Through the Holy Blessing Ceremony</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders! Our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forth to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive trees? A wild olive tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle? It is through the Holy Blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Holy Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive tree. It was inaugurated through the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will belong to God’s lineage naturally. The Holy Blessing is received in three stages: resurrection, rebirth and eternal life. Once you receive the True Parents’ Holy Blessing, you can give birth to pure, sinless offspring and build an ideal family.</p>
|
||||
<p>The best way to receive the Holy Blessing is with someone from another race, nationality or religion. I call this an “exchange marriage.” This contributes to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, ethnicity and religion and creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the Devil’s tricks. He has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens of thousands of years.</p>
|
||||
<p>Imagine two enemy families who have cursed each other throughout their lives, people who would never dream of living together. What would happen if these families joined together through an exchange Holy Marriage Blessing? Would the parents of two such families curse their son and daughter who became husband and wife, loved each other and built a happy home? If their son were to love this beautiful daughter of a hated enemy, and she were to become their daughter-in-law and give birth to Heaven’s grandchildren as pure and clear as crystal, the grandparents would smile with pleasure. In time the lineages once soaked with enmity would be transformed.</p>
|
||||
<p>What method other than exchange marriage will empower Whites and Blacks, Jews and Muslims, Orientals and Westerners, and people of all races to live as one human family? The ideal family is the model for living together in peace. The ideal family is the nest where we live and learn to become one. There we have the foundation of love and respect between parents and children, shared trust and love between husband and wife, and mutual support among siblings. For this fundamental reason, you should receive the Holy Marriage Blessing from the True Parents and establish Heaven’s tradition of ideal families.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Life of True Love</h3>
|
||||
<p>Let me reiterate: To resemble God, the original Being of true love, we should become the owners of true love. We should embody true love and practice it in order to develop our character. This is the way each of us can become true parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then, what is a life of true love? True love is the spirit of public service. It brings the peace that is at the root of happiness. Selfish love is a mask for the desire to have one’s partner exist for one’s own sake; true love is free of that corruption. Rather, its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, as with a filial son who gains his greatest satisfaction in helping his parents. God created the universe out of just such love: absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, investing everything without any expectation or condition of receiving something in return.</p>
|
||||
<p>True love is the wellspring of the universe. Once a person possesses it, true love makes him or her the center and the owner of the universe. True love is the root of God and a symbol of His will and power. When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually increasing in the joy of each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissipate the barriers fallen human beings created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.</p>
|
||||
<p>The main attributes of true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, so whoever practices God’s true love will live with God, share His happiness and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute prerequisite for entering the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, you are now living in an age of blessing. God’s promises are coming to fruition. The Kingdom of Heaven on earth, the Kingdom of Peace that is God’s ideal of creation, is being established before your eyes. My life of more than eighty years, this lonely path trod solely for Heaven and stained with blood, sweat, and tears, is now bearing victorious fruit for the sake of the world’s six billion people. From the spirit world, the Founders of the world’s religions, tens of thousands of saints and your own good ancestors are watching your every movement. Whoever, therefore, strays from the heavenly path will be punished accordingly.</p>
|
||||
<p>In more than 180 countries, Ambassadors for Peace who have inherited Heaven’s will and tradition are making serious effort, day and night, to proclaim the values of true love and true family. They are moving forward with full force to establish peace on this earth. In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my Unification Thought played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the unification of my homeland of Korea.</p>
|
||||
<p>But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth and to establish the world of peace, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Project for Peace</h3>
|
||||
<p>Leaders from around the world, let me take the opportunity provided by today’s distinguished forum to reiterate my proposal for a truly providential and revolutionary project. For the sake of peace and human welfare, I propose that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait, where Satan has historically divided east and west, and north and south, and where the North American and Russian land masses are separated. This passage, which I call the “World Peace King Bridge Tunnel,” will link an International Highway System that will allow people to travel on land from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is warning that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the manmade walls of race, culture, religion and country, and establish the world of peace that has been God’s cherished desire.</p>
|
||||
<p>The United States and Russia can become as one. The European continent, China, India, Japan, Brazil and all nations, and also all the world’s religions, can combine their energies to succeed in this project. The success of this project will be decisive in establishing a Peace Kingdom where people will no longer make war with each other.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, some may doubt that such a project can be completed. But where there is a will, there is always a wayespecially if it is the will of God. The science and technology of the 21st century render it possible to construct a tunnel under the Bering Strait. The construction costs are also not a problem. Think of how much money the world is wasting on war. Humanity needs to realize that we are committing fearful sins in the presence of history and our descendants. Let us take one example. How much money has the United States spent on the war in Iraq during the past three years? It is approaching $200 billion. That budget would be more than enough to complete the Bering Strait project.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this age, war is a most primitive and destructive means of resolving conflict, and will never lead to lasting peace. Now is the time, as the prophet Isaiah taught, to beat our swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks. Why must we continue this tragic path, pouring countless dollars into wars that, in the end, will never bring the reconciliation of enemies? The time has come for the countries of the world to pool their resources and advance toward the world of peace desired by God, the Master of this great universe.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, humanity is traveling down a dead-end street. The only way to survive is to practice the peace philosophy of true love, true life and true lineage taught by Reverend Moon. Now that we have entered the Age after the Coming of Heaven, your good ancestors are activated and the heavenly hosts are sweeping down upon the earth. Soon the countries and peoples that appear strong and mighty will change course and shift in this direction.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Our Mission</h3>
|
||||
<p>I leave you with a choice. There can be no perfection in ignorance. The message from Heaven that I convey to you today is both a blessing and a warning to this generation. I, Reverend Moon, will take the lead in establishing true families, true societies, true nations and a true world. Will you join with me as I rise and gain strength in accordance with heavenly fortune? Or will you remain captive behind the same old walls, all of them Satan’s handiwork: the wall of your religion, the wall of your culture, the wall of your nationality and the wall of your race, and spend the remainder of your time on earth in agony and regret? Heaven is summoning you to be the wise leaders who will set aright this world of evil and establish a new heaven and new earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Today we are participating in the inauguration of the Universal Peace Federation. It represents God’s victory, the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat and tears, and the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an Abel-type United Nations in relation to the existing United Nations. Under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, we will serve as peace police and peace army to safeguard global peace. I hope that you will put on new armor in this new age and be wise and brave activists in this worldwide peace force, for the sake of humanity’s future.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please inscribe this warning from Heaven deep in your hearts. Remember that the only way to inherit Heaven’s lineage, and to establish for eternity the ideal families that God has longed to see, is through the Holy Marriage Blessing established by the True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>In closing, I ask you to devote your best efforts for the development and success of the Universal Peace Federation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

Korea International Exhibition Center<br />

Goyang, Korea</h3>
|
||||
<p>Beloved blessed families of the world, respected Ambassadors for Peace, leaders from all walks of life, and distinguished guests from at home and abroad:</p>
|
||||
<p>Today is a significant day in the history of God’s providence; it begins the forty-seventh year since I declared Children’s Day. There are four great milestones that must be reached and established in the providential course of restoration through indemnity, in order to fulfill God’s purpose of creation that was lost through the Fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. They are: God’s Day, Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, and the Day of All Things. This is the first observance of True Children’s Day, one of the four great providential milestones, following the victory of the Coronation for God’s Kingship in 2001 and the beginning of the providence of <em>Cheon Il Guk</em> (God’s Kingdom) that was proclaimed at the time of the Entrance Ceremony of the Cheon Jeong Gung Peace Palace and the coronation ceremony, in June this year.</p>
|
||||
<p>To commemorate this significant day and renew our resolve, I would like to convey Heaven’s words on the subject of “<i>God’s Model for Absoluteness, Peace and the Ideal Is the Family and Global Kingdom Upholding Absolute Sexual Morality</i>,” which is a summary of the message from Heaven that I have given to the 6.5 billion people of the world over the past year. It is to remind you once again of your role and mission from the viewpoint of God’s providence, and of the importance of the age in which you are living.</p>
|
||||
<p>These words are the words of life that 120 international religious leaders who received them from True Parents directly are proclaiming in 120 nations of the world. The world speaking tour carried out by members of the three generations of the family of the True Parents has opened the path to the salvation of humanity through Heaven’s message and the Blessing. On that foundation, these religious leaders who represent the Cain-type world have taken up the cause and are traveling to every corner of the world.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Emergence of the Universal Peace Federation</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, throughout history, people have worked continuously for peace, based upon human effort alone. Consider the confrontation between democracy and communism. Outwardly, the difference between the two was the extent to which they recognized and insured individual rights and freedoms. Yet from the viewpoint of God’s providence, Communism and democracy were like children who had lost their parents. The two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel respectively and became trapped in the fetters of fraternal conflict.</p>
|
||||
<p>Throughout history, peace movements inevitably reached their limit and ended in failure because they were carried out by imperfect human beings. This why the United Nations, although launched with the splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to admit its innate limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. This is simply because the UN was launched during the era prior to the time when God could directly govern the unfolding of His providence in history.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now, however, it is entirely possible for the Universal Peace Federation to fulfill its mission to unite heaven and earth and form the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. That is because it represents God’s victory and the fruit of the True Parents’ blood, sweat and tears. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation is the world’s cherished hope. It will carry out the role of an Abel-type counterpart to the existing “Cain-type” United Nations, to renew the UN and provide the leadership for a new sovereignty of universal peace known in Korean as <em>Cheon Il Guk</em>. Therefore, please bear in mind that you, as the world’s leaders, are given the heavenly mission to build God’s substantial homeland, which is no less than the ideal that God intended at the time of creation.</p>
|
||||
<h3>God’s Purpose of Creation</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected world leaders, what do you think is God’s ultimate purpose for creating human beings? It is to experience joy through relating with ideal families filled with true love. What does an ideal family look like? When God first created human beings, He made Adam representing all men and Eve representing all women, with the intention that they become owners of true love. Then what was the quickest way for them to cultivate a character of true love? Simply put, it was to secure a parent–child relationship with God, whereby they could live in attendance to God as their Father and form a model family embodying God’s ideal of peace. They were to have followed the path of living as one family with God, experiencing joy eternally.</p>
|
||||
<p>God created Adam and Eve and established them as the first ancestors of humankind to form the model family and establish the ideal of peace. He committed Himself completely to raising them as His son and daughter, who were to be encapsulations of the entire cosmos, mediators between the spiritual and physical worlds, and lords of creation, and who would be joined with Him through true love, true life and true lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, it was necessary for Adam and Eve to establish a model, peaceful, ideal family. God, the Absolute Being, created human beings as His children in order to instill in them absolute values on the basis of an absolute standard. Thus, human beings must follow the way of that absolute standard in keeping with the demands of the heavenly path. This means we must follow our destined life course in order to attend God, the Absolute Being, as our Parent. In other words, for people to perfect themselves in resemblance of God and obtain the stature of people of character who can be called sons and daughters of the Absolute Being, they must follow the path based on the absolute standard determined by Heaven. The essence of this path is the standard of absolute sexual morality.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Absolute Sexual Morality</h3>
|
||||
<p>The first stage is maintaining absolute sexual morality—in other words a standard of absolute sexual purity—prior to getting married.</p>
|
||||
<p>After we are born, we go through a process of growth. We pass through infancy and childhood in a very safe and secure environment under our parents’ love and protection. We then enter the time of adolescence, which signals the start of a new and dynamic life as we forge relationships on a totally new level with those around us, as well as with all things of creation. This is the moment when we begin to travel the path to becoming an absolute human being—internally, through the perfection of our character, and externally, by reaching adulthood.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yet, at this time there is an absolute prerequisite that human beings must uphold no matter who they are; that is maintaining their purity. Sexual purity is based on an absolute model of sexual morality for human beings. God gave it to His children as their destined responsibility and duty, to be carried out in order to fulfill the ideal of creation. This heavenly path is thus the way to perfect an absolute model of sexual morality.</p>
|
||||
<p>What was the single word, the one and only commandment God gave to Adam and Eve, the first human ancestors, upon their creation? It was the commandment and blessing to maintain an absolute standard of sexual abstinence until Heaven’s approval of their marriage. We find this in the Bible passage that indicates that Adam and Eve would surely die on the day they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. If they had refrained from eating and had observed Heaven’s commandment, they would have perfected their character and, as co-creators, stood with God, the Creator, as His equals. Furthermore, they would have taken dominion over the creation and become the lords of the universe enjoying eternal and ideal happiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>It was God’s blessing that He told them to preserve their purity so that they could be married with His Blessing as His true children, become true husband and wife, produce true children and become true parents. This deepens our understanding of this commandment: it was not something separate from absolute sexual morality, which is a principle of God’s creation. The profound truth that lay hidden within God’s commandment throughout history was this: human beings must inherit and live by a model of sexual morality that is intrinsic to God’s ideal for creation in order to perfect their individuality as God’s children, and establish themselves as lords of creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Second is the absolute model of sexual morality in the relationship of husband and wife. More precious than life itself, this is the heavenly law of absolute fidelity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Husband and wife are eternal partners given to each other by Heaven. Through having children, they become the co-creators of true love, true life, and true lineage, and the original source of that which is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. This is because it is a heavenly principle that people cannot give birth to children by themselves, even if they live for a thousand years. How can people who preserve their purity before marriage and become bonded together in purity as husband and wife by Heaven deviate from the heavenly way and go astray, following the wrong path? Human beings are different from animals; if they understand God’s purpose in creating them as His children, they will realize that wrong path is one of betrayal and defiance to the Creator beyond imagination; it is a path of destruction along which they dig their own graves. Resulting from the human Fall, this path is outside the realm of the ideal of creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, absolute sexual morality is the greatest blessing that Heaven has bestowed on humankind. Without adhering to the standard of absolute sexual morality, the path to the perfection of one’s character, to spiritual maturity, is closed. Furthermore, without securing the foundation of absolute sexual morality within a true family through perfected persons, it is impossible for God to establish His stature as a personal God and incarnate God. In order for God, the Absolute Being, to have direct dominion over our lives and to live and share joy with us, we who were created as His object partners and children must assume the form of a perfected family based on the standard of absolute sexual morality, as God does. Only within the boundaries of a family upholding absolute sexual morality is it possible to create relationships based on an ideal model of sexual ethics for life as it originally should have been. This life includes the three-generational realm of grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren. Please understand clearly that God’s eternal life and a human being’s eternal life are made possible only on this foundation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, if, upholding absolute sexual morality, Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection—the perfection of their character—in accordance with God’s will, and entered into conjugal relations through His Blessing, they would have attained complete oneness with Him. God would have dwelt within their union. Also, their children would have been linked to this holy order of love, enjoying a direct relationship with God as their Parent. In other words, the marriage of the perfected Adam and Eve, based on their absolute sexual morality, would have been God’s own marriage. While God is forever God, also Adam and Eve would have become the embodiment of God. They would have become God’s body. God would have settled inside their minds and hearts to become the True Parent of humankind in both the spiritual and physical worlds, on the foundation of absolute sexual morality.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Importance of Lineage</h3>
|
||||
<p>Do you know what has pained God’s heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. With it, God lost the basis of human brotherhood and even His ownership over the creation. God’s lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became instead the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with God. From them descended the 6.5 billion people now covering the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three—love, life and lineage—lineage is the fruit. God’s lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life.</p>
|
||||
<p>Hence, for us to become the ideal people envisioned by God, that is, people of ideal character, and to create ideal families, we first need to be linked to His lineage. To take it a step further, only when we are linked to God’s lineage is it possible to create God’s homeland, the ideal nation. The kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world is established in this way through relationships based on absolute sexual morality.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please inscribe the importance of lineage in your hearts. I cannot emphasize this enough. This is because the parent–child relationship is the highest and most important of all relationships, and the model, lineal relationship between parent and child is the only way through which God’s lineage can be bequeathed and made to last forever. You must be clear on this point.</p>
|
||||
<p>Instead, false love, false life and false lineage have infested the earth. God’s love, life and lineage fell into the hands of the adulterer Satan, the enemy of love. Heaven and earth were suffocated and transformed into hell. The world became a wretched place, far from God’s presence. Yet humanity to this day lives in ignorance of this. People are deluded into believing that the lineage of the enemy is the lifeline upon which the world depends. This is the wretched truth about humanity descended from the Fall. That is why we refer to this world as hell on earth. God views humanity’s tragic situation with a heart full of pain.</p>
|
||||
<p>Furthermore, when, due to the Fall, Satan gained control of the realm of lineage, he also usurped the right of the elder son and the right of ownership. God is like a father who worked and sweated his entire life to accumulate assets for his children, only to have a thief steal everything in one night. Who can comprehend the sorrowful, painful heart of God? God lost His lineage, lost His children, and was forced to hand over the ownership of the nations and world to Satan. However, the life of Rev. Moon, whose task it is to complete the mission of the True Parents, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution.</p>
|
||||
<p>The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to indemnify and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. It is a mission to complete not only the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his second coming, but also the mission of all those major figures on whom religions are based. With similarities to the process of God’s creation of the universe, his life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humanity, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It has been a lonely course that cannot be fully comprehended by anyone.</p>
|
||||
<p>It has been a course that took him down thorny paths through the wilderness—paths that he had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge him. Hovering many times between life and death, even vomiting blood, his life has been one of establishing a model of sexual morality, the life of a phoenix that had to rise again to remain true to his promise to God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Though he was innocent, Rev. Moon has had to endure unjust imprisonment six times: for working in the underground independence movement when he was studying in Japan in his early days; for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately after Korea’s independence; during the Syngman Rhee administration after Korea had been reborn as a free nation; and, furthermore, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the life of Rev. Moon—a life that has been one of perfecting a model of sexual morality? His has been a life of misery, which he has endured by biting his tongue, for the sake of comforting God, and for the salvation of the fallen people of the world who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if one person were to look into my heart and speak a word of sympathy, I would burst into tears and my tears would flow like a waterfall.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is only one way to recover the realm of lineage, the right of the elder son and the right of ownership. This is the path to win the natural subjugation of Satan, to have Satan surrender voluntarily. What is the secret to accomplish this? It is only by the power of true love, when we love our enemies more than we love our own children.</p>
|
||||
<h3>True Love</h3>
|
||||
<p>Then what is true love? Its essence is to give, to live for the sake of others and for the sake of the whole. True love gives, forgets that it has given, and continues to give without ceasing. True love gives joyfully. We find it in the joyful and loving heart of a mother who cradles her baby in her arms and nurses it at her breast. True love is sacrificial love, as with a filial son who gains his greatest satisfaction through helping his parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever, continually rejoicing in each other’s company. The attraction of true love brings all things in the universe to our feet; even God will come to dwell with us. Nothing can compare to the value of true love. It has the power to dissipate the barriers fallen human beings created, including national boundaries and the barriers of race and even religion.</p>
|
||||
<p>The main attributes of God’s true love are that it is absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal, so whoever practices true love will live with God, share His happiness, and enjoy the right to participate as an equal in His work. Therefore, a life lived for the sake of others, a life of true love, is the absolute prerequisite for entering the kingdom of heaven.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Spirit World Really Exists</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, each person has a mind and body, and a spirit self that is more elevated than the mind. God resides in the world in which we live with our physical bodies and also in the spirit world, to which our spirits are destined to pass on. Therefore, only when we have become completely one with God in true love are we complete. Such a perfected person might be a small individual but would represent all of history and all potential future relationships, and so could be said to possess infinite value. Once we are aware of this cosmic value, we realize that our lives should be led by and carried out in service to our minds for the sake of perfecting a standard of absolute sexual morality.</p>
|
||||
<p>That is why your conscience knows and perceives not only every action you have performed but also every thought you have entertained. Your conscience is aware of these things before your own teachers, parents or even God are. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience to the commands of your conscience, which is your teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of God’s creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>When viewing the structure of a human being from a different angle, we can recognize that God created us as beings with dual characteristics. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world and our spiritual bodies as representatives of and lords of the incorporeal world. Accordingly, a human being is intended to live for a hundred years or so in the physical world and, once the physical body ceases functioning, to pass on naturally and automatically into the incorporeal, spirit world. In this way, though it cannot be perceived by the eyes in our physical bodies, the spirit world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, humankind’s eternal, original homeland, created by God.</p>
|
||||
<p>The spirit world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right of choice concerning it. It is not a world we can go to if we please or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spirit world He created is also eternal and unchanging. Just as we live in the physical world in our physical bodies and form all sorts of relationships with the existing world, even in the spirit world we are destined to go on living in our spiritual bodies, forming and maintaining close relationships with all phenomena of the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Relationship between the Spiritual and Physical Bodies</h3>
|
||||
<p>However, in the relationship between the spirit and the physical body of a human being, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about a hundred years before it stops functioning, but the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time and space. Isn’t even a person who dresses and fares well in the physical world bound to die? Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you should achieve unity between your physical and spiritual bodies by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spiritual worlds.</p>
|
||||
<p>In other words, you have the responsibility to perfect your spirit within your physical bodies based on the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world. This does not mean, however, that the perfection of a spirit self happens automatically. Only on the basis of your having achieved complete unity between your mind and body during your earthly life, by expressing true love through actions, can your spirit self fully mature.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, in order for fruit to ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must first pass through the growing process of spring and summer and be provided with the nutrients supplied by nature and the tender loving care of its owner. Fruit grown in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant owner will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will fall from the tree before it is ripe, or be classified as worm-infested. Though it will still be fruit, it will be different from other fruit since it will never be good enough to sell in the market.</p>
|
||||
<p>Fruit that has fully matured on the tree will automatically go into the owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when the spirit of a person has reached perfection during his life in the physical world, which can be likened to the tree, can it automatically enter the incorporeal spirit world of the kingdom of heaven. In other words, a person will enter the kingdom of God in heaven automatically only when he has qualified for and enjoyed the kingdom of heaven on earth by living as a fully mature person while in his physical body.</p>
|
||||
<p>While living on earth, your every action and movement is recorded on your spirit self without exception, with the public laws of Heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spirit world in the form of your spirit self, which has recorded your life on earth with 100 percent accuracy. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness. What this means is that it is not God who will judge you; you will be your own judge. If you are aware of this astonishing rule from Heaven, will the remaining days of your life on earth be spent in selfishness and immorality, succumbing to all the temptations of Satan and in pursuit of nothing but pleasure? No, rather you will abstain from injuring and scarring your spirit bodies, even at the risk of your earthly life. Please bear this truth in mind: Whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your thoughts, speech and behavior in each moment.</p>
|
||||
<p>Nevertheless, when you look into your lives, undeniably, your outer self and inner self are in a constant relationship of conflict and struggle. How much longer will you allow this fighting to continue? Ten years? A hundred years? In contrast, there is undeniably a proper order for all forms of existence in the universe. This indicates that God did not create human beings in this state of conflict and disorder. You need to know that it is your duty and responsibility as a human being to dispel all temptations directed at your outer self, your physical body, perfect absolute sexual morality and be victorious in life by following the way of your inner self—your conscience. Heavenly fortune will be with those who lead their lives in such a way. They will attain the perfection of their spiritual selves.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Kingdom of Heaven and the Family</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of place is heaven? In brief, heaven is a world overflowing with God’s true love. True love is its axis. True love is everywhere, in the outward expression as well as in the inward thought. Everyone’s life is filled with true love from beginning to end. The people of heaven are born through true love, live in the embrace of true love, and follow the track of true love all the way to the day they pass on into the next world, the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Heaven is a natural world where all people live for the sake of one another. Consequently, antagonism and jealousy cannot be found anywhere in that world. It is not a world governed by money, position or power. In heaven, the success of every person represents the success of the whole, the likes of every person represent the likes of the whole, and the joy of every person represents the joy of the whole.</p>
|
||||
<p>Heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where all breathe true love. Its life throbs with love, everywhere and all the time. The citizens of heaven are all linked together through their common membership in God’s lineage. There, the whole world and all its people are linked together in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. True love, the love that is God’s essence, is Heaven’s only governing power. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Family of Three Generations Living in Harmony</h3>
|
||||
<p>When seeking after the lost ideal of the original family, there should be someone in the position of perfected Adam, someone in the position of Jesus, and someone in the position of the Lord at his second coming. From that starting point, we can establish the family in which God will dwell. In that family, three generations—grandparents, parents and children—will live in harmony. Parents and children will serve and attend the grandparents, because they represent the family’s ancestors, its historical root.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. It is the model for living together as one. There we have love and respect between parents and children, mutual fidelity and love between husband and wife, and trust and mutual reliance among siblings. This means that you need to establish a true family wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love and bears the fruit of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children should live together as one family and serve the eternal God. God desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility as tribal messiahs and Ambassadors for Peace to seek after and establish them—families of <em>Cheon Il Guk</em>, the Kingdom of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, you should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to after He has been away. He should feel comfortable to visit your home like any parent coming to visit his or her children. This is what it means to live in service to God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Within such a family, God is the vertical subject of your conscience, and your conscience is the vertical subject of your body. Thus, unity with God brings your mind and body into unity. Family members who have established that vertical axis can perfect the four realms of love and heart: parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love. That family links all directions: up and down, front and rear, right and left. They revolve around each other in everlasting spherical motion. This is God’s eternal, model, ideal family, which expands to ideal model nations and His peace kingdom. If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It would be an orderly world where people governed themselves by the heavenly way and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, your parents, your spouse and your children. Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder siblings and younger siblings set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What chance would they have to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and the heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason. It is a world at the “high noon” of absolute values, without any dark shadows.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Intercultural “Exchange” Marriage Blessing</h3>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our bondage to the lineage of Satan has caused so much suffering throughout history. Let us now boldly step forth to sever it and be grafted onto the root of the lineage of the True Parents. Why should we foolishly continue to live and die as wild olive trees? A wild olive tree, even if it lives a thousand years, will only continue producing the seeds of more wild olive trees. Where can we find the path to escape this vicious cycle?</p>
|
||||
<p>It is through the Holy Blessing. The Holy Blessing Ceremony offers the grace of being grafted onto the true olive tree. It was instituted by the True Parents, who bring God’s true lineage to humankind. Once you change your lineage to God’s lineage, your offspring will belong to God’s lineage naturally. The Holy Blessing is received in three stages: rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. These marriages contribute to the enormous task of transcending the barriers of race, culture, nationality, ethnicity and religion, and to creating one family of humankind. In God’s sight, skin color makes no difference. God does not recognize national borders. God does not stand behind the barriers of religion and culture. They are nothing more than the Devil’s tricks. The Devil has used them to rule over humanity as a false parent for tens of thousands of years.</p>
|
||||
<p>You have the mission to teach the members of your families and clans that perfecting a life of absolute sexual morality through the intercultural exchange Marriage Blessing is the ultimate means to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth. Your families and clans should all join the holy ranks of those blessed through intercultural marriage through the perfection of absolute sexual morality.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, the path is now open wide for you to change your lineage through the Holy Wine Ceremony that the True Parents have instituted. The Blessing is yours, either as newlywed couples or as already married couples, that you may establish true families.</p>
|
||||
<h3>True Parents’ Peace Movement</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to reiterate the proposal I have made for a truly providential and revolutionary project. For the sake of peace and human welfare, and also for building God’s homeland and original hometown, I propose that we build a passage for transit across the Bering Strait, that remnant of Satan’s historical division between east and west, and north and south, and where the North American and Russian landmasses are separated. This passage, which I call the “World Peace King Bridge and Tunnel,” will link an international highway system that will allow people to travel on land from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Santiago, Chile, and from London to New York, across the Bering Strait, connecting the world as a single community.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is warning us that He will no longer tolerate separation and division. Carrying out this project will bind the world together as one village. It will tear down the manmade walls of race, culture, religion and country, and establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world that has been God’s cherished desire.</p>
|
||||
<p>The United States and Russia can become one. The European Union, China, India, Japan, Brazil and all nations, and also the world’s religions, can combine their energies to succeed in this project. Its success will be decisive in establishing the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where people will no longer make war with each other.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Arrival of the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World</h3>
|
||||
<p>Beloved blessed families, you are now living in the most blessed and exalted time in history. The Age after the Coming of Heaven has arrived! I proclaim the beginning of the new heaven and new earth, long-awaited and yearned for by billions of your ancestors in the spirit world who have come and gone in history. This is the era of the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. The four great religious founders and billions of good ancestors have come down to earth to guide you on the heavenly path. The age when the fallen and corrupt world wreaks havoc on humanity, allowing evil people to live better than others, is passing away.</p>
|
||||
<p>We should seek out and establish that nation and righteousness—the ultimate destination for all of us—that attends God as the center. What would that nation be? It would be the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world. It would be a nation that resembles the form of a model true family with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting and supporting one another and becoming one in love. In short, it is the nation that humanity has desired throughout the ages, the Utopia where God is sovereign.</p>
|
||||
<p>This means we need a movement to realize a society of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values. We need to make humanity one great family, by breaking down the walls in our hearts and eliminating even the boundaries between nations. This movement begins from one family. Therefore, each of us should bear in mind that it is our providential calling to form and establish a true family. It is the way we can advance the establishment of the cosmic peace kingdom on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Indeed, all this is coming to pass. In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new dimension of dialogue. In past decades my Unification Thought played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Now I am successfully leading behind-the-scenes efforts to bring about the reunification of my homeland of Korea.</p>
|
||||
<p>But I am not yet satisfied, because I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing and I am determined to keep my promise to Him. I am determined to obliterate all national divisions and barriers that have poisoned this earth and to establish the kingdom of the peaceful, ideal world, where all people everywhere can live hand in hand.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Our Mission</h3>
|
||||
<p>The Age after the Coming of Heaven that God and True Parents have opened is a time of dramatic change. You have the mission to make this era blossom and bear fruit in blessing and glory. Therefore, please become Heaven’s emissaries, fulfilling the dual missions of the “Peace Kingdom Police Force” and “Peace Kingdom Corps.” Serve humanity under the banner of the Universal Peace Federation, which is working to take up the role of an Abel-type United Nations. Worthy citizens of the world, if not you, then who will nurture and protect the blessed families and this blessed planet Earth that God has given us?</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that in the Age after the Coming of Heaven we must recover the true lineage that was lost when Adam fell, by receiving the Marriage Blessing through the True Parents. The providence of the Blessing should be perfected through five stages: the individual, the family, the tribe, the race and the nation. In this way, let us fulfill our divine mission as blessed families in the Age after the Coming of Heaven by restoring and establishing the ideal three-generation family on the world level. This is the same purpose for which Jesus came to the earth, and which he sought to accomplish before passing from this world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, I am now leading all tribal and national messiahs to unite and bring to a final end the improper relationship between the political sphere, representing the Cain realm, and the religious sphere, representing the Abel realm.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Mongolian Peoples’ Federation, representing 74 percent of the world’s population, should bear in mind that the providential age is now upon us in which it should fulfill its duties by restoring the world through the Blessing on the world level. This will bring to a close the conflict between Cain and Abel, which began in humanity’s first family.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, the providential time has now come when we have the mission to unite the two sons, Cain and Abel. It is by their mother’s love that they can become one. Then, having recovered their original positions, they should dedicate the restored, original, ideal family before the True Parents, the King and Queen of Cosmic Peace. Please take to heart and engrave this in your mind: You are living at a time when God gives you the mission—through restoring the true, ideal family—to offer before Heaven the realm of the sibling love and the right of ownership that were given over to Satan through the Fall of our human ancestors.</p>
|
||||
<p>You are now advancing into the era of liberation and complete inner freedom, which is the providential era of the realm of the heart of the fourth Adam. In other words, it is the Age after the Coming of Heaven. This is the time when, metaphorically speaking, the sun is directly overhead, such that no shadow is cast. This signifies that the era before heaven, including the Old, New and Completed Testament ages, has been surmounted. These eras have required immeasurable restitution and atonement in re-creating the ideal. The present time, however, corresponds to the era, prior to Adam’s Fall, of building the original ideal world. It refers to the era of true love that is all-encompassing, all-powerful and has overall authority. It is the realm of heart in which the spirit world and the physical world are bound together as a unified realm centering on the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace. In other words it is the era of the kingdom of peace and unity in heaven and on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please become true princes and princesses who live in attendance to God as your True Parent, for He is the Peace King of the multitudes. Let us build the everlasting peace kingdom by attending True Parents, who have been enthroned as the King and Queen of Cosmic Peace in the world of eternal liberation and freedom—where there is no need for the Savior, Messiah nor Second Advent of the Lord—and fulfill the dutiful family way of filial sons and daughters, patriots, saints, and divine sons and daughters!</p>
|
||||
<p>By following God’s commandment to uphold absolute sexual morality, let us establish exemplary families, inherit True Parents’ victory of restoring through indemnity the realm of three generations, and perfect the world as it would have been without the Fall!</p>
|
||||
<p>Let us establish a model ideal family to bring the complete settlement of the cosmic ideal realm of liberation and complete freedom, and the kingdom of goodness in which we can enjoy a time of absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal peace and prosperity, which can become the homeland of cosmic peace that can be praised for all eternity!</p>
|
||||
<p>May God’s blessings be upon your family, your nation and the world for all eternity!</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

|
||||
I am grateful that so many of you could<br />
|
||||
gather here today, in spite of your busy public<br />
|
||||
and private schedules.<br />
|
||||
Let me begin my address by reading an<br />
|
||||
excerpt from a prayer that I offered forty-seven<br />
|
||||
years ago. The year was 1958 and I was a 38-<br />
|
||||
year-old single man. This prayer is recorded in<br />
|
||||
the Cheon Seong Gyeong, a collection of passages<br />
|
||||
from sermons I have delivered over the course<br />
|
||||
of my ministry.<br />
|
||||
“Loving Father, thank you for the grace by<br />
|
||||
which You have protected Your humble son, who<br />
|
||||
has fought since childhood so that Heaven may<br />
|
||||
not suffer humiliation and insult.<br />
|
||||
“Even the finest things of this earth are worthless<br />
|
||||
when measured against the original heart by<br />
|
||||
which You act. Considering this, we should feel<br />
|
||||
boundless longing to stand in a position where we<br />
|
||||
can connect to Your heart. A person who encounters<br />
|
||||
Your true love could lose the entire world and<br />
|
||||
not miss it.<br />
|
||||
“Beloved Father, we must now establish the<br />
|
||||
ideal world, our original homeland, where Your<br />
|
||||
love saturates every person’s life. During our<br />
|
||||
earthly lives we must prepare for the day when<br />
|
||||
we will make the transition into the next life as<br />
|
||||
Your liberated children, inhabiting a realm of freedom<br />
|
||||
there. Just as a child must be healthy in the<br />
|
||||
womb for it to be healthy during its life in this<br />
|
||||
world, we must lead wholesome lives in this world<br />
|
||||
if we are to be healthy and complete after entering<br />
|
||||
Heaven. Nevertheless, the world in which we<br />
|
||||
live today is under the dominion of evil and therefore<br />
|
||||
is full of contradictions. Thus the only way<br />
|
||||
that heaven and earth can support us in our<br />
|
||||
endeavors, and the only way we can harmonize<br />
|
||||
with the dynamic ebb and flow of the universe, is<br />
|
||||
1<br />
|
||||
Now Is God’s Time<br />
|
||||
God’s Peace Kingdom Is The Eternal Homeland for All Blessed Families<br />
|
||||
The Reverend and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon<br />
|
||||
if we are victorious over ourselves to the extent<br />
|
||||
that we are ready to give our lives.<br />
|
||||
“Loving Father, You have toiled throughout<br />
|
||||
history to create a new springtime of hope for<br />
|
||||
us. Let us recognize that, in order to greet the<br />
|
||||
new spring, our lives must be bound to Your life.<br />
|
||||
We must assimilate ourselves completely into You<br />
|
||||
and be absorbed in You. Allow us the certain<br />
|
||||
knowledge that this is the only way to receive<br />
|
||||
Your spring and break forth as Your beautiful<br />
|
||||
blossoms.<br />
|
||||
“Help us to also understand that just as a tree<br />
|
||||
that blossoms in spring must pass through summer<br />
|
||||
and autumn before it bears fruit, so too our<br />
|
||||
lives must pass through a certain process before<br />
|
||||
we can bear fruit. No matter how long it takes,<br />
|
||||
or how stormy the environment, we cannot allow<br />
|
||||
our inner self to be invaded. We must continue a<br />
|
||||
course of steady development. This is the only<br />
|
||||
way we can reach the next spring as a mother’s<br />
|
||||
body for a new life, a mature seed ready to be<br />
|
||||
sown in the fertile soil.<br />
|
||||
“Though we may appear shabby and<br />
|
||||
wretched, we must not forget that we are people<br />
|
||||
whose internal form is as a crystal, capable of<br />
|
||||
gathering the infinite life force to be planted as<br />
|
||||
life-bearing seeds in the infinite world. I beseech<br />
|
||||
You that we always remember, in the face of difficulties,<br />
|
||||
that the more pitiful our external appearance,<br />
|
||||
the more significant and substantial is our<br />
|
||||
internal value.<br />
|
||||
“We know, loving Father, that anyone whose<br />
|
||||
heart is not overflowing with longing to attend<br />
|
||||
You and bow down before You will be unable to<br />
|
||||
bond with You in that eternal world. Let us open<br />
|
||||
our hearts now, so that we may feel Your heart.<br />
|
||||
Let us hear Your voice today as it wells up within<br />
|
||||
our hearts, so that we may establish our lives in<br />
|
||||
your truth. Let us appreciate with our whole<br />
|
||||
heart the tragic course You walked as You struggled<br />
|
||||
behind the scenes of history to reclaim each<br />
|
||||
one of us. Of our own accord, we bow our heads<br />
|
||||
in Your presence.<br />
|
||||
Amen!”<br />
|
||||
Respected leaders of the United States,<br />
|
||||
what is the first attribute of truth? It is that it<br />
|
||||
is eternal and unchanging. If I truly have<br />
|
||||
received the anointing of Heaven as the Savior,<br />
|
||||
Messiah, Second Coming and True Parent, who<br />
|
||||
appears on the earth to communicate<br />
|
||||
Heaven’s truth and save humanity from the<br />
|
||||
hell of the human fall, then the word that I<br />
|
||||
teach must not change. There should not be<br />
|
||||
even the slightest difference between what I<br />
|
||||
teach today and what I taught 20 years ago or<br />
|
||||
40 years ago.<br />
|
||||
I received Heaven’s call at the youthful age<br />
|
||||
of 16 and have dedicated my life of over 80<br />
|
||||
years to the task of accomplishing God’s will<br />
|
||||
on this earth and saving humankind. My teachings<br />
|
||||
do not derive from my own knowledge or<br />
|
||||
personal philosophy. The words that come from<br />
|
||||
my mouth, whether 50 years ago, at this<br />
|
||||
moment, or at any moment in the future, are<br />
|
||||
truth given by Heaven to humanity. They are<br />
|
||||
the heavenly doctrine that humanity should<br />
|
||||
uphold and live by forever. Even if all six billion<br />
|
||||
people on earth were to oppose me, my words<br />
|
||||
are still the eternal and unchangeable truth.<br />
|
||||
Nothing can be added or taken away, not even<br />
|
||||
one iota.<br />
|
||||
As I prayed 47 years ago, so too today I pray<br />
|
||||
that you will open your hearts and experience<br />
|
||||
the heart of God. Please listen to the voice of<br />
|
||||
God that wells up from within the deepest<br />
|
||||
recesses of your own heart. Please do not ever<br />
|
||||
forget Heaven’s wondrous will and love, which<br />
|
||||
have guided my footsteps back to America even<br />
|
||||
after I thought I would never return.<br />
|
||||
One Moment and One Lifetime<br />
|
||||
God created us to be born in love, raised in<br />
|
||||
love, live our lives in the midst of love, and then<br />
|
||||
die in the arms of love. So everything—our<br />
|
||||
birth, our life, and our death— should give rise<br />
|
||||
to gratitude.<br />
|
||||
From birth we find ourselves sharing in the<br />
|
||||
lives of our parents. We become participants in<br />
|
||||
their lives. Our parents conceived us in love;<br />
|
||||
2<br />
|
||||
in us they planted the flag of their love. We live<br />
|
||||
our entire lives in accordance with the banner<br />
|
||||
of our parents’ love. We should wave this banner<br />
|
||||
each moment of our lives by loving our parents<br />
|
||||
and our siblings.<br />
|
||||
The person who ignores the value of each<br />
|
||||
and every moment to love will lose what is<br />
|
||||
truly precious. Whether we win or lose is determined<br />
|
||||
in a single moment. Every historical victory<br />
|
||||
and every heavenly victory was<br />
|
||||
determined in a moment. Therefore, a great<br />
|
||||
person lives his or her life constantly aware of<br />
|
||||
the precious value of each moment, for every<br />
|
||||
particular moment is uniquely special. Such a<br />
|
||||
person can be included in the ranks of the<br />
|
||||
saints, and even become a divine son or daughter<br />
|
||||
in Heaven and on earth.<br />
|
||||
From this perspective, it is vital to understand<br />
|
||||
how to live in relationship with God’s will,<br />
|
||||
in the contexts both of daily personal life and of<br />
|
||||
historical time. Before we talk about our hope<br />
|
||||
that God’s will be done and His Kingdom come,<br />
|
||||
we need to assess the degree to which we are<br />
|
||||
living in oneness with His Will.<br />
|
||||
The Bible records a 4,000-year Providence of<br />
|
||||
Restoration that includes Noah’s family,<br />
|
||||
Abraham’s family, Moses’ family and Jesus’<br />
|
||||
family. We see that the mistakes the members<br />
|
||||
of those families committed were not events<br />
|
||||
extending over a decade or several decades.<br />
|
||||
Those who erred did so in a single moment,<br />
|
||||
and the error of that one moment fated them<br />
|
||||
and their descendants to a path of indemnity<br />
|
||||
extending over a thousand years of history, and<br />
|
||||
caused peoples and nations to fall into a bottomless<br />
|
||||
pit of destruction.<br />
|
||||
That reveals the seriousness and importance<br />
|
||||
of each moment of our lives. Even the<br />
|
||||
eternal Kingdom of Heaven cannot exist apart<br />
|
||||
from the single moment. Eternity does not<br />
|
||||
begin when a person dies; it begins when a person<br />
|
||||
comes to know Heaven’s will. If even a single<br />
|
||||
moment should ever be skipped, or if there<br />
|
||||
should be even the smallest hole in time, eternity<br />
|
||||
will cease to exist.<br />
|
||||
As people of faith, it is good for us to dream<br />
|
||||
of the eternal, but it is even more important that<br />
|
||||
we understand how to eradicate evil and advance<br />
|
||||
goodness in the context of our own life in today’s<br />
|
||||
reality. In other words, what you should fear<br />
|
||||
most is not the judgment that will come in the<br />
|
||||
Last Days, but whether you are living each<br />
|
||||
moment of your daily life in oneness with God’s<br />
|
||||
Will. You should be concerned about how your<br />
|
||||
life intersects with the course of God’s Will.<br />
|
||||
The Path to Our True Home<br />
|
||||
The truth is that the circumstances of our<br />
|
||||
families, societies, nations and world do not<br />
|
||||
align with our will. Therefore, we find ourselves<br />
|
||||
dealing with all manners of difficulties, and we<br />
|
||||
struggle back and forth across the turning point<br />
|
||||
between good and evil. Every single day we<br />
|
||||
prepare and struggle to triumph over our circumstances.<br />
|
||||
Even in terms of our daily schedules,<br />
|
||||
we often experience that we cannot do all<br />
|
||||
the things that we planned to do in the morning.<br />
|
||||
This is all the more the case as we take on<br />
|
||||
a greater public role. We find that we need proportionally<br />
|
||||
greater determination and driving<br />
|
||||
force in order to conclude each day of our lives<br />
|
||||
with victory. The days add up to become<br />
|
||||
months, then years. Ultimately, they add up to<br />
|
||||
form our entire life.<br />
|
||||
Ladies and gentlemen, while living on this<br />
|
||||
earth, neither we nor anyone in history can<br />
|
||||
escape the confines of time. Individuals, families,<br />
|
||||
tribes, peoples, nations and the world move<br />
|
||||
within one realm of time. Each person has a<br />
|
||||
certain purpose to fulfill during the course of<br />
|
||||
his or her life. A person will strive for ten years,<br />
|
||||
twenty years, or an entire lifetime in pursuit<br />
|
||||
of this purpose. The larger the purpose, the<br />
|
||||
stronger must be the person’s internal resolution<br />
|
||||
and dedication. To accomplish his or her<br />
|
||||
purpose, a person must possess an internal<br />
|
||||
determination strong enough to overcome any<br />
|
||||
adversity.<br />
|
||||
You may not understand about the spirit<br />
|
||||
world. But through God’s special grace, I came<br />
|
||||
to know that unknown world with certainty.<br />
|
||||
3<br />
|
||||
Looking at the fundamentals of that world, I<br />
|
||||
saw that it operates on a simple principle. When<br />
|
||||
people cross over into that world, those who<br />
|
||||
lived for the sake of others according to God’s<br />
|
||||
heavenly laws and principles will enter<br />
|
||||
Heaven, while those who lived selfishly and<br />
|
||||
only for themselves cannot avoid going to hell.<br />
|
||||
What is heaven? Heaven is a kingdom of peace.<br />
|
||||
It is where the original ideal of creation that<br />
|
||||
God purposed from the beginning is completed.<br />
|
||||
It is the true homeland all human beings must<br />
|
||||
seek and find.<br />
|
||||
We are descendants of Adam and Eve, who<br />
|
||||
were expelled from the original homeland as a<br />
|
||||
result of the Fall. Therefore, it is our destiny to<br />
|
||||
return to and re-enter that original homeland.<br />
|
||||
However, we cannot enter there by human<br />
|
||||
effort alone. It is possible to enter only because<br />
|
||||
God has worked through history to enable fallen<br />
|
||||
human beings to go there. God established various<br />
|
||||
religions, suited to each peoples’ diverse<br />
|
||||
cultures and traditions, to guide humanity.<br />
|
||||
Religion, however, only trains people to acquire<br />
|
||||
the qualifications. To actually bring us to this<br />
|
||||
higher dimension, God is now leading humanity<br />
|
||||
above and beyond the cultural backgrounds<br />
|
||||
of the various world religions, towards a single<br />
|
||||
unified religious world.<br />
|
||||
The Goal of Life<br />
|
||||
All religions teach their followers to live for<br />
|
||||
the sake of others because their purpose is to<br />
|
||||
prepare their people to live in the original<br />
|
||||
homeland. Living for the sake of others is the<br />
|
||||
essence of true love. To train us in this way of<br />
|
||||
life, religions give highest priority to the practice<br />
|
||||
of meekness and humility. They teach us<br />
|
||||
to place other people above ourselves and to<br />
|
||||
live for their benefit. They teach sacrifice and<br />
|
||||
service.<br />
|
||||
Ladies and gentlemen, what is the ultimate<br />
|
||||
goal of life? It is to possess God’s love completely.<br />
|
||||
To reach that final destination, a man<br />
|
||||
and a woman must travel the road together.<br />
|
||||
They may encounter life-threatening situations<br />
|
||||
dozens or even hundreds of times, or even die<br />
|
||||
on the way, yet that is the path of life that leads<br />
|
||||
them back to God.<br />
|
||||
What is the ultimate human desire? It is to<br />
|
||||
possess God’s love completely. True love is the<br />
|
||||
core of God’s being. You may possess God’s<br />
|
||||
attention completely, yet God will not be your<br />
|
||||
God unless you possess God’s true love. On<br />
|
||||
the other hand, if you completely possess<br />
|
||||
God’s true love, then you will not mind even<br />
|
||||
if God is not with you. You enter a state where<br />
|
||||
everything that is God’s is yours, and everything<br />
|
||||
that is yours is God’s. Then for the first<br />
|
||||
time, the internal and external will be one.<br />
|
||||
The place filled with such love is the ideal<br />
|
||||
Kingdom of Heaven. Once you reach this state,<br />
|
||||
you will perceive beauty in all beings in the<br />
|
||||
world, and everything in the world will live<br />
|
||||
for your sake.<br />
|
||||
And yet, ladies and gentlemen, because of<br />
|
||||
the fall of the first human ancestors, all people<br />
|
||||
without exception have inherited Satan’s false<br />
|
||||
love and were born with Satan as their parents.<br />
|
||||
Satan’s lineage has been passed down to you<br />
|
||||
through your mother and father. This is the picture<br />
|
||||
of who you are here today. Our beginning<br />
|
||||
was in error because false parents abducted us;<br />
|
||||
therefore, we must go back and begin again in<br />
|
||||
the lineage of the True Parents.<br />
|
||||
This is how deadly serious our lives are. You<br />
|
||||
must inherit God’s love, God’s life, and God’s<br />
|
||||
lineage. It is possible only through the Holy<br />
|
||||
Blessing Ceremony. This ceremony is not a religious<br />
|
||||
rite of the Unification Church alone but<br />
|
||||
grace from God. You were dying because you<br />
|
||||
were pricked by Satan’s poison-tipped needle,<br />
|
||||
but through this ceremony you will be revived.<br />
|
||||
The Purpose of Creation<br />
|
||||
Then, let us look from God’s viewpoint at<br />
|
||||
the reasons He created human beings. There<br />
|
||||
are three. First, God created human beings with<br />
|
||||
material form in order for Him to be the Parent<br />
|
||||
of all material existence. God, being invisible<br />
|
||||
and without material form, cannot have dominion<br />
|
||||
over things that have material form. In<br />
|
||||
4<br />
|
||||
other words, God needed to exist as a being with<br />
|
||||
form: that is the form of a Parent. God wished<br />
|
||||
to become one with Adam and Eve and through<br />
|
||||
them to act as the substantial Parent to all<br />
|
||||
humanity.<br />
|
||||
Second, the invisible God cannot produce<br />
|
||||
children of His perfect image by Himself. A<br />
|
||||
vertical line perpendicular to a horizontal plane<br />
|
||||
cannot move beyond the single point where it<br />
|
||||
intersects that plane. There is no reproduction<br />
|
||||
in the spirit world. The spatiality that is necessary<br />
|
||||
for reproduction to take place is created<br />
|
||||
only when there is a horizontal deployment<br />
|
||||
from the perpendicular axis tracing a sphere<br />
|
||||
through 360 degrees. God needed an organic<br />
|
||||
process by which to produce citizens of the<br />
|
||||
Kingdom of Heaven, and so He created this<br />
|
||||
horizontal earthly world. When a man and<br />
|
||||
woman meet and form a couple through conjugal<br />
|
||||
love, they create a sphere through their give<br />
|
||||
and take action, and become a channel by<br />
|
||||
which to produce citizens of the Kingdom of<br />
|
||||
Heaven. God’s desire was to multiply so many<br />
|
||||
people of the Kingdom of Heaven that there<br />
|
||||
would be more than enough men and women<br />
|
||||
to fill the ideal world He envisioned. This is the<br />
|
||||
reason it is important for husbands and wives to<br />
|
||||
bear and raise many children.<br />
|
||||
Third, God created human beings in order<br />
|
||||
to establish and maintain an eternal partnership<br />
|
||||
of love. When God created Adam and Eve,<br />
|
||||
He intended that they would become His eternal<br />
|
||||
partners of love. But they were not the only<br />
|
||||
ones. Once God had established Adam and Eve<br />
|
||||
in His partnership realm, it was His intention<br />
|
||||
to likewise establish their children and all their<br />
|
||||
descendants in a world where everyone would<br />
|
||||
be His direct partner of love. In this way, God<br />
|
||||
created human beings to maintain the world of<br />
|
||||
love’s partnership for eternity.<br />
|
||||
If Adam and Eve call God “Father,” then<br />
|
||||
should their children call Him “Grandfather?”<br />
|
||||
No, they would also call Him “Father.” God is<br />
|
||||
the vertical center. From God’s perspective, all<br />
|
||||
the partners of His love are equal. Each partner<br />
|
||||
of God’s love possesses equal value transcending<br />
|
||||
time and space. After all, each is produced<br />
|
||||
when God’s vertical love is extended horizontally<br />
|
||||
on the same plane. This means the value<br />
|
||||
of perfected love is always equal.<br />
|
||||
Intermediaries between the Spiritual<br />
|
||||
and Physical Worlds<br />
|
||||
Next, let us look at the process of God’s creation.<br />
|
||||
When God created the universe, first He<br />
|
||||
created the natural environment and then on<br />
|
||||
that foundation He created human beings. In<br />
|
||||
the beginning, God was the center of everything.<br />
|
||||
In the end, He desired that human beings<br />
|
||||
establish equilibrium and unity throughout the<br />
|
||||
natural world. Thus, human beings would be<br />
|
||||
in the central position—with the spirit world<br />
|
||||
relating to the mind and the physical world<br />
|
||||
relating to the body. Humanity has a mission:<br />
|
||||
to serve as the intermediary between the spiritual<br />
|
||||
and physical worlds.<br />
|
||||
Look at the natural world in which we live.<br />
|
||||
It contains two axes: one visible and the other<br />
|
||||
invisible. The Earth, as an object partner,<br />
|
||||
revolves around the sun, its subject partner, at<br />
|
||||
the same time that it rotates on its own axis.<br />
|
||||
Likewise, our body revolves around our mind<br />
|
||||
by following the mind’s directions at the same<br />
|
||||
time that it also engages in its own rotational<br />
|
||||
motion that enables it to exist and function. I<br />
|
||||
am trying to illustrate a universal principle, one<br />
|
||||
that illuminates the path of restoration that<br />
|
||||
leads to the salvation of fallen humanity.<br />
|
||||
Human beings have a body that revolves<br />
|
||||
around the physical mind. The physical mind<br />
|
||||
revolves around a higher center—the spirit<br />
|
||||
mind, and above the spirit mind is yet a higher<br />
|
||||
center—God. Human beings are complete only<br />
|
||||
when they are completely one with God. Yet, a<br />
|
||||
complete human being, though he or she may<br />
|
||||
appear to be an insignificant individual, represents<br />
|
||||
all of history and all relationships of the<br />
|
||||
future. That person’s value is equal to that of<br />
|
||||
the entire cosmos. If we wish to attain such cosmic<br />
|
||||
value, we will let our spirit mind lead the<br />
|
||||
way as we go about our life. This is heavenly<br />
|
||||
law. The time has come when Heaven will<br />
|
||||
judge whoever goes against the promptings of<br />
|
||||
5<br />
|
||||
his or her conscience, which speaks through<br />
|
||||
the spirit mind.<br />
|
||||
We are now living in the Age After the<br />
|
||||
Coming of Heaven. This is an era when your<br />
|
||||
sincerity, your dedication and your sweat will<br />
|
||||
bear fruit. The founders and saints of the great<br />
|
||||
religions, accompanied by myriads of good<br />
|
||||
ancestors, have descended to the earth and are<br />
|
||||
participating in the works of the Providence.<br />
|
||||
Now is the time to flee from this world of anxiety,<br />
|
||||
fear and confusion, and follow the teachings<br />
|
||||
of the True Parents to establish God’s<br />
|
||||
Kingdom of Peace on earth. If you, the citizens<br />
|
||||
of the leading nation of the democratic world,<br />
|
||||
cannot do it, God will accomplish His will<br />
|
||||
nonetheless, even by educating atheists in formerly<br />
|
||||
communist countries to do so.<br />
|
||||
The State of Resonance<br />
|
||||
Ladies and gentlemen, how can we become<br />
|
||||
intermediaries who can unite with the will of<br />
|
||||
heaven? We should enter a state of resonance<br />
|
||||
with God. In nature, resonance occurs when<br />
|
||||
two objects vibrate with the same frequency.<br />
|
||||
Sound waves of harmonic frequency create resonance.<br />
|
||||
The resonating objects no longer<br />
|
||||
vibrate independently, but begin to move<br />
|
||||
around one center. In the same way, when a<br />
|
||||
person’s spirit self and physical self resonate<br />
|
||||
with each other and begin to revolve centering<br />
|
||||
on God’s true love, the person’s spiritual cells<br />
|
||||
and physical cells begin to function together.<br />
|
||||
His or her physical eyes, for example, will<br />
|
||||
vibrate in step with their spiritual eyes, and<br />
|
||||
they will be able to see not only the physical<br />
|
||||
world but also the complete reality of the spirit<br />
|
||||
world.<br />
|
||||
For the same reason, when we reach the<br />
|
||||
state where our spirit self and physical self<br />
|
||||
become one by the explosive force of true love,<br />
|
||||
we will resonate with the earthly world, the<br />
|
||||
heavenly world and even with God. What is the<br />
|
||||
force that can move our mind and body into a<br />
|
||||
state where they resonate 100 percent? It is not<br />
|
||||
God’s wisdom, efficacy, or power. Only His true<br />
|
||||
love can do it.<br />
|
||||
Every human being has a dual structure,<br />
|
||||
consisting of mind and body. Each man and<br />
|
||||
each woman has a mind and a body. So when<br />
|
||||
a man and a woman come together, it could be<br />
|
||||
said that there are four entities present. If they<br />
|
||||
are not united, it could be chaos. But these four<br />
|
||||
become naturally one when they resonate with<br />
|
||||
God’s true love.<br />
|
||||
Lords of Creation Who Can Inherit<br />
|
||||
God’s Kingdom<br />
|
||||
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a law of the universe<br />
|
||||
that for every particular being or central<br />
|
||||
core, there will always be a second being that<br />
|
||||
revolves around it as its partner. The relationship<br />
|
||||
between God and human beings is an<br />
|
||||
expression of the same principle that causes<br />
|
||||
electrons to revolve around protons. The<br />
|
||||
human mind, like an electron, forms a relationship<br />
|
||||
with and interacts with God’s mind as if it<br />
|
||||
were protons. By this principle God carries out<br />
|
||||
His Providence of Restoration.<br />
|
||||
Indeed, as you delve into the words of truth,<br />
|
||||
you will experience how God’s life energy and<br />
|
||||
love commune with one another. As the<br />
|
||||
Apostle Paul said, it is because God loves us as<br />
|
||||
His children that we shine as lights unto the<br />
|
||||
world.<br />
|
||||
The truth is eternal and unchanging. But<br />
|
||||
how in this evil world can you distinguish<br />
|
||||
between good and evil in order to travel the<br />
|
||||
path of truth? The answer is this: turn away<br />
|
||||
from the pursuit of self-aggrandizement and<br />
|
||||
place yourselves in a low, humble position.<br />
|
||||
The Bible says, “Whoever humbles himself will<br />
|
||||
be exalted.” (Matthew 23:12) The essence of a<br />
|
||||
human being is spiritual. When people die and<br />
|
||||
go to spirit world, they understand much more<br />
|
||||
clearly that essentially human beings are created<br />
|
||||
to live for the sake of others. Nonetheless,<br />
|
||||
we have not been able to escape from selfishness<br />
|
||||
and individualism because we still are<br />
|
||||
yoked to Satan by the shackles of his fallen<br />
|
||||
lineage.<br />
|
||||
6<br />
|
||||
You should now eat spiritual food. Between<br />
|
||||
spiritual food and physical food, which do you<br />
|
||||
think should be tastier? If you are to survive<br />
|
||||
and stand on the side of God, you should prefer<br />
|
||||
the taste of spiritual food. This means that<br />
|
||||
you should prefer a life based on spiritual<br />
|
||||
strength rather than a life based on physical<br />
|
||||
strength.<br />
|
||||
It is said than human beings are the lords of<br />
|
||||
creation. Yet a person does not become a lord of<br />
|
||||
creation simply by virtue of being human. To be<br />
|
||||
minimally qualified, a person must not live<br />
|
||||
mainly for him or herself. They are rightly<br />
|
||||
called lords who live for others and serve the<br />
|
||||
whole. God is trying to accomplish His will<br />
|
||||
through such people. God is not building the<br />
|
||||
Kingdom of Heaven for Himself. By having<br />
|
||||
such selfless people build the Kingdom, He<br />
|
||||
wants it to belong to them.<br />
|
||||
God created human beings to live forever.<br />
|
||||
But if we were unable to cast off the yoke of<br />
|
||||
this evil world during our sojourn of one hundred<br />
|
||||
years or so on the earth, how would our<br />
|
||||
life be superior to that of an animal? Because<br />
|
||||
we are spiritual beings, we should differ from<br />
|
||||
animals. It turns out that the reason human<br />
|
||||
beings can be lords of creation is that our hearts<br />
|
||||
never grow old. Nature is always changing.<br />
|
||||
Even a rock, a symbol of permanence, cannot<br />
|
||||
endure forever the effects of erosion. Only the<br />
|
||||
human heart was created with the potential to<br />
|
||||
remain unchanging for eternity. Hence the<br />
|
||||
title, “lord of creation,” cannot be awarded based<br />
|
||||
upon one’s money or knowledge. It is not based<br />
|
||||
on power. It is only based on the true unchanging<br />
|
||||
love—God’s love.<br />
|
||||
Becoming Original Human Beings<br />
|
||||
Ladies and gentlemen, what are the ties that<br />
|
||||
will bind original human beings to each other?<br />
|
||||
Original relationships involve sharing joy and<br />
|
||||
exhibiting the values of praise and respect for<br />
|
||||
each other. Above all, they manifest perfect<br />
|
||||
true love within the realm of God’s absolute<br />
|
||||
love.<br />
|
||||
Thus, original human beings are to encapsulate<br />
|
||||
the harmonious oneness of all relationships<br />
|
||||
in heaven and on earth. This is the very reason<br />
|
||||
we have both an invisible mind and a visible<br />
|
||||
body. If we had preserved the relationship<br />
|
||||
of mind and body that God had intended, then<br />
|
||||
the mind and body, though distinct and different<br />
|
||||
from each other in terms of function, would<br />
|
||||
be eternally united and whole.<br />
|
||||
Please consider your own life. I don’t think<br />
|
||||
you can deny that your mind and body are<br />
|
||||
often fighting each other. How much longer are<br />
|
||||
you going to allow this fight to continue? Ten<br />
|
||||
years? A hundred years? Or will it not end even<br />
|
||||
when you die? There is a definite order<br />
|
||||
designed for all beings in the universe. This<br />
|
||||
means God did not create us to exist in the<br />
|
||||
imperfect state in which we now find ourselves.<br />
|
||||
Your task now is to empower your mind and<br />
|
||||
subdue your body. The grace of Heaven will<br />
|
||||
be with you in this effort.<br />
|
||||
In the relationship between the mind and<br />
|
||||
body, the mind is the more important of the<br />
|
||||
two. The body persists for about a hundred<br />
|
||||
years and then passes away, but the mind, or<br />
|
||||
spirit, will live for eternity, transcendent of time<br />
|
||||
and space. You may spend your days on earth<br />
|
||||
eating and dressing extravagantly, but someday<br />
|
||||
you will die, and then what? You are better<br />
|
||||
off setting a good spiritual standard and then<br />
|
||||
harmonizing your physical life to that standard.<br />
|
||||
Make of yourself a person of integrity and<br />
|
||||
wholeness embracing both spirit and flesh.<br />
|
||||
Building the Peace Kingdom<br />
|
||||
Respected leaders of the United States, we<br />
|
||||
are now entering a glorious age. The Kingdom<br />
|
||||
of Heaven on earth, God’s ideal of creation, is<br />
|
||||
being established before your eyes. This is the<br />
|
||||
Peace Kingdom. In my life of more than 80<br />
|
||||
years, I have walked a lonely path. Heaven<br />
|
||||
called me to walk that path, soaked with blood,<br />
|
||||
sweat and tears. Now, that effort is bearing victorious<br />
|
||||
fruit for the sake of all six billion people<br />
|
||||
of the world.<br />
|
||||
7<br />
|
||||
In more than 180 countries, Ambassadors<br />
|
||||
for Peace have inherited Heaven’s will and tradition.<br />
|
||||
They are working hard, day and night,<br />
|
||||
proclaiming the values of true love and true<br />
|
||||
families. They are moving forward with full<br />
|
||||
force to establish world peace. In the Middle<br />
|
||||
East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews,<br />
|
||||
Christians and Muslims have found the<br />
|
||||
resources in my philosophy of peace to engage<br />
|
||||
in a new dimension of dialogue for peace.<br />
|
||||
Unification Thought played an important role<br />
|
||||
in ending the Cold War. I am now playing a<br />
|
||||
decisive role behind the scenes to bring about<br />
|
||||
the unification of my homeland, Korea.<br />
|
||||
But ladies and gentlemen, that is not<br />
|
||||
enough to satisfy me. I began my life’s work at<br />
|
||||
the command of Heaven. I have come as the<br />
|
||||
True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing,<br />
|
||||
and I am determined to keep my promise<br />
|
||||
to Him to create a united world of peace.<br />
|
||||
As I stand here today on this platform, I<br />
|
||||
would like to make a truly important historic<br />
|
||||
declaration to humanity. For thousands of<br />
|
||||
years, Satan used the Bering Strait to separate<br />
|
||||
East and West, North and South, as well as<br />
|
||||
North America and Russia geographically. I propose<br />
|
||||
that a bridge be constructed over the<br />
|
||||
Bering Strait, or a tunnel be dug under it, so<br />
|
||||
that it will be able to connect the world super<br />
|
||||
highway starting from the Cape of Good Hope<br />
|
||||
in South Africa to Santiago in Chile, and from<br />
|
||||
London to New York, making the world a single<br />
|
||||
community. I would call this, “The World Peace<br />
|
||||
King Bridge-Tunnel.” Ladies and gentlemen, to<br />
|
||||
succeed with this dramatic and historic project,<br />
|
||||
the United States of America, Russia,<br />
|
||||
Europe, China, India, Japan, Brazil and all the<br />
|
||||
nations and religions of the world should work<br />
|
||||
hand in hand. With the complete success of this<br />
|
||||
project, humankind will be one step closer to<br />
|
||||
the Peace Kingdom on earth where there is no<br />
|
||||
more division and war.<br />
|
||||
Heaven warns us that we can no longer tolerate<br />
|
||||
separation and division. So let us really<br />
|
||||
bind the world together as one community, tear<br />
|
||||
down the walls of race, culture, religion, and<br />
|
||||
nationality, and establish a world of peace on<br />
|
||||
this earth. This has been God’s fervent desire.<br />
|
||||
There is no other way. Humankind’s current<br />
|
||||
course of conflict and selfishness is a dead-end<br />
|
||||
street. People are beginning to realize the significance<br />
|
||||
and the hope in my teachings of “true<br />
|
||||
love, true life and true lineage” which are the<br />
|
||||
pivots of building a world of peace. As the<br />
|
||||
power of Heaven sweeps down upon the earth,<br />
|
||||
even countries and peoples that appear strong<br />
|
||||
today will run out of options and will surrender.<br />
|
||||
The choice is now yours. The Will of<br />
|
||||
Heaven does not change. The teaching that I<br />
|
||||
received in prayer 47 years ago is the same<br />
|
||||
message I am giving to you who are living in<br />
|
||||
the twenty-first century. The power and fortune<br />
|
||||
of Heaven gave me the victory. Will you<br />
|
||||
join in step with Reverend Moon as I rise, and<br />
|
||||
work with me to establish true families, true<br />
|
||||
societies, true nations and a true world on this<br />
|
||||
earth? Or will you continue as Satan’s captive<br />
|
||||
behind the wall of your religion, the wall of<br />
|
||||
your culture, the wall of your nationality and<br />
|
||||
the wall of your race, and spend the remainder<br />
|
||||
of your life in agony and regret? Heaven is summoning<br />
|
||||
brave generals who will turn this world<br />
|
||||
of evil upside down and establish a new heaven<br />
|
||||
and a new earth.<br />
|
||||
Today I have delivered Heaven’s message.<br />
|
||||
Please inscribe it deep in your hearts, and<br />
|
||||
become wise leaders who will set new coordinates<br />
|
||||
for your lives.<br />
|
||||
I pray that God’s abundant blessing will be<br />
|
||||
upon your families and upon your nations.<br />
|
||||
Thank you.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Four City American Speaking Tour<br />
|
||||
October 2004</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders representing the religious, political, journalistic and academic spheres of America and the world, ladies and gentlemen.</p>
|
||||
<p>A thousand emotions crowd my mind as I stand here today. Thirty-four years have passed since I first set foot on this land chosen by God. I came here to uphold God’s will to make America a foothold for world salvation by reviving Christianity and bringing reconciliation to all religions.</p>
|
||||
<p>Some of you who are sitting here may remember the warning I proclaimed when I first arrived in America. I boldly declared to the American people, “If there is an illness in your home, do you not need a doctor from outside? If your home catches on fire, do you not need fire fighters? God sent me to America as a doctor to heal this wounded land. He sent me to America as a fire fighter because this house is on fire.”</p>
|
||||
<p>In the early 1970s I called the two hundred and seventy million people of America to a great awakening. My “Day of Hope” speaking tour visited twenty-one major cities throughout the United States. I warned the people then that God was leaving America. I clearly stated that America would not have any hope if it did not end the racial strife between blacks and whites, reverse the moral degradation of its youth, stem the tide of self-centered individualism, resolve the problem of communism, and bring reconciliation among religions. The solutions to these problems could not be found in the federal government or in the schools. I called upon enlightened religious leaders to come together, surmounting differences of religion and ethnicity, to combine their strength and address these issues. Now, thirty years later, what do we see in America.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only God knows the sweat and tears I shed in America as I labored to establish world peace. You who are here today are the chosen fruit of that sweat and those tears. Yet, a thorny path still awaits this nation. I, Rev. Moon, am not an American. In accordance with God’s command, I have returned to Korea to lead His providence to restore my homeland to God. The future of this nation is now in the hands of conscientious leaders like you. Who else shall save your nation? Where else but among the people gathered here can we find a politician who would willingly sacrifice him or herself for the future of this nation, or a professor who would spend sleepless nights anguishing over its problems? You are the only ones who can do it. You must stand up now and become the locomotive that leads America’s two hundred and seventy million people.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this regard, I would like to convey a portion of a new understanding given by heaven for this age, titled “God’s Providence to Establish the World Transcending Religions and Nations Based Upon the Absolute Values of True Love.” Please engrave this message in your hearts. Let its teachings give you direction and purpose in living for the sake of this nation and humankind. This message is not only for you and for the people of America; it is the new decree of heaven–the absolute, unavoidable truth–to be declared to all six billion people of the world and even throughout the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>A World Created in Mutual Relationships</p>
|
||||
<p>Dear guests, what was God’s purpose in creating human beings? The omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God did not want to live in solitude. He wished for counter.parts whom He could love; these are human beings. He created the cosmos in stages to make an environment for human beings, and on that foundation, He created humankind to receive His absolute love.</p>
|
||||
<p>God created us to be His children. God’s desire for us is unlimited: out of love He desires for human beings to become even better and greater than Himself. Don’t all parents wish for their children to surpass them? This is the tradition of parental love, with which God has blessed us.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s purpose of creation is to experience complete joy in seeing His children grow to maturity in a true family, marry under His blessing, and multiply true children who will build a true, ideal Heaven on earth in which to live eternally. They would be the fruits of God’s true love, true life and true lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Does America today resemble God’s ideal of Heaven on earth? Can you Americans say that you possess God’s true love? I am here to teach you the path to becoming an owner of God’s true love.</p>
|

<p>We become owners of true love through practice. How do you practice true love? By giving first, by investing completely for your beloved, sacrificing and not remembering what you have given.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the beginning, God practiced true love. Before God created human beings, He first established the standard of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Then He invested Himself 100 percent. These are absolute values of love. Thus, God established the principle that any true relationship must be founded upon these true love’s absolute values.</p>
|
||||
<p>You cannot become an owner of true love by yourself. You must be in relationship with a counterpart. Thus, a man and woman can never become parents without having children. And it is the parent-child relationship where we practice the absolute values of and become owners of parental love.</p>
|
||||
<p>This principle also applies to God. In order for God to stand as the owner of absolute love, He needs human beings as His true children. He practices the values of absolute love as He relates with them as His object-partners of love. Ultimately, the relationship between God as the subject-partner and human beings as object-partners becomes absolute, creating the realm of unity and perfection.</p>
|
||||
<p>This principle applies throughout the universe, but has been sadly misunderstood. Mistakenly, we have been taught that the strong always devour and exploit the weak. The theory of the survival of the fittest–the so-called “law of the jungle”–is rooted in the Hellenistic worldview. It is fundamentally wrong! Its proponents overlook the absolute values of living for the greater good that aim for the perfection of every creature, allowing all to be owners of love.</p>
|
||||
<p>The owner of love lives for the sake of his or her counterpart, investing true love and forgetting ever having invested. The counterpart responds to that investment of love with complete submission. If true love were excluded from this equation, only the concept of struggle would remain. But God’s principle of creating does not base existence and development upon exploitation. Rather, He creates through a mutual process of giving and receiving, as the partners unite within a greater harmony rooted in love’s absolute values.</p>
|
||||
<p>Sometimes an entity is sacrificed for the sake of a greater good, but we should not interpret this as moral evil. It is an investment for the sake of mutual development. Is it evil for an individual to sacrifice for his or her family? Is it evil for a family to sacrifice for the nation, or a nation for the world? No, these noble acts display love’s absolute values. They are the way to fully realize true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>Selfish Individualism Is Satan’s Last Gasp</p>
|
||||
<p>An owner of true love strives, first of all, to lift up his or her object-partner as an owner of true love. Therefore, we must completely rid ourselves of the individualistic mind-set and the self-centered behavior that flows from it. This is the root of fallen nature and the cause of evil. This applies to an individual’s self-centered behavior and to collective selfish behavior of communities and nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Selfish individualism is in direct contradiction to the spirit that blossoms when we live by true love’s absolute values. Instead of sacrificing and giving for the sake of others, self-centeredness calls others to sacrifice for me. This leads us to be concerned first with our own interests.</p>
|
||||
<p>Through the Fall, Satan diabolically injected self-centeredness into the mind-body relationship. He planted this poison mushroom in the human heart. Although the embrace of self-centeredness may lead to a beautiful appearance, worldly fame and earthly comfort, it is a trap. Enter it recklessly, and it leads to addiction and a life of suffering that is difficult to escape.</p>
|
||||
<p>Consider your physical body. All the elements of your body were already present in your parents’ sperm and ovum. You were born from the love of your parents; 99.999 percent of the body came from your mother’s bone, blood and flesh. Your father’s sperm provided the other 0.001 percent. You must acknowledge the fact that your entire body is an extension of your mother. No one is an exception to this. In this respect, there is nothing that we can call our own, nothing that can justify self-centered individualism.</p>
|
||||
<p>Everything exists in relation to its complement. When we say “front,” it presupposes a ‘back.’ Top is meaningful only in relation to bottom. Left is a precondition for right. By the same logic, masculine presupposes the existence of feminine. The moral lesson is that men are born for the sake of women, and women are born for the sake of men. Without men, there is no need for women. In the same way, without women, men cannot claim any value to their existence.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the end, nothing is born for its own sake. All beings exist and act for the sake of a partner. This means that God created all things to move toward the ideal of His Kingdom through the operation of mutual relationships.</p>
|
||||
<p>Consider a human being’s five senses. Do your eyes exist to gaze at themselves? No. Our eyes, nose, ears, mouth and hands were created to sense others. What force energizes our five senses to sustain our life and maintain our activities? It is the force that exalts the values of true love. Our five senses are nothing but essential tools that exist in order to practice true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>Nothing comes into being for its own sake. A life for the sake of others, giving and sacrificing through love and perfecting the ownership of love through willing submission, is a life aligned with God’s ideal of creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Today I ask you to recognize that each of you was created for the sake of your partner. Know that the law of nature calls you to live for the sake of your partner. Practice this way of life, and you will come to embody the absolute values by which you can become an owner of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Root of Free Sex Was The Human Fall</p>
|
||||
<p>When God created the first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden, He gave them sexual organs. Why did He do that? It was so that they could grow to maturity, marry, beget children without sin, and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. Thus were they to perfect God’s ideal of creation. Adam and Eve should have accomplished this within their lifetime.</p>
|
||||
<p>The problem was that Adam and Eve fell. They became people of false love, false life and false lineage. Instead of embodying and multiplying God’s love, God’s life and God’s lineage, Adam and Eve received the satanic lineage. They fell into disgrace; and worse, they transmitted Satan’s lineage to their children. They lost love’s absolute values, and instead became beings of no value. Hence, God had to drive them out of the Garden of Eden.</p>
|
||||
<p>Adam was supposed to have become God’s body on earth. Eve was supposed to become not only Adam’s bride but also God’s bride. Instead, their minds and bodies were corrupted, they lost their ideals, and they turned into enemies. How grieved was God’s heart as He viewed that tragic reality!</p>
|
||||
<p>The Fall was Adam and Eve’s grave. It robbed God of what belonged to Him. The Fall was the root of free sex and the origin of self-centered individualism.</p>
|
||||
<p>Take a look around you. We see self-centered individualism of the worst kind. Everywhere people are over-consuming out of greed. Free sex is rampant among the young. Whether in the East or the West, people are casting aside the dignity and value of the family and pursuing physical pleasure. Millions fall into drug addiction, contract deadly diseases and meet tragic ends.</p>
|
||||
<p>The conscience does not desire a decadent and meaningless life. Even as we pursue paths of extreme individualism and bodily pleasure, our conscience raises an alarm. Every person has a God-given original mind that longs to live in a universe, nation, neighborhood and family wrapped in the loving embrace of parents and siblings.</p>
|
||||
<p>Still, we continue to walk contrary to the original mind’s desire, and eventually the conscience burns out. Faced with the inescapable conflict between the body’s selfish desires and the conscience, we deaden the pain with escapist drugs and, in the extreme, resort to suicide. Our lives testify to the truth of the proverb, “you shall reap what you sow.”</p>
|
||||
<p>What seed did Adam and Eve sow in the Garden of Eden? They planted the seed of free sex, through an illicit sexual relationship. That is why it is written that after they fell they hid their lower parts. In the Last Days, the time of harvest, rampant free sex among young people will surely manifest throughout the world. Through promiscuity, Satan is carrying out his last campaign to deter anyone from returning to God. Satan’s goal is to destroy humankind and perpetuate hell on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>When young children are caught stealing sweets, their natural reaction is to hide their hands or mouth. If Adam and Eve literally had eaten fruit from a literal tree, they would have hidden their hands or covered their mouths. So, I ask you: Why did they hide their lower parts? We cannot deny that the Human Fall was caused by an illicit sexual relationship between the first human ancestors. God could not do anything in the face of the tragedy of the Fall, because it was connected to Adam and Eve’s responsibility to create their lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dear guests, do you know the dividing line between Heaven and hell? Is it in the air? Is it in a church sanctuary? Is it in a national government? No, the dividing line between Heaven and hell is found in your sexual organ. This is where the greatest tragedy in human history occurred, which turned heaven and earth upside-down.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you use your sexual organ recklessly, like a blind man, you will surely go to hell. On the other hand, if you use it in accordance with the standard of God’s absolute love, you will go to heaven. Who can deny this? If you doubt it, I ask you to carefully read the Divine Principle, which contains the laws of heaven that were revealed to me. If that does not answer your doubts, please pray about it sincerely. I am sure that God will answer your prayer.</p>
|
||||
<p>Hundreds of thousands of young people throughout the world who have accepted the teachings of the Reverend Moon have ceased engaging in free sex. The message of the pure love movement, which advocates “absolute sex,” is now spreading like wildfire. While free sex is based upon false love and motivated by selfish desires that come from Satan, absolute sex is the expression of absolute love centered on God. Literature, films and the media have been highlighting and fanning the flames of free sex. Now, leaders of all spheres of life, including politicians, businessmen, writers, journalists and religious leaders, must stand as one to overturn the culture’s obsession with free sex. This disease cripples individuals, families and nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must bear in mind the importance of Adam’s family, the ancestors of humanity. It was Adam’s family that destroyed the path to true love and world peace. Yet Adam’s family had the potential to establish the absolute values of true love and lay the cornerstone of world peace–if only they had maintained their pure love and received God’s holy marriage blessing. The reason why 10 years ago I brought an end to the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity and raised instead the banner of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification is because the time had come to call people of all faiths to receive the holy blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p>How can we transform this world of conflict and war into a world of harmony and unity? The only way is by practicing true love and establishing love’s absolute values as a global ethic. These eternal, unchanging, unique and absolute values are the attributes of God, the owner of true love. We must inherit them as our own and live accordingly.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Beauty of a Family that Embodies God’s Original Ideal</p>
|
||||
<p>Dear guests, why is the family a good thing? A good family, overflowing with parental love, is the place where we can express our original freedom. It doesn’t matter whether a family is rich or poor; if true love is at the core, their bond of heart is liberating. That family can liberate humankind and even liberate God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Freedom cannot exist without true love. If you visit someone as a guest, you feel reserved and inhibited. This is because initially you may lack a deep bond of true love with that household. In other words, because your love does not spread in all directions, you feel awkward and shy. However, after you visit that home many times and your bond of love with that family grows, you lose your shyness and begin to relate freely.</p>
|
||||
<p>In God’s blueprint for the family, the parents embody the highest and greatest value. Parents are the initiators and the center of eternal true love. No bond is closer than the life-long relationship between parent and child. When a child is born, the first person it relates to is its mother. Mother and baby share indescribable joy. When the child is happy, the parents share that happiness. When the child is sorrowful, the parents are the first to shed tears of sorrow. Thus God intends that parents be the beginning and the end of their children’s joy.</p>
|
||||
<p>For this reason, we have sympathy and compassion for children who have no parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>A loving couple, husband and wife, is the second most valuable existence in the family. A true husband and wife give and receive love that is unconditional. As newly-weds, their love does not begin as absolute, eternal love. But as their relationship matures, their love should become an absolute bond, taking after God’s attributes of absoluteness and eternity. Then their true love will bring happiness and joy to the family.</p>
|
||||
<p>But even if a husband and wife enjoy the most ideal relationship, and it goes no further than the couple, it will not bring the absolute value of eternal happiness and joy. Therefore, couples need to have children. Imagine what would happen if all couples decided not to have children, saying that they would rather just enjoy their own happiness? Humankind would become extinct in one hundred years or less. When a husband and wife receive love from their children, they rise to the position of parents. Only then can they be called a true couple.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, in God’s blueprint for the family, the third most important value is the true love of children for their parents. Children are to love and serve their parents with a bright and positive attitude, even as they seek to fulfill their goals and create a hopeful future for themselves. Their true love for their parents can become original love, adding pure and genuine value and expanding the family’s field of happiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is God’s design for the family: It extends over three generations, completely endowed with the sacrificial love of parents for their children, the true love between husband and wife, and the true love of children for their parents. Families anywhere in the world which manifest this pattern will become the paramount, ideal, true families.</p>
|
||||
<p>What kind of person does the world call happy? What is the basis of happiness? Does power and authority bring happiness? Does having tremendous wealth bring happiness? Does happiness come from possessing a unique talent? Does happiness come by becoming a world-renowned scholar or gaining a coveted position? None of these guarantee happiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>Nothing external can be the basis of eternal happiness. Sooner or later the happiness it brings will fade, stimulating anew the search for happiness. In the end, a person finds genuine happiness in a family that has loving parents, a couple bonded in true love, and children who are devoted and faithful to their parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>Family Relationships are the Basis of Heaven</p>
|
||||
<p>Dear guests, what kind of place is heaven? According to the principle by which God created the universe, heaven must first be perfected on earth. Men and women were created to live their lives in heaven while on earth in their physical bodies. Then, when they naturally discard the flesh, they will make the transition to heaven in the spirit world where they will live for eternity. Our task, then, is to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then what should the Kingdom of Heaven on earth look like? The answer is near at hand. The Kingdom of Heaven has the same form as God’s design for the family. In an original family there are parents of the original standard, husband and wife of the original standard, children of the original standard, and siblings of the original standard.</p>
|
||||
<p>If the members of a family unite in true love, they automatically create harmony and unity. In this way, true love, true life and true lineage are passed on through the generations. The grandparents convey the tradition of true love to the parents. The parents bequeath the same life of true love to their children. In their sibling relationships, the children take after their grandparents and parents by living for the sake of others and forming original relationships of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>When this happens, that family becomes a heavenly family. Such a family may be called an original family, a true family, a family that fulfills God’s purpose and ideal. Unfortunately, if even one of these components is missing, it is impossible to create an original family that can be a unit of the heavenly kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>In an original family, love for one’s parents should be stronger than the love between husband and wife, and love for one’s grandparents should be stronger than the love for one’s parents. This sets up the tradition and ethics of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>The original family is the model of Kingdom of Heaven. The parents are analogous to the leader of a nation; the children correspond to the citizens of a nation; and the family’s house and property correspond to the land of that nation. When the values of true love in the original family apply to the governance and social life of the nation, that nation takes the form of the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Individual Perfection through Mind-Body Unity</p>
|
||||
<p>Thus, the starting point of the Kingdom of Heaven lies not in the individual or in the nation, but in the family. Once we enter heaven and are surrounded by our beloved family, we will not want to leave. Though we see each other hundreds and thousands of times, we will still want to see each other again and again. This is our original homeland, for which everyone shares a common longing.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yet, heaven is not created in an instant. Just because the age has changed and heavenly fortune is with us does not mean that heaven will fall from the sky and appear before our eyes. We first must become people of character who can create heavenly families. In other words, we must achieve individual maturity.</p>
|
||||
<p>The path to becoming people of character, to achieving individual maturity, lies in perfecting the harmony and unity between our mind and body. Originally, we were created to live without any inner conflict. The mind is supposed to guide to the body, while the body acts in absolute obedience to the mind. Thus, mind and body were created to function in perfect harmony. However, all human beings have inherited fallen nature, as a result of the Fall of the first ancestors, Adam and Eve. Humankind has lived in suffering because of the unavoidable conflict between mind and body that has its roots in the Fall.</p>
|
||||
<p>No one in history has ever achieved mind-body unity during his or her life on earth. Despite the steady progress of God’s providence of restoration and His determination to save humanity, not a single person has been liberated from the struggle between the mind and body and achieved individual perfection. Although countless monks and hermits have followed the arduous path of asceticism, living in caves deep in the mountains and devoting their entire lives to meditation and prayer, not one has ever triumphed in that struggle.</p>
|
||||
<p>The reason that even enlightened sages have been unable to stop the struggle between the mind and body is simple. No one has known the method to win the unrelenting, internal war. Self-discipline alone is not enough to win the victory. All such efforts are worthless unless one understands the providence of Heaven, receives the call, reaches the stage of completing the providence of restoration that God has guided for thousands of years, and gains victory in a position publicly recognized by heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Two thousand years ago, Jesus came to the earth as Savior, Messiah and True Parent. As God’s only begotten Son, Jesus had the mission to complete the providence of Heaven and end forever the struggle between the mind and body. But when Jesus died on the cross due to the failure of certain crucial religious and political leaders in Israel to recognize him, he was no longer in a position to bring an end to the struggle between mind and body. And even though Jesus took every opportunity to call on people to love their enemies, his teachings could not bring an end to the struggle between mind and body.</p>
|
||||
<p>Heaven can wait no longer. Heaven is now revealing all its secrets based on my foundation of victory. I have successfully completed the mission of the Lord of the Second Advent, Savior and True Parent. Now I am revealing this truth, bringing to a conclusion the final stage of the providence for humankind’s salvation. The absolute values of true love that I am teaching you today will bring a revolution of character within humankind. Those who follow my teachings will achieve individual perfection and participate in the construction of the ideal of Heaven on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dear guests, the only way to bring harmony and unity between mind and body is to live by the absolute values of true love. Live for the sake of others. Invest yourself with true love and forget what you have invested. Practice this, and you will perfect yourself as the owner of love. You will gain the authority of a subject in relating to others, and they will willingly submit to you in response. Unity of mind and body is impossible unless you live according to love’s absolute values where you give yourself for the sake of others completely. Please discard self-centeredness. It is the root of fallen nature.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ultimately, the realization of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth depends upon the existence of original, true families. Individuals who have achieved harmony and unity between the mind and body create such families. They will form a society, nation and world characterized by interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values, in which people live in harmony focused on the greater good.</p>
|
||||
<p>Unity between mind and body means to live in absolute obedience to the voice of the conscience. The conscience is like the root of the mind. You must listen to your conscience that arises from within your mind, and be able to modify your course of action at any time, anywhere, while remaining as clear as crystal. This is a necessary condition for becoming a true parent, a true teacher, or a true leader.</p>
|
||||
<p>No matter how strong the desire of the body, if you can intentionally place greater force behind your conscience in accordance with the teaching of the Principle, your body will follow your mind. If you cannot, you had better control your body through fasting and asceticism. If clear water continually flows into a muddy pond, eventually the pond will become clear.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dear guests, don’t cause your conscience any more grief. Don’t disobey its call. Disobeying the voice of your conscience only brings sorrow to your heart. It brings sorrow to your parents, to your teachers, and even to God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Instead, cultivate a joyful mind. Although you may be lonely, and appear miserable in the eyes of the world, create an unbreakable bond with your mind and try to be your mind’s best friend. Within the harmony and unity of your mind and body, you will discover a world where all of heaven and earth are spread out before your eyes. In the state of mind-body unity, your conscience and body enter a realm of resonance. Referring to this dimension of the mind, the Buddha said, “Throughout heaven and earth, I am my own lord.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ask your mind if God is dwelling in you, and it will tell you. You will reach a state in harmony with nature, able to communicate freely with animals and plants. You will be able to converse freely with the beings of the spirit world. You will thoroughly prepare yourself for eternal life.</p>
|
||||
<p>By attaining this unity of mind and body, and establishing the absolute values of true love in relating with your reciprocal partners, you participate in establishing the Peace Kingdom on the levels of the individual, family, nation and world. This is God’s most earnest desire.</p>
|
||||
<p>Absolute Faith, Absolute Love, and Absolute Obedience</p>
|
||||
<p>But in order to attain this state of perfection, as descendants of the Fall, we must first shed our fallen nature. How can we do this?</p>
|
||||
<p>First, we must resemble God. When God created all the creatures in the universe, He practiced absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Didn’t He believe and act in accordance with the absolute standard of the principle and according to the order of creation that He had established? He also planted within each of us the absolute standard of love.</p>
|
||||
<p>In your lives, too, if you adhere to and practice these three major principles of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience, your happiness will be guaranteed. Your good ancestors and even the great religious leaders in the heavenly world will assemble to guide your way. See what happens when you practice such an absolute standard of faith, love and obedience for the sake of your parents, your husband or wife, and your brothers and sisters. Heaven will protect you to the same absolute degree. There will be no room for selfish individualism or the pursuit of unprincipled pleasure.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Three Revolutions</p>
|
||||
<p>Second, although no fault of our own, we are descendants of the Fall and have inherited fallen nature from birth. Therefore, it is the urgent task of each of us to bring about three great revolutions in our individual lives. I refer to the revolution through making atonement, the revolution of conscience, and the revolution of heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>The revolution through making atonement means that you are to offer up everything. By this offering you can regain your internal and external rights of ownership, and establish a standard that transcends the realm where Satan has any claim.</p>
|
||||
<p>First, you must carry out a revolution in your own lives by boldly shaking off all the old habits and ways of thinking that you acquired during the age when we lived under satanic rule, called The Age Before the Coming of Heaven. You need to make that victorious foundation in order to practice the absolute standard of true love, which is the standard for our lives in The Age After the Coming of Heaven, and live eternally as God’s true children.</p>
|
||||
<p>In addition, you must go through a revolutionary course and give up all your property and your external rights of ownership to Heaven. Then, once you have cut off all ties to the satanic world and separated yourselves from Satan, you will inherit Heaven’s blessings. That means to increase Heaven’s wealth of sanctified assets such that Satan can never again claim ownership over them.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the revolution of conscience? It is an internal revolution that we carry out by practicing absolute obedience to the voice of our conscience. I am sure you cannot deny that within you there is still the unending struggle between the commands of your conscience, which pursues what is good, and the inclinations of your physical mind, which follows the desires of your physical body. To bring this shameful internal conflict to an end, we must have a clear understanding of the function of the conscience.</p>
|
||||
<p>The conscience knows everything about you–your every move and your every thought. It knows them before your teacher does. It knows them before your parents do. It knows them before God does. What happens when you go against the commands of your conscience? You will be attacked by pangs of conscience. Dust gathers, grime builds up and wounds appear on your soul. These wounds can never be erased. They are fearful baggage that you carry with you when you go to the spirit world. Therefore, you must work in a revolutionary way to suppress your physical mind and accept the guidance of your conscience. Then you will become a clear, unblemished and clean soul, ready for the day that you make your way forward into the presence of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the revolution of heart? I have said that God created human beings as His children. What, then, is the connection that binds each of you to God? It is the love and heart between parent and child. If there is no communication of heart between parent and child, how can they maintain a relationship of love and respect? Yet human beings, having lived for thousands of years under the influence of the fallen realm, are still slaves in our hearts to false parents, false love, and false lineage. If we are to escape from this yoke, we must constantly live lives of true love, practicing forgiveness and always giving to others. Through this process, we are able to return to the realm of God’s ownership based on heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>If your heartstrings are still tied to selfish, individualistic inclinations, or are in pursuit of the vain glory of the satanic world, you will end up on a path of hopelessness and grief. On the other hand, if you live for the sake of others, always constructive, always seeking to be the first to yield and the first to give, your heart will be tied to the heart of God eternally.</p>
|
||||
<p>In sum, you must completely cut your ties with the false parent, receive the Holy Blessing from the True Parents, who have appeared in this world as the substantiations of the invisible God, and secure Heaven’s true lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Grade Yourself</p>
|
||||
<p>Third, you must scrutinize your own lives every moment of every day. I am sure you all had experiences back when you were in school, looking at a problem on a test paper and not being able to make up your mind whether a particular answer was right or wrong. The same is true with your lives. I am asking you, in the course of your daily lives and faced with innumerable different situations, to analyze and scrutinize each moment as to whether or not you are right or wrong. Grade yourselves, giving yourself an “O” if you are right, or an “X” if you are wrong.</p>
|
||||
<p>Whenever you give yourself an “O,” it means you met the situation in an affirmative and hopeful way. Most likely you set a vertical axis that extends up to heaven, and you lived as at high noon–without casting any shadow. Your life undoubtedly had such depth and breadth that you were able to forgive and embrace even your enemies in the spirit of true love. Whenever you give yourself an “X,” however, it means that you acted shamefully. Possibly your heart was filled with negative elements such as insecurity, irritation, bitterness, and envy. Maybe your mind and thoughts were narrow and intolerant, and you were selfish and individualistic to the point that you did not see what was happening to others around you.</p>
|
||||
<p>I believe that your choice could not be clearer. Every moment of your lives should deserve an “O” grade. You should be like the letter “O,” which is perfectly round and not out of shape in any way. You must come to have the form of an “O,” which forms a 90-degree angle with the center no matter where it is placed. Please lead lives in which you pursue the true “O,” so that you can look at the brightly burning sun and not be ashamed, you can face the vast and infinite universe with honor, and you can stand before all of creation having nothing to hide.</p>
|
||||
<p>An “O” symbolizes harmony, unity and peace. “X” symbolizes death, while “O” symbolizes love and life. When your mind and body become completely one, you will take on the appearance of an “O,” and when your mind and body are in a state of chaos as a result of conflict, your appearance will take on the shape of an “X.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, today humanity has entered the Age after the Coming of Heaven. The realm of true liberation and complete freedom stands before us. This is an unprecedented event in history and one that will never be repeated in the future. Shall we return gratitude and glory to God and True Parents for making this day possible?</p>
|
||||
<p>Now the time has come for humanity to boldly break out of the fallen realm, covered as it is with falsehood and blood as a result of Adam and Eve’s transgression. Let us all rise up with extraordinary determination in response to Heaven’s call.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please give careful thought to the reasons you are here today. Is it simply because you received an invitation from the sponsors, and therefore you came to attend a banquet? Whether you desired it or not, you have been called by Heaven. Just as I suddenly received Heaven’s call as a young man of fifteen and began an eighty-year course of blood, sweat and tears for the sake of bringing true liberation and complete freedom to God, and for the sake of saving humanity from Satan’s yoke, so you also must now go forward determined to offer your lives in order to accomplish God’s exalted will for the liberation and complete establishment of the world transcending religions and nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen! Heavenly fortune is now shining upon this world, as the sun that rises powerfully in the eastern sky. The darkness that has covered this earth for tens of thousands of years has now been dispelled. The heavenly decree has already taken root in your hearts. It is the path–your destiny–that you cannot avoid. Be strong and rise up. The time has come to truly experience the meaning of Jesus’ teaching that whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever is willing to lose his life will find it. All of us without exception, including myself, are bound to go to the spirit world someday. I sincerely ask you to engrave tonight’s message on your heart, that from this time forth you will live a life that will not leave you with any regrets.</p>
|
||||
<p>The heavenly discourse that I have given tonight is my last message to God’s chosen nation, America. I pray that God’s blessings be upon you, your family and this nation of America for all of eternity.</p>

|

February 6, 2003</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected current and former heads of state, leaders from the religious, political and academic worlds, representatives from 189 different countries, representatives from each family, ladies and gentlemen!</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to truly thank all of you who have gathered here to congratulate me on my 83rd birthday and my wife, President Han Hak-ja, on her 60th birthday.</p>
|
||||
<p>But above all else, I would like to return all this glory to God, who has protected and looked after me until this day.</p>
|
||||
<p>My life is such that you cannot explain it without God, and in this truly meaningful place, I would like to speak to all of you today with thanks in my heart. The title of my talk today is, “God’s True Love and the Liberation of the Relationship of Heaven and Earth and Humankind.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Throughout human history, all people have talked a lot about God, or the Absolute Being. They have praised and worshipped Him in many different ways, and in other ways they have felt free to evaluate Him. There have even been some people declaring that there is no God, or that God is dead. However, there has not been one instance in which God Himself appeared directly saying, “This is how I have lived.” There have been many people who have prophesied that, with the development of science, the people who believe in God would disappear. However, the number of people who believe in God in modern society is not diminishing. God is the living origin of all things, the Creator, the True Parent of humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>The God that I have been teaching about is not just some vague or obscure God. From the time I first experienced God at the age of 16, when I was worrying about the meaning of life and the universe, I have lived my whole life in communication with God. The driving force which has preserved my life of suffering, during which I have touched the boundary between life and death, is the living God’s promise and my absolute faith.</p>
|
||||
<p>I searched every corner of the spiritual world. I met the five great holy men and many other saints and sages, and I received their official recognition of my mission. Ladies and Gentlemen! God is the most decent and modest being, and He is the True Parent of humankind. He is the origin of all our lives, and He is the being with whom all people must establish a relationship. Also, the one thing that you all must know clearly is that the spiritual world, the world that we must all someday go to, does exist. You must not doubt the existence of the spiritual world or have some vague belief in God.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have set a record in sponsoring many “God Conferences,” something which has no parallel in history. The first three conferences I held in the 1980’s, attended by representatives from each religion and each denomination, as well as by outstanding theologians and religious scholars, caused a great sensation.</p>
|
||||
<p>There were three main points that I wanted to teach through these conferences: Firstly, that although each religion has its own special and unique character, there are actually many more points in common between religions. Secondly, the conflict and disharmony that exist between religions is due to the narrow-mindedness of the believers themselves, and it is absolutely not the will of the absolute being. Thirdly, God desires the realization of true love rather than any emphasis on belief or ceremony.</p>
|
||||
<p>The papers and discussions that were presented at these conferences are still being used today as a textbook in the top theological seminaries of each denomination. From that time forward, the spirit of sincere dialogue and cooperation between each denomination was begun. Such dialogue and cooperation had hitherto been blocked by the high walls that had been erected between them. Since then I have invested a great amount of money each year to expand the Religious Federation and the Supra-religious Peace Association in each country and throughout the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>For three days, beginning on December 26 last year in Washington D.C., I held a different level of “God Conference.” During that time, under the theme “God and a World of Peace”, 312 participants, including not only religious leaders from all corners of the world, but also representatives from politics, academia, the media, business, culture and the arts, and from various NGOs, gathered together.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is not just the God of believers. He is the God of all people. Especially at this time, we are living in an age in which God stands before the world, not just as some vague and abstract God, but as a God with a definite purpose and will. It is an age of great change in which all people must awaken to this God. It is a time in which all people must awaken to the fact that modern people are buried within the whirlpool of individual, family, national and world-level problems, which will never be solved if God is ignored.</p>
|
||||
<p>At this conference, the 312 participants adopted a resolution that declared the following:</p>
|
||||
<p>Firstly, that they would recognize and establish the God who is the True Parent, True Teacher and True Owner, and the substantial True Parents, as the vertical axis of absolute value for the individual, the family, the nation and the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Secondly, that they would cooperate with and follow the resolution of the five Saints and all the sages in the spiritual world to join together and help people on Earth to bring about the completion of God’s will.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thirdly, that they would actively support and join together with the movement to realize true love, with the movement for the reform of the United Nations, as well as with the other plans of True Parents in order to realize the ideal of a peaceful world.</p>
|
||||
<p>The ultimate purpose of religion is to recover the original father and the original country. The word “religion” does not have humankind as its prime object. Rather, religion is the teaching in which God, the parent, is established as the head. There is a certain course through which we establish a relationship with God and mature in a life of following God. Therefore, holy men and women have to support the will of Heaven and they have to declare what has been preordained by Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>A true religion must teach people about God. A true religion should not have some vague ideas about God; a true religion must be able to give a clear picture of God so that people can understand Him. A religion which makes compromises concerning the relationship between God and man cannot be called a religion of a higher order. That kind of religion will finally decline.</p>
|
||||
<p>A true religion must teach people how to know God clearly, how to become one with God, and how to return to the original world of creation. The purpose of religion is to make a world without sin, the ideal world where we establish the original relationship with God.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is not seeking a religious world, but His ideal world of creation. The purpose of religion is not for the religion itself, but to realize the world of God’s ideal. So we have to think about the purpose and ideal of creation. God created the world, so it is necessary to explain this ideal of creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>What do you think God’s will is? It is to complete His ideal of creation. What do you think that God wanted to achieve through creating our human ancestors, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden? God, who is the essence of love, created humankind because He needed a partner of love.</p>
|
||||
<p>Humans were created as the true sons and daughters of God so that God’s ideal of true love could be realized. They were to grow as a true man and a true woman, then become husband and wife, create an ideal family, and then make an ideal country and world. To repeat once again, centering on the true love of God, they should have perfected the ideal family, expanding this to make the ideal world. But because of the Fall of our human ancestors, God’s ideal of creation was destroyed at that time.</p>
|
||||
<p>Accordingly, the purpose of religion is to find a true person, a true family, a true nation, and a true world, where all people can live together in peace. This is the purpose of God’s Providence for this world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Religion is seeking a “good” world. However, a good world cannot be realized before a good country is first established. And for a good country to appear, there must be first a good race, and before there is a good race, there must first be a good tribe, and before there is a good tribe, there must first be a good family. And before there is a good family, there must first be a good man and a good woman.</p>
|
||||
<p>What was the purpose of the 4,000 years of the history of Israel after the fall of Adam? Externally, it was a time in which the world developed, but internally, the sole purpose of this time period was to find one true child, to find the true Adam. The fact that, due to the Fall, there was not one son or daughter who could inherit the life and blood lineage centering on God’s love, was God’s deepest grief and resentment. Thus, the person who God made again as the owner of true love, life and the blood lineage and sent him to this world is the Savior.</p>
|
||||
<p>According to different points of view, this person has been called the Savior, the Messiah, and the Lord of the Second Advent. He comes as the Savior to rescue all people in this world from poverty, from suffering, from war and from evil, and, centering on the Absolute Being, God’s will for salvation. He is the mediator who will connect all religious people to the way of life. He has been called the Messiah in the first and second Israel, and has been called the Lord of the Second Advent in God’s Providence of Restoration. The names Savior, Messiah, or Lord of the Second Advent have all been used centering on the course of salvation and restoration.</p>
|
||||
<p>Restoring fallen men and women, who have been born and have lived in conflict and in sin through their connection to false parents and false ancestors, to the position they were in before the Fall, does not mean that everything has been accomplished. The will of God and the original hope of humankind is to become the ideal person of the original world of creation and to complete the ideal world of creation. This means that after becoming an individual who has achieved God’s ideal of love, he or she should then become a husband and wife of true love and then become true parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order for this to happen, God absolutely needs the True Parents as the source of God’s true love, true life and true lineage. So, in order to complete God’s Providence of Salvation, it is not one man, the Savior, the Messiah, or the Lord of the Second Advent, who must appear, but it is the True Parents, husband and wife, who resemble God completely and who have completely realized His true love, who must appear. In the same way that God first created Adam and made Adam’s eternal partner by taking a rib from him, God’s son, the restored Adam, must first appear, and then restore Eve, and then, by recreating her, realize the ideal of true love, completing the role of True Parents. The source of humankind’s true love and true life begins from the True Parents and in them is the true model of the ideal of true husband and wife and true parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>Humankind’s sin and suffering originated in the false love of the fallen ancestors, who were born as the fruit of false parents and false ancestors. Accordingly, the only way to complete the ideal and be liberated from the connection to the Fall is through the coming of True Parents. The original ideal of humankind, which has been sought through religion, and that the world has been waiting so eagerly for, are the True Parents, who will fulfill God’s ideal of love.</p>
|
||||
<p>We can say that religion is the place where humans are remodeled. If there had been no Fall, then religion would have been unnecessary. Religion is the way to remodel humans, whose mind and body are in conflict due to the Fall, into becoming peaceful people who will not fight for eternity, but who will become God’s substantial objects. It is where people are changed into original people of true character, resembling God.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we look at our mind and body, the body is the base of the evil spirit Satan and the conscience is the base of God. Generally speaking, the body directs the mind. Religion is the way to attack the body which is controlling our mind, trying to weaken it. Religion teaches that the body is the thing that is to be most disliked. Religion commands us to fast, to serve, to sacrifice ourselves, to go the way of suffering and even to offer our lives for the sake of righteousness. The logic behind the seemingly paradoxical teaching of the Bible, “Those who seek to die will live, and those who seek to live will die”, is that if you live according to the desires of your body, you will go the way of death into hell, but if you kill your body and enter the realm where your conscience is liberated, you will have eternal life and go to the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>The person who is unable to unify his or her mind and body and allows this struggle to continue, will not be able to become accustomed to God’s unified ideal world of love. Usually, people say that if you believe in a particular religion, you will go to Heaven or Paradise. However, Heaven is the place only for God’s children, whose mind and body have become one, centered on God’s love.</p>
|
||||
<p>The love of the fallen world is usually a love centered on oneself, and this is centered not on the mind, but on the body. The body is the devil’s dancing hall. The original mind should take the subject position in place of God, but the body becomes another subject and plays with the original mind as with a puppet. This is what we have to change. Religion is the repair shop which God made to fix this. It is the repair shop which remodels humans into perfect people of true character, whose mind and body are one for eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Religion teaches us not to rest, but to pray unceasingly. The devil doesn’t rest and uses the body as its horizontal stage all 24 hours. As God is in the vertical position, He can only perform His works through the vertical mind. In order for the body not to be controlled by the horizontal body, the mind itself has to stand in the vertical position through prayer and devotion and by doing this it can receive three or four times a greater power from God.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you live a life of sincere prayer and devotion for between three to five years, the mind can be liberated from the body’s horizontal and habitual influence.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, ladies and gentlemen!</p>

<p>Leading a religious life is not something that you can choose to do or not to do. Because fallen men and women were born with a connection to the fallen love and fallen parents centered on Satan, then without exception all people must absolutely pass through the repair shop of religion, meet the True Parents, and establish a connection of True Love and True Life with them.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is one important point you have to know. You should not go to the repair shop and stay there forever, you must emerge reborn. The religious life is the required course for all humankind; however, the religious life itself is not the basic purpose or the whole purpose of life. The ultimate purpose of human life is to complete the religious life, graduating from living a model life to then living a life as a man and woman of the original world of creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Religion came about only because of the Fall, so is it reasonable to say that the sole purpose of life is to live buried within that religion? If there had been no Fall, then how would men and women originally have lived? Humans are originally the children of God. And we should live with true love, realize a true family, and one world of freedom, peace, unity, and happiness. We are supposed to live a life in the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>God did not create men and women to repair them into becoming His reborn children through religion. Where is there a parent who would want to see his children suffer in conflict while repenting of their sins? Do you think that it was the original will of God the Father, who is the Lord of Creation, omniscient and omnipotent, that He would want to let His children live while suffering in sin?</p>
|
||||
<p>The fallen world was not the world that God originally planned. The human ancestors’ disobedience to God caused God to be unable to realize the world that He had originally planned. God is absolute and His will is also absolute. And God will realize His will again. The will is for complete recovery to the original state. This is why God’s Providence of Salvation is the Providence of Restoration, the Providence of Re-creation. Religion is the tool of the Providence of Restoration. People are not just supposed to meet True Parents and go through the course of a religious life; they are supposed to become God’s children and establish the connection of parent and child in their life, and attend God and build a world of a faith, which is shown through their daily life.</p>
|
||||
<p>There has been no one in history who has revealed this precious truth, namely, that humans must graduate from living religious lives. I, who knew God’s truth from an early age, did not want to create another sect or denomination. Christianity, which was the central religion of God’s Providence, did not accept my teaching of Heaven’s way and that is why I had to make the organization, “The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.”</p>
|
||||
<p>It was an association, not another sect or denomination. But even though the Christian world continued to deny, to persecute, to label it as heretical, to turn its face away from us, when our movement started to become bigger, the world began to call us the Unification Church, instead of the long official title. That is how we became the Unification Church. However, from many, many years ago, I have lived in hope of seeing the day when we could take down the church sign, and I even prophesied about that day. Finally, in 1996, we took down the signs and started as “The Family Federation for World Peace.”</p>
|
||||
<p>This was a very important event in the history of humankind. This event was the beginning of a new world which changed the old world, where people lived with the burden of sin inherited from false parents, in suffering and conflict, living a life of faith, in which the only way to find God was through a life of prayer and repentance. It became a world where people could be reborn by receiving the Blessing from the True Parents and by living their lives by just reporting their actions to God.</p>
|
||||
<p>There is no one who can know the course I have had to take in order to follow the command of Heaven and fulfill my mission as the True Parent, breaking down the walls, not just in this world, but also in the spiritual world, giving the grace of the Blessing freely on earth and in Heaven. Do you think it was an easy task to bring Satan, who throughout history has been acting as the false master, controlling people and disobeying God, to surrender?</p>
|
||||
<p>You cannot set up the position of True Parents without first gaining official recognition from Satan. According to the direction of the True Parents, the privilege of the Blessing could reach all the people who were in Satan’s realm of death, and all the people in the spiritual world, and the people on earth could cross over into true love’s realm of life. This kind of miraculous age has begun.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, Together with Heaven’s blessing that has come upon us, humankind must complete the religious life, receive the Blessing of true love, establish a true family, and live life keeping the standard of being true children. Only those who receive the Blessing on this earth and live a life of true love can enter the eternal homeland of the ideal world, namely, God’s country, the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>What do you take with you when you go to the spiritual world? Is it money? Or power? Do you take knowledge or honor with you? These things belong to this world, and you must leave all these things when you enter the higher realm. These things have absolutely no value in the eternal, original world and you cannot take them with you.</p>
|
||||
<p>The spiritual world is the world of love, and the true love that you experience on the earth, especially your life of true love, having received permission through the Blessing from the Parents of Heaven and Earth is the most precious thing and is the only thing that counts in the spiritual world. Please study more deeply about the spiritual world, and, through your life as a blessed couple, become children of God who perfect true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>What I teach is not based on any teachings of man. And I do not educate people by giving them a moral lesson or in any conventional way. I am instructing you by speaking frankly, with words of life, based on God and the Heavenly Way. If God has given the mission of True Parents to me, you should understand that the relationship you have established with me today is most precious and meaningful. Please keep my words today deep within your hearts.</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to end by asking that God’s blessing be with you and your families, that He remain with you in your public lives.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400; text-align: center;">April 5, 2002</p>
|
||||
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Translation by Rev. Jeong Phyo Hong; Unofficial Notes by Tyler Hendricks</h2>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[NOTE: This speech contains what I believe to be a brilliant proposal regarding the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. I hope that we all can consider this proposal and how we might support it and help make it happen.]</strong></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong> </strong></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should take ownership of the report from the 120 Christian saints and Heung Jin Nim’s report, and prepare for life in the spirit world life. If you have knowledge of the spirit world and prepare seriously here, then your life will develop harmoniously here. First, unite your mind and body. Then prepare for registration. If you don’t know, you will be in trouble. There will be an examination there.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Mrs. McDevitt reads Heung Jin Nim’s text.)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<strong>True Father:</strong> You are church and organization leaders. You have a certain responsibility in the organization. You should understand how to achieve success in your area. You have no weapon. We are organized to move on. You participated in the total liberation yesterday, of one heart, one mind, one body. The spirit world tries to get God to directly dominate you and guide what you are going to do. That way we can prepare the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In that way, we can inspire all national leaders, presidents and congressmen to give the Total Living Offering Fund to God. So you should embrace your nation and offer everything to God. That way you will be as you were before the fall and accomplish everything you should through indemnity. Then you will have the right of ownership. At this time, you have no ownership; it is from other people. It is not pure, but satanic. You offer it all back to God, then when God accepts it, True Parents redistribute it representing the three ages. Then it becomes public property that you cannot abuse.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It all should be offered God. There should be no shadow; but the straight shaft of light, 90 degrees. If you move one degree, you create a shadow. It is time to tear down the wall. Then the territory of the authority of the blessed central family [is settled], then your heart and mind are clear and you become a clear citizen of the Cheon Il Guk. The goal is achieved then.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is time to pray and get more strength. You pray that you are not a true blessed central family and that your mind and body are still fighting. You seek the spirit that God had before creation: absolute faith, love and obedience, and then invest totally to create the world. This is then eternal, absolute, unchanging and unique power, and like high pressure moving into low pressure, God’s abundant blessing moves into you.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The universe is huge, 20 billion light years across. It is time to set up these ideas as the ethics of the global family under God. Under that issue of God’s protection, we set up the Chaju Guk, cut off the root of sin, and move to the next age. So now it is time to set up these ideas. That is why I have given you everything, and you need not hesitate at all. I am so and so blessed central family. Then you are in the position of a king and the cabinet ministers will support you in setting up the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Set up the relationship with your children, as parents. Then there will be no more indemnity, no more persecution. It is time to move on to this kind of place. Knowing this fact, it is time for you to go to the top. Even if you visit ministers, meet the top ones. Then encourage them and convey the ideas clearly. That is your responsibility.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Heung Jin Nim is general of the spirit world. It is the time for total liberation from indemnity. That is why we have Heung Jin Nim’s report. If you don’t believe it, you will be judged. Whenever the spirit world message…</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Today begins a new tradition, of those who can totally unite the physical world, the spirit world and your ancestors. This is their time to support you, wherever you go. Then you can bring the victory and give glory to God. I pray for you, amen.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This morning I have stated these things. Carefully listen and put them into your heart, mind and body. Then, everything will be possible. In your mind, even any piece of doubt should be eliminated. Move on toward absolute faith, and you will bring the victory. Have no quarrel of mind and body; absolutely understand this. Let’s go back to Heung Jin Nim’s report. He is the general of the spirit world, the great elder brother.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">How about American people? What is your nationality? [Cheon Il Guk!] Don’t say you are American, or Japanese. You are a citizen of Cheon Il Guk. Forget your degree; some use degrees to abuse other people. You are children receiving love from parents. Work for the sake of the nation, world and Heavenly Father, and the animal, mineral and insect world. Have that kind of heart.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">[Continuing with Heung Jin Nim’s message from January 1, 2002.]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>True Father:</strong> It is similar to just after World War 2, so this is a crucial time and we have to accomplish the will of God by 2010 or 2012. So you have to migrate back to your hometown and find our own nation, especially in the 2<sup>nd</sup> Israel, America. Leaders will stand up, at the UN, and we have to renew the UN, where we have worked the last couple of years. Now the time is ripe; the time is up, to go back to the original nation, centering on the chosen people. All satanic nations should support the true nation.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is like a war to find our own nation. Please understand South Korea and North Korea, that were divided, north and south, east and west. We have to bring it back. It is time for exchange marriage, to tear down the walls on the family level. We have to exchange Satan’s blood lineage and set up the realm of liberation. Set up each person in different stages. Unite heaven and earth, there are no different levels here. Total indemnity and liberation. Now Satan has stepped back and is even supporting God’s providence. The blessed central family should stand on the frontline, in Abel’s position to find God’s sovereign nation.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In an army, your background doesn’t matter. An army has an order and a spirit of absolute faith, love and obedience. Move forward on the foundation of the victory of the parents of heaven and earth. I prepared and paved the way, so you can run and move on. I made the tunnels, so now you can move at the speed of your car. You can prepare in order to move at a faster speed. The spirit world will support the blessed central family, and True Parents’ love for the sake of others. It is time for settlement; the settlement is the nation.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But we have no nation or world. We are stuck. What can we do to open the way? Each continent should compete with each other to move forward and bring God’s ownership to settle there. It is time to unify South Korea and North Korea. All the patriots are spread all over the world. Divided, they have no power. It has been this way since 1945. The North deceived Russia to get power.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why the Christian churches and leaders are against True Parents. The time is up for that. By bringing other Christian ministers, they can receive forgiveness from God. This is the first true spring in human history. There is no Satan around; whatever you want to do, you can achieve. You can influence leaders, such as the governor and congressmen in your state. They can come to DC (on the 27<sup>th</sup>) and then go back and influence America to build God’s fatherland.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Everyday, think in your mind about how to expand my ideas and apply them. You didn’t go the indemnity history, but I did, and you are the 2<sup>nd</sup> True Parents and can go and expand God’s territory. You can gather people in, and later they will understand it. Even an evil man can do a simple thing. It is recreation. You can be in the position of owner and connect all things to God and True Parents. It is time to offer everything to God, to achieve the goal.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is the time to march on with the authority of princes and princesses. You have the authority to clean up the unexpected things. Have one heart, one mind, and one body. You have this responsibility and spirit world is watching you. What is your desire? It is to offer America. It is a nation into which you and many immigrated to form a country. You are the Protestant children.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Centered on True Parents, it is time for settlement on earth. That was the purpose of yesterday’s ceremony. Yesterday was Daemo Nim’s birthday, 89-90 years old. Hoonmo Nim is united with her. It was the total liberation of 6,000 years of providential history. You must accomplish the total living offering fund. The material things are not yours.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We did not yet offer the nation to God. True Parents and Heung Jin Nim are in the same position as God and Adam. It is time to offer the family. The family must be united. Did you make such a happy family, with the four realms of heart and three kingships? You should try to accomplish the Family Pledge. You should live for the sake of others and accomplish the world of <em>shimjung</em> culture. Then we enter the new Completed Testament Age, based on absolute faith, love and obedience.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I am thinking about rebuilding the World Trade Center, centering on the religious leaders. Each nation should collect a fund from the people to pay for the rebuilding. The world’s religious leaders should do this, in the name of WANGO. Then, if it is built by the whole world, who will destroy it or hate it? It will be a symbol of peace and the whole universe. Then the government will support 70%, and (?) 30%. Do it quickly!! The five races will equalize through this activity, including all continents. Before God created Adam and Eve, he created the universe. Don’t worry if we have no money; money is there. Rebuild the World Trade Center, centered on the religious leaders.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">America owes me billions of dollars. Rev. Jenkins, when will you pay it back? [Now! Everyday!] I haven’t seen the money.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Tarrytown means “tell town”, which means the “speaking town” that will tell the world about True Parents because I lived here. I bought land here for a university, to connect with UTS. But we have UB, so we can sell this land and use the proceeds, for example, to help the young people through a school in Hawai’i.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p>Among the National Messiahs, who among you graduated from UTS? (one—Kim, Ki Hoon, I think) Who paid for it? Yourself, or the church? Who has children over 18? Send your first child to UTS to study theology. If you don’t, you are not qualified. When you go to your continent, go to the bottom and witness to the people. Show how True Parents do it. For that reason, go to UTS. Hyun Jin Nim and Jun Sook Nim graduated from UTS. You were first and second in your class—you were too good. But you did a good job.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I authorized the church to give a scholarship to 36 Christians to support their study. Over 1,000 students of our own church received scholarships, so now it is time to support members of other churches. You should study!</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Father asks everyone if they have the Unification Thought book, and another book—a textbook about Unification Thought (I think from Dr. Choi at UB.) I am comparing the two books—Dr. Lee’s and Dr. Choi’s. I compared and asked him to make a correction. Dr. Lee’s book is very thin. You can sit down in the bathroom and read it cover to cover in 10 or 15 minutes. If you study it and make a system, logical and clear, you can move people’s hearts.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">No one thought or dreamed about a woman being the president of Sun Moon University. I asked all Japanese members to offer everything to this providence. They are keeping close track and they become the benefactors of Sun Moon University, to make it a great university. It is not easy to be in the position of the mother nation.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If we restore America, we can influence the world. There is only the skeleton of the Christian spirit left here. [End of notes; I had to leave before it was over.]

World Summit Conference Banquet</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected former heads of state, religious, political and academic leaders who have gathered from around the world, diplomatic representatives, and eminent leaders from Korea.</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to begin by congratulating you on the results you have achieved for world peace through the Summit Conference, and I would like to convey deep appreciation for your many expressions of congratulations on this occasion of President Hak Ja Han’s and my birthdays. I would like to offer all of this glory to God who has protected us until today.</p>
|
||||
<p>On this meaningful occasion, I would like to share with you my convictions about realizing a peaceful world. In view of our hope for world peace, there has never been a time when understanding between religions and reconciliation between religious people were more urgent than it is today. The precious teachings of our religions are the source of the wisdom that has brightened human history. But religious people of all faiths tend to have three weaknesses. One, they are not realistic but are oriented toward the hereafter; two, they can be narrow-minded and sectarian; and three, they can be fanatical.</p>
|
||||
<p>Religious leaders must be able to embrace all people with open minds. The real duty of all religious people is to overcome the lines of division crippling the human race, in particular the walls between religions. Religions do not exist for the sake of their own success or for the salvation of their believers alone; they exist in order to accomplish the Will of God. Religious people must never be narrow-minded or seek their own gratification. When one lives with a loving heart, all walls are broken down. The great founders of all the religions understood this and tried to accomplish this ideal. God is the origin of true love. Because the generic character of true love unconditionally seeks to live for another, true love always seeks a reciprocal partner.</p>
|
||||
<p>It is in relation to this point that we can properly understand God’s motivation for creation and purpose of creation understood. God brought forth the created world as His reciprocal partner for true love. In all the creation, human beings were set apart as His closest reciprocal partners of love; that is to say, as His children. The first person, Adam, was not just an individual; he was also to have been the origin of the family, tribe, people, nation, world and cosmos of true love. God’s ideal of creation was an ideal of harmony and unification in which each person lived for a reciprocal partner in a realm of true love. But before this ideal of true love was realized, the ancestor of humankind disobeyed God during his time of growth to maturity and fell through false love.</p>
|
||||
<p>Through the fall, trouble began between God and humankind. Confrontations and conflicts ensued between God and Satan, between people and Satan and among people. The fact that there have been many different nations and many conflicts bears witness to this truth. We can find the beginning point of an ideal world only through a movement that is able to overcome and go beyond the origin of these myriad conflicts. The way to resolve conflicts and struggles is altruistic and sacrificial love, that is to say, “life for the sake of others.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The realization of the ideal nation of God begins with individuals who think they should love their enemies. The way to win over enemies is not through superior strength. It is only possible through the power of true love which embraces even one’s enemies. If you plant soy beans, soy beans grow; if you plant red beans, red beans grow, and if you plant the seeds from red flowers, red flowers blossom. In the same way, if you sow the seeds of Satan which seek revenge, a tree of revenge will grow, and if you sow the seeds of goodness which loves its enemies, a tree of goodness which loves its enemies will grow.</p>
|
||||
<p>If a nation that consists of people who have a mind to love their enemies comes into existence, that nation could become the ideal land that God desires. It could become the ideal model that humankind could follow. For the last thirty years, without resting, I have been devoting myself completely to solving the problems of America such as the breakdown of the family, sexual immorality, the decadence of youth, the fall of morality, and the decline of Christianity. In spite of my many efforts, Americans, including many Christians, misunderstood me, persecuted me, and even imprisoned me. The negative attitudes and vicious slander against me continued unabated. But I refused to be caught in negative feelings of hatred or resentment, and I have continued to live a life of love in which I gave consistently to those who persecuted me.</p>
|
||||
<p>No matter what situation I may be in, in the deepest part of my heart, I consider God’s love and will as most important. Because of this, as time passed, more and more Americans and especially Christians realized anew the value of my teachings and life, and I can see that they are changing their minds about me. In a public speech I directly told them, “Christians must respond to their mission to realize the will of God who is their true root.” Christians must change their attitudes and their ways of life. The founder of Christianity taught, “Love your enemy.” If Christians fail to fulfill this basic principle, the only path for them will be one of decline. If that happens, it will be because they left the sacred laws in the teachings of Jesus that give us true freedom.</p>
|
||||
<p>If the Muslims and the leaders of other religions as well are able to realize a higher level of love in terms of morality and in terms of living for others, their enemies could be subjugated through the mighty power of true love rather than through external strength. I have always told the leaders of the Western world that they must not disregard or overlook the 1.3 billion Muslims or the 3.4 billion Asians, or the people of other religions throughout the world. If America fails to understand the meaning of the existence of these parts of the great human family, how can we anticipate that America will build a better future and realize a world of peace for our descendents?</p>
|
||||
<p>For the same reason, how can the Islamic world or the people of other religions look down upon or overlook the importance of the Christian culture in the West? If we look down on each other or disregard each other, then there is no hope for us. All the religious leaders must become leaders in a worldwide movement to realize a higher love that embraces other religions and societies. This is the lofty teaching of the founders of all religions. What is the direction that God’s will and history is calling for? The ultimate ideal of God is a world that is peaceful and unified through true love, a world transcending religion, race, and nationality, in other words, the realization of “one family of humankind.”</p>
|
||||
<p>The goal of God is not the victory of one religion or one ideology; it is the realization of a world of love in which all people live in peace, unity and joy. In view of the external tendency towards unification through the technological and physical development of modern society, it is the responsibility of the religions to lead the way to the realization of an internal harmony and unification.</p>
|
||||
<p>Religions should take the lead and provide the example in this work. History is calling for the harmony and cooperation of the religious world. This should not be delayed. It is the holy will of God. If that is not accomplished, religions will decline. Throughout my whole life, I have taught based upon my direct experience of the heart of God and the will He hopes to accomplish.</p>
|
||||
<p>What I teach is by no means a speculative theory. God is alive and working in history. It is just that through the fall, human beings lost their original position, and without being able to perceive God completely, they have lived in sin and strife. Although God is omnipotent and perfect, when He has no appropriate reciprocal partner, He can not fully express His omnipotence. After our first ancestor disobeyed God, God lost the foundation of goodness to which He could relate. Accordingly, His goodness and absolute power could not be expressed, but history nonetheless went forward.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is carrying out the providence to restore His position and heavenly will by restoring humankind to its original state. To restore the ideal of true love, true parents, and true family that the first ancestor of humankind could not accomplish, God is carrying out the providence by establishing people with missions as the second Adam and the third Adam. I was called early by God, and my mission as the True Parent, is connected to these kinds of providential conditions.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders!</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like to ask you to take deep interest in the prophecy that I am about to make. Humankind is at a turning point. This era is that long-awaited time in which the power of God will become manifest in our lives, even though He is invisible and has seemed almost powerless and nonexistent in the past. The time has come when the absolute power of God, who is the Lord of the holy order and laws which really do exist in all things and in the universe, will manifest in amazing ways and be experienced by people in their daily lives.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is a miraculous event that is possible because a solid reciprocal foundation of goodness has been established based on the sacrifices and unconditional love of God, True Parents and righteous people throughout history. From now on, humankind will gradually come to perceive God and to understand the spirit world and the works of spirit people. People will become conscious of their internal person which is called their spirit self, and their spirituality will develop.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this way, humankind will naturally experience the laws of the universe, and become true people through a clear change in character. Through this, people will learn that the existing order of the universe and the relationships of humankind were not made to be centered on oneself or self-interest; rather, they were made to live for the sake of others altruistically. God’s ideal of peace in the original creation is an ideal of unification. The existing world itself is made through an ideal of reciprocal partners. It is based on the premise of harmony and unification. No ideal of peace can be realized by neglecting or giving sorrow to one’s reciprocal partner.</p>
|
||||
<p>When the relationships extending above and below, front and back, right and left throughout the spirit world and physical world all realize harmony and unification and realize the ideal of true love that works by living for the sake of others, complete peace will be realized. Accordingly, God’s happiness and joy will be attained together with the happiness and joy of his reciprocal partners, human beings. Furthermore, the individual purposes of all created entities are to be realized in relation to a larger purpose, that is, a public purpose. The order of the entire universe is set so that through the connection of these dual purposes a great harmony and unity is to be established.</p>
|
||||
<p>But through the fall, human beings, who betrayed God and fell into ignorance, have lived disobeying the original order of existence under the dominion of selfish greed which is the fallen nature. People have lived stressing their private things more than public things, and their own private purposes more than public purposes. The result is self-evident. They could not guarantee continuing freedom, peace or happiness. People who have gone forward struggling with and confronting others while pursuing enjoyment centered on themselves, on physical things and on external strength, are now miserably bogged down in unhappiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now is the time when people must reflect on themselves and listen to the voice coming from Heaven. Through the benefit of the providence, the living God has now drawn near to us. From now on, people will have many spiritual experiences that they could not have earlier. That is to say, they will communicate with the transcendent world. Through these frequent spiritual experiences, people will be influenced directly and indirectly. Especially people who experience the inspiration of God and good spirits will have their spiritual senses developed centered on God, and they will experience major changes in their personalities. People who change their personalities in this way to fit the way of heaven are the true people for whom God has been hoping.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must all accomplish the true love that liberates us to love our enemies, become true persons who properly understand the spirit world, become true parents, and establish true families. This personal transformation is the starting point of the world of peace. This is the starting point of the ideal nation God desires. For the person who is not able to establish a harmonious, ideal family life by becoming an incarnation of true love, there can be no ideal world or ideal nation in which he can live happily, singing songs of peace and joy. The ideal fatherland that God desires will be realized through the way of loving one’s enemies. It will be realized where the tradition of loving the enemies of one’s self, of one’s family, one’s tribe, one’s nation and the entire world is established. Many people are hoping that the United Nations will solve the problems of the world and be able to establish world peace. It is granted that the UN operated under some restrictions, but by failing to recognize the importance of religions and spirituality altogether, it chose a path that could not but compromise its influence. The result is that in analyzing the problems of the present reality and in trying to solve them, the UN has been leaning to one side. If this continues, the UN will not be able to realize the purpose for which it was founded, and its relevance will diminish in the future.</p>
|
||||
<p>In order to realize the ideal of a world of peace in a fundamental and comprehensive manner, I once again advocate that the United Nations establish an assembly consisting of representatives from all religions. At that time, the representatives must implement the central ideal that their founders sought to realize, and they must do it with wisdom, exemplifying in their personalities a true love that can serve as a model for everyone. I hope that many leaders will take this matter seriously and continue to strive to establish an assembly of global religious and spiritual leaders within the UN.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have worked without ceasing my entire life for the sake of realizing the one nation in Heaven and on earth that is the will of the true love of God. During that time I have taught the leaders not only of the religious world, but also of the worlds of government, philosophy, academia, business, media, and non-governmental organizations that we must “live for the sake of others.” I did not teach concepts alone, but I led the way and provided the example.</p>
|
||||
<p>On that worldwide foundation, I established the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, and appointed Ambassadors for Peace throughout the world. That was in order to cultivate leaders who will realize the world of peace and harmony by eliminating the boundaries that cause conflict and struggle and by serving as living examples of altruistic true love. In addition, I am building “Peace Embassies” in every nation of the world as bases for our peace movement and our service movement, and as educational centers to teach and accomplish the vision and wisdom that our IIFWP advocates.</p>
|
||||
<p>I earnestly request that you leaders recreate your families and nations through true love. I hope that you will support and help to accomplish the vision of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, which is working so hard to establish the true, everlasting world of peace that God desires, a world without national boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p>Hoping that this conference has provided you with productive and inspiring experiences that will lead to the world of peace being realized even sooner, I conclude my address.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">October 15, 2003<br />
|

Seoul, Korea</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected and distinguished guests:</p>
|
||||
<p>Wherever we look today — ahead or behind, left or right, to the east or west, south or north — we see a world of hopelessness filled with war and disease, racial conflict and religious struggle, and immorality and corruption. With more than 200 countries, large and small, scattered across the five oceans and six continents of the world, and struggling against each other, which country could possibly solve the problems humanity faces today? What has happened to the United Nations, which set out some fifty years ago as a model for peaceful world governance? It has become a forum only for people suffering from extreme selfishness who are slaves to political power relationships and are frantically pursuing the interests of their own countries. It has become so crippled that it is incapable of taking even one step forward. It is not just incapable of bringing about world peace; the United Nations can neither present solutions nor offer hope in response to the totally unpredictable situations confronting the world today.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, as I stand here today, my heart is filled with excitement and inspiration. Let us all first give thanks to God. A new day of hope is dawning for humanity. The dawning of the peaceful Cheon Il Guk <a href="http://www.unification.net/2003/20031015_1.html#1"><sup>1</sup></a> (God’s Kingdom), where His grace and love will shine on all the world, is being announced with a great cry that is shaking the Earth to its core. Today, I would like to convey to you one part of God’s Word for all people living in this age, by speaking on the topic, <i>“Let Us Perfect the Peace Kingdom through the Peace United Nations.”</i> <a href="http://www.unification.net/2003/20031015_1.html#2"><sup>2</sup></a></p>

||||
<h3>Humankind at the Meeting Point of Good and Evil</h3>
|
||||
<p>Over six billion people are living in the world today, but no one has clear knowledge about the origin of humankind. History began through some indistinct process — whether it was good or bad, we don’t know. That history has continued to the point where today the world’s population exceeds six billion. Since the origin and process are unclear, the end can only be unclear as well. Thus, in the world today, we see continuous disorder and confusion. If humanity had found the correct path in the beginning, we would have traveled on a one-way path to the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, without any confusion or disorder. The fate of humankind, after losing sight of this one-way path as a result of the Fall, however, has been to drift down the river of history as something good at times while evil at other times, rising at times while falling at other times.</p>
|
||||
<p>Why would a path that human beings traveled in goodness suddenly start to go downhill? We did not want to go downhill, yet went down nevertheless. This is the issue. We wanted goodness to continue, but we went down. Why would goodness decline? When human life violates the absolute, fundamental principles of goodness, it will deteriorate. What does this mean? It indicates an intersection of good and evil. All kings and presidents in this world live without any knowledge of when their sovereignty will rise or fall. All sovereigns want things to be good forever. Any sovereign who is not in harmony with or aligned with the standard of true goodness, however, will certainly be defeated and perish.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who, then, is in charge of good and evil? We know that even the most powerful royal dynasty cannot influence good and evil by its supremacy. In other words, no sovereign, on his or her own, can adjust good and evil according to his or her own wishes. We cannot deny that good and evil are determined by some unseen power lying in the background.</p>
|
||||
<p>Each nation has its own laws. National laws exist to establish goodness. Each nation’s constitution was enacted for the purpose of safeguarding goodness, and there are no laws that were established for the purpose of destroying goodness. That is why anyone who breaks a nation’s laws is sent to prison. The problem, though, is that in any given country the standard of goodness can be applied incorrectly, depending on the temperament of the sovereign. That is the reason that humankind has always languished at the crossroads of two paths until this day, with one path leading to prosperity and the other to ruin.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Universe Protects United Subject and Object Partners</h3>
|
||||
<p>Human beings have a dual structure. The mind is a “positive” (plus) standing on the side of Heaven, and the body is a “negative” (minus) standing on the side of Satan. Mind and body were originally intended to form a complete oneness automatically, but this did not happen because of the Fall of our original ancestors. Instead, the body attempted to take the position of another positive, and this brought mind and body into mutual contradiction. Ultimately, this led to Satan conquering the human body. By means of the Fall, Satan took the bond of love, connected humanity to the satanic lineage, and let human beings multiply themselves. This is the problem. This struggle between mind and body has become a chronic ailment more terrible than cancer or AIDS. That is why we must, no matter what the cost, push the body back into the position of negative. By the law of the universe, poles with the same charge repel each other. When a pair of subject and object partners forms a complete oneness, however, they receive heavenly fortune and the universe automatically protects them.</p>
|
||||
<h3>An Absolute Subject Entity Gives Rise to an Absolute Partner</h3>
|
||||
<p>If there is an absolute subject entity, an absolutely objective entity that is a partner to that subject entity, will come into being. This can be seen in the course of my life. America and the entire world stood in opposition to my life as absolute subject, which began when I received Heaven’s command. Yet, the side that struck the absolute subject eventually became the negative realm and was absorbed. This is because anyone who receives opposition while standing on the side of goodness is protected by his or her surroundings, that is, the universe. It is because I knew this principle with certainty that I was able to fight and win in the struggles involving individuals, the struggles involving nations, and the struggles involving the world. We see in history that God always proceeded in the direction consistent with fundamental principles, that is, toward the purpose of true love, but that the Devil has used forces opposed to this to establish himself as a destructive enemy power. Satan struck the first blow by causing the first human ancestors to commit the Fall, and he has come to control families, tribes, nations, and the world. The first people to go to hell were the first ancestors of humanity, Adam and Eve. They could not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Please understand that the created world first came to be occupied by the satanic realm.</p>
|
||||
<p>What, then, is the Devil? He is a being who attempts to take God’s people, make them his own and control them. He is a shameless criminal who kidnapped someone else’s child, turned that child into his own, and then tried to claim legitimate ownership of that child. Now he is worried that all his sin may be exposed and that he will lose everything, so he sits blocking the plans for the future that God, the author of Creation, is being led by His conscience to carry out. In so doing he is blocking the liberation of God and humanity. He has occupied the bodies of all human beings, and has completely spoiled love, which God considers of such importance that He treats it as His first ideal. The free sex that you see in the world today is an example of this. The Devil creates confusion on the path of love, and prevents us from exercising total control over our consciences. These are two of Satan’s strategies and tactics.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, free sex is Satan’s trap. People in the world who have a lot of money are falling into the trap Satan dug for them because of their riches. These people enjoy sensual pleasures, but they are dying. To establish his defensive line, Satan gives material blessings to evil people, so that they can never escape from the quagmire of moral decadence. You need to understand that alcohol, tobacco, drug abuse and free sex are Satan’s four main weapons. Satan uses these to put people into a stupor of carnal satisfaction, and then he has them board the train to hell. This is the reason I teach that people must stop this tragic advance into hell, become true people who are not accused by their own consciences, and return to the life of true love. This is the only way that people can make their mind and body one and board the train to heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Despite indescribable opposition and persecution, I have lived my life of more than 80 years walking the path of sacrifice, at times at the risk of death, to realize peace through the recovery of true love. I have never faltered, not even for a moment. Even when Satan threatened to kill me, I maintained an absolute “plus” position and overcame everything. This made it possible for me to acquire the absolute “minus.” In a word, it has been a life of following the original fundamental principles of Creation.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Absolute Necessity of True Parents</h3>
|
||||
<p>I have lived according to the fundamental laws of the universe. I am a single-minded man who has walked Heaven’s path, absolutely refusing to compromise even in the midst of the worst hardship and adversity. I could do this, because I knew for a certainty from the outset that when I have followed this path to the position of the victor, God and all of creation will greet me with joyful cheers.</p>
|
||||
<p>Satan has always mocked Heaven and me, and boasted of his domain of power: “My weapons will never rust. Even the omniscient and omnipotent Creator God cannot defeat me in this fight. See how the side that is focused on the body completely tramples the conscience. Love has been completely degraded, just as I planned. Has this not become a world of fun, where grandfathers pair with granddaughters and sons with mothers? How can such a world of evil ever be reestablished as God’s ideal world? Who could accomplish such a task?”</p>
|
||||
<p>God, though, has shouted back in this way: “Just a moment, Satan! Isn’t it true that through the active work of Rev. Moon, the True Parent, true love’s realm of influence in the earthly world is increasing? The True Parent is the owner of true love. He is the king of true love. Satan, is it not true that you are helpless in the presence of true love?”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, how are we to restore true love? This is the responsibility of the True Parent. The True Parent must establish the original world where the conscience is always victorious, that is, the world of absolute goodness that is most treasured by humanity. The secret for accomplishing this is simple. When faced with True Parents, true love, true life, and true lineage, the false parent, Satan, is completely helpless, no matter how much he may kick and struggle. To align ourselves completely with God’s Will, God and human beings must form eternal relationships as subject and object partners, centered on true love. Satan has no way to wedge himself into such eternal relationships. When you begin to live by altruistic true love, you will receive the Holy Marriage Blessing and be connected to the true lineage. Then your eternal life will be assured. True love, true life, and true lineage will expand eternally through your descendants. True Parents are absolutely necessary in this process.</p>
|
||||
<p>All people without exception are descended from the Fall. As a result of the Fall, we have become like those whose eyes look normal but who are actually blind. Can the blind save the blind? Someone sent directly by God must come. This person must be someone who stands in a position unrelated to the Fall, closely examines the world, and has the ability to save humanity from the path of death. I have come in that precise position. God sent me with His seal of approval as the Savior of humanity, the Messiah, the returning Lord, and the True Parent. Humanity needs only to restore the absolute realm of the conscience by following the teachings of the True Parent. Then, absolute ownership will also be recovered. The realms of absolute love, absolute life, and absolute lineage will also be recovered.</p>
|
||||
<p>You must first find the path leading to oneness with God. How is this possible? Where does the foundation of love for the sake of others originate? It originates with your love organ. Your reproductive organ is your palace of love, palace of life, and palace of lineage. Until now, humanity has lived without knowing the truth that it is through the love organ that bonds of life are created, love is realized, and the connection of lineage is established. Now we see that no truth is more precious than this. Satan has controlled humankind for thousands and tens of thousands of years by means of the reproductive organ. He turned things around 180 degrees in order to bring about the human Fall. If the Fall had not occurred, there would be no need for such words as “Savior,” “Messiah,” “Lord of the Second Advent,” and “True Parent.” Because the True Parents of humankind have returned to this earth, humanity can now be liberated from Satan’s yoke. It has become possible to recover all that was lost through the Fall. Through the original mind, it has become possible to recover the original value of human beings. We can accomplish a worldwide realm of absolute goodness that will not tilt toward Satan ever again.</p>

<h3>Inherit the True Parents’ Realm of Victory and Become Tribal Messiahs</h3>
|
||||
<p>What does the True Parents’ realm of victory mean? It means that complete victory has been achieved in the fight against Satan. Victory was achieved in the realm of individuals. There was victory on the level of families. Complete victory was achieved on the level of tribes, societies, nations, and the world. It was a steep path that was never easy. I overcame every difficulty and won the victory however, and on January 13, 2001, I dedicated to Heaven “The Coronation Ceremony for the Kingship of God,” which accomplished the miracle of liberating even God. On the world level, I am also the one who is rooting out communism and pouring life into Christianity in America. This is a part of the True Parent’s responsibility. The True Parent forgives with true love and embraces even the collapsed communist countries. I am liberating and pouring life into the communist realm.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, beginning some ten years ago, I have been commanding all blessed families to become tribal messiahs. This means they must become the new ancestors of their tribes. All your ancestors throughout history have cherished the hope and earnest desire for tribal messiahs. The True Parents who have won all the victories as the Messiah of humankind bequeath to you their foundation, and on this foundation you must become victorious messiahs on the tribal level. Families who have received the holy marriage blessing from me and have joined the ranks of blessed families must now become leaders who guide the world and saviors who save humanity as tribal messiahs. You must become devoted children and patriots who erase the grief of God, who has been waiting for this time for thousands and tens of thousands of years. You will work in all countries of the world as the vanguard, expanding the realm of victory gained by True Parents, who have been victorious over Satan’s vicious opposition and persecution and have now bequeathed everything to you. You will liberate the world and establish it anew before Heaven. In relation to the Messiah of humankind, a tribal messiah is like a branch growing from the main trunk. When leaves sprout, blossoms bloom, and fruit ripens on these branch messiahs, that fruit will possess 100 percent of the value of the original Messiah. You will advance into the realm of protection, where good spirits can protect you.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Refugees Who Lost Their Homeland</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, humanity is in a position of having to recover its homeland. A person who temporarily leaves his homeland can return, but a person who has lost his homeland cannot return whenever he chooses. At the moment that history began, we lost our homeland. We were expelled and have lived as nomads. We have not been in a position to return, and we have not even known the way back. So we have lived as wanderers without a homeland, roaming aimlessly for thousands of years. Those who came alone from North Korea as refugees and now live as people without a homeland will know this mortifying and weary life. All your friends, siblings, and even your parents were taken from you. You know your homeland exists, but it is not a homeland that you can go to anytime you choose. You don’t even know the way there. People in this position must carry on their lives under extreme circumstances. It is a position of extreme sadness, where you must start from point zero and build a new life for yourself without the benefit of any foundation. Even if you have the good fortune to become rich and become prominent in society during your life as a refugee, nothing can take away the sad longing, deep in your heart, to return to your homeland.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the same way, people who have become lonely orphans as a result of the Fall, committed by the original ancestors, have lived until now in the pitiful position of people who have lost their homeland. God, who is the owner of our homeland, solemnly waits for our return, but until now we have lived without even the desire to return. We have become such a shameful sight that we dare not even lift our heads before heaven and earth. During the course of the world’s population expanding to more than six billion, people have experienced such misery in their lives as to be unable to discern night from day. The feeling in God’s heart must surely leave Him unable to speak as He looks upon the distress His children are in. When a child meets with tragedy, no one feels more sorrow and pain than the parents. God created us as His children.</p>
|
||||
<p>What, then, is God’s heartfelt desire? It is to liberate His children by any means possible, so they can find their way back to their homeland. Religion is God’s strategy to open this way. Through religious movements, He laid a foundation so that we could return to the homeland together, transcending our various environments, languages, cultures, ethnic backgrounds, ideologies, systems, and philosophies. He has countless times come to see the situations in which each of you lives. He waits anxiously for the day when you can return to your homeland.</p>
|
||||
<p>You must understand that God is the vertical True Parent who has conducted His providence in ways that were appropriate to each historical period and culture. He did not do all this for the benefit of any particular religious body or any particular country. It was a manifestation of God’s true love for the sake of your liberation. It was an effort to lay a bridge that would allow you to return to your homeland in freedom. So please remember that you each stand in the position of representing not only your families but also your country and all of humanity, and even all your ancestors in spiritual world and all the descendants who will be born in the future. We must achieve this precious, liberated state and fulfill our responsibilities before Heaven and humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>We have such longing for our homeland, because there is love there that exists for our sakes. The love of our mother and father, of our older brother and sister and of our younger siblings, the love of our wife and children and of our relatives can be found everywhere in the homeland. In the homeland, all these relationships and bonds are connected in altruistic love; we want to embrace them all at once. The traveler who yearns for his homeland longs to return home as a proud liberated person, so that he can embrace the mountains, rivers, grass, and trees, give love to his family and relatives, and sing joyous songs. Having been vanquished and expelled from the homeland, and having lost the connection of heart rooted in their homeland, people have been unable to return and have been doomed to wander through eternity on a lonely path until eventually going to hell. Now, however, we can be liberated, and the path to the homeland that we can never forget, even in our dreams, has been cleared. This is surely the day of greatest blessing for humanity. You are going to recover the homeland lost by Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Family of Four Generations Living in Harmony</h3>
|
||||
<p>When you go to your homeland, you do so in the position of the perfected Adam, the perfected Jesus, and in the position of a representative of the returning Lord. God will reside in your family. The four generations of grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren will live together in harmony. The grandfather must be attended as the ancestral root. The root of history lives in such a family, and the root of the heavenly kingdom extends itself into such a family. This would be a family where the Kingdom of God on earth has taken root. Also, the root of the kingship that will continue forever will be put down in such a family. The roots of the past, present, and future are represented by the grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, respectively. The root of the past represents the spirit world, the root of the present is a palace representing the present world, and the root of the future will establish the grandchildren as princes and princesses living in a palace of peace representing the two worlds — that is, the spirit world and physical world. The mission of the tribal messiah is to establish the families of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk, where four generations — grandparents, parents, children, and the children’s children — live as one family that is attending the eternal God. This is also God’s heartfelt desire. The mission is to establish families that God, if He were to go to another land, would want to return to. It is to prepare families where God can feel comfortable visiting anytime, just as a parent would visit the home of a child. That is a life of service to God. In such a family, God becomes, vertically, the subject being of conscience. Your own mind will follow this vertical subject being and bring your mind and body into unity as your own vertical subject being. In this situation, parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and sibling love — that is, the four great realms of love, or four great realms of the heart — will be perfected. This is how a family must be in order to exist eternally through continuous spherical movement connecting up and down, front and back, and left and right as one.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, why is it necessary to marry? We marry in order to obtain the position of owner. A man or woman alone can only be half a person. That is how it works in God’s Creation. That is why God separated the ownership and placement of the reproductive organs, which are the love organs. The husband is the owner of the wife’s reproductive organ, and the wife is the owner of the husband’s reproductive organ. If they are to establish themselves as each other’s owner, they each must stand centering on a love that is for the sake of their partner. It is to obtain this position of ownership that people marry. For what purpose, then, do we want to obtain the position of owner? It is to use that position to occupy God. God is the subject being of the three great loves. As the owner of the cosmos, He is the teacher of true love, owner of true love, and parent of true love. These are the true “three great subject ideas.” All these teachings and truths will be realized centering on the lives of true families. When they are expanded, societies, nations, and even the world and cosmos can be changed to form the Peace Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>The tribal messiah who returns to his or her homeland must have an imposing and resolute demeanor. There can be no complaining. It is our destiny to go this way, even if we must go weeping bitterly. Those who understand the circumstances of the Father — how for thousands and tens of thousands of years He waited with a heart filled with grief for the loss of His children — cannot travel this path without shedding tears. Your steps, as you go to plant the seeds of love, must be filled with hope. Once these seeds of true love are planted, no one will be able to steal them. They are the seeds of the heart of true love. The families and countries where these seeds sprout will remain forever in God’s possession: those families will become distinguished families of Heaven producing God’s representatives generation after generation, and those countries will become great nations under Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Time of Fruition in the Providence</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to a providential time of great urgency when God’s providence for human salvation must be brought to a conclusion. God’s heart and love for humanity has been the heart of a parent who loves a child. God could not ignore the immorality and wickedness of this world, so He finally sent me to correct these things and to tear down the barriers of war and conflict for all eternity. In doing so, He gave me the qualification to be the Savior, Messiah, returning Lord and True Parent who appears in the world as the substantial body of God Himself. Recently, God Himself sent me a letter in which He comforted me on my difficult life and offered me encouragement. In addition, many people in spirit world, including the five great saints, many prophets and kings who appeared in the course of history, and even notorious murderers such as Hitler and reprehensible Communists such as Stalin and Lenin have received my teachings, repented, and sent me letters expressing gratitude.</p>
|
||||
<p>Looking back on my life, I can say that humankind, which should have properly attended and served the True Parent, Rev. Moon, with absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience, instead made him go through a wilderness course lasting some eighty years, interspersed with persecution and suffering. I am not the type of person who would ever let such things discourage me or make me give up, however. If I were, God would never have sent me to earth as His representative. As I clawed my way through indescribable suffering and adversity, I never once reproached God or turned away from my mission. I always worked for the ultimate fulfillment of God’s Will. You who do not know Heaven’s providence have probably lived your lives only for the purpose of fulfilling your own desires. By contrast, I have lived my life in accordance with Heaven’s Will and as a public person of the cosmos. Without the slightest deviation, I have lived by practicing the true love of a True Parent so as to gain victory in the course of indemnity needed for the salvation of humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected and distinguished guests, humanity has now entered a historical realm when we only need to focus on the future and march forward forcefully with hearts filled with hope and desire. We have seen the birth of the “Abel-type United Nations,” <a href="http://www.unification.net/2003/20031015_1.html#3"><sup>3</sup></a> which will lay bare the unreasonableness and the absurdities of the existing UN and provide fundamental solutions to the various problems facing humanity today. On October 3, more than 1,500 leaders from around the world who follow my vision gathered in New York, U.S.A., and accomplished the founding of this historic and providential “Abel United Nations.”</p>
|
||||
<h3>An Abel UN is a Peace UN</h3>
|
||||
<p>It is already 38 years since I met former United States president Dwight D. Eisenhower and explained to him the necessity for an Abel United Nations. Because of the ignorance of those in charge who could not understand the significance of the hour, the fulfillment of that aspect of the providence was delayed until today. Now, Heaven can wait no longer. This year, by the demands of the providence, many righteous people who follow me made a stand to rid themselves of their enmity for each other. Religious leaders who had previously refused even to sit down together — Jewish clergy representing the First Israel, Middle Eastern clergy representing Islam, and American clergy representing Christianity — gathered in Jerusalem. These traditional enemies took each other by the hand and announced the Jerusalem Declaration. Next, a large number of religious leaders from across religious boundaries gathered in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, which represents Christianity, the realm of the Second Israel. These religious leaders proclaimed a resolution from the earthly world in response to the resolution adopted by many leaders — including the five great saints — in the spirit world. On the basis of these declarations in Jerusalem and Washington, a third declaration, the Seoul Peace Declaration, was adopted in Seoul, Korea, on August 15 and announced to the world by its Jewish, Islamic, and Christian clergy signatories. Please bear in mind that these steps were the providential preparations for the founding of the Abel United Nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>“Abel United Nations” means “Peace United Nations.” The existing United Nations is a Cain-type United Nations, a United Nations of strife. In contrast, the Abel United Nations will be a structure that guarantees world peace. This is nothing less than the most revolutionary and wondrous event to happen since God created humankind. Now the world will begin to change rapidly. More than 120 billion blessed couples on the side of goodness in the spirit world have been mobilized. On earth, tens of thousands of Ambassadors for Peace and millions of other leaders around the world are carrying the torch of the Peace United Nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Humanity now has the responsibility to work through the Peace United Nations to build, on the earth, the Peace Kingdom that God and all people have longed for. Attending God as our King, and, aligned internally on Cheon Il Guk and externally on the Nation of the Fourth Israel, it is our responsibility to build a world of peace that represents both the spiritual and earthly realms and that transcends religions and nations.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Realizing World Peace Through the Peace UN</h3>
|
||||
<p>I want to make it clear to all the world that I will gladly transfer to the control of the Peace United Nations the entire foundation that I have built with blood, sweat, and tears over more than eighty years. To begin with, the Family Federation, which now has missions in 191 countries, and dozens of other groups and organizations founded by me will be placed under the control of the Peace United Nations. All media organs, including the Washington Times and United Press International (UPI) in the United States, the Middle East Times in the Middle East, Tiempos del Mundo in Central and South America, Segye Ilbo in Korea, and Sekai Nippo in Japan, will promote the work of the Peace United Nations. Moreover, Sun Moon University in Korea, the University of Bridgeport in the United States, Sunhwa (Little Angels) Middle and High School, Sunjung Girls Middle and High School and other educational institutions will be dedicated to the purpose of educating leaders capable of carrying out the lofty purposes of the Peace United Nations. In the area of sports, too, the Ilhwa Cheonma Soccer Team that has become the premier team in the Republic of Korea, and Sorocaba and CENE, which have become prominent professional football teams in Brazil, will dedicate their energies to the same purpose.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I have no lingering attachments to this world. I received Heaven’s command as a young man of 15, and I have pursued this throughout my life until now, when I am more than 80 years old. I will spare no effort in dedicating the remaining years of my life to God and to fulfill the heavenly mandate. Working through the Peace United Nations, I will without fail resolve God’s anguish and build God’s Kingdom of freedom, peace, unity, and happiness based on true love, on earth and in heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished guests, please, even now, open the gates to your hearts and receive your calling from Heaven with a spirit of one heart, one body, and one mindset with God. Follow the tradition of the True Parents to practice the life of a true teacher, true owner, and true parent. This path will lead to your becoming representatives and heirs of Heaven and True Parents. It is the path and mission of true love that builds the Peace Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished guests, I pray that Heaven’s great blessings will be upon your journey as you preciously place deep within your hearts the bond created today by our sharing these wonderful words of Heaven, and that from this time forward you will pioneer a life that is on a new and higher level. With this thought, I will now have my prayer of report read by a representative and offer this gathering before Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>– This is the message of Heung Jin Nin sent through Hoon Mo Nim on January 1, 2002 on the 35th True God’s Day. It was addressed to True Parents and read to the 7000 members gathered at the God’s Day ceremony. Heung Jin Nim describes the effects in the Spiritual world of True Parents’ declarations and ceremonies. He explains how ancestors are recreated, about the Training Center and their progress in the training there. He also reported in detail how the spiritual world has changed since the Coronation of God’s Kingship. After hearing this report, True Parents’ comment was, “It is so well expressed that it should be regarded as a clear illustration of the spiritual world. This content must be published and heard by all members, who should apply it in their daily life.”</em></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>This text is a translation of this message as published in a book produced at Cheong Pyeong Training Center to commemorate the training center’s 500th 2-day workshop and 7th Anniversary.-</em></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents! I am so thankful, because through true love you have opened the Cheon Il Guk nation and the New Age in which we can live together with God and True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It was on July 8, 2000 that we performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Original Palace, which Heaven, humanity and all creation have desired. We then went forward towards the goal you set for us, “Let us perfect the realm of Heaven and earth’s liberation as we inherit the heavenly fortune of true love.” From the end of October to the end of December 2001, the Speaking Tour of Unified Nation of Cosmic Peace in Korea, Japan, and USA led to the opening of the Cheon Il Guk. After these momentous events, I have no words to adequately thank you. I am sorry that I have not been able to report the situation in the spiritual world more often.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Most revered and esteemed True Parents! According to your guidance and blessing I have been making a foundation here in the spiritual world as you have been continuously leading the providence on the earth. I have been educating those spirits who were collected at the Cheong Pyeong Training Center and brought up here to my training center in the spiritual world. Here they are educated and cleansed of their sins. They come down to be Blessed on the earth, and afterwards they are educated in the way of true family. This is their foundation to be resurrected on the Earth as they help their descendants to accomplish the Providence according to True Parents’ direction.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Coronation of God’s Kingship was the fruit of 80 years of True Parents’ victories. This event especially caused amazing changes in the spiritual world. On the basis of True Parents’ hard course of indemnity conditions, God’s lineage is now being restored. The Day of the Coronation of God’s Kingship was indeed a historical day. On that day God and restored spirits wept for joy, as 6000 years of God’s resentment was overcome. Truly, True Parents’ heart of filial piety moved the whole cosmos. We want to take their example into our hearts to become mature children who give joy to our True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We have done a lot of work here in the spirit world with the love and attention of True Parents. Here I will report in detail on the ancestor liberations, Registration Blessings, and the process of raising spirits to the status of Absolute Good Spirits, as well as the changes that have ensued since the Coronation of God’s Kingship.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Changes in the Spiritual World due to True Parents’ Declarations</strong></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents’ greatest wish was to offer the Coronation of God’s Kingship. To accomplish this historical ceremony, True Parents shed tears and sweat and blood throughout the 80 years of their life. True Parents had to make so many conditions before they could hold it, because the barriers in the spiritual world first had to be broken down.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">With each victorious foundation, True Parents made a providential declaration in order to advance towards the coming of God’s sovereignty on the earth and the spiritual world. He then had to realize on the earth the content of the declarations through rallies. I want to discuss the meaning of recent declarations and report on the resulting changes in the spiritual world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When I first arrived here, I encountered many difficulties as I tried to follow the will of True Parents. True Parents sent me here in the position of the Commander In Chief, but the atmosphere was not good for me to work strongly. Among the spirits here, believers in different religions continued to insist on the ways, rituals and doctrines of their own religions as they knew them on earth. Those who had not been religious were likewise set in their ways. None paid any attention to things beyond their limited vision.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God’s intention is that all the religious people in the spiritual world should descend to work with their descendants and followers on earth, and be resurrected centered on True Parents by giving testimonies and bringing about the unity of religions. At that time I did not have the right environment to make this happen. It was so difficult. Especially, there were no Absolute Good Spirits. There was only an evil spiritual world, an environment where evil spirits dominated and people’s fallen natures were so strong that they took no interest in anyone but themselves. In most cases those who took an interest in others only did so because they wanted to get revenge for his or her suffering as a result of what happened to them on the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, I was hesitant to act because I did not have a close relationship with Jesus or other religious leaders. The Christian churches were placed in the Abel position because True Parents came on the foundation of the Christianity, to guide them to God’s side. My unity with Jesus was less important than unity between the Unification Church and Christian churches. True Father said that the UnificationChurch and Christian churches could unite on the earth through first establishing unity in the spiritual world. Yet it was not easy to find the central point that could transcend the realms of religion, because each religion had its own rituals and culture. Especially I had difficulty making a relationship with the saints and sages of the different religions.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In order to establish the realm of religious unity, in December 1996 True Parents called the founders of the four great religions and the 12 disciples of Jesus to attend a 40-day workshop at Cheong Pyeong.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Next they went through a 100-day workshop and explored the whole spiritual world. They learned the Divine Principle and came to understand the spiritual world overall. Especially after the Blessing our relationship improved considerably. Through the course of 100 days at the spirit world training center these religious leaders learned who the True Parents are, and this brought us into unity of heart. Finally, after the Blessing of the four great Religious Founders, the world religions are able to unite. Through this process, all the difficulties that I had in the beginning were overcome, so I could start working with confidence as the Commander In Chief of the spiritual world. This was possible only because of the love and blessing of True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents held the Blessing ceremony for Dae Mo Nim, Dae Hyung Nim and Choong Mo Nim on August 25, 1995. On December 1, 1997 they proclaimed the “Declaration of the Opening of the Right to Give the Blessing in the Spiritual World,” through which Heung Jin Nim and Dae Mo Nim were given the rightful position to conduct Blessings of spirit people. Since then spirits could receive the Blessing with the absolute authority of the spiritual world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The victory of the 400 Million Couples Blessing resulted in cutting off Satan’s lineage and connecting everyone to True Parents’ lineage. Through this, the victory of True Parents could be connected to the spiritual world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I give thanks to our True Parents for the “Declaration of the Opening of the Right to Give the Blessing in the Spiritual World,” because through this God is now able to liberate the Heavenly world completely and go anywhere to spread His original heart of love.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Easter Sunday, April 17, 1998 True Parents gave the “Declaration of the Opening of Elder Brother-ship, Parent-ship and Kingship.” Through this declaration, whatever had not been connected centered on the family could be connected to the victory of the 360 Million Couples Blessing. It was thus proclaimed as “cutting off Satan’s lineage on the worldwide level.”</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now the gate of the Liberated Realm of Blessing is open on the earth and in Heaven. Three nations—representing the father nation, mother nation and elder brother nation—had established an absolute unified foundation centered on True Parents representing the nation of Heaven and Earth and the center of Universe. On that foundation, Blessings of 30,000 couples, 360,000 couples and 3.6 million couples reached the worldwide level. By 1998 the Blessing had reached the cosmic level. This meant that the spirits in the spiritual world and in the physical world could receive the Blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Most notably, in 1999 the declaration, “The Complete Liberation of Satan’s Lineage and Accomplishment of True Blessing on the Cosmic Level” enabled our ancestors in the spiritual world to go the way of liberation and work for the unity of the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The “Liberation of the Cosmos” prayer in the Pantanal, and the “Declaration of Congratulation of Victory in East and West” brought many more changes. Through these we arrived at the time when God could free the spiritual world and physical world and establish the God’s sovereign nation of love to be governed by God. All this was based on the victorious foundation laid by the True Parents after overcoming the false lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, the Blessed Couples in the spiritual world could stand in the position of younger brothers and sisters to attend the Blessed Couples on the earth in the position of elder brothers and sisters. This created a new order between the physical world and spiritual world, which had previously been in a relationship of Cain and Abel. It set up a new realm of liberation and a new level—The Victorious Parents’ Realm. Based on this, True Parents could hold the “Ceremony of Declaration to Congratulate True Parents’ Cosmic Level Victory.” Through this a great change came about: the time when Satan could take God’s children by force ended, and the time when the ancestors of Blessed Couples can take their descendants to Kingdom of Heaven by force arrived. We thus entered the Era of the Liberated Realm of Freedom.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Nine minutes and 9 seconds after 9 o’clock on September 9, 1999, True Father being 79 years old, was the moment when the number 9 appeared 9 times. About 5000 members gathered in Su Taek Ri Training Center to hear True Parents make the “Declaration of the Ceremony for the Liberation of the Cosmic Unity of the Parents of Heaven and Earth.” The spiritual world also participated in this grand and beautiful ceremony to participate in True Parents’ victory.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Through that declaration, the age changed from the era under Satan’s dominion to the era of God’s sovereignty. Satan had built foundations on the national, tribal, familial and individual levels, but from that moment on Satan’s foundations were required to take orders from God. The cosmic True Parents restored the number 9 which had been lost, cut off the history of Satan, and declared that the final victorious era had come. At that moment Satan surrendered to God. Satan could no longer cross the boundary into the realm on God’s side. From that moment on, the sovereignty of unified love was established centered on the children in the spiritual world and on earth, vertically and horizontally, and front and back, complete in every direction. Thus the “Realm of Kingship of the Unity of Love” could be declared.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Today this unworthy one whom you elevated to the position of a saint, the family-level saint, thanks you very much. I know you raised me up to save the family by bringing together into unity the Blessed Couples on the earth and in the spiritual world. I know you wish me to save the family. It entails reconnecting what was lost at the time of Jesus on the earth and expanding the ideal of the family to Heaven. You have blessed this Cheong Pyeong Providence, which has established the position of the spiritual parents of Jesus’ time and established the position of the physical and spiritual parents who can officiate at the Blessing. I am grateful that I could assist you in this way. It is entirely the result of your victory, and you deserve all the glory.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That was the historical Nine Nines Day, when the Parents of Heaven and Earth could embrace the whole cosmos from the peak of the summit, based on “Declaration of the Ceremony for the Liberation of the Cosmic Unity of the Parents of Heaven and Earth.” After that you established Three Tens Day.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the year 2000 much change came in the spiritual world for the building of God’s Homeland. In August True Parents made the “Declaration to Break Down National Borders and Realize True Love.”</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents then performed the “Chusok Ceremony for the Liberation of All Resentment” at East Garden, in the presence of True Children and 122 leaders. On that day eight people faced the four directions in pairs, and the sprinkling of Holy Wine made a condition to sanctify the cosmos. They represented the whole Unification movement and all Blessed Couples in the spiritual world. Everything can be governed, now that we are able to go freely east, west, north, south and to the center, as well as vertically to every level. I am grateful for this opening of the way by which we can go forward as filial children of God into the united kingdom of love.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After the Chusok holiday, the “Declaration of the Handing Over of the Right of Blessing” was held in the Heavenly Palace where 4000 Blessed wives had gathered for a 21-day workshop. You bequeathed the rightful position to me to give the Blessing, this unworthy person whom you nevertheless have trusted and to whom you have bequeathed all your victories.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Everything you made victorious in the heavenly world, the liberated realm of God’s ideal of creation, you have bequeathed to this unworthy one. The Blessing of the “Transition of the Three Ages Four-Position Foundation Registration Unification Blessing” could be given on this foundation.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On October 14, 2000 True Parents performed the “Ceremony on the 50th Anniversary of the Release from Heungnam Prison and Ceremony for the Liberation of the Spiritual World.” It was attended by Young Jin Nim, Hye Jin Nim, Hee Jin Nim, the four great Founders of the major religions, philosophers, saints and sages, the 4000 people participating in the fourth 21-day Registration Workshop, and I. True Parents centered on God performed the ceremony, which opened the new shimjung culture of the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth and in Heaven. Now there is a way open for even Satan, the Archangel, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven eventually. At that time you commissioned me to lead the four major religious leaders of the world, conscientious people, and all philosophers to go in the same direction, toward the straight way of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This was truly the love of True Parents. True Parents comforted God, even amidst suffering and at the risk of their lives. In order to save all mankind, True Father went to Heungnam Prison. Now True Parents have connected the 50th anniversary of that day to the liberation of cosmos, the liberation of the physical and spiritual worlds. I am so grateful for this blessing and love.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As True Parents performed the Total Liberation Ceremony, the walls in the spiritual world collapsed and the spirits in the spirit world were able to move freely. With this, much change came in the spiritual world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The way of the spiritual world is quite different from what is commonly thought on the earth. A spirit cannot easily travel from one place to another. If it weren’t for the declarations of True Parents and their constant love, it would be so difficult for me to work here.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The spiritual world is the world of mind. Once you are set in your mind and in your habits, it is not easy to change. Therefore it is very difficult for religious people of different backgrounds to travel to each other’s regions. In the spiritual world thought is reality itself, so differences in thinking are manifest as high walls, or as steep cliffs with wide holes or many falling stones, making it difficult to move from place to place. Therefore, it was so difficult for spirits who lived in some remote region to venture outside their accustomed place.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing this situation, True Parents brought victory by going the course of indemnity to make the foundation to perform the “Total Liberation Ceremony.” Through this ceremony, countless boundaries between different regions were broken down. Of course not all the obstructions disappeared in that instant, and spirits still cannot easily go anywhere they please. At present though it is much easier to go from one place to another where the obstacles had been religious boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On December 3, 2000, forty days before the Coronation of God’s Kingship, True Parents made the “Declaration of the Elimination of Hell and Registration for the Kingdom of Heaven” in Punta del’Este, Uruguay at a gathering of 66 members. This declaration holds a very important meaning. Hell and Paradise had been the source of God’s sadness, but now they were being liberated. In the dominion of God, the law of love and heart crosses over hills and transcends national boundaries. With their release, the realm of liberation had finally arrived. The time had come for True Parents’ grace to establish God’s Kingship.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On that day, God appointed the ancestors of members to stand alongside the angels and serve as ushers and escorts. Amidst brilliant light and the fragrance of perfume, God himself came down in person to the Main Hall of the Heavenly Palace. Officiating at the ceremony, you crowned God in His original proper position. You could perform this ceremony after going through your lifelong course. You could make the proclamation based on your solemn promise. You performed this ceremony for the sake of God, so that God can come and go freely and connect people to His realm of love. Once more I congratulate you!</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents worked hard throughout their whole life to restore God’s dignity and bring God to His rightful position. Their lifelong victorious indemnity conditions and the content of their declarations were focused on this very purpose. God said, “Truly, True Parents’ heart of filial piety is beyond what anyone can describe.” In the spiritual world all this is well known. This unworthy one also wants to be like you, always making God happy. I will make every effort to attend True Parents and let them feel comforted.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>The Situation and Changes in the Spiritual World</strong></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Dear Beloved True Parents,</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I want share this for the sake of the members, that they may understand the changes taking place in the spiritual world and its situation in detail.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to ascend to Heaven, first you have to go through a door between the Middle Level of the spiritual world and Paradise. As you enter you see fog, such as you see when you climb a mountain just before you reach the summit; looking down you see the fog beneath you, and as you descend the fog again gets thicker and thicker. But as you continue upward and approach the Kingdom of Heaven it gets brighter.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the Kingdom of Heaven you will see green grass everywhere. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming in profusion, and animals are playing happily together. The air is fresh and filled with fragrances like lilac. Bright light shines throughout, more beautiful than diamond and clear as crystal. As you stand there you feel so comfortable and refreshed. A feeling of love and happiness fills you. Unlike in earthy life, in the Kingdom of Heaven these happy feelings are continual.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the Kingdom of Heaven there is no anxiety or suffering. All the spirits have bright and peaceful expressions; they don’t need to talk as they automatically care for each other. There is no fighting, no jealousy, no hate or arrogance, and no fallen nature. Everyone is filled only with True Love. However, only people who were Blessed through the True Parents can enter this place. Even people on earth who led a good life cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless they have been Blessed.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You cannot go to this place by living in a haphazard way. In order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven you have to live a clean and beautiful life, crystal clear with no blemishes. In order to live here you must have a smile on your face and a light that shines like jewels. Blessed Couples should examine themselves every hour of their life to check whether they are truly becoming citizens of Kingdom of Heaven, by leading an earthly life of which they will not be ashamed in any way.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As you descend from the Kingdom of Heaven, you will encounter many different regions of the spiritual world. Many people on earth think that there are only two different places: Heaven and hell. But in reality there are many regions, from very evil places to very good places. Although there are many different levels, any level other than the Kingdom of Heaven is not at all comfortable because the people fight each other, insisting that they alone are correct about their opinions. Each region is filled with people who are of the same type, so it is not interesting to remain there.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">For example, in the region where people who were accustomed to stealing things on earth dwell, they are ever thinking that other people will steal things from them. Amid such distrust of others fighting goes on continually.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When they come here most of the sprits are placed in various regions of hell and the middle realms. Where they are placed is decided by how they lived their lives on the earth. Therefore, if you don’t want to suffer in hell you must not live an unprincipled life, but go the way of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. God is only goodness and love. Unless we make effort to resemble God, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you descend further into the lower regions, you come to regions of hell where you cannot breathe. It is dark and scary, and it has a terrible smell, worse than the smell of rotten meat or fish. Deformed figures appear in front of you, biting each other, yelling and screaming at each other. Some regions are filled with burning holes, and in them are people who are forever angry at each other. The worst regions are reserved for those who were sexually corrupt or who committed suicide. It is difficult to look at the many ugly figures there slithering all about like snakes. People living on the earth don’t recognize how frightening it is in these areas. If you could see it, you would not be able to remain there even for a minute. Fortunately, all Blessed Couples have had their Original Sin forgiven and have the chance to cleanse their ancestors’ sins, collective sins, personal sins and fallen nature. Yet Blessed Couples don’t recognize how precious and valuable is the grace that they possess.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As the Divine Principle teaches us, no one forces people to go to a particular region of the spiritual world, but people find their own place by their own will according to the spiritual level they attained on the earth. If only we could make people understand this, they would know how to live in the future.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The colors of the different regions of the spiritual world differ one from another, from the Kingdom of Heaven to hell. The Kingdom of Heaven is extremely bright and white, clean like flawless white jade. But as we descend the colors become darker and darker and dirtier. Descending from the Kingdom of Heaven the color turns beige, then darker shades of purple. Descending to still lower regions the color becomes light brown, then gray, dark gray, black and pitch black. The more sins committed, the darker the color. Also, spirits who committed many sins with a certain part of their body show dirtier and darker colors on that part. After receiving the Blessing, people can get rid of their fallen nature and live in the Kingdom of Heaven. The more True Love, the closer they can get to the Kingdom of Heaven. But the more fallen nature the darker their spirit self becomes, and they go to a dark place.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is so important after we receive the Blessing to remove evil, resentful spirits and to remove our fallen nature, because this will decide our environment after we go to the spiritual world. People may enjoy their wealth, power and good position, but the situation in the spiritual world is so different. The more money a person had on earth or the higher the position that they misused, the greater their troubles are in the spiritual world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the Divine Principle it reads, “Sin is a violation of heavenly law which is committed when a person forms a common base with Satan, thus setting a condition for give-and-take action with him.” Most people think of sin only as personal sin, but there is Original Sin, ancestral sin, collective sin as well as personal sin. We are burdened with sins inherited from our ancestors even though we personally did not commit them, and we are also responsible for collective sins that were committed collectively.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In one word, being a fallen person means being the result of 6000 years of fallen human history—a mixture of good and evil. People inherit good and evil character from their ancestors, but living in the world where there is more evil than good, evil is continuously repeated. When we say that there are many evil spirits in the bodies of people on the earth, it is the result of personal sins and ancestral sins passed down through the lineage. For every sin there is always a cause, because it is the result of a condition to have give-and-take action with Satan. Thus, there is story behind every sin, and someone was its cause. Maybe an ancestor of the person, while living on the earth gave much difficulty and pain to someone, and that person came to have resentment. Now this resentful spirit has come down to the descendant of that ancestor to get revenge by trying to influence him to commit sin. Such a cause might also show as sickness or pain.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">All modern diseases have spiritual causes that are connected to the sins of ancestors. By looking at the sicknesses and difficulties of descendants, we can infer about the life of their ancestors. If the ancestors had stolen things from the others or misused public things or money, their descendants often suffer from stomach problems. If they had many sexual transgressions, their descendants may suffer from diseases of the sex organs, or be unable to bear children, have problems being faithful, or get divorced after marriage. Ancestors who did not see things about others correctly and hurt them will cause their descendants to have children who are born blind, mute or deaf. In other words, according to the way pain was given, the descendants suffer with the same kind of troubles. The heavier the ancestors’ sins, the more difficult it is to heal the resulting sickness; it may not even be curable.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If people on the earth do not clear up these sins through paying the required indemnity, the suffering is passed down to their children. Later, when those people come to the spiritual world and watch their children suffer they regret that they did not clear things up for them. They lament, “If only I had borne my suffering on earth, my children would not need to suffer now.”</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, unless people clear up all the sins passed down from their ancestors, as well as the personal sins they committed themselves, they cannot escape from sickness and pain. The sins are so great and so many that they cause countless evil spirits to infest the bodies of people on the earth. There are multitudes of them, each the size of an ant’s egg. In reality spirits can control their size freely. These evil spirits make themselves tiny in order to infest people’s bodies in large numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When you look at a spirit it may appear as it was as a human being, or as it was at the time of death. Sometimes a spirit appears as an animal or as an insect according to how he or she lived on the earth. A person who had a hot temper might have the appearance of a tiger. A person who delighted in tricking others might look like fox, and a person who was sexually promiscuous might look like a snake.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Dear most precious True Parents! My training center is located right next to the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Kingdom of Heaven is not yet open, as it will be opened only after True Parents arrive here. All of us will enter on that day. I am glad that we have this training center, because we need it in order to restore all people in the spirit world. I can never thank you enough for providing it. Now we are able to create Absolute Good Spirits. This means we have now created a realm where Satan cannot invade. As the number of Absolute Good Spirits increases, the territory of God and True Parents increases. Satan’s evil work is diminished, and the hope of establishing the Kingdom of Heaven opens up on the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Looking at our progress in liberating evil spirits, some may question whether it would be easier if we would restore all the evil spirits on the earth at once. But that is not the Principle way. God cannot intervene in the choices of fallen human beings, who fell into the midway position. God cannot intervene with His power, and Satan cannot intervene either. Each person alone decides whose side he or she is on by the conditions he or she makes and who is in the rightful position to intervene. Only when a person makes a condition for God, can God intervene in that person’s life. Therefore, in order to remove evil spirits we need to make indemnity conditions by understanding our sins and the sins of our ancestors. Otherwise the separation or liberation of evil spirits is very difficult. The same principle applies in Blessing our ancestors. We need to make conditions so that our ancestors can be liberated and sent to the training center in the spiritual world, where they become the Absolute Good Spirits who will be the foundation for God to come down on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As of this time, True Parents have achieved the cosmic level of victory. They have liberated the spiritual world and have broken down the boundaries between religions in the spiritual world. True Parents have created the environment to establish the Kingdom of Heaven and to break down national boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On this basis, evil spirits are being restored to become Absolute Good Spirits. Especially, all the declarations that True Parents proclaimed from 1990 up to the Coronation of God’s Kingship made the victorious foundation to restore Absolute Good Spirits and send them to the earth. This work would be impossible unless the Messiah, the eternal True Parent, does it.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In recent years the spiritual world has changed for the worse. Since 1980 evil spirits greatly increased their power to work on the earth and this made their work much more effective. The reason for this was that the central figures of the Providence did not know the identity of Satan, the root of sin, or the nature of Original Sin. Satan, therefore, had no anxieties about creating his self-centered world. However, after the True Parents came into the world the situation started changing. After revealing the root of sin and the Original Sin more clearly than God had ever revealed it before, True Parents began making conditions so that Satan would not be able to settle on the earth. As he achieved victory after victory in Providence of Restoration, Satan began to get nervous. Consequently, Satan mobilized the evil spirits in the spiritual world to work with the evil spirits in the bodies of people on the earth by stimulating their resentment and their desire to take revenge on the descendants of the people who caused them pain. In particular, Satan watched closely for opportunities to invade Blessed Couples. Whenever he found any conditions to do so, he put evil spirits into Blessed Couples’ bodies. As a result, Blessed Couples were not living centered on God.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God expected that Blessed Couples would make unity of heart with God and True Parents by living with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Satan cannot invade such Blessed Couples. But when the Blessed Couples acted in unprincipled ways they made conditions for Satan to invade them. In fact, most Blessed Couples expected that the victory of True Parents would protect them; they didn’t look deeply at themselves to check whether they had anything for which Satan could accuse them. They didn’t reflect on whether any fallen nature remained in them. Therefore, at least from now on we must work hard to purify ourselves from evil and sin and be reborn as original, true children.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Blessed Couples must know that they have many, many evil resentful spirits within them. Blessed Couples should know how to separate these evil spirits and be cleansed of sins. They must work hard to clean this up while they are on the earth. Do Blessed Couples doubt it when I say that they have many evil spirits in them? The proof is that they still commit so many evil actions and retain so much fallen nature.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From this point of view, liberating our ancestors is the way to straighten out all the complicated matters passed down through the linage and to restore the original linage. All the sins committed by ancestors are passed down to their descendants; therefore members are pushed to commit sins in spite of themselves. By clearing up the invisible world True Parents’ saving hands are reaching down to us. Their desire is that members will no longer be tempted by Satan and can live according to the original way.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As time passes by, people will see the difference in the members’ lives between those who have invested to liberate evil spirits and those who have not. The more evil spirits there are in a person, the more difficulties that person will have to face. The fewer evil spirits he or she has, the more comfortable and happy his or her life will be.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, each of us must reach the absolute standard, which is in accord with the ideal standard of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let’s overcome our fallen nature and go the way of true children, the way acceptable to God. This is most important.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore, you members must not take this matter lightly and just be bystanders. You must take it seriously and by all means remove the evil spirits from your bodies. Participate with the determination to uproot all the evil and all your fallen nature. Just as evil spirits can change to become Absolute Good Spirits, so also you on the earth must heed the voice of your conscience and original mind and pursue the way of perfection, that you may resemble God.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Through the Coronation of God’s Kingship, the Transition of Three Ages Four-Position Foundation Registration Unification Blessing, the liberation of ancestors and the Blessing of ancestors, the time has now come to open and enlarge the history of goodness.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now is the time when all the people on the earth can be cleansed of their fallen nature and be reborn into the state before the Fall. Now, when the spiritual and physical worlds are changing and developing at the same time, all must go out and witness to True Parents and teach the Divine Principle, in order that all people on the earth may go to the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In order for all mankind to be Blessed and enter the Kingdom of Heaven, the numbers of Absolute Good Spirits must be increased. It is important that members take this responsibility to further the progress of the Providence of Restoration.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">No evil spirit can invade an Absolute Good Spirit. Evil spirits cannot bear to look at the bright light shining from an Absolute Good Spirit. But Absolute Good Spirits can see evil spirits and are able to drag them out of earthly people’s bodies. Now, as Absolute Good Spirits are descending to the earth, evil spirits are losing their ground upon which to be active. Evil spirits have misled good people whose spiritual senses are partially open by coming to them in the disguise of a good spirit and leading them astray. To prevent members from being misled the evil spirits who are cleared from their bodies are made into Absolute Good Spirits. No one can be misled once all five spiritual senses are completely open, but this will be possible only after the evil spirits are cleared out completely and the person is united with the heart of God and True Parents. For this reason all members must work hard to become spiritually clean and unite with God and True Parents’ realm of heart. This is the way we will prevent the divisions that plague Christians, who, although they believe in the same Jesus, divided into denominations and became enemies.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In order to build one family under God with our True Parents members must clear up this potential problem so that no one will come pretending to be this or that.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents are on the earth, but they are in the spiritual world as well. When you go to the Kingdom of Heaven you can see True Parents sitting beside the throne of God. This is how all the spirits could accept True Parents as the Messiah. Only the people dwelling on the earth don’t know this well because they see True Parents strictly from a humanistic standpoint.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When the participants in Heung Jin Nim’s training go and visit True Parents in the spiritual world they get to meet the smiling, loving True Parents. True Parents are eternal beings who can travel freely between the earth and Heaven. Only on the earth are people still ignorant of the value of True Parents; this makes me truly so sad. I am so happy and grateful to live with the eternal True Parents. On earth members trapped in their busy daily schedules may sometimes forget about True Parents. Here, no matter what, they cannot forget the eternal value of True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Ancestor Liberation Ceremony and the Spirit World Workshop</strong></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After you register for the ancestor liberation ceremony, Dae Mo Nim looks through the list of ancestors and mobilizes angels and Absolute Good Spirits to seek them out in the spirit world. Sometimes the spirits are found dwelling in the physical bodies of people on the earth, sometimes they are simply staying somewhere in the spirit world, and sometimes they are found wandering about the earth as ghosts. Searching for them is like looking at a distant place through a telescope. When we track down ancestors through a person’s lineage it is like checking the person’s genes.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A few years ago we would call the spirits over here to liberate their resentments. However, because the evil spirit world is becoming stronger and stronger we now must go and grab hold of them and directly bring them to Cheong Pyeong to make sure we have accurately found the right ancestors.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During the ancestor liberation ceremony the ancestors first wait to meet with their descendants on the earth. Then a shaft of light shines down on them from Heaven and they ascend to the spirit world, guided up that beam of light by angels. Then the evil spirits who were separated during the 2-day workshop and the ancestors liberated through the ceremony go together to the place in the spirit world where they will attend the training.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">They approach the training center through the gate of the spirit world located between the Middle-Level Spirit World and Paradise. They enter the training center and then register for the 100-day workshop.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After my words of greeting they receive an explanation about the significance of the 100-day workshop and its schedule. In the first lectures I explain to them concretely what each of them looks like and why, and then I let them see their spirit selves. These spirits never had the chance or the interest to observe their appearance closely. They never lived in an environment where they could see themselves with their own eyes. In the workshop they are shocked to see what they look like. Some cry out when they discover how strange they look. What they see when they look at their own body is their actual life on earth. Also, they learn clearly where in the spirit world they will go for their dwelling-place.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After I let the ancestors see themselves in this way I take them on a tour of the whole spirit world, from Heaven to the bottom of hell. Next, I let them find their rightful dwelling-places as determined by their spiritual state.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As they travel downward towards the lower regions of the spirit world closer to hell, the landscape becomes rougher, with high walls and ditches. Because the surroundings are dark, the spirits have a hard time finding their rightful dwellings even though they might in fact be close by.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, most of the ancestors never had a chance to reach their proper dwelling-places in the spirit world after they left the earth. Often an evil spirit captured them as soon as they died. Hence, for many of them it was their first time to actually visit their due home in the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Next, I let them feel how painful it is to stay in their dwellings. I leave them alone there until they see that there is no way they could continue living in such a place. I wait until they repent and make a heartfelt pledge after realizing for themselves how wayward their lives on earth were. Then I call them again to the spirit world workshop.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After this process I gather them together and give them serious Divine Principle lectures. These lectures are different from those on the earth. The participants can actually see the scenes played out and know the real situations as they happened. Hence, the participants can understand more deeply than people on earth who hear the lectures.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The first lectures are “The Principle of Creation” and “The Fall of Humankind,” which I teach. I tell them, “When God was creating human beings and the natural world He worked full of hope and joy. God created the natural world so that He could enjoy watching His children rejoicing as they took loving dominion over nature. God created each creature in the Garden of Eden with His children in mind.” As I lecture on the process of creation a screen on the side of the stage shows actual scenes from God’s creation of Heaven and earth. Through watching these images the participants can understand in depth how much love God invested as He created human beings and all of nature. When I ask the participants after the presentation if they had felt God’s heart of creation, they all reply, “Yes.” When I then remark that they had no idea about God’s loving heart in their earthly life, and pronounce that their life of ignorance was itself a great sin, they all nod and begin deep prayers of repentance.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As I continue with the lecture on the Fall of Humankind moving images of the actual fall are displayed on the screen beside the stage. The participants first see how Lucifer in his excessive desire felt more and more lack of love, how Lucifer led Eve to fall, and how Eve tempted Adam. They observe the spirit world and the earth becoming darker and darker after the fall of Adam and Eve, and how the sinful world came into being.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The participants then watch how, after the fall of Adam and Eve, their descendants inherited the fallen nature of Satan and committed sins. They see that as the lineage expanded its nature grew more and more evil. They witness the evil lineage from the false parents being passed down, as the sins of their ancestors were passed down, and then see how this caused the descendants to add still more sins of their own. The participants can see the entire process: sins flowing down and they themselves inheriting the accumulated mass of sin. They confirm their own evil nature and understand that they are the substantiation of evil. Thereupon they break into tears and start cleansing their sins, making effort to remove sin from every part of their body until their spirit self shines with light.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The lecture goes on to explain how the world deviated from God and how hell came into being. As the participants learn the process by which hell was formed they reflect upon their life on earth. After they listen to the Principle of Creation and the Fall of Humankind they can recollect 80 percent of their memories of life on earth through their reflections. If the lecturer can create the right atmosphere, they can recall 100 percent. In those memories they also see how their sins and fallen natures were passed down to their own offspring. As they comprehend that they have caused their descendants to suffer with pain in the sinful world they begin to weep in bitter repentance.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After the participants wash away their sins through the lecture series, I let them go out to find the dwelling-places that would be fitting to their new spiritual state. They discover that their new homes are quite different from the ones they had occupied before. They recognize that they are getting closer to Heaven and gain new hope that they, too, can become Spirits of Absolute Goodness who can enter Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Next, they listen to a lecture titled “Good and Evil,” which is presented by President Kee Seuk Lee. This lecture clarifies the meaning of “absolute goodness” and the meaning of evil. In it the participants learn how evil became stronger with the passage of time. They learn that from the Principle perspective there was not a trace of evil in the world of God’s original creation. Evil emerged only after the fall of Adam and Eve. Therefore, evil itself cannot be absolute. Ultimately the world can only end in absolute goodness. Nevertheless, evil emerged after the fall of Adam and Eve and grew greater and greater with time as evil nature and sin were passed down to generation after generation of their descendants. They see how the power of evil became greater than the power of goodness. Then they learn how the situation changed after the True Parents were born on the earth as the Second Coming of the Messiah. True Parents have prepared a foundation of victory and a heavenly environment that can move both earth and the spirit world centered on God’s absolute goodness.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During this series of lectures the screen on side of the stage shows the world of goodness and the world of evil, as well as how sins are passed down from ancestors to descendants. When the participants see such scenes they reflect on how they passed on sin and suffering to their own descendants, and they repent. They realize that there is no way for them to enter Heaven unless they first change themselves into Spirits of Absolute Goodness. They recognize that as long as they have even a spot of sin they will never be able to stand before God. Therefore, once again they try hard to find their sins and cleanse themselves. After this I again let them go and find their proper dwellings. After seeing that they have ascended to better places they work even harder to cleanse their sins, separate evil spirits, and remove their fallen nature, so that they may become Spirits of Absolute Goodness. They begin to offer their deepest gratitude to God and True Parents for giving them such grace.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Next come the series of lectures on the Principle of Restoration taught by President Hyo Won Eu. These are lectures on the Providence of Restoration centering on Adam’s family, Noah’s family, Abraham’s family, and Moses and Jesus’ life courses. Here participants can understand deeply how the central figures of the Providence of Restoration failed to fulfill their responsibilities and thus extended the Providence. These events are again shown as actual scenes on the side screen. The participants reflect back on their own lives to see whether they committed similar mistakes and failures. This is another occasion for them to reflect and repent as they work to cleanse their sins.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As the workshop progresses and more sins are cleansed the participants gain greater hope to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, they invest more effort to participate in the workshop. The spirits offer glory and thanksgiving to True Parents for revealing to them such a tremendous truth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Then follows a lecture on “True Parents’ Life Course,” taught by President Cheong Goo (Tiger) Park. He explains that True Parents came to earth but had to experience pain and loneliness due to the betrayal by Christianity. He describes to the participants that even after True Father was sent to the Heungnam death camp, he continually comforted God, offered thanks for the blessings that God would give him after his imprisonment, expressed his determination to move forward despite any difficulties and persecution, and asked God to forgive his persecutors. President Park goes on to explain how True Father set each condition of indemnity and exposed the facts about Satan, how he discovered the Principle, and how he searched for his disciples to build God’s nation on earth. He also goes into depth on True Father’s sermons, his Holy Wedding, and several providential events in the present Completed Testament Age. All this is displayed as images on the side screen.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Through these presentations, the participants learn to offer thanks for God’s deep grace and love in sending True Parents on the earth to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. They also repent for being so ignorant about this aspect of God’s heart.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Further Divine Principle lectures on “Eschatology and Human History,” “Resurrection,” “Predestination,” and “Christology” are taught by those who were Divine Principle lecturers or church leaders during their earthly life. They received special training to be the lecturers in my workshop.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">All participants go through these Divine Principle lectures and watch the moving images on the screen. They see and understand the actual events and situations in history. They take this opportunity to reflect on their sinfulness and wash away their sins with repentance. As they strive to reach the standard of absolute goodness they confirm how much they have changed. They go through this curriculum over and over, each time gaining more hope to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This curriculum is indeed extremely effective and good for the spirit people.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After completing a period of 100 days in the workshop at the training center in the spirit world the spirits come back down to the Cheong Pyeong Heaven and Earth Training Center to receive the Blessing. They arrive there having removed all their sins except the Original Sin. Their Original Sin is removed through the Holy Wine Ceremony at the Blessing Ceremony, and when this is done they become Spirits of Absolute Goodness. They have gone through the ancestor liberation ceremony, education in the spirit world workshop and the Blessing to become Spirits of Absolute Goodness. This means that they are restored into the lineage of God and True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Spirits of Absolute Goodness do not have even a spot of sin. Therefore, Satan and evil spirits cannot approach them; much less tempt them back to their realm under Satan’s rule. The appearance of these Absolute Good Spirits is truly bright and beautiful. Their fragrance is deep and lovely. Such spirits can attend True Parents, and when True Parents open the heavenly gates they will enter Kingdom of Heaventogether with True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After these Spirits of Absolute Goodness receive the Blessing on the earth they return to the training center in the spirit world to go through a 40-day True Family Education Workshop. This time Mr. Ho Cheol Shin gives the lectures.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The True Family Education Workshop is the time when the participating spirits learn about the great value of the Blessing they have received from True Parents and how to lead a life of attendance to God and True Parents. They are informed about their descendants on earth—what kind of life they live, their problems and sufferings. They are given the opportunity to study the situations and sins of their descendants in detail. They receive practical education on the natures of the evil spirits who infest the bodies of their descendants and what they should do to take control of these evil spirits. As they learn their descendants’ situations they become more serious, because those descendants who liberated them and gave them the chance to receive the Blessing still suffer from the influences of evil spirits. They become anxious that something terrible might happen to them.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">During the True Family Education Workshop the ancestors also learn about the difficult and suffering course that True Parents went through to indemnify the sins of humanity. They learn the importance of fulfilling their responsibilities in accordance with the timing of True Parents’ providence. They also receive education about the actual responsibilities of Spirits of Absolute Goodness in connection with the missions of Tongban Kyukpa (Grassroots Breakthrough) and Tribal Messiahship, and for the safe settlement of the Cheon Il Guk. They learn how to wash away the sins of their descendants and change the world to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">These Absolute Good Spirits then return to the earth to help their descendants break free from the dominion of evil spirits over their minds and bodies, and to make their earthly life into that of an ideal family living in accordance with heavenly fortune and the will of God. They guide their descendants to contribute to God, to the whole Unification Family, and to humanity. They also help them to establish God and True Parents’ tradition of the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships centered upon the ideal of creation and the will of God. This tradition fosters true families that are based upon the eternal true love of husband and wife, and such families in turn become the foundation for building the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Absolute Good Spirits work together with the angels to help Blessed Families separate from evil spirits, so that they may break free of the suffering due to the dominion of evil spirits. When they return to their descendants they realize that what they learned about their descendants’ lives at the training center was true. They become serious to help their descendants rid themselves of sin and fallen nature. They worry that their descendants might commit a serious mistake during this time when Satan and his evil spirits are doing their last evil works. Therefore, they offer their utmost effort to help their descendants.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The ancestors are very sincere about fulfilling their responsibility to cleanse their descendants’ sins, which, as they learned during the workshop in the spiritual world, were passed down from ancestors like themselves. They sincerely want to help their descendants to overcome their problems. Although they don’t have a body, they want to work with their descendants as if they were their body. They want to enable them to live according to the way of citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, and through this to build the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In this New Age that is being opened through the grace and love of True Parents all Blessed Couples must unite with True Parents by living the way of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Changes Since the Coronation of God’s Kingship</strong></p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents have demonstrated to us their heart of filial piety through offering the Coronation of God’s Kingship based upon their hard lifelong course of indemnity conditions. After Adam and Eve’s fall Satan raised so many barriers to make the world completely his own. No one could surmount them. Only True Parents made the indemnity conditions that could conquer them. Through their declarations and rallies all the barriers were released. Knowing the heart of God and knowing the misery of life in this sinful world, True Parents worked extremely hard to restore this evil world and establish the environment of the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Up until now evil was stronger than goodness. Therefore, strong and evil people were more prosperous. But now, in these times after the God’s Coronation, the side of absolute good will be the wining side because the Spirits of Absolute Goodness are working on the earth. Hence, from now on, if you live centered on the standard of absolute goodness, the way of the Divine Principle, you will prosper. God Himself will work on behalf of His children who have separated themselves from their sins, and He is determined to free them from sickness and misery.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Up until now the earth spiritually looked completely dark because of the sins that covered it. But ever since the Coronation of God’s Kingship God has been free to go down to the earth. Traveling back and forth between earth and Heaven, God works in person to illuminate both worlds.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Since the fall of Adam and Eve the children created by God have suffered, unable to connect to God. Because of their sins walls have been blocking all the different levels of the spiritual world. Now, because of True Parents’ authority, and based upon their victories step by step, these walls have been broken down. As a result the original minds of people in the spiritual world and the physical world can have a base to respond to God’s heart. Their response is to repent of their personal sins and cleanse themselves of evil. Thus, the meaning of the Coronation of God’s Kingship is that now God’s light of love is reaching out to the whole cosmos.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents said, “Everyone must go toward the era of heavenly blessing upon the accomplishment of God’s Coronation, the Registration Blessing, and the settlement of the unified Blessing in Heaven and earth centered on the relationship of brothers and as the family of unchanging filial children.” Therefore, now is the time of worldwide brotherhood. Going beyond national boundaries, everyone must become brothers to one another. Therefore, the Blessed Central Families must protect the nation of God, the family of God and the kingship of God. We must be resolved to settle the Cheon Il Guk nation on the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">All this will be accomplished. I am organizing all the saints and sages centered on the One Religion in Heaven and earth. Together they go the same direction centered on the teaching of True Parents based on the ideal of the family of God.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Since the Coronation Ceremony God can use His almighty, omnipresent, and omnipotent power. All the world’s organizations will come under the power of God. Satan’s world is surrendering before God’s omnipotent, almighty, and omnipresent power.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the spiritual world there are no more clear demarcations of nationality or religion. No one can speak anymore of their religion or their sovereignty, as all is coming under God’s ideal. The satanic world is submitting to True Parents since only the True Parents, who are in the absolute object position to God, can have the authority of God. Those authorities or sovereignties that do not submit to God and True Parents will decline or collapse.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now the time of indemnity is passing. The time is coming when the authority of God’s law will govern. From now on, there is no latitude to overlook your transgressions. The time is coming when you will be judged immediately. In order to become the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, you must keep a pure lineage, not violate human rights, and never steal other people’s things or take public money. Your way of life must only be to live with true love.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">To become the good object partners of God and True Parents we must remove all the evil spirits from our bodies. Then we can be reborn as absolutely good people who can attend True Parents as their absolute object partners. To transform this evil world into the world of original goodness, God Himself must be able to directly manifest His almighty power. Now that the True Parents have offered the Coronation of God’s Kingship, God can reveal Himself to humanity. God has waited so long for this time. At such a time as this we must understand that God is alive and working, and live our life in such a way that God’s almighty power can move in us. We must make effort to build the happy and peaceful Cheon Il Guk nation through living with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Honorable and precious True Parents, I am truly grateful to you for establishing order among the spirits and creating Absolute Good Spirits. You created the absolute good lineage. As you have allowed Cheon Il Guk national citizenship cards to be issued to the members on the earth, please allow the Blessed Couples in the spiritual world who are Absolute Good Spirits to also receive them.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Everything accomplished up until now has been done only because of the blessings given by True Parents. I was so moved when I saw how True Parents comforted God by conducting the Ceremony of the Coronation of God’s Kingship. We also want to do our best to love both the spiritual and physical worlds and show True Parents’ heart of filial piety toward God. As I become more and more deeply aware that we are the fruit of True Parents’ blood, sweat and tears, I know what attitude I should have to go this way.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I will make more effort to expand the Kingdom of Heaven to the worldwide level. After clearing up the evil spirits in the spiritual world based on the victory of the True Parents, I, with the Absolute Good Spirits in the spiritual world and on the earth will take responsibility to establish the Cheon Il Guk nation. I will build the Original Palace of the True Parents, and then I will offer the Coronation of True Parents’ Kingship and liberate the True Parents. I will work hard so they may rest comfortably after having gone through such a difficult indemnity course. I will do my best together with all the Blessed Couples in the spiritual world and on the earth to fulfill this.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Together with Young Jin, Hee Jin and Hye Jin; and Dae Mo Nim, Choon Mo Nim and Dae Hyung Nim, my direct relatives in the spiritual world; the four great religious founders, saints and sages, and all absolute Blessed Couples, we will work hard together and fulfill our responsibility.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">True Parents, please trust us, rest comfortably, and take care of your health.</p>
|
||||

March 2, 2003</h3>
|
||||
<p>I believe all of you gathered here this morning represent either your religious or social organization. Whatever organization it may be, you are probably the heads of those organizations. I was told that there are about 172 people gathered here. Let’s say we have 172 people. But then all of you, do you have desire to become the top, the best of whatever organization you belong to, or do you want to become the last? [Top.] Then we have 172 champions of all different organizations representing all different fields of life. Then if we all work together, we can generate enough power to move heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then my next question is, do you wish to become the champion among the 172 of you, or do you want to become the champion among 172 nations? What if we have to include all of our ancestors, and even the great saints in the spirit world and also the 6 billion people in the world. Among them, do you still wish to become the champion or do you want to become the last?</p>
|
||||
[Champion.] I hear your sound, so strange!</p>
|
||||
<p>What is your honest opinion when you look at my face? Is Rev. Moon a good, handsome man or an ugly man? Everyone has the desire to be seen as the most handsome man or beautiful woman in the world. It’s simple. We all can become such men and women. Then what is the secret? Do you want to know?</p>
|
||||
[Yes.] Thank you very much.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you have such conviction that I can do, I did, even the word God cannot do it, God cannot believe it. What do you think. Do you have such confidence? If you have such conviction and confidence, you can become the champions of whatever you do in your life, even representing the past, present and future.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you have your loving wife or husband, do you wish your spouse to be inferior to you or superior to you, much greater than you are? Well there has to be the position of subject between husband and wife. In other words, the center position, the leader. [Not easy.] Answer not easy way? Think about it, do you think God can find any single, individual person in this world whom he can trust fully? What about yourself? I can give you my conclusion. Throughout history God could not trust any single individual fully. In the world of love, there has to be subject and object relationship. Not because of different levels, but because of the order of the universe. So when it comes to the order of love, we are talking about the subject and object relationship between husband and wife, between parents and children, between brothers and sisters, between the subject figure and object figure. So as I said, if you have a loving spouse, you expect your spouse to be greater than you, a hundred times, maybe even one billion times greater than you. When we apply this kind of order of love into God’s creation of Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve were created as his children. Therefore God expected his own children, Adam and Eve even to become greater than himself.</p>
|
||||
<p>Am I lying? What about you? Do you wish your children to become greater than you? The same thing happened to God. We easily say yes, but then are we really qualified to say that we are in that position, good enough to claim our children to become greater than we are, or do we have such qualified children of our own? It is a serious question.</p>
|
||||
<p>Regardless of our religion, we are all the children of Abraham. So you know that the human ancestors fell. Those who recognize the human fall in the beginning of human history, could you kindly show your hands? Even as the descendants of fallen ancestors, we still have the desire and wish that our children could become greater than we are, that our spouses would become greater than us. So think about it. Even in this fallen world we have such desires. In the original world where there was no human fall, when God first created his children Adam and Eve, don’t you think God had strong desire to see his own children become greater than himself? Maybe you are hearing such a comment for the first time in your life.</p>
|
||||
<p>Again, my question comes back to the same point. Centering on true love, when God created his own children, also the partner of his love life in the future, do you think God had strong desire to see his own children become greater than himself, or inferior to himself?</p>
|
||||
<p>We all resemble God, we cannot deny that. Even as fallen descendants we still claim that we resemble God. Think about people who did not have anything to do with the human fall. When we think about God’s heart, because of the human fall God lost his own children yet God has been protecting us and forgiving us, loving us, all throughout human history.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, at the point of realization that God has such pain, yet at the same time love for humankind, can we claim in front of God, “I will love you God, more than you love us. I will do more than you worked?” Then do you think God will get upset and, “Get away Satan,” or will God appreciate us?</p>
|
||||
<p>In other words, we should be able to say, “God, I will believe in what you cannot believe in.” Do you think God will get upset? Will God say, “Don’t think about that. Don’t take that kind of action.” Or will he say, “I’m proud of you my son, or my daughter.” Or you may say, “God, I will do the things which you cannot do.” If you become such a person in the eyes of God, even if you don’t want to receive God, don’t you think God will come to see you voluntarily to give you more support and more energy and more strength? Or will God stay away from you? God is in the position of our parent, so we want to become even greater than our own father. Put yourself in the position of God. What would you feel?</p>
|
||||
<p>We are not talking about the champion of 172 representatives here. We are not talking about the champion of 172 nations. We are talking about the champion of the entire universe, where God will come to you and you will go to God and you will move with God as one body, wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do. What about in comparison with me? Do you want to become greater than Rev. Moon in serving and attending God, or less? I don’t hear any answer, but some faces.</p>
|
||||
<p>I believe I can proclaim here that if all of you can do what I cannot do, if you can believe in what I cannot believe in, even if I leave this world I will leave comfortably, because I will have absolute confidence that this world will be changed into a world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Honestly speaking, I came here to share my thoughts and my teaching. However, if all of you are truly convicted, decided to become even greater than me in terms of serving and attending God, and to do what I cannot do and believe in what I cannot believe, then I will be so happy to leave every one of you alone, and I will be so happy to learn from all of you.</p>
|
||||
<p>What about you ladies sitting in the front row? Do you have the quality and conviction that you can even beat Rev. Moon in doing God’s work? [We will try.] We will try, you do not have confidence. Yes, ladies, you can have confidence. In terms of strength and power you may not be able to compete with me, but when you possess enough love, you can beat me any time.</p>
|
||||
<p>Comparing man and woman, women are usually more heartistic with a love-filled heart. That is why women tend to shed tears more easily than men. Therefore women are in the position of mother. Throughout human history all the men were born out of a woman’s womb. So they are in the position of the owner of heart and love. That is why if you make up your mind you can do much greater work in serving God and in doing God’s work than men, including Rev. Moon. You ladies should say, “I will give birth to as many children as I can, who will do even greater work than God and Rev. Moon.” Then the entire world will become the kingdom of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>What about men? There is an old saying, “man is like a thief.” Men have so much desire, and even greed. As a man I am standing here. Maybe I am the cousin of the thief, too. But then if I want to feel so comfortable, like mommy’s bosom and chest, then maybe God will even come to join me to rest with me. If we can create with our spouses such worth, that will be called the kingdom of God. If God exists, God’s eyes and nose and mouth and ears all will want to deal with such a woman and mother. Then God himself will want to love that mother figure eternally and live with her eternally.</p>
|
||||
<p>Have I spent 20 minutes? Usually ministers do not spend more than 20 minutes to deliver their sermon. So the time is over now, but one thing, if you truly understand the conviction we have to have in order to become the champions in our work, then that’s more than good enough for you.</p>
|
||||
<p>Is anyone here over 83 years old? No? So I will consider all of you as my younger brother or sister or my son or daughter. Is that okay?</p>
|
||||
<p>I have devoted my entire life to teaching people, to delivering speeches, to educating people, so if I am allowed I can speak and teach you for another 30 hours. I have that kind of desire. My record speech without stopping is 16 hours, 45 minutes straight. [Applause.] I was warned by Rev. Kwak this morning that some of you have to leave after 12:00, so he was begging me, “Please make it short, Father.” How much time will you give me today? Ten more minutes, thirty more minutes, or one hour? If I continue ten more hours, some of you, your fallen character will instigate you to crucify me, just like at the time of Jesus. Those people who were filled with greed and impatience made a big mistake then. So I don’t want to stand on that spot again today.</p>
|
||||
<p>Am I the host of this conference or am I a guest speaker? [Host.] I am not the host, I’m a guest here. I was invited. I even promised to come here. I was told that many prominent and respected religious leaders and scholars from all over the world were gathering here, so deep in my mind I had the desire to come and meet you face to face. But I was anxious whether Rev. Kwak was going to invite me or not. Finally he invited me, so I gladly came. Since I was invited as a special guest speaker here, you are in the position of the owners and hosts and hostesses. So will you give me time, whatever time I want to share what I want to share about God with you, or will you set the time and say, “Rev. Moon, stop?” [Answer is not unified.] I may not look handsome. But one thing you have to know about me: I am known as a champion of receiving persecution, opposition and criticism.</p>
|
||||
<p>So even today, even though you don’t like me spending too much time here, I can overcome that in a moment. So, can I still ask you to give me enough time? I would like one more time clearly, yes or no? [Yes.] I have heard. I have confidence I can talk for a long time.</p>
|
||||
<p>My conclusion. What is the most fervent desire of God. Can you say that? Love. Your answer is not good enough for me, I’m sorry. You may not believe my answer either, but I will have to tell you the truth from God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Is it true that the human ancestors, Adam and Eve, fell? How did they fall? Humankind has not known the answer. Why did God create Adam and Eve with the potential to fall? When the human fall took place at the time of Adam and Eve, why couldn’t God eradicate, erase them and recreate new ones? Eliminating [Father briefly inaudibly in English] Why couldn’t he do it?</p>

<p>You say love, but even when it comes to the love relationship, we see millions of millions of love relationships being cut off and separated and divorced, all kinds of disruption like that. Why couldn’t God do that?</p>
|
||||
<p>Throughout human history, God has been seeking the champion, the person who can solve this problem, the love relationship problem. That is why he has established the different major religions, so that people could work through those religious teachings. If God truly created Adam and Eve as his son and daughter, do you think God wished to see Adam and Eve disappear, destroyed, perish even after their fall, or to give love eternally? What if a gangster or robber came and put them in the bottom of the dungeon of hell, what do you think God will feel? Do you think God will kill that gangster who did that to his children? Then from where did this gangster or robber suddenly appear? Did God create such a robber or gangster, or did man?</p>
|
||||
<p>You ladies in the front row, did you wish to be born as a beautiful lady, or you did not know what was happening, but you suddenly became a lady? Again, I am asking you, did you wish that you could be born as a woman, or you did not know? But have you ever thought, “Oh, I wish I were born as a man?” [No, never.] [Laughter.] Then would you say you need man in your life? [Yes, for sure.] Then do you need your spouse, your husband, more than you need yourself? [Yes. No!] [Laughter.] Which one; man first, woman first? [I see myself through my spouse.] Who was created first, Adam, man or Eve, woman? [Adam.] Have you seen it? You just believe it. You believe it with absoluteness, right?</p>
|
||||
<p>Suppose either there is no man or no woman, just one single person. Do you think a world such as today’s modern world would appear like this? I have given this question to many western dignitaries and ministers, the question such as what is most important among love, life and lineage, and almost everybody says love, and some people say life. What about you? Do you need lineage, blood lineage? Do you need it? Love, life, [inaudible English]. In other words, if you exclude lineage and you stick with your love and your life, they will become extinct within your own generation because you don’t have your children to continue. If you stick with love only, you cannot have your descendants, the next generation following you. Am I right?</p>
|
||||
<p>So among these three, love, life and lineage, what is more important for our life? Do you want to just enjoy your life? Do you want to just enjoy the life of love in your lifetime, or do you want to leave your descendants behind? I don’t hear anyone with confidence saying lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Which is more important, which is your choice? If parents are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their children, to save their children, or the other way, children are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of saving their parents? There you can see the importance of lineage. Without having your parents, the lineage cannot continue. Children can be reproduced; you can have more children, but if parents are not there, the lineage of your parents will be no more there.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you understand that much? Are you with me? Do you have absolute belief then, that my children, my own children should become greater and greater than I am, greater than my spouse? [Hope] Hope is not strong enough. Can we find many parents in western society in today’s world who are truly willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their children?</p>
|
||||
<p>If we look at the different worlds like the animal kingdom, and even the insect world and the world of birds, almost all of the parents are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their offspring. Deer, tigers, even small insects. However, the master of all beings created by God, human beings, should be greater than those animals and insects, shouldn’t we?</p>
|
||||
<p>What about those mommies and daddies who abandon their newborn infants in a garbage can and run away, and all those miserable things that happen here? And when their parents become old and are no longer really useful, they send them to senior citizens homes here and there, and just turn their back on them. Is that the ideal world? Is it good enough to live just between you and your spouse? What about your lineage then? You have to have your children to continue your lineage. You have to recognize your grandparents, parents and children. That is the way the lineage continues. Isn’t it true?</p>
|
||||
<p>Initially the base is three generations, grandparents, parents and children. You wish to have your children, too, just like your parents wished to have you. If your parents are still alive, their wish to see your children, in other words, their grandchildren, is stronger than your wish to have your own children. When we have three generations like this, grandchildren are in the position to be able to receive two different levels of love, from their grandparents and from their parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the family of Adam, our human ancestors, who was in the position of the first generation? Adam? What about God? Was God the second generation? God was in the position of the first generation, the grandparents’ position.</p>
|
||||
<p>What about Adam and Eve? Second generation, the parents’ position. What about the children of Adam and Eve? Third generation. The children of Adam and Eve were supposed to be able to receive the love of God and the love of their physical parents. So these grandchildren were in the position of the owner of two nations, the heavenly world and the physical world.</p>
|
||||
[Father in English: Invisible God’s nation, flesh world king, two kinds of owner combined, love is grandchildren, isn’t it?] So in other words, the children of Adam and Eve were in the position to claim as the owner and king of the invisible world, the spirit world because they received love from God, the spiritual being directly, and of the physical world too, because they received love from their physical parents, Adam and Eve. That is the position they were in. The love from the king of the spirit world, the invisible world, and the king and queen of the physical world. In other words, since Adam and Eve, again, I reiterate here, Adam and Eve gave their children, the grandchildren of God, were in the position to inherit the love from the king of the invisible world, God, and the king and queen of the physical world, Adam and Eve, they were in the position to claim the entire cosmos, the spirit world and physical world in oneness. So they were in the position to claim as king and queen of the entire cosmos, all of heaven and earth. In other words, the third generation, the children of Adam and Eve, could achieve that goal.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you have grandchildren? In your life experience, do you think your love towards your grandchildren is greater than the love of your children for your grandchildren? You are not answering the question. I am sure you older, senior people have the same feeling, that you really wish to have your grandchildren. You want to hold your grandchildren more than your sons and daughters do? As an old man or woman, do you want to be sent to a senior citizens’ home or do you want to live with your little grandchildren and give your love to them and receive their love in a home environment? Which is your preference?</p>
|
||||
<p>By the same token, if we go back to the original history of humankind, at the time of creation God had the same desire and wish to hold and to live with his own grandchildren, even stronger than Adam and Eve’s desire to hold and live with their own children. That is the way the human lineage could have continued all the way down to us without having any stain. But unfortunately the human fall took place there.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because God was in the position of parent to all humankind even at the beginning of human history, God had his all plan. God is almighty, omniscient, therefore God had his plan to create the world of peace with billions and billions of people filling this universe. Therefore he had more desire, more hope, more future plans for his grandchildren to become his own grandchildren. But Adam and Eve on the other hand did not have this kind of plan for the future of humanity. They did not have this much in depth in terms of human history. That is why they paid less attention to their own children than God did.</p>
|
||||
<p>But then my question goes back even further. Has God ever had the chance to hold his own grandchildren? [All the time.] Who is in the position of God’s grandchildren, grandchild? [All of us, every generation.] I told you, we are all the descendants of fallen ancestors, not God. We have to know the meaning of the human fall. The fall caused the false life, false love and false lineage, nothing to do with God’s original love, life and lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Think about the time of the fall. Did Adam and Eve produce their children before the human fall took place or after they fell? That means the children of Adam and Eve were the descendants of, the result of, the human fall. Religious leaders must understand this. This is a very serious human problem to begin with.</p>
|
||||
<p>When Adam and Eve were chased out of the Garden of Eden were they alone, or did they have their children? [Alone.] That means they did not have children yet. In other words, the conclusion is that Adam and Eve had the potential to produce God’s own grandchildren, yet because they committed the fall God kicked them out of the Garden of Eden. This means even that potentiality of producing grandchildren was eliminated, which means God did not have any grandchildren up to this point. Are you with me? Do you understand this?</p>
|
||||
<p>So I’m challenging you again with this question. Are you the descendants of pure God’s lineage, or are you the descendants of fallen, false lineage?</p>
|
||||
<p>Starting from Adam and Eve, after they fell they produced their children, and continuing from that point on, generation after generation all the way down to us. Which, first or second, can you claim your lineage as God’s pure lineage? [Father’s English inaudible. All humankind, same race, same result, sin. Isn’t it? Yes or no? [Yes.] Clearly answer to me, yes or no? [Yes.]
|
||||
<p>Then what’s the meaning of salvation? [Through Jesus Christ.] We are talking about the time of Adam and Eve. Jesus was born 4,000 years after that. If there had not been the human fall, Adam and Eve would have become the true children of God, that means inheriting true life, true love and true lineage from God, and would have built a true family. From that point on the lineage of Adam and Eve going down generation after generation would have been the true lineage. But they could not do it. Again, without the human fall they could have served and attended God as their God of mind and heart, and their grandchildren could have served their father and mother, Adam and Eve, as the parents of their flesh, body, representing body. That way the human world would have continued all the way down having nothing to do with the fall. But because of the fall everything was lost, and we are still struggling between mind and body, constantly fighting, constantly debating. Do you agree?</p>
|
||||
<p>What about you? Do you always have absolute oneness between your mind and body or struggles? [Struggles.] Why? What about God? Do you think God has struggle between his mind and body? Then why do we? This clearly tells us that we are the descendants of fallen ancestors. Whether we like it or not, Satan’s blood is running through our veins. Satan’s life, love and lineage has been imprinted in our life. Invisible mind, heart has a connection with God, but because of our flesh, bodily desire connected to Satan, always struggle. The mind is in the position of plus and the body is supposed to be in the position of minus, but because of the fall, the body itself wants to become a plus position. That is why we are always struggling there.</p>
|
||||
<p>So what was stronger between mind and body before the fall of man, and at the time of the fall of man? What pulled what? Body pulled mind and caused the human fall or mind pulled body away from the fall? Bodily desire was there. As the Bible says, we will reap as it was sown. In the end, just like at the time of the human fall, we will see the rampant phenomenon all over the world that people just go with their own bodily desire. All kinds of dirty behaviors are everywhere in the world. This is truly the time to reap now.</p>
|
||||
<p>Without the fall, where do you think God’s true life, true love and true lineage would have been implanted? The tools to implant this true life, true lineage and true love is our love organ, for man and woman both.</p>
|
||||
[Father’s English: Not pure, original sexual organ. Now you have a fallen sexual organ, worst love, worst life, worst lineage connected to that kind of substantive being. You cannot deny it. That’s true, isn’t it? Yes or no?</p>
|
||||
<p>Yes! [Yes!] Yes means “inherit.” Because of the fall of man, what was supposed to be the original, pure, genuine love organs have turned into the false, evil organs, and have been misused all throughout human history. That is what we are facing in today’s world. Don’t we see that almost all the families in the world are facing some level of problems now relating to the sexual problem? Isn’t that true?</p>
|
||||
<p>So, since we all have families, spouses, one way or another we are in the position of king of all of those problem makers. All different levels, individual level, family level, society, nation and world, cosmos. So, since God is the essence of true life, true lineage and true love, when God looks at this dirty, stained, evil world He doesn’t want to touch it or put His hand on anything.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the identity of Satan? Satan is the enemy of God, His love enemy. Satan took away God’s own children. Where God was supposed to dwell, Satan invaded there. Where God wanted to have all humanity as his own children, Satan came in and destroyed everything spiritually, and stained everyone.</p>
|
||||
<p>So then how can we save this fallen, hopeless humanity? Only two ways. One way is to repair the damaged and broken parts and make them normal. Or the second way is to eliminate and recreate everything.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you know where you can find this body shop, repair shop? Religions, the major religions are the repair shops to mend broken human beings. Therefore you are all broken machines, broken humans. You have no freedom, no rights until you are fully repaired. Isn’t it true? But in order to do the repair job God needs a blueprint. But you don’t have that blueprint. Do you know the blueprint for yourself to be repaired? How can God teach you the details of the blueprint for you? The secret is getting rid of the struggle between mind and body in every step of your life. Where there is conflict between mind and body, regardless of your status, your position or your education, God cannot come there. Always Satan is there. There is fighting between Islam and Christianity. Do you think God will be there? So there has to be a movement to unite them, to harmonize them.</p>
|
||||
<p>There cannot be two different types of repair shop. There is only one kind, because God’s blueprint is the only one available. Where can you find this unique repair shop to mend all these? After the fall God told people that he would send the messiah, centering on the Israelites. In other words, God would provide the repair shop to repair everyone. That is the position Jesus Christ came in, as the messiah to repair all the broken human beings.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then who was the owner of that repair shop at the time of Jesus, Judaism or Israel? At the time neither Judaism nor the country of Israel knew about the ownership or the blueprint of God for repair. Only Jesus who came as the messiah had that blueprint and knew the job, knew what to do. In order to repair either a machine or a human being, we have to find out what went wrong. So when it comes to the problem of broken human beings, it is because of the false use of the love organ. In other words, false love relationship, false marriage, false family were the cause of this broken human body, human lives. That is why Jesus had to establish new, God-centered, pure, true individuals and families and nations, and even unite the Roman Empire in his lifetime. That was his mission.</p>
|
||||
<p>Suppose Jesus was not crucified at that early age. Don’t you think he could have completed his repair shop and done his mission in his lifetime? It does not matter Judaism or the country of Israel, every identity, everybody would have surrendered to God and Jesus. In other words, Jesus should have been able to handle every person as God wished. In other words, centering on Judaism, if all the Israelites had truly united with Jesus, even if they sacrificed their own lives, at that time the repair job was to have been done. The Israelites would have become the central people of humanity. The entire world would have been united. This kind of conflict in the Middle East between Muslims, Christians and Jews would not even have been here.</p>
|
||||
<p>Think about the Muslims. When you came out of exile in Egypt, among the twelve tribes, your tribe was actually supposed to build the nation in the Middle East, God’s nation. However, in medieval times, because of the failure of Christianity, Christianity was pushed into the corner by humanistic views and ideologies such as communism, and humanism. It was supposed to be God-centeredism. If at the time of Jesus such a thing had happened, there would not have been any Christianity or Islam whatsoever. There would just have been the God-centered family, one family under the sun.</p>
|
||||
<p>At the time of Jesus, God had already prepared a good enough environment in all the different corners of the world. Like in China, and the rivers in the Middle East and here and there, every environment was set, even in India too. Therefore Jesus could have united the entire world and begun the kingdom of heaven on earth right here, centered on Jesus. Without opposition from Judaism and the Israelites and from the Roman Empire, Jesus could have included the people from India, even the Euphrates River and the Tigris River, and those people would have been included to build this kingdom on earth. Again, if that had happened Christianity would not have appeared.</p>
|
||||
<p>But think about Jesus’ life. Jesus came as the messiah to secure the pure three generations of God-centered lineage. The first Adam failed. Jesus came as the second Adam. He should have established to the national level, in other words even to have encompassed the Roman Empire as a nation. There would not even have been the prediction of a Second Coming. It would not have been needed. Therefore I can tell you clearly that the ignorance of Judaism, the Israelites and the Roman Empire caused Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. Again, think about it. If Judaism and the country of Israel had united centering on Jesus’ teaching and leadership they could have conquered even the Roman Empire. That would have been a strong enough base to conquer the entire world centered on God. The failure of the first Adam, losing God’s true life, true lineage, true love. Therefore as the second Adam, Jesus came to re-establish this true life, love and lineage from God.</p>
|
||||
<p>It was just like the engrafting process from wild olive trees to true olive trees. That process was taking place. All the peripheral religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism existed at that time. They could have naturally been absorbed by this. God did not particularly seek to see Hinduism, or Buddhism, or Christianity. God wanted to see from the beginning the one family under God. No religion, but family. We must know this by heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because of the crucifixion of Jesus, Christianity appeared, but could not provide salvation both physically and spiritually, only spiritually, because Jesus had already gone into the spirit world. That is why Christianity has been remaining as the religion of the bride. Do you agree that Christianity is seen as the religion of bride? Because the bridegroom Jesus was lost, that is why as an alternative the Holy Spirit comes in the position of bride and has affected many peoples’ lives in their life of faith. So therefore I can tell you clearly, you may worship in front of the cross, but the cross is the symbol of crucifixion, execution, nothing to be worshipped.</p>
|
||||
<p>Forty days after the resurrection of Jesus he came to his disciples and other people spiritually. Only on a spiritual level he taught them. He revived them. Because of the fall of man, Adam and Eve inherited false life, false love, false lineage. Therefore they became false parents, false couples. That is why when Jesus came as the savior, the messiah, he had to reconnect to God with true life, love and lineage, and build the true olive tree field. No more wild olive trees.</p>
|
||||
<p>If God is in the position of the first generation, Jesus came as the second generation. Therefore Jesus was supposed to have his own children who would be in the position of God’s grandchildren. If that had happened, Jesus would not have been crucified. No one would have dared to crucify him. However, because of the disbelief of the people at that time the crucifixion took place, and this goal was not accomplished.</p>
|
||||
<p>God wanted to see the end of religions. Judaism was supposed to be the end of religions for humanity. But because of the failure again, Jesus was crucified and new religions appeared, and religions still continue up this point. The first generation and second generations, Adam’s and Jesus. generations, these two generations were gone. So now the time of the Lord of the Second Advent, which is the time of the third Adam, is the period of completion. Therefore this is the period when the Second Advent takes place. His mission is to complete these three generations centered on true life, true love and true lineage to God. That is the base. That is why centering on God’s lineage, true lineage, true love and true life, this Lord of the Second Advent should offer the blessing to all humanity to cleanse their lineage, to engraft their lineage from the wild olive trees to true olive trees, to God. Marriage blessing. [Father briefly in English – After fallen worst parents, worst blood lineage. True, third Adam appearing, erasing everything clean up that. How can that combine ideal couples over the nation, over the cosmos world.] This unification of both the physical world and the spiritual world should be completed at the time of the Lord of the Second Advent, because he comes as the third Adam.</p>
|
||||
<p>Look at the world now. Truly this is the end of the world. The United Nations is all divided and separated, scattered in many different directions. Look at the countries now. Where is the direction everybody is following? No ownership, no leadership in the world. Is President Bush the owner of this country? Is Kofi Annan the owner of the United Nations? The same thing in China, in Russia. The presidents, the prime ministers are not the owner or true leader of the nation. We cannot see any true leader, true owner of any nation. Centering on true life, true love and true lineage, no one can claim to be the true leader or true owner of this world. God does not recognize anyone like that. That is why God sends the Lord of the Second Advent, and centering on this figure God wants to see the true love line, true life line and true lineage line reestablished, so that all humanity can be benefited, can be blessed through the Lord of the Second Advent again.</p>
|
||||
<p>I’m telling you, recently all those saints and sages in the spirit world beginning from Jesus Christ, all of them testified to Rev. Moon saying that Rev. Moon is the true savior, messiah and true parents to humankind. I did not ask them to testify. They came forward with such an endorsement, such a statement, such a testimony. Not because I wanted to hear that or I wanted them to say that, but because of the obligation they felt when they learned about the truth and the reality in the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>In general the major religions throughout history have encouraged people to live a single life. But now this is a totally different time, the time of family. So even those religious leaders should receive the marriage blessing, because the kingdom of God is where you can only enter as a family, not as an individual. You need your family, true family. That is why you need the marriage blessing. That is the only way you can reconnect your lineage, your love life, your life to God. And that is the only way you can produce your sinless, true children. When you establish three generations like that, you can enter the kingdom naturally, as a family. This is the base unit to enter the kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>That is why the Unification movement, Rev. Moon’s mission is to unify this entire world through this true marriage blessing and even unify the spirit world and build the kingdom of God on earth, the world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Practically speaking, what does Rev. Moon, being Korean have to do with Islam? What does he have to do with Christianity? Only because of the command from God, because I know what God’s hope is. As I told you earlier, I have to believe in what even God cannot believe. I have to do my mission even to the level that God cannot do. That is my conviction.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s heavenly strategy throughout history has been that of being hit first, and in return taking everything back. That is the law of indemnity. I am sure many of you opposed me and persecuted me without knowing what I am doing. Even here in America, since I came here many Christians, Jews and other religious people opposed me. Even those communists in this country instigated many people to chase me out of the country.</p>
|
||||
<p>But the time has come. A new era has dawned with the logo of “Chun Il Guk.” That means, practically, the kingdom of God on earth. The spirit world and physical world, right wing and left wing, the Muslims and Christians, everybody work together and become united and live as one family. That is the meaning of Chun Il Guk. The world of peace will be possible only where there are no national boundaries and no boundaries between religions. Also we can build this world of peace through having these inter-religious, international marriages among our children. Jewish children and Islamic children marry together, and communist children and children from the democratic world marry together and we all become in-law families and eventually become one family. Isn’t it true?</p>
|
||||
<p>Think about the moment when Cain actually killed Abel. The heart of God was in such pain and tears. Originally the elder son was supposed to give love to his younger brother, but instead of doing that there was a killing there. One person killed at that time, God’s heart was broken. But when you look at the world today think about it, tens of thousands of people are being killed and dying of starvation. Do you think God’s heart is at peace?</p>
|
||||
<p>God created the angels before the creation of Adam and Eve. I am telling you, we have to repair everyone. We have to eliminate all these religions and shuffle them together to start as one family under God, otherwise there is no hope. So the true, the real repair shop for all the religious people, all the different races at this time period is the Unification movement, whether you believe it or not.</p>
|
||||
<p>That is why I am telling you, the saints in the spirit world, the sages, they are all testifying that Rev. Moon is the only one who can unify, unite the entire world, regardless of religion and race. I did not ask them to say that, but if you do not follow this direction they will descend to you and make you work for that, whether you like it or not.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this confusing world, enemies kill each other. Think about it. If this kind of trend of conflict, friction and war continues, every corner of the world will be killing each other. Oh, you are a Jew; oh, you are a Muslim; oh, you are Christian; oh, you are a communist. If this kind of trend continues, where can we find hope for the future of humanity? Only God-centered Godism can unite everybody and embrace everybody and build one family under God, one family, true family.</p>
|
||||
<p>At the time of Adam and Eve, as I told you, God lost three generations. He lost His children, and His grandchildren. Now these three generations have to be restored. Those who feel that yes, we need that kind of movement and campaign and work for God strongly, show your hands please. Can I trust you?</p>
|
||||
<p>Again I am telling you, the most simple way, it may sound a little bit unrealistic to you, but the simplest and most secretive way of building one family under God is the so-called exchange marriage between Jews and Muslims, between communists and free world people. Take Korea, for example. If the leader of Korea, Kim Jong Il’s children, and President Noh of South Korea’s children, if they marry together, if through marriage this enemy relationship can be eliminated, God will work with us to secure one true family under God.</p>
|
||||
<p>And then if the time comes that the entire United Nation votes yes, let’s invite Rev. Moon who is the champion of inter-religious, interracial, international marriage, and have him give the blessing to all of humanity, it won’t take longer than a week to restore humanity.</p>
|
||||
<p>I can proclaim that. The solution is not far away. It is right here. We have to work for it. If we become the true blessed family, blessed couples we can bless our relatives, our cousin’s family, our nephew’s family. It can multiply like wildfire. The time is here now that even if they don’t like it you have to even use your force to go through this blessing, because it is for the sake of their family. Later on when they realize that was truly blessing from God, they will be grateful to you.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I say such things, maybe it sounds controversial to you, because you think I am a king of gangsters or terrorists? What do you think? If I were a terrorist or gangster, I wouldn’t even be here. I have been teaching this for the last 80 years.</p>
|
||||
<p>What about you? If I propose here that between the leaders of Judaism, the leaders of Islam and the leaders of Christianity you do exchange marriage, in other words, inter-religious, international marriage, would you follow my direction? If you are not confident about it, send your candidates and I will educate them for 40 days. Then 100 percent will agree with it and they will go through this.</p>
|
||||
<p>Would you do that? God wants it. Your ancestors, your saints, and the founders of your religion want it. If you don’t believe what I am saying, go and pray tonight. Pray about it. Pray to the founders of your religion about what I am saying today. To Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, to whomever you are centered on, even Confucius. They will give you a clear answer if you are truly praying. They are probably waiting for your prayer.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you want to become bad people or good people? Then would you do that if it is the command from God? If you truly practice this interracial, international, inter-religious marriage through your children and grandchildren, you will be the ones who enter the kingdom of God first, because you overcame the enemy, you loved the enemy, showing through practice, between even blacks and whites, interracial. The white folks are descendants of the polar bear. The black folks may be the descendants of the black bear hanging around in the tropical region and eating fruits. It is natural making that kind of phenomenon, result.</p>
|
||||
<p>Why do the white folks have blue eyes? At the North Pole you see nothing else but white snow and blue water. If you fly over the North Pole, you can see how blue the color of the water is. On the other hand, those people who live in tropical regions, there are so many dangerous animals so you have to adjust yourself with the color of nature, so you maybe adopted the color of black or brown. The hunting culture race, fighting culture race is white people. Is that true? I don’t know, you know well, more than me. What about the yellow race? They have been engaged in farming, so what do the farmers do? They sit down and look at the sky for rainfall. So they naturally resemble the earth colors, brown and yellow. What about religious people. What do they do? They usually kneel down and pray to God. That is why the four great saints all came from Asia, the farming continent. Isn’t it true?</p>
|
||||
<p>What about the problem between mainly blacks and whites? Suppose the messiah, the Lord of the Second Coming comes as a white person and tries to unite and harmonize everyone. Probably black people would stab him to death. And vice versa. But luckily Rev. Moon came as a different race, representing the Asian race. That is why he can stand in between and mediate, and facilitate and harmonize them.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because Rev. Moon can teach people clearly about God and the spirit world and about religions and Jesus and the Bible and history more than anyone else, more clearly than anybody else, that is why God even trusted Rev. Moon to do his mission here for the sake of all humanity.</p>

<p>The time is different now, I’m telling you. The spirit world is completely open and mobilized to help people in this physical world. For example, President Wahid, his Excellency is here. Of course he believes in Rev. Moon’s work, but if he does not believe I suggest that he should bring representatives from Indonesia, the major parts of the tribes, like 120 people. Then I will give them clear teaching and see at the end of the training what they say. If they do not follow God’s command, the spirit world, their good ancestors will come down and even force them to do God’s work. I have confidence now. If don’t follow him, it will make a problem for your tribe, your lineage place. The spirit world will not stay still any more. They will come down and involve themselves in our lives.</p>
|
||||
<p>So now my question. Do you believe Rev. Moon’s statements and teaching this morning? Yes? Those who said yes, show your left hand. Why, because the left hand represents Satan’s side. So now you surrendered Satan. No more Satan.</p>
|
||||
<p>His excellency President Wahid here heard this speech already, because Rev. Moon gave this particular speech at the United Nations conference in September last year. At that time there was some opposition and some discrimination because of what we are trying to do. But in the midst of opposition Rev. Moon clearly delivered this message to the world. The satanic world opposed. But this time I see warm welcome, because this represents the entire religious world. So, I would like to give this message to you too, but we are running out of time.</p>
|
||||
<p>But there is one condition if you want to be released now. Since you were all given the text of my speech, which I wanted to deliver to begin with, if you promise that you will read this speech at least three times, in your home, or on your way back in your airplane, I will quit delivering this speech here. I will trust you. Can you do that? Now, show your right hands. Thank you. Both hands. Thank you very much. God bless you.</p>

|
||||
December 13, 2004</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders from countries around the world, representing all religions and nations! Let us first gather our hearts together. Let us sincerely offer glory and gratitude to God, the True Parent of all creation and Lord of true love. And let us make today a day of the greatest value, a day that will be remembered as having provided a new foundation for America.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Cold War held humanity captive to fear and insecurity for half a century. Communist machinations and duplicity deceived people of faith and all humankind. That has ended. We live in a new century. And yet, how secure and happy are we?</p>
|
||||
<p>Look at the world. Young people, now liberated from the yoke of communism, are enjoying their freedom to such an extent that they are in danger of running pell-mell off the cliff of debauchery. Instead of seeking God’s ideal of creation, they embrace the perspective of selfish individualism and become slaves to free sex. This gives rise to all manner of social evils. Homosexual activists have hoisted the flag of the so-called “gay” movement. They advocate marriage between people of the same sex. Put simply, this is barbaric and it infuriates Heaven and humanity. Imagine, for a moment, the world that would result from what they advocate. Humanity would become extinct within two generations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Those who turn away from Heaven’s will dig their own graves in the soil of decadence and immorality. The evil of this age has its own punishing consequences. The incurable disease known as AIDS is a sign of this from Heaven. Even as we sit here, is not this cursed plague infecting thousands of innocent people? Is it not casting them onto the path of death?</p>
|
||||
<p>Another plague, known as divorce, is destroying family values. It is throwing humanity into an unprecedented crisis. Children suddenly find themselves separated from one parent and being raised by a stepfather or stepmother. In some cases, they are even placed in foster homes and orphanages. They are not at fault, yet their tiny hearts are left with scars that will never heal. Who will compensate them for the parental love that was snatched away from them?</p>
|
||||
<p>Then we turn our eyes to the conflict in the Middle East. What began as a struggle between religions is now grinding the entire world in a crucible of fear over terrorism and murder. Meanwhile, the Korean peninsula, my homeland, tragically remains the world’s only divided nation. It still awaits its day of unification with deep longing. By what means can we possibly save today’s world, where morality and family values are utterly degraded?</p>
|
||||
<p>Leaders from around the world, tonight I would like to convey to you a new message from God to the six billion people living in this age. It is both His commandment and a revelation. The title of this message is “Our Mission in the Last Days of Providential History.”</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Manifestation of the True Parents</h3>
|
||||
<p>The fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors, imprisoned us within the dungeon of false love, false life and false lineage. We drag the chains of a history of unfathomable damnation and resentment. All people without exception have inherited Satan’s false blood lineage accumulated through a history of thousands and tens of thousands of years. We are trapped by that history, with no choice but to lead speckled lives littered with falsehood and evil. This is humanity’s fate. There is no escape from this predicament, regardless of human effort.</p>
|
||||
<p>Humanity has waited eagerly for the day when someone would save us from our fallen condition. Humanity writhes in agony, engulfed by evil and falsehood, because due to the fall of the first human ancestors everyone is bound to the filthy and dreadful lineage of Satan. Therefore humanity awaits the coming of someone who is of the lineage of Heaven and has no relation to Satan’s lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the True Parents, who are able to liberate us from the Satan’s bondage.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must understand that humankind is in a position to consider Satan our parent. In biblical terms, we are in the position of wild olive trees, separated from the true root. The True Parents, who are sent as the Savior and Messiah of all humanity, have the mission to ruthlessly cut down the wild olive trees that have been growing for thousands and tens of thousands of years and graft them into the true olive tree. This represents the change of humanity’s blood lineage. The True Parents come to complete this great revolutionary endeavor on an inter-religious and international level.</p>
|
||||
<p>The True Parents do not appear just because someone wants it, or anywhere at any time. They can manifest only in the providential Last Days. The term “Last Days” means the moment when the restoration providence, which Heaven has carried forward throughout history, bears its final fruit. In other words, we meet the original era of the True Parents only in conjunction with heavenly fortune.</p>
|
||||
<p>The providence to save humanity is administered by Heaven, so how can you know where you stand in it? Only the True Parents, who come with Heaven’s love, life and lineage, know the providential time. Knowing the providential time, they work in line with it to bring the providence to its conclusion. Only the True Parents come with the authority to govern the spirit world. By this authority they have mobilized the leaders of the four major religions and myriads of good ancestors in order to take responsibility for your eternal life.</p>
|
||||
<p>Leaders from around the world! While you were unaware of it, humankind has entered a new realm of grace. Heavenly fortune has arrived. I openly declare to Heaven and Earth that I have received Heaven’s anointing and that I have been entrusted with the mission to be humanity’s True Parent. We are now in the Last Days of God’s providence. This is the era of the Holy Blessing, by which humanity’s lineage is changed from Satan’s lineage to Heaven’s lineage. Now the Era After the Coming of Heaven is unfolding within the realm of Ssang-hab Shib-seung. In the Era Before the Coming of Heaven, those who pursued evil prospered and it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Now Heaven no longer condones that diseased and disordered world!</p>
|
||||
<p>Have powerful hope, as you live in accordance with the path of Heaven. You can come to resemble God, with His attributes being absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal. Practice a life of living for the sake of others, and you will go through a revolution of character. Following this path will enable us to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth that is, the Peace Kingdom, where we all can live together. Heaven has longed passionately to see this come to pass.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Mission of Homeland Liberation</h3>
|
||||
<p>The term, “homeland liberation,” may sound unfamiliar. You probably think that you never lost your homeland, so you have no need to recover it. The homeland to which I refer today, however, is different from the one you usually think of. I refer to the original homeland, the Kingdom of God on Earth that was lost at the fall of the first ancestors, Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<p>What would the world have been like had the fall not occurred? God would have blessed Adam and Eve in marriage. They would have produced children who were sinless and true, and become true parents. That family would have served as the nucleus of the Kingdom of God on Earth. The children would have formed the realm of God’s third generation. Centering on God, they would have established an eternal kingdom of peace on this Earth. Adam and Eve would have been the king and queen of an Adamic tribe, Adamic people, and Adamic nation that represented the realm of three ages. Adam’s kingdom would have continued eternally. That would have been humanity’s eternal homeland, the Peace Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately, history did not start out that smoothly. The fall of Adam and Eve orphaned humanity for thousands and tens of thousands of years. We lost our homeland and lived like vagabonds drifting here and there, begging for food. Humanity was to have attended God as the vertical True Parent. All the world’s people would have lived as one family in accordance with the principles of absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Instead, we find ourselves divided from one another by all manner of barriers and international boundaries planted by Satan.</p>
|
||||
<p>What, then, is the true meaning of homeland liberation? How do we begin to accomplish it? Homeland liberation means to transform this world into a new nation, the true homeland. We will not find this homeland anywhere in today’s world. It emerges out of a process of re-creation through love. God’s new homeland has no borders. It is a part of the original creation that bears no relationship to the fall. So homeland liberation begins with a life of true love, in which we love even our enemies.</p>
|
||||
<p>If we sow soybeans, we will harvest soybeans, and if we sow red beans, we will harvest red beans. If we sow revenge, which is Satan’s seed, we will harvest an evil fruit, more bloodshed. On the other hand, wherever we sow true love, by forgiving and embracing our enemies, a tree of goodness will grow. This is the law of the universe, and it never fails. We find humanity’s true homeland, the homeland of the true God, on the path of loving our enemies. This path begins with loving our individual enemies, and extends to loving our family’s enemies, our tribe’s enemies, our nation’s enemies, and the world’s enemies. This is how we establish the tradition of true love, true life and true lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>As world leaders, what do you consider your mission? As long as Satan’s sovereignty rules the world, you do not really have a country. I know there are some 200 countries in the world, but has even one nation brought God’s will into reality? Is even one a true homeland for God and humanity? The world’s six billion people, through no fault of their own, were born as Satan’s descendants, carrying the false lineage. Irrespective of whether you are citizens of the United States, Japan, or whatever nation, Satan’s love, Satan’s life and Satan’s filthy blood still flow in your body. Unless you remove this stained legacy of the fall from yourselves, you will never realize the dream of homeland liberation. For this, you each must experience a revolution of character, a true love revolution.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Three Great Revolutions of True Love</h3>
|
||||
<p>How can we accomplish a revolution of character and come to resemble God? Because we descended from the fall and are born with fallen nature, each of us must go through three great revolutions in order to accomplish the perfection of our character. I call these 1) the revolution through making atonement, 2) the revolution of conscience, and 3) the revolution of heart.</p>
|
||||
<p>The “revolution through making atonement” means to recover your internal and external right of ownership by completely atoning for the past. After you have done this victoriously, you then live by a standard beyond that for which any atonement is required. This requires that you purge yourself completely of all the habits and thoughts that you accumulated during the Age Before the Coming of Heaven. It is completed when you accomplish it in the realms of the individual, family and nation.</p>
|
||||
<p>On that basis you can fulfill and perfect an ideal family, a family of true love based upon the absolute values that are the standard for life in the Age After the Coming of Heaven. In God’s family ideal, these absolute values are perfected in a three-generation family composed of parents, husband and wife, and children.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only after the birth of their children can a man and woman stand in the position of owners of true parental love. Only after marrying and cherishing his wife is a man able to own true conjugal love. Similarly, it is the younger sibling that makes the older sibling an owner of true sibling love. Thus, in any relationship, it is the object-partner who places the subject-partner in the position of an owner of true love. To fulfill this position the subject-partner must live for the sake of that object-partner, invest in that person and forget that investment, and sacrifice for the sake of a greater purpose. Here we create absolute values that are eternal and unchanging. In this way, parents, husband and wife, and children bring each other to perfection as owners of true love. Thereby they form a three-generational realm in the family. The family settles into an eternal realm of unity. They live with absolute values in interdependence and eternal communion with God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Further, you take the revolutionary step of returning all your property and ownership rights to Heaven. Give up your lingering attachments. This cuts all your ties with the satanic world and separates you from Satan. In exchange, you will inherit all those things and more with Heaven’s blessing. In other words, you will accumulate Heaven’s riches, riches that have been separated from Satan and over which Satan can never again claim ownership.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the “revolution of conscience”? It is an inner revolution by which you become absolutely obedient to your conscience. You cannot deny that you endure an unending struggle within. Your conscience, which tends toward goodness, struggles against the desires of the flesh. To bring an end to this shame-ridden inner conflict, you need to clearly understand the conscience and its function.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your conscience possesses pinpoint awareness of your every action, every step and every thought. It knows before your spiritual teacher knows. It knows before your parents know. It knows before God knows. And it tells you the right action to take in every instance. What results from violation of the conscience? You feel guilt. Dust settles on your soul; it becomes filthy and scarred. These scars on your soul cannot be removed for eternity. They are fearful baggage that you take with you when you enter the spirit world. I am voicing a supreme command that you work in a revolutionary way to overcome your physical desires, accept the guidance of your conscience, and live in oneness with Heaven’s will. Treasure the unblemished, clean and pure state of your soul.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the third revolution, the “revolution of heart”? God created human beings as His children. What, then, is the tie that binds you and God together? It is the true love and true heart that exist between a parent and child. If a parent and child do not communicate with true heart, how can they possibly maintain a relationship of true love and true respect?</p>
|
||||
<p>We have lived for thousands of years within the realm of the fall. Our hearts continue to be enslaved under false parents, false love and false lineage. To remove this yoke, you must live with true love, forgiving, giving and sacrificing continually. This is the life that Satan hates most. By doing this, you return to the realm where God’s heart rules.</p>
|
||||
<p>If your heart is still bound by selfish individualism and still pursues the vain glory of the satanic world, you are on a dark and dismal path whose end is despair and lamentation. On the other hand, if you lead a constructive life, being the first to yield and give to others, then your heart will be bound in eternal oneness with God’s heart. This requires that you first sever your heart’s ties to the false parent and be engrafted onto God’s lineage through the Holy Marriage Blessing instituted by the True Parents. Through the True Parents, who are incarnations of the invisible God, you will secure the true love and lineage of Heaven.</p>

<h3>The Mission of the Personal Emissary</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected ladies and gentlemen, until today you have led fairly conventional lives. Now, however, I call you to take on a mission as Heaven’s direct emissary.</p>
|
||||
<p>As individuals, there are many differences among us. We are large and small, wide and narrow, tall and short. Despite our differences, God is commissioning us to become Heaven’s direct emissaries. Let us be patriots who proudly uphold Heaven’s lineage of goodness. Let us stand resolutely, with heavenly authority, and answer the call to liberate our homeland.</p>
|
||||
<p>How can you qualify for the mission of Heaven’s personal emissary? You must desire the liberation of your homeland a thousand times, even ten thousand times more than your desire for the present reality. You must be determined to liberate the homeland even at the sacrifice of your life. Eating or sleeping, coming or going, every action you take should be for the sake of establishing the Peace Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Bible teaches, “Seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness.” Go forward with confidence, because while your body may belong to the realm of the satanic world, you have been reborn with a true lineage. You are Heaven’s direct emissary for the purpose of establishing the homeland.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you recognize God’s plight? He is a Parent who, in one instant, lost His children, was forced to suffer a history of maltreatment, and was blocked at every turn as he sought to unfold His will. Let us become filial sons and daughters capable of understanding this sorrowful heart of God. How can you be leaders unless you know the truth and practice it?</p>
|
||||
<p>Leaders of the world, please think deeply about how you came to be here today. Did you simply come half out of sincerity and half out of curiosity, hoping to enjoy a Christmas party? Whether you like it or not, you have now received Heaven’s call. I suddenly received Heaven’s command when I was a young man of sixteen. I accepted His call, and ever since I have spent my entire life, over 80 years, walking a course of blood, sweat and tears. It was to rescue humanity from Satan’s dominion and to bring God into a state of true liberation and complete freedom. Just as I did, you too can now accomplish the exalted will of God for harmony and peace on an inter-religious and international level. That is, you can complete the sacred task of establishing the homeland.</p>
|
||||
<p>You and Reverend Moon are one, with the common denominator being absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. You as well as I are to be true parents and kings and queens of peace. Today, heavenly fortune is with us.</p>
|
||||
<p>We now have the opportunity to establish our common homeland that will also be Heaven’s homeland. That homeland requires sovereignty, territory and godly people. Heaven’s lineage of goodness must extend powerfully throughout that homeland. The pulse of God’s providential history must be felt there in a way that cannot be experienced anywhere else. If it is possible to build this homeland right now, how can you hesitate? Please complete the mission of Heaven’s direct emissary. Please live as prophets who have been given the promise of eternal life.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, I recently founded the Mongolian Peoples’ Federation for World Peace, a movement to bring together people of Mongolian descent from throughout the world. My intent certainly is not nationalistic. This is a comprehensive movement for peace. The people of Mongolian ancestry are the descendants of Cain and Shem, the eldest sons of Adam and Noah, respectively. God called Noah’s family to restore through indemnity the historical errors committed by Adam’s family. Now, in the final period of the providence, Sham’s descendants can accomplish their mission as the first born among humanity. Thus, it is a movement to comfort God’s heart of pain over Adam’s family, which lost Abel by murder and waited 130 years to establish Seth. It is a movement to make the world into one brotherhood and one family by enabling us to tear down the walls of the heart that divide us, that all humanity might live together in a society characterized by interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values. It is a providential step to hasten the establishment of God’s homeland.</p>
|
||||
<p>I think we should return gratitude and glory to God and True Parents. They have enlightened us about the incredible providential age in which we are living. They even have bestowed on us the glorious mission to establish Heaven’s kingship as direct emissaries. Through all eternity, we will gratefully glorify and praise True Parents, who have inaugurated the Era of the Opening of Heaven and Earth After the Coming of Heaven. Therefore, we offer this Coronation Ceremony for the Peace King to True Parents today. This is unprecedented in history and will never be repeated in the future. True Parents have established the realm of true liberation and complete freedom.</p>
|
||||
<p>Just as the sun rises with brilliant light in the eastern sky, heavenly fortune is now shining upon all people. The curtain of darkness that shrouded us for thousands and tens of thousands of years is drawing back at last. The divine command to complete Heaven’s will is taking root in your hearts. This is a path of destiny you cannot avoid. Therefore be courageous and stand up! We have the Age after the Coming of Heaven working with us. You can experience with certainty the meaning of Jesus’ teaching that those who lose their life will live and those who seek their life will die. Let us resolve heroically to do whatever it takes to complete the sacred task of homeland liberation and establish the Peace Kingdom, God’s ideal of creation on this planet Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please engrave the heavenly command you received today deep in your heart. From this time forward, as a leader chosen by God to build the Fatherland, you must pledge to lead a beautiful and precious life. Everyone here without exception will eventually pass on to the spirit world. You do not want to carry with you any regret.</p>
|
||||
<p>Today I have conveyed to you God’s message for the new era. I pray that God’s blessings will forever be upon you, your families, and your mission as His direct emissaries.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p class="s0"><i>The following address, delivered by True Father, was presented in Seoul, Korea at the Olympic Gymnasium on August 20, 2005, to a gathering of more than fifteen thousand dignitaries from Korea and abroad, including many Ambassadors for Peace, and marking the 1<sup>st</sup> anniversary of the International Leadership Convocation, sponsored by the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, when True Father was honored at a venue at the National Assembly in Korea, with the “King of Peace” award.</i></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Respected guests from home and abroad, beloved Blessed Families:</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the work you are doing in many places around the world to establish God’s homeland and bring peace to humanity. We are gathered here today to commemorate the historic days in 2004 when ceremonies were held at venues on both Capitol Hill in the United States and the National Assembly in Korea, honoring me with a crowning as “King of Peace.” As it happens, this is also the 20th<sup> </sup>anniversary of the day I was freed from Danbury prison in the United States after achieving victory over the difficulties of incarceration there. That was the last of six times in my life when it became necessary for me to be imprisoned due to persecution and unjust accusations.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">On this meaningful day, I would like to convey to you Heaven’s message concerning the value of the Holy Marriage Blessing and its significance. The title of my remarks is “<i><u>The Holy Marriage Blessing Is the Path to Unite the Virtues of Heaven and Earth and Harmonize and Unify the Universe as One.</u></i>”</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0"><b><i>The Family of the Ideal of Creation</i></b></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Beloved guests, in what form does God, the Creator of all things in the universe, exist? God exists as the dual characteristics of a subject partner in the male position and object partner in the female position. God created Adam and Eve, the first human ancestors, by dividing the male and female positions within Himself. The children of Adam and Eve were to have been created in the same pattern of male and female as a result of the union formed by Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">God’s creation takes place according to this principle of origin, division, and union. God is the first generation, Adam and Eve were the second generation, and the children of Adam and Eve were to have stood in the position of the third generation. These three generations were to have formed a single family. God gave His blessing so that sinless descendants could be multiplied through myriads of generations. This is how God created human beings.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">If Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection in accordance with God’s will – that is, if they had achieved the perfection of their character – and entered into conjugal relations with His blessing and accomplished a perfect oneness with Him, then a bond would have been formed enabling God to reside within them. Also, their children would have been linked to a holy order of love enabling them to form bonds of parent-child relationships directly with God. This is God’s greatest blessing to humanity.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">In general terms, to bless someone means that we pray for their good fortune. What, then, is the zenith, the apex of good fortune? What is the most precious aspect of good fortune? It is not money. Nor is it fame. It is not power or knowledge. If Adam and Eve had only been able to marry with God’s blessing and multiply sinless children, this would have been the most precious of all blessings. All creation would have responded with joy, and it would have been the day of God’s greatest joy as well. It would be the place where the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and the Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven meet.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">What would have happened if God’s creation in the Garden of Eden had ended with man and there had been no woman? The miracle of all miracles is that men and women exist together in this world. For only one to exist would be the same as no existence at all. Humankind would have ended in less than a hundred years. It is only when men and women are together that the heavenly path can be established and ethics and moral principles have their beginning.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">So the marriage of the perfected Adam and Eve would have been God’s own marriage. God would have remained as God, but also Adam and Eve would have become the embodiment of God. Adam and Eve would have become God’s body, and God would have settled inside their minds to become humanity’s True Parent in both spiritual and physical aspects.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0"><b><i>Fall and Restoration</i></b></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">But, ladies and gentlemen, as a result of the fall committed by the first human ancestors at the beginning, human history deteriorated into a history of sin and struggle. Human beings, as a matter of course, should have attended God as our True Parents, but instead we became the prisoners of hell, dominated by the false parent, the devil Satan. The bodies of Adam and Eve were to have become temples of God and God was to have resided within them, and they were to have become people possessing divine value. Instead, their bodies became the hotbeds of all manner of sin and falsehood, and the devil used them as his dance stage.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">In practical terms, the fall meant that the marriage that should have been performed with God’s blessing was instead performed centering on Satan. According to the Principle of Creation, true love, true life, and true lineage are inherited from parents. This means that human beings born with Satan as our parent, through no choice of our own, inherit false love, false life, and false lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">We became a pitiful humanity, exhausted by the struggle between our mind and body, with each one forced to leave this world having been unable to resolve this problem even at the moment of our death. We ignore the voice of our conscience, which represents the voice of God within us, and we conduct our lives controlled by the desires of our body, which has become the slave of Satan. This is a picture of the human condition.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Most people are not even aware that they have fallen to the point of living in such a wretched and oppressed state. They look around and see that others are in the same situation. They think appearing to be able to see, but being in fact blind, is quite natural. They become such foolish and pitiful people. How much longer will you live oblivious to this tragedy?</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">In principle, the person who causes a problem is responsible to solve it. Because we fell by false love, we must eradicate false love even to its last vestiges. On that foundation, we must receive the true holy marriage blessing centering on God’s true love, and set out to build true families. We must put down true roots that will enable us to multiply true descendants, generation after generation.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">This is not something, however, that one can achieve just by wishing it would come true. Isn’t it true that, during the tens of thousands of years since the beginning of human history, no one has been able to achieve this state and save humanity from evil and sin? The many religions that have risen and fallen over the course of history have done their best to achieve this purpose, but even they have been unable to overcome the obstacle of fallen nature and have either failed or been forced to take detours.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">But God is a Parent of true love. He gave Jesus the status of His only begotten son and made Himself incarnate on this earth. Jesus came with the mission of the Savior and Messiah and dedicated his life of 33 years to bringing about this will of Heaven. Yet in the end, even he passed away midway through the course as a sacrifice on the cross.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">I am not referring to any failure on the part of Jesus himself. Jesus, who was qualified as the perfect human being, or second Adam, searched for his bride. However, Judaism and Israel, which Heaven had prepared for thousands of years, were unable to understand Heaven’s will and their ignorance forced Jesus to go the way of the cross. Jesus was the incarnation of Heaven’s seed of true love, sinless and pure, but in the end he had to return to Heaven without being able to plant that seed on this earth. Jesus came to find a bride on earth, hold the Marriage of the Lamb in the presence of both Heaven and earth, establish a family of true love and multiply Heaven’s sinless and true lineage. Yet this mission was blocked, midway through the course.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0"><b><i>The Incarnation of True Parents and the Value of the Blessing</i></b></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">God’s love is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal, and so too the attributes of His will are absolute, unique, eternal and unchanging. Therefore, God’s ideal of creation must absolutely be completed on this earth. The providence by which Heaven has sought the children of God who were lost in the fall of Adam and Eve must be fulfilled.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Please understand that, even though Jesus passed into the spirit world because of disbelief in Israel, today Heaven has sent True Parents, who are the saviors of humanity, the Messiah and the returning Lord, to this earth, and is bringing the history of the Providence of Salvation to a close. God is carrying out His absolute and eternal providence in accordance with a program for the providence of salvation that cannot be delayed or extended any further.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Ladies and gentlemen, you are standing today in a very active scene of the providence. Let those with ears to hear, hear. Let those with eyes to see, see with certainty. Let those with mouths to speak give witness to all nations. The Rev. Sun Myung Moon who stands before you now is the Savior, Messiah, Returning Messiah, Peace King, and True Parent. He has manifested on earth with Heaven’s anointing as the one for whom humanity has waited with eager yearning for such a long time.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">This is not my own claim. Founders of the major religions and tens of thousands of other saints and sages in the spirit world have sent messages testifying to this fact. God himself has sent a message asking that all 6 billion people work to establish the Peace Kingdom on earth, centering on the True Parents. These messages have already been widely published. If you cannot believe these facts, please put your life on the line in prayer. Surely, Heaven will give you the answers that you seek in prayer.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Ladies and gentlemen, what then is the path that humanity, which became wild olive trees as descendants of the fall, must take? It is to receive the Holy Marriage Blessing from God through the True Parents. A wild olive tree will always be a wild olive tree, even after a thousand years. It must be grafted on to a cultivated, or true, olive tree and secure for itself the true blood lineage. The Holy Marriage Blessing that is received through the True Parents is the blessing and grace of being grafted on to the true olive tree.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">It is sometimes said in the world that the Holy Marriage Blessing led by Rev. Moon is nothing more than a marriage performed in the style of the Unification Church. This ceremony, however, is much more than just a wedding to mark the coming together of a man and a woman for the purpose of beginning to build a family. Weddings held until now were centered on the two individuals involved, but the Holy Marriage Blessing contains content that returns joy to God. It is a precious condition for indemnifying history. It is a holy and grand ceremony of blessing and grace. Please understand that, in this ceremony, we resolve the grief of God from the fall of Adam and Eve and pass through the standard of bride and groom that Jesus was not able to accomplish.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">So the term “Holy Marriage Blessing” did not just begin with me or with the Unification Church. Instead, it existed within the innermost heart of God since the time of Creation. After the human fall, however, it became one of His cherished desires. Please understand that God has always pursued this as a goal and longed to see it happen.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Is there anyone who knows the circumstances of God, who had to walk a path of unspeakable suffering in order to bring about this historic day? This is a historic day of resolution of grief and a providential day when God’s cherished desire is fulfilled. Seen on this level, the Holy Marriage Blessing is an incredible blessing, but it can also be an incredibly fearful blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">The position of the Holy Marriage Blessing is where all the sorrow in history, from the farthest past into the present, can be brought to closure. A new beginning can be made toward fulfilling the cherished desires of God. It is a starting point, an opportunity to create a new future for humanity. It is the most certain way to extricate oneself from the dominion Satan exercised in <i>the Era Before Heaven.</i></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Only through the Holy Marriage Blessing can you inherit the bond of True Parents’ love. It is the process and end result of the transfer of Heaven’s full authority. When a family that has received the Blessing goes to the spirit world, True Parents will be responsible for them. This means that such a family will live under the dominion of True Parents. Once a heavenly bond is made with the True Parents through the Holy Marriage Blessing, this becomes an eternal and unchanging bond. The Holy Marriage Blessing becomes the key to opening the gates of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0"><b><i>The Fulfillment of the Blessing in the Era After the Coming of Heaven</i></b></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Then, ladies and gentlemen, what kind of time and age is it when the Blessing becomes reality? The<i> Era Before the Coming of Heaven,</i> when the world was under Satan’s dominion has ended, and we have entered the <i>Era After the Coming of Heaven</i>, when the Peace Kingdom will be established. This is the best of times, when the grief of God, who has worked for six thousand years to see this day, is resolved and the cherished desires of humankind for peace are realized.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">It is the time when we see the fulfillment of the cherished desires of Jesus, who came to this earth but left before he could completely fulfill God’s will. In addition, it is the time when the blossoms of true love bloom and bear fruit for the first time since the creation of human beings, and when we can be welcomed by all nature and receive its respect and glory.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">How strongly has God yearned to see this day? We come to a new era in which evil disappears. At this time, a new Heaven and new Earth are established under the bright light of the sun, and all creation communes together and the entire universe dances in a new morning of victory.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">I have said that the heavenly ideal cannot be fulfilled without establishing the family through the Holy Marriage Blessing. The heavenly ideal is completed when the will of God is fulfilled and the heavenly way is established in the family, centering on true love.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">What kind of love is true love? True love exists for the public benefit; it is a love that seeks first to give and live for the sake of the whole. It is a love that gives but then does not even remember that it gave, and it gives without end. It is a love that gives joy. It is the heart of love of a mother embracing her child and feeding it at her breasts. It is the love of a child who practices filial piety toward the parents and feels joyful. Just as it was with God when He created human beings, true love is the creation of a love that is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal without condition or expectation of receiving anything in return.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">True love creates for us the wellspring of the universe, the center of the universe, and the owner of the universe. True love also symbolizes God’s root, His determination, and His power. So when we are bound together in true love, we can be together forever and still enjoy each other’s company. The universe and even God will follow when we pull them with true love.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">The value of true love is reckoned by its power to bring an eternal end to the walls that human beings descended from the fall have created, including national boundaries, race, and even religion. An absolute prerequisite for entering the Kingdom of Heaven is a life lived for the sake of others, that is, a life of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">What is the heavenly way? In short, it is the tradition of Heaven. It is a tradition of practicing true love rooted in Heaven. A life of the heavenly way is an exalted life that transcends the human laws of the world. Violent social or political revolutions are unnecessary in true love, and the same is true in the heavenly way. You only need to follow the path of true love, the heavenly way, and practice a life of sacrifice and service that is for the sake of others. This is the path that will bring about an explosion of God’s love. It is the path to develop and expand God’s lineage, and the path to preserve God’s blood lineage forever.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">You now need to run forward in this <i>Age After the Coming of Heaven</i> with a determination that says: “As long as God does not change, I will not change. No matter the circumstances, I will continue on this path. Even if the life, love, and ideals that I have preserved until now in the satanic world are all taken from me, I will continue on this path. Even if God should change, I will bring God back and continue on this path with Him. If God is not absolute, I will make Him absolute, if necessary, and continue on this path.”</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Ladies and gentlemen, why do we marry? I have said that we marry in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and to save humankind. We must understand that when two people become husband and wife through the Holy Marriage Blessing, the wife who stands before the husband is a daughter of God and a daughter of humanity. If the man can love his wife as much as humanity loves her and as much as God loves her, then he is qualified to be her husband. The same is true for the woman. Just because he is your husband, don’t say: “Look, that’s my man.” Before you claim him as your man, think of him as God’s son and as a man who represents all the men in the world.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Between a husband and wife, the husband is the right foot, and the wife the left. They should leave footprints of a life lived for the sake of God and humankind. These footprints are, in fact, your families. But if either the right or left foot is not whole, the person will limp. Will you be people who leave footprints betraying a limp? When you become a couple in which the wife upholds the husband as she would Heaven and the husband holds the wife in esteem and protects her as he would the earth, then the place where they embrace will be where the virtues of heaven and earth are harmonized and the universe will be harmonized as one.</p>
|

<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0"><b><i>Our Mission</i></b></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Respected leaders, we are now entering a glorious age. The Kingdom of Heaven on earth that is God’s ideal of creation, the Peace Kingdom, is being established before your eyes. The life that I have lived for more than 80 years, a lonely path speckled with drops of blood and sweat lived only for the path of Heaven, is now witnessing the fruits of victory for the sake of the six billion people in the world.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">In more than 180 countries, Ambassadors for Peace who have inherited Heaven’s will and tradition are working hard, day and night, proclaiming the values of true love and true families. They are moving forward with full force to establish a world of peace on this earth.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">In the Middle East, one of the world’s tinderboxes, Jews, Christians and Muslims have found the resources in my philosophy of peace to engage in a new dimension of peaceful dialogue. The Unification Thought of Rev. Moon also played a decisive role in ending the Cold War. Efforts behind the scenes to bring about the unification of my homeland of Korea are being carried out under my leadership.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">But that alone is not enough to satisfy me. I began my life’s work at the command of Heaven. I have come as the True Parent of humankind with God’s anointing, and I am determined to keep my promise to Him to build His Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take the opportunity of this precious forum today to declare a truly historic and revolutionary project for the sake of peace and the welfare of humankind. This is a project to build a bridge over or a tunnel under the Bering Strait, where Satan has historically divided east and west, and north and south, and where the North American and Russian land masses are separated.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">This “<u>World Peace King Bridge-Tunnel</u>” will be connected to a future “<u>International Highway System</u>” so that people can travel by car from Africa’s Cape of Good Hope to Chile’s Santiago and from London to New York, making the world a single community.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Heaven warns us that separation and division will no longer be tolerated. This project will bind the world together as a single community, tear down the walls of race, culture, religion, and nationality created by human beings, and establish the world of peace that has been God’s cherished desire.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">The United States and Russia must become as one, along with European nations, China, India, Japan, Brazil, and all other nations, and indeed all of the world’s religions. Together they must combine their energies to succeed in this historic project. The success of this project will play a decisive role in establishing a Peace Kingdom where there is no need for war or division.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Ladies and gentlemen, some may question how such a huge project can be completed. But where there is the will of God, there is a way. The science and technology of the 21<sup>st</sup>century has advanced to a level where boring a tunnel under the Bering Strait is not a problem. The construction costs are also not a problem. For example, do you know how much money the United States poured into the war in Iraq during the past three years? The figure is going to reach 200 billion dollars soon. That is more than enough to complete the Bering Strait project.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0"><b><i>The Choice Before Us</i></b></p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Why do not only the United States, but so many in the world continue the foolishness and barbarism of war, pouring endless money into the project of killing one another? Humankind should stop repeating the perversity of sacrificing our children’s lives, squandering astronomical amounts of money for the sake of war. The time has come for all the countries of the world to pool their resources and dash forward toward establishing the world of peace that is the desire of God, who is the master of the great universe.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Humanity has entered a dead-end street, and the only way for it to survive is to uphold the peace philosophy of true love, true life, and true lineage that is taught by Rev. Moon. When your good ancestors are mobilized and the heavenly forces of the <i>Age After the Coming of Heaven</i> sweep down upon the earth, even countries and peoples that appear strong will have no choice but to surrender.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">The choice is now before you. There can be no perfection in ignorance. This message that I convey to you is both a warning and a blessing from Heaven. Will you join in step with me as I rise and gain victory in accordance with heavenly fortune? Will you become principal actors in establishing true families, true societies, true nations, and a true world? Or will you remain captive behind the same old walls that Satan likes – the wall of your religion, the wall of your culture, the wall of your nationality, and the wall of your race – and spend the remainder of your lives in agony and regret? Heaven is summoning brave leaders who will turn this world of evil upside down and establish a new heaven and new earth.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Today I have delivered Heaven’s message. Please inscribe it deep in your hearts and remember that the Holy Marriage Blessing received through the True Parents has the unifying value of bringing together the virtues of heaven and earth. Please use this information to set new coordinates for your lives so that you may become wise leaders.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">
|
||||
<p class="s0">Let me end my remarks by asking you to pledge that you will become brave leaders who will maintain the heavenly way that has become the tradition of the<i> Era After the Coming of Heaven</i> and who will lead the world and humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p class="s0">

<h3 style="text-align: center;">20th Anniversary of the <i>Washington Times</i> Banquet<br />
|
||||
Washington Hilton, Washington, DC<br />
|
||||
May 21, 2002</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected Guests from America and Abroad:</p>
|
||||
<p>Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of <i>The Washington Times</i> has a particularly gratifying meaning for me. The memory is still fresh in my mind how, in May 1982, I made the final decision to publish <i>The Washington Times</i> in response to Heaven’s direction. This took place while I was being unjustly tried in a New York federal court, in a prosecution motivated by both racial and religious bigotry.</p>
|
||||
<p>At that time, Communism was sweeping the world like a giant, angry wave. Even America had no effective means to deal with it. I followed the supreme Will of Heaven, which told me that America, the final fortress of the democratic world and a Christian country representing the Second Israel, must be protected from Communism. It is also the Will of Heaven to build the ideal world of peace that God is seeking, that is, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven, through Christianity. It was certainly not my intention to set up a newspaper company just to make money. Over the years, more than a billion dollars have been invested in <i>The Washington Times</i> alone, but I have never regretted this nor felt enmity toward anyone. That is because this was a way to practice true love toward Heaven and humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>Already, more than thirty years have passed since I came to America. I have reached the age of 82, and I feel that the time is coming for me to return to my homeland. Before leaving, I would like to convey clearly to America, the nation in the realm of the Second Israel, and to all humankind a message concerning the actual situation of God and the spirit world. This is not just a message given from me as an individual. Heaven is giving its message and humankind must observe it in this age. Until now, humankind has been living in a state of ignorance about the Will of Heaven. First, humanity has not known about God and second, we have not known about the spirit world, where we all eventually must go, whether we like it or not.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now, we have entered the last days of human history. In the spirit world, numerous religious leaders, beginning with the founders of the four great religions, have accepted the Unification Principle, which is my teaching, as the truth of the highest dimension. They have completely mobilized and are returning to the Earth to resurrect by bringing their disciples and descendants to form new, true families through the blessing of marriage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Particularly for the sake of America, a Christian country representing the Second Israel, the four founders centering on Jesus have each chosen 120 of their historically famous disciples in order to establish a unified front. Now, through their return to Earth, they are furthering the work of the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace and the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations in order to bring complete peace on Earth. They are proclaiming that humankind has no future unless we practice true love, or “a life lived for the sake of others,” which is the True Parents’ philosophy. Therefore, I would like to take the opportunity I have to give a commemorative address today and deliver a most valuable message to America and humanity on the topic,<i>“The Life of Jesus as Seen from God’s Will, and God’s Warning to the Present Age, the Period of the Last Days.”</i></p>
|
||||
<h3>Jesus’ Love on the Cross, and Its Legacy</h3>
|
||||
<p>If we examine Jesus’ Providence of the cross, we see that Jesus, the thief on the right, the thief on the left, and Barabbas sowed the seeds of history. The principle is that what is sown will be reaped. So the first to appear were the right wing world and the left wing world, that is, the democratic and the Communist realms, reflecting the “right thief type” and the “left thief type.” Centering on Jesus’ cross, Islam, the “Barabbas type,” appeared next. Reflecting Barabbas, who received good fortune because of Jesus, Islam originated as a force resisting Christianity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having been thus sown, history entered the age in which the form of the world was bound together in four major blocs. Gamal Abdel Nasser of the Arab bloc dreamed of uniting the Islamic realm into a unified Arab state. Christianity, meanwhile, is leading a new worldwide trend proclaiming, “Let’s unite all religions.” As we observe these currents, we see that history, which was sown in tragedy, is now appearing as the fruit of good centered on God for the first time. In the Last Days, such phenomena will become even more pronounced, as that which was sown in the beginning reaches fruition in its exact original form and is harvested. It was inevitable that this would come about because of the laws of the Providence. That is, unification is accomplished in accordance with True Parents’ philosophy of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>If the democratic world is internal, then the Communist world is external. If the right wing is internal, then the left wing is external. For this reason, the Messiah who is to come has no choice but to appear upon the internal foundation of the democratic world, which respects God. He must carry out a movement that absorbs the external environment and unifies the various cultural spheres centering on the mainstream Christian cultural sphere. Such a movement is carried out at the end of history. Such a thing cannot be looked at as circumstantial. The nature of the original cause leads to such a result.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Merit of the Thief on the Right</h3>
|
||||
<p>When Jesus was crucified, he died along with the man on his right, who was not only a thief but also a murderer. If that thief had not been there, Jesus would have lost his relationship with the Earth and humankind. Even though he himself was near death, the thief on the right defended Jesus. In human history, who took Jesus’ side? It was not Peter; it was not Jesus’ father or mother; it was not the nation of Israel and it was not Judaism. It was only one person: the thief on the right. One individual alone maintained this relationship. While facing death, he transcended death and placed all his hopes on Jesus. That was none other than the thief on the right. You need to know that were it not for the thief on the right, Jesus would not have been able to resurrect and resume his providence on Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>As Jesus was bringing to a conclusion four thousand years of history and the more than thirty years of his own life, there was only one person who connected with Jesus and attended Jesus as the one who embodied his most fervent hopes, even as he accompanied Jesus on the path of death. That was the thief on the right. The fact that the thief on the right has this position means that he surpassed the disciples. He was superior to Peter.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is so because although he did not know Jesus’ teachings, his nature directed and empowered him to attend Jesus at the moment of death, until he breathed his last. Peter, John and the others of the twelve disciples, by contrast, knew Jesus’ teachings and even pledged to become new persons, but ultimately were not able to achieve it. You have to know that, for this reason, the thief on the right became a central character in human history, a man who represented the Earth and salvaged the future.</p>
|
||||
<p>We need the right to inherit this history. We must inherit the tradition and foundation of Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, and beyond, and represent the historical sacrificial offering. Only then can we confront Satan, shouting, “In the course of history, you lost to Noah; you lost to Jacob; and were you subjugated by Moses! I stand on the foundation of all their victories and have inherited the entire tradition of providential history. So be gone, Satan!” Only then will Satan retreat.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you simply pray, “Be gone, Satan,” it will avail you nothing. Do you think that Satan, who has been accusing people for six thousand years and has trampled upon God’s providence and devastated the providence of restoration, is going to retreat just because you say he should do so and you believe in Jesus? Certainly not. You need the ability to say, “I am without a doubt a person for whom God has sought through His historical heart. I am a person who has been grafted onto the sacred and holy body of Jesus.” Your name must be recorded on the book of inheritance that Jesus received from God. God’s book of inheritance records those who inherited God’s heart experienced through the four thousand years until He could send Jesus to this Earth. Then, instead of defeating Satan on the cross, you must be able to subjugate Satan and be victorious over him without being hung on the cross. You must take on a body of flesh and be resurrected in substantial form. Only those who are thus recognized as substantial inheritors can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Jesus’ Death Gave Christianity Only a Spiritual Foundation</h3>
|
||||
<p>Until now, Christianity has not been able to pursue the Kingdom of Heaven both on Earth and in the spirit. Christianity has had no choice but to yield the physical world, attending Jesus as the spiritual Messiah and setting spiritual salvation and a spiritual Kingdom as its goals. The people of Israel had a nation and possessed national authority as the chosen people, but worldwide Christianity today is in the position of the second Israel only as a spiritual nation; it has no national authority. Christians have no country. We stand in the realm of the second Israel with only a spiritual foundation, not a physical foundation. Because Christianity was not able to accomplish the original Will of God, who must bring about a Kingdom on Earth that is of both spirit and flesh, there is no other way except for the Lord to come again.</p>
|
||||
<p>I want to make one declaration to you here today. The crucifixion was not God’s victory. Instead, it was Satan’s victory. You will remember that Jesus said to those who arrested him in the Garden of Gethsemane, “… this is your hour – when darkness reigns.” (<a href="http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?search=Luke+22:53">Luke 22:53</a> NIV) You need to know that the cross was the place where the nation that God had prepared for four thousand years was lost, the place where the religious faith of Israel was lost, and the place where the followers of John the Baptist, the twelve disciples, the thief on the left, and everything else was lost.</p>
|
||||
<p>You need to know that Christianity was not there on the cross. When did Christianity begin? Jesus resurrected after three days and spent forty days meeting the disciples he had lost, who had turned against him. The Holy Spirit descended on the disciples, and you need to know that it was only then that Christianity began. Christians for the past two thousand years have believed in Christianity without knowing that it came into existence not by the principle of the cross, but by the principle of the resurrection. If you realize this fact, then you must repent. Because Christianity began on the foundation of Jesus’ resurrection, Christianity has been strictly spiritual.</p>
|
||||
<p>What would have happened if Jesus had not died on the cross? In that case, the nation of Israel would have followed Jesus’ teachings, stabilized and endured. Judaism also would have remained as it was. Jesus knew that if he were to die on the cross, multitudes of people in future ages would have to follow him on the way of the cross, and that they would not be able to do so without shedding blood. Many Christians would have to suffer, and even when the Lord came again he would have to go the way of suffering. You need to know that this is the reason that Jesus had to pray as he did in the Garden of Gethsemane. Christians today say that Jesus prayed for deliverance because he had a physical body and feared the pain of death. But was Jesus such a trivial Messiah? Certainly not.</p>
|
||||
<p>What, then, did Jesus mean by saying, “It is finished,” when he committed his spirit on the cross? Jesus had come with the mission to save both spirit and flesh, but he realized that he could not completely fulfill God’s Will in a world in which there was no foundation. So, he offered himself completely in order to establish a condition for spiritual salvation and allow that providence to begin. Having completed that, in the end he said, “It is finished.”</p>
|
||||
<p>You probably have never featured this even in your imagination. Christianity and Judaism should realize even now that the Lord, who tried to demolish Satan’s nation and do away with Satan’s kingship, and to accomplish God’s will and restore humanity, died a tragic death. When they realize this, they should repent and become one. They should become one and prepare to receive the Lord on his return.</p>
|
||||
<p>Truth must conform to reason. The time has come for all Christians to throw off the age of blind faith and move ahead into a new age united as one, to sort out this world and bring it to salvation. You need to know that the time has come in which the term “unification” is essential.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Jesus’ Three-Day Suffering Course</h3>
|
||||
<p>What does it mean that Jesus suffered pain during the three days following his death? Heaven, Earth and Hell all remained in the realm of death. For Jesus to gain authority over Heaven and Earth, he needed to encompass the depths and heights of this realm of death. For this reason, in order to pursue the connection of life and go the path that could comfort God, Jesus needed to prevail, even if it meant descending into the lowest environment such as Hell and suffering pain. Because Jesus passed through Hell, he prepared a path by which it was possible to make a new beginning toward Heaven. Though he was cast out and isolated on Earth, and finally forced to go the way of death, he was able to leave a path of hope for future generations. That is the reason Jesus had to go on his three-day course.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus did not go to Hell for three days just to look around. He already knew about Hell. He needed to go there, pass judgment and pave the way to go from the world of death to the world of life. In this way, he laid a foundation of victory on Earth, which is the world of death and Hell, and established a starting point from which it is possible to reach Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Even on the Cross, Jesus Was Concerned for Heaven<br />
|
||||
and Loved His Enemies</h3>
|
||||
<p>In the eyes of the religious establishment, Jesus was a heretic, and in the eyes of the nation, he was a destroyer of the religious law. His own clan rejected him and chased him out of his home. The group surrounding John the Baptist rejected him. So he went into the wilderness, but there Satan pursued him. That was not all. Eventually, the entire country mobilized to force him to go the way of death on the cross, the path of Golgotha.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus, though, shed tears for the nation that was rejecting him as a traitor. The Jewish establishment treated Jesus as a heretic, but he shed more blood and tears for them than did any priest. Not a single person of that age would stand on his side, but Jesus was a friend of that age. He was rejected as a traitor, but he was the greatest patriot. He was rejected as a heretic, but he was the most faithful believer.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus walked a wretched path, the path of the cross, where people ripped his clothing, drove him on, and forced him to the ground. That was not all. Evil men whipped and beat him. In this situation, if Jesus had been like Elijah, he might have said to the people, “I am the only one of the Lord’s prophets left.” (<a href="http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?search=1+Kings+18:22">1 Kings 18:22</a>) But when Jesus left his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane and went to pray, he said, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” (<a href="http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?search=Luke+22:42">Luke 22:42</a>) This was his greatness. He understood that his body was a sacrificial offering for the nation, a sacrificial offering for humanity and a sacrificial offering for Heaven’s Providence.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because he understood this, Jesus, while not denying his own sorrow, was more concerned about how great a sorrow God must have felt. Jesus had appeared for the sake of the nation and he was concerned how great God’s sorrow was to see him rejected as a traitor. Jesus was the prince of Heaven, the central personage of the entire universe, and the Messiah. If he chose, he could have fallen prey to self-pity and asked why he should go the miserable way of the cross. He could have set the entire universe in motion to breathe a deep sigh of despair with him. But he understood that his position was not to sigh in despair. Instead, he even went so far as to feel apologetic toward Heaven for having been rejected.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus bore the responsibility to rally the religious establishment, rally the nation, build the Kingdom of Heaven and return the world to the Father’s bosom. Yet when he was forced to abandon that mission and walk the way of the cross, he did not feel enmity toward anyone. He did not pray, “Let this cup pass from me,” out of a fear of death. Rather, he prayed this because he knew that his death would add to the grief of the nation and to God’s grief.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus knew that if he died on the cross, there would be an even heavier cross remaining for the future generations of humanity. It would mean that the sorrowful history would not end. He knew that the path of Golgotha would not end with him. He knew that the path of death would not end. And he knew that if he went the way of Golgotha, those who followed him would also have to go the same way. Jesus knew that an even more difficult course lay beyond the cross.</p>
|
||||
<p>As he was made to wear a crown of thorns, and the nails were hammered into his hands and feet, and his side was stabbed with a spear, Jesus knew that these events would have impact far beyond his own death. When he turned to Heaven and said, “It is finished,” he did not mean that the path of the cross for the world was finished. He meant that Heaven had received his heart’s tearful plea of concern over the cross. We need to know that Jesus comforted Heaven by taking upon himself all the mistakes committed by the prophets and patriots and offering himself as a living sacrifice.</p>
|
||||
<p>And even beyond that, as he neared death Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (<a href="http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?search=Luke+23:34">Luke 23:34</a>) God had a mind to pass judgment immediately, judgment that was even greater than that of Noah’s time. But Jesus died clinging to the nation, clinging to the religious establishment and clinging to the cross. For this reason, God could not abandon humanity but held on to us. Because this bond of heart existed between Jesus, the future generations of humanity and the remaining people of Israel, God has been unable to abandon the religious organizations and people of succeeding generations who have turned against Him. Instead, He has clung to them.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Meaning of the Bread and Wine that Jesus Shared with Us</h3>
|
||||
<p>I am sure you are well aware that God, who had been carrying out His Providence of restoration for four thousand years, could not complete His Will in Heaven and on Earth simply by the Providence of having Jesus resurrect. So He established a new testament in His word, and through it He has worked His providence to bring together His will in Heaven with that on Earth and establish the promised original Garden.</p>
|
||||
<p>If we look in the Bible, we see that Jesus said the wine and bread that he gave us were the promise and new covenant. After Jesus was on Earth, we received his flesh and blood, and these represented the life of the perfected whole that must be accomplished. At the same time, they represented the providence in its entirety.</p>
|
||||
<p>What does the fact that we received Jesus’ blood and flesh symbolize? This is not just the flesh and blood of Jesus as one individual. In a larger sense, these signify Heaven and Earth and, in a smaller sense, they signify the core and the individual body. Also, the flesh symbolizes the truth and blood of the Holy Spirit. Jesus gave us all this without condition.</p>
|
||||
<p>What has been blocked between God and human beings? Heaven’s Will should be manifested on Earth and everything on Earth ultimately should be connected to Heaven’s Will. In this way, Heaven and Earth will move toward a single goal. This is what is blocked. Jesus established a new promise before he departed, so after his death the necessity of human beings, that is, the disciples who followed Jesus, connecting the spiritual and physical worlds remained as a condition. Had Jesus not died, Heaven and Earth would have been connected through him. Because he died, Jesus came to represent the conditions in Heaven and the Holy Spirit came to represent the conditions on Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, the time now has come. Heaven’s time, for which God has been waiting six thousand years and Christians have been waiting two thousand years, has come. It is the time to build the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven on an inter-religious, international and inter-organizational footing. Heaven’s fortune has finally arrived. Jesus, Peter, John and the other disciples, plus thousands and even tens of thousands of religious leaders in the spirit world are now of one mind and one body and they are descending freely to the physical world to attend True Parents. Without a doubt, the Unified Cosmic Nation of Heaven’s Will and the Kingdom of Heaven in which Heaven and Earth can be as one in eternal peace will settle on the Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now is the time for America, the Christian country representing the Second Israel, to stand in the forefront. I declare to the world that America has the responsibility to guide all the world’s people. But it must not do so with weapons; it must do this in truth and love by living for the sake of others upon the foundation of true love, true life, and true lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Finally, I hope that <i>The Washington Times</i>, <i>UPI</i>, and other major media will accept this lofty command from Heaven and take up the task of educating humankind, taking a stance beyond religion and ideology. Please note that I have distributed to you a pamphlet containing messages from leaders in the spirit world. I ask that you read this carefully.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you for your kind attention. May God bless you and God bless America.</p>

|

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Shilla Hotel, Seoul, Korea,<br />
|
||||
January 27, 2004</h3>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished leaders from around the world, respected dignitaries from Korea and other countries, ladies and gentlemen:</p>
|
||||
<p>This banquet was prepared to celebrate my 84th birthday and the birthday of my wife, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. Instead of receiving congratulations on our birthdays, though, the two of us would prefer to offer this banquet to the saints and sages in the spirit world who are present here now, to the blessed families of the spirit world, and to the participants of the World Summit on Leadership and Governance. I understand that you have been engaged in many discussions and meetings during the past few days on the theme, “Good Governance for a World in Crisis.” I know that your hard work and passion will combine to create the opportunity for new hopes and dreams to be planted in a world that, until now, seems to slide deeper into crisis with each passing day. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to each of you again for coming to my homeland, Korea, to join me in opening the fourth year of Chun Il Guk (the Kingdom of Peace and Unification). This is a new year of great hope and this evening, in keeping with a tradition I have maintained throughout my life of more than 80 years of only speaking the will of Heaven, I would like to convey to you Heaven’s message entitled, “The Messiah and True Parents.”</p>
|
||||
<p>In the beginning, human beings were created as God’s children. They were destined to grow to maturity, form families with His blessing, and multiply His descendants for endless generations in a lineage of goodness unstained by sin. The first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, were to have attended God as their vertical True Parent, and with God the True Parent as their axis, they were to have become the embodied, horizontal True Parents. In such a world, the word “messiah” would never have come to exist. Their family would have been the ideal family reflecting God’s ideal of creation, and the world would have been the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, where God’s ideal of creation was completed. After living out their lives in this world, human beings would have automatically been registered as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven in the spiritual world, where they would live eternally in freedom, peace, and happiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>Perfected Adam and Eve would have communicated directly with God using their five spiritual senses, and at the same time, they would have freely worked with the creation using their five physical senses. They would have lived as true masters, true parents, and true kings representing both the spiritual and physical worlds.</p>
|
||||
<p>But, with the fall of the first human ancestors, all humanity descended into a hopeless hell from which they could not escape by their efforts alone. Their five spiritual senses became completely paralyzed. They fell into a state similar to that of a blind man whose eyes only appear to be normal to an observer but do not function at all. Forced to live with just their five physical senses, they became only half human. They could not see God. They could not hear His voice, or feel His touch. So how could they experience His love as their own Parent or understand His suffering heart?</p>
|
||||
<p>Satan forced his way into the true-parent position that rightfully belonged to God, falsely pretending to be the parent. He placed humanity in complete bondage, making them his slaves. For this reason, the love, life, and lineage that we possess today is false. It is precisely that false love, false life, and false lineage first planted in Adam and Eve that persists in us today.</p>
|
||||
<p>What great pain God must have felt as He watched humanity, though born to be His direct lineal children, receive Satan’s false lineage and descend to the position of servant of servants. Because God is a God of principle and law, He would not break the principles by which He created nor violate the ideal of creation that He established. So He has had to wait tens of thousands of years before introducing the Messiah to the course of the providence of salvation. Different religions refer to this person by different names such as Maitreya, the Man of the True Way, or the Coming Savior, but the person needed by humankind to open the way, and the person sought by God, is only one person, the Messiah and True Parent.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then who is the Messiah, and what is he like? He is the owner and substantiation of faith, hope, and love not only for the individual but also for the family, tribe, society, nation, world, and cosmos. And only in an age when humanity attends this person as the Messiah, will the faith and hope that still remains, finally bear fruit. The life and breath of human history is contained within this fruit. Our past, present, and future are linked to it. This fruit is linked not only to human beings but to Heaven as well. The Messiah comes for the sake of human beings, who became forlorn orphans after losing their parents through the Fall. He becomes our substantial True Parent, True Owner, True Teacher, and True King. He is the substantiation of God’s true love, true life, and true lineage, coming to restore His lost children, who have been groaning in travail under a false parent, to bring them back to their rightful positions as the true sons and daughters of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, Heaven sent Jesus to the earth 2,000 years ago as the Messiah. Jesus was none other than the one who came to embrace the children who had lost their parents and to restore them back to the original ideal of Heaven. He was the True Parent. Through the Fall, Adam and Eve lost their positions as True Parents. They failed to receive God’s blessing and so could not form a union as a true husband and wife, and could not produce true children. Their failure meant God could not embrace three generations of His lineage, including His grandchildren. So God tearfully made preparations over a period of thousands of years, establishing the nation of Israel as His chosen people. And then he sent Jesus, the Savior and Messiah, through the lineage of Abraham. Jesus came as the commander-in-chief for the struggle to establish the sovereignty, territory, and people of a single nation of God for the first time in history. On that foundation, he would then restore the whole world from Satan’s false blood lineage to the true blood lineage of God’s goodness.</p>
|
||||
<p>Tragically though, Jesus was unjustly put to death on the cross, because he was not received by the people of Israel, whom God had chosen. The Messiah, Jesus, who should have restored the position of True Parents, then produced true children, and risen to the position of King of Kings, was prevented from establishing even the position of a true husband with God’s Marriage Blessing. Because of this, he could not establish the position of True Parents or multiply true children. Instead he died on the cross.</p>
|
||||
<p>The “Marriage of the Lamb” that the Book of Revelation in the New Testament speaks of is none other than the ceremony by which the Messiah receives a bride and forms a union of true husband and wife. If Judaism had received and attended Jesus at that time, then the world of God’s earnest desire, the world of His original ideal of creation, the peaceful Kingdom of Heaven, would have been realized on the earth at that time through Jesus’ kinsmen. As it was, the True Parent providence intended to be fulfilled by Jesus, the second Adam, was thwarted midway by the faithlessness of those who had been chosen. As a result, humankind was forced to wait for the Second Coming of the Messiah. Heaven though, had mercy yet again on pitiful humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>Heaven gave its blessing for the Messiah of the Second Coming to appear on the foundation of the spiritual restoration Jesus carried out throughout the 2,000 years of Christian history. The returning Messiah comes with the incredible burden of completing the mission of True Parents. To accomplish his mission, he must first, above everything else, achieve victory over the satanic realm. He must then go on to achieve victory in the spiritual realm as well. He must fully engage the satanic and spiritual realms, both of which cannot be sensed through the five physical senses, and be victorious in the life-and-death battle to subjugate the devil, Satan. Additionally, he must win over the many religious and philosophical leaders who are in the spirit world. None of this, however, can be accomplished through forced subjugation. Centering on God’s character of absolute love, he must convince them by revealing the universal principles of religion and the universe and in this way bring them to a natural surrender. Reverend Moon, who stands here before you, is the one who has appeared in this world bearing this incredible mission of the True Parent.</p>
|
||||
<p>The phrase, “True Parent,” does not appear in any encyclopedia. It is not a phrase that I created, nor is it something that anyone in the world can attach to my name easily. Instead, it is the destiny and blessing that Heaven has bestowed on my wife and me. The position of True Parent carries with it the vertical missions of Savior, Messiah, and returning Lord, responsibilities that have never been realized before in history or will ever be seen again in the future. For this reason, human beings still affiliated with the fallen realm must fulfill a number of conditions in order to attend the True Parents and accomplish Heaven’s will.</p>
|
||||
<p>First, they must participate in and complete a revolution of indemnity. This means they must cast everything aside and follow the True Parents. They must cast aside their friends and teachers, even their parents, and follow the True Parents. It is only when everything is cast aside and a standard of “total living offering” is made that Heaven can bestow blessings and grace upon us. This means that humanity must mercilessly eradicate all bonds and relationships with the satanic world, not showing even the slightest attachment, and in this way, return to the zero point and mark the dawning of a new creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Second, they must complete a revolution of conscience. This means that they must maintain a tradition of true love, true life, and true lineage in accordance with the predisposition of the original mind and conscience endowed in us by God. They must do this without even the smallest variance, regardless of whatever worldly sovereignty or ideology they may encounter. They must live a life of “noon-time settlement,” where they do not leave any shadow or even a speck of shame in the presence of the spiritual and physical worlds. The revolution of conscience is completed when our lives reach a harmonious state of one mind, one body, one thought, and so establish the realm of pure love and pure lineage as an eternal and unchanging tradition in which the age of unity and harmony blossoms.</p>
|
||||
<p>The third condition is a revolution of heart. This means that humanity must complete a world of true love in which God will want to come to human beings, consult us on all matters, and will want to reside with us. In other words, the revolution of heart is a revolution of true love. “Living for the sake of others” speaks of the practice of unchanging, sacrificial love. Think what it would be like if all of us lived for the sake of others more than for ourselves. God, the root source of true love, would reside within us and would live for our sake. What greater joy and glory could there be for us? Wherever the revolution of heart has been completed, there will be no such thing as family breakdown, racial strife, international border disputes, friction between religions, or any other vestiges of the satanic world. An eternal Peace Kingdom will be established.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, in 1996 my wife and I declared an end to the Unification Church and gave it a new beginning as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification in order to fulfill the heavenly command to build a world of peace on the earth. The will of Heaven resides in human peace grounded in true families, not in the progress of any particular church or religion. Over the past decades, we have carried out many activities on interreligious and international levels. On this foundation, we founded the Interreligious and International Peace Council, that is, “the Peace U.N.,” in New York on October 3, 2003, as a way of making a substantial beginning toward realizing a world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>A movement to remove crosses from church buildings in accordance with my declaration is spreading like wildfire in many areas of the world. Thousands of clergy have journeyed to Jerusalem, the epicenter of the strife in the Middle East, to participate in interreligious and international peace rallies. On December 22, 2003, many Jewish, Christian, and Muslim clergy took each other by the hand, sang the praises of peace, and performed a ceremony to crown Jesus as the King of Kings. It was a miracle performed in Jerusalem’s Independence Park before a crowd of some 20,000 people. This was a day when Jesus’ grief was resolved and the victory of True Parents could be declared to all of heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, in the same way that the mission of True Parents, to which my wife and I have been called, is a matter of heavenly destiny, your mission and that of heaven is to join hands with us in building a peaceful Kingdom of Heaven on this earth. Now, Heaven’s time has come.</p>
|
||||
<p>I pray that each of you will return to your communities and become passionate workers as messiahs and true parents yourselves in the effort to bring about world peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Rally of the Association of Unified Korean Clans<br />
|
||||
to Save the Homeland of Universal Peace<br />
|
||||
June 1, 2006<br />
|
||||
Marriott Hotel, Central City Complex, Seoul, Korea</h3>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished representative leaders of the Association of Unified Korean Clans; ladies and gentlemen:</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you for honoring us with your presence today. With the powerful proclamation of the new millennium still ringing in our ears, this day marks the beginning of the second year since the declaration of the opening of the “Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven”. This declaration instilled a promise of new hope for a new future in the hearts of the 6.5 billion people of the world. The dynamic period of the construction of God’s kingdom of “Cheon Il Guk”, when a day feels like a thousand years and a thousand years feels like a day, is continuing.</p>
|
||||
<p>As we usher in this precious and providentially significant time, I would like to take this opportunity to convey to you a special message from Heaven regarding your mission, in light of God’s calling to Koreans and as the leaders representing The Association of Unified Korean Clans. The topic of my speech today is, <i>“The Mission of the Clan Messiah in the Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven”</i>.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Hope of Humanity</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, if there were a dream common to all people regardless of gender, age, time or place, what would it be? Through all ages human beings have yearned and waited for the realization of the ideal of world peace. However, the everlasting peace that brings joy to Heaven has never been achieved in history. This fact remains the basis of our historical sorrow and anguish.</p>
|
||||
<p>What went wrong? What brought about the fall of humankind into ignorance of the ideal God had for His creation? Perfection cannot be found in ignorance, even if one waits for ten thousand years.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then how did human beings, created as the children of the omnipotent and omnipresent God, come to fall into such a state of ignorance? The first ancestors, Adam and Eve, followed the false parent, Satan, along the path of the Fall. Indeed, this is the first tragedy and the most mortifying and lamentable shame in human history.</p>
|
||||
<p>God cannot forsake humankind. Within His grand ideal of creation they were created to be His children and absolute counterparts in true love. Thus, He has endured the long years of history with a heart full of bitter pain, grief and anguish. God is the eternal True Parent of humanity who has had to persevere through a virtual imprisonment in the shadows of history. No one has known this reality.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Limitations of the Pursuit of Peace Based on Human Effort Alone</h3>
|
||||
<p>Throughout history, humankind has continually worked toward peace on the basis of human effort. The confrontation between democracy and communism is a prime example of this. The core difference between the two is the extent to which individual rights and freedoms are recognized and ensured. Communism and democracy are like children who lost their parents. The two divided into the positions of Cain and Abel respectively and became entrapped in the fetters of fraternal conflict.</p>
|
||||
<p>Human beings without exception are the children of Satan, with each one born inheriting Satan’s lineage. Consider yourself for a moment. In every moment and every affair of daily life, good and evil are fighting within you to gain the upper hand. Are they not? Peace movements always encountered limitations and failure throughout history because they were carried out by imperfect human beings. This is the reason that the United Nations (UN), launched with a splendid dream of realizing world peace, today has to confront its innate limitations and confess that it can no longer give hope to humanity. Simply put, the UN was launched during the era prior to the time in which Heaven can be directly involved with the unfolding of God’s providence in history.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, by virtue of Reverend Moon’s devotion to the path of heaven throughout the more than eighty years of his life, a new world is emerging. On this victorious foundation, the “Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven” has been proclaimed. We are now living in the age of heavenly fortune, an age in which all people can be liberated and delivered from the quagmire of sin. It is the era in which the world of freedom and happiness, the ideal world as originally intended at the time of creation, can be established.</p>
|
||||
<p>There are several clear reasons why Heaven designated the person standing before you, Reverend Moon, as the True Parent of humankind and thereby opened up a new era. First, it was on the foundation of my having successfully practiced “living for the sake of others”. That is, I applied the values of a life of true love, emerged triumphant, and offered that triumph to humanity. All human beings are born to live for the sake of others. However, because of the ignorance resulting from the Fall, people practice the complete opposite, selfish individualism. I have revealed this secret of Heaven and imparted this knowledge to humankind for the first time in history. God is fully aware of the path my life has taken, through thick and thin.</p>
|
||||
<p>Second, I have dedicated my life to overcoming all obstacles and laying a victorious foundation. Through the education provided by the actual practice of true love, I have fulfilled all conditions necessary for the recovery and establishment of a parent-child relationship between God and humankind. I have opened the way for human beings, who became the children of Satan the adulterer and enemy of love — and who have lived as slaves of false love, false life and false lineage — to be reborn into the true lineage of God, the source of true love. In other words, I have opened wide the path for people to reach full spiritual maturity as individuals and to establish true families, true clans, true peoples, true nations, and a true world, by leading lives of true love.</p>
|
||||
<h3>What Human Beings are to Inherit</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, as we make our way in the world, we find that inevitably many connections and relationships influence our lives. Most of these connections come about as a result of the choices we make in the context of the environment or conditions in which we find ourselves. These connections are human-based relationships that can be changed or erased whenever we like through human effort.</p>
|
||||
<p>On the other hand, heavenly relationships, bequeathed to us from the moment of birth by God, lie outside the realm of choice. These relationships are formed by connections of blood. Even though you may dislike your parents or siblings, for example, you cannot change them by choice or vote them out of office. This is because they are connected to you through ties of blood. Once you are born into the family with the surname “Kim”, you have to live forever as part of the lineage of the “Kim” family.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the reason humankind has yet to escape from the snare of sin? It is because people are born inheriting the false lineage of Satan from the outset. However, this is not an innate, principle-based blood connection bestowed by Heaven in accordance with the providential Will and Purpose. Rather it is an acquired relationship that exists in violation of the principle. It was brought about by human error.</p>
|
||||
<p>In other words, though human beings have been reduced to the position of orphans who have lost their parents through the Fall, the fundamental relationship of parent and child endowed by Heaven remains intact. Human beings, through the Fall, have become ignorant beings who live in a vegetative-like state unable to recognize their own Parent even though He is right there within and beside them.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, all human beings belong to the fallen lineage regardless of who they may be, and they must without exception be born again through the conversion of lineage. This is the only way to be restored into the originally-intended blood relationship bequeathed to us by God.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Value of the “Exchange” (Inter-Cultural) Marriage Blessing</h3>
|
||||
<p>Furthermore, the best way to restore humanity to the position of the children of God through conversion of lineage is through the inter-cultural “exchange” marriage blessing. It is the greatest of moral acts, creating the Heavenly lineage on a whole new level, transcending the walls of race, culture, nationality and religion. It is an act that severs all links of enmity. It is the sacred rite of the conversion of lineage, through which all can be re-created through the True Parents, the King and Queen of Peace, the substantial manifestations of God who enable Him to exercise His providence in the present world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Beloved representative leaders of the Association of Clans: ponder this question quietly in your heart. Is there any other way to deliver this world from the war and conflict we see around us? Is there a way that would be more certain than by creating one global family, where there is no hatred between family members, through inter-cultural “exchange” marriage between enemy clans or, going a step even further, between enemy nations?</p>
|
||||
<p>As the representative leaders of clans representing hundreds of thousands, or even millions, you each stand in the position of a “clan messiah”. Your ancestors going back tens and hundreds of generations have been mobilized to watch your every move. Hence, your mission has now been made as plain as plain can be. First and foremost, you will need to make it known to every member of your clan that the “Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven”, that is the era for the establishment of “Cheon Il Guk”, has now arrived. It means that you have the responsibility to educate them about the providence God is carrying out on a worldwide level in this era, centering on True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>You will need to teach them without fail that the inter-cultural “exchange” marriage blessing is the ultimate means to establish a peaceful, ideal world here on earth, so that your families and clans can all join the holy ranks of those blessed through the inter-cultural marriage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, it is truly regrettable that you cannot sense with your own eyes this precious “Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven” never before seen and never to be repeated. The reason for this is that you are relying only on your five physical senses. It is my heartfelt hope that you will open your five spiritual senses as quickly as possible so that you may definitely perceive how the providence of Heaven is unfolding in this era. However, there is one thing you need to know for sure: this providential time, this era of heavenly fortune, which you have received without giving anything on your part, will not wait for you indefinitely.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now the time has come for you to unite into one as the representatives of the Association of Unified Korean Clans who have preserved the spirit of the Korean people and the pride of the “white-clad race”. There is no time to waste. What does it matter whether your name is Kim or Pak? What reason is there for Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province not to unite in harmony? The pro-Seoul Korean Residents’ Union in Japan and the pro-Pyeongyang General Association of Korean Residents in Japan each have their roots in the same Korean Peninsula. How about South and North Korea? Are not their people all brothers and sisters, sharing a common lineage? At this time, we should bear in mind that we are the descendants of the “white-clad race” and the kinsfolk of a people called, selected and anointed by God in this era.</p>
|
||||
<p>Our ultimate purpose is to find and establish “the Nation” and “the Will” while serving God as the center. What nation would be “the Nation”? It refers to the Kingdom of the Peaceful Ideal World, similar in form to a true family with three generations living together in harmony, trusting, respecting and supporting one another and becoming one in love. In short “the Nation” is the nation where God is sovereign.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then what is meant by “the Will”? It signifies the Heavenly Way and Heavenly Rule. The command has been given to us on earth to judge, with the heavenly authority of true love, this evil world that suffers under scheming, treacherous regimes and to establish the ideal, peaceful world of true love, a liberated, free world, based on justice and truth.</p>
|
||||
<p>After all, humanity is meant to become one family. The remarkable advances of modern science are contributing greatly to making this world one global village and family. The beautiful Kingdom of the Peaceful Ideal World in which whites and blacks, and Orientals and Westerners, come together in harmony as one great family will be established on this earth.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Advent of the Universal Peace Federation</h3>
|
||||
<p>During this time of transition, the Universal Peace Federation and the Mongolian People’s Federation, that I have founded, will play important roles. The Universal Peace Federation will now stand in the Abel position to the existing UN. It will not be an arena of competition like that which exists between the member nations and departments of the UN. Instead, it will carry out an historic revolution for the peace and welfare of humanity on a pan-global and universal level. Unlike the UN which focuses on solutions, the Universal Peace Federation will fulfill the messianic mission which is genuinely beneficial to humankind on a more fundamental and substantial level.</p>
|
||||
<p>With this purpose in mind, on October 20 last year, while in the Ukraine during my world speaking tour propagating the inaugural message of the Universal Peace Federation in 120 nations, I proclaimed before the world the inauguration of the “World Peace Kingdom Police” and “World Peace Kingdom Corps”. These two organizations will play the same role as the red blood cells and white blood cells of our bodies. In all corners of the world they will protect the blessed families who have made a new beginning by engrafting to the lineage of Heaven. They will also fulfill their duty as sentinels, defending, protecting and cultivating this beautiful world, for which we must be grateful, this Garden of Eden given to us by God.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Mongolian People’s Federation for World Peace</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, the Mongolian race, making up 74 percent of the world’s population, is the largest racial group in the world. We should inspire all five billion of them and generate a climate of true love on this planet. You and I were born on the Korean Peninsula; we share the same cultural background. You should therefore become the peace ambassadors and special envoys of Heaven, conveying my teachings and educating others so they can establish exemplary families through true love, true life and true lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Mongolian birthmark is not merely a physical mark of the Mongolian race. It is without doubt the mark given by Heaven long ago to function as the sign by which True Parents would rouse and unite all humanity with the arrival of the “Revolutionary Era after the Coming of Heaven”. Furthermore, the Korean race, standing at the center of the Mongolian peoples, should be in the forefront of the 6.5 billion people of the world, fulfilling its mission of representing True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>You should join the proud ranks of the “World Peace Kingdom Police” and “World Peace Kingdom Corps” in obedience to the lofty aims of the Universal Peace Federation, for the sake of God and for humanity. The more than 280 clans of Korea should become one, transcending the limits of their names and clans, and uniting proudly as a people chosen by God in this era. Please bear in mind that this is the God-given mission that you have been given as leaders representing the Korean clans and race.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please do not forget that the building of the ideal, peaceful world, that God envisaged at the time of the Creation, and that He desired when He created humankind, is now being realized right before your eyes. If this is not a miracle, then what is? All over the world, the couples blessed in the inter-cultural “exchange” marriages are putting down roots of the true love of Heaven. The new heavenly lineage is bearing fruit. The day draws near when the beautiful earth will become the original Garden of Eden, where we will enjoy everlasting peace and happiness and where, for innumerable generations, our descendants will shout “Hallelujah! for Cheon Il Guk”.</p>
|
||||
<p>May the great blessings and the grace of God be with you, your clans, and the Korean people.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

|
||||
<p>Respected guests, over the past 50 years, as humanity has experienced many trials and wars, both locally and internationally, it has placed its trust in the United Nations as the only institution that could address these issues on a global scale. However, the world we live in today has reached a point where the United Nations, as it currently exists, cannot successfully address this enormous challenge. Likewise, although the United States has emerged as the world’s lone superpower, it does not have the capacity to deal with the crises that we confront today. We must conclude that political, economic, and military power, by themselves, cannot meet the critical challenges of the day.</p>
|
||||
<p>Today I would like to take this precious opportunity to speak on the topic <i>“The New Elimination of Boundaries and World Peace”</i> and convey to you Heaven’s message for this age. Truly, this is a joyful, historic, and providential declaration before the hundreds of billions of human beings now living on earth and in the spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Today, on every level, boundaries cause division and conflict. If we can eliminate all the boundaries in this world, a world of peace would inevitably come about. We must recognize who owns those boundaries. Clearly, it is not God. It was the devil, Satan, who first created boundaries. Wherever a boundary exists, there is always the devil and his cohorts. This is a result of the Human Fall, when the first human ancestors switched their lineage, and good and evil began to diverge from each other. When we look at the division between the East and the West, we see that different cultural spheres have led to antagonism at their boundaries and that the devil is encamped there. It was Satan, not God, who created boundaries, by digging all sorts of traps and enmeshing people in racial discrimination and evil cultures, histories, and traditions. God’s desire is for a world of goodness and unity — a world of oneness in which all humanity lives as one great family. Boundaries have no place in such a world. In a world without boundaries, there can be no enemies. The concept of “enemy” entails the existence of boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we love our enemies and make oneness with them, the boundaries between us will collapse. That is why God’s strategy and tactic has always been “Love your enemy.” There can be no greater strategy for peace than this. Throughout history, this incredible fact has escaped humanity’s understanding, and it has yet to be grasped even in modern times.</p>
|
||||
<p>Today, I tell you clearly that God’s strategy and tactic for human salvation is to love your enemy. You and the members of the Unification Church who have followed me until now are the representatives of history as well as of the current world who now know Heaven’s incredible secret. Our responsibility now is to inherit this principle, put it into practice, and become a true human being. If you accomplish these things, you are sure to become a key player in bringing about a world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, when and where are boundaries formed? Boundaries first take shape within ourselves. They form in places where our hearts find something disagreeable, where our bodies find something disagreeable, where we find our own actions to be disagreeable, and where we find our own words to be disagreeable. When, in response to our five senses, our mind and body are in disharmony, boundaries of all sorts come into being. Please take a moment to consider all the different kinds of boundaries, both large and small, that fill our lives.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you are determined to practice the maxims “Don’t have enemies” and “Don’t create boundaries,” there may come a time when you will need to pluck out one of your own eyes. This is because it is possible to have two kinds of eyes. If you have an eye that says, “This is nice, and that is nice, too,” and likes everything it sees, good and bad, then a huge boundary will form in that eye, separating how that eye sees the world from how God sees the world. The same is true with our hearing. On the one hand, we like listening to words of goodness and truth, while on the other, we also listen to the evil words of the world and conform ourselves to them. When we do this, we create boundaries in our ears.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initiated the Unification Church, I did not forbid our members from listening to popular songs even though many Christians banned such music. The issue is not whether the music is a popular or classical piece, but whether the person singing a particular song is able to digest its content correctly. Good and evil are not determined by genre. The question is whether singing a particular song eliminates an existing boundary or creates a new one. If a person is able to build a bridge of true love that is pleasing to God, then it does not matter what kind of song he sings, whether it is a popular song or even a song whose words are in some exotic language.</p>
|
||||
<p>From this perspective, the fact that the boundaries found in your environment are the result of sensations received through your five senses as well as everything that has been passed down to you through the ladder of historical tradition means that it is not by your own choice that you find yourselves belonging to Satan’s domain. In other words, if there were no boundaries in our lives, we could stand on God’s side. Please remember that Satan is a king who has used every means possible to create boundaries in our lives, and that God is the King who hates boundaries more than anything else.</p>
|
||||
<p>As you know, the Korean peninsula where I was born is still divided between North and South near the 38th Parallel. Those who like having this division along the 38th Parallel are on Satan’s side, while those who offer their lives to fight for its elimination will become the champions whom God finds most pleasing. If all 70 million Koreans were determined not to leave this division in place, even at the cost of all their lives, then the unification of the Korean peninsula would be accomplished automatically. But this will not be an easy task.</p>
|
||||
<p>Wherever such a “38th Parallel” exists, Satan is the owner; and wherever a “38th Parallel” is eliminated, God is the owner. For this reason, the members of the Unification Church who have followed me have carried on a reform movement to digest and remove all of humanity’s “38th Parallels,” that is, to eliminate all boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p>When the day comes when everyone feels desperate to have exchange marriages for their children — that is, choosing their sons-in-law and daughters-in-law from enemy nationalities — everything under heaven will automatically be unified as one. Respected guests, this message from Heaven is my gift to you today. Let me remind you again: Wherever there is a boundary, that is where you will find Satan’s kinfolk living; wherever people live in harmony and peace without a “38th Parallel,” there you are certain to find God’s kinfolk — true people of goodness who have inherited God’s lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, I am now very interested in pursuing projects to open up a new world of tourism and hobby industries. There are many places throughout the world where people would like to go to live and pursue their leisure activities. Such areas — whether they are near an international border or in a desert area — should be owned peacefully and in common by all humanity through a new international and interreligious organization that would be on par with the United Nations. To accomplish this global task, I have already proposed to everyone who follows me that we collect a Total Living Offering Fund. This entire fund will be placed under the Interreligious and International Peace Council, which will stand at the level of a new international organization like the United Nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>We see in the Bible that during the Old Testament age, animals symbolizing all of creation were sacrificed in the place of human beings. These were cut into two parts and their blood was drained. The left part represented Satan’s side, while the right part was on the side of Heaven. This is how the struggle over ownership had been historically carried out. Then, Jesus, God’s only begotten Son and first-born, came to earth and shed his blood. In the end, Jesus’ physical body was claimed by Satan, while his heart returned to God in the spirit world. Because of humanity’s disbelief, Jesus, too, was divided into two on the cross.</p>
|
||||
<p>After going to the spirit world, Jesus said he would come again, because he must recover his substantial body. His death was a terrible tragedy. The mind and body of Jesus, God’s only begotten Son, became divided and, because of this, the spirit world and the physical world remained divided. At the beginning of history, men and women became divided against each other, as were mind and body, and Jesus came to unify all these. Toward this purpose, he claimed the spirit world’s right of ownership, but he must come to earth again to claim ownership on earth as well, and make everything one. What will he do when he comes? He will marry, establishing the true lineage and thereby creating a true family.</p>
|
||||
<p>Satan, who seized the physical body of Jesus, God’s first-born, continued to hold possession of the earthly world, while God held the heavenly world. After going to the spirit world, Jesus spent 2,000 years preparing the path. While he worked in the spirit world to focus the world of the mind on the goal of unification, he was working in the earthly world by establishing the foundation for Christianity. However, Christianity became divided between Catholicism and Protestantism, which were in the roles of the struggling brothers, Cain and Abel. These adversaries continue to fight each other today. The first-born, in the position of Cain, came to be on the side of Satan, and the second-born, in the position of Abel, came to be on the side of Heaven. Within this paradigm, history has developed through continual fighting, as people adopted ideas and concepts that resulted in the creation of increasingly more boundaries. Liberation must be brought to this situation.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Lord who comes again will unify the heavenly kingdom and establish a unified country on earth that fulfills the ideal of the biblical nation of Israel. He will also perform a new model of marriage that creates oneness for the first time between heaven and earth, and between man and woman, who have been fighting each other for thousands of years. This is what Christianity refers to as the “Marriage of the Lamb.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Historically, the period immediately following the Second World War was an excellent opportunity to unite the heavenly world and the earthly world centered on Christianity. The Christian cultural sphere stood in the same position as if it had unified the entire world. It was the best opportunity for Jesus, who had become a victorious supreme leader, to return to the earth, together with the Holy Spirit, centering on the unified Christian cultural sphere on earth. Then, with himself as the groom and the Holy Spirit as the bride, he could have initiated a new marriage that would have brought resolution to all of humanity’s problems. Everything in God’s creation would have become a peaceful Kingdom of Heaven. This is not a vague or ambiguous notion.</p>
|
||||
<p>When you look at God’s ideal of creation, who was supposed to be the first couple ever to be married? It was Adam and Eve. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve fell, and this resulted in humanity becoming enslaved to thousands, even tens of thousands, of boundaries. But when three things happen — the walls that originated with Eve are torn down to make the land flat, the positions of Adam and Eve before the Fall are restored, and they are married anew — then this would be welcomed not only by our ancestors but also by God. When such a world is brought about, this will be the Kingdom of God on Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>This has never happened in human history. Until now, human beings have been slaves, entangled and tormented within countless boundaries. They have lived their lives groaning in agony. If we can only find the answer to the question of how to abolish all boundaries, this will also be the first step toward human peace. Until this moment, humanity has lived in ignorance of this. Now, for the first time in history, I have appeared on this earth in the capacity of True Parent. I am teaching this answer, and giving the new Holy Marriage Blessing, in the presence of God, to all good men and women for all to see. Even if there were a million boundaries in the world, it would not be a problem for me. They can be eliminated easily. How can this be so? It is possible because of true love. Unless a person knows God 100 percent and stands in the same position as God, it is impossible to resolve such a situation.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the spirit world, there is hell and heaven. If we compare heaven to the daytime, hell is like the night. How can a person who has not experienced both day and night exercise control over the borderline between heaven and hell? There is no way. Only a person who knows the content can naturally come to exercise control. Only the person who knows with certainty the content of hell can wipe away the darkness.</p>
|
||||
<p>God is omnipotent and omniscient, so He is able to wipe away the darkness. The problem is for us to come to know God. How well do you know God? Does He like money? Does He like power? Or is He only interested in knowledge? If God were like this, we could not be certain about humanity’s eventual liberation.</p>
|
||||
<p>It is only when we know God completely that we can banish Satan completely and bring total resolution to the issue of boundaries. We need to know what God has that can be used to resolve the age-old problem of boundaries. This is important. If God is the owner of the universe, should there not be a neighborhood and a country where this owner lives? If we are to know God, then we must stand in the reciprocal position to God and go in search of that country where we can become members of the royal family.</p>
|
||||
<p>All environments, though, are cut off by various kinds of boundaries, so it is by eliminating these boundaries that we can go about creating a world that God will find pleasing. When that happens, all creation will want to receive God’s direct dominion. They will want to be liberated from the rule of the devil, which has brought persecution, agony, and the weight of countless boundaries.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected leaders, it is most important that we know God with certainty and know the heavenly world, or spirit world, with certainty. Just do this, and no matter the time or the place, you will be able to figure out how to adapt and deal with any situation.</p>
|
||||
<p>God definitely lives in the heavenly world. How can it be, then, that the world in which we live is divided by thousands and tens of thousands of boundaries? It has become such a nonsensical world, because not only is there no one who knows God correctly and knows the heavenly world, but also there is no one who knows the content of the tradition of the heavenly world. When we come to know that content with certainty, a realm of liberation will appear in the spirit world and in the earthly world. All we need do is become a true person who is knowledgeable about all the secrets of the heavenly world and capable of immobilizing Satan. Then we will come to know how to live in a culture and tradition that lets us be as one body with heavenly law. Such a person is a true person who embodies “true love that lives for the sake of others.” This is not a person who seeks selfish love for his or her own sake only, but a true person who makes it possible for his or her partner to become an owner of true love. A true person sacrifices everything for the sake of his or her partner and makes it possible for the partner to dance and live within true love. Such a true person becomes an heir to the heavenly world and is protected and loved by the heavenly world. Satan cannot lay a hand on such an heir to the heavenly world.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we go beyond feeling anger at the sight of someone being killed and instead live for the sake of our enemy with true love, then we can rule the world of the enemy, and Satan automatically withdraws. The world of the enemy will come to respect and attend you. If you live for the sake of those around you and give them true love to a greater extent than you would your own children or parents, Satan will automatically withdraw. God will come and fill that position instead and repay you thousands and tens of thousands of times over.</p>
|
||||
<p>What did I say is the secret to forcing Satan to run away? In the presence of a true person who is determined to live for the sake of others in true love, die for the sake of others, and love for the sake of others, Satan, no matter how determined he may be, will have no choice other than to forfeit his boundaries and run away. Even if he runs away, he cannot do so without first tearing down the boundaries. What will happen then? Because Satan has left, a process of eternal life will unfold in which all those countless numbers of people who were sent straight to hell will turn around 180 degrees and rise up into the heavenly kingdom. The blessing of eternal life will be given. By becoming a true person who knows God with certainty, knows the spirit world with certainty, and can practice “true love for the sake of others,” which is the traditional philosophy of the heavenly world, you become qualified for the first time to refer to God as your “Father.” It is only in this position that the link in the lineage between parent and child is established, and it is only through this heavenly lineage that the logic and tradition of eternal life are decisively and inseparably attached to you.</p>
|
||||
<p>Eternal life is an essential attribute of true love. When God created the universe, He did so with the standards of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience. Please understand that God pours out His true love for eternity regardless of how the world may change or pass away. So it is impossible for there to be any existence that is not subject to God’s governance or does not attend God as the absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal owner. When human beings, who were created to have eternal life, become God’s sons and daughters, and stand in a position of oneness with God, His Kingdom becomes our kingdom and God becomes a personal God for each of us. When, in our daily lives, we are one with God, the traditional owner of the heavenly world, and there is no room to doubt that we are His son or daughter, then it will be only natural that we enjoy eternal life and immortality. That is why there is truth in the paradoxical statement, “Those who seek to lose their life for the sake of Heaven will live, and those who seek to live for themselves will die.”</p>
|
||||
<p>In eliminating boundaries, we must address the boundaries within the United Nations. We must also eliminate religious boundaries, ethnic boundaries, and the boundary between hell and heaven. Boundaries were originally created by false parents, so no one except the True Parents can eliminate them. Even God cannot do it, because He did not establish them. Satan absolutely will not do it. Who can bring an end to the conflict between Satan and God that has continued throughout history? Because this is something committed by the false parent, only the person who comes as the True Parent of humankind can set it right.</p>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished guests who are concerned about the world and cherish the desire for peace among humankind: In this time, which is the final fruit-bearing season in human history, Heaven has sent me to this earth as the Savior, Messiah, returning Lord, and True Parent of humankind. I received Heaven’s command at the young age of 16, and have followed it ever since. My life of more than 80 years has been focused on just one thing — to complete the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven according to the desire that God has treasured since the beginning of time. I have experienced all manner of persecution so unimaginably intense that the six billion people on earth today would not be able to endure even if they joined their hearts together as one. Even in the midst of that, I stood on the standard of absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience to God and completed all restoration through indemnity for the sake of humankind. The power of Satan has now been completely eradicated from the earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now a new world is opening up for humankind. I have already founded the Federation of Island Nations, the Federation of Peninsular Nations, and the Federation of Continental Nations in the spirit world and the earthly world. Not only that, while you were unaware, humanity has already entered the third year of Cheon II Guk (the Kingdom of God). Not only has the lost realm of the first Israel been restored, but I have also completed the declaration before God and the cosmos of the start of the “Fourth Israel Nation.” In the spirit world, the leaders of the five great religions and 120 billion new blessed families have formed a oneness based on my absolute standard and are standing at the forefront in the effort to build a world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your mission now is to engrave into your memory the meaning of my declaration today regarding <i>“The New Elimination of Boundaries and World Peace,”</i> return to your communities, and be the first to practice true love in your family, society, nation, and world for the purpose of building the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth and in Heaven. I believe that you will devote your full efforts to the Interreligious and International Peace Council, which we have formed together here today as a body on the level of a new Abel-like United Nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>I hope that each of you will make a determination to live for the sake of liberating true love and that God’s blessing may be with you as you return home. Thank you.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">East Garden<br />
|
||||
2 May 2003</h3>
|
||||
<blockquote><p>True Father spoke during the morning hoondokhae on Monday 2 May 2003 in the grand hall of East Garden with members of the True Family, eighty American church leaders who had participated in the Hudson River fishing tournament held on April 30th and May 1st, and about 120 local members in attendance. This is the commemorative address for the fiftieth anniversary of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HSA-UWC).</p></blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Now is a time of great transition. All Unification Church members must go beyond the way of life we had in the past. From now, we should live up to every plan we make. I’m talking about day-to-day life, not some sort of concept. Every idea should be actualized in daily life. That’s how the spirit world and the physical world become one. There is no other way in particular.</p>
|
||||
<p>Newly-appointed Ambassadors for Peace asked me how they should live their lives from now. They should know that they must follow the entire official course that Unification Church members underwent historically, and that what happens presently in the spirit world must be the center of their lives on earth. That’s how they can unite with the spirit world. We had different concepts before, but from now, we should be really more confident of living in the presence of the spirit world. You must understand that things will be very different from now. Do you understand? (Yes.)</p>
|
||||
<p>What I said in the past is the same as what I say to you now. Whether you can or cannot live for the Will on the world level is the principle that determines whether or not you can be the central figures in realizing the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore you must follow that principle. Knowing that, if you lived a very conceptual life, you should change and live your life fully and substantially from now. That’s how you can make unity between the spirit world and the physical world in your own daily life. Go beyond your own realm of life and unite both worlds on the national level. That’s how the Unified Kingdom of Heaven integrating God’s Kingdom on Earth and in Heaven can be realized.</p>
|
||||
<p>You haven’t lived your life with that concept. Things were separated. Unification Church life and blessed families’ lives were separated. The Unification Church’s visions and ideas were different from those of the world. Until now, Americans have been thinking and acting within the limits of traditionally American ideas. You should now transcend that and make unity originate in the new dimension. That’s where you are as the owners of Cheon Il Guk. You need to understand that.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Anniversary of HSA-UWC</h3>
|
||||
<p>When I was twenty-five, I planned out all the essentials of the Unification Church. That’s how I founded the Unification Church, in that age, and in that world. The reason that you live within the realm of the Unification Church is to follow and to live my way of life in the Realm of Life. That’s logical.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you listen to it, you’ll know how amazing it is. Looking at it in the past and in the present, everything is consistent. It’s been consistent from the beginning to the end, from head to tail. Following the consistent principle, the world where love is in order can be created. It’s the re-creation; it’s not the creation but re-creation. The world God created was all lost and even God was lost; that’s why there should be re-creation. I, Adam, who have nothing to do with the Fall, must take responsibility to recreate God’s lost world.</p>
|
||||
<p>To make the God of sorrow become the God of happiness, the entire Unification Church celebrated His Coronation! And then we celebrated the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic True Parent and the True Parents of Heaven and Earth. God couldn’t touch the world He created. Through the completion of my work of restoration through indemnity, God could control the creation. However, the owner of the re-created world is not God. You must understand this point clearly.</p>
|
||||
<p>The owner of the recreated world is not God; it’s not God who has to pay indemnity, it was actually Adam’s responsibility. Adam should have fulfilled his responsibility in his generation. Otherwise, God couldn’t stand in the original position where the original ideal began. You should understand God had to suffer as a God of incompetence for so long although He truly is all-knowing and all-competent. How sad He must have been. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>So, how old are you? Dr. Yang, how old are you? (I’m fifty.) If you’re fifty, you should have lived uprightly for twenty-five years from the time you were twenty-five. God’s Nation and Realm of Life have developed from the individual, familial, tribal, national and global age. Passing through different levels of development, you have become liberated enough to come and go in the spiritual and physical worlds as you wish. You should understand this point clearly. Unless you offer God’s Nation and Palace where you can attend Him, your mission as Adam isn’t over. This is eternal truth.</p>
|
||||
<p>All saints and sages in the spirit world so far have never lived in glory. They have tried hard to reach the very goal of perfection ever since the Fall. You should know that it will continue to be that way until we have actualized the Realm of the Ideal of Love, the unity of heaven and earth in liberation.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you didn’t complete this on earth, you’d still have to carry this uncompleted in heaven. You’d have to go through the training for eternity in order to overcome the uncompleted. That’s the course you’ll have to go over. You should be grateful for the fact that you could greet this age while living on earth, and understand that you have inherited something more precious than your own nation, more than your living world, more than your love and life. Know of a surety how precious your present life is. Do you understand? You can’t drink, smoke or do all kinds of things as you please. One person with the value of a hundred! Say it, “One person with the value of a hundred.” (“One person with the value of a hundred.”) Everyone should have the value of a hundred people. Whether at beginning or the end–the beginning, the middle or the end–you must achieve this.</p>
|
||||
<p>It’s not God’s responsibility to liberate Himself and complete His creation by actualizing the truth. If it were, He would not have left Adam and Eve to fall. How sorrowful it is that it was actually Adam’s responsibility. Nobody ever thought this way throughout all of human history, not one person. It isn’t God who is responsible for re-creation but each one of you. So who is the owner of Cheon Il Guk? Your families are. Our families are. Because of one family, all of heaven and earth are blocked. Because our first family missed the fishing bait, we should create the fishing baits again and hook them to go back to the original position. You can do so when you’re willing to suffer even more than God in the spiritual and physical worlds. This is a logical conclusion.</p>
|
||||
<p>As a young man of twenty-four or twenty-five knowing all these things, on the basis of these conclusions I hung up the Unification Church signboard. You should understand this. Even nowadays, when I listen to my words from those days there is nothing that requires correction. Based on that reality, you must start anew. Being in America can’t be an excuse not to do so. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Family Party</h3>
|
||||
<p>What’s next? It is the Family Party. What comes after that is God’s Wedding. God couldn’t hold His Wedding. He couldn’t register His marriage. Did He or didn’t He? God Himself couldn’t register the birth as the Owner of All Creation in the universe. Because of whom? Because of Adam. Therefore, True Parents must liberate God by placing Him above the kingship. You must understand clearly that God could never become the owner with autonomy over the things He created in heaven and earth from the smallest to the greatest. You must understand how sorrowful it has been for God.</p>
|
||||
<p>You can’t brag about yourselves centering on this small little church of lesser worth than a single leaf. Those things are not important. Because Adam and Eve destroyed the realm of liberation of the re-creation where God could be free, as soon as God recovers the power of re-creation to return to the world having nothing to do with the Fall, the perfection of Adam and Eve can be realized at once. You can fashion the entire universe anew. That’s why you must have the conviction following the direction of God’s will. If you can do that, things will open up for you automatically. You’ll be sorted out if you can’t do that. If you keep changing your minds, you’ll all be blocked!</p>
|
||||
<p>Why do I need Judaism? Why do I need Islam, Christianity and the Unification Church? They came about due to the Fall. You should understand that I must push them aside and make God’s Original Palace of Liberation and acquire ownership of the Kingship of God’s Nation in Heaven and on Earth with my own hands. Because I have this kind of faith and conviction, if I am ruined, all of heaven and earth will be ruined as well. You should have that kind of conviction and faith. Do you understand? [Yes.] How extraordinary are the things I’m telling you now? You should understand them. It’s inevitable for fallen humankind to go that course anyway.</p>
|
||||
<p>What was the major theme I spoke on after the inauguration of the Family Party? It was the Registration of Marriages and Births! Whose marriage registration was I talking about? Not mine. It was God’s marriage and birth registration. Nobody ever thought about that before. We should make sure we have that in the day of the new start. I need to tell you this to enable myself to walk about freely without a cane: Because we went beyond the forty-year period, yesterday, on May 1st, on the anniversary of the founding of the Unification Church that has begun its fiftieth year, although I couldn’t talk to you yesterday, I can’t just let you go back without hearing my words. So, today, I’ve connected things again newly and make a re-determination by having things upside down and having heaven and earth upside down in a different dimension. I’m not talking about turning 180 degrees but 360 degrees to bring everything to the original position. That’s the place where you can make the new start. So, now if anyone stops you, and if you curse them, your curse will actually come true. If you curse someone saying, “you shall be destroyed,” it will actually happen. You should be sons and daughters of God with that kind of faith and conviction, shouldn’t you? (We should.) Those who promise to have that kind of conviction should raise both hands. (Everyone raises both hands.) True Parents truly want God’s blessing to be with you.</p>
|
||||
<p>The next is the Family Party! As long as we have the Family Party, you don’t need the Democratic or Republican Parties. We need to be the owners to build the original homeland. That’s why you must love all things. That way, you must re-create all things including all the plants. They lost their true owners. They had a true owner until the time when Adam was sixteen years old. But after the fall, all things lost the true owner. Things became defiled. So blessed families must take the responsibility for the failure as if they are the ones who failed at the time of Adam and Eve. That’s why our blessed families are the owners of Cheon Il Guk.</p>
|
||||
<p>You should think about the fact that humankind was born in the realm of hell and in the realm of humanity both in the spirit world and the physical world, like twins at the same time. So all people are brothers and sisters to each other. If you can’t enter the dimension where you feel brotherly or sisterly love even for your own mother and father, you can’t be perfected and can’t live in the palace in the other world. You’ll just drift around the palace for thousands or ten thousands of years.</p>
|
||||
<p>How serious that is if you think about it. Some Unification Church members became like Christians, going to church on Sundays, and going to hoondokhae, avoiding anything complicated in their minds. You continue to live like that. You will have more difficult peaks to cross over than those who don’t know the Principle. If you commit individual crimes, you’ll create very thorny paths to pass through. Your lives shouldn’t be so pathetic like that. You should leave behind the lineage of purity, pure blood and pure love as ancestors of the Blessing. You should really writhe in agony not to leave Satan’s stained lineage creating thorny paths for your descendants on earth. You should really try hard making serious conditions. To cross over the peak, you must fulfill your responsibility before you go to the spirit world even if you have to risk your lives hundreds or thousands times. That’s your responsibility. Therefore, you must walk this course with one heart and one mindset whether you’re awake or asleep. You mustn’t think anything else. Do you understand? [Yes.]
|
||||
<p>God was that serious. Do you know how serious I was when I founded the Unification Church? I created the principled track. Whether people like it or not, they must run on the track to reach the destination. The trains should run on the track whether they are high up or low down or passing through dark tunnels. You should have no individualistic will in order to reach the right destination. With that wish, the age of the new heavenly kingdom ideology has come. The new age has come when you can build a nation on the foundation made by your individual selves and families. You should be absolutely well-prepared. You should always be on guard to become good heavenly princes and princesses in creating the purpose of the heavenly ideal of creation. You should become God’s princes and princesses to inherit the victorious foundation living together with God. You are in the realm of family expanding from one nation, one culture, one world and one brotherlhood. It’s the purpose of the whole for the Unification Church to restore. Do you understand? [Yes.]
|
||||
<p>If you don’t know it, you should record my word and make that your reference. My word isn’t made up randomly. Absolutely it follows the heavenly way from the beginning to the end including the entire process. They are all one. That’s why God has no choice but to follow me. You should understand it, right? [Yes.]
|
||||
<p>Jesus should have completed the restoration through indemnity. Jesus should have gotten married and created his own family. He should have had all Jews belong to the heavenly nation at the same time. He should have blessed the Roman Empire and the rest of the world as well by the time he turned forty. Then, God’s Kingdom on Earth and in Heaven could have been realized.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because of the sin of killing Jesus, Israelis and Palestines are fighting. They couldn’t be brothers. They should have created a realm of one culture, one nation and one heart, but Islam, Judaism, and Christianity had to be born separately. That’s the sad history. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>People are talking about our removing the cross. That’s not a big problem. Jesus is dead. The sin of killing the True Parent cannot be forgiven even if all mankind perished, even if the Israelites were sacrificed for a thousand or ten thousand generations. The people of Israel could not grasp the magnitude of their crime. As a parallel age has just now arrived, something similar can happen as happened then.</p>
|
||||
<p>Just like Judaism, Islam and Christianity were divided, a parallel age has come, therefore, those three religions must be united centering on the Unification Church. Do you understand? Now is not just a global age but a cosmic age. Therefore, the Lord of the Second Advent, the Messiah, the Savior must create the heavenly kingdom of peace in this world. In that world, there can be no religious conflicts. The Lord of the Second Advent has to come because the first Lord couldn’t fulfill his responsibility. He should come to realize the realm of liberation on earth and in heaven. That’s the providence of history.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now you know it. So you should put your knowledge into practice and cross over the peak. That way, you can bring yourselves before God’s presence and establish the realm of ideal of liberation with which you can govern heaven and earth. It is our destined mission to register ourselves in the new nation being praised by all the high-ranking people in the heavenly nation, to be the new people. You should understand clearly that that’s still on your way. If you die without realizing your mission, you’ll be in trouble. Therefore, while you’re living on earth, you must invest everything you have to restore all that. You should have strong enough determination to burn your own eyes, your nose, your five organs and all, if you have to. You are very likely to fail in the history of providence. Can God take responsibility for you? He can’t. If He could, Adam and Eve would never have fallen to begin with. That’s a very logical conclusion.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who is responsible for re-creation? It’s not God. It’s you who know everything. So we say, Cheon Il Guk what? Our families are what kind of families? Our families are the owners of Cheon Il Guk. It’s not just a theory. When talking about the owners of Cheon Il Guk, you should remember that all living beings from the smallest to the entire cosmos, which is a hundred billion times bigger than our solar system, exist in a pair system. Everything exists in pairs. Satan stained the whole thing with his blood and separated them all. So we must collect and clear them all to make them new. That’s why you should love plants, animals, and soils to ease their sorrow and pain for not having been their true owners. That’s how you can dissolve their sorrow and pain. That’s why you come to have a new view of life and the universe. Do you understand? [Yes.]
|
||||
<p>You should know to put on summer clothes when summer comes. Knowing the Unification Church, some people still stay in the Presbyterian Church or the Catholic Church. They are all like falling leaves in autumn. When autumn comes, leaves lose their green and automatically fall to be manure. Before autumn, you should have the right nutrition to give the roots, branches and buds in the green age. That’s how you can leave the ties of life behind. That’s logical. Understanding well, you should live your lives on earth in the new dimension. Do you understand?</p>
|
||||
<p>You must understand it clearly. It’s the Family Party. We don’t need the Family Party. We don’t need a party. What we need is the family in which we can attend God. That’s it. Because it’s not done yet, even if you have to die thousands or ten thousands of times, you should still be willing to go the course of indemnity. God wants to go for us. But you should realize that you should want to volunteer to be sacrificial offerings to be the prince of princes, the queen of queens, the best filial children, loyal subjects, saints and holy people in heaven and earth. Even if you are in the realm of God’s heart where you receive God’s love freely, you should feel sorry with tears lamenting the fact that you have no right to be where you are. Even if you did burn yourselves with blood and sweat for God, you should still feel lacking in serving God. That’s the only way you can be free from the failure made by prince and princess who have gone through the course to find God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now, should you make a new determination or not? Do you understand? [Yes.] Are you keeping the record worldwide right? [Yes.] You should record this and educate the entire world with it. You must keep the record of this and use it anytime. You can’t do anything unless you know the standard of the start or the conditions made for the tradition.</p>
|
||||
<p>Did God have a wedding or not? (No, He didn’t.) God created all things in pairs because He is the harmonious union of dual characteristics. God is plus and minus together in harmony. He stands in the masculine position. Even if heaven and earth changes, it will never change the fact that God is the Subject and has male status. However, such a world hasn’t even come yet. You are the ones who should create even God. Because you are the ones who destroyed the Heavenly Nation and Palace, you must build them all and liberate God. On that foundation, if you are willing to be a thousand or ten thousand times better as filial children, patriots, saints and holy sons and daughters, how can there be hell? You will be the center of the palace of the heavenly nation where God can always stay and rest.</p>
|
||||
<p>Can you understand the conceptual range of my words? Do you understand what I’m talking about? (Yes.) Do you understand? (Yes.) You should like that way. The Unification Church (Holy Spirit Association) is not some sort of association. It can’t be an association. It’s the family of love! Repeat after me. The family of love! (The family of love!) You’re the owners of the family. When you become the owners, you can restore all your mothers and fathers. You should register the marriages of your parents. Do you understand? (Yes.) You have ancestors and parents, right? You should force your parents, if you need to, and have them register their marriages. They will be grateful for eternity, even if they were forced to go through the Blessing. They will be grateful eternally when they find out that, thanks to you, they have the Nation where they can register their children’s births.</p>
|
||||
<p>I’m like that too. I’ve suffered because of my faith in the Unification Church; however, I don’t see my suffering as suffering. I’ve experienced the realm of the heart of gratitude. I could experience it deeply, widely, and highly thanks to the suffering I went through. You never know how it feels unless you reach there. Those who didn’t go to the hospital can’t know how it feels to be there. Restoration through indemnity can never be accomplished without going through suffering.</p>
|
||||
<p>God has nothing to be proud of in front of me. God was not in the position to liberate the beginning process and love Adam and Eve as His children. By restoring God to His rightful position, and putting God in the Father’s position the children, fallen humankind, must receive love from Him. That’s the way of sorrowful history all humankind must follow. Do you understand? You must understand the conclusion. Without God’s marriage and birth registration, there can be no Nation.</p>
|
||||
<p>It’s not only True Parents. True Parents exist in history having the standard with the same value, and at the same level. In the future, if the world knows the truth, people will wail every single day. There is a place called, ‘The Wailing Wall’ in Israel for people to repent. It’ll be the same. You must have the realm of liberation over sorrow to cross over this peak.</p>

<p>What will the family party do? Through the Family Party, the world needs to know that God liberated heaven and earth and that He could hold marriages. We can register our marriages now because God registered the marriage and births of His children. Because God went beyond the Three Great Realms, He can return to His original position. Therefore, all ministers and people in the religious realm must humbly realize how sorrowful they are and repent. If you understand this, you will be speechless out of reverence.</p>
|
||||
<p>Following this principle, you must make a new determination. Those who pledge to live with a new determination must stand up and pledge many times before Heavenly Father.</p>
|
||||
<p>I’ve told you everything that I needed to tell you. You know things now as if you were in those early years when the Unification Church was founded. Now, you have completely inherited two things, the privileges of marriage and birth registration. You should pledge to live the life of one heart, one body, one mindset and one harmony. If you live that way, you should believe that you could be the royalty of God’s Kingdom in Heaven and the people of the Heavenly Kingdom. I truly hope that you’ll put your belief into practice as I close this meeting. Do you understand? (Yes.)</p>

(On the occasion of the signing of the Seoul Declaration)</h3>
|
||||
<p>Respected present and former heads of state, world leaders dedicated to establishing the realm of God’s ideal, youth and university student leaders, ladies and gentlemen,</p>
|
||||
<p>I would like first to give thanks before God, who has left behind the darkness and melancholy of the past century to bless the new millennium with bountiful hope and dreams of peace. I have invited you to hold this conference in the Republic of Korea, the only nation on Earth where the sharp conflict between democracy and communism continues even to this moment. I state this not simply because, from the individual perspective, it is my homeland, but rather because, from the perspective of God’s providence, the Korean peninsula, though small in size, is the central country of the twenty-first century that must bring about human peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>I will speak today on the topic, “The Owners of Re-creation,” to help you understand God’s providence and to clarify our mission and responsibility in building a world of peace.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, we live in the age of a great providential revolution.</p>
|
||||
<p>All nations and religions must now transcend past ways of living, and understand that, for very practical reasons, it is necessary to live in exact accordance with a new understanding of God’s providence. This applies not only in the earthly world but also in the world after death, the spirit world, where we all must go and live when we have shed our physical bodies.</p>
|
||||
<p>The number of new Ambassadors for Peace that I have appointed throughout the world now reaches into the tens of thousands. The newly appointed Ambassadors for Peace sometimes ask, “How should we conduct our lives?”</p>
|
||||
<p>According to an established formula, they must complete the course that the unification movement has traveled in the course of its history. They should clearly understand the reality of the spirit world and its direct link to the earthly world. Awareness of this spiritual reality naturally forms the core and guiding content for their lives. They should have conviction to live in accordance with this awareness and become one with the spirit world. They must develop confidence that this is the context in which they now live.</p>
|
||||
<p>Over the decades, the contents of my sermons have not changed. When someone lives for the accomplishment of God’s will for the new world, these teachings form the basic standard to determine if a person becomes a principal actor in the effort to bring about the ideal Kingdom of Heaven. So we must now live according to this basic rule. If our lives have been based on vague concepts, then we must now lead lives based on awareness of this reality that brings us into oneness with heaven, including both the spirit world and physical world. We should unify the spiritual and physical realms within our own lives and expand this to the national realm. This is the only way to bring about the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must understand that the position of the owner of Cheon Il Guk, the Kingdom of Heaven, is someone who establishes a new standard that enables the peoples of nations around the world to transcend their current ways of thinking that have been based on traditional philosophies and concepts. The owner of Cheon Il Guk progresses to a new, higher dimension.</p>
|
||||
<p>I was twenty-five when I founded the unification movement, and I hope you understand that I founded this association based on the essential points of God’s principle. The people who joined this movement at that time lived together with the True Parents and helped usher in a new world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Due to the fall, humanity completely lost the world God originally created, and even lost God Himself. So in pursuing the providence of re-creation, I was responsible for bringing about the world God created but lost at the time of the fall. That is, I was responsible to create again the position that Adam would have occupied had he not fallen. Please understand, the God of grief must be liberated to become the God of happiness.</p>
|
||||
<p>On the foundation of the Unification Church, I established the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, and, later, offered God the “Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship” and “The Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families for the True Love, Peace, and Unity of the True Parents of Heaven and Earth.” Since the fall, God has been unable to involve Himself in the created world, and yet now He can restore all things through indemnity, and can perfect this world through the True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>We need to understand that God is neither the owner of re-creation nor the owner who pays indemnity for Adam’s fall. These are actually Adam’s responsibilities. So everything must be placed in its proper order within the time frame of Adam’s generation. Otherwise, there will be no way to allow God to stand in His original position. For this reason, though He is omniscient and omnipotent, God has worked hard through the long course of history from the position of a God without true sovereignty over the creation. We need to know this mortifying fact.</p>
|
||||
<p>I hope you each come to realize that your own spiritual development occurs only when God’s Kingdom and the realm of daily life expand through the eras of the individual, family, tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos. In this way, you will become people capable of traveling freely between the heavenly and earthly worlds. You will be able to attend God Himself. The mission of the perfected Adam will not be completed until God’s Kingdom, starting with His palace, is created and dedicated to Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>The saints and sages now in the heavenly world are not living in glory.</p>
|
||||
<p>But with that goal in mind, they have worked continuously in order to achieve perfection. We need to understand that they will continue their efforts until they achieve the true love ideal, that is, the unified realm of the liberated earthly and heavenly worlds.</p>
|
||||
<p>You need to know that, if you are unable to complete this mission while on earth, you will find that when you arrive in the world after death, you will need to go through a long training process to overcome challenges, and to restore the limited realm that you left uncompleted.</p>
|
||||
<p>We must understand that the time we have on earth offers an opportunity more precious than anything else under heaven, for we have the opportunity during our earthly lives to perfect our love. It is urgent that we understand that the work we do now is for the sake of inheriting a path that is more precious than our own nation, more precious than the world we now live in, and more precious than our own love or life. The lives we lead from here on have indescribable value.</p>
|
||||
<p>It is important to understand that it is not God’s responsibility to bring about God’s liberation. It is our responsibility. If this were God’s responsibility, He would not have allowed Adam and Eve to commit the fall. The staggering fact is that responsibility for the fall lies with the family of Adam. Not a single person has fully understood this point during human history up to this point. The owner of re-creation does not refer to God but to your families. This is the reason our families are so important. The foundation of Cheon Il Guk, which is the world of God’s original ideal, is the family.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please understand that when I founded this movement at the age of twenty-five, I did so with full knowledge of all these facts. Then, as now, we need to make a new starting point from this original Adamic position.</p>
|
||||
<p>Respected guests, do you know the main point of the speech I delivered at the ceremony marking the founding of the “Family Party”, an educational movement to promote good governance? It concerned the registration of marriages and births. Here I refer not to the registration of my marriage, but the registration of God’s marriage and God’s birth. God never had a marriage ceremony. He never had a ceremony marking His marriage. God, as the owner of the creation of the cosmos, was never able to report His birth, or marriage. Why? It was because of the human fall.</p>
|
||||
<p>Had there been no fall, God’s own love would have blossomed at the time of Adam and Eve’s blessed marriage. Due to the fall, that dimension of God’s love was unfulfilled.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the reason that the True Parents must liberate God on the foundation of having offered to God the “Coronation Ceremony of God’s Kingship.” God originally stood in an autonomous position and could do as He pleased with every object in the creation of the heavens and the earth, from the smallest to the largest. However, because of the fall, He could not make a start as the owner of Cheon Il Guk. He could not assert Himself freely. We must understand this mortifying fact.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because it was the family of Adam and Eve that ruined the realm of creation and freedom that was originally God’s, the perfected family of Adam and Eve has to make this universe anew. So if, from this moment, you make determination with a deep conviction to renew your family in accordance with the direction of God’s will, then all will go well for you.</p>
|
||||
<p>Why do we need religion? Please be aware that religion is needed because of the fall. However, religions are being set aside today. Rev. Moon and Mrs. Moon, the True Parents, are remaking with their own hands everything new under heaven. They have even built God’s original palace, where He can be completely liberated, enter the realm of Kingship, and be restored to the rightful realm as the Owner of the Heavenly Kingdom.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you understand this content, you should mark this day as a new beginning and become sons and daughters of God with strong conviction to fulfill your responsibilities with confidence.</p>
|
||||
<p>All that would remain then would be to have a family centered on God. You also should make a determination to stand with the political party that is on heaven’s side and set straight the countries that until now have been associated with political parties of Satan’s side that have caused heaven to suffer by persecuting religions.</p>
|
||||
<p>You must become owners who build the original homelands and fatherlands where you would like to live. You must become people who give true love to all of nature. All things, even plants and animals, must be re-created. Because of the fall, they lost being in the reciprocal realm of true love. The realm of true love only existed until Adam and Eve reached age sixteen, their age at the time of the fall. After their fall, this realm was divided. We must now take responsibility as though it was our mistake, committed by our own hands, that ruined the entire world.</p>
|
||||
<p>The blessed family that makes the determination to take responsibility to accomplish restoration will be the owner of Cheon Il Guk.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please realize that all humanity today stands in the position of having been born simultaneously into the realms of hell and heaven. But these two realms of good and evil are now like brothers in one family.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, you need to develop a heart that is able to embrace a family where an older and younger brother are loved equally by their parents, and feel a love that, based on your own experience, deeply understands and sympathizes with this family’s situation. Otherwise, when you go to spirit world, you will not be able to live in a family qualified for the royal palace. Instead, you will wander continuously around that vicinity for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.</p>
|
||||
<p>As ancestors to coming generations, you must dedicate all your sincerity and dedication to the task of passing on a lineage of chastity and fidelity, a pure blood, and a pure love. You have a responsibility to your family that you must fulfill before you die, even if it means that you offer up your life hundreds or thousands of times before you are able to go over that mountain. You must travel this path with a constant spirit of one heart, one body, and one thought.</p>
|
||||
<p>God has had this level of seriousness, and Rev. Moon who founded the Family Federation was so serious to establish a clear family tradition of purity and fidelity. So, like it or not, you must also do your best and run down this path with all your strength in order to achieve the goal.</p>
|
||||
<p>A new age of heavenly understanding is coming. The age has arrived when the nations can be established based on blessed families, that is, families that have received God’s direct blessing. So you need to set everything right and be on full alert. You must become families that produce heavenly princes and princesses who are fully qualified to attend Heaven’s ideal purpose of creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please understand very clearly that the overall purpose is to inherit this foundation of victory, to live in attendance to God, and return to one nation, one culture, one world, one brotherhood, and one realm that is an expansion of the one family that lives in peace on the earth and in heaven forever and ever.</p>
|
||||
<p>How incredible it is that something such as the Family Party could emerge. Had Jesus completed the providence of restoration through indemnity, then married and formed a family, he could have established at once a foundation of marriage blessings that would have brought the people of Israel into Heaven’s realm. He could have gone on to give the blessing in Rome. Then the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven would have been accomplished by the time he was in his forties.</p>
|
||||
<p>Israel and Palestine are fighting each other today because the mission of Jesus as the True Parent was not accomplished. Brothers fight and are not able to unite, because there are no True Parents. At the time of Jesus, the world should have come to have one religion, one culture, one nation, and one realm of heart. When that did not happen, Islam, Judaism and Christianity separated. You need to know that these developments put God in much grief.</p>
|
||||
<p>Currently in America, there is a movement to remove crosses from churches and this is just starting. Jesus came as the True Parent of humanity, to establish God’s blood lineage on earth; but he was killed before he could do this. The value of the True Parent is more than all humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, this sin cannot be forgiven even if all humankind were destroyed. The suffering of Israel over the past two thousand years, however dreadful and appalling, could not pay the price of forgiveness for the death of Jesus. It could not be forgiven even if the suffering were tens of times greater. There is actually no way for Israel or any nation to pay for the sin of killing the True Parent. Because humanity was still under the burden of the sin of killing the True Parent, God could not intervene even when Hitler committed genocide against the Jewish people. We must all learn a lesson of how valuable True Parents are, because we are in a similar period of history today.</p>
|
||||
<p>We have arrived at a time when Judaism, Islam, and Christianity must overcome their historical divisions and unite around the world centering on Unification principles. Restoration through indemnity reaches completion through parallel historical periods. This age is parallel to the age of Jesus, although not on the worldwide level but on the cosmic level.</p>
|
||||
<p>For this reason, the returning Lord must be the Messiah and Savior. The Savior must turn this world into a Kingdom of Heaven of peace, and in that world there can be no discord among the religions. Also, the meaning of “returning Lord” is that this is the Lord who has come again. This is because the position of the Lord, as True Parent, was not realized when he came the first time. The Lord, having come again, must become the True Parent and bring about the liberated realm in the earthly and heavenly worlds. Humanity did not understand this historical fact, which is interwoven in the history of the providence.</p>
|
||||
<p>Now that you know this, you also should be able to climb over this mountain to go before God’s holy presence and enter the liberated ideal realm. You need to know that it is still your destiny to gain respect and praise from the highest beings of the heavenly kingdom, to register yourselves in Cheon Il Guk, which is the new global nation, and to enter that nation as new citizens. If you die and go to the spirit world without accomplishing this mission, you will be held back.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the reason that you need to sincerely dedicate yourselves to accomplishing all your tasks while you are alive. No one can take responsibility for your life or providential history if you commit an error on the path. It is so difficult. It is not enough even if you burn your five senses, or ten senses (including your spiritual senses), hundreds or thousands of times over. Can God be responsible for this? No, He cannot. As I said earlier, if He could take responsibility, He would never have allowed Adam and Even to commit the fall in the first place.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who is the owner of re-creation? It is not God. It is you and your families. That is the reason we say in the “Family Pledge” to God each morning, “As the owner of Cheon Il Guk, our family….” From the minutest animal created by God to the heavenly world and the whole universe that is more than a hundred billion times larger than the solar system, everything is arranged in a pair system. This is the orderly existence of all things within God’s realm of love.</p>
|
||||
<p>Satan divided all this by defiling the blood lineage. So the True Parents need to relate to all things again and recreate them. You also are responsible to resolve God’s grief by loving the plants, the animals, and the land with God’s true love, and to resolve the grief of humanity’s failure to become true owners. That is the reason that a new view of life, a new view of the universe, and a new view of the cosmos are established.</p>
|
||||
<p>Originally, there would have been no need for a Family Party. What was needed was a family that lived in attendance to God as the Parent.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because such a family was not established, however, it must be accomplished now, no matter what may happen during the course of indemnity. The Family Party was established to educate all people about the purpose of carrying out this task.</p>
|
||||
<p>You must go forward with the self-realization that yours is a family of princes among princes, princesses among princesses, and filial children, patriots, saints and sons and daughters of God. We are pioneering the path that God would like to travel. However, we travel in His place as offerings.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even if you are able to receive God’s love and remain in the realm of His heart for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, you will shed tears of shame when you face the God who has suffered unimaginable grief throughout the ages. Even if you shed your blood and sweat for God so that your entire being is on fire, you will still feel that you are so inadequate. This is the path that our families must go in order to free ourselves of the mistake of having failed to accomplish our responsibility as princes and princesses seeking after Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Fallen human beings destroyed the heavenly kingdom, even the heavenly palace. So we should determine to recreate everything for God. On that foundation, our families will create filial children, patriots, saints, and sons and daughters of God, to an extent a thousand, or even tens of thousands of times greater than would have been achieved if the fall had never occurred. If we recreate everything, then how can hell exist? The recreated world will be the core of the royal palace of the heavenly kingdom, and God will be able to dwell anywhere on earth in the same way as when He is in His palace.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have traveled a suffering course in the process of founding and leading the Unification movement, but none of these experiences until now really feel like suffering to me. I can feel this way, because I have arrived at a place in my heart that enables me to profoundly comprehend, through my own experience, God’s deep, wide, and exalted blessing, and be grateful for this. Those who have not experienced such a position will not understand.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even though God is the Creator and is almighty, He feels He has nothing to be proud of when He sees what I have accomplished. By Himself, He could not be liberated from His irreconcilable grief, nor begin the process of truly loving humankind as His children. God’s position needs to be recovered. That is, He needs to regain the position of True Parent so He can give and receive love with His children. Because the children committed the fall and these things did not come about, humanity was forced to go through a history of grief. Without the registration of God’s marriage and God’s birth, the nation cannot exist.</p>
|
||||
<p>The life of the True Parents has also been a course of grief. The historical nature of True Parents’ work has divine value. There will be wailing and lamentation day after day when the world comes to fully understand the content of True Parents’ lives. People will wail the same way the people of Israel repent in tears at the Wailing Wall. We must go this way to establish the realm of liberation from grief.</p>
|
||||
<p>We finally have entered an age when God can liberate all of heaven and earth through His marriage. Because God has registered His marriage, we, as His sons and daughters, can register our births. Because God can go beyond the realm of the three generations of God’s Covenant, He is able to return to His original position.</p>
|
||||
<p>On the basis of the realm of the victory of the True Parents, who are the Parents of Heaven and Earth, you can now completely inherit the authority to register marriages and births. I hope that you will have faith that when you make your determination to live in this way, and become citizens of Cheon Il Guk, living with one heart, one body, one thought, and one harmony, then you will unmistakably become members of the royal family.</p>
|
||||
<p>We have here at the Little Angels Performing Arts Center tonight leaders who signed the Jerusalem Declaration, the Washington Declaration, and, now, the Seoul Peace Declaration, representing the unity of the eras of the first, second and third Israel. Participants in the Seoul Peace Declaration include youth leaders of the second generation who participated in the International Youth Leaders Conference held at Sun Moon University, and world leaders who have attended the IIFWP Summit of World Leaders. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all of you.</p>
|
||||
<p>You are leaders of the first and second generations who can inherit the realm of Heaven’s chosen people. I earnestly ask that you remember that you stand here today at the site of the Seoul Declaration to become one with each other in mind and body, and answer the historic call to renew the United Nations and so recreate a new United Nations that expresses God’s original ideal.</p>
|
||||
<p>I offer gratitude to God for all these things, and pray that God’s abundant blessings will be with each of you, your families, and your countries.</p>
|
||||
<p>Thank you.</p>

|
||||
Mongolian People’s Federation for World Peace</h3>
|
||||
<h3 style="text-align: center;">April 10, 2006<br />
|
||||
Seoul, Korea</h3>
|
||||
<p>Leaders from all over the world who are working hard for the development of the Mongolian People’s Federation and the Universal Peace Federation, which was launched as the Abel UN!</p>
|
||||
<p>Hand in hand with the heavenly fortune, a new spring has finally come to my fatherland, on the Korean Peninsula. I welcome you all personally and on behalf of the members of my family to this meaningful event, which you are attending despite your busy schedules. I hope you will fill your hearts with the new spring of heavenly fortune and take it back with you to your nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>Distinguished world leaders:</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the third holding of the Mongolian People’s Federation Assembly. After inaugurating the Universal Peace Federation in New York, on September 12, 2005, I went on to complete a global tour of 120 nations in order to pass on my inaugural message. The message expressed that the Universal Peace Federation, in the position of the Abel UN, should be developed as a new international peace organization and that at the same time the United Nations, as a Cain-type institution, should be reformed by having a Peace Council — a legislative organization consisting of global religious leaders of the same rank as members of the current UN Security Council — established within it. I am referring to the founding of a Peace Council that will speak not for the interests of a particular nation, as the existing UN representatives do, but which will truly work for the welfare and peace of humanity from an interreligious and universal perspective.</p>
|
||||
<p>The concept of the Universal Peace Federation, which was launched with such a grand purpose and objective, could not have emerged from any human brain. It is the greatest, the utmost blessing given by Heaven to humanity and is ushering in the new millennium. It is my hope that the Mongolian People’s Federation too will fulfill its duty as a partner of the Universal Peace Federation in achieving its noble goals.</p>
|
||||
<p>Toward that end, I would like to pass on to you today a revelation from God that is absolutely essential to all 6.5 billion people comprising humanity. I hope you will all be wise enough leaders to open your minds and listen to the voice of Heaven. I will impart to you this extensive message of Heaven under the title “<em>The True Owners in Establishing the Kingdom of Cosmic Peace and Unity</em>.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Leaders of the world! God, the Creator of all things under the sun, is the true parent of all humanity. He is not a parent in the parochial sense, existing only for a certain religion, a certain race, or the residents of a certain region. You may call Him by any name, be it Jehovah, Allah, or any other. What is important is that He positively exists, lives as the true parent of all people, and is carrying on the great work of creation. In accordance with the principles and the laws of nature that He set up at the beginning of time, He governs everything in the universe, and He has carried out His providence through history.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Actually Existing Spiritual World</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: The human mind is more elevated than the human body and the spirit is more elevated than the mind. In a place more elevated than the spirit world, to which our spirits are destined to pass on, resides God. Therefore, only when we have become completely one with God in true love are we complete. From this perspective, a perfected person might be a small individual but would represent all of history and all potential future relationships and so could be said to possess infinite value. Once we became aware of this cosmic value, we would realize that our lives should be led by and in service to our minds.</p>
|
||||
<p>That is why your conscience knows and remembers not only every action you have performed but also every thought you have entertained. Your conscience is aware of these things before your own teachers, parents or even God is. Hence, if you were to live in absolute obedience to the commands of your conscience, which is your teacher for eternity, you would be absolutely guaranteed to have eternal life. Such is the way of God’s creation.</p>
|
||||
<p>When viewing the structure of a human being from a different angle, we can perceive that God created us as dualistic entities. He created our physical bodies as miniatures of the corporeal, tangible world and our spiritual bodies as representatives of and lords of the incorporeal world. Accordingly, a human being is intended to live for a hundred years or so in the physical world and once the physical body ceases functioning to pass on naturally and automatically into the incorporeal, spiritual world. In this way, though it cannot be perceived by the eyes in our physical bodies, the spiritual world is the automatic and inevitable extension of our lives on earth, humankind’s eternal, original homeland, created by God.</p>
|
||||
<p>As you can see, the spiritual world does actually exist. It is not a world that has been fantasized or imagined into existence. We do not have the right of choice concerning it. It is not a world we can go to if we please or refuse to go to if we would rather not. Just as God is eternal and unchanging, the spiritual world created by Him is also eternal and unchanging. In like manner to our living in the physical world in our physical bodies and forming all sorts of relationships with the existing world, even in the spiritual world we are destined to go on living in our spiritual bodies, and to form and maintain close relationships with all phenomena of the spiritual world.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Relationship between the Spirit and Physical Body</h3>
|
||||
<p>However, in the relationship between the spirit and the physical body of a human being, the spirit is the more important of the two. The physical body lasts for about a hundred years before it stops functioning, but the spirit lasts eternally, transcending time and space. No matter how well a person dresses and fares in the physical world, he is bound to die. Therefore, before you pass on to the next world, you should achieve unity between your physical and spiritual bodies by living your earthly life in such a way that you meet the standards of both the physical and spiritual worlds.</p>
|
||||
<p>In other words, you have the responsibility of perfecting your spiritual selves within your physical bodies based on the finite life you live in the tangible, physical world. This does not mean, however, that the perfection of a spiritual self happens automatically. Only on the basis of your having achieved complete unity between your mind and body during your earthly life by expressing true love through actions can your spiritual self fully mature.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: In order for fruit to ripen and be put into storage in autumn, it must first pass through the process of spring and summer and be provided with the nutrients supplied by nature and the tender loving care of its owner. Fruit raised in an orchard by a lazy and ignorant owner will be afflicted with all kinds of diseases and be affected by foul weather. Eventually it will fall from the tree before it is ripe or be classified as worm-infested. Though it would be fruit, it would be different from other fruit since it would never be good enough to sell in the market.</p>
|
||||
<p>Fruit that has fully matured on the tree will automatically go into the owner’s storehouse. Similarly, only when the spirit of a person has reached perfection in his life in the physical world, which can be likened to the tree, can it automatically enter the incorporeal spiritual world of the kingdom of heaven. In other words, a person will enter the kingdom of God in heaven automatically only when he has qualified for and enjoyed the kingdom of heaven on earth by living a fully matured life in his physical body.</p>
|
||||
<p>While living on earth, your every action and movement is recorded on your spirit self, without exception and with the public laws of heaven as the standard. Accordingly, you will enter the spiritual world in the form of your spirit self, on which are recorded your lives on earth with 100 percent accuracy. Your spirit will show plainly whether you have led a ripe life of goodness, or a wormy, rotten life of sinfulness. What this means is that God will not judge you; you will be your own judge. If a person has been made aware of this astonishing and terrible rule from Heaven, would the end of that person’s life on earth be spent in selfishness and immorality, as a descent into all the temptations of Satan and in pursuit of nothing but pleasure? You should abstain from injuring and scarring your spiritual bodies at the risk of your earthly lives. Please bear this truth in mind: Whether you are bound for heaven or for hell is determined by your thoughts, speech and behavior in each moment.</p>
|
||||
<p>This does not imply, though, that the spirit leads its own life or that it can express true love thorough actions on its own. Your spirit self grows, matures and finally becomes perfected only within your physical body, through an earthly lifetime of having actualized true love with your mind and body in a smooth relationship of give and take.</p>
|
||||
<p>Nevertheless, undeniably, your outer selves and inner selves are in a constant relationship of conflict and struggle. How much longer will you allow this fighting to continue? Ten years? A hundred years? In contrast, there is undeniably order for all forms of existence in the universe. This indicates that God did not create us human beings in this state of conflicted disorder. You need to know that it is your duty and responsibility as a human being to dispel all temptations directed at your outer self — your physical body — and achieve victory in life by following the way of your inner self — your conscience. Heavenly fortune will be with those who lead their lives in such a way, and they will attain the perfection of their spiritual selves.</p>

<h3>Bounds of Heaven and Hell</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: What kind of places are heaven and hell? What kind of people enter heaven? If it really does exist, where would it be? Would it be outside the galaxy, on the other side of the skies? Or is it only a product of our imagination? These are questions that everyone will have pondered and asked at least once.</p>
|
||||
<p>In brief, heaven is a world overflowing with God’s true love and established with true love at its axis. It is a world where true love is the external form as well as the internal content of every environment. It is a world where true love is consistent at the beginning and end of life. It is a world full of people who were all born through true love, who live in true love, who live in the embrace of true love and follow the track of true love, and who finally pass on into the next world, the spiritual world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Consequently, antagonism and jealousy cannot be found in that world, for it is a natural world where each lives for the sake of the other. It is not a world governed by money, honor or power. It is a world wherein the success of a person represents the success of the whole, the likes of a person represents the likes of the whole, and the joy of a person represents the joy of the whole.</p>
|
||||
<p>Heaven is a world filled with the air of true love, where all breathe true love. It is a world where life throbs at any place at any time. It is a world whose constituent members are all connected to the true God through blood ties. It is a place where the whole world is linked together in an inseparable relationship, like the cells in our bodies. It is a world that is governed only by true love, the love that is God’s essence. Accordingly, God also exists for true love.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Life of True Love</h3>
|
||||
<p>You should lead a life that is completely devoted to true love. Your life should be one in which you love God more than did Adam, Eve or Jesus. Through thoroughly actualizing true love, you should perfectly unite your mind and body and find and establish the realm of the relationships of true love. To put it another way, you should perfect a true family on earth, and at least the three generations of true parents, true brothers and sisters and children should live together in true love, because only then will you be eligible to enter heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>What love is true love? The essence of true love is not having others serve one but giving and serving for the sake of others. It is a love that gives and forgets that it has given and that continues to give endlessly. It is a love that gives with pleasure. It is the heart of pleasure. It is the love of a mother holding her baby to her bosom and breastfeeding it. It is love expressed through sacrifice as when, with pleasure, a child acts with filial piety toward his or her parents. It is a love just like that God expressed when creating humankind, an act requiring absolute, unique, unchanging and eternal love that gives without any conditions or expectations of receiving anything in return.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: True love brings about the incorporeal order, peace and happiness that serve the common good. True love is love that determines the source, center and owner of the universe. True love is the root, and the symbol of the will and power of God. Therefore, when bound in true love, it is enough to be together eternally; for it is love that can attract not only the universe but even God. The value of true love lies in its power, which is strong enough to eradicate the walls of national boundaries, races, and furthermore, of religion, created by fallen human descendents. That is why the absolute condition necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven is a life that has been lived for the sake of others, that is, a life of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yet look at the world we are currently living in. The people of the world are caught in the trap of extreme selfishness, clamoring for material omnipotence. They have lost all sense of values and have fallen into the depths of self-gratification and degeneration. The world is filled with alcoholics. As if drugs and free sex were not enough, there are even those who commit incest — an act not even seen in the animal world — and still live with their heads held high. This world has become one wherein beasts with human faces roam freely even after violating women — queens, grandmothers, mothers, wives and daughters. This world has become one wherein the swapping of spouses between couples is rampant. Such circumstances are without a doubt the pinnacle of the destruction of morality and the very last of fallen acts. This world has become hell on earth, where the perfection of the world embodying the ideal God envisaged at the Creation cannot even be dreamed of.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Results of the Fall</h3>
|
||||
<p>We have come to know that all these problems are rooted in the Fall of Adam and Eve, our first ancestors. Adam and Eve, who were at the perfection stage of the growth period, had a sexual relationship before their rightful time, due to the temptation of Satan. In this manner, an illicit sexual union of man and woman constituted the Fall. This is why people have continued to commit such indecent acts — traitorous acts that drive a sharp spike into the heart of God — over thousands of years. They have been unable to escape from the realm of the fallen lineage.</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: A man or woman alone can only be one-half of the whole. That is how God created us. For that reason, He has interchanged the owners of the reproductive organs, the love organs. The owner of the wife’s reproductive organ is the husband, and the owner of the husband’s is the wife. Only when each is rooted in true love for the sake of the other are they in the position of the owner of their spouse. In other words, irrespective of who they are, all human beings can become perfected individuals — and not just mere halves — only when they have secured the position of an owner through marriage.</p>
|
||||
<p>The human sexual organs are sacred. They are the palace of life, where the seed of life is sown, the palace of love, where the flower of love is made to bloom and the palace of lineage, where the fruit of lineage is borne. Through this absolute sexual organ, the absolute lineage, absolute love and absolute life is brought forth; and absolute harmony, absolute unity, absolute liberation and absolute Sabbath brought about.</p>
|
||||
<p>For what reason, then, are we trying to restore the position of the owner of the reproductive organs? It is to possess God’s love from that position. He is the subject of three great loves. As the owner of the universe, He is the true teacher, true owner, and true loving parent. These are the true three great subject ideologies. All these teachings and truths are created through the life of a true, model family; and with its expansion, the society, nation, the world and even the universe will be transformed into the peace kingdom of the model, ideal family.</p>
|
||||
<p>However, because of the Fall, the first Adam lost the original, true lineage and consequently failed to form the original couple and the original family. Adam, who should have become the true teacher, the true parent and the true king, inherited the lineage of Satan and was degraded to a false teacher, false parent and false king.</p>
|
||||
<p>When we come to think of it, the purpose for Jesus’ coming down to earth did not lie elsewhere. If Jesus, who had come as the second Adam, had not lost his life on the cross, he would have been of the original lineage of God, unrelated to the Fall, and would have reversed the failure of the first Adam, established the true family as the Savior of humankind and founded on earth the original human homeland, the kingdom of the world embodying the ideal of peace, that is, the kingdom of heaven on earth. However, the disciples, the Jewish leaders and the leaders of the nation of Israel all failed to recognize the Christ, and their disbelief caused Jesus to end his life in such a wretched and tragic way. Has there been anyone who knew of the grievous heart of Jesus, who had to leave earth at an untimely moment, leaving no child behind him? Though two thousand years of Christianity history have passed, has there ever been any Christian who stopped to imagine Jesus’ sorrowful circumstances? Jesus left suddenly, leaving behind him few traces other than a promise to return, and though his physical body has long been buried and become dust, the will that God had tried to fulfill through him is finally in the process of being completed at this time, at the end of history, through True Parents, who have received the seal of Heaven and been manifested on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>However, the life of Rev. Moon, whose task it is to complete the mission of True Parents, has been one of sorrow, marked by inexpressible suffering and persecution. The third Adam, the True Parent, needs to restore through indemnity and completely reverse all the failures of the first and second Adams. It is True Parents’ mission not only to complete the mission of the Savior, Messiah, and Lord at his second coming, but also the mission of all those major figures on whom religions are based. With similarities to God’s creation of the universe, his life has constituted the great work of the re-creation of humanity, where not even the smallest error is permitted. It has been a lonely course that cannot be discussed with anyone. It has been a course that took him down thorny paths through the wilderness — paths that he had to follow while utterly alone. Not even God could acknowledge him. Hovering many a time between life and death and vomiting blood, he has still had to rise again like a phoenix to remain true to his promise to God. Rev. Moon has had to endure imprisonment six times, though he was innocent: for working in the underground independence movement when he was studying in Japan in his early days; for propagating the will of God in Pyongyang, which was under communist rule immediately after Korea’s colonial independence; during the Syngman Rhee administration, after Korea had been reborn as a free nation; and, furthermore, even in the United States, which proudly presents itself to the world as a model of democracy. Who on earth can understand the eventful life of Rev. Moon? His has been a life of misery, which he has endured by biting his tongue, for the sake of our God who deserves pity, and for the salvation of fallen people of the world who are suffering in the realm of death. Even now, if one person were to look into my heart and speak a word of sympathy, my tears would become an explosive waterfall.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Heaven Begins from the Family</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: The sinful era of restoration through indemnity, the era before the coming of heaven, has passed and the era of the constitutional government, ruled by heavenly law, that is, the time after the coming of heaven, is upon us. You are now living in an era of grace in which, after receiving the marriage blessing from True Parents, completing the conversion of lineage, and leading a life of the settlement of noon, a life without shadows, you can automatically enter the kingdom of heaven. That is to say, if you establish a true family on earth and lead a heavenly life, once you die your life will be connected to the kingdom of heaven in heaven just as you are, and you will enjoy eternal life.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, in the framework of the family, you should serve God as the Father in the topmost position. Every one of you should become His children, entering into a parent-child relationship with Him and perfecting yourselves through living together, closely linked in blood ties. In short, you should form and live in the realm of a true love relationship with God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who would be the greatest grandfather of the universe? The first human ancestors, Adam and Eve, call God ‘Father’. Should their children call Him ‘Grandfather’? They too should call Him ‘Father’. Why is this so? From the viewpoint of God, the vertical center, all object partners of love are equal. His object partners, which are produced through the horizontal expansion and multiplication of His love, assume equal value regardless of who they are, transcending time and space. Simply put, everyone has equal value in perfected love.</p>
|
||||
<p>The kingdom of heaven must first be achieved on earth. What this means is that the kingdom of heaven being established in the corporeal world is prerequisite to establishing the kingdom of heaven in the incorporeal world. Therefore, heaven is not a world found in space on the other side of the galaxy, nor is it the by-product of imagination existing only in the human brain. It refers to the substantial kingdom of heaven on earth, which can only be created when you have led lives expressive of true love. When you leave the physical world on that foundation, you automatically enter the incorporeal kingdom of heaven in heaven. This means that only when you have led a heavenly life on earth, can you lead such a life also in heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only the fruit that has fully ripened on the tree is classified while in storage as a product of the best quality. Herein lies the reason why your lives should not be ones bound for hell, devoured by insects on the tree. You should never forget that you yourselves determine whether you go to heaven or to hell through your life on earth.</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Value of Family</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: The reason we miss the family we have left behind is that at home there is love for one another. It is where the love of mother and father, the love of elder brothers and sisters and younger siblings, and the love of one’s spouse and children and close neighbors are all deeply embedded. It is a place of mutual affection, where all relationships and affinities are brought together through mutual love. This makes you want to cherish each and every member of your family. It would be the yearning and desire of a wanderer who has left his family behind him to appear before his family once again boldly as a liberated being, and to embrace mountains, streams and trees, love his kith and kin, and sing songs of ecstasy. However, the lot of humankind, descended from the Fall, has been different: banished from their hometown and destined to wander around forever in isolation and defeat, human beings are unable ever to go back, no matter how much they miss their family, for they have lost the root of the heart of their original homeland.</p>
|
||||
<p>However, with the ushering in of the era of a new heaven and a new earth after the coming of heaven, human beings have been pulled out of the marsh that was sucking them down, and the way has been opened for them to return to their hometowns — hometowns that they could not forget even for a moment — and meet with their family. Could there ever be a day of greater blessing for humanity? The time of heavenly power and fortune has now come for us to reestablish the original family that was lost through the Fall of Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<h3>A Family of Three Generations Living in Harmony</h3>
|
||||
<p>When seeking after the lost original family, you should set out from the position of the perfection of Adam, the position of the perfected Jesus, and the perfected position representing the Second Coming of the Lord. God will dwell in such a family. That family would be one of three generations — grandparents, parents and children — living in harmony. You need to live in service and attendance of the grandfather as the historical root of your ancestors.</p>
|
||||
<p>The family sets the pattern for living together in harmony. The home wherein parents and children love and respect each other, husband and wife are grounded in mutual trust and love, and brothers and sisters trust and rely on each other, and all live together as one, is the model ideal family. This means that you need to establish a true family wherein the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love and bears the fruit of true love.</p>
|
||||
<p>In such a family, the root of history is alive, and the root of the kingdom of heaven extends into it. It is in such a family that the kingdom of heaven on earth takes root. It is also where the everlasting root of kingship is firmly planted. The roots of the past, present and future are represented by the grandparents, parents, and grandsons and granddaughters respectively. The root of the past represents the spirit world, the root of present is the palace representing the world today, and the root of future establishes the grandsons and granddaughters as princes and princesses, and erects the palace of peace representing the two worlds, the spirit world and the physical world.</p>
|
||||
<p>In such a manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and grandsons and granddaughters should live together as one family, serving the eternally existent God. You should know that to seek after and establish such a family of Cheon Il Guk, God’s kingdom, is the responsibility of tribal messiahs, the mission of the peace ambassadors, and the desire of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>The movement to realize a society of mutual existence, prosperity, and benefit, by making humanity one great family, breaking down the walls in our hearts and eliminating even the boundaries between nations, begins thus from one family. Therefore, we should bear in mind that to form and establish true families is our providential calling, advancing the establishment of the cosmic peace kingdom on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>You should form families that God will miss and yearn to return to after He has been away. You should raise families to which He can come freely as a Parent visiting His children. That is living in the service of God. To such a family, God becomes the Subject of our conscience, acting vertically. Following that vertical Subject, your mind stands in the position of the vertical subject of yourself, and brings your mind and body into unity. That is where parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and siblings’ love — in short, the four realms of love or the four realms of heart — are perfected. Only in such a family can the upper and lower, front and behind, left and right be connected as one and circular motion continue.</p>
|
||||
<p>If the world were filled with such true families, that world would be one governed by the heavenly way and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors or even judges. Ponder this for a moment. Who would be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your grandparents, your parents, your spouse and your children.</p>
|
||||
<p>Is there anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and children, husband and wife, and elder siblings and younger siblings set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they do anything unforgivable? What chance would they have to commit crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and the heavenly laws is a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason, and a world of the settlement of noon, where no shadows are cast.</p>
|
||||
<p>Esteemed representatives of the Mongolian People’s Federation: We should all return gratitude and glory to God and True Parents for enlightening us about the incredible providential age in which we are living. We should give praise and thanks for eternity to True Parents for opening the time after the coming of heaven, which is unprecedented in history and which will never be repeated in the future, and for bringing about the era of the settlement of the realm of true liberation and complete freedom. Just as the sun rises with brilliant light in the eastern sky, heavenly fortune is now shining upon all people. The curtain of darkness that shrouded us for thousands and tens of thousands of years is lifting at last. as Heaven’s will is taking root in your hearts. This is a path of destiny you cannot avoid. Therefore stand up with courage and shout out, “Whoever wants to die will live, and whoever wants to live will die!”</p>
|
||||
<p>Ladies and gentlemen: The mission of the Mongolian People’s Federation has now become clear. Serving the Universal Peace Federation as the vertical Abel, and the religious realm and national realm of the world as the horizontal Abel, it should be in the position of Cain and work as the central figure in establishing the global kingdom of the peace ideal. I hope you also will participate actively in the Bering Strait Tunnel Project, currently being promoted as a Universal Peace Federation construction project. Through the completion of this project, humanity will become one great family and the establishment of a war-free world of the peace ideal, espousing the blessings of eternal peace will come to be.</p>
|
||||
<p>Please become true princes and princesses who can attend and live together with God, the eternal peace king, as the true parent of humanity. Let us restore the Mongolian People’s Federation to the Mongolian Shared Lineage Federation by receiving the marriage blessing of True Parents and perfecting the conversion of our lineage. Please take to heart that this is the task assigned to you by God and become the true owners in establishing the Kingdom of Peace and Unity in Heaven and on Earth.</p>
|
||||
<p>May God’s grace be upon you, your family and your nations. Thank you.</p>

Translation by Rev. Dong Woo Kim<br />
|
||||
Notes by Tyler Hendricks</h3>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> The Life and Love of Jesus Christ [This book in not available in English yet, to my knowledge.]
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> Why did God give Jesus to Satan to crucify? So that Jesus could win the surrender of Satan and win the love of God. He offered his body on behalf of all fallen people. In so doing, Jesus showed true love that is not present in the fallen world; therefore he could overcome Satan. Satanic love is always for the individual’s own purpose.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Jews believed in God and were seeking His nation based on their faith. God sent Jesus to accomplish this expectation. Therefore Jesus said he was king of kings, and the bridegroom of the Jewish people who were to be his bride. This was so that the Jews would create the realm of life, as a couple does through their unity in the family. Therefore Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come down after the crucifixion. The Holy Spirit coming means that parental love will come to the people.</p>
|
||||
<p>‘The way, the truth and the life’ means the way of love, truth of the cross, and the life of all human beings.</p>
|
||||
<p>There was nothing for Satan to accuse in Tamar, therefore Jesus had a different root, a condition to restore elder son ship in the womb. He could proclaim himself as God’s son without any condition for accusation.</p>
|
||||
<p>God created Adam and Eve with soil, so the messiah, the second Adam, should have elements of the soil, like the original Adam and Eve. Therefore, he has to be born as a physical man.</p>
|
||||
<p>Mary had absolute faith to receive Jesus in her womb. Those who believe in God should put their life behind it. Christians should go this way. Christians who do not put their life on the line for God and Jesus cannot open the door to heaven. Believers should practice absolute faith.</p>
|
||||
<p>When Mary received the angel’s revelation, she went to the Zechariah’s house for counsel. Zechariah’s wife, Elizabeth, was pregnant with John the Baptist. When Mary visited their home, Elizabeth testified that Mary was going to give birth to the messiah. This was her testimony to the messiah. Thus, the couples of Zechariah and Mary were central.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus was conceived in Zechariah’s family home. God has to abide by the principle of creation. He had already created the means to become pregnant, by the coming together of man and woman. So, becoming pregnant in Zechariah’s home, who should be the father? Elizabeth was Zechariah’s wife; in that sense, Mary was a prostitute, or, actually, second wife. The messiah should be the child of a second; this is related to the restoration situation. Satan took the elder, so to set His blood lineage God could not start with the elder, but had to go from the bottom to top. So He had to work through the second wife’s body to create His son, Jesus.</p>
|
||||
<p>So Elizabeth, Mary and Zechariah and John the Baptist should have served Jesus. This is why John is called Elijah. Mary was in Rachel’s position and Elizabeth in Leah’s position. In Zechariah’s family, Elizabeth should have restored the failure of Leah to submit to the younger wife. By Elizabeth doing so, Mary could become pregnant. But later, Elizabeth could not ‘receive that situation.’ And the younger brothers and sisters of Jesus had the original sin because they were conceived in the normal way, not the providential way.</p>
|
||||
<p>Jesus asked Mary to help him get married, but Mary could not understand that this was God’s providence. What kind of person can be the center of hope? Jesus said he was the way, truth and life.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> Even so, he couldn’t express or reveal that he was love itself. With life, the truth and the way, Jesus couldn’t complete or perfect love. Perfection comes only by the completion of love. Without man and woman together, one cannot achieve perfection. Jesus could not go that way, but died on the individual path. He had no chance to have the feeling of love. He missed the most important fact, love. He should have expressed, ‘I am the way, truth, life and love.’</p>
|
||||
<p>In the last days, it is the same as in Jesus’ time. The elder and younger should exchange positions. The second messiah should make his way from the bottom to the top, the individual to the cosmos, through indemnity. This is why I have gone the way of total indemnity. So even if the satanic world tries to kill him, he has to go the way of indemnity. As a child you get your parents’ signature to go to heaven, through indemnity. You have to indemnify Adam’s family and all central figures’ families in God’s history.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you understand this, you can understand how difficult it is for True Parents to accomplish the way of indemnity. Historical central figures accomplished it conditionally, but I have to pass through the conditions and accomplish real restoration. Once I do, then Satan cannot help but come and surrender before True Parents. This is the difference between True Parents and all historical central figures. Once I do it, I can deal with all people throughout the spirit world and this world.</p>
|
||||
<p>So you have to go beyond making conditions and establish the substantial foundation to restore your situation. I bequeathed the condition based on my substantial foundation, but you cannot even restore the conditional foundation. I stand on the foundation of the completion of indemnity, and you should be the princes who inherit this victory. As I go the substantial way of indemnity, you should go through the conditional level. If you can’t, I have to gather you in spirit world and educate you again.</p>
|
||||
<p>By establishing the substantial foundation through indemnity, .. Even if you believe in True Parents, you still have to go the way of ‘substantial restoration through indemnity.’ You can get into the conditional heaven, but it is not so easy to get into the substantial heaven. Without believing and serving True Parents as your substantial parents, even if you believe and follow, without achieving the perfection of attendance, you cannot do well in the substantial heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only on that foundation can God bless the descendents of the archangel. What then, should you do? Once you believe and follow me, you cannot become one with True Parents substantially. So you have to go the way of substantial indemnity, by serving and attending True Parents 100%. Therefore Jesus said you have to leave your parents, brothers and sisters, and give all the wealth you have. Otherwise you cannot open the door of heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>You American members, what is your attitude in following me? Never look back on your life. How can you liberate hell? Only focus on your mission, nothing else. Then you can inherit True Parents’ power and open the way to heaven. There is no owner of Korea, Japan or America. Who could be the owner to construct God’s nation? Only True Parents. Therefore, as disciples of True Parents, you have to resemble True Parents. So don’t expect to get salvation just by making a condition. You have to form a substantial foundation to get into heaven, centering on True Parents’ teaching and experience. You should stand on the center to show the bright light to light up the dark area.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is why I proclaimed the Chun Il Guk, the equality of the Chun Il Guk. Everyone has the same value and true equality. Those who achieve absolute faith, love and obedience are able to share true equality based on one mind, one body and one desire, achieving absolute faith, love and obedience. Indemnify the satanic boundary first by a condition, then get into the substantial heaven by going the way of substantial indemnity on this earth. Work the substantial indemnity way like True Parents. ‘Don’t go the general way like other people in America.’ Confront the moment at which you put your life on the line. Passing through that several times, you can practice this substantial condition. In the past, at this kind of moment I was able to proclaim the victories one by one, and we are now confronted with the Chun Il Guk.</p>
|
||||
<p>God’s nation should be based on the Cain and Abel relationship. To form God’s nation, the Israelites were Cain and Jesus was Abel. You are Abel and have to restore your tribe in the Cain position. Once you accomplish this, you will be able to enter the Chun Il Guk. Without establishing the family, tribal and cosmic levels, God cannot dwell in this world as heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>At the last moment of the history of restoration, the substantial way of indemnity should come, and centering on True Parents, all central blessed families should accomplish this way of indemnity. Even if heaven exists, if you cannot form the family and tribal levels of heaven, then heaven cannot connect with your family and tribe. You have to go dual ways, conditional and substantial. Now is the time to go the substantial way. This is the condition to be the owner of the Chun Il Guk. Chun Il Guk citizens should take responsibility for all the reality of the real world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Human beings fell in a certain area, and so the blessed central families should possess a certain area, like the Garden of Eden. Take responsibility for it substantially, not conditionally. So far, following me, you accomplished conditions, but now it has to be substantial, in terms of the Chun Il Guk concept. So you cannot inherit True Parents’ foundation just through a conditional foundation. To inherit True Parents’ victory, you need a substantial foundation. Without restoring your nation, everything is a condition. Centering on the nation, Satan is against God. That’s we have to form the nation as the substantial foundation. Then you will be a substantial citizen.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your family should stand as Jesus’ family and God’s family condition; this is the concept of the Chun Il Guk. So you have to resemble Jesus’ way, as he prayed in Gethsemene for God’s will to be done, not his own. So follow Jesus’ desire, centered on God’s will. In Korea there is an election, and if one candidate just accepted me and put my name on their activities, then immediately God and spirit world would help them. So I don’t want to be there. I want to educate all people in Korea; this is not political influence. In the future, all leaders will come to me and ask for guidance. So that’s why I am publishing a million copies of a Hoon Dok Hae book. Meanwhile, I remain alone, like Jesus and Elijah.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you can establish a strong foundation centering on Hoon Dok Hae, we can reach the national level. In a short time, the nation will come entirely to me. When you are one third of the way up the hill, everyone feels it is difficult, but later Heavenly Father will come down. So we have to fulfill our portion of responsibility. We have to indemnify all three eras, the Old, New and Completed Testament Ages.</p>
|
||||
<p>So, are you ready to leave America, or do you want to live here? While you are working here, you can have your wife and children living in Korea for the tong ban kyok pah activities. There are no more conditions; you have to go the substantial way to inherit True Parents’ total victory and get into heaven. Even theologians cannot discover this internal and hidden situation of Jesus Christ. This is a record from True Parents’ and God’s history, based on the internal, heartistic relationship between God, Jesus and humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am here to restore God’s nation, so I feel it is time to go back to Korea. When that is done, everyone will unite with this. All humankind cannot neglect it, because how else will heaven start? Centering on the unity of mind and body, we can realize true love. No one will oppose this once they understand it. [Archbishop Emmanuel] Milingo should have kept his commitment, no matter what. Do you want salvation through conditional or substantial indemnity? You have to stand on the strong point as a blessed central family, and be able to reveal yourself as one who received God’s blood lineage. God’s blood lineage is not conditional, but substantial. Stand on it as a blessed central family.</p>
|
||||
<p>To marry, the first condition is for the betrothed to believe in and love each other. Then absolute faith, love and obedience will follow. So as a blessed central family, you should accomplish absolute faith, love and obedience. These three elements are the most important points to make you a blessed central family. Then no matter who goes against you, you can keep your blessed central family status and your descendents will inherit the blood lineage of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have set the example. The crucial issues is not how to make the model, but rather how long it will take to complete heaven. Both heaven and hell exist for the blessed central family. The opposite two worlds exist in heaven, so as a blessed central family, don’t believe that you automatically will go to heaven or stay there. Some of you may go to hell in heaven, which is like a prison. Who are the citizens of heaven? Not the conceptual people, but the substantial people.</p>
|
||||
<p>You know the teaching of Divine Principle. How many of you practice it? Unless you practice it, you cannot insist that you must live in heaven in spirit world. If you do, you may end up in the prison of hell in heaven. You must possess the ‘mutual realm of life and justice’ or you cannot represent yourself as a blessed central family. This has to connect with God’s value inside you.</p>
|
||||
<p>Birds that do not have the energy to fly across the ocean will drop into the water and die. You are crossing the ocean and need power centering on True Parents and God, or you will fall into the sea.</p>
|
||||
<p>I could bless saints and criminals based on my substantial conditions. Also on that foundation I could research about Jesus and Mary. How can you discover the destination? You have to find out and go, like an arrow, to your destination. How can we discover the target and then hit it?</p>
|
||||
<p>It is time for all humanity to glorify True Parents. You may have your concept of me based upon 20-30 years following, but history has changed. I am 84, and it is time for me to make the conclusion for God’s will on earth. Should an 84 year old work, fighting on the front line, or not? Everything we do as a blessed central family should be done for God’s nation.</p>
|
||||
<p>How can you read all my books without participating in Hoon Dok Hae? When I have time, I always go fishing. Why? Because when I fish, I forget my age and think of my youth. I think of my mission to accomplish God’s nation. Centering on my hobby, I focus myself.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I came out of Danbury, I wanted to unite 120 countries, but spirit world made me stop, and instead of making that unity, I started to educate ministers and VIPs.</p>
|
||||
<p>Philosophers never understand God’s heart and internal state. It is time for Marxists and Leninists to proclaim that I am the messiah of communists.</p>
|
||||
<p>Whites have no perseverance; they want to go the easy way, and cannot endure. Once I depart to Korea, then America will fall into trouble. We have to set an anchor to hold the six continents. I have done that already, by myself. I have shown the way of the saint and holy son. Satan cannot say anything. God never taught me the way of restoration through indemnity. It is a principle, but whether people go the way of indemnity depends on the individual, not on God. I have set a standard for how to go the indemnity way. Whether you go or not, whether you accomplish your way of indemnity, is up to you. I cannot help you on that point.</p>
|
||||
<p>Do you think God loved me, or did God persecute me more than Satan? Actually, God persecuted me more than Satan did. God cannot place His son higher than Satan places a Mafioso or some such. That is why God had to persecute me. That is why also I persecute you, just as God did me.</p>
|
||||
<p>The world has changed. In the past, nations fought nations, but now individuals can fight nations, by making their body a weapon, or with chemical weapons.</p>
|
||||
<p>Love is prior to belief. Before you believe me, you should love me. Centered on true love, the husband and wife live for each other. This is the original way to practice absolute faith, love and obedience. Without this, man and woman cannot flourish in the family. Do you practice that? Do you live for your spouse? Unless you live for your spouse one hundred per cent, love does not exist. Without love, parents are not parents. It is strange, therefore, for parents to divorce and then fight over the children. They both made the children. Who gave the seed? The children should go to the origin of the seed, the root. Then once a woman lives by herself, all kinds of seeds will be attracted. She is like a boat with no owner. False love is like a hobby love; it is dangerous. Many people love each other as if it were a hobby. Then they divorce. Love is not a hobby, not something you do if you like and stop if you don’t like. With that attitude, true love never comes.</p>

[Father asked Mr. Sato, head of Ocean Church, about today’s weather.] When there is strong wind, it is good fishing. After a hurricane, fish want to eat. So, prepare for fishing. How many boats to do you today? [I can prepare four.] Why only four? [Others are being repaired.] So how many members can you take on four boats? [Including Father’s boat, about 40 members.] If 40 can participate, I think many want to go. Raise your hand if you want to go. Who had a birthday today? None? Within a week before or after? About 7 or 8. How about those born in November 25. Those who were born after October 13. Those who do not want to go fishing, sit down. The rest will go out today, eight per boat.]
|
||||
<p>Let us pray. [Dr. Chang Shik Yang offered a closing prayer.]
|
||||
<p>I have an appointment with True Mother, so I will stay on the ocean until lunch, but you have to catch a fish. Send all the fish you catch to Washington, DC, and have a sushi party there. Don’t even keep one fish here.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Rough and Unofficial Notes from Hoon Dok Hae<br />
|
||||
The morning of January 27, 2002 Kona, Hawai’i<br />
|

Translation by Rev. Peter Kim; Notes by Tyler Hendricks<br />

Pledge Service</h3>
|
||||
<p style="text-align: center;"><b>True Father:</b> Chaju Guk!</p>
|
||||
<p>When we do Hoon Dok Hae, our mind and body should unite in attending God. This generates fragrance that attracts good spirits.</p>
|
||||
<p><i>Cheon Il Guk</i> – Cheon Il means two people becoming one, beginning from the unity of mind and body and going all the way to unity of heaven and earth. When we become one with our subject, then we connect with our ultimate subject, God – that is the meaning of the absolute realm of the autonomous ownership (chaju guk) nation. If the chaju guk becomes subject, then the victorious realm will follow automatically.</p>
|
||||
<p>So whatever level you are on, town, state, whatever, if you are united with God, then heavenly fortune will protect you and help you accomplish what you want to do. That is what is called the victorious realm. With that privilege and determination, we begin this new era. The pre-condition for that is unity of mind and body as an individual. We should be able to see our destiny in this era. Liberation of all things, of humankind, is here. Whether we live or die, everything will become God’s glory and victory. We should have no fear, because we know we will live for eternity. In other words, we are outside the realm of death.</p>
|
||||
<p>So I declared the chunoh chungcha: chunoh means noon, chungcha means settlement; settlement of noontime, which means our life is vertically and horizontally straight. There will be no shadow in our life. We have to become the center that will bring the liberation.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> We do not possess all things. Because of the fall, Satan stole all things. Therefore God and humankind were separated from each other. Because of the fall, all things no longer belonged to Adam and Eve.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> Therefore we should own nothing in the secular world. There should be voluntary sacrificial living offering on the individual level and national level. People say this belongs to America, that belongs to Japan, but they all are robbers. What the secular world claims for itself is stolen. Upon the registration of blessed couples, you have to trace back your mother’s lineage and father’s lineage and provide restoration to them. As we offer sovereignty to God, the good spirits will come down to work with us.</p>
|
||||
<p>What we possess and enjoy in the secular world are stolen goods. The Old Testament era was the era of sacrificing all things; the New Testament era saw the sacrifice of children; and the Completed Testament era called for the sacrifice of parents. Now we are in the Fourth Adam Era. Therefore we have to come out of our old concept and habits as a German, American, Japanese, or Korean. We become citizens of heaven and follow the heavenly tradition. If you are stubborn and stick with your old habits and possessions, you will be like maggots. Without having that condition set as an individual and nation, you have no ladder to climb up. If we do not make the total living offering, it is like exploitation. You sit on stolen goods and still use them even though you know they are stolen.</p>
|
||||
<p>We know my life course, with opposition on every level. But now, in the Fourth Adam Era, on the foundation that I made, I declared the era of the victorious realm of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk), in which True Parents’ life, love and lineage prevail. Do not claim ownership according to your nationality. This is the reason that I called you former presidents of the seven providential nations. You have to repent for the sake of yourself and your nation. That is why I want you to go through the workshop at Chung Pyung Lake with the Ambassadors of Peace. You are like the tribal head of your nation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Everyone has to do Tribal Messiahship, to provide restoration for his tribe, to open the door for them to receive the blessing. In Korea there are 273 different clans. They should be united and eventually receive True Parents’ blessing. This is the absolute way to build the Kingdom of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>Don’t be proud of your wealth. Your wealth is the result of exploitation. Your ancestors! That’s why it doesn’t belong to any nation. We have to offer it to God and receive it back from him.</p>
|
||||
<p>The oceans have been abandoned and neglected. During World War II, Japan tried to conquer America and failed. Now it is not Japan, but heavenly soldiers who should land in America. That is why Hawai’i is the bridge, the beachhead. The countries that share the Pacific, such as Korea, Taiwan, Japan, North and South America, are in trouble. There is no ownership of those nations. Even the UN lost ownership. The continents have no owners. So we have to establish a strong enough foundation here to make a successful landing, along with God.</p>
|
||||
<p>That’s why I invited you seven presidents here, to start praying and preparing for the True Parents’ birthday celebration, and mobilize the Peace Ambassadors to do that, and join them at the workshop. By 2004, Korea should be united. As a spiritual condition, I initiated registration for Unification Church members. Once Christianity is united, Korea can easily be united by having all the Christians buy the land.</p>
|
||||
<p>Throughout human history, we have this privilege of having True Parents only once. Again, I remind you of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk). The era of victory. Because of the fall of man, we lost autonomy and ownership. We lost a sense of direction. But now, because of the teaching and merit of the age, we have the luxury of being in the victorious era of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk).</p>
|
||||
<p>Don’t ever think that there is no spirit world. During World War II, the allied and axis nations fought, six nations and when we add Korea, we get seven nations.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the absolute era of God. Yesterday I declared the era of the victorious realm of the autonomous ownership nation (chaju guk). Today is the first day of that era, the day of the liberation of all things.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> The transfer of ownership from Satan to God.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> False parents took everything away, so we have to return it to God. In the last fifty years, I guided the use of a large flow of funds. Nothing was for my own sake; it was all for the providence. It was not wasted; no one can take away what was done. The ancestors are still standing behind what I did; nothing is lost. Because Satan has opposed me on all levels, I never gave up. This is not a children’s game. I have been fighting Satan all my life. Again, throw out your old secular world habits and ways. Soon we will see the time that you cannot see me freely. If you don’t fulfill your responsibility, newcomers will take away your privileges.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your body should be a holy offering, but think of how stained it is. The time will come when if we doze during Hoon Dok Hae, our ancestors will wake us up with a punch. We should be able to claim ourselves as a clean mind and body so that we are qualified to be registered properly and be accepted.</p>
|
||||
<p>Blessed couples from the 36 to the 430 Blessings will gather during my birthday and be screened and re-organized. Each individual should have his own ladder to climb up. I have shown you how to climb the ladder. The spirit world will interfere with our life for the sake of goodness. If we make a mistake, we will face the consequences immediately. For some people, therefore, it is a fearful era. So, remember the era of the victorious realm of the autonomous ownership nation, so that God can do whatever He wants with this world.</p>
|
||||
<p>I offered forgiveness to the blessed couples through the registration blessing, so if you make a mistake again, I cannot do anything about it, but your ancestors will take care of you, one way or another. So live for the sake of God and True Parents. When Jacob was running away in the night, God showed him a ladder. In the same way, we each need a ladder. Don’t fall off of it. Whatever mission we may do or talk about, the prerequisite is the unity of mind and body. That comes first, even for climbing the ladder, first on the individual level. On the family level, your family should climb it all together. True Parents already set the ladder safely; you just have to climb it. You have to persevere until the end. You absolutely have to be united with True Parents. If you have no confidence to tag along, you have to become like a fly sitting on my jacket and go through the eight stages together. A fly on a plane from Japan will be carried to America. So absolute faith, love and obedience is needed.</p>
|
||||
<p>I am educating youth in Korea, students on all levels of schools. At least I am setting a condition to offer this God-centered education. If they don’t take it, it is their problem. I am offering this education on an equal level, regardless of race, religion and nation. Remember when Lot’s wife turned back to gaze upon Sodom and turned into a pillar of salt. This is a time like that. We just have to look forward. There have been struggles and conflicts between races; this should cease. In the last days, … I am not a fool. I am overqualified to be a national president and I have never sought such a position.</p>
|
||||
<p>The word ‘True Parents’ is the most precious word. God is distributing all the treasures of his museum, but we do not appreciate the value. Our body should be kept pure and clean, along with our mind. Then there is a chance to see the value. That is why, for the ceremonies of holy days, you have to wear holy robes to cover your stained body and mind. It is not the time for me even to look back, much less pull or look after you. You are on your own. That is why the autonomous nation was declared. You have to stand on your own two feet. You have to pay the debt.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you make an offering to God, you must forget it. Even if it were dropped into the middle of the ocean, you don’t think about it. The deepest point of the Pacific Ocean is 10,000 meters deep, near the Philippines. God is the owner of the ocean and land; everything belongs to God. Even if it costs America, Japan and Korea, Father wants to secure an island nation.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> Through the restoration process, we can inherit ownership from God.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> The autonomous nation is important; it has God’s lineage attached to it. If you stand on that foundation, Satan cannot snatch you away. You have not the foggiest idea of the victorious realm of the autonomous nation, but now as I explain it, you nod your heads. Remember the total sacrificial living offering you made, it is for educating people. Some nations spent it to buy land; they will be punished. The purpose is clear: it is for education.</p>
|
||||
<p>Once you have your letter, you can hang onto it and close your eyes and climb up. I’ve already told you how to do it. Once you establish a father-son relationship, if you make small mistakes it is okay. Like little children make small mistakes and the parents do not punish them. But when you grow up, it is different. When I go to spirit world, the Unification movement will prevail and prosper. The spirit world is full of blessed couples who will work with you, following my direction.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> We climbed the ladder from the level of servant of servants and on up, eight stages. We have to offer absolute faith, love and obedience to God and True Parents. The 4.4 celebration day was declared in Punta del Este. We did these conditional days, by which I cleaned up spirit world step by step. The return of the ocean and land, the different stages of return took place. The oceans should be connected to the land, the continents. If all things receive enough love, they will naturally return to the source of that love, the owner. That is natural law.</p>
|
||||
<p>If we utilize resources properly, the world will really prosper. But we have misused and polluted. The world will become like a zoo. The insects will have to be protected. Animals can survive by means of the food chain. If necessary, we can build a gigantic building and raise all kinds of living things, from insects to tigers and lions. In other words, a zoo.</p>
|
||||
<p>Krill is the key food for animals and fish. We can even build a fish farm in the middle of the Sahara desert. As long as we have fertilizer and water, we can farm anywhere. It is just a matter of building the tunnel (canal). There is plenty of krill in the Antarctic. On each continent, there is a big desert, and we have to develop it for human life, as a fish farm or whatever we can do. We have to conquer the North Pole and Antarctic. If we don’t have a joint venture of all nations, and if each individual nation just pursues its own benefit, the poles will be exploited and disappear.</p>
|
||||
[Father’s prayer in the Hoon Dok Hae reading:] Since 1963, I started the ocean-centered providence. I have done this in order to establish a strong enough foundation. I know no children have cared enough about the ocean in the past. But there is the hope and vision of all humanity and True Parents. Therefore, I finally came to Kodiak and offered eight points to you. Through this condition of declaration, I want to see the land and ocean connected. I pray that heaven and earth be united, and hell and heaven be united. We should be connected to God’s lineage. Through that, we can secure the realm of liberation for eternity. I pray for the completion of blessing. I report this to you on this morning, to take everything as victory and glory for you. I report all this to you. All the blessed couples in the spirit world and on earth should work together. Centered on Jesus, the major saints should work together. All this should begin in spirit world and eventually reach down to the physical world. I pray for the eternal world filled with your glory and victory. Please remember this providential declaration this morning. We will march together in the world of the omnipotent, omniscient, almighty, ubiquitous God. Amen.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> The victorious realm does not come by itself; we have to create it. If you watch the animal world, for most species, almost half of the offspring die. That is natural law. The food chain exists there. We may not be able to create new species of insects and animals, but we have to preserve them at least. Species become extinct and we should not allow that. Catching fish is not for the sake of eating. We need food, but the purpose should be greater than that. We should be the owner and master of the world.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yesterday, they caught some fish, ono and striped marlin. Have faith in your life; realize that you live for the sake of God and humanity. All things are there for the sake of humanity. So, you enjoy your life. Even though all things recognize me, when I walk on a field, I feel the plants greeting me. We should all become like that.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> Return of land. June 24, 2000, Han Nam Dong, I asked, “Can you take responsibility for the reunification of Korea by 2004?” No one had a dream about the registration process, but I initiated it because you did not know what to do, and also the blessing of people in the spirit world. At Chung Pyung Lake, last time, I told the trainees that the thing God respects and adores the most is the love organ. Because that is where God can be joined with His children. No religious founder has said such a thing, because in the secular world, talk of the love organ is the lowest level talk.</p>
|
||||
<p>Our conscience constantly reminds us what to do. It creates the equal level, balance. Through our love organ, new life can be created. It is like a melting pot in which the husband and wife’s life melt together and create a new life. That is why, if you have no children, your life ends in one generation. That is why those who avoid having children are consigning themselves to hell. Those who avoid marriage will face the same consequence because it means that they will not have children.</p>
|
||||
<p>The return of the ocean and land are necessary. Once this return process is done, we should play the role of owner to the ocean and land. Because of this era of the victorious realm of the autonomous nation, there will be no opposition anywhere. Soon, everyone will be issued a <i>Cheon Il Guk</i> ID card, a plastic card that will validate you wherever you go.</p>
|
||||
<p>Japan is an island nation, and people from an island nation cannot conquer a continent. Japan should not oppose me; if it continues to, it will face difficulties. I am still calling women missionaries out of Japan, to save as many people as possible out in the larger world.</p>
|
||||
<p>My children may be stubborn, like me, but once they know the truth, they can turn around 180 degrees, like me. What is the significance of having True Parents? Through True Parents your lineage can be cleansed and reconnected to God. You know the parable of the prodigal son. If your son comes back hungry, you will give him your food even if you have to starve. That is the heart of parents. If the parents turn their back on the prodigal son, where can he go? You are his last hope, so you have to embrace him and give him another chance. When the prodigal’s father offered the banquet, do you think that the rest of the children, who had stayed with the father, felt good or bad? They should rejoice with the father, not feel bad.</p>
|
||||
<p>Look at the light bulb filament … it is black, but provides bright light. The black race is more athletic and physically better built, on average. When you look at anything carefully, you will find the power of God there. Therefore you cannot deny the existence of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>What is the purpose of man’s sexual organ? To use as a chopstick? To urinate? What determines a man or woman, the sexual organ, or the shape of the body? No matter how rich a nobleman may be, if at the time of his wedding he has no functioning love organ, he will be discarded and abandoned. Even the bride, once she realizes that her husband cannot function as a man, will keep crying and eventually end her life or abandon him. Again, the unity of mind and body is key. So my lifelong motto is to seek total self-control before seeking to serve God’s will for the universe.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you know my direction and practice it, blessed couples will never wind up in hell.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> We have to take our own responsibility. Unification Church member families should have enough resources to support themselves, physically and spiritually. I offered a prayer to unite land and ocean at Chung Pyung Lake. In Uruguay I bought a national treasure and restored it. Japan and Philippines are counterparts, like Korea and Uruguay. If the people in North Korea starve, we have to provide them food. The U.S., Japan, Russia and China should help achieve the unification of Korea. Can you be responsible for the unification of Korea, horizontally and vertically? You should take responsibility for your people and nation.</p>
|
||||
<p>The DMZ should be eliminated, with help from America, Russia, China and Japan. We have to educate them to do so. I provided a foundation for North Korea to stand. If I bought enough land in South America, North Korea’s people can come there and settle. At least pray for this, even if you cannot take responsibility for it. The children born in Korea are blessed with heavenly fortune because of God’s providence culminating here. I don’t feel pity for Korea anymore. I offered education nationwide in Korea at least three times, so I fulfilled my responsibility. If you Korean leaders do not fulfill yours, then the reunification will be postponed and I will leave Korea. I have to carry on God’s providence. The National Messiahs returned to Korea. You have to spearhead this holy mission. If you are responsible, you will do it without expecting help. I gave new assignments to many of you today. You have to stand on the front line and start digging the ground. Offer education to the people, to your tribal members. We have God-centered spiritual sovereignty now. If Protestantism and Roman Catholicism had united after World War II, the world now would be filled with blessed couples. We have to offer Hoon Dok Hae at Christian churches. If you put your neck out, you can do it.</p>
|
||||
<p>Father’s prayer in <b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> I declared the return of the ocean and land in South America and Korea. I am connecting the six continents and five oceans and returning it to this original place of the Garden of Eden. All the blessed couples in spirit world and newly blessed couples on earth should be united, and have the autonomous right as true subjects who naturally find true objects. We should inherit the absolute heart of True Parents. By doing so, we can secure God’s fatherland. The liberation of all things is the foundation for the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. I pray that all the blessed members may have absolute unity of mind and body. Please enjoy this victory and glory, dear God. All things want to be governed and owned by you. On this day, June 24, 2000, everything has been returned to you, so please receive it, and I order all the members to march forward to build the Kingdom of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>The return of the cosmos, heaven and earth, June, 2000</p>
|
||||
<p>The entire universe should be offered to God through True Parents. We have to go beyond ourselves through self-negation. That is why we need the condition of making the total living offering. Not a dead offering, but a living offering. It should be cut in half, like the animals in the Old Testament, still alive, because we have to bring life into this dead world. Making the offering secures ownership. It is a symbolic offering, but it gives the right to claim ownership.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> This is not my own interpretation; this is the mandatory process we have to go through.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> In order to make the total living offering, we have to be able to erase our own name. Everything has to be offered; total negation. By doing so, we can be reconnected to God.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> We need to receive new names. What if we switched men’s and women’s names? Or switched eastern and western names? I don’t want to see even a shadow of Satan. Take your mother’s family name instead of your father’s, for example. It is unfair for women to have to take the man’s family name when they marry. What is better, mother and son, or mother and daughter? Moja means “mother and son” and also means “hat.”</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> I have no enemy. The principle has no boundaries and no enemies. Everyone knows.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> Even America as a nation should make the total living offering to God. Centering on Christianity, America should do it. America is a melting pot of races and nationalities. Once America makes the offering, it represents the world. That is why I spent over 30 years in America. Christianity cannot complain about my devotion to America; I have done enough. I clearly can claim this. The world should follow and resemble me, so we are issuing the <i>Cheon Il Guk</i> card, which has True Parents’ photo. When you have it, you carry True Parents around and your ancestors will stay with you, all the time, so you will live with them together. Throughout my life, I never skipped Sunday morning pledge, even out on the ocean, or in North Korea. Don’t you think my life has been worthy? [Yes.] If you are a minister, you should be able to teach people. Some of our church leaders avoid preaching on Sundays, but I always come back to the original point on Sunday and worship God, show respect to God and do kyung bae to God. You have to able to feed your bone marrow to your congregation.</p>
|
||||
<p>Most Korean leaders in South America were chased out of the Korean movement. The leaders in the Pantanal too. By the secular world’s standard, they would be abandoned, but I embraced them and gave them another chance in South America. I embraced them just as I embraced Japan, an enemy nation.</p>
|
||||
<p>We have to focus on educating children. If Japan opposes that, it will have no future. It is a bride nation, so women missionaries are being sent all over the world. North Korea, Russia and China are a threat to Japan. Japan justifies its invasion of other countries by claiming they are helping those nations. There is a disputed island between Korea and Japan.</p>
|
||||
<p>Why is Rev. Yu in charge of Uruguay and Japan? It is because Uruguay is the counterpart of Korea, so he is the bridegroom of both nations. Japanese economic power will not prevail; they have to learn how to open their hearts and love their enemies. In Japan, all kinds of women tried to seduce me, even grandmothers. When spring comes, new buds should come onto the trees and bring new fruit. Japanese members, raise your hands. I have been protecting Japan from criticism and attack.</p>
|
||||
<p>The process is the return of ocean, return of land, and then the return of heaven and earth. That is the process we go through. The seed of life remains intact even if forty years have passed. In other words, truth will remain as truth for eternity. If you are united with my heart, you will be in tears when you pray, even as a man, missing me. Blood is thicker than water, yet true love is even thicker and stronger than blood.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> We launched a campaign to restore 144,000 churches.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> That is why we will have a 144,000 clergy blessing this April. We are talking about 288,000 individuals. This is the last days.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> The Bible says that at the second coming, 144,000 believers will welcome him and be the first resurrection. If we sacrifice our body, our spirit self will grow. When we walk, we always have the legs take turns. It is natural. By the same token, the Cain and Abel problem is a universal issue. Even between Adam and Eve there should be the right order. Woman should follow man. There should be a love relationship between husband and wife. Only after you love your enemy can you return to your hometown. You should give this truth to your family and relatives first. That is why I give you the Tribal Messiah providence.</p>
|
||||
<p>Again, I have responsibility to inform the return of the ocean and land, but today I declared the return of heaven and earth. We bought much land here and there, as a condition for returning land. I have focused on the ocean many years as a condition for return of the ocean. I have shed tears in prayer as a condition to return heaven and earth. We have to become the owners of the ocean and land. Have confidence that the True Parents have done it.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> I have had tens of billions of dollars, but have spent it all for the sake of the providence.</p>
|
||||
<p>Call people sikkhu first, then by their nationality of birth, because we have the same ancestor. German sikkhu, not German person. (Sikkhu is Korean for “family member.”) Teach your children Korean. There should be one language. Animals the world over speak the same language. Cows that lived 1,000 years ago, spoke the same language. But human beings have hundreds of different languages and sounds. Mr. Inoue, can you speak Korean? [Yes.] How about English? [Yes.] Mr. Kagiyama! [conversation about his language ability] Study Korean.</p>

<p>Whoever graduates UTS should be a world leader, and all leaders must graduate from UTS.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae (prayer):</b> Unification Church leaders should bring the unification of Korea. The ideal of cosmic love is lighting the entire universe, but because of the fall of the human ancestors, history is a story of han. God, you never gave up, and started the work of restoration, but your children have not done their responsibility. Now True Parents finally appeared, who understand your heart and ideal of creation, and introduced all of this to humankind. I have come through 40 years of suffering, but now …</p>
|
||||
<p>There was a chance after World War II for Christianity to unite with you and begin a new world through the blessing. But they lost that opportunity. Now this is a new time for humanity to connect with God. So we are welcoming a new spring, to the liberated spirit world and physical world, and securing the unification of Korea. We have a great task in front of us. I finally declared the return of ocean, land and heaven and earth. That’s why I came here to Cheju Island. We have to reach beyond Halla Mountain, Mt. Everest …</p>
|
||||
<p>All the declarations I have made have nothing to do with Satan. I declare in this hour that the entire cosmos will be in the position on God’s side. The blessing of return is declared. By doing so, the Unification Church providence will prosper. This morning of June 29, I declare this. Please use it as a condition. I offer this declaration for the return of heaven and earth. Amen.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> After this year, nations will divide and split, but the Unification Church movement will prosper. God’s kingship has been established. Conditionally, more than half of humanity is in the realm of blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p>Many top leaders are from the Cholla province: the Continental Director of America, Rev. Yu of Japan, the top leader of Korea. Cholla has suffered historically, but the time has come for you to be resurrected. That is why God is using you as top leaders. You tend to be more liberal types. God is fair. Cholla has been put down, but in the last days, people from Cholla are used as key leaders. There is always an order, even in making an offering table. When I select leaders for here and there, I follow a certain order. I am putting some pressure on Cholla province leaders. It is the southern province, the Kwangju area.</p>
|
||||
<p>When former President Eu wrote Divine Principle, he could not write anything on his own. He had to follow my directions on each page. I sent four missionaries to America: (Dr.) Bo Hi Pak, (Dr.) Young Oon Kim, (Mr.) Sang Ik Choi, and (Dr. David) Sang Chul Kim. Young Oon Kim was the leader among the four. When I first came to America, some told me that since I don’t speak English, I had to listen to them. But I never paid attention to that. I never forget certain things. You can be amazed by my memory. I sent Dr. Pak to _______________ when his election was taking place, to secure the reunification of Korea. He promised things, but did not keep his promises.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> Liberation of God</p>
|
||||
<p>Securing the liberation of God is our final task. Because of the fall, God was put in confinement. That is why we, as children of God, should secure the state of liberation of God. Vertically we are His children. Horizontally we are brothers and sisters. But that foundation was lost by the fall. God lost his prince to his enemy, so he has been the God of han. Your king is alive, but people think you are dead, that is God’s life. God’s ideal of love was not fulfilled. We have to relieve his lament of han and feel His heart.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> Once we secure the heart relationship through three generations, the entire universe will respond. In order to reach that level, we have to pay the proper indemnity on each stage. Please secure your grandchildren, so the four-position foundation is set over three generations. That is mandatory to enter the Kingdom of God. Otherwise you will be just floating. We have to understand how serious it was for God to have True Father born in this physical world, after 6,000 years of waiting. The order of restoration is first the oneness between mother and children, then the unity between father, mother and children together, and then as a family unit they start revolving around God’s heart. This is the formula that will never change. No one came up with this except for me. Don’t take it for granted.</p>
|
||||
<p>Restoration of the realm of God’s heart. The quality of gold increases by carets, from 12K to 24K. There is white gold and several kinds of gold. Regular gold is gold color, externally, but white gold has internal color. The color white is the most central color for anything. If you spin a rainbow, you get the color white.</p>
|
||||
<p>We have to liberate God. If you truly understand Divine Principle, as a man when you pray you will miss True Father with tears. Think of how far you are from that heartistic relationship with me. If you cast a net in the deep sea, you have to have a long enough rope and the net should be big enough and deep enough. There is an island nation called Palau, located near the deepest spot in the Pacific Ocean.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> The liberation of God is the precondition to liberate humankind. Christians believe that God is the God of judgment, but our view is that we have to liberate God. The entire world, all the people, should be the object of God’s love, but because of the fall we lost that status. So how can we achieve the world’s unification? Once we find a person who is an absolute object of God, we can unite with that person and achieve that goal.</p>
|
||||
<p>Think of how painful God’s heart must be in dealing with the evil parents in the physical world, who do not care about him but are only self-centered. If all humankind comes together, they may liberate this world but they will not liberate the heart of God. Liberating God’s heart is the revolution of revolutions; that’s why I came as a revolutionary.</p>
|
||||
<p>God has been confined until now. He is full of lamentation having lost his son. This is the culmination of restoration. Once we know Unification Thought, God will dwell in the family. Centering on your family, we should be able to sing a song of love and springtime. Because of the fall, we lost our original homeland. So we have to be able to return to that state. Eventually, we have to achieve the liberation of God. Only after the liberation of God will the liberation of True Parents take place, then the liberation of children. In order to do that, we have to secure sovereignty.</p>
|
||||
<p>Through the restoration of our tribe, we can secure the foundation to liberate God. I have many titles: True Father, Master, Reverend. The false parents appeared as a result of the fall that was caused by ignorance, so we have to find truth so that we avoid ignorance, and find true love, so as to attend God as our true subject.</p>
|
||||
<p>Who can liberate God? He cannot liberate himself, although he is omniscient and omnipotent. Liberating God is the foundation for liberation of humanity, but he could not do it because he was confined. The only person who can liberate God are True Parents, who can liberate human history as the Messiah. God and Satan are in conflict and so cannot do it. False parents caused the conflict. Now the True Parents finally appeared, so even Satan has to recognize them. So we have to establish a foundation strong enough to gain Satan’s voluntary surrender.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> Elder son’s rights, parent’s rights, king’s rights, we lost all of them because of the fall, and we have to get them back at this time. Cain was the elder son, and now we have to reverse the order. This restoration of the elder son’s rights should take place voluntarily and naturally. When Satan took the elder son’s right, he used force and falsehood.</p>
|
||||
<p>Satan cannot make any excuse before True Parents, but only offer voluntary surrender. That is why True Parents will secure the liberation of Satan. What about your life? We have to be able to go to the bottom of hell. Sleeping less than anyone else. Such a humble life will ignite your torch. My life has been like the life of a fool, in a secular view, like a handicapped life. But in reality, I am not handicapped. To preserve God’s providence and the Unification Church movement, I had to do many things. Your conscience knows the direction you have to go, what mistakes you made, whether you are true or false, and to what degree.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> Do you have true love in your mind and body? If you have conflict between mind and body, you have no true love in your heart. No one other than True Parents knew how can we liberate the eight stages.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> But you know now, and if all the six billion people are willing to learn from me, it can be done overnight. Question yourself why you are here, why you are in the movement. You should be able to answer yourself. Sometimes I will test you and I may punch you. You have to ask yourself why you got punched. Suppose you got that punch in order to relieve God’s lamentation. In that case, it would be an honor. Don’t even think you are superior to anyone. Be humble. Arrogance is the eternal enemy. Even if you give up your life, if that can secure the liberation of God, you should be able to sacrifice yourself. I never resisted torture in prison, as long as I was alive, I was still thinking about God’s providence.</p>
|
||||
<p>I may look like a fool, but no; inside I had everything planned out. I have been educating my own children to have absolute faith in me. I have been very tolerant to them so that they could realize what they were doing and come back to me. I know what is going on with each child and I have been patiently waiting for their voluntary return. Even true children are afraid of me. True Mother knows that I do not live following impulses, but strictly following the Principled course. Don’t think the course of indemnity is easy. It is a miracle that I have survived 58 years since the liberation of Korea. They labeled me a robber of their women. There were temptations and seduction, women coming naked and offering me their breasts. There were women who were young, who were daughter-like, wife-like, and mother-like. Mr. Im’s mother was an ardent follower, so when he was young he and his father opposed me. (True Father scolds Mr. Im, good-naturedly.) There have been many types of women in my life, queen-like mother-like, but I overcame them all. I always followed the rule. Mrs. Gil Ja Sa thinks True Mother is like a younger sister. Whatever is good, she (Mrs. Sa) thinks belongs to her. If she keeps up like that, she’ll be chased out. There is an order. The nose cannot replace the eyes. The ears have to be ears. I always follow the heavenly law and rule, so Satan cannot accuse me. Many people say that I will fail, but I will not fail.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> The Unification Church is not my asset, nor America’s asset. It should belong to God. Only then will the world have freedom. Satan surrendered, so centering on True Parents, the completion of three stages is taking place. You have to play the role of the owner of your family.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> This is the time that we as blessed couples should create our own blessings of 36 spiritual children couples, 72 couples, and so forth, and send them out for pioneering, for the sake of the restoration of the fatherland. I appointed thousands of people as peace ambassadors, and I am putting them through education now. That is why they will go through this workshop seminar from Feb 14-19.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> As filial sons, we should be able to comfort God’s heart. So the test is still in front of us. We desire our love partner to be greater than ourselves. God has been seeking perfected Adam’s family for thousands of years. When we die and stand in front of God, think about the treatment you will receive at that time. I have been walking the course of restoration and liberation of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>In this Fourth Adam Era, blessed couples have inherited the realm of heaven and earth as a whole. It is Adam’s responsibility to liberate God. Therefore, as a restored Adam we have responsibility to play the role of filial son on the family level, patriot, saint and divine son. Only true parents can liberate God and bring the realm of liberation on a cosmic level.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> True Parents who can embrace four directions, all different types of people, are the ones who can liberate God.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> Even all things are lamenting, so we have to liberate them. I go to the mountains and oceans for that purpose. We have to cleanse our satanic lineage and rebuild it connected with God, and restart our life. That is our duty. With the heart of parents, we shed tears, sweat and blood for the sake of the land, and God. It is like a journey on a small boat across the Pacific Ocean, but we have God with us. Amen.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Dec 26, 2000, Belvedere:</b> A new millennium is here. Earth, space and heaven are like formation, growth and completion. The victory of True Parents is to have nothing to do with Satan. Until this era, there have been two owners, Satan and God, but in the Fourth Adam Era there is only one owner, True Parents, absolutely united with God. In the past providential eras, we endeavored to save people as individuals and families, but in the Fourth Adam Era we have to work to save all humanity, to be the master of the nation and world, even to the cosmic level. This is the historical transition.</p>
|
||||
<p>I was supposed to have accomplished this by the age of 40, but it was postponed to the age of 80. To establish the vertical axis, I had to bless the criminals and saints in spirit world. In this transitional time. I gave out my speech books, so you have to do Hoon Dok Hae with them. The purpose of being born as a human being is to take the object position to God. We have to grow up and mature to prepare the banquet with God. Without the fall, we could have inherited everything on the family level. But everything was lost. There was no realm of Sabbath rest for God.</p>
|
||||
<p>The transitional period is here, not just on the individual level, but overall. When you give birth to children, you have to have faith in them. You have to practice true love life, giving and giving and forgetting. That way we create eternal, God-like value in ourselves and our family. True Parents are on top of the cosmos. We are responsible to restore the entire earth, like Canaan.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father:</b> We have to be reborn to live in the Kingdom of God, in the house of Jehovah. If you want to live there, even St. Paul thought he would go to the Kingdom of God, but he found himself in the mid-level spirit world, so he had to go through a conversion experience in the spirit world. That is Dr. Lee’s message. We have to solve the problems on the group level. All the Christian leaders in the spirit world are repenting, and regretting that they cannot attend the True Parents in the flesh. They are waiting for True Parents’ entry into spirit world.</p>
|
||||
<p>I have to clean up the bottom of hell. Mr. Yoon, are you absolutely confident you will not fall? [Yes!] What if a woman comes to you in your sleep and you fall and then wake up and it is done? Satan can trick you. There were times I put padlocks on my bedroom. Mr. Im, don’t you think your mother desired to be hugged by me when you were young? I could have had pity on her. [Rev. Im: There are different ways of showing pity.] Of course, I didn’t do anything, but if you were in my position, you could have. There were just a few followers, but they were so devoted to be able to offer everything, their wealth, their bodies. But I disciplined myself not to abuse them, physically or spiritually.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even now we have an immense budget, but I do nothing for my own sake. If there is a celebration, we should be able to share food and everything with everyone, even if it is just a small piece of bread.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the second year of <i>Cheon Il Guk</i>, which was declared last year.</p>
|
||||
[About swimmers riding on the backs of large fish and snakes.] If I decided to drink, I would hook up my mouth to a hose from a beer factory. Smoking and drinking, I have nothing to do with and I don’t know what it is like.</p>
|
||||
<p>Even if we do 24-hours Hoon Dok Hae, you should be so positive about it that you forget about meals and sleeping.</p>
|
||||
<p>Blessed families are the fruits of the cosmos.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Hoon Dok Hae:</b> In one generation, we have to build the Kingdom of God. We have to reject the secular world status, Ph.D. or whatever. Once we are connected with True Parents, we take the position of true children. In order to reach that goal, we have to negate everything secular, and reach the level of judgment of heart. Then we will go into the realm of resurrection of heart. There, we inherit everything from God and will be able to bear the perfect fruit and seed. Please, Korean couples should resemble True Parents and True Family. The completion of the providence is done.</p>
|
||||
<p>Of course, with the help of God, it was possible. We should liberate God. Then Satan cannot accuse us. That is the way we can settle the Kingdom of God on Earth and in heaven.</p>

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><말 씀> 비로소, 삼대상 즉위식을 해 가지고 정오정착을 선언한 것과 마찬가지로 정오시대에 들어가는 것입니다. 이제부터 43일 후면 하지가 됩니다. 6월 22일까지의 기간이 그렇게 되기 때문에 통일가에서 정비해야 할 것은 또 정비해야 됩니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Forty-three days from today, it will be the summer solstice. We have forty-three days to June 22nd, during which time the Unification Family should prepare itself.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">재미있는 것이 무엇이냐 하면 오늘이 현진이 생일입니다. 그렇게 날짜와 시간이 다 맞다구요. 선생님은 지금까지 치료받던 모든 것이 끝나고 눈까지도 새로이 벗고 넘어서게 됩니다. 그렇기 때문에 새로운 출발시대로 들어가는 중요한 날인 것을 알아야 되겠습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What is interesting about today is that it is Hyunjin(nim)’s birthday. The day and time fit together like that. All the treatment I’ve been undergoing is over, and even my eyes are like new. Therefore you should all know today is a very important day, since it marks our entering an era for a new start.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">요전에 기도한 날이 3일이었지요? [5월 4일이었습니다.(김효율)] 4일이었던가? 그러니까 오늘이 6일째인가? 4일까지 포함하면 7일째가 되는 거지? 7일째를 넘어서는 날이에요. 그렇게 새로운 시대로 들어간다는 사실을 알아야 되겠습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The day I offered the Prayer was the 4th, wasn’t it? So today is the 6th day from the day of prayer, isn’t it? Including the 4th, today is the 7th day, right? Today we are passing through the 7th day. You should all know that we are entering a new era with this day.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">요전에 기도한 내용의 녹음이 잘 안되었어? [녹음이 되었는데요, 양 회장에게 전했더니 그것을 역사편찬위원회에 보내서 거기서 기록하게 했답니다.(김효율)] 여기는 없나? [한국으로 보냈답니다.(김효율)] 오늘 재차 읽고 그런 때인 것을 다 알아야 된다구요. [하지까지는 43일이 남았으니까요. (어머님)]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Prayer I offered, was it recorded well? [It was recorded, but it was passed on to Dr. Yang, who sent it to the Unification Church History Committee to be transcribed there. (Rev. Peter Kim)] So it isn’t here? [It was sent to Korea. (Rev. Hyo Yul Kim)] We should all read it again and know what era we are living through at the moment. [There are still forty-three days left till the summer solstice. (True Mother)]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">정오정착! 한국에 단오라는 것이 있잖아요? 점심시간이 제일 짧다는 것입니다. 5월 5일, 그 날에 말이에요. 그래서 새로운 청산의 시대로 넘어가는 것입니다. 이제 세상의 사람들을 가만히 내버려둬도 자기들이 싸워 가지고 우리를 모셔야 할 시대에 들어갑니다. 그러니까 이 기간에 우리 통일교 전체는 총생축헌납으로 소유권을 전부 다 교회에 이동시켜 가지고 자기의 소유권이 있으면 안 됩니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Settlement of Noon (the time when no shadow is cast)! In Korea we have a special holiday called Dahn Oh. That is the day on which the lunch hour is the shortest. This day is May 5th. Through that day we are entering a new era of liquidating everything we have. Now we are entering an era in which the people of the world will fight with each other in order to serve us. Therefore during this period the whole Unification church should offer all they have to the church as the Total Offering. There should be no property under your name.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">정오정착이라는 것은 낮이 제일 짧은 날을 중심삼고 넘어가게 되니 만큼 소유권을 전부 다 부정해야 됩니다. 이제부터 세상의 모든 습관과 풍습을 넘어 가지고 우리의 가정맹세 5번에 있는 것과 마찬가지로 영계를 중심삼고 지상과 하나되어 가지고 모든 것을 맞춰 나가야 할 각자의 책임이 있습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Settlement of Noon happens centering on the day with the shortest afternoon hours, and that is why you should renounce all your rights of ownership. From now on we should all transcend all customs and traditions of the world, and become one with the physical world centering on the spirit world, just as we have pledged through Family Pledge verse 5. You are all responsible to do so.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">천일국의 중심가정이란 말은 타락하지 않은 아담과 해와의 자리를 전세계의 축복가정과 만민이 복귀해서 출생신고를 하고 혼인신고를 할 수 있는 시대로 넘어가는 가정이라는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The words Central Families of the Cheon Il Guk mean that all the blessed families in the world and all people have restored the positions of fallen Adam and Eve, so that now they stand as they did before the Fall. Once that is done, the central families will enter a new era when they will be able to register their births and marriages.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">지금까지 출생신고도 못하고 혼인신고도 못했지만 이제부터 출생신고도 하고 혼인신고도 해서 부모님이 이루어 놓은 것을 몽땅 넘겨받게 되는 때가 됩니다. 그렇게 넘겨받는 데 있어서는 자기의 소유권이 없어요. 그렇게 넘겨받는 데 있어서 소유권이 있어서는 안 됩니다. 모두 다 재창조되어서 태어나는 입장이 되는 것입니다. 수백 억의 사람들이 있더라도 전부 다 한꺼번에 태어나는 것과 마찬가지라구요. 그러한 중요한 시대로 넘어가는 흠이 없는 완전한 날이 오늘인 5월 10일입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Until now you could not register your births and marriages, but now the time will come when you can do both, and so inherit everything achieved by True Parents. You should not hold ownership for anything you have if you want your inheritance. There should be nothing left to your name to be inherited. That is because you have to stand in the position of being reborn. Even if there are tens of billions of people in the world, they will all be reborn at the same time. The perfect day on which we enter this important new era is today, May 10th.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">광물세계도 주체와 대상, 식물세계도 주체와 대상, 동물세계도 주체와 대상, 인간세계도 주체와 대상으로 되어 있는데 그렇게 주체와 대상으로 되어 있는 모든 것들이 타락함으로 말미암아 우리 몸 마음의 싸움이 벌어지게 되었습니다. 그렇게 벌어진 싸움이 세계까지 확장되어 가지고 이번에 이라크와 미국이 싸우게 되었는데 부시가 정리해 놓았습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the mineral world there are subjects and objects, in the plant world there are subjects and objects, in the animal world there are subjects and objects, and even in the human world there are subjects and objects. All beings consisting of subjects and objects fell, and because of that our mind and body fight with each other. This fight has been expanded to the world level, and so recently there was a war between Iraq and the United States, but President Bush has taken care of that.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">이제부터 세계를 수습하기 힘들게 되는 것은 세계적인 시대에서 국가적인 시대, 국가적인 시대에서 민족적인 시대, 민족적인 시대에서 종족적인 시대로 떨어져 내려가기 때문입니다. 그렇기 때문에 아무리 유엔과 미국이 전부 다 하나로 만들려고 노력하더라도 하나가 안 된다구요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on what will make controlling the world more difficult is that the era we live in is degrading, from the global level to the national level to the tribal level to the clan level. That is why even though the United Nations and the United States are trying hard to unite the world, it is not happening.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">지금부터 우리 통일교회에 있어서는 정오정착을 선포해 가지고 새롭게 출발하니 만큼 그러한 생활을 하지 않으면 앞으로 천법에 걸려 즉결처분을 받을 수 있는 시대로 들어가는 것입니다. 정오정착시대에 축복가정들은 전부 다 재림주를 대신하는 자리에 서게 됩니다. 그 자리는 천사장보다 높은 자리예요. 소생, 장성, 완성권을 넘어서 천사장들보다 높은 사랑의 자리에 서기 때문에 하나님을 해방할 수 있게 됩니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now we the Unification church have declared the Settlement of Noon and are starting afresh, and so now we are entering a new era in which all of us can be punished if we break the heavenly law by not leading righteous lives. In the era of the Settlement of Noon, all the blessed families stand in the position of the Lord of the Second Advent. That position is even higher than that of the Archangel. Passing through the formation, growth and completion stage, now we are standing at a higher position of love than even that of the archangels, and so now we can liberate God.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">이 시대에 세계의 주인이 없습니다. 이제부터 새로운 주인을 세워서 정오정착의 시대로 넘어갑니다. 그렇게 넘어가는 날이 5월 10일입니다. 이번에 며칠 동안이었던가? 26일서부터 10일까지 며칠인가? 한 달인가, 사십 며칠인가? [한 달 반이 넘었어요. 두 달이 되어가요.(어머님)] 사십 며칠이야? [날짜로 한다면 3월16일, 4월16일, 5월16일이면 두 달인데…. (어머님)] [55일입니다.(김효율)] 55일, 그거 또 맞구만! 쌍쌍이 된다구요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In this era there is no owner of the world. Now we have to appoint new owners and enter the era of the Settlement of Noon. The day on which we do this is May 10th. How many days was it from the 26th to the 10th? Was it a month, or forty-something days? [It has been over one-and-a-half months. It is almost two months now. (True Mother)] Forty-what days? [When we count the days, from March 16th, April 16th, May 16th would mark two months. (True Mother)] [It is fifty-five days. (Rev. Peter Kim)] Fifty-five days, what a coincidence! It’s the same number repeated twice.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그렇게 해 가지고 넘어선다구요. 숫자나 모든 전부가 신기할 정도로 맞다구요. 또, 오늘이 현진이의 생일이에요. 생일이기 때문에 내가 총을 선물한 거예요. 그러한 기념의 한 표적으로서 남기는 이 날로서 맞이한 식전이라는 것을 알아야 되겠습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is how we are entering a new era. The numbers and such things all fit together amazingly. Moreover, today is Hyunjin(nim)’s birthday. You should all know that this ceremony is being performed to commemorate such a special day.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">천주·천지 참부모님 평화통일 축복가정왕 즉위식이라는 것이 무엇이냐? 아담이 실수함으로 말미암아 하늘나라를 전부 다 깨쳐 버렸고 하나님이 즉위하실 수 있었던 왕의 자리를 파괴시켰습니다. 그것을 전부 다 복귀해 가지고 새롭게 출발하는 날이라고 생각하고 통일가의 맹세문을 완성하는 그러한 가정이 되어야 천국에 들어갈 수 있습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What does the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic Parents and the Parents of Heaven and Earth mean? Adam’s mistake completely destroyed the Kingdom of Heaven and the throne for God’s Coronation. Today is the day we restore all that and start anew. Only when you become families who fulfill the Family Pledge can you enter the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">이제부터 이 식을 하고, 전부 다 그렇게 결심하고 넘어서게 되면 사탄세계가 약화되어서 전부 다 무너집니다. 자기들끼리 싸우는 거예요. 종교싸움과 인종싸움이 한꺼번에 벌어질 수 있는데, 어떻게든 그것을 막으려고 노력하는 선생님입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After performing this ceremony, we should all make a resolution to do so. This will weaken and destroy the satanic world. They will start fighting amongst themselves. Religious and racial wars may simultaneously break out, and it is I who do my best to ensure that does not occur.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">유엔의 나라가 없어요. 그러니까 유엔의 나라를 만들어서 정리해야 됩니다. 세상의 요사스러운 모든 것들을 유엔에서 결정하는 법대로 처리해 나가야 된다구요. 개인이라든가 국가의 시대는 넘어가는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The UN does not have its own nation. That is why we should build a UN nation. All wickedness in the world should be dealt with in according with laws to be determined at the UN. The era of individuals and nations will now become part of the past.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">유엔에도 주인이 없습니다. 우리가 유엔의 주인을 찾기 위한 용사들로서 단합하면 단합할수록 모든 길이 단축될 것입니다. 어떻게든 금년 말에는 아벨적인 유엔을 만들기 위한 준비를 하고 있다구요. 요전에 어디였어요? 인도네시아였어요? [필리핀이었습니다.] 이번 9월에 필리핀의 국회의장을 중심삼고 유엔총회에 새로운 결의안을 제시해 가지고 통과시키기 위한 준비를 백방으로 하고 있습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">There are no owners in the UN either. If we unite together as warriors to find the owners of the UN, and the more united we are, the shorter the time it will take. We are doing our best to make an Abel UN by the end of this year. Where was it? Was it Indonesia? [It was the Philippines.] This September we will present a new Resolution at the UN General Assembly centering on the Philippines’ National Assembly President, and we are doing all we can in every way to ensure it is passed at the UN Assembly.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그것이 통과되는 날에는 일시에 복귀천국이 눈앞에 펼쳐질 것입니다. 담 너머에 있는 돌감람나무도 이쪽으로 넘겨서 잘라 가지고 참감람나무의 순을 접붙이면 참감람나무의 열매가 열리게 된다구요. 그렇게 접붙이고 3년이 지나면 열매가 열리거든요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Once that resolution is passed, the restored Kingdom of Heaven will open up in front of our eyes. The wild olive tree growing on the other side of the wall will be cut and grafted onto the True Olive Tree, and then it will also bear true olives. Three years after engraftment, the tree will bear fruit.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그렇게 열리는 열매를 보게 될 주변국가의 사람들도 담을 넘어와 가지고 눈접을 붙이려고 가지를 도적질하는 경쟁이 붙게 될 것입니다. 이제는 여러분의 3대를 연결해서 축복할 수 있게 되면 자동적으로 커 나간다구요. 그래서 가정생활을 통해서 천국으로 직결될 수 있는 해방의 시대가 오나니라, 아멘! 이 말씀의 내용을 잘 기억하라구요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When the people from the neighboring nations see the trees bearing true fruits, they will climb over the wall to steal the branches so that they can also engraft them. They will fight with each other to steal them, if need be. Just like this, when the three generations are all connected together and blessed, it will spread out in the world and grow larger automatically. Therefore the era of liberation will come when the road leading directly to the Kingdom of Heaven will be opened through families, Amen! Remember these words.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><기도> 아버님, 5월 10일을 중심삼은 상대이상의 절대권을 하늘이 정리한 복귀상에 있어서 하나님이 봄을 맞이하시고, 여름을 맞이하시고, 가을을 맞이하시어 추수하셔야 할 본연의 잃어버리셨던 동산을 아담이 복귀해 가지고 사탄세계와 하늘세계를 분별한 탕감노정이 정비되는 최후의 날로서 5월 10일을 정해 가지고 정오정착이라는 새로운 출발을 발표할 수 있는 이 시간을 갖게 된 것을 감사합니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><Prayer> Heavenly father, the Absolute Realm of the Ideal of Reciprocity centering on this day May 10th has come to pass today with the restoration planned by Heaven. The Original Garden was supposed to pass through spring and summer and be harvested in autumn by You, but was lost. Now it has been restored by Adam, and the last day on which the satanic world and the heavenly world become divided completely through indemnity is today May 10th. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to announce a new beginning, the Settlement of Noon.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">모든 것이 부족하게 살던 시대를 전부 다 정비해 가지고 참부모의 새로운 해방권을 선언함과 동시에 정오정착의 날을 중심삼고 아버지를 모시고 하늘나라의 가정과 지상의 가정이 하나되어 창조의 이후로 실패된 모든 것들을 다시 복귀하여 유엔까지 넘어서 가지고 모든 하늘의 승리권을 전수받을 수 있는 자리에서 만국해방의 여건을 조성하여 아버지께 봉헌하옵니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now we will correct the era in which we lacked so many things, and with the declaration of True Parents’ new liberation and centering on the Day of the Settlement of Noon, the families of heaven and earth have all come together under our Heavenly Father. We offer you the condition of all nations’ restoration, in this place where we are restoring everything that failed after the creation, and with the UN, we are inheriting all the victories of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">뿐만 아니라 지옥이 천국으로 바뀔 수 있는 형태를 갖추게 되었사오니 아버지, 이 날을 기하여 하늘나라와 지상을 자유자재로 주관하시옵소서! 당신의 역사적인 한이 풀리시는 획기적인 한날을 맞이하시는 기쁨으로 만국을 장중에 붙드시어 천상과 지상의 영원한 왕으로서, 부모로서, 주인으로서 출발하시옵소서!</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Moreover, now the time has come when hell is transformed into heaven, so Heavenly Father, please watch over all heaven and earth freely from this day! On this great day when Your eternal grief turns to joy, please rule over all nations and start anew as the Eternal King, Parent and Owner of Heaven and Earth!</p>

I report and declare this in True Parents’ name to the Parent in Heaven, and I hope you will accept it as I report this. Amen, Amen, Amen!</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on you should tread your paths wisely. You can’t do everything as you please. If you do, your sons and daughters will pay indemnity for your actions.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now I am trying to do away with hell. Now the law is set so that if the standard of your life does not correspond that of Heaven, you cannot enter because there is a threshold which you cannot cross. That is why all the wrongdoings of the Unification Family were forgiven. Recently I called all the Thirty-Six Couples and forgave them all.</p>

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on, if for some reason you fail to be on the list of those going to Heaven, you will be out forever. You all have your trinities, don’t you? The Thirty-Six Couples, Seventy-Two Couples and 124 Couples all have the responsibility to call on their trinities and set them straight. Until now you have all lived irresponsibly, even though you are brothers and sisters.</p>

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">All of you should not sleep at all for twenty-four hours on one day and just work hard. Do you think you will be sleeping in the spirit world? When we consider the fact that in the spirit world spirits are doing nothing else except concentrating on this work, we should work hard and remember our duties as we approach the era of the realm of kings of families, so that we will not be ashamed in front of them. Everything that I say will become like mottos in the spirit world and will be recorded. There is no excuse you can give once you have gone to the spirit world. You cannot say, “we didn’t know.” I have already told you very clearly. You should all know that if you don’t keep to these words, you will never be able to enter this realm of blessing.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">No matter who is entering heaven, no one can harbor two minds in his/her mind. They should only know God and True Parents. From now on you have to start living strict lives. I have lived like that all my life. I indemnified all the happenings of thousands of years in one generation, and you should all follow what I did in one step.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">개인, 가정, 종족, 민족, 국가, 세계, 우주, 천주의 8단계 십자가 시대를 넘어서려면 자기라는 이름이 있을 수 없습니다. 이름까지 잃어버리고, 성까지도 한국 사람이면 다 잊어버려야 됩니다. 그래서 원초적인 만물과 같이 되어야 합니다. 원초적인 만물에 이름이 있었어요, 무엇이 있었어요? 의식이 있었어요? 그와 같은 자리에서 재창조되어야 합니다.</p>
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to surmount the eight stages of the cross, individual, familial, clan, tribal, national, global, universal and cosmic, you must forget your name. You have to lose your name, your surname, even your nationality. In doing so you will become like the basic creation. When beings were first created, did they have names? What did they have? Did they have consciousness? Only when you are in that position can you be re-created.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">그렇게 될 때 참부모가 승리한 모든 것을 몽땅 전수해 줄 수 있는 것입니다. 자기를 중심삼고 3대를 모두 다 연결시켜야 합니다. 그래야 3대를 잃어버렸던 하나님이 지상과 천상의 통일적인 기반을 가지실 수 있다는 것이 원리관입니다. 자, 다시 읽으라구!</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Only when you are in such a position can True Parents bequeath all their victories to you. Centering on yourselves you have to connect the three generations. The principle tells you that with the connection of the three generations, God, who had lost the three generations, can finally have a foundation of a unified heaven and earth.

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">(일심!) 본래는 일심세계가 되어야 됩니다. 일심! 몸도 하나되고 마음도 하나되어야 했습니다. 타락함으로 말미암아 일심(一心) 일체(一體) 일념(一念)이 갈라졌습니다. 몸과 마음이 싸우고 생각이 달라졌다구요. 본연의 일심! 하나님과 같이 하나의 마음과 하나의 몸과 하나의 이념이어야 합니다. 그 이념이라는 것이 지상·천상천국의 해방적 가정정착을 말하는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(One mind!) Fundamentally the world should become a world of one mind. One mind! The body and the mind were supposed to become one. Because of the Fall, one mind, one body and one mindset all became separate things. The body fights with the mind and they don’t agree on anything. The original one mind! Just like God you should all have one mind, one body and one mindset. That idea is the liberated settlement of families in both heaven and earth.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">가정입니다. 하나님의 생각이 뭐였겠어요? 창조해 가지고 하나님의 가정정착입니다. 여러분의 생각이 그래야 돼요. 먹으나 사나 가정정착입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is the family. What do you think was God’s original idea? It was to bring about the settlement of God’s family after creating them. You should also have the same idea. No matter what you are doing, always remember the settlement of families.</p>
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"> 창조 처음부터 과정도, 지금까지 탕감복귀 섭리의 재창조 섭리도 전부다 아담이 실수한 이후에 잃어버렸던 자리를 찾기 위해서도 이와 같은 심정적 기준을 다시 창조해 내지 않으면 안 되는 것입니다. 아담이 창조해야 합니다. 하나님이 안 해줘요. 부모님이 안 해 줍니다. 부모님의 등을 타고 어디나 맘대로 날아갔지만 이제는 그렇지 않습니다. 자기가 날아가야 합니다. 자기나라는 자기가 세워야 하는 거예요. 자기 씨족은 자기가 해야 된다구요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We have to re-create such a standard of the heart in order to restore the process of creation from the very beginning, the providence of re-creation, which is also the providence of restoration through indemnity, as well as the position lost due to Adam’s mistake. Adam should be the one who creates it. God will not do it for him. True Parents will not do it for him. Until now everything was done by True Parents, and we were just carried on their backs while they did all their work, but it will not be like that from now on. You have to do your own work. You have to build your own nation. You have to take care of your own tribe.</p>
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">

||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그래서 축복중심가정, 천일국 주인 우리가정이에요. 재림주 가정, 하나님까지도 결혼식 해줘야 하고, 하나님까지도 재창조한 주인, 천사장 이상의 자리에 올라가서 하나님을 해방한 자리에 서 있기 때문에 하나님이 타락하지 않고, 아담 해와를 축복해 주던 그 마음을 계승해 가지고 거짓 사랑이 아니라 참사랑을 그냥 그대로 사랑에 연결시킬 수 있는 것을 알아야 합니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why we say central blessed families, and that our families are the owners of the Cheon Il Guk. Now we have to bring about the wedding of God and the family of the second messiah, and stand in the position of the owners who have even re-created God. Our position will be higher than even that of the archangels, and we will stand in a position whereby we have liberated God. We will then inherit God’s heart the way it would have been if he had blessed Adam and Eve who had not fallen. You all have to know that it is not false love but true love which will be connected to the love that exists.</p>
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">부모님으로 말미암아 인류는 전부다 재창조한 아담해와 이전의 자리에 올라간다는 것입니다. 그런 자리에서 축복을 해 주었기 때문에 천사세계, 사탄세계는 완전히 굴복을 해야 된다는 것입니다. 관계가 없다는 거예요. 핏줄이 거기서부터 가정적 정착을 했기 때문에 사탄세계는 그런 기반이 없기 때문에 전부다 물러가야 돼요. 사탄세계 주변에 지배하던 영들이 전부다 보따리 싸 가지고 지금 수평이 벌어집니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Through the True Parents, humankind will be restored to the positions of Adam and Eve before the Fall, in other words, in the position of re-created Adam and Eve. In such positions they will receive the Blessing, and so the angelic world and the satanic world will have to completely submit to Heaven. There will not be a connection between humankind and these two kinds of worlds anymore. Humankind’s lineage will make a complete settlement of families, and since the satanic world does not have such a foundation, it will have to pass away. All the spirits in control of the satanic world and its nether realms will have to pack up and leave, and a great leveling-out will take place.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">천국, 위에 있던 것이 낙원에 떨어져서 수평이 되는 거예요. 이것을 중심삼고 이제부터 경계선이 되어서 마음대로 못 갑니다. 경계선이 되어 가지고 타락한 세계의 천사들은 낙원의 별동부대, 하늘나라의 낙원권내에 세워주는 것입니다. 세워 줘 가지고 상대적 입장이 이렇게 되어 있기 때문에 여기를 중심삼고 하나님은 사탄세계 천사세계의 가정을 붙들어야 되고, 참부모는 전부다 지상세계 가정을 중심삼고 교체된 것을 수평화 시켜야 된다는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Heaven, the highest realm, will come down and become level with paradise. Centering on this the border will be formed, which will prevent people from going where they would like to go. With the border, angels from the fallen world will be brought into paradise, into the realm of paradise in heaven, to be part of a flying column. Once they are in their positions, their roles will be reversed from what they were doing before, and so centering on them God can now hold onto the families in the satanic and angelic world, and True Parents will be able to centralize the families on earth and level what was replaced.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그래야 비로소 전부다 하나된 천국에 들어가서 수평화 되기 때문에 본연의 창조의 이성성상의 중화적 존재의 자리에 서서 형태를 입지 않았던 것이 참부모가 남성격 주체로 재차 창조함으로 말미암아, 아담이 실수한 모든 것을 다시 복귀해 세웠기 때문에 비로소 형태를 갖지 않은 하나님이 해방된 몸을 쓰고 지상·천상세계를 지배할 수 있는 시대로 넘어가는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Only then can all enter into Heaven and be level and stand in the position of the neutral being with the dual characteristics as at the time of creation. What was formless will then be re-created into a male subject by the True Parents, through which every occurrence brought about by Adam’s mistake will be restored and set right. Only then can we enter an era in which God, who previously had no form, will be able to have a liberated body and rule over heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그럼으로 말미암아 성상 형상의 중화적 존재 격으로서는 남성격을 완결해 가지고 사탄이 없는 하나님이 절대 일방통행 할 수 있는 권한을 중심하고 천상·지상천국을 중심삼고 출발할 수 있다는 것을 알아야 합니다. 이게 전부 이론적이에요. 그걸 확실히 알고 거기에 걸리지 않도록 노력해야 합니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should all know that only when what I described above happens, the neutral being with the dual characteristics perfects his male characteristics, and God will have absolute authority and start anew centering on heaven and earth, without Satan. This is all based on theology. You should all know this clearly and ensure you don’t run foul of this law.</p>

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">이것이 공론이 아니에요. 틀림없이 역사를 연구하게 되면 그거 찾아 올라가는 것입니다. 어떻게 전 세계적인 것을 알아 가지고 선생님 말씀한 것이 전부 딱딱딱딱 다 맞아떨어지고 옳다고 쌍수를 들고 만세, 해방만세를 할 수 있는 이런 내용의 진리가 지금까지 사탄의 반대를 받아 묻혀 가지고, 권위가 있지만 힘없이 묻혀있던 것이 폭발될 수 있는 시대에 들어간다는 것입니다. 자기들이 전부다 원자탄이 빵 때려 가지고, 자기가 먼저 맞아서 벼락이 떨어지는 그런 입장에 서지 말라는 것입니다. 자기는 수양해 가지고 내용을 알고, 이런 결과가 된다는 것을 바라보고 일했으되 세계에 대한 관이 확실해야 그대로 된다는 것을 알아야 돼요.</p>
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">What I am saying is not pointless. I am sure that if you study history you will be able to see that what I am saying is true. What I am talking about is of the whole world, and everything fits in together so well you have to raise both hands and say “mansei, mansei” for liberation. Now we are entering an era in which all the truths that were buried because of Satan’s opposition, which held authority, but were buried deep within, will explode. Don’t stand in a position where you will be struck by atomic bombs and lightning. You have learned everything, and you have known of the results that will be brought about by your hard work. But in order for everything to happen the way they are meant to be, you have to have a clear idea about the world.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">원리도 얼마만큼은 외워야 됩니다. 훈독회에 참석해서 시간이 많이 간다고 꼬리를 젖고 머리를 젖고 몸뚱이를 젖고, 세상일이 바쁘고 뭐 핑계를 대지만 세상일은 다 허사예요. 그걸 중요시하는 그런 미련한 사람이 되어서는 안 되는 것입니다. 선생님은 오로지 이 뜻을 중심삼고 홀로 나는 화살, 첨단 타깃을 격파하기 위하여 일사불란한 놀음을 해 가지고 여기까지 왔다는 것은 놀라운 사실입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should somehow memorize the Divine Principle. While you are attending hoon dok hae you complain that too much time has passed and you can’t keep your body still, and you give excuses that you are too busy and all, but what you are busy about will be in vain. You should not be so foolish as to think that worldly matters are important. The fact that I have come all this way only centering on this Will, amidst opposition and attacks, is remarkable.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">그렇기 때문에 부모님이 구세주가 아니 될 수 없고, 메시아가 아니 될 수 없고, 재림주가 아니 될 수 없고, 하늘땅을 통일하지 않을 수 없는 거예요. 왜? 하나님 자신도 그렇게 알고 있고 천상세계의 전부가 그렇게 알고 있으니 그 길을 따라가는 것이 지상의 인간들이 필시 가야 할 행로인 것을 절대적으로 지켜나가야 되는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why True Parents are the Savior, the Messiah, and the Lord of the Second Coming. And that is also why they are able to unite Heaven and Earth. Why? Even God knows and all of Heaven and Earth know that that is the right way, and so all people on earth should follow this path and keep to it absolutely.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">이제 축복가정들은 도시에 사는 것이 아니라 자연으로 돌아가 하나님이 만물을 지었던 첫사랑과 더불어 자연을 품고 길러야 합니다. 그것들이 싸워 가지고 종의 멸종이 벌어지는 사실을 내가 지켜 가지고 보호해야 할 책임이 있는 것입니다. 하나님 대신 만물을 사랑하고 인간을 사랑하고 나서야 본래의 주인 자리에 돌아가는 거라구요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on blessed families should not live in cities but go back to nature, and embrace and nurture it with the first love endowed on nature by God as He was creating them. We all have the responsibility to protect the creation from fighting amongst each other and certain species from becoming extinct. Only when we love all creation and all people in God’s stead can we return to our rightful positions as owners.</p>
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">자연을 사랑해야 돼요. 바다를 사랑하고 그 다음엔 산을 사랑하는 거예요. 산수원입니다, 산과 물과 들이에요. 산수원을 사랑해야 돼요. 거기까지 가야 천지만물들이 생물들이 장성하는 것입니다. 우리들이 사랑한 물과 공기와 흙이 영양소를 대 가지고 하나님 대신 본연의 자리로 무성히 자랄 수 있는 축복 받은 땅의 존재로 만들어야 할 책임이 타락한 후손인 우리들에게 있다는 것을 알아야 합니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should love nature. You should love the sea and the mountains. You should love the mountains, the water and the fields. You should love all three. In order for all creation and all living things to grow, you need to love them all. You should all know that you have the responsibility as the descendants of fallen Adam and Eve, to love water, air and earth in God’s stead, so that they will supply nutrients for all things to grow, and all creation will become part of the blessed world where they will grow back into their original places before the Fall.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">아담이 잃어버렸던 것을 찾았으니 아담대신 내가 지켜주고 보호해 줘야 할 책임이 있다는 것입니다. 그래서 선생님이 박물관을 만들어 가지고 앞으로 전부다 곤충이라든가 동물이라든가 하나도 그 종자가 멸종해서는 안 된다는 것입니다. 그것을 다 보호해야 된다는 것입니다. 작은 것은 큰것에 먹히는 거예요. 여러분들에게 다 이빨이 있지요? 동물도 이빨이 있습니다. 맹수도 이빨이 있고 작은 동물도 이빨이 있습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What I am saying is that since we have got back what was lost by Adam, we have the responsibility to protect the creation in Adam’s place. So I am planning to make a museum which will prevent any species, whether of insects or animals, from becoming extinct. We have to protect them all. The smaller are eaten by the bigger. All of you have teeth, right? Animals also have teeth. The beasts of prey, as well as small and helpless animals, have teeth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">참 재미있는 것이 먹이사슬의 균형입니다. 맹수라는 것이 마음대로 새끼를 치지 못 합니다. 2년에 한 번씩 새끼를 칩니다. 사자나 호랑이는 2년 8개월, 3년 가까운 기간에 새끼를 치는 것입니다. 토끼는 석 달에 한 번씩 새끼를 칩니다. 무수히 번식을 해서 식량을 만들고 작은 것은 큰 것에 먹히고 주인 앞에 하나님 대신 키워나가는 거예요. 전부다 창조하는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What is really interesting is the balanced nature of the food chain. Beasts of prey cannot reproduce anytime they want to. They can only reproduce once in two years. In the case of lions and tigers this period is two years and eight months, almost three years. In contrast, rabbits bring forth their young once every three months. By having many offspring, they provide food for the larger beasts and raise their young in God’s stead. They all create.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">

||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">재창조가 그렇잖아요. 아담 해와가 하나님 대신 창조를 하는데, 하나님이 본성적으로 근원이 되어 태어난 만물은 마음이 몸적인 완성을 위해서 협조하는 것과 마찬가지로, 자기의 모든 것을 희생해서라도 투입 봉사하는 것과 마찬가지로 만물은 마음자리에 있는 모든 만물과 같이 몸뚱이를 키우는 놀음을 해서 희생하는 것입니다. 희생하는 데 하나만이 아니에요. 그 일족 그 일가족, 가정 가정들이 결실이지 개인이 결실이 아니라는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is the way re-creation is. Adam and Eve create in God’s place. The creation was created based on God’s characteristics and so their minds cooperate for the perfection of the body, sometimes sacrificing everything for the body. In the same way, those creations in the position of the mind have to sacrifice themselves in order to nurture the body. It is not only one that sacrifices itself. What I am saying is that it does not happen at the individual level, but in the family and tribe.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Greek philosophy looks at the world as being in constant struggle with itself. It states that all things regard each other as enemies, but they are not enemies. It is because of the Fall that such ideas have come about. Das Kapital and the dialectic, which are the principles of Communism, state that development comes about through struggle, but that is not true; struggle is not the answer.</p>

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Even the vilest germs disappear when faced with several of their natural enemies. Do you understand what I mean by natural enemy? A tiger is the natural enemy of a dog. When a dog sees a tiger, it freezes and trembles and crawls back to its dwelling to hide. What is not known is that natural enemies balance each other and take care of everything that comes in the way.</p>

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The same can be said for doctors today. They cut and slice in order to cure diseases. That is why I am going to make a unified medical science, which will be the combination of eastern and western medicines. It will be a protective medical science. I believe that by using the notion of natural enemies we can protect ourselves in advance, so that we can be liberated from all diseases even without coming under the knife.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Centering on God’s love, we were not meant to cut and carve and slice our bodies. How complicated will it be for us to march toward a new world, in which all beings of heaven and earth become one, when we know all these things and try to abide by it? There will be endless fights along the way. Some may even turn back when they encounter such fights, but you should overcome them all. When there are fights, instead of shirking from them, you should absorb them and grow. You should be free from them. You should move from the position of the individual and family to higher places. Through this we will be able to move from the era of kings of families into the era of kings of clans.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그렇게 크는 것입니다. 종족왕에서 민족왕, 민족왕에서 국가왕, 국가왕에서 천주왕까지 되면 해방의 자리에 가기 때문에 병이라는 것은 생사지권을 관여할 수 없게 됩니다. 해방세계로 넘어간다는 것입니다. 세계는 그렇게 되는 것입니다. 주인이 없습니다. 주인이 우리라는 것을 알아야 돼요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is how you will grow. From kings of clans you will grow to kings of tribes, nations, and the cosmos. Once you reach that position, you are now in a position of liberation, and so there will be no diseases that can harm you in any way. What I am saying is that you will enter a liberated world. The world will become like that. You should bear in mind that there are no other owners except ourselves.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">그래서 지금 선생님 앞에 보고해 주는 것입니다. 알겠어요? (예) 꿈이 아니에요. 사실 이상 몇천배 이상 믿어야 거기에 합당할 수 있는 사람이 될지 모릅니다. 그런데 80%도 50%도 못 믿어 가지고, 왔다갔다해 가지고 뭐 어떻고 어떻고….</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why I am telling you all this. Do you understand? (Yes) What I am talking about is not a dream. You will have to believe even more incredible things than this, some stories which are thousands of times more incredible. Only then can you become people fitted to walk this path. But some people cannot believe eighty or even fifty percent of what I tell you, and so you titter and go other places and come back and there are such goings on.</p>

He encourages scholars and unification members, and in order to introduce us to a direct road towards God, he is sending messages and revealing the actual conditions of the spirit world. You must know that you have to believe even ten times, or even hundred times, of what is told to you. Only then will your positions have something to do with the world and the spirit world.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">This will all be over when God has a wedding and birth registration. Heaven is on my right and hell used to be on my left, but now hell has disappeared. Instead, it is the realm of paradise. I can call at any time to use the spirits in the realm of paradise. Everyone is waiting for my orders.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The basis of the cosmos is that God with the dual characteristics is a neutral being, and rank-wise He is the Male Subject. In other words He is the Father. The providence of restoration is giving God a physical form as the father. Today we are entering an era in which even in the spirit world True Parents and God will be able to appear in physical form to give directions. We are entering a new era where instructions will be broadcast. Just like the internet age, proclamations will be made around the world at the same time through e-mail.</p>

What is written there? Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity Learner Card! That means we have to prepare in advance. That is how we can be perfected. From there we move on to the liberation of era of individual and of families and each and every one will be in a different grade, centering on your tribe. It will not be the same. Learner Card! That means you have to practice in advance.</p>

Moon’s teachings can you find the answers to all these problems.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now when the road is open and I address the UN General Assembly, there will be typhoons and strong winds which will blow through the whole world and heaven and earth, there will be lightning and tornadoes.

|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The people who have come here and worked hard should make farms and breeding grounds and orchards and build a heaven without owners, so that the people passing by can pick a fruit or two and enjoy it. That is not a dream. It will be like that. You should keep such thoughts in your minds and try to live like that, and try to stand in the position of the subject and act like owners and treat others well. Only then can you follow True Father as he goes to the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그렇지 않으면 제까닥 걸려버려요. 설명이 필요 없습니다. 영계에 다 자기들 기록된 사실이 있는데 여기에 걸려서는 안 됩니다. 그건 자기가 넘어서야지 선생님이 협조하지 못합니다. 아담 해와와 마찬가지예요. 천사장 형님의 자리도 걸리는 거예요. 확실히 알기 위해서 재차 세뇌수업해서 잊어버려서는 안 되겠습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you don’t do that, your way will be blocked. No explanations are needed. There are records for each and every one of you in the spirit world, so you should not be caught transgressing the law. Any obstacle you encounter you will have to surmount by yourself; True Father cannot help you. It is just like the time of Adam and Eve. Even the archangel himself will be in trouble if he is caught transgressing the law. In order to know it by heart, don’t forget to study over and over again.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The spirit world which was divided into different realms of heaven, paradise and hell will become level. Just as water is level, since you need an object, you should put them in the object position and they should be loyal to you. They should be loyal to you from this end. So you will pass through heaven and paradise and hell and come back to the original position. Only then can you cross the border set by the angelic world, where it is a vacuum and no air passes through.</p>
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">지금 교차되어서 상하가 전부 엇갈려 있습니다. 여러분들이 개인시대부터 천주시대까지 8단계를 거쳐 수평이 되어 개인시대 가정시대 종족시대를 이루고, 개인시대왕권, 가정시대왕권을 합쳐 자리를 잡음으로 말미암아 비로소 8단계가 평행선이 되어 지상 나선형으로서 영원한 천국이 계속되는 것입니다. 이론적으로 다 맞는 말입니다. 맹목적인 말이 아니에요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now everything is crisscross and highs and lows are all mixed together. When you pass through the eight stages from the individual era to the cosmic era, the world will become level. And then you will be able to fulfill the individual era, the familial era and the clan era, and achieve the kingship of the individual era and the familial era, and attain a position. Then the eight stages you have passed through become parallel lines and like a spiral from the earth, an eternal heaven will be kept up. These words are all according to theory; they are not spoken thoughtlessly.</p>

Now we have entered an era in which all the nations of the world will welcome the Unification Church. When a wild olive tree is grafted, it takes only three years for it to bear true olives. Wherever you go in the world, you will be welcomed with open arms and the satanic world and the earth will all become citizens of Heaven. They will all become one, and form a unified world in which God can be served as the King with royal authority. Amen! [Amen!]

|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">By centering on your families, the mother and the father are the king and queen of the family and of the clan. When you restore that kingship which had been lost, and you set it again from the bottom, you will stand in the position of the king in God’s stead. Since you have done True Parents’ work, who have registered a new place of birth for you, you will become part of True Parents’ family and will enter the Kingdom of Heaven with them. You will stand in the position of liberation. It will be for eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">여러분들이 앞으로 실수해서 영계에 가게 되면 선생님 앞에 못 갑니다. 딱 그 자리에 머물기 때문에 어떻게 선생님을 만나겠어요? 하나님 앞에서 담이 있으면 되겠어요? 일체가 되어야지요. 이제는 쓸고 닦아 몸 마음이 하나님이 임할 수 있는 성전이 되어야 합니다. 하나님이 찾아와 기다릴 수 있게끔 해야 할 것이 통일가의 축복 받은 선배가정들의 권위다 그거예요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on when you make a mistake, once you come to the spirit world you cannot come in front of me. You will have to stay where you are, so how will you come to me? Should there be a wall in front of God? No. You should become one. Now you should clean both your mind and your body so that you can be the temple in which God can reside. The elder blessed families of the Unification Family should make it so that God will come to them and wait to enter their bodies and minds. It is their privilege.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그 일을 완결해서 바쳐드려야만 자기들까지도 3대권, 하나님 1대, 아담 2대, 3대의 가정으로서 부모님 대신 가정의 자리에 서 가지고 천일국 중심가정으로서 해방되어야 되는 것입니다. 그러나 책임분담을 완성하지 못하면 못 넘어서는 것입니다. 여러분들은 7년까지는 가야합니다. 그것이 공식적이에요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When they complete this task and offer themselves, they can stand in the position of the family True Parents’ stead and be liberated as the central families of the Cheon Il Guk, in three generations, God being the first, Adam the second, and blessed families the third generation. Yet this will not happen if they do not fulfill their responsibilities. You will have to walk this path for at least seven years. That is the procedure.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">그 모든 방대한 것이 어떻게 이런 한 일련의 체계에 의해 시작해 가지고 연대적 관계가 방향이 맞고, 결과에 일치될 수 있는 내용을 어떻게 결론지을 수 있겠느냐 하는 것입니다. 여러분은 몰라요. 그건 참부모만이 아는 것입니다. 아담은 장성기 완성급에 서 있기 때문에 완성에 대해서 모릅니다. 그건 선생님만이 개발한 것입니다. 하나님이 하지 못하고, 하나님이 원하지 않는 것까지 생각하고 있는 것입니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The question then arises: how can such a vast thing start from this single system, and how can the relationships of generations fit together and the results answer for the paths taken? You do not know. True Parents are the only people who know the answer. Adam is standing at the completion period of the growth stage, and so he does not know about perfection. I am the person who came up with that. I am even thinking about what God cannot do, and what He does not want.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">그러기 때문에 부모님을 해방하고 천지의 대왕마마를 해방해야 돼요. 입적할 수 있는 나라와 그 출생기지에 만민의 축복의 조상으로 세워 가지고 계대적인 기준이 자동적으로 천국에 연결되어 만세가, 해방천국이 천년만년 태평성대 하나님의 사랑의 왕궁이 되느니라―. 아멘이에요. [아멘!] 선생님의 말씀이 틀림없습니다. 기록해서 들어보라는 거예요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why True Parents and the King of Heaven and Earth have to be liberated. You will be set as the ancestor of the Blessing in the nation where you were registered and you will have birth registrations. The standards according to the generations will be connected automatically to heaven, and for eternity the liberated heaven will become the kingdom of love of God. Amen! [Amen!] Mark my words, because they will come true. Record them and listen to them.</p>

||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">지금 문총재가 하는 것은 조상이 아니에요. 혈족입니다. 자기 책임이 있는 것입니다. 루시엘이면 루시엘, 공자면 공자로서 책임 추궁 받는 것입니다. 4대 성인들도 영계에서 지상의 교파 만들듯이 하나 만들려고 하게 되어 있습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What Rev. Moon is doing right now is not for the ancestors, but the kinship. Each one has his/her own responsibility. Whether it is Lucifer or Confucius, they will all be asked to answer for their own responsibility. Even the Four Great Saints in heaven are trying to become one just as they would have done on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">천상세계 지상세계 연합해 가지고 전부다 통일시킬 수 있는 인맥을 선생님이 배치할 때가 왔습니다. 내가 배치할 수 있는 권한이 있지만 그들 앞에 배치하라고 하면 배치하게 되어 있습니다. 영계에 믿고 간 선한 영들, 영계에 간 기독교인들 데려다가 전부 하나 만들어야 합니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now the time has come for me to place the people who will unite all with the help of heaven and earth. I have the authority to appoint whomever I want to, but if I tell them to appoint the people, they will do so. All the good spirits who believed in the spirit world, and the Christians in the spirit world should all be brought together and united into one.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">두고 보라구요. 원리말씀이 이제 공개되고 선포되어 가지고 언론계가 들고 일어서면 6개월 이내에…. 원자탄 수소탄보다 몇 백배 더 무서울 수 있는 무기라는 거예요. 사탄이 언론계를 선동해 국권을 중심삼고 세계를 선전함으로 말미암아 방어했던 것을 한꺼번에 틀어 나가는 것입니다. 내가 워싱턴 타임스, UPI통신을 인수해 미국 언론계의 왕초의 자리에 있습니다. 미국의 국방성이든 국무성이든 내가 손대게 되면 문제가 벌어질 수 있는 내용을 다 갖고 있습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You just watch: when the Divine Principle is made public and declared and the media make noise, it will take less than six months. It will be a scarier weapon, maybe even several hundred times scarier, than atomic and nuclear bombs. What Satan had prevented until now by taking hold of the media and holding in the world, will all flow out at once.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">누구든 피해를 보게 되면 내가 보호할 수 있는, 그래서 환영할 수 있도록 쓰는 거예요. 자기를 위해서 쓰는 것이 아니에요. 세상을 위해서 만들었지 선생님을 위해 한번도 써보지 않았어요. 한국정부가, 한국 교계가, 미국과 세계가 반대해도 가만히 있는 거예요.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I will use that information to protect anyone who suffers, and so welcome them to my side. I will not use it for my own good. I made them for the world and not for me. That is why I am not acting even now as the Korean government, the Korean religious sector, the United States and the world are opposing me.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">하나님은 참부모가 참고 때를 기다려 자동적으로 밤이 익어 떨어지기를 바라는 것입니다. 이제 그럴 때가 됐습니다. 그럴 수 있는 참 밤알이 되어야 우수수 바람이 불면 다 떨어지는 거예요. 그 말은 바람이 불어야 떨어진다는 것입니다. 이 세상에 자기가 설 수 있는 참 밤알이 되고 자기 자리를 찾아 부활할 수 있는 완충기관을 적절히 써먹어야 할 지혜로운 영계 육계의 축복가정이 될지어다―.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God wants True Parents to wait patiently until the fruit is ripe and it can be harvested. Now the time has come. When the right fruits are ripe they will fall with the help of the wind. By that I mean they will fall only when the wind blows. You should all become the blessed families of the spirit world and the physical world, who become the true fruits and are wise enough to be resurrected to their rightful places.</p>

|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Resumed hoondok)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">절대 믿어야 됩니다. 하나님의 창조의 처음 말씀대로 되는 것과 마찬가지로 절대신앙 절대사랑 절대복종, 거기에는 이의가 없습니다. 내 오관 십관을 함께 해서 전부다 불사르기를 바라고 보따리 싸서 기다려야 합니다. 그래야 탕감복귀를 할 수 있습니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You must have complete faith. Just as it will become like the very beginning of the creation when God spoke His first words, there is nothing else to it except absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. You should burn all that ties you to the past and pack your bags and wait. Only then can you be restored through indemnity.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(말씀훈독)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Resumed hoondok)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">이게 엇갈리면 폐기가 됩니다. 8단계 전부다 거꾸로 되면 전부가 폐기가 된다구요. 상충적 기준을 전부다 수평으로 만들어 줘야 할 책임이 있다는 것입니다. 아담이 다 잘못했으니까, 아담가정 대신해서 하늘땅 대신해서 책임 할 수 있는 전체 동원권 내에 동행해야 됩니다. 천태만상이 있습니다. 이제 전승자로서 하늘이 축복해주는 그런 해방시대가 온다는 놀라운 사실을 알아야 합니다.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When this does not come right it will become useless. If all the eight stages are reversed, it will all become useless. We have the responsibility to level all standards that contradict each other. Since Adam made a mistake, we should take the responsibility upon ourselves in place of Adam’s family and heaven and earth, and all come together in the realm of total mobilization. There is great diversity. Now as the victors, you should all know the incredible fact that an era of liberation blessed by Heaven is coming.</p>

|
||||
10 May 2003</h3>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Forty-three days from today, it will be the summer solstice. We have forty-three days to June 22nd, during which time the Unification Family should prepare itself.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;"> What is interesting about today is that it is Hyunjin (nim)’s birthday. The day and time fit together like that. All the treatment I’ve been undergoing is over, and even my eyes are like new. Therefore you should all know today is a very important day, since it marks our entering an era for a new start.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The day I offered the Prayer was the 4th, wasn’t it? So today is the 6th day from the day of prayer, isn’t it? Including the 4th, today is the 7th day, right? Today we are passing through the 7th day. You should all know that we are entering a new era with this day.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Prayer I offered, was it recorded well? [It was recorded, but it was passed on to Dr. Yang, who sent it to the Unification Church History Committee to be transcribed there. (Rev. Peter Kim)] So it isn’t here? [It was sent to Korea. (Rev. Hyo Yul Kim)] We should all read it again and know what era we are living through at the moment. [There are still forty-three days left till the summer solstice. (True Mother)]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Settlement of Noon (the time when no shadow is cast)! In Korea we have a special holiday called Dahn Oh. That is the day on which the lunch hour is the shortest. This day is May 5th. Through that daywe are entering a new era of liquidating everything we have. Now we are entering an era in which the people of the world will fight with each other in order to serve us. Therefore during this period the whole Unification church should offer all they have to the church as the Total Offering. There should be no property under your name.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Settlement of Noon happens centering on the day with the shortest afternoon hours, and that is why you should renounce all your rights of ownership. From now on we should all transcend all customs and traditions of the world, and become one with the physical world centering on the spirit world, just as we have pledged through Family Pledge verse 5. You are all responsible to do so.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The words Central Families of the Cheon Il Guk mean that all the blessed families in the world and all people have restored the positions of fallen Adam and Eve, so that now they stand as they did before the Fall. Once that is done, the central families will enter a new era when they will be able to register their births and marriages.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Until now you could not register your births and marriages, but now the time will come when you can do both, and so inherit everything achieved by True Parents. You should not hold ownership for anything you have if you want your inheritance. There should be nothing left to your name to be inherited. That is because you have to stand in the position of being reborn. Even if there are tens of billions of people in the world, they will all be reborn at the same time. The perfect day on which we enter this important new era is today, May 10th.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In the mineral world there are subjects and objects, in the plant world there are subjects and objects, in the animal world there are subjects and objects, and even in the human world there are subjects and objects. All beings consisting of subjects and objects fell, and because of that our mind and body fight with each other. This fight has been expanded to the world level, and so recently there was a war between Iraq and the United States, but President Bush has taken care of that.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on what will make controlling the world more difficult is that the era we live in is degrading, from the global level to the national level to the tribal level to the clan level. That is why even though the United Nations and the United States are trying hard to unite the world, it is not happening.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now we the Unification church have declared the Settlement of Noon and are starting afresh, and so now we are entering a new era in which all of us can be punished if we break the heavenly law by not leading righteous lives. In the era of the Settlement of Noon, all the blessed families stand in the position of the Lord of the Second Advent. That position is even higher than that of the Archangel. Passing through the formation, growth and completion stage, now we are standing at a higher position of love than even that of the archangels, and so now we can liberate God.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In this era there is no owner of the world. Now we have to appoint new owners and enter the era of the Settlement of Noon. The day on which we do this is May 10th. How many days was it from the 26th to the 10th? Was it a month, or forty-something days? [It has been over one-and-a-half months. It is almost two months now. (True Mother)] Forty-what days? [When we count the days, from March 16th, April 16th, May 16th would mark two months. (True Mother)] [It is fifty-five days. (Rev. Peter Kim)] Fifty-five days, what a coincidence! It’s the same number repeated twice.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is how we are entering a new era. The numbers and such things all fit together amazingly. Moreover, today is Hyunjin(nim)’s birthday. You should all know that this ceremony is being performed to commemorate such a special day.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What does the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic Parents and the Parents of Heaven and Earth mean? Adam’s mistake completely destroyed the Kingdom of Heaven and the throne for God’s Coronation. Today is the day we restore all that and start anew. Only when you become families who fulfill the Family Pledge can you enter the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After performing this ceremony, we should all make a resolution to do so. This will weaken and destroy the satanic world. They will start fighting amongst themselves. Religious and racial wars may simultaneously break out, and it is I who do my best to ensure that does not occur.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The UN does not have its own nation. That is why we should build a UN nation. All wickedness in the world should be dealt with in according with laws to be determined at the UN. The era of individuals and nations will now become part of the past.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">There are no owners in the UN either. If we unite together as warriors to find the owners of the UN, and the more united we are, the shorter the time it will take. We are doing our best to make an Abel UN by the end of this year. Where was it? Was it Indonesia? [It was the Philippines.] This September we will present a new Resolution at the UN General Assembly centering on the Philippines’ National Assembly President, and we are doing all we can in every way to ensure it is passed at the UN Assembly.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Once that resolution is passed, the restored Kingdom of Heaven will open up in front of our eyes. The wild olive tree growing on the other side of the wall will be cut and grafted onto the True Olive Tree, and then it will also bear true olives. Three years after engraftment, the tree will bear fruit.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When the people from the neighboring nations see the trees bearing true fruits, they will climb over the wall to steal the branches so that they can also engraft them. They will fight with each other to steal them, if need be. Just like this, when the three generations are all connected together and blessed, it will spread out in the world and grow larger automatically. Therefore the era of liberation will come when the road leading directly to the Kingdom of Heaven will be opened through families, Amen! Remember these words.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><Prayer> Heavenly father, the Absolute Realm of the Ideal of Reciprocity centering on this day May 10th has come to pass today with the restoration planned by Heaven. The Original Garden was supposed to pass through spring and summer and be harvested in autumn by You, but was lost. Now it has been restored by Adam, and the last day on which the satanic world and the heavenly world become divided completely through indemnity is today May 10th. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to announce a new beginning, the Settlement of Noon.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now we will correct the era in which we lacked so many things, and with the declaration of True Parents’ new liberation and centering on the Day of the Settlement of Noon, the families of heaven and earth have all come together under our Heavenly Father. We offer you the condition of all nations’ restoration, in this place where we are restoring everything that failed after the creation, and with the UN, we are inheriting all the victories of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Moreover, now the time has come when hell is transformed into heaven, so Heavenly Father, please watch over all heaven and earth freely from this day! On this great day when Your eternal grief turns to joy, please rule over all nations and start anew as the Eternal King, Parent and Owner of Heaven and Earth!</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Centering on the Holy Wedding performed on True Parents’ Birthday this year, God and all the blessed families in heaven and on earth all became one to liberate the ancestors. Please allow the liberated ancestors to go to the Heaven created by the True Parents, with the condition that they are the representatives of Adam.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Thank you again for allowing all the blessed families of heaven and earth, and all people in the spirit world and the physical world, in paradise and hell, to live their lives according to the resolution we have signed. As of this day, I declare the liberation of the Settlement of Noon, the liberation of all nations in the physical and spiritual world, the liberation of eternity and the liberation of all ownership, so please watch over us all. I report and declare this in True Parents’ name to the Parent in Heaven, and I hope you will accept it as I report this. Amen, Amen, Amen!</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on you should tread your paths wisely. You can’t do everything as you please. If you do, your sons and daughters will pay indemnity for your actions. Otherwise you will block the paths of your whole family. The time will come when you cannot live the way you want to. Do you understand what I am trying to say? The era in which we could live any way we want is over. We must live according to our Pledge.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now I am trying to do away with hell. Now the law is set so that if the standard of your life does not correspond that of Heaven, you cannot enter because there is a threshold which you cannot cross. That is why all the wrongdoings of the Unification Family were forgiven. Recently I called all the Thirty-Six Couples and forgave them all.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on, if for some reason you fail to be on the list of those going to Heaven, you will be out forever. You all have your trinities, don’t you? The Thirty-Six Couples, Seventy-Two Couples and 124 Couples all have the responsibility to call on their trinities and set them straight. Until now you have all lived irresponsibly, even though you are brothers and sisters.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The problem here is whether you can be registered as someone from the Royal Family who will enter the Palace of the Kingdom of Heaven and build loving relationships between brothers and sisters. I hope you will all do your best to fulfill your responsibilities, knowing that now we are walking toward the era in which whether we live or die will be judged.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Hyo Yul (Rev. Peter Kim), you know everything that happened in the past, don’t you? You know all about everything we have done after declaring indemnity in the Original Focus Holy Ground, the Root Holy Ground and the Victory Holy Ground in Jardim. You should not just doubt anyone! Do you understand? [Yes]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">All of you should not sleep at all for twenty-four hours on one day and just work hard. Do you think you will be sleeping in the spirit world? When we consider the fact that in the spirit world spirits are doing nothing else except concentrating on this work, we should work hard and remember our duties as we approach the era of the realm of kings of families, so that we will not be ashamed in front of them. Everything that I say will become like mottos in the spirit world and will be recorded. There is no excuse you can give once you have gone to the spirit world. You cannot say, “we didn’t know.” I have already told you very clearly. You should all know that if you don’t keep to these words, you will never be able to enter this realm of blessing.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">No matter who is entering heaven, no one can harbor two minds in his/her mind. They should only know God and True Parents. From now on you have to start living strict lives. I have lived like that all my life. I indemnified all the happenings of thousands of years in one generation, and you should all follow what I did in one step.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to surmount the eight stages of the cross, individual, familial, clan, tribal, national, global, universal and cosmic, you must forget your name. You have to lose your name, your surname, even your nationality. In doing so you will become like the basic creation. When beings were first created, did they have names? What did they have? Did they have consciousness? Only when you are in that position can you be re-created.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Only when you are in such a position can True Parents bequeath all their victories to you. Centering on yourselves you have to connect the three generations. The principle tells you that with the connection of the three generations, God, who had lost the three generations, can finally have a foundation of a unified heaven and earth. Now, continue the reading!</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Each one of you has the responsibility to restore your clan, your tribe, your nation, the world and the cosmos. Do you understand that? Everything cannot be transformed at the same time.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Lineage, it is the total conversion of the lineage! Now your lineage is like the wild olive tree, it has been violated. The lineage should be converted to the True Olive Tree. What I am saying is that the consciousness that you are the sons and daughters of True Parents, who have inherited the absolute true love, absolute true life, and absolute true lineage should be more real to you than your position, even if you are a nation’s high official, a minister, or even a president.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">To reach that position would be very difficult, wouldn’t it? You have to go through suffering. Just as I packed my things and traveled around the world and established the foundation, you should take responsibility for your tribes and your nation, and know that if North Korea and South Korea are not united, the world cannot become one.</p>

[Family!] It’s not as the owners of the Cheon Il Guk our heavenly father, or True Parents. As the owners of the Cheon Il Guk, our families should inherit all the victories of True Parents through your lineage. Don’t sons and daughters take after their parents? You should make that possible.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(One mind!) Fundamentally the world should become a world of one mind. One mind! The body and the mind were supposed to become one. Because of the Fall, one mind, one body and one mindset all became separate things. The body fights with the mind and they don’t agree on anything. The original one mind! Just like God you should all have one mind, one body and one mindset. That idea is the liberated settlement of families in both heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is the family. What do you think was God’s original idea? It was to bring about the settlement of God’s family after creating them. You should also have the same idea. No matter what you are doing, always remember the settlement of families.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We have to re-create such a standard of the heart in order to restore the process of creation from the very beginning, the providence of re-creation, which is also the providence of restoration through indemnity, as well as the position lost due to Adam’s mistake. Adam should be the one who creates it. God will not do it for him. True Parents will not do it for him. Until now everything was done by True Parents, and we were just carried on their backs while they did all their work, but it will not be like that from now on. You have to do your own work. You have to build your own nation. You have to take care of your own tribe.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why we say central blessed families, and that our families are the owners of the Cheon Il Guk. Now we have to bring about the wedding of God and the family of the second messiah, and stand in the position of the owners who have even re-created God. Our position will be higher than even that of the archangels, and we will stand in a position whereby we have liberated God. We will then inherit God’s heart the way it would have been if he had blessed Adam and Eve who had not fallen. You all have to know that it is not false love but true love which will be connected to the love that exists.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Through the True Parents, humankind will be restored to the positions of Adam and Eve before the Fall, in other words, in the position of re-created Adam and Eve. In such positions they will receive the Blessing, and so the angelic world and the satanic world will have to completely submit to Heaven. There will not be a connection between humankind and these two kinds of worlds anymore. Humankind’s lineage will make a complete settlement of families, and since the satanic world does not have such a foundation, it will have to pass away. All the spirits in control of the satanic world and its nether realms will have to pack up and leave, and a great leveling-out will take place.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Heaven, the highest realm, will come down and become level with paradise. Centering on this the border will be formed, which will prevent people from going where they would like to go. With the border, angels from the fallen world will be brought into paradise, into the realm of paradise in heaven, to be part of a flying column. Once they are in their positions, their roles will be reversed from what they were doing before, and so centering on them God can now hold onto the families in the satanic and angelic world, and True Parents will be able to centralize the families on earth and level what was replaced.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Only then can all enter into Heaven and be level and stand in the position of the neutral being with the dual characteristics as at the time of creation. What was formless will then be re-created into a male subject by the True Parents, through which every occurrence brought about by Adam’s mistake will be restored and set right. Only then can we enter an era in which God, who previously had no form, will be able to have a liberated body and rule over heaven and earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should all know that only when what I described above happens, the neutral being with the dual characteristics perfects his male characteristics, and God will have absolute authority and start anew centering on heaven and earth, without Satan. This is all based on theology. You should all know this clearly and ensure you don’t run foul of this law.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Who knew about all these fundamental questions about God and His orders? Only when we solve these problems can the problems of humankind be solved. Now that True Parents have revealed all these facts, heaven and earth will now be able to march towards the Liberation of the Settlement of Noon and the Age of God’s Kingdom in Heaven and on Earth when they will have a bright future. Amen![Amen!]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What I am saying is not pointless. I am sure that if you study history you will be able to see that what I am saying is true. What I am talking about is of the whole world, and everything fits in together so well you have to raise both hands and say “mansei, mansei” for liberation. Now we are entering an era in which all the truths that were buried because of Satan’s opposition, which held authority, but were buried deep within, will explode. Don’t stand in a position where you will be struck by atomic bombs and lightning. You have learned everything, and you have known of the results that will be brought about by your hard work. But in order for everything to happen the way they are meant to be, you have to have a clear idea about the world.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should somehow memorize the Divine Principle. While you are attending hoon dok hae you complain that too much time has passed and you can’t keep your body still, and you give excuses that you are too busy and all, but what you are busy about will be in vain. You should not be so foolish as to think that worldly matters are important. The fact that I have come all this way only centering on this Will, amidst opposition and attacks, is remarkable.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why True Parents are the Savior, the Messiah, and the Lord of the Second Coming. And that is also why they are able to unite Heaven and Earth. Why? Even God knows and all of Heaven and Earth know that that is the right way, and so all people on earth should follow this path and keep to it absolutely.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on blessed families should not live in cities but go back to nature, and embrace and nurture it with the first love endowed on nature by God as He was creating them. We all have the responsibility to protect the creation from fighting amongst each other and certain species from becoming extinct. Only when we love all creation and all people in God’s stead can we return to our rightful positions as owners.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You should love nature. You should love the sea and the mountains. You should love the mountains, the water and the fields. You should love all three. In order for all creation and all living things to grow, you need to love them all. You should all know that you have the responsibility as the descendants of fallen Adam and Eve, to love water, air and earth in God’s stead, so that they will supply nutrients for all things to grow, and all creation will become part of the blessed world where they will grow back into their original places before the Fall.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What I am saying is that since we have got back what was lost by Adam, we have the responsibility to protect the creation in Adam’s place. So I am planning to make a museum which will prevent any species, whether of insects or animals, from becoming extinct. We have to protect them all. The smaller are eaten by the bigger. All of you have teeth, right? Animals also have teeth. The beasts of prey, as well as small and helpless animals, have teeth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What is really interesting is the balanced nature of the food chain. Beasts of prey cannot reproduce anytime they want to. They can only reproduce once in two years. In the case of lions and tigers this period is two years and eight months, almost three years. In contrast, rabbits bring forth their young once every three months. By having many offspring, they provide food for the larger beasts and raise their young in God’s stead. They all create.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is the way re-creation is. Adam and Eve create in God’s place. The creation was created based on God’s characteristics and so their minds cooperate for the perfection of the body, sometimes sacrificing everything for the body. In the same way, those creations in the position of the mind have to sacrifice themselves in order to nurture the body. It is not only one that sacrifices itself. What I am saying is that it does not happen at the individual level, but in the family and tribe.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Greek philosophy looks at the world as being in constant struggle with itself. It states that all things regard each other as enemies, but they are not enemies. It is because of the Fall that such ideas have come about. Das Kapital and the dialectic, which are the principles of Communism, state that development comes about through struggle, but that is not true; struggle is not the answer.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Even the vilest germs disappear when faced with several of their natural enemies. Do you understand what I mean by natural enemy? A tiger is the natural enemy of a dog. When a dog sees a tiger, it freezes and trembles and crawls back to its dwelling to hide. What is not known is that natural enemies balance each other and take care of everything that comes in the way.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The same can be said for doctors today. They cut and slice in order to cure diseases. That is why I am going to make a unified medical science, which will be the combination of eastern and western medicines. It will be a protective medical science. I believe that by using the notion of natural enemies we can protect ourselves in advance, so that we can be liberated from all diseases even without coming under the knife.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Centering on God’s love, we were not meant to cut and carve and slice our bodies. How complicated will it be for us to march toward a new world, in which all beings of heaven and earth become one, when we know all these things and try to abide by it? There will be endless fights along the way. Some may even turn back when they encounter such fights, but you should overcome them all. When there are fights, instead of shirking from them, you should absorb them and grow. You should be free from them. You should move from the position of the individual and family to higher places. Through this we will be able to move from the era of kings of families into the era of kings of clans.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is how you will grow. From kings of clans you will grow to kings of tribes, nations, and the cosmos. Once you reach that position, you are now in a position of liberation, and so there will be no diseases that can harm you in any way. What I am saying is that you will enter a liberated world. The world will become like that. You should bear in mind that there are no other owners except ourselves.</p>

You will have to believe even more incredible things than this, some stories which are thousands of times more incredible. Only then can you become people fitted to walk this path. But some people cannot believe eighty or even fifty percent of what I tell you, and so you titter and go other places and come back and there are such goings on.</p>
|

He encourages scholars and unification members, and in order to introduce us to a direct road towards God, he is sending messages and revealing the actual conditions of the spirit world. You must know that you have to believe even ten times, or even hundred times, of what is told to you. Only then will your positions have something to do with the world and the spirit world.</p>

Instead, it is the realm of paradise. I can call at any time to use the spirits in the realm of paradise. Everyone is waiting for my orders. It will be my job to unite the mind and body, which had been separated, and make it possible to attain the position of universal ideal.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Even the spirits in hell can go to heaven through me. When the spirits in hell come to me, they become one with the True Parents, and so can ascend to heaven in a direct line without any obstacles in the way.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The basis of the cosmos is that God with the dual characteristics is a neutral being, and rank-wise He is the Male Subject. In other words He is the Father. The providence of restoration is giving God a physical form as the father. Today we are entering an era in which even in the spirit world True Parents and God will be able to appear in physical form to give directions. We are entering a new era where instructions will be broadcast. Just like the internet age, proclamations will be made around the world at the same time through e-mail.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It all sounds like lies, doesn’t it? In the past there was only I. Not even God can understand. Can God ask me to bless a saint with a murderer? On my birthday of this year we could not have performed the Coronation of the King of the Blessed Families of the Peace and Unity of the Cosmic and the Parents of Heaven and Earth. Only when we united centering on the one lineage could we carry out this ceremony with Him present…</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God had not been able to register His marriage and birth. Did he register, or didn’t he? He does not have a nation. How can He register if he does not have a nation? I went through so much to build the CheonIl Guk, but have you ever thought about the Cheon Il Guk? Do you know what the Cheon Il Guk citizenship cards look like? Do you have them? What is written there? Nation of Cosmic Peace and Unity Learner Card! That means we have to prepare in advance. That is how we can be perfected. From there we move on to the liberation of era of individual and of families and each and every one will be in a different grade, centering on your tribe. It will not be the same. Learner Card! That means you have to practice in advance.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When True Father makes declarations, time shows that what he has been doing is not some underhanded scheme. You should know that we have been working towards a single purpose. There is no one who can reveal how humankind came to be and why we are living the way we are now. Only when you follow Rev. Moon’s teachings can you find the answers to all these problems.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now when the road is open and I address the UN General Assembly, there will be typhoons and strong winds which will blow through the whole world and heaven and earth, there will be lightning and tornadoes. You should be able to stand in the position of the owners, who can look back on the world in chaos and say “farewell world, we are leaving” in God and True Parents’ place.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The people standing here came and went fishing. What is a striped bass? Stripe means a line. So that means the bass has a line on it. There are many basses without a stripe. When we catch this special fish, we give it as a live offering on behalf of humankind. That means that we are doing it to stand in the position of owners who are preventing the extinction of any species by growing their young in large numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The people who have come here and worked hard should make farms and breeding grounds and orchards and build a heaven without owners, so that the people passing by can pick a fruit or two and enjoy it. That is not a dream. It will be like that. You should keep such thoughts in your minds and try to live like that, and try to stand in the position of the subject and act like owners and treat others well. Only then can you follow True Father as he goes to the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If you don’t do that, your way will be blocked. No explanations are needed. There are records for each and every one of you in the spirit world, so you should not be caught transgressing the law. Any obstacle you encounter you will have to surmount by yourself; True Father cannot help you. It is just like the time of Adam and Eve. Even the archangel himself will be in trouble if he is caught transgressing the law. In order to know it by heart, don’t forget to study over and over again.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Resumed hoondok)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The spirit world which was divided into different realms of heaven, paradise and hell will become level. Just as water is level, since you need an object, you should put them in the object position and they should be loyal to you. They should be loyal to you from this end. So you will pass through heaven and paradise and hell and come back to the original position. Only then can you cross the border set by the angelic world, where it is a vacuum and no air passes through.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now everything is crisscross and highs and lows are all mixed together. When you pass through the eight stages from the individual era to the cosmic era, the world will become level. And then you will be able to fulfill the individual era, the familial era and the clan era, and achieve the kingship of the individual era and the familial era, and attain a position. Then the eight stages you have passed through become parallel lines and like a spiral from the earth, an eternal heaven will be kept up. These words are all according to theory; they are not spoken thoughtlessly.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The secular world tried to erect blockades that our Unification Church could not overcome, but we went under and came out through the bottom. Now we have entered an era in which all the nations of the world will welcome the Unification Church. When a wild olive tree is grafted, it takes only three years for it to bear true olives. Wherever you go in the world, you will be welcomed with open arms and the satanic world and the earth will all become citizens of Heaven. They will all become one, and form a unified world in which God can be served as the King with royal authority. Amen! [Amen!]
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">By centering on your families, the mother and the father are the king and queen of the family and of the clan. When you restore that kingship which had been lost, and you set it again from the bottom, you will stand in the position of the king in God’s stead. Since you have done True Parents’ work, who have registered a new place of birth for you, you will become part of True Parents’ family and will enter the Kingdom of Heaven with them. You will stand in the position of liberation. It will be for eternity.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">From now on when you make a mistake, once you come to the spirit world you cannot come in front of me. You will have to stay where you are, so how will you come to me? Should there be a wall in front of God? No. You should become one. Now you should clean both your mind and your body so that you can be the temple in which God can reside. The elder blessed families of the Unification Family should make it so that God will come to them and wait to enter their bodies and minds. It is their privilege.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When they complete this task and offer themselves, they can stand in the position of the family True Parents’ stead and be liberated as the central families of the Cheon Il Guk, in three generations, God being the first, Adam the second, and blessed families the third generation. Yet this will not happen if they do not fulfill their responsibilities. You will have to walk this path for at least seven years. That is the procedure.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The question then arises: how can such a vast thing start from this single system, and how can the relationships of generations fit together and the results answer for the paths taken? You do not know. True Parents are the only people who know the answer. Adam is standing at the completion period of the growth stage, and so he does not know about perfection. I am the person who came up with that. I am even thinking about what God cannot do, and what He does not want.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That is why True Parents and the King of Heaven and Earth have to be liberated. You will be set as the ancestor of the Blessing in the nation where you were registered and you will have birth registrations. The standards according to the generations will be connected automatically to heaven, and for eternity the liberated heaven will become the kingdom of love of God. Amen! [Amen!] Mark my words, because they will come true. Record them and listen to them.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">

<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Resumed hoondok)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now we should resolve the problem of Lucifer. Since I made the declaration today, today is the beginning. Let’s just start pushing. If there is any president who opposes Rev. Moon, grab him by the throat and confront him. Ask him if he knows what Rev. Moon is doing. Tell him to listen to one of my speeches.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">What Rev. Moon is doing right now is not for the ancestors, but the kinship. Each one has his/her own responsibility. Whether it is Lucifer or Confucius, they will all be asked to answer for their own responsibility. Even the Four Great Saints in heaven are trying to become one just as they would have done on earth.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Now the time has come for me to place the people who will unite all with the help of heaven and earth. I have the authority to appoint whomever I want to, but if I tell them to appoint the people, they will do so. All the good spirits who believed in the spirit world, and the Christians in the spirit world should all be brought together and united into one.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You just watch: when the Divine Principle is made public and declared and the media make noise, it will take less than six months. It will be a scarier weapon, maybe even several hundred times scarier, than atomic and nuclear bombs. What Satan had prevented until now by taking hold of the media and holding in the world, will all flow out at once.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I will use that information to protect anyone who suffers, and so welcome them to my side. I will not use it for my own good. I made them for the world and not for me. That is why I am not acting even now as the Korean government, the Korean religious sector, the United States and the world are opposing me.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">God wants True Parents to wait patiently until the fruit is ripe and it can be harvested. Now the time has come. When the right fruits are ripe they will fall with the help of the wind. By that I mean they will fall only when the wind blows. You should all become the blessed families of the spirit world and the physical world, who become the true fruits and are wise enough to be resurrected to their rightful places.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Resumed hoondok)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">You must have complete faith. Just as it will become like the very beginning of the creation when God spoke His first words, there is nothing else to it except absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. You should burn all that ties you to the past and pack your bags and wait. Only then can you be restored through indemnity.</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">(Resumed hoondok)</p>
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">
|
||||
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When this does not come right it will become useless. If all the eight stages are reversed, it will all become useless. We have the responsibility to level all standards that contradict each other. Since Adammade a mistake, we should take the responsibility upon ourselves in place of Adam’s family and heaven and earth, and all come together in the realm of total mobilization. There is great diversity. Now as the victors, you should all know the incredible fact that an era of liberation blessed by Heaven is coming.</p>

Notes by Tyler Hendricks<br />
|
||||
East Garden, Tarrytown, New York</h3>
|
||||
<p><b>Rev. Peter Kim</b>: On September 30, True Mother’s American speaking tour ended and True Parents left America to go to Korea, so they were gone exactly 40 days. We arrived in Korea for the October 3 holy day and October 4 Day of the Victory of Heaven. Foundation Day was at Soo Taek Ri, with 5,000 gathered. We did Hoon Dok Hae reading Father’s speech from last year’s October 3 holy day. Father said that everyone present should save part of the cake, rice and fruit from the offering table, note the date, and bequeath it to our descendents for thousands of years. That is the value of the moment we are in.</p>

<p>It is time to dash toward the providence of 2004 and totally accomplish it by 2012 if 2004 is delayed. Everyone there made that determination. True Parents emphasized <i>il shim</i>, having one mind, one mindset, and one heart, not even one degree deviated from God. It up to us to unite mind and body centering on the will of God and True Parents. The practice of absolute faith, love and obedience brings the result of one mind, heart and mindset.</p>
|
||||
<p>A new heaven and earth begin today, on the Foundation Day of the Victory of Heaven. True Father spoke of the holiness of the love organ, and how abusing it is like stabbing oneself. So keep your purity by controlling your love organ.</p>
|
||||
<p>On October 4 and the following days, 2,000 world leaders gathered together at Soo Taek Ri. Leaders should have economic power, to support their own ventures, the power of persuasion, and the ability to share God’s message with the world. A priest of God embraces the entire environment. It is time to harvest the 6,000 years of God’s suffering and liberate True Parents. When God created, it was an ‘omnipotent, absolute, perfect creation.’</p>
|
||||
<p>Even if there has been one degree of deviation every year, after thousands of years the creation is completely corrupted. The ideal to perfect the creation is that of the parents’ love for children. That defines the way of heaven, being absolute, omnipotent and unchanging.</p>
|
||||
<p>True Father spoke of one global system of media and education. Then on October 5-6 there was a meeting of Ambassadors for Peace, 2,000 from throughout South Korea, at Cheong Pyeong Lake. Father explained the meaning of the providence and responsibility of the Ambassadors for Peace. Dr. Yang gave an inspiring report from America, as did Rev. Kwak on the blessing ceremonies held by the IIFWP worldwide on the national level, in detail. Also they heard of the development of the Hoon Dok Family churches in Japan, and Rev. Hwang’s blueprint for development in Korea.</p>
|
||||
<p>One Ambassador for Peace was so inspired that he called his wife to come to Cheong Pyeong Lake to join him. Finally, True Father called for Tong Ban Kyok Pah (local tribal messiah activism to break through in the neighborhoods). Father called us to create trinities of families including one church representative (priest), one Tribal Messiah blessed couple, and one Ambassador for Peace. Father called for education of the Ambassadors for Peace to the same level of faith that the ACLC ministers’ reached at their workshop in Maryland. The members should create classes on the local level for that. The Ambassadors for Peace don’t know our church tradition, so True Father invited them to the Sunday pledge ceremony and Hoon Dok Hae in the Cheong Pyeong Lake temple. None of them opposed it. Their former emotional distance, with the attitude that ‘we are not Unification Church members,’ dissipated. For most of them it was the first time. They felt we are one family sharing one destiny. They developed pride in True Father and our movement.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>October 10</b>: Father explained about the Resolution Rally. The saints centering on Jesus made the resolution about God and True Parents. On earth we are having different levels of resolution rallies, and Father said we need the rally on every level from the individual all the way up the eight steps, culminating in God. This goes together with the Holy Burning Ceremony. Also, on October 7, Father directed that Hoon Dok Hae move to starting at 5 am. This is the time of burning out your old life and starting anew.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>October 12</b>: Father went fishing in Korea, and directed that a building be built on a certain location for education.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>October 14</b>: The 52nd anniversary of liberation from Heung Nam prison, and 3nd anniversary of the liberation of the spirit world [I hope I got that right — ed.]. Rev. Kwak read Hoon Dok Hae and we shared our determination to offer to True Parents and God all our appreciation. Father shared deeply about his experience in Heung Nam labor camp, foretelling that one day, people worldwide by the millions will visit that prison site. It will be the place for training the people of the world, so we should have a workshop center there. How? By establishing the absolute true love kingdom on earth. We are now crossing the river and strong waves are coming. There is only one way to succeed, and that is to cross quickly. This is the last moment of the entire Providence so don’t make any mistake in your thinking. Don’t hesitate, but quickly cross the river.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>October 16</b>: Rally of the Harmony of Heaven and Earth. We divided Korea into sections and local leaders and Ambassadors for Peace gathered at Cheong Pyeong Lake or Sun Moon University accordingly. Father’s speech was on God’s Fatherland and One World. We did one hour Hoon Dok Hae with the spirit world message, then Father spoke. He focused on the Korean leaders and Ambassadors for Peace. It is now time for all Korean people to unite, connect with the will of God and establish the Chun Il Guk. We should seek His Kingdom and His righteousness, as Father used as the foundation of his message that Bible verse. From this day, we need new traditions. We have the special Holy Burning Ceremony of the Unity of Heaven and Earth. It is a new tradition. Each family has done it, and if you didn’t, you must do it.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Ambassadors for Peace followed Father’s direction and burned whatever was most precious to them, connected with the secular world. It is your living offering to God. For most it was the first time to do such a thing. Some had nothing, and wrote on a piece of paper and burned it, or burned their tie. All priests, tribal leaders and Ambassadors for Peace did it. Buddhists are familiar with this kind of ceremony.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>October 20</b>: The third rally was held on the grounds of Sun Moon University, gathering 11,000 people from the southern area of the country. It was a rainy day, yet there was this turn out. But the spirit world stopped the rain, 30 minutes before the event. The event took three or four hours. After burning everything, and lining up for the bus, it started raining again. Heung Jin Nim and Daemo Nim held back the rain. On the way back to Seoul, it was pouring heavily. We felt the spirit world’s good support in that event particularly. We ate chicken at a rest stop on the way back to Seoul.</p>
|
||||
<p>True Father called Rev. Jung Og Yu to the Sun Moon University event, then told him to carry the event forward in Japan. Rev. Yu reported about the Korean community in Japan, which has always been divided by sympathy with the north and south. They are antagonistic with each other. North Korea established a university in Japan. Father invited the top North Korean leaders for a three-day workshop. They opened their hearts and minds and recognized the greatness of True Parents and Divine Principle. Then Father directed that we educate the lower level Koreans in Japan who are devoted to North Korea, and now those workshops are going on.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>October 30</b>: 580 Korean church leaders gathered and internally determined to fulfill all the directions that Father has been giving. At the end of the session, True Father called them all to Han Nam Dong. He explained about the trinity plan, with priest, tribal leader and Ambassador for Peace working together. Wherever you go, teach the lecture, not by your own way, but by reading the Divine Principle or using Mrs. Eu’s charts. That way, people directly touch the original world. All church leaders pledged to do so.</p>
|
||||
<p>More than 300 of our Unification leaders went to Pyongyang, in different teams. This was unprecedented in the last 50 years, and happened because of the benefit that North Korea receives from True Parents. The North Korean leaders believe in True Parents and do not deny God. Just yesterday, the last of the teams arrived back in the South. South Korea was shocked by this display of True Parents’ power. The North Korean leaders trust and believe True Parents, and expressed this to the Ambassadors for Peace who went on the tours. The Ambassadors for Peace are eye-witnesses of True Parents’ foundation in North Korea. Now they think that Rev. Moon is more than human, and that only True Parents can unify North Korea and South Korea. Many said that they will join the Unification movement.</p>
|
||||
<p>Our hotel in Pyongyang has 260 rooms and is famous in North Korea, with good food. The employees are the most handsome and beautiful. Kim Il Sung visited nine times, Kim Jong Il six times. They are bringing a profit now. Many foreigners stay there. England and other countries have opened diplomatic relations with North Korea, so the future of the hotel is bright. They visited the Pyonghwa Motors auto plant and saw how the North Koreans honor True Parents, a model for us.</p>
|
||||
<p>Then they would travel three hours to Jongju, True Parents’ hometown. Many of the Ambassadors for Peace went to their own ancestral hometown in North Korea. They bowed to their ancestors, weeping.</p>
|
||||
<p>Yesterday the third tour returned. Among the group were several Ambassador for Peace couples, including one 72 years old, both with hometowns in North Korea. It was the first time in 50 years for the husband to return home. He fell down, unconscious, when he arrived there, with a stroke. He was taken to a hospital, but North Korean health services are so poor. No equipment, no oxygen, nothing is clean. Mr. Sang Kwon Park suggested to Kim, Young Soon, who is second to Kim, Jong Il, that it is no good for someone to die because of lack of health care in North Korea. How about sending him to South Korea across the 38th parallel? Mr. Kim had to call Kim, Jong Il, who approved. It was the first time for a tourist to travel across the 38th parallel physically, transferred from a North Korea ambulance to a South Korea ambulance. He was taken straight to a hospital in Seoul.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>November 3</b>: Rev. Kwak reported about the WANGO event in Washington, DC, and Dr. Yang arrived and reported on the one-week Divine Principle workshop for ministers. I guess you know about that victory already.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>November 4</b>: Rev. Yu arrived from Japan and reported on the Holy Burning Ceremony, and all the spiritual phenomena. For example, in Tokyo, they had a big fire and were taking it down to the river. They needed to make ashes, to burn everything completely to ashes. Father said to keep the bowl in which the fire burned, wash it and allow people to see the evidence of the burning. The miracle was that they took a picture of the stain in the ashes in the washed bowl, and there appeared the words, ‘1965: People Should Have Their Hometown and Nation. People who love their hometown can love their nation.’ [I hope I got that right!] It showed up in white in the black ashes. People were surprised and took a picture that Rev. Yu brought to True Parents. In another city, they took a picture on which the image of the candle stand remained on a table where it was, after it had been removed.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>November 5</b>: 43rd True Children’s Day at Soo Taek Ri, on ‘The Revolution of the Mind (or Spirit).’ True Father explained that from now we should describe, in the Family Pledge, our family as ‘the owner of the Chun Il Guk’ [<i>Chun Il Guk juin-in</i>]. Peace settlement of the unity of Heaven and Earth. Peaceful establishment of the unity and peace of Heaven and Earth. Father offered this declaration.</p>
|
||||
[This means that we should begin each verse of the Family Pledge with the phrase ‘Chun Il Guk ju-in in ur-i kajong-un cham sarang-ae joong-shim ha-go,’ which means something like ‘Our family, owners of the Chun Il Guk, pledge etc. etc.’ In other words, ‘our family’ is now described as ‘our family that owns the Chun Il Guk.’ I expect that an official memo about this will come out soon, so don’t take my word for it, but my family is doing it like this now, because we heard about it from a Korean UTS student. Ed.]
|
||||
<p>True Father called 50 leaders from Japan and America. Fifty were chosen out of the thousand from Japan, and 50 from Korea, for a tour of the country. They learned about Korea and its culture. They left on the morning of the 7th. Fifty represents the foundation of each country. A friendship ceremony took place in which they became like triplets. So they should meet once a month, even by writing a letter (in Korean, only), and share their difficulties and blessings. Also they should have their children marry each other. Each trio took a picture with True Parents. Later we will build a condominium in which those leaders can live in the same place. They must speak and communicate in Korean, therefore they have to study Korean.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father</b>: Those people are like a model. In the future, the world will follow this pattern. Within three years, all world leaders should study Korean.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>November 7</b>: True Parents left Korea. Before leaving, True Parents visited a place Father lived as a student, south of the Han River (Kook Suk Dong), where he taught Sunday school. He lived in a house, and Father met the family that owned [and apparently still owns] that house, and gave them gifts. It was so long ago, but they didn’t forget Father. He forgave them and told them to study Divine Principle and receive the Blessing, and become members of the Unification movement. We saw how limitless is True Parents’ love.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father</b>: America has to bring this into balance, so you need to develop. How will you do it? Dr. Yang, please report.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Dr. Yang</b>: Rev. Peter Kim explained Father’s 40 days in Korea, and I would like to point out two things from that report. Father always supports America. The American president is very important providentially. In the recent elections, the government party (i.e., Republicans) increased. Behind the scenes were many miracles. This will support the coming years by solving many issues.</p>
|
||||
<p>Righteous government leaders support Parents Day and always send letters of congratulations to True Mother’s and True Father’s tours. They always attend events to support us. Key congressional committee leadership posts were regained by people who respect True Father’s vision and understand America’s responsibility. We support morality and the family as the way of America’s future. Many of our AFC and ALC graduates were elected, often in close races. Three of our members were elected on the state level. Their slogans are ‘Faith, Family and Freedom,’ and that America is a God-centered country.</p>
|
||||
<p>Also key governorships were held by Republicans, against strong national opposition from the Democrats. One re-elected governor’s web site, the day before the election, trumpeted the endorsement from <i>Tiempos del Mundo</i>.</p>
|
||||
<p>The ministers workshop in Maryland was especially important for them solidifying each others’ faith and commitment. We on earth have to advocate True Parents’ proclamation more than spirit world does, and America is slow with this so I apologize to True Parents. But now the message has gone out to 50 million readers. How do we respond to peoples’ questions? This was the purpose of the workshop, to equip the ministers to know ‘Who is Rev. Moon?’</p>
|
||||
<p>We shared what True Father has done in the world and in America, and his life goals and ministry. We focused on True Parents’ 80th birthday in DC and the American Century award. The theme of that event was ‘American Honors Rev. Sun Myung Moon on His 80th Birthday,’ with a beautiful logo. Tom Ward testified about the work to overcome communism, and ministers themselves spoke about the True Family Values movement. We will make a documentary film on the workshop. The conclusion is that Rev. Moon is the Messiah.</p>
|
||||
<p>We thus could give the lectures very easily, based on Jesus’ question to St. Peter, ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter’s answer was that you are Christ, the son of the living God.’ ‘Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you.’ The Segye Times in New York published a front page story about the workshop.</p>
|
||||
<p>Also a major Muslim leader in Detroit has participated in recent blessings, and he published photos of the Blessing in his magazine, including on the cover. Also the Muslim Journal editor is publishing about True Father and wants to meet True Father. He is an Ambassador for Peace and is so proud of it.</p>
|
||||
<p>One minister sent a letter to True Father, Dr. M—- from Brooklyn. [Dr. Yang read the letter, roughly as follows:] ‘This letter comes from one who fought your movement for 25 years. I didn’t believe that someone who does not speak English could do so much for America. But after 33 years of teaching the gospel of Jesus, my life was missing something. I asked God, and no answer came. Last February I lost my father, and seven years earlier on the same date, my mother had died.</p>
|
||||
<p>‘Then, my father came from spirit world and told me that Rev. Moon can help me. I didn’t believe it and fought it. Then in June, a lifelong friend, Philip Johnson in DC, spoke to me. I came here, and repent and ask your forgiveness. I ask for your blessing. Here I am, Father. All I can do, I will do for the work of God.’ He later gave a speech at Belvedere, and said he will change his name to Paul, because he had that Damascus road experience with True Parents. I’m sure he will be a filial son of True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>One more, from Minneapolis. ‘I will never forget the 50 state tour. The lights went out, and when they came back on, you were looking directly into my eyes. That night I knew, I will die for you. You have given me so much and that is all I can say.’ They say that even if they are persecuted, they will support True Father. They know how we are courageous and bold to convey this message to all Christian leaders. Many ministers are kicked out by their boards, but none of them are hesitating.</p>
|
||||
<p>This True Children’s Day, we received True Parents’ leaders meeting on the 6th. Father spoke of the restoration of the ocean, land and that this heavenly fortune is now connected with Korea. [Father traveled to two islands, one on either side of the Korean peninsula.] Huk Sang Dong is a beautiful island, and the eastern side is another one. My hometown is close by, and Rev. Yu is near another. In Korea, we have Tong-Il aviation, like Washington Aviation, with six helicopters. From our company in Seoul to the island is 1.5 hours. The island is like a miniature Soruk mountains. True Mother took photos and she is quite good; her pictures will be in the Tong-il magazine next month.</p>
|
||||
<p>The islands connect the ocean providence to the land of Korea. Rev. Yu and myself took some fruit and dropped it from the helicopter. The islands are connected with the ocean providence. On the way back, Rev. Yu’s hometown, the same as Kim, Dae Jung’s hometown, there are hundreds of islands there. On one big one, Rev. Yu’s relatives are living. His relatives and cousins came, and Father gave them fruit. Then we went to Mokpo and my hometown, 15 minutes away.</p>
|
||||
<p>My hometown has 100 houses, with young families. My cousins came, and they put up a banner welcoming True Parents. It is the first time that a helicopter landed there, so the entire village came out and welcomed True Parents. Father gave gifts, looked around and returned to Seoul. That blessing was not for me, but it represented all members’ hometown villages. Now that we have connected the tribal blessing, now Father can just give blessings from the helicopter. The villagers had a party until 9 pm. It is representing the hometowns of all brothers and sisters of Korea, Japan and America.</p>
|
||||
<p>Father stopped on the way back at Sun Moon University. Out of 200 universities, its soccer team is #7 in Korea. It is very strong, and this time, the Sun Moon University team won the national league of universities, defeating Koryo, Korea and Yonsei. The observers wonder where the power came from. Now our Ilhwa team is almost totally #1, we just have to win one more game.</p>
|
||||
<p>Father also has 2 champion teams in Brazil, and those players came to Korea to teach our college teams. A thousand students welcomed True Parents. They offered True Parents the championship flag. Now Father is connecting the soccer foundation with the movement for world peace.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father</b>: America is a big country. How will it move in connection with the will of God? The politics and economy make no difference unless it connects with the will of Heaven. That way, a revolution will come. So I have made a big pillar here on the land, with Chun Il Guk, with each person taking their own responsibility.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Yang offered a closing prayer.</p>

East Garden, Tarrytown, New York<br />
|
||||
Translation by Rev. Jeong Phyo Hong<br />
|
||||
Notes by Tyler Hendricks</h3>
|
||||
[At 5 am, True Parents and True Family came into the main room at East Garden to lead the Family Pledge. Rev. Kwak led us in reciting the Family Pledge. We began each verse with the words <i>‘Chun Il Guk juin’</i> and then the usual <i>‘uri kajong un cham sarang ul joongshim ha-go.’</i> Then Rev. Kwak (not True Father) offered the representative prayer, and we sat down and Hoon Dok Hae began. Mrs. McDevitt read from The Way of Unification of North and South. Father said that we should know about this.]
|
||||
<p><i>[Hoon Dok Hae]</i></p>
|
||||
<p>Father recognized Mrs. Erikawa, who was present, for her 3 years and eight months street preaching in front of a university, suffering severe persecution from communists.</p>
|
||||
<p><i>[Hoon Dok Hae]</i></p>
|
||||
<p><b>True Father</b>: I went to Korea (referring to October-November of this year) and worked with the Ambassadors for Peace more than three times, preparing ideas. Behind what I am doing are the providential ideas. God and I are working hard. You cannot just throw away history; you have to open it and apply it to your life. That is why we need Hoon Dok Hae.</p>
|
||||
<p>We need the House of Peace and Unification of the Family of Heaven and Earth. We have to educate all the Korean people. They do not know who they are, from the family level to the world level. Do you think America or Russia can take this responsibility? Only God and I know the idea. I am doing it now, preparing for the future.</p>
|
||||
<p>There are many young people here. Are you connected to free sex and immorality? If you are, God will judge you. I spent 30-40 years here; my golden years were invested in America. So America is responsible to recognize me. I received persecution here. The American government cannot ignore me. The world expects to be unified centering on America, to create one unified world. To accomplish the goal depends upon the extent to which my ideas are applied.</p>
|
||||
<p>You are the bodies of spirits. This generation can go down to the bottom, upside down, and bring it to a new Heaven and Earth. If you want to go to the top, you will not go anywhere. Go to the bottom. More than any other people, you Americans should work hard and cross the borderline of hell into the Kingdom of Heaven. To do that, you must determine that no matter what difficulties appear, you will keep going.</p>
|
||||
<p>Each family has ownership of the Chun Il Guk. Each of you tend to understand the providence according to your own nationality, but from now we have to understand it on an equal level, the level of the Chun Il Guk family. Measure yourself by that standard. I am prepared to prolong the work for ten more years. American leaders, you must know this idea. I do not know how much you understand.</p>
|
||||
<p><i>[Hoon Dok Hae]</i></p>
|
||||
<p>Our lectures should be centered on the textbook, with a chart.</p>
|
||||
<p><i>[Hoon Dok Hae]</i></p>
|
||||
<p>These ideas emerged 12 years ago, when I had the system of ideas. But the former presidents of South Korea destroyed the system. Now I have reconstructed it and hence am sending out women to the village level to reconstruct the system. From November 12, women leaders’ workshops will begin. We will mobilize thousands of women to move South Korea in the heavenly direction. I prepared this and then came here.</p>
|
||||
<p>The time is up. We have to prepare our own nation. South Korea and America have no owners. The president is not the owner. The Republicans won and are so proud and do not realize the Unification support through godly education over the years on the grassroots. We have created such a grassroots foundation.</p>
|
||||
<p>You young people should learn how to influence society as soldiers of the movement. If you sit down with nothing to do, you will accomplish nothing. If you do something, you will inherit the fortune of God.</p>
|
||||
<p>We lost such a wonderful foundation 14 years ago. Now we have to rebuild the tong ban kyok pah foundation. If we cannot, I may give up my Korean nationality. American youth, you look at me, but if you do not save America — you have to do it at the cost of your life. You have to save the American family. If you clearly know the tradition but do not practice it, then you should perish. If you know it, you have to apply it on the tribal level. If you don’t, your life is worth nothing.</p>
|
||||
<p>You sleep and nap, and the sun comes up in the morning. If you sleep, you do not recognize that the morning has arrived. In that case, you will go down and turn into fertilizer. When the sun rises, you should welcome it as a new start with a new idea, and connect it to God. America is the second Israel. Think how to mobilize and guide your tribe.</p>
|
||||
<p>If Jesus had connected with the tribe, as their priest, connected with the religious foundation, then he could have connected with Rome, sending an Ambassador for Peace. Now we have prepared several tens of thousands of Ambassadors for Peace. Their role is to educate the top leaders in their country, so that they will recognize where the world is situated providentially.</p>
|
||||
<p>After crossing the mountain, we enter the new Heaven and Earth. Without that foundation, it will be difficult. You must determine yourself to educate clergy, 144,000. On December 7 is the blessing. I will totally support your efforts with Japanese missionaries. If your Ambassadors for Peace cannot do it, it is a shame upon America.</p>
|
||||
<p>Beyond the darkness, we should welcome the new sunrise. You should forget America and embrace the whole world. I have forgotten the Unification Church in order to embrace the world. This is how to overcome hell. If you cannot overcome hell, you will perish. Those who criticize are kicked out. Then you will enter the Jericho castle, and use all resources, power and energy, with one mind to shout out.</p>
|
||||
<p>Recognize yourself. Tighten your belt. Connect beyond your nation. Recognize who you are and your responsibility, and march forward.</p>
|
||||
<p><i>[Hoon Dok Hae]</i></p>
|
||||
<p>As you hear this speech about the unification of South Korea and North Korea, or east and west, think about how you can connect or apply this idea to your life. There are 6 billion people on the earth and each has to recognize their counterpart in the Unification — (?) You don’t know how to use this idea. The idea of the Lord of the Second Advent; the term ‘True Parents’ started from the Unification Church.</p>
|
||||
<p>You are attending the True Parents and have that concept. This is an historical matter. You are uniting your mind and body and parents and children with no boundaries in your family. It is such a unified environment that will move the family, society nation and world. How can we overcome? How can we bring the unique idea, the foundation representing Heaven and Earth?</p>
|
||||
<p>You are princes and princesses of Heavenly Father. It is such an important idea. Now True Parents have come, who can re-organize and recreate the reconstructed ideas. This is not simple. It is not only a concept; we must do it. A human lifetime is less than 100 years. It is impossible in human terms, but by connecting with God it is possible. You can connect with the ideas and destroy the fallen nature that leads to a divided husband and wife, parents and children and mind and body.</p>
|
||||
<p>Only God and Satan know. Because Satan knows; he should be set back. He motivates the fighting on every level. The Buddhist idea of bringing back peace — God knows the solution , but Satan is against it. As you do not know, you are quarreling in mind and body and in your family. In that crippled situation, only by centering on God can you restore unity. God can show a better way than you.</p>
|
||||
<p>No one understands God or the purpose of religion. Presidents do not know their responsibility. Then all layers of ways emerge; only God knows. But Satan can destroy it. Religion has developed for 6,000 years from the position of slave, through eight stages. This is the history of religion. But finally God has to take responsibility, and the religions that do not know the will of God go their own way. Then even thousands of years pass and they cannot reach their goal.</p>
|
||||
<p>Judaism, Christianity and Unification Church are centered on bringing in the Messiah. They represent the Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament. The Completed Testament is perfection, representing the unity of husband and wife and mind and body. You absolutely unite with God through the Messiah. It means to unite with God’s life and lineage. That is the fate of humankind. The Messiah is the Savior, to save all humankind.</p>
|
||||
<p>False parents planted a false lineage and the True Parents plant the new one and clean up the old one through eight stages and restore all things. The new comes in through True Parents.</p>
|
||||
<p>The religious realm is Abel and the political realm is Cain. They are always against each other. They developed into national levels. As Unification Church members, are you united in mind and body, or divided? You should stop that fighting within, and center on God’s blood lineage and say, ‘That is me. I am the son or daughter who has received God’s love, God’s lineage and all kinds of ideas. That seed is connected to me.’ How much do you recognize that idea?</p>
|
||||
<p>Because of false parents, there are thousands of boundaries. God and True Parents came and started at one point, with God as my Father, with my husband as my elder brother and my wife is my elder sister, elder daughter. Then they come into oneness in the family. This is to go the opposite way from Satan, connecting to True Parents love and life and lineage. You should have that self-recognition.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your mind gives you direction. It has to tell you to follow absolute faith, love and obedience. God’s mind and body do not struggle. The starting point is one within God. In the position of prince and princess, it is your starting point. Then, totally united as husband and wife, God will come to that center. That is the blessed couple. Without that foundation, you cannot develop. That way, you perfect your family. Beyond the filial piety and loyalty, you can go forward as saints.</p>

[Father drew a grid with inverted cones, meeting vertically, centering on the y-axis, at their tips. The upper cone is the true, the lower is the false. They are exchanged. Every level of the lower cone is to be denied. At the bottom is hell. All the levels on the lower cone are divided by boundaries. There are sixteen boundaries in all, with a pair, internal and external, on each of the eight stages. Similarly eight stages go up on the upper cone, Then each stage above is connected with the corresponding stage below, and turns it upside down, or brings it right side up, as it were. In the process of explanation, Father drew vertical lines along the x-axis, right and left, extending up and down to the perimeters of each level of the cone. Then, in a separate upper cone, Father drew concentric circles at the top of the cone, with lines going from the extremes of each concentric circle down to the x-axis. Then he drew a line meandered among the parallel lines, representing God freely traveling throughout the cosmos.]
|
||||
<p>Are you, Unification Church leaders, exchanged [i.e., have you made the transition from the lower cone to the upper cone]? Are you not connected to smoking? to dating? Your mind has to dominate your body, or you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.</p>
|
||||
<p>Because of the fall, the top side went down and lower side up, and —</p>
|
||||
<p>How fearful are these ideas; how important. So you should be correct in exchanging. Living here on earth, you have to cross the boundary and discover oneness in yourself. You have to recognize your position and exchange with the corresponding level.</p>
|
||||
<p>Motion is not created through maintaining your ideas; motion is created through give and take action. So, there aren’t any boundaries. If a wife has a boundary between herself and her husband, without paying attention, she is making — We should tear down the boundary from the individual, family, tribe — until Heaven and Earth are united as one. Integrated with the virtues of filial piety, patriotism, sainthood and divinity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Are you loving your spouse that way? Are you a true husband, a true son of God? You have to offer everything to True Parents. If you have possessiveness about your own things, you are still connected with the satanic culture. Women lost their true bridegroom. Now I have come. From the bottom of your heart, you should connect.</p>
|
||||
[It is 8 a.m. and I close the laptop with regret, in order to return to Barrytown to prepare for Sunday service. Later I was told that Father’s speech continued for another 45 minutes.]
